i actually got more than 4 hours of sleep last night. i'm guessing i must have found a slot where my pinched nerve didn't bother me. or, the rye whiskey did the trick.
the New York Rangers won last night at Florida, 5-3. it was the first time all season they had a multi-goal comeback. sure, do it after you are eliminated from playoff contention.
the New York Yankees won last night at home against the Royals, 4-1.
The Voice was excellent last night.
Monday Night Raw was great last night. WrestleMania is this weekend.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be NXT and Dark Side of the Ring.
here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:
so, mom had a doctor's appointment this afternoon. i got her there early. i left early because i knew we were going to be driving past the air show and that's always crazy traffic. so, i knew mom's anxiety was going to be up since she has never seen this doctor before. and after seeing her, i don't think she was that impressed. so, after getting done there, we were going to go to Perkins for lunch. it was packed. so, she decided she wanted to go to Bob Evans. we went to the one closer to our home. that was probably mistake number one. they sat us in a booth, which i hate because as a fat guy, it always feels like i am stuffed in there. mom of course didn't realize we were in a booth until she watched me try to get out of it. of course, it was my fault for not saying anything in the first place. thirdly, i ordered a turkey melt and got a melt without turkey. i was pissed but hungry enough that i just wanted to eat and leave. mom pointed out to our waitress that there was no turkey. the cook fucked up and forgot so he insisted on making me a new one. so, there's dinner tonight. and lastly, they didn't have any of their nutritional guides on hand, so the manager came over and showed me how to find it on my smart phone. what a shit show. and after all that, mom wanted a frozen Coke from Burger King and of course, the machine was defrosting. i drove back the way we came to make sure she smelled the dead skunk again. it's that subtle moment of evil that brings me joy on days like these...
the Yankees played like shit yesterday. 1 fucking hit over 9 innings. what a joke. they lost to Seattle, 4-0. they start a series tonight in Houston. last series before the All-Star break.
here are your highlights from Game 2 of the NBA Finals:
NXT UK was excellent yesterday.
Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Betty and Pete Lee: Tall, Dark, and Pleasant. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on Peacock.
i ordered two packs of baseball cards from Carnival Baseball today. they were super easy to work with once they realized i never i got an order i paid for last year. they went well beyond what i thought they were going to do, so i urge everyone to check them out.
Peru and Colombia play for 3rd place in the Copa America tonight.
i might watch some of battle of Ohio tonight in the MLS, FC Cincinnati vs. Columbus.
i'm going to try to get the blog done in the morning tomorrow. i need to go to Lowe's and get some stuff to try to get a control on these tomatoes. and i think my mother wants to come along and return some shoes to Shoe Carnival that she got but are too big for her. and since i'll be over in that direction, i'll probably stop by Big Lots to see if they have anything i want. i got some coupons today from them.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. the humidity really broke here, so we have had the windows open for most of the day.
until tomorrow kids...

fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.

so, i knew i had a doctor's appointment this morning. i got up and took a shower and made sure i got everything ready to leave on time. the landscaping crew that mom hired was out here at 9 this morning. they did the flower beds a few years ago and most of them turned out great. sadly, the one right in front of the house is nothing but weeds. mom is pissed enough that she wants everything taken out and rocks put in instead.
so, i made it to the doctor's appointment on time. everything went smoothly but what i have noticed with this new doctor is he doesn't draw any blood in office. everything has to go through CompuNet. i get why as doctors are notorious for wanting to bleed the insurance to death... i thought this appointment was to just check my A1C. well, i guess he also wanted a comprehensive metabolic panel done as well. they have a CompuNet right there where the doctor's office is, but they were way too crowded and i didn't feel like waiting. so, i went to the CompuNet at the hospital where my mother went in February. they do appointments, which i was fine with. i got mine for this afternoon. i got there a little early as i haven't used the online shit before. no sooner than i signed in i was going back to get my blood drawn. i was back out in the parking lot 2 minutes before my actual appointment was supposed to start. that made me really happy. of course, i went to Big Lots on the way home looking for baseball cards and they had none. but, i was checking my email earlier and got in on a sale at Topps.com for a value box. good times.
Axios was really good yesterday.
Last Week Tonight was brilliant, as usual.
Batwoman was really good last night.
The Chi was very good last night.
Black Monday was hilarious last night.
Flatbush Misdemeanors was crazy last night.
the finale of Ziwe was fucking great last night.
the Yankees lost to the Phillies yesterday, 7-0. thankfully they are off tonight and start a series tomorrow against the Blue Jays.
i did watch some of the Euro 2020 today and some of the Copa America yesterday. all this international soccer should allow me to catch up on some sleep soon.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs yesterday:

the USWNT defeated Jamaica last night, 4-0.

i did listen to episode 347 of Notsam Wrestling today. you can find that by going here:
so, i was in line at the grocery store today, just finishing putting all my groceries on the belt to be scanned. there was a guy working the cash register and a woman bagging. i looked down for a second and then i heard someone else's voice. apparently, the guy's shift was up and the woman replacing him was my neighbor from across the street that i can't fucking stand. and then to top off this moment, the guy told the woman bagging the groceries it was time for her break. so, in a span of 5 seconds, it felt like i got fucked in the ass and someone else decided to shit down my throat, all at the same time. my back was already killing me, so i managed the pain while bagging. and of course, the couple behind me had to back up when i had to go pay. i'm totally fucking amazed at the number of people that just don't fucking understand social distancing. let's just say, today was one of those days i almost spent as much money on booze as i did food. good times.
i did watch most of that 5 OT game last night between Tampa and Columbus. the fact that the Blue Jackets goalie set the NHL record with 85 saves and they lost... when Tampa scored the winning goal, i just looked at my mother and said that was like a punch to the dick.
the Yankees tried their best to piss away a 8-0 lead yesterday, but held on to beat the Braves, 9-6. hopefully, they will win again tonight.
Portland defeated Orlando 2-1 last night to win the MLS is Back tournament. it was a pretty even game for the most part. i do think the better team won.
Hard Knocks was good last night. it was a little shocking at the beginning when the Chargers coach told his players that he had COVID. i did like what the teams tried to do to keep some social distancing.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother, NXT, AEW and Yusuf Hawkins: Storm Over Brooklyn.
i figure i'll probably watch some NHL and NBA tonight in the commercial breaks.
i'll be on here tomorrow after i take mom to the dentist. the one she had for years retired so she finally found one in town that she thinks she will like.
that's all for me kids. i have a bad back to go ice down.
until tomorrow...

i could feel the storms coming last night. the ache in my bones eventually woke me up at 5:30 this morning. thankfully, i went back to sleep. i don't think 2 hours was going to cut it for today.
the New York Yankees lost yesterday to Tampa in 11 innings, 2-1. so much for first place. hopefully they will win the series this afternoon.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:
i got the winner of The Preakness Stakes right yesterday. one of these days, i'll actually have enough money to bet on the races.
the season finale of Saturday Night Live was good last night.
ROH was really good last night.

i might watch some of the NBA and NHL playoffs today. kind of depends on how i'm feeling and how the weather is.
team USA is currently leading Germany at the hockey World Championships today, 2-1. i will hopefully get this done before that is over.
i guess we're going to try to wait until Memorial Day for a new stove. that's going to be interesting.
i hope your Saturday was good. hopefully, your Sunday will be even better.
i think i'm going to have to start putting alcohol in my morning coffee...
i think the next wave of storms is coming. good times.
until tomorrow kids...
the USA is now leading 3-1.

so i had this major ass to do list today. of course, i didn't get to bed until 5 this morning, so that put a major dent into my plans. 5 hours of shitty sleep later, and the race began. i had some breakfast and got ready to go to the bank and the grocery store for my prescriptions. i told mom that i would take her to the drug store when i got back. thankfully, the weather is really nice today. of course, that meant plenty of fuckers out and about... a Sunday drive on a Wednesday. never fails.
everything went smooth at the bank and grocery store. mom was shockingly ready to go by the time i got home. i guess the injection is working so far (fingers crossed). we found everything she was looking for at the drug store. she wanted some lunch after that so i drove to the local Lee's and got her some chicken.
after lunch, i needed to get my laundry started, get the Yankees game on and write a blog for the day. trying to do 3 things at one time is a little ambitious for me, but i'd rather drive myself crazy than allow the world to do it.
here are your videos for this day of National Poetry Month.
the New York Yankees lost to Detroit last night, 3-1. they are currently tied with Tigers this afternoon.
Smackdown was really good last night. i love how things are going into WrestleMania this year.
Miz & Mrs. was hilarious last night.
205 Live was really good last night.
Deadliest Catch was good last night. the new season looks crazy once again.
The Jim Jefferies Show was excellent last night.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Ottawa. lose for Hughes boys.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after i take mom to her doctor's appointment south of town. always fun when you have to leave a hour early to get to an appointment on time.
hope everyone is doing well and the weather is nice where you are. i have clothes to go fold.

i finally got the 10 poems i wrote typed up last night. i think they are pretty good. i think all of them are going to be included in my next round of submissions. i figured out where the next 29 poems are going to go this morning. that will happen sometime next week.
the grocery store yesterday was a fucking zoo. i waited in line at the pharmacy for 30 fucking minutes. and then the cashier rang up the wrong pills for my mother. she tried to correct her mistake and the register froze on her. she had me move two registers down and she rang it up correctly. i should have known that was a precursor of what was to come. 2 hours later, i was in the Highlander driving back home. thankfully, i got home and got the groceries put away before the USA played Russia.
when Russia got their goal taken away from them yesterday, it seemed like they went flat for almost 2 periods. the USA was up 2-0 before Russia eventually scored. from that, the USA just held on and it worked. the USA defeated Russia 2-1 at the World Juniors and will play Finland tonight for the gold medal. the look on the Russians when they lost was priceless. the joy i will get from thinking of that moment should get me through the year.
the New York Rangers lost in Colorado last night, 6-1. thank god i didn't watch much of the game.
NJPW last night was 3 matches from Wrestle Kingdom 13, which took place earlier in the day in Japan. that was a fun 2 hours of television. i think the broadcasts will get better by using the people actually calling the matches in the arena. kudos to AXS TV for making that switch.
when i woke up this morning, Manchester United was already up 1-0. they eventually won the match over Reading 2-0. another victory, another clean sheet, and advancing in the FA Cup. that's a good start to my Saturday.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be ROH and Austin City Limits.
i will spend most of today watching some college basketball and the start of the NFL playoffs. i know today the Colts play the Texans and the Cowboys play the Seahawks.
i found out today that Instagram deleted my account. they said i violated their terms. i guess it's because i don't have a cell phone and i don't have a Facebook account. oh well.
i will be on here in the morning tomorrow as Dayton plays Richmond tomorrow at noon. i don't think mom is going to the game with me.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

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. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/12/opinion/charlottesville-and-the-bigotocracy.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur

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.
