welcome to the weekend...

 i actually got some sleep in my own bed last night. it was only two hours, but that is the most i have had in my bed in weeks. i got 3 hours in my massage chair, so i at least felt like i was with it today. of course, my arthritis decided i was going to have to pay for that.

Vice News Tonight had two really good episodes this week.

both episodes of The Captain last night were good. next week is the finale.

Big Brother was good last night. Nicole was evicted, although it wasn't quite the blindside i was hoping for. Michael is the new HOH.

NJPW was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

the Yankees play tonight in St. Louis. hopefully, they can get back to winning again.

i did watch a little of the Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace match today as the Premier League started back up. Manchester United plays on Sunday.

i need to do some writing either tonight or tomorrow morning. like really knock out a good 5 to 10 poems. i believe someone i'm not supposed to talk about is coming down here tomorrow. so, i'll be in my room anyway.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i'm hoping it won't be fucking stormy here all weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

welcome to the weekend

 i got up early this morning and fed the birds. it was 45 degrees outside, so i didn't bother to water the plants. that damn cold front came through yesterday. i had to turn the damn furnace back on last night.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

AEW was pretty good last night as well.

Pause with Sam Jay was hilarious last night.

The Shop was very good last night.

the season finale of A Black Lady Sketch Show was excellent last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was good last night.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night.

the Yankees lost last night to the Tigers, 3-2 in 10 innings. hopefully, they will win this afternoon.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH and MLW.

i'm sure i will watch some of the NBA and NHL playoffs today.

i plan on watching the Champions League final today as well.

team USA is currently winning 2-0 over Norway at the Hockey Worlds at the end of the second period.

i've got the soccer game between Brentford and Swansea City on in the living room. the winner gets promoted to the Premier League. 

i will probably be on here early tomorrow. 

my sister should be down here this afternoon.

i'm glad i got out to feed the birds when i did. the guy that cuts our grass was here less than a hour later mowing the yard before it rains again.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

until tomorrow kids...

what a day...

so, where the fuck to begin... my doctor's visit was a little crazy today. i guess my A1C hasn't changed, which pisses me off. the doctor acted like it was no big deal since everyone is stuck inside with this pandemic, and then as i was leaving... i got handed an order to go get my blood drawn. and since they have a facility on site in their new building, i had to go get it done right then and there. so, my 2:30 appointment went to about 3. the blood work went from about 3:15 to 3:30. i still had to do the grocery shopping after that and i hadn't had anything to eat since breakfast. fucking joy.

i went to the local grocery store before the doctor's appointment. that went pretty well. the larger grocery store after the appointment was a bit of a clusterfuck. mind you, my back has been feeling like shit all damn day. so, by the time i was getting home (5:30 PM), i was pissed at the world.

i also hit up the Dollar Tree close to the doctor's office to see if they sell any baseball cards, like they used to. of course not. i did find some Batman stuff i had never seen before. so, the trip wasn't fruitless.

my doctor also has this new policy where he wants to see his own patients once a year and the rest of the time he wants the patients to go to the 4 nurse practitioners he has in the office. when i told mom that when i got home, she wasn't thrilled.

and then she sprung on me the news that she has a foot doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon. so, i guess i know what i am doing.

Deadliest Catch was good last night. next week's episode looks like it is going to be fucking crazy.

WWE Backstage was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, AEW and NXT.

i did watch a little bit of the Premier League before i left for the doctor's office. as i told my mother, if everything goes as planned, the victory drinking could be back on Friday after Manchester United plays. i think she is more excited for that than i am.

i bought a shirt last night and i really fucking can't wait to wear it.
https://www.stereogum.com/2088071/black-sabbaths-black-lives-matter-shirt-is-great/news/

i guess i'll be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to her foot doctor.

that's all for me kids. i have a bad back screaming for a massage chair.

until tomorrow.

ever talk to someone and you just know they are the one?...

every blue moon or so, i'll have a conversation with a female and my heart and mind and gut will all come to an agreement. i've only had it happen 4 times in my entire life. this morning was my 4th. and this woman knows my feelings for her and while being her friend is something i do cherish, i'd give my left arm and probably both of my feet to be more than just a friend. but, like just about every other female in this damn world, she lives nowhere near me, so patience is the only thing i can possibly have during this damn pandemic. i've always joked about dying the moment i find true love. so, if i happen to die anytime soon, at least a few of you will know that this one was the one.

un día mi dulce ángel, estaremos juntos para siempre

NXT was really, really good last night.

AEW was really great last night as well.

What We Do in the Shadows was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Cake, Total Bellas, Holey Moley, Desus & Mero, Shelter in Place with Shane Smith and No Mercy No Malice with Professor Scott Galloway. i watched NXT UK earlier this afternoon. it was excellent.

i saw that the Premier League is coming back in June. so, it looks like my days of drinking will be starting again soon. joy.

i don't think we got any mail delivered to the house today other than what i ordered from Amazon for my mother's birthday next month. not sure what's up with that.

i will probably be on here tomorrow in the afternoon. i have some pills to pick up (most likely) and god knows what else i might have to buy when i'm out.

i hope everyone is well.

the youth movement begins today

i was happy that A-Rod got to have "his" night last night. the ceremony was the clusterfuck that more or less his career has been, so that was fitting. he got a RBI double in the first inning and actually contributed for the first time in ages. he also got to play 3rd base for the first time in over a year for one batter. the best part of it all was the Yankees won their 3rd in a row, 6-3. now today, the youth movement finally begins. the Yankees called up Tyler Austin and Aaron Judge for today's game. i'm fucking thrilled to finally see some of the prospects play in the majors. and hopefully they do well enough that the relics they are replacing are never heard from again. they are also honoring the 1996 team today. hopefully some of that magic rubs off on the kids.

the Cypress Hill concert i watched last night certainly brought back some memories from my youth. it also reminded me how much i miss smoking weed.

the Premier League started off this morning with a nice shock. first time ever the champions from the previous season lost their first game of the next season. so hopefully that means Leicester City truly was just a fucking fluke.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

mom and i went to the grocery store yesterday. we wanted to make sure we got everything done just in case we do get some holy shit rain today. i believe i found my latest muse while i was there. i was getting my lemonade that i love and turned around and nearly walked right into a beautiful black woman. it took nearly everything i had to stop myself from trying to bury my face in her ass. needless to say, there will be poems.

team USA men's basketball team won again yesterday on just talent and no chemistry. to beat Serbia by only 3 points, 94-91, is a bit of a head scratcher. they next play against France on Sunday. i believe Paul George said it best yesterday, they are simply too easy to guard at the moment. i can't stand watching a team that just stands around on offense. it drives me fucking nuts. and as my mother would say, it's a short drive.

i'll be on here sometime after Manchester United plays tomorrow morning.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

i used to like thunderstorms at night

i used to like thunderstorms at night. the lightning would always thrill me anytime it would light up a dark room. now, saddled with arthritis and apathy, i hate thunderstorms at night. i couldn't get comfortable at all last night. plus, it really fucks with the shows i'm trying to record on my DVR.

WWE Payback was really good last night for the most part. the show started off really awkward as the first match had to be stopped due to injury. thankfully, it looks like Enzo Amore just has a concussion and nothing more. next up was Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn and it did not disappoint. they were the match of the night up until the main event. i'll give AJ Styles an immense amount of credit for making Roman Reigns look like a million bucks in the main event. these 2 are going to wrestle again at the next ppv as well. hopefully the match will be even better. all in all, i'd have to say it was a better event than i thought it was going to be.

the Sunday night shows were excellent last night. House of Lies had me laughing. Silicon Valley was really funny. Veep was fucking hilarious. and Penny Dreadful was spooky as hell last night. i so missed this show. and now with a few new characters introduced, it's going to get even better.

just as i thought, once the New York Yankees started scoring runs, the pitching would turn to shit. the Yankees got swept last night, losing to Boston 8-7. they are in last place and look even worse than what they are. now, i've been a fan since the early 80's, so i remember the days when they were bad. i'm really having fun watching the entitled shits that became Yankees fans in the late 90's, as they have no clue what a shitty season truly is. enjoy your baptism idiots. the team is thankfully off tonight and play tomorrow in Baltimore i believe. oh goody, more losing.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and Gotham. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw.

i did watch Tottenham piss away a 2 goal lead today to Chelsea, which means Leicester City has won the Premier League. for those that don't know, that would the equivalent of a AA minor league baseball team winning the Major League World Series. 5,000 to 1 odds. damn.

i drove mom around this afternoon to get some shit done she's been putting off. plus, my car insurance was due and we figured it out to get it as cheap as possible while she's deciding what new vehicle to buy.

i got the rest of my order from Amazon.com today. thankfully, our roof comes over our front door just enough that there's a little dry spot for our lazy ass mailman to put packages. now if i could just get the fucker to ring the doorbell.

i'm really hoping mom likes her mother's day gift.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

amazing what a little bit of "clutch" can do...

i was watching the New York Yankees just come up empty inning after inning last night, wondering how the fuck were they able to hit David Price every other place he played but now he's Cy fucking Young in Toronto. finally in the 8th, signs of life. a couple of hits in a row. what a concept. they got Price out of the game and then Carlos Beltran showed everyone on earth what clutch looks like. a HUGE 3 run pinch hit homer that gave the Yankees the lead, 4-3. they would go on to win the game at that score, even though Andrew Miller tried his hardest to give the game away. that puts the Yankees back in first place by 1/2 game. they will hopefully increase that lead this afternoon.

i saw that Talib Kweli released a surprise new album last night, Fuck The Money, for FREE. i jumped all over that. it took me awhile to download it, i'm guessing that was most likely user error on my part. but, after i did get it downloaded, what a fucking album. it's truly fucking great. i highly recommend it. for more about it, go here:

NJPW was really good last night. Treehouse Masters was good as well. i took a nice long shower last night, hoping that would make me feel better. it worked for a few hours until the damn thunder started around 4 in the morning.

enjoy some music kids:

now laugh:

one of these mornings, i may actually try this:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH and the season finale of Power.

i'm not sure if i'm going with mom to the grocery store or not today. she seems to be doing much better than she was doing the last couple of days.

a big thank you to Janne Karlsson for the artwork this morning. hopefully one day i will be able to share it with everyone when it gets published.

i'm really enjoying having the Bundesliga on Fox Sports now. i haven't been able to watch that league for years. of course, in a week or so, i'll truly be able to drive my mother nuts when i flip from the Premier League to the Bundesliga to Serie A to Ligue 1 to La Liga. and here she worried i would never be "cultured".

that's all for me today kids. i hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday. tip your waitress, only fuck the ones that cough, buy a better cut of steak, drink the finest wine, only pay for the nightcap when you know the police aren't involved and take a moment or two to appreciate your favorite artists and poets, etc., with a large cash donation.

early one morning...

i can tell i'm in full Premier League mode now when i'm up early on a Saturday morning and my team isn't even playing. especially when i didn't get to bed until 3 in the morning. yes, i agree, it's a disease.

the Yankees were down 3-0 before there was an out recorded last night. i figured, fuck, here we go again. amazingly, the White Sox didn't score for the rest of the game. the Yankees won in the bottom of the ninth, 4-3. that was a nice victory beer. today is Joe Torre day at the stadium. they are retiring his number 6 and giving him a plaque in monument park. there should be plenty of former players back for today. another day in the forest of nostalgia. hopefully they can get another win after the ceremony.

the grocery store was a bit of an odyssey yesterday. i loved the cashier's reaction when mom put down $40 worth of coupons. fucking priceless. the people watching was ok. saw a few faces that i could perhaps make into something. not sure. i'm guessing in a week or so something will come out of this brain.

i nearly forgot The Knick was on last night. thankfully, i remembered before i went to bed. glad i did. another great episode. i highly recommend this show.

the guy who farms out here came over last night. had to pay the bill for the spring planting and whatnot. thankfully, the rain didn't damage any of the crops. so, we're looking like we might have a record harvest this year.

not sure what i'm going to watch this evening other than the new ROH episode. perhaps i'll do a little writing or maybe sit down and actually put the logo for this blog that i have in my head down on paper. just imagine what i could do if i actually knew how to do this shit on a computer.

that's pretty much all for me. i will be back on here tomorrow morning before Manchester United plays. hope everyone is having a great start to their weekend. thanks again for allowing me to waste some of your precious time.

revenge of the dead moles

the past 30 hours or so have been miserable. strap in kids, as i'm going to take you on a little ride.

so, yesterday i was out feeding the birds when i came across a dead mole. that was obviously the work of Kit Kat as she is the only cat we have that doesn't eat what she kills. within two minutes, i roll my fucking ankle on some earth that the fucking moles were digging in. and i rolled it enough that i needed ice and could barely walk the rest of the day. so, that basically ended any hopes i had to mow as i could barely hit the gas pedal when i took down the trash. and today i busted open my left leg while in the hog barn looking for the kittens that Whitey just had. i believe she had 3. made sure i cleaned the cut and got some Neosporin on it as god knows what kind of 100 years old shit was on what i hit. good times.

so i had the misfortune of watching the Yankees yesterday. a 5-1 loss that CC couldn't get out of the 4th inning. holy shit. thank god Aceves was able to eat up the rest of the innings. they play tonight out in California. they hardly ever play well at the Angels, so i'll avoid the game for as long as possible.

the New York Rangers lost 3-0 last night. if The King wouldn't have been on, it would have been something around 7-0. they play game 3 tonight, which i believe is like the Rangers 5th game in 7 days. i'd like to think they will win tonight, but they looked tired as fuck last night. i just hope they get off to a good start and the crowd can pump some energy into the team.

given my anger i had last night, i was able to make it through all the shows. Nurse Jackie had a good ending that will set up next week perfectly. Californication was brilliant as always. Silicon Valley made me laugh. plus, i love graffiti art. Veep was really fucking funny, especially the bar scene. Last Week Tonight was great. and i loved the piece on the death penalty. Years of Living Dangerously was perfect last night. i'm constantly amazed by these fuckers on the right who don't believe in science but will willfully put their faith in god, just because. once again, i understand why so many of my friends are atheists. Total Divas was pretty funny, but more in the i've been a pro wrestling fan for 35 years and that's the only reason i'm watching this kind of way.

as for tonight, i will somehow try to fit in The Voice, Monday Night Raw, and a new season of Louie around the Rangers playoff game and the Yankees on the west coast. another late night and another night on YouTube i imagine.

speaking of YouTube, i believe i have my next video planned out. now, it's just getting off my lazy ass and shooting it.

probably the only thing that has brought me joy in the last 2 days was watching Liverpool blow a 3 goal lead to Crystal Palace. watching those assholes cry on the pitch made me cackle with joy. of course, that means Manchester City is most likely going to win the Premier League this year. but, as a Manchester United supporter, i look at it like this. the last time Shitty won the title, United won it the next year with ease. so, hopefully history shall repeat itself.

i woke up in a bit of a mood this morning. my music selections today at iTunes make no sense to anyone other than me. you'll see those below.

i'll be on here tomorrow sometime after the Manchester United game. hope this finds everyone well.

and for my little nod to Cinco de Mayo

a hazy summer day on the farm

i'm sure you see that title and you're going to expect some stories about animals and the weather, ha ha, fooled ya.

i have spent most of the day going between the Premier League and the start of a new season for Serie A.

now, i did feed the cats and the birds and had to run off some groundhogs from eating the cat food, but that was a small portion of the day.

most of the day was spent napping between goals in the Premier League and then laughing my ass off at the AC Milan loss (sorry Janne) and the Juventus win all because of one man, Ray Hudson. easily, the funniest color guy doing sports in the USA. check out this site for some lines http://rayhudsonquotes.tumblr.com/ and please do a YouTube search for some as well. you'll be entertained for hours.

only saw 5 cats today. not sure if my early appearance didn't fit into their schedule or there was another raid by the coyotes last night. i guess i'll know by tomorrow.

sadly, last night the Yankees ran into a pitcher they just can't beat and Kuroda was missing his spots. that all results in a 7-2 loss. CC goes tonight in a game they have to win, but, of course, Tampa owns CC. hopefully the world reverses for the night and the Yankees win in that dump.

other than that tonight, i guess i might sneak in some football and some ROH this evening.

sorry for the short one today, but i doubt one wants to read about what cookies i've had today or the kind of cheese i put on my crackers.

until tomorrow, where i'll probably be bitching about fantasy football draft results... joy.

music:

so much for doom and gloom

so i got up this morning ready for the return of the Premier League. hats off to NBC for their coverage of it. i truly love being able to see any of the matches. but the one i paid the most attention to started at 12:30. i had heard for the last week or so how Manchester United was going to fail this season, all the turmoil, lack of player signings, etc etc. so, all they do is go out at the team that finished 9th last season and win 4-1. 2 goals from RvP and 2 goals from Welbeck. Rooney played about 30 minutes and had 2 assists. it's rather obvious that he wants to be elsewhere from his body language. it is also really apparent that the club isn't going to sell him. as long as they win, i couldn't care less. a great start to the season.

the Yankees won last night in Boston 10-3. i had to laugh as Alfonso Soriano stayed hotter than hot with another HR and 4 RBI. Mark Reynolds, recently let go from the Indians, mostly because he hadn't hit a HR in 2 months, goes deep in his first at bat for the Yankees. if they can get some pitching and a few guys can stay hot over a month or so, i really think this team has a chance to make the playoffs. first time i have felt that all season. due to the stupid blackout rules, i'll only be able to follow today's game online. i figure i'll check in from time to time.

i do plan on watching some UFC tonight as i found Fox Sports 1 on DIRECTV this morning. so i have yet another sports channel to occupy my time. i also plan on watching ROH late tonight. an evening of combat.

hats off to my friend Sam Roberts, Professional Broadcaster, for the great interviews he's getting out in Los Angeles. go to his YouTube channel and check them out.
http://www.youtube.com/user/notsam

that's all for today. i have a fridge full of beer and i'm going to go enjoy a great victory.

hope everyone's weekend is off to a good start.

thoughts on what could have been

after watching the Yankees win again last night, 11-3 with Alfonso Soriano having another career game (2 HR 7 RBI), i was really hoping they would get the 4 game sweep today. then, i reminded myself Phil Hughes was pitching and the chances of the sweep happening were slim and fucking none. all in all, Hughes didn't pitch horrible today. but not good enough either. the bullpen really shit the bed. and the offense let chance after chance slip by. 8-4 loss, which pretty much kills any momentum they had going up to Boston. now, i'm sure they will spin it that they won another series, the bats are warming up, etc. etc. it's too late in the season for moral victories.

i was very happy to see team USA win in Europe yesterday 4-3. first time they have ever won when trailing in Europe. i really enjoyed that victory beer. 12th win in a row i do believe.

Duck Dynasty last night was hilarious. i often find myself while i'm watching the show thinking about how my stepdad would have loved this show.

The Bridge last night peeled another layer of the onion back. i really hope this show answers all the questions by the end of the season. i've watched enough to have a ton of them. best show i've seen in quite some time.

yet again tonight, due to pre-season NFL games, i'll have to follow Big Brother via the internet. i guess i could try doing some writing as i'm doing that. who knows. i am looking forward to Wilfred tonight on FX.

hope everyone enjoyed the cartoon i posted earlier. that gives you a little taste of what Janne Karlsson and i have been working on. i really want to find a good publisher for what we've got so far. i really think it will blow some minds.

cat update:

my cats Walt Whitman and Jermaine Jackson have been officially scratched off the list. i believe they are dead as it has been over a month since i have seen them. the 2 kittens i saw in the igloo the other day are actually 4 kittens. i still have no fucking clue who the mother is, but i am leaning to believing it is Michael Jackson. hopefully i will get solid proof by this weekend.

can't believe the Premier League starts up this weekend. another 7 months of the potential of being pissed off from Saturday morning on. lovely. i like that many of the "experts" are doubting Manchester United with no Sir Alex. hopefully the team accepts that chip on their shoulder and prove everyone wrong yet again.

about 10 days or so until my fantasy football drafts. hopefully i will have luck on my side again this season.

that's all for today. i do hope this finds everyone well. and hello to all my new readers and followers in Sweden.
