hurry up and wait...

 so, i had to go to the bank today and to Kroger to get my pills. the bank took forever. i think they had one woman working the inside and drive-thru. so, by the time i left there and got to Kroger, the pharmacy was on their lunch break. so, i decided i might as well try to remember what was on the grocery list and get it done while they were on break. i got everything i could remember (it was all but 2 items that i forgot) and then got it line at the pharmacy. checkout for the groceries was very interesting. the register wasn't taking off the right amounts on certain things. i will give the lady running it credit, she was on it. thankfully, what i got cost less than $100, and that includes my pills. 


the New York Rangers won last night at home against Nashville, 4-0. they play tonight at home against the Islanders. the Rangers are 2 points out of a playoff spot.



both episodes of The Americas last night were excellent.



The White Lotus was great last night.



Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.


Yellowjackets last night was fucking crazy.

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice. i'll watch Monday Night Raw sometime tonight on Netflix.


i just downloaded the Telegram app for my phone. i imagine nothing but chaos. but, since i will have a new book out soon, i know i have to whore it around.


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

at least the humidity went away...

 i was actually able to open up the house today. a nice cool breeze this morning was flowing through. i got some more horrible sleep. sadly, i am used to it. i did get the house vacuumed today. that took a toll on my back. i was hoping a really good shower would help that. it didn't.


the Yankees won again last night, 8-5, at home against the Twins. the only thing that ruined the victory was the injury to Juan Soto. turns out it is just some elbow inflammation he has been dealing with for the last 10 days or so. so, a few days off and he will (hopefully) be fine. they start a series tonight at home against the Dodgers.





here are your highlights from Game 1 of the NBA Finals:



I Can See Your Voice was very good last night.

from rain to snow...

 i didn't sleep well last night. i took a shower and fell asleep a little after 3 AM. first time i saw the clock it was a little after 6. fuck me. i think i took naps of 20 to 35 minutes until i finally got out of bed around 9. the weather guy on the news last night said that the rainy and snowy weather will be over soon. there is a light at the end of this. i said yeah, it's a fucking train.


Monday Night Raw was very good last night. i feel bad for CM Punk. but, i do love all the possibilities his injury has now set up for WrestleMania.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at home against George Washington. hopefully, they will win tonight.

i think we're only supposed to get an inch of snow, so i'm hoping it won't be a mess tomorrow on the roads and in the parking lots.

let the madness begin...

 so, the year i don't get tickets to the First Four at UD Arena, Indiana, Notre Dame and Wright State are all playing there. fuck me. i was totally fucking shocked last night when it was revealed that Dayton was the first team left out of the big dance. since Davidson didn't win over Richmond, it meant that Richmond basically took Dayton's spot in the tournament. that was a punch to the dick. Dayton is a 1 seed in the NIT. i personally couldn't give two shits about that tournament, but of course everyone involved with Dayton holds it in high regard since it reminds all the old fucks about the glory days in the 50's and 60's. i have Gonzaga winning it all, beating Kansas in the finals. so much parody this season, i won't be shocked if i am completely wrong.




Billions was excellent last night.


Super Pumped: The Battle for UBER was really good last night.



Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.


Game Theory with Bomani Jones was excellent last night.



Power Book IV: Force was really good last night.



Shining Vale was fucking hilarious last night.



enjoy some music:





and now some of this and that:










on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw and Better Things.


i did listen to episode 386 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can listen to that by going here:



NFL free agency started today. i'm hoping the New Orleans Saints get the right QB, especially with that piece of fucking shit Tom Brady coming back to Tampa Bay after retiring a month ago. 


the New York Yankees made a trade last night that shocked the shit out of me.



i have to take mom to her physical therapy this afternoon. i'm hoping to get a few poems written while i am there.


tomorrow is going to be a little nuts. i have to take mom in the morning to get her injection for her back. she desperately needs that. and then in the afternoon, i have to take her to the doctor that treated her skin cancer to see what he thinks about how her lip is healing. i think it looks much, much better than before. so, i'm hoping he gives the all clear and she will be done with that for now.


i hope everyone had a great weekend.


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


until then...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck Putin.


fuck the police.

not how i wanted to start my weekend...

 so, like the devoted fan i am, i got up at 7:15 this morning to watch Manchester United. i went to bed a little after 3 in the morning. 4 hours more or less, ok, let's go. and much like the last game, Manchester United got up 1-0 from a Jadon Sancho goal. and just like the last game, a few minutes into the second half, United pissed away that lead. and i guess this is the new normal. United and Southampton finished 1-1. honestly, i don't think United wants to finish in the top 4. so fucking frustrating to watch.






team USA men's hockey team defeated Canada for the first time in 12 years at the Olympics last night, 4-2. i didn't see that one coming.



Celebrity Big Brother was pretty funny last night.


Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.







AEW Rampage was excellent last night.



Real Time with Bill Maher was very funny last night.





enjoy some music:







and now some of this and that:









nothing on the DVR tonight. i suppose i'll flip between the Olympics and college basketball.


the Dayton Flyers play at home this afternoon against George Washington. i believe the game is on ESPN+. it snowed here this morning. you add that with my Manchester United frustration and i think i'll watch the game at home today.


i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow, long before the Super Bowl starts. 


i told my mother last night if the Bengals win the Super Bowl, i'll be interested to see how many drunks fall into the Ohio river while celebrating.


i hope everyone has a great Saturday.


until tomorrow kids...

dos a cero

 so, i went into the USA vs. Mexico match last night with high hopes. after the first half, one where Mexico really carried the play, i was hoping the USA would come out on fire. thankfully, they did. they pressed Mexico for most of the second half. and then came on Captain America, Christian Pulisic. about 5 minutes after he came on, he scored. Weston McKinnie got the second goal, and once again, dos a cero was being chanted in the state of Ohio. the USA won the match, 2-0. they are now halfway through World Cup qualifying and they are in first place. the boys are quickly becoming men. 









Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.







AEW Rampage was good last night.


Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.






Back on the Record with Bob Costas was good last night.




here are your NBA highlights from last night:



enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live.


so, my afternoon clusterfuck goes like this. Ohio State plays at 3:30. the Dayton Flyers play at 6. and the New York Rangers play at 7. the doors for the Dayton game will be opening at 4:30. i'll be leaving the house around that time. so, i'm thinking at best, i'll get the see a little of the Ohio State game and the end of the Rangers game.


Ohio State plays at home today against Purdue. Ohio State should know, given the teams Purdue has upset this season, they need to play great today to win.



the Dayton Flyers host UMass Lowell tonight. i'm hoping Dayton shoots better tonight and make this one a laugher.


the New York Rangers play at Columbus tonight.


i should be on here tomorrow in the morning.


i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

a good afternoon nap...

 sometimes my back gets bad enough that i'll sit down in my massage chair, lean back, and just drift away. one of these days, i'm hoping that is how i die. today, it was how i took a long ass nap this afternoon. i must have slept for 2 hours or so. of course, when you only sleep 4 hours a night, it is bound to happen.


NXT was really good last night.









AEW was really good last night as well.



The Masked Dancer was good last night.


Name That Tune was good last night.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Buffalo. i'd love to see them actually play 60 minutes and win for a fucking change.


the mail was actually delivered this morning around 10 AM. i was shocked. then, i saw it was starting to snow and i realized why it was being worked so early. they are already so fucking far behind as it is.


f.y.i. if you happen to call me on my cell phone, please leave a fucking message. i'm blocking anyone who doesn't leave one as most of the damn calls i get are spam.


also, if you want my cell number, just ask.


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

how i just love waking up to the sound of a lawnmower...

it never fucking fails. a Saturday morning where i feel like i could actually get some decent fucking sleep for a change. sure enough, 9 in the morning, i wake up to the sounds of a fucking lawnmower. god, how i miss these days on the fucking farm where humanity was far enough away i never had to hear them.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

Los Espookys was excellent last night.

at the Women's World Cup, USWNT defeated France yesterday 2-1. this morning, the Netherlands defeated Italy, 2-0. Germany takes on Sweden here in a little bit.

in the Gold Cup tonight, Haiti takes on Canada and Mexico plays Costa Rica.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH and Ramy Youssef: Feelings.

the New York Yankees play the Boston Red Sox later today in London. with how the stadium looks, i'm expecting a ton of home runs the next two days.

i do plan on watching the AEW event tonight, Fyter Fest, mostly to see what should be one of the most violent wrestling matches in recent history, Jon Moxley vs. Joey Janela.

considering the Yankees play in the morning tomorrow, i will probably be on here after that game is over.

i hope everyone has an amazing Saturday. call if you need bail money.

i'd give my left arm for a good night of sleep...

i thought i was being a good boy last night, i got in bed before 2:30 in the morning. of course, the first time i saw the clock, it was 5:30. then i saw it again at 6:15. again at 7:20 and finally at 9:15, i decided, fuck it, and got out of bed. it was like a series of shitty naps. and my dreams consist of all my old girlfriends laughing at me. good times.

Smackdown was really good last night. i feel sorry for the women in WWE not named Becky, Charlotte, Ronda, Sasha or Bailey. i have no damn clue why they took the women's title off of Asuka last night and put it on Charlotte. while it makes the main event of WrestleMania that more interesting, Asuka is easily one of the best females on the roster. i did love the tag team gauntlet as the way for Kofi to get his match at WrestleMania against Daniel Bryan.

205 Live was pretty good last night.

The Jim Jefferies Show was fucking hilarious last night.

i was not surprised when i saw the news yesterday that Jordan Davis has decided to transfer from the University of Dayton. i think he saw the writing on the wall as much as the fans did. i really hope he finds the best school for him for his final two years of college.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, You're the Worst, Drop the Mic and What We Do in the Shadows. i'll watch NXT and NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i did watch most of the USMNT vs. Chile last night. i thought the USA did well to get a 1-1 draw with a team that was clearly more cohesive than theirs. i think once the coach can decide on a lineup, the USA will only get better.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Boston. lose for Hughes boys.

i'm going to try to be on here before the New York Yankees have their season opener against Baltimore tomorrow. so, if that happens, i'll be on here in the morning. if not, i'll be on here after the game is over.

that's all for me kids. until tomorrow...

it's raining, so it's laundry day...

i have my last load of laundry in the dryer. i actually decided to wash my sheets today. i think maybe some clean bedding will allow me to sleep for more than 45 minutes straight. at least that's the fucking hope.

i really want to thank everyone who took the time to listen to my interview with Marcia Epstein. i really do appreciate it. and thank you for all the feedback. feel free to share the interview with anyone and everyone.

the season finale of American Horror Story was excellent last night. just the right amount of blood and shock.

Drop the Mic was really good last night.

The Jim Jefferies Show was fucking fantastic last night.

i only really liked two performances on The Voice last night. thankfully, Adam took those 2 to the live shows.

Smackdown was great last night. the invasion from Raw was damn near perfect. Survivor Series on Sunday should be amazing.

205 Live was pretty good as well last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice, Total Divas and the season finale of You're the Worst. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Chicago. hopefully they can keep the winning streak going.

i believe mom wants to go out shopping tomorrow, so i'll probably be on here after that. it will hopefully be before the Dayton Flyers pay Hofstra in Charleston, South Carolina.

i have a bed to go make.

afternoon thunderstorms

i was just starting to write this when the news that Chester Bennington committed suicide today broke. the fucking eerie part for me is that today is Chris Cornell's birthday. and when someone that is as old as me does die, i'm torn. should i be mournful or jealous? i never really got into Linkin Park. but as i have grown older, i have learned to appreciate anyone that has tried to share their creativity with the world. i do hope he and his family will find whatever peace that is out there for them.

the New York Yankees lost yet again yesterday, 6-1. that's another damn series lost. that's also the first series they have lost to the Twins in 9 years i believe. the Yankees start a 4 game series tonight in Seattle.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. i do think that Dominique will get evicted tonight, although i'm sure there will be some producer shenanigans going on.

Lucha Underground was really good last night.

NXT was excellent last night.

Snowfall was fucking great last night. i think FX has another winner on their hands.

the USA has not played well at all in the Gold Cup. i am somewhat surprised they have made into the semifinals. i really shouldn't be that surprised given the shitty soccer in this region if you don't play for Mexico, USA, Costa Rica or Panama. El Salvador did their best last night to turn the game into a complete shit show. 2 late USA goals in the first half made the second half mostly unwatchable. how the fuck El Salvador got away with biting and punching and never getting called for it is beyond me. but, the victory puts the USA against Costa Rica Saturday night in the semifinals.

Lip Sync Battle was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother and 30 for 30 George Best: All By Himself.

that 30 for 30 will be on right before Manchester United takes on Manchester City. i think this is the first time they have played the Manchester derby in the USA. hopefully United will win.

my pain has been pretty bad today. i only got 4 hours of sleep last night. and my arthritis has been fucking with me since i woke up. this rain this afternoon did me no fucking favors. hopefully it cooled everything down. that would be nice.

i still have to take a shower before i take mom to her physical therapy session.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after my trip to the grocery store. i believe mom is going to have a scroll for me. she's spent the last few days looking through cookbooks. i'll be interested to see what a woman with cataracts in both eyes wrote down for ingredients.

the good part about being an asshole

when i heard it start to rain last night, i was happy i already had 3 victory beers in me. of course, i didn't sleep well. apparently i need to switch to just liquor.

mom got her diagnosis finally. spinal stenosis and multiple spinal protrusions. in common words, she has 3 bulging discs and her spinal column is narrowing more than what is normal. i figure that probably has something to do with her hip being fucked up as well. so now i think we have to wait for a visit to a specialist and then it will be interesting to see where they go from there. physical therapy or surgery?

the New York Yankees won last night, 5-1 to finish off the sweep of Boston. of course, Baltimore won last night, so the Yankees were eliminated from having a chance to make the playoffs. the final series of the season starts tonight at home against the Orioles. my only hope left is that they sweep Baltimore and knock them out of making the playoffs as well.

the New York Rangers won last night, 3-1 over the Devils. i'm getting the feeling that this could be a pretty interesting season.

Better Things was fucking great last night.

i watched Fuck, That's Delicious this afternoon. this time they were in Barcelona, another city i'll probably never get to go to. it was fucking hilarious as always.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW and High Maintenance. i might watch some college football tonight as well, Stanford at Washington.

i had to go to 3 places today to get the grocery shopping done. it was pouring just about the entire fucking time. my arthritis really didn't start to flare up until the 3rd place. that made going through the grocery store pretty eventful. i must have been wearing my pain on my face, as most people simply got the fuck out of my way as i was going down the aisles. and of course, the store had been ransacked by the elderly in the morning and now they were back to get free samples, i.e. having dinner. thankfully, i had enough coupons to get my total under $200. even mom was impressed by that when i got back home. at least the freezer is now full and we shouldn't have to go out to eat that often for the next few weeks.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i'm shooting for the morning as Ohio State plays at noon. if the morning doesn't happen, it will probably be afternoon or something like that.

i have to go now help mom with dinner and figure out what vegetable to make with ribs and mashed potatoes.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i hope everyone got the most they could have out of September. hard to fucking believe that tomorrow starts October.

fake hustle

that's one of my favorite terms, especially when watching shitty teams. and as a guy who dabbled in team sports, i know exactly what fake hustle is. busting your ass when you're losing big and the other team is coasting... slapping the floor on defense, grunting for the sake of supposed effort, etc, etc. watching the New York Yankees last night, fake hustle showed up in the 9th inning.

i made the mistake of watching the first inning of the game last night. the Yankees got the bases loaded and of course, did nothing. as usual, the baseball gods rewarded the other team in the bottom half of the inning. so, i tuned into the 9th inning of the game and San Diego was up 7-2. enter fake hustle. some walks, a few hits and then, boom, it's 7-6. and here's the difference between fake hustle and real hustle. the Yankees had the tying run at 3rd with two outs. just a single and they tie the game. instead, a meek ground ball to second to end the game. i laughed, because the younger me would have been so disappointed that they came so close. the older, jaded me understands what a tease truly is. the Yankees are under the delusion that they actually have a chance this season. the sheep probably believe it as well. i've grown well past the sheep stage of my fandom. i'm at the bitter asshole stage where i don't appreciate fake hustle. i'd rather see them just lose and blow it up and start over. hopefully they start another losing streak tonight.

Euro 2016 Update:
after the first 15 minutes or so, Wales really outplayed Belgium yesterday. and honestly, the 3-1 win for Wales was completely deserved and earned. easily, the biggest win for Wales ever in a major competition. they next play against Portugal. CR7 against Gareth Bale. very interesting. today is the match between two giants, Italy vs. Germany. Italy has never lost to Germany in a competitive match. that should get tested today.

NJPW was excellent last night. 2 solid hours of great wrestling.

VICE was very interesting last night. i never knew just how much parts of Utah look like Mars. and none of the prisoner reports from Gitmo were that surprising. it amazes me why people can't see the benefit from closing it.

it's pretty cool here for July 2nd. i think it's only supposed to get into the upper 70's today. of course, that only means it's going to be hotter than shit in a few days.

i did write a new poem this morning. hopefully i write a few more of them today.

i am bringing my camera and video camera on vacation, just in case the creative juices start to flow. i do hope to get some good pictures.

looks like Manchester United has another new signing. they haven't confirmed it yet, but the club that is selling the player has.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

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...
