nothing like going to bed at 5 AM

 so yesterday had a bit of everything in it. the trip to get my mother's pills turned into another grocery store odyssey. i knew we were going to have cheeseburgers for dinner last night, so i knew i needed to get more of those and i figured fuck it, just get what is on the list. and Kroger was busier than shit, but i did get everything on the list. hopefully, that means there will be less on the list on Wednesday.

WWE Money in the Bank was spectacular last night. other than the stream being fucked up on Peacock right as the men's match was getting ready to start, i thought the whole show was great.

the Yankees beat the Red Sox last night, 9-1. they took 2 out of 3 in the series. at least that's a start. they are off tonight and start a series at home tomorrow with the Phillies.

the USMNT defeated Canada yesterday, 1-0, to win the group at the Gold Cup. they scored 20 seconds into the game and then just held the fuck on for the rest. i really hope they don't think this is a recipe for success going forward in this tournament.

Big Brother was good last night. hopefully, this will be Frenchie's last week in the house.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan was excellent last night.

The White Lotus was really good last night.

The Chi was great last night. just two episodes remain for this season.

Black Monday was fucking crazy last night.

Flatbush Misdemeanors was pretty funny last night.

Desus & Mero was great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i did listen to episode 352 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:

my order of football cards arrived today from Panini. i'll open those up after i get out of the shower.

and now that you are thinking of me naked... i'm getting the itch to do another SoundCloud recording here soon. if any musicians or other poets want to remix or collaborate on some of this shit, i'd love to. i'm really down for anything creative these days.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

and here comes the tornadoes...

 so, last night, mom and i moved the plants on the back porch to up against the house, hoping that would save them from getting too damaged. it worked this morning when he had some storms roll through. tonight, it will be the chance for tornadoes and hail. oh joy.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

The United States of Al was pretty funny last night. the season finale is next week.

Clarice was excellent last night. that season finale is next week as well.

both episodes of Holey Moley last night were fucking crazy.

the Yankees turned a crazy triple play last night (1-3-6-2-5-6) and swept the Blue Jays 8-4. they start a series tonight at home against Oakland.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

i did watch all of the Euro 2020 games today. i was shocked that England and Scotland ended up 0-0. 

i did watch Brazil win last night over Peru 4-0 at the Copa America. i can't wait to watch Argentina vs. Uruguay tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW, Pause with Sam Jay, Real Time with Bill Maher and Betty. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on Peacock.

so far, all the storms this evening have been to the north. the guy who cuts our yard got the grass cut in the window this afternoon where it wasn't raining. and now that i have a cell phone, i know exactly how far all the shit is away from me. we just had a lightning strike 3.7 miles away. good times.

so, weather permitting, i will probably watch some of the NHL and NBA playoffs tonight.

i will probably be on here tomorrow in the early afternoon, sometime after Portugal plays Germany.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

do yourself a favor, and go buy some music on Bandcamp tonight...

a little poetry news and a few other musings...

i finally got my hands on a copy of Open Wide Magazine #25 (ISSN 1746-4390). it was published last year i believe. i have three poems in the issue, "across four lanes of traffic", "after sex talk", and "trying to sneak a peek". also in the issue include work from Debbie Kirk, John Sweet, William Taylor Jr., Nathan Graziano, R.C. Edrington, Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal, Dan Provost, justin.barrett and Glenn W. Cooper just to name a few. you can purchase a copy of the issue here. for back issues of Open Wide, go here http://www.openwidemagazine.co.uk/owmissues.htm.

i watched the Champions League draw today and got a chuckle. i can just hear all the conspiracy theories running around, just like last year, that Manchester United got an easy draw, blah blah blah. same shit was said last year and they couldn't make it out of the group stage. well, Sir Alex has vowed to play all the best guys for all the games this time around. so, if they have learned their lesson well, they should win the group stage pretty damn easy. and they will need to if they want to avoid Barcelona in the next round. i got a bigger chuckle when i saw that Manchester City was placed in the group of death. serves the little blue fuckers right. hopefully they have their asses handed to them repeatedly in the group stage. seeing they are playing 3 other champions, there's a good chance of it happening.

the shock of the day was seeing Iniesta beat out Messi and CR7 to win the best player in Europe. fucking please. there's no doubt he's a great player, but better than the 2 best players in the world. no fucking chance in hell. i can only figure the tipping point was he played for a Spain team that won their 3rd straight major championship. it must have been since Barcelona last year didn't win La Liga or the Champions League. so he wins the award because he happens to play with 10 other great players born in the same country. what a fucking joke.

lastly, tomorrow morning i will wake up to the results of the first fantasy draft of the new NFL season. my fingers will be crossed, hoping for the best. and hoping for a season where my first pick doesn't get injured in the first week, like last year. damn you shitty turf and weak knees.

until we meet again my friends...
