i hate losing more than i love winning...

 i am a very competitive person. and now that sports gambling is legal, i can put my money where my mouth is. now, i don't have fuck you money to gamble with, but i also stay true to the golden rule... only gamble what you are willing to lose. i did get the national title game last night between Florida and Houston right. i won two different groups on ESPN.com with that bracket. i went 47-16 in the tournament. that is my best record in years. apparently, putting money on it makes me a little more intense on getting shit right. that might be the only thing i worry about with my sports gambling. i am a perfectionist at heart. 

the Yankees lost yesterday at Detroit, 6-2. i did watch some of the game, especially when they were playing in the snow. they play again this afternoon.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Tampa Bay, 5-1. 

The Voice was very good last night.

Monday Night Raw was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, St. Denis Medical and Dark Side of the Ring.

mom's doctor appointment yesterday went well. she chose to get physical therapy on her knees. that will start on Thursday. she thought she had an appointment today. we listened to the call again and it was for her to reschedule the appointment she had today. that will now be on next Monday. 

here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

i should be on here tomorrow before i go grocery shopping.

i'll flip this afternoon between baseball and the champions league, hoping for a nap.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

i am done with people...

 the more i think of it, the more i have come to the conclusion that i am not of this earth. if asking for competence is too much for this world, i seriously need to just become a hermit and never leave the home again. 

so, last week i was on Kroger's website and started the process of transferring my prescriptions from the Rite Aid in Brookville to Kroger. i called today to see what was up because none of my prescriptions were showing up at the Kroger website. the guy i was speaking to in the pharmacy told me that no transfers can be done on the website, you have to talk to a person to do that. so, instead of going the fuck off on him and asking why the fuck there is an option for it on the website if it doesn't fucking work, i told him i needed my prescriptions moved over since the Rite Aid in Brookville will be closing. mind you, i run out of Gabapentin by tomorrow. so yeah, i'm not fucking happy.

i popped in a weed gummy this afternoon and it started to hail. i could hear it banging on the roof. just great.

the Yankees pissed away a great comeback victory yesterday at Baltimore, losing 6-5. they are 1 game behind Baltimore in the AL East standings at the All Star break.

Euro 2024 yesterday was good. Spain defeated England, 2-1.

the Copa America was nuts last night. kickoff was delayed over 2 hours because the stadium wasn't expecting a ton of people with no tickets to actually try to get into the building. i suppose no one in America actually knows or dares to understand what happens at these events in South America. as for the game, Argentina defeated Colombia, 1-0 in extra time. 

i did get to the bank today before the storms hit. i also went to Big Lots to see if they had any baseball cards. no luck at that one today.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Name That Tune and WWE Monday Night Raw.

a big thank you to everyone that has checked out my latest published poems:

i will probably check out some of the Home Run Derby tonight.

i should be on here in the afternoon tomorrow.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

one of those days where a little cocaine would have come in handy...

 i'm thinking of the Tyler Childers line about a little cocaine when the wind cut cold... fuck, it felt like winter today. and the wind was fierce. blew over my fucking recycling container. i just put the shit back in it and put it back in the garage. i wasn't going to babysit it until they came in the afternoon. at least it will be full next week. grocery shopping was tedious today. thankfully, nothing blew away as i was trying to load groceries in the Highlander. got everything on the list and kept it under $200. good times.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Winnipeg, 4-2. it is beyond obvious that the Rangers will need to be healthy when they play in the playoffs if they want to make a deep run. and, please play Matt Rempe. there is no point to having him watch from the press box when he isn't suspended.

i did watch a good portion of the first game last night in the First Four. Virginia game me no damn reason to watch the second game.

NXT was really good last night.

Shogun was great last night.

The Voice was good last night.

Dark Side of the Ring was really good last night. Terry Gordy was one of my favorites growing up.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, AEW Rampage, Abbott Elementary and The Masked Singer.

i will probably watch some of the First Four tonight.

i am going to try to be on here tomorrow after my doctor's appointment. and i will hopefully get that done before Dayton plays Nevada in the first round of the NCAA tournament. if that doesn't all time out well, it will be a really late blog as the USMNT plays tomorrow night as well.

i need to ice my back down and get going on dinner.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

some rain before the heat comes back...

 it has been on and off rain today. this is supposed to be the last rain we get before it goes back into the 90's for the next few days. joy.

the Yankees lost last night at Atlanta, 2-0. thank god they are off tonight. they start a series at home against Boston tomorrow night.

AEW Dynamite was pretty good last night.

Big Brother was good last night. i think Reilly will be evicted tonight. of course, since there is a NFL game tonight on CBS, i won't see the show until 1 in the morning.

i did do some poetry work last night. i have a pretty good feeling where my next 16 poems are going to be submitted to. if all goes well, that batch of poems will be going out tomorrow afternoon.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, NJPW and What We Do in the Shadows.

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

i know it won't be until i have all the poems sent out. so yeah...

finally, a good start to a Sunday...

 so, i got what i guess i can call some decent sleep last night. my arms weren't killing me the entire time. and i got what i needed to get done this morning (put the dishes away, make coffee) in time to watch Manchester United play at Leeds.

when United went up 2-0 by halftime, i was pretty pleased. of course, by 10 minutes into the second half, it was 2-2. thankfully, Fred of all people scored the game winner. Anthony Elanga added in the insurance and United won 4-2.

the Dayton Flyers won yesterday at Saint Joseph's, 74-62.

Celebrity Big Brother was just some of the never before seen moments from this season last night. the season will thankfully be over on Wednesday.

WWE Elimination Chamber was pretty good yesterday. my hunch was correct, as i figured one of the main events of WrestleMania would be Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns, title vs. title. i didn't see the Bobby Lashley injury angle coming, but it makes sense. 

NBA Saturday Night was good for the most part. the dunk contest sort of dragged on, mostly because i think most of the guys were trying to do dunks they can't do. at least Obi Toppin did dunks he knew he could make. and he won, finally.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Celebrity Big Brother, Power Book IV: Force, Billions, Euphoria, The Righteous Gemstones, Somebody Somewhere and Last Week Tonight.

the Daytona 500 is today. i will probably watch a little of that.

the USWNT takes on New Zealand today in their second game of the SheBelieves Cup.

the New York Rangers play today at Ottawa. this is a game the Rangers need to win.

the NBA All-Star game is tonight. i might watch some of that.

i should be on here tomorrow after mom has her physical therapy session.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

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

today was a bit crazy to say the least...

 so, i decided to get the grocery shopping done today. the first part of my trip was pretty easy. i went to Rite-Aid and found everything mom needed and i got myself some baseball cards. after that, i went to the local grocery store around the corner from Rite-Aid and found pretty much everything i needed from there. after i took all that home, i had to go make a deposit at the bank and then head to Kroger to get the rest of the groceries. well, the bank up near Kroger was closed for some fucking reason. so, i had to drive back to the bank i normally go to and sit for 20 minutes in the drive-thru lane. eventually, i got the deposit made and headed back to Kroger. by this time, mom had texted me to let me know her prescription was ready and she completely forgot to put all the shit on the list for New Year's (black eyed peas, sauerkraut, collard greens, pork). thankfully, i did find everything on the list at Kroger. 

by the time i got home, i had missed most of the first period of the USA vs. Czech Republic at the World Juniors. thankfully, i did get to see most of the goals the USA scored today. they defeated the Czech Republic 7-0. they will next play Sweden on New Year's Eve.

Manchester United won today over Wolves, 1-0. it took them forever to score, but Marcus Rashford scored in the 93rd minute to give them all 3 points. that put them into second place in the Premier League.

Monday Night Raw was fucking crazy last night. i guess they are doing what the USA Network wanted. they asked for edgier programming. ending the show with another near murder i guess is what they asked for.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight. so, i will probably be flipping between some college football, college basketball, the World Juniors and lord knows what else.

i will probably have to go back to the grocery store tomorrow to get my pills that weren't ready today. i should be on here when i get back home, hopefully before Dayton plays tomorrow night.

i am really fucking late on getting the trash picked up here and next door. and i need to make dinner as well.

i did get some decent baseball cards today. the best in the 2020 Topps Update pack was the Javier Baez short print and the Bo Bichette Turkey Red rookie card. as for the Fairfield box i got, easily the best card was the 1989 Donruss Randy Johnson rookie card.

that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

shopping in the heat... joy

so, mom wanted to go out shopping this afternoon for some new shoes. it was a hot and muggy afternoon, so i was interested to see how this would go. she did find some new shoes for a good price. i did laugh at her glasses fogging up all the time with her mask on. i have worn mine enough that it doesn't happen as much now. after that, we went to lunch at Perkins. it was our first time there since the pandemic started. the menu is way less than before. i thought all the safety precautions looked pretty good. i had a 20% off coupon we used. i could tell by the end of lunch mom was getting tired. the heat was getting to her. so, that ended our day. it won't be a big dinner tonight, that's for sure.

Black Monday was hilarious last night.

The Chi was excellent last night.

the season finale of Penny Dreadful: City of Angels was great last night.

Hightown was good last night. i believe that season finale is in two weeks.

Perry Mason was really fucking good last night.

I'll Be Gone in the Dark was perfect last night. i'm really going to love this one.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Fuck That's Delicious and I May Destroy You. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
