the sun will come back someday i guess

today was yet another cloudy, rainy, gloomy day. perfect for a poet, if that poet wasn't riddled with arthritis.

i did send out 27 poems today; 6 to ZYX, 5 each to Otoliths, Shot Glass Journal and Synchronized Chaos, 3 each to The Beatnik Cowboy and Bluepepper. when i hear back from these places (i've already heard back good news from Synchronized Chaos) i will post the verdicts.

the New York Yankees held on for a 3-2 victory yesterday over Tampa. the Yankees start a series tonight at home against Baltimore. they are 3 1/2 games behind Boston in the division.

Mr. Mercedes was excellent last night.

Big Brother went as i expected last night. Alex was evicted. Paul is the new HOH. i believe he also won the POV, so Christmas will evict the next house guest. that will probably be Kevin. Paul has already said he wants to take Josh to the final 2. hopefully that plan blows up in his face.

You're the Worst was great last night.

Total Bellas was pretty damn funny last night.

Lucha Underground was celebrating its 100th episode last night. i would say about 95 out of the 100 have been excellent.

NXT was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother, The Chris Gethard Show, Better Things and Fuck, That's Delicious Classics.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. you can find that by going here:

i made a little trip over to Meijer today after i went to the post office. i needed some picture frames (on sale) and a few odds and ends and mom was low on Diet Coke (on sale). so, i figure i would get that today while i was out. i know how the drug fiends get when they are going without.

i need to go to the grocery store tomorrow, so i will probably be on here after that.

i believe the fucking sun is supposed to come out tomorrow. it would be nice if the weekend was at least fucking bearable here.

until tomorrow my friends.

better than the dreams

i don't think i could have dreamed of Manchester United getting off to a better start to this season. they played the best i have seen them play in years, probably since Sir Alex. and to get a 4-0 win over West Ham to start off the season will hopefully be a sign of things to come. 2 goals from Lukaku and a goal each from Martial and Pogba. i will certainly enjoy that drink this evening.

the New York Yankees got off to a good start yesterday and then the shit hit the fan. Boston whipped them 10-5 and honestly, it never felt that close. i would say hopefully they will win tonight, but i seriously doubt they will. they now have 2 starters on the disabled list and honestly, i could see them have to fight tooth and nail just to hang on to a wildcard spot for the playoffs.

ROH was really good last night.

i did get a good laugh from the President's inability to say the KKK or white nationalists or white supremacists in his bullshit comments on what happened yesterday in Charlottesville, Virginia. of course, when you have fucking racists whispering into your ear everyday from inside the White House, what should i expect. the hoods have been replaced with red hats. as one headline said today, Trump lit the flames of hatred, it's up to us to put them out. i urge all of you to check out this link and read the article and then really, really think about what fucking country you want to live in.

i do plan on watching the Spanish Super Cup this afternoon, which is getting ready to start now. this is the first leg between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

i had a heartbreaking phone call with my best friend this morning. when she told me her apartment has a gas leak but the landlord won't do anything to fix it, i was furious. but, since she told she's been fucked over by every social service there is in Arkansas, i told her the best advice i had for her is to either leave the state or die as quietly as she can. there certainly is a piece of me that thinks i might not hear from her again.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. all i'm hoping is that my damn headache is gone by then.

and then all the hours start running together...

so when i last left you, i was on my way to the grocery store...

i first had to make yet another run to Rite-Aid for mom. thankfully, they had both things i was looking for. i brought them back home as mom was in the middle of a phone call with her surgeon. apparently mom's pain number was up at 9. even i know, that's not good. so the surgeon wanted us to come in this afternoon. more on that later. i had to go to the grocery store, but before i did, i had a nasty shit to take. one of those shits that i knew i will be walking around in the store and some sweat will run down my back into the cauldron of shit and blood festering in my asshole. (some artist in Sweden is smiling) while at the store, i wasn't able to find everything mom wanted, so i compensated the best way i know how; candy and ice cream. i got back home and got all the groceries put away and then mom told me i needed to go back to the store to get the better pain drugs the doctor ordered for her to take immediately. oh goody, so right back to where i just was. i figured since i was out, i'd get dinner as well.

i didn't sleep well as i know mom doesn't do too well when she has to take the "hard" shit. thankfully, she did sleep well and her pain level this morning was down to a 3. the surgeon sent one of his nurses out to the house this morning to check on mom and get a visual of what was going on. i guess the white stuff at the top of her incision was just some fatty tissue that got wet, nothing to worry about. mom's pain level got so high because she did too damn much in a day. walking back and forth from the kitchen to her bedroom a few times and then also to the computer and back. the nurse had to remind her this morning that she shouldn't be even trying to do that much walking until 2 weeks after the surgery. since mom's pain level was down, we didn't have to make the trip to the doctor's office today. thank god. i don't think we have enough drugs here to get mom through that car ride.

she's been more or less in her recliner all day today. they told her to let her incision air out some, as that should help the healing. hopefully she won't have her pain level shoot up any higher again.

i heard from my good friend Debbie last night. i'm amazed that she's still alive. she doesn't know for how much longer and i gave her (more or less) permission to die if she needs to. as i get older, i honestly see why so many people just need out.

a little poetry update... i heard back from Mark at Otoliths on my recent poetry submission. he decided to pass on the 5 i sent. so June is off to a good start; 5 published, 5 rejected. oh well.

the New York Yankees lost last night to Baltimore 10-4. they start a series in Toronto tonight.

i didn't watch much of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final last night. hopefully Nashville figures out a way to win at home.

NXT was really good last night.

thank fucking god Lucha Underground is back. the show last night reminded me why i love professional wrestling.

the internet is going in and out at the moment. this is the reason why i should have never stopped smoking marijuana. i never was stressed out when i was stoned. FUCK.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight.

Game 1 of the NBA Finals finally starts tonight. i really couldn't give a shit who wins, i just want the games to be close.

i actually caught up on some podcasts today.

i listened to the latest Jim Norton & Sam Roberts podcast. you can find that by going here:

that's pretty much all for now. i need to figure out what i'm making for dinner and whether mom is going to eat in her room or saunter out to the kitchen table.

i'm sure at some point i'm just going to be too fucking exhausted to exist any longer. i'll try to give a little warning before that happens.

ready for the storm

ever since i was a child, i have been fascinated with the weather, destruction, violence, etc. knowing that the largest hurricane in over a decade is going to make landfall tonight somewhere in the Southeast... i know i'll be up most of the evening watching the weather. i have some friends down in that part of the country that are hopefully safe. plus, my sister wants to move down there someday, so i'm hoping she pays attention to all of this as well.

i did a little poetry work today. i'll be sending 13 poems out tomorrow, most likely in the morning.

American Horror Story was excellent last night. the show gets a little creepier with each episode.

You're The Worst was great last night. it also showed once again why marijuana should be legal.

Total Bellas was funny, only for one thing. John Cena getting bit on the leg by a dog. i was howling with laughter. of course, he wanted the little fucker put down, which is probably the "real" John Cena. after looking at the house he and Nikki Bella have, my thoughts of him being a douchebag are totally correct.

Lucha Underground was really good last night. the match between Prince Puma and Matanza Cueto was excellent.

NXT was really good as well last night. the 2nd annual Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic started. given the teams in it, it should be amazing once again.

Any Given Wednesday was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Better Things and Fuck, That's Delicious.

the New York Rangers play their final preseason game tonight at home against Philadelphia. the lineup tonight is a bunch of guys on the verge of either making the team or getting sent to the minors. so i expect a great effort tonight from everyone.

i will probably watch some of the football game tonight between Arizona and San Francisco. Arizona's defense is my fantasy defense for one of my teams.

i did listen to the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. it was excellent as usual. Sam interviewed Brie and Nikki Bella.  he had a great take on the rumors surrounding TNA and how Monday Night Raw could be fixed. i highly recommend it. look for it on iTunes, Stitcher, etc.

mom found out today it could be a fucking month before she could get an appointment with a specialist for her back. let's just say she was fucking thrilled to hear that.

i'll probably be on here tomorrow before team USA plays a soccer friendly against Cuba in Cuba. i believe that's the first time they have played there since 1947.

that's all for me kids. sending my best out to all of you in the path of the storm. be safe, stay strong, keep the alcohol ready.

laundry done and the weekend approaching...

i got up this morning after a night of pretty shitty sleeping and decided i had to get my laundry done. i know when i'm running out of good underwear, it's time. thankfully, the storms that were supposed to come have held off, so i was able to get my laundry done without my back hurting too much.

my sister's birthday gift arrived today. thankfully it was in a box that the mailman couldn't stuff into the mailbox. i got myself a shirt with her gift, mostly so i could get the free shipping. plus, i don't find shirts in my size that i actually like that aren't wrestling or music related that often.

Big Brother went pretty much as i expected last night. Victor got voted out and then came right back into the game for the third time. i was a little surprised that Nicole won HOH. of course, James gave it to her. so, i expect the exact same two people that were up last week to be up this week.

Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll was excellent last night. i can't wait to see what happens on the season finale next week.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW and Treehouse Masters.

the New York Yankees start a series with Baltimore tonight. these might as well be playoff games.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts' Show podcast this afternoon. you can find it by going here:
http://notsam.com/srshow/2016/8/26/srshow-sammiversary-part-2

i did see the teams that Manchester United got in the Europa League draw. i don't mind the teams, but i don't like how far they will be traveling though.

i will probably be on here early tomorrow. mom has a chiropractor appointment in the late morning. Manchester United and the Yankees will basically be playing at the same time tomorrow. so, early morning is my best shot at getting this done and enjoying the rest of the day.

i hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. be safe and only fuck the ones that cough.
