and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, on the way home from getting the grocery shopping done, there was some construction work going on. so i had to take a detour, which i didn't mind. i have lived in this county my entire life, i know my way around. i got behind this old lady who i guess was somewhere between 68-81, too old to be fucking driving in my opinion, and she started to go down the wrong way onto interstate 70. i honked my horn and at the top of my lungs screamed, you're going the wrong fucking way. she looked back at me and then looked at the semi that was coming up the exit ramp. now, i don't know what happened next as i had shit that i had to get home in this fucking heat. but, i haven't heard anything about an accident so i'm guessing i did my good deed for the day.
i about shit my pants when i picked up my prescription from Rite Aid today. the last two times i got my Trulicity shots, they were $25. today, $408. well, that was a punch to the dick i wasn't expecting.
i did get everything on the grocery list. thankfully, the bill at Kroger was only $100.
the Yankees won last night over Toronto, 6-5. Aaron Judge had his first walk off home run to win the game. this afternoon, Gleyber Torres drove in all 5 runs and the Yankees swept the 2 game series against Toronto, 5-3. the Yankees are now 22-8 on the season. that is their best start since 2003. they start a series in Chicago tomorrow night against the White Sox.

Manchester United U18 team won the FA Youth Cup today. so, maybe there is some hope with the kids.
i should be on here in the morning tomorrow. mom has a late physical therapy appointment tomorrow, so i want to get the blog done before i have to take her to that.
i need to get ready for the Rangers game tonight and to cook dinner. i think i am going to make some burgers tonight. at least, that is the plan for now.

and by hate, i mean it curdles my fucking blood and drives me insane. so, you can imagine what i felt when Manchester United lost today, 2-1. i knew it was going to be a tough game, mostly because United had no choice but to change 10 players from the last lineup. they have a little game on Thursday against Liverpool. so, i figured Leicester was going to run the game for the most part. when United scored 5 minutes after Leicester scored, i was hoping i would be wrong. it was pretty even at the start of the second half and then United's manager forgot one of the most basic rules of the game. you never make fucking substitutions on a corner kick. he did and sure enough, there goes the second goal. now, in the grand scheme of things, i am pissed that this means Manchester City wins the title. of course, that was going to happen regardless. as long as United wins on Thursday, in the long run, the loss might be a good thing. mostly because it means Liverpool might not play any European football next season at all. that would be fucking glorious.
The Voice was pretty good last night. i love the live shows. i have no clue who gets cut tonight.
Monday Night Raw was good last night, but didn't exactly make me really yearn for Backlash this weekend.
Miz and Mrs was hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Deadliest Catch, the season finale of Mayans M.C., NXT and The Voice.
the Yankees start a series tonight down in that dump down in Tampa. Luke Voit is back from injury finally. hopefully the lineup starts to consistently produce.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
i need to pickup the trash here and next door, so that's all for me kids.
until tomorrow...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.

i guess we're still in fucking winter... a couple more nights of cold ass weather and then it's supposed to be in the 70's for the weekend. that's the beauty of Ohio... wait a few days and everyone will be fucking sick.
i thought Mother's Day went pretty well. my sister stayed later than i thought she was going to. i think the storms that rolled through was the reason for that. i think mom enjoyed her gifts and lunch.
WWE Money in the Bank was pretty good last night. i love that Otis and Asuka won the briefcases.
Batwoman was really good last night. the season finale is next week.
I Know This Much Is True was fucking amazing last night. Mark Ruffalo is truly brilliant in this.
Insecure was excellent last night.
Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.
VICE was really good last night.
Billions was great last night.
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels was good last night.
both episodes of The Last Dance were great last night.
the Feeding America Comedy Festival was awful last night. i wanted it to be good but there wasn't much funny in the 2 hours at all. i'm talking maybe 4 to 5 minutes total that i laughed at.
the Saturday Night Live Mother's Day special was hilarious.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice, Songland, Fuck That's Delicious and Desus & Mero. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
the phone rang at like 8 this morning. then again around 9:30. i looked at the clock and said fuck it. i guess 4 hours was all the sleep i was going to get.
the New York Yankees won last night in Tampa, 4-3. they are now 1/2 game out of first place in the division. hopefully, they will win again tonight.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:
NJPW was really good last night.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men was great last night.
Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas was excellent last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher last night was hilarious.

i did write that poem that was stuck in my head last night. i'll type that out here in a bit.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays its final match of the season, thankfully.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

i was actually able to sleep in my own bed last night and not cough myself awake every couple minutes. i got close to 6 hours of sleep. i've only had a few coughing fits today, so i want to believe the worst is over. so that means i'm going to be busy as fuck this weekend catching up on everything; mostly poems and laundry.
the grocery store was really picked over by the time mom and i got there. hell, i had to go to the smaller grocery store in town to get my bread. and they are still moving shit all around at the main grocery store we go to. i had the whole fucking store memorized and now it's changed. i figure once i get that down, they'll change it again. the fuckers.
the New York Yankees lost last night to Boston, 5-4. they were down 4-0 and came back to tie the game. of course, Aaron Boone made the mistake of allowing Betances to go out for his second inning of work and he gave up the winning run. oh well. the Yankees did win the series against Boston and are still tied for first place in the division. they start a series at home tonight against Oakland.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
the season finale of The Big Bang Theory was excellent last night.
the season finale of Young Sheldon was very good last night.
Gotham was fucking amazing last night. the ending certainly set up what should be a very entertaining season finale next week.
the season finale of Atlanta was great last night.
here are your highlights from Game 7 last night between Nashville and Winnipeg:

on the DVR tonight will be VICE, NJPW, Major League Wrestling, Real Time with Bill Maher, Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas and Kevin Smith: Silent But Deadly.
i'll probably watch some of the NHL playoffs tonight. Game 1 between Tampa and Washington should be a good one.
the pollen count here lately has been off the fucking charts. that certainly isn't helping me fight this fucking cold. i think that's why it has taken me so long. at least that's the theory i'm going with.
my sister is coming down tomorrow to spend most of the weekend here for Mother's Day. i guess i should get the rest of what i'm giving mom ready.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. i'll probably be on here early tomorrow. i will probably spend a good portion of tonight and early tomorrow sending out poems.
that's all for me kids.

before i go on about Manchester United, a little poetry news first...
i sent out 24 poems today; 3 to Full of Crow, 6 to ZYX and 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Section 8 Magazine and Misfit Magazine. when i hear back from these places i will pass on the verdicts.
i did hear back from Alan at Misfit Magazine. they are in a bit of a holding pattern at the moment and wants me to send again in July.
Manchester United knew all they needed was a draw today to advance to the Europa League final. sadly, that's how they played as well. sometimes they were great but as usual, never clinical. and the rest of the time they simply sat back and gave away chance after chance. thank god Celta Vigo couldn't hit the broadside of a barn for most of the match. now, the red cards late really pissed me off and i do hope that the red card Eric Bailly picked up gets rescinded. i figure it won't, but i can dream i suppose. United will play Ajax in the Europa League final. a win is the only way United can make the Champions League next season.
NXT was really good last night. the upcoming Takeover event in Chicago should be great.
the season finale of Total Divas was actually pretty damn good last night. i think i could watch Lana and Naomi dance forever.
i did watch a little of both Game 7's last night. i was not shocked at all by Washington losing at home and i'm sure the league is happy that Anaheim beat Edmonton.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lip Sync Battle, the season finale of The Big Bang Theory and the season finale of Life in Pieces.
the New York Yankees start a series tonight at home against Houston. this is the weekend they will retire Derek Jeter's number 2.
i have to take mom tomorrow to get her blood work done again for her upcoming surgery.
i believe a cold front moved through overnight, as i tossed and fucking turned all night long. not exactly the kind of sleep i wanted going into a day i knew i would be sending out some poems. i'd like to think i do my best work when i'm feeling my best. of course, if that was true, my work has been shit for the last few years. no comments from the peanut gallery please.
i sent out 12 poems today; 6 to ZYX and 3 each to Dead Snakes and In Between Hangovers. i'll post the verdicts when i hear back from these places.
the New York Yankees pissed away lead after lead last night. thankfully, they are finally starting to show some heart and some fucking resolve. they battled back each time and eventually won 10-7. they will go for another series win in the game tonight.
The Voice is now at the point of the season where everyone left is talented enough to win the whole thing. of course, that wouldn't have been the case if Nick would have stayed last night.
there are now 8 left in the competition. i could see 6 of them winning the whole thing.
Deadliest Catch was pretty damn interesting last night.
i did catch the overtime of the Capitals vs. Penguins last night. i laughed when Pittsburgh scored to eliminate Washington. i have to think that Ovechkin knows at this point he's never going to win it all in Washington. perhaps they trade him to a certain team in New York that they once traded Jagr to. just a thought. the Penguins will now play Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference Final. i'll only watch because there are ex-Rangers on each team.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Lucha Underground. i'll watch NXT and some other shit on WWE Network tonight. also, i'll flip between some baseball and a Game 7 in the NHL.
i had an interesting talk at the post office today. i wasn't expecting the person behind the counter to tell me about her drug problem. her eyes got a little wide when i told her my pain tolerance is such that i can take 3 Percocets and they won't even phase me. i told her i'm not going to become an addict just so i don't feel pain. i was about to explain my theory on finding the pleasure in the pain but an old lady walked in. but i imagine the poems are going to get interesting.
today has been one of those days where the arthritis has won most of the day. when the body aches just sitting, you know it's a no win situation.
i listened to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. i highly recommend checking out his interview with EC3. it's a must listen.
that's all for me kids. i hope there's a little sunshine where you live.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
to say i was a little jacked up for the New York Rangers game last night would be a great understatement. i was completely fucking wired for the game. thankfully, 40 seconds in, this happens:
The King was once again, The King:
a little more first period magic:
eventually, the Rangers got the lead up to 4-1 (holy shit, Rick Nash scored!). i felt pretty confident they weren't going to be able to score 4 more goals on The King. of course, the Rangers are apparently only allowed to play 1 goal games, so Washington did score 2 more to make it 4-3. but, that was where the game stayed. there will be a Game 7 on Wednesday. the same date as the last two Game 7 victories for the Rangers. the Capitals have already guaranteed they are going to win the game. i guess they don't understand the Rangers record at home when facing elimination or what The King's record is in Game 7's. i can't wait for Wednesday to get here. here are some highlights from the game:
at least i know i'm not the only one who goes nuts during these games:
on top of that wonderful game, the New York Yankees got a masterful pitching performance from Michael Pineda yesterday. 16 strikeouts in just 7 innings. the best one though, no fucking walks. he's truly the ace now:
the Yankees won 6-2. they took 3 out of 4 against Baltimore. now, it's back down to that dump in Tampa.
after those two victory beers, i decided to catch up on the shows i missed. i mixed in a few hours of sleep as well before i finished up this morning. Nurse Jackie was really good. not sure how they are going to finish up this series just yet. Happyish was fucking brilliant. Silicon Valley was great once again. Veep was great also. Penny Dreadful was very dark and beautiful at the same time. one of the best shows EVER. and finally, Last Week Tonight once again was truly fucking brilliant:
tonight on the DVR will be the semi-finals of The Voice and Men in Blazers. i'll be flipping between the baseball game and Monday Night Raw for most of the night.
of course, we're under a tornado watch at the moment, so everything is subject to change.
i've got a few ideas for some new YouTube videos in my head. it truly all depends if the new solar lights we got work the way they are supposed to. i also have a few poems swimming around up here as well.
i think mom and i are going to head over to the farm later today, weather permitting. mostly to see if the cats are still alive or have they all run away. i'm truly hoping i don't find any dead ones.
that's all for me today. hope everyone had a great weekend. hopefully all the mothers out there had a great Sunday. if not, let's just hope your children haven't had any children of their own.

knock on wood about a thousand times, but it looks like the shitty (pun intended) health i had for the last 48 hours has finally passed on. yesterday evening i finally started to feel better and could eat without racing to the toilet within seconds. hopefully, it was just a bug that i had. and hopefully something i don't get again for a long time.
the Yankees lost last night 5-4. CC struggled which sadly is the norm now. they came back to tie the score but committed the baseball sin of giving up runs right after you score. when that happens, nine times out of ten, the baseball gods will rule against you. oh well. they play again this afternoon in the rubber match of the series.
Saturday Night Live was a bit flat for me last night. there was a couple of really funny moments but nothing that was holy shit, that was funny. i'm actually amazed i stayed up for all of it.
ROH was excellent last night. you can never go wrong anytime Kevin Steen and The Briscoes are involved.
Manchester United drew 1-1 today with Southampton. not sure why they started so badly today, but United played much better in the second half. they couldn't finish worth a shit today. Juan Mata had a beautiful free kick that tied the score. thankfully, this season is over and there will be no European football at Old Trafford next season for the first time in a quarter century. hopefully they hire the right man for the rebuilding job.
tonight will be utter chaos for me. the New York Rangers play a MUST WIN game 6. somehow, after that i'm going to try to fit in the normal Sunday night shows with the addition of the show i am really looking forward to, Penny Dreadful. i have high hopes for that one. if i do pull this off, i'll be up until about 4 in the morning. lovely. that's the joy of DIRECTV, i get all the west coast feeds of HBO and Showtime.
hope everyone is having a wonderful Mother's Day. that is all for me today as i believe i'm going to try to nap most of the afternoon. my mother seemed to enjoy what i got her. or at least she acted like she did. i'll be on tomorrow in the afternoon i suppose.

my cousin asked me to make him a mix cd like i did for his nephew. seeing that i feel like i now know how to use iTunes correctly, today became a lesson in torture. i got the cd out of the way and then proceeded to find all these old songs that reminded me of past girlfriends. talk about a few hours of misery.
i did watch The Big Bang Theory last night. i laughed at the end because i remember doing plenty of great shit for my girlfriends and i got absolutely nothing in return. and by nothing, i mean nothing. i can't imagine why i'm old and bitter.
i must have been in just enough pain after doing the dishes last night that i sat back in my easy chair and next thing i know it is 1 in the morning. thankfully, i was able to fall back asleep rather easily. not exactly used to getting more than 6 hours of sleep. almost felt tired this morning. almost.
the sun has been out all day long. amazingly, it did hit the 50's. so, the snow is slowly turning to mud. my mother realized that when she got out to open the back to unload the groceries. just enough mud to make a fucking disaster inside the house. fun.
the New York Rangers play tonight in Carolina. i'm not going to say it is a must win, but it is pretty damn close to one. they really need the 2 points tonight. i believe they are back to a fully healthy lineup, so that should help. of course, it would also help if Hank gets a few huge stops early and is really on his game.
i suppose after that i'll be hopefully enjoying a victory beer either watching the tree house show or perhaps some basketball.
early tomorrow morning, Manchester United plays. so i will be getting to sleep early tonight. well, early for me. i'll be on here tomorrow after the game, hopefully not bitterly pissed off. if they lose tomorrow, that anger will take me right into the basketball game tomorrow night. i found out they are also doing the hall of fame ceremony tomorrow night at halftime. one of my favorite players ever at Dayton, Keith Waleskowski, is going in. i wear my emotions on my sleeve, so i'll have a tear in my eyes. never mind the fact it will also be Senior Night as well. hopefully they go out with a win.
i spent so much time on iTunes today, i damn near forgot to eat lunch and take my nerve pill. my love for music is quickly entering the disease stage. i suppose that's one of the better ones to have.
hope everyone has a great weekend. be well, be creative, be naughty, be productive, be evil, be better than the piece of shit next to you at the store.

the sun came out today. most of the snow has melted. i have noticed as i have grown older it's the little things that tend to bring me the most joy. and somewhere the evil side of me is now making a penis joke.
last night the New York Rangers looked like the team i absolutely loved last season, destroying Philly 5-2. very fun to watch, as most of the goals were scored by guys on my fantasy team.
i was even happier about team USA's 0-0 draw against Mexico. a HUGE point to get on the road in World Cup Qualifying. the nightmare start of the qualifying round is over and i do believe this team has found an identity. hopefully the good play continues.

made my picks for the Sweet 16 this morning. i have been so off this tournament, i will be shocked if the 8 teams i picked will win.
not sure what i'll be watching on tv tonight. i suppose i should be getting myself ready for baseball season and the nightly ritual that becomes.
i did enjoy night two of The Voice. looks like this season will be just as good or better than the previous three.
flirting with the idea of breaking out the watercolors one of these days and letting my imagination out to play. not that i'm any good at painting or anything, i just find it's helpful to keep the creative juices flowing. and here we go finishing off with yet another place for a penis joke.
