absolutely stunned...

 so, i woke up this morning, took my pill that i have to take when i wake up; checked my phone before i took my blood sugar. that was when i first saw the tragic news out of the NHL this morning. i quickly checked a couple different places and i couldn't believe my eyes. Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew were killed last night in New Jersey when they were hit by a drunk driver while they were on their bicycles. as i dug deeper into the story, it got even worse. they were in New Jersey for their sister's wedding as they were both going to be groomsmen. add in that Johnny just had his birthday 16 days ago and Matthew's wife is pregnant, holy fuck. i have been somewhat numb all fucking day after that. 

today was deadline day for Manchester United and all of Europe. United got a few deals done that made me pretty damn happy.

Big Brother was good last night. sadly, Tucker was evicted. Quinn 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, Real Time with Bill Maher and Inside the NFL. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

the Yankees play at home tonight against St. Louis. i really hope they win.

i will probably be on here tomorrow in the morning as WWE Bash in Berlin will be starting at 11 AM.

i need to go figure out dinner tonight, so that's all for me kids.

oh, by the way, i did write 2 poems last night. so, maybe i will get some poems out before September gets here.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

Absolutamente aturdido

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

i am definitely not a morning person...

 i was up at 5:30 this morning. neither mom or i are morning people, so when she has an appointment in the morning, i know i need to be up early to help her. i got her to her appointment nearly exactly on time. thankfully, the dentist didn't have to do as much as he thought, so i only had to get her when she was done. she's currently enjoying the effects of the drugs she got. she told me she felt weird before she went to sleep. i told her to embrace it. i'm going to get her to open her third eye sometime before she dies.

the Yankees lost again last night at Oakland, 3-1. they start a series tonight at the Angels. these are 3 games they need to win.

Big Brother was good last night.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan was excellent last night.

Heels 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 do hope everyone had a great weekend.

i did listen to episode 358 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:

so i had to get gas yesterday and decided i would go get a few other things as well. i found some stuff at Big Lots that Kroger doesn't carry anymore. of course, i went there hoping to find baseball cards. i had to go to Kroger to get gas and mom's pills, so i stopped by the Rite Aid up there. i bought two Fairfield boxes of baseball cards for $9. there was $65 worth of cards in them. i was fucking shocked. there was a rookie card in there that i was stunned to see. plus about 10 cards from hall of famers. that made me pretty damn happy. of course, the Yankees made sure that didn't last.

Manchester United defeated Wolves yesterday, 1-0. they were outplayed for the majority of the match. i would love to see them get some help in the midfield before the deadline is up tomorrow. but, with the victory they set the record for the longest unbeaten streak on the road in the history of English football. 28 games so far. 

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

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the shot.

choking on nostalgia

i have a tendency to keep way too much shit from my past. i have this little box by my bed. when i was a child, it had baseball cards in it. now, it has business cards and scraps of paper from my past. for some damn reason i opened that up last night. there's this little scrap of paper with a child's name on it, weight, date and time of birth. that was one of the last times i ever spoke to probably the woman of my dreams. hard to believe that child is 16 today. at least i hope she is. i haven't had any contact with her mother or her older brother in at least 16 years. i loved that woman so damn much i would have helped raise those kids like they were my own. but, much like most of my life, shit didn't turn out the way i had hoped.

mom made a comment as i was driving her to the eye doctor today, wondering what she would have done if i wasn't around to help her. i didn't say a word, because i was busy thinking about having no one that is going to help me when she dies. it's going to be a painful death (mine, probably not hers) but i hope to make it magical at some point.

the eye appointment went well. everything looks good after surgery and the swelling isn't nearly as bad as they thought it might be. mom thought for sure she was feeling stitches in her eye from the surgery. the doctor told her there wasn't any stitches used. i mentioned to her afterwards that she needs to get out of her own head during this. her anxiety is starting to run her life.

after the appointment, mom wanted to go to this sub place that we used to go to years ago. and by years, i mean when i was a fucking teenager. we got some subs and ate at the restaurant. i don't think i had been inside the place in easily 25 years. the subs still tasted the same. good thing i still like them, since that will be my dinner tonight as well.

the New York Yankees lost the first game of the doubleheader today, 2-1. they are trailing in the second game 4-1 already. hopefully they can come from behind to avoid being swept by Cleveland.

Smackdown was pretty good last night. next week's episode should be really good, given that Shinsuke Nakamura will take on Randy Orton, yet another dream match. winner gets a title shot.

205 Live was pretty good as well. i did like that Enzo Amore cheated to win. perhaps they will actually do something with him down there now.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

Hard Knocks was pretty damn funny last night. i always get a kick out of seeing Tampa lose.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lucha Underground, Mr. Mercedes, Snowfall and Big Brother. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

hard to believe that college football is back.

i think we're supposed to get some rain most of the weekend, so i might end up doing some grocery shopping tomorrow morning.

i'm really happy that Joel Osteen is finally being shown to be the charlatan he truly is. if anyone wonders why i more or less quit Christianity, you can thank that fucking hypocrite.

i can tell if the Yankees lose this second game tonight, i'm going to be a pissy motherfucker for the rest of the evening.

that's all for me kids.

i'll be on here tomorrow long before Ohio State starts their season.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...
