let the weekend begin...

i was up at 7 this morning. if i would have gone to bed around 10 or so, that would have been lovely. instead, i finally fell to sleep at 4:30. joy.

i put out the new solar light i got for mom yesterday. it's supposed to give off this purple color, her favorite. and considering it was 50% off, i'm hoping it works well this evening. i also put out food for the birds. figured i'd take advantage of the humidity being low this morning.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

the New York Yankees defeated Boston last night, 4-2. all the scoring came in the first inning. they play a doubleheader today. i'm hoping the Yankees win both games.

the finale of Shangri-La last night was excellent. i was very interested to see what kind of damage the wildfires did to the place.

Real Time with Bill Maher was really good last night.

A Black Lady Sketch Show was fucking hilarious last night. i highly recommend it.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW and ROH.

Manchester United takes on AC Milan today in Wales. i'd love to see United win today.

the pro football hall of fame ceremonies are tonight. i might watch some of that.

i will probably watch some of the German Super Cup today as well. Borussia Dortmund takes on Bayern Munich.

i'm going to try to watch some of TripleMania XVII tonight. i believe i can find it somewhere online for free. it's the one AAA event i try to watch every year.

and somewhere between all the baseball, soccer and pro wrestling today and tonight, i'm hoping to find some more sleep.

that's all for me kids. i have a back to go ice down and a quick nap to take before United plays.

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

running on 3 hours of sleep...

at some point this morning i just said fuck it. i had a million fucking things to do and there was no fucking way i was going to get anything resembling good sleep. i had to make the appointment with the GI doctor. just my luck, that's going to be at 8 AM later in the month. fuck me. then, i had to make a trip to the bank to make a deposit. mom paid me back for everything for the last two weeks. that came up to nearly $700. i loved how she couldn't find her credit card yesterday at the car dealership. then, she casually found it while we were in Waffle House. after the bank, i had to go to the drugstore. after the drugstore, it was to the local grocery store right next door. i was hoping to have everything done by noon today. i brought everything home on the first trip around 12:30. i was back home from the big grocery store by 2 in the afternoon. my back has been killing me all day. my arm has been killing me all day. but, that's life. no one truly gives a shit.

Holey Moley was fucking hilarious yesterday.

Big Brother was a big old fucking tease last night. i got hopeful that Sam wasn't going to get evicted. then, of course, he got evicted 9-0. fuckers. Jessica won HOH, so it should be an interesting week, hopefully.

Baskets was really good last night.

Desus & Mero was fucking great last night. sadly, they start their Summer vacation now.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, the finale of Shangri-La, Real Time with Bill Maher and A Black Lady Sketch Show.

the New York Yankees start a 4 game series at home tonight against Boston. i'm hoping they do what they should have done last weekend in Boston.

i will probably be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays its last preseason game of the Summer against AC Milan.

and apparently they have agreed to the fee for Harry Maguire. i'm not going to believe it until i see him in the fucking jersey though.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i hope i can get some fucking sleep tonight. and most of all, i hope i get some victory drinks tonight.

that is all kids. have a good one. until tomorrow.

sometimes the depression gives way to something worse...

i'm not sure what to call this head space i find myself in. it's not a depression, it's not an apathy fueled self destructive phase, it's not even the blahs... i suppose it's like a transcendental crisis of some nature, the thought that death would cure something that doesn't exist per se, while fully knowing the pain is riding all of you into this void, creeping closer to whatever addictive nature inside of you exists. my blood sugar numbers always go up when i don't drink. so, to be a better diabetic, i need to be an alcoholic. talk about a catch 22. add in my mother's passive aggressive nature and my intolerance for such bullshit, and you have a lovely combination for a weekend to explode. mind you, i don't have the energy anymore.

i think i turned off the Yankees game last night in the middle of the bottom of the first inning. i would check the score every now and then, but it never got any better. the Yankees lost to the Red Sox again, 10-5. hopefully, they will flip the script this afternoon, but i'm not counting on it.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Shangri-La was really good last night. next week is the finale.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH and NJPW. i'll probably watch the Smackville special sometime tonight on WWE Network.

my sister came down today. i was so fucking tired, i didn't even hear the doorbell when she arrived. of course, she has a key, so... she's at a surprise party at the house of the cousin that molested me right now. don't even get me started.

i think the city is doing the fireworks tonight. i have no damn clue if i will be interested in watching them or not.

i'm doing my laundry today, trying to be productive while my mind is lost somewhere.

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

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

the weekend, finally...

before i get into the debacle last night, a little poetry news...

i heard back from Corey at Red Eft Review on my poetry submission from last night. one of the poems came really close, but this isn't horseshoes. he passed on all 3 i sent. oh well.

my father would have been 73 years old today. thank god he isn't.

the New York Yankees were due for a clunker and of course it just had to come up in Boston. the Red Sox took them behind the woodshed last night and beat the shit out of them. the final score was 19-3. that's the most runs Boston has ever scored on the Yankees. hopefully, i will never have to see that again in my lifetime. and hopefully, the Yankees fucking win tonight. even better, go trade for a fucking starter NOW!!!!!!!!

Holey Moley was fucking hilarious last night.

Big Brother went as i expected last night. Holly is the new HOH, so it will be back to regular programming in the house this week.

Baskets was really good last night.

Desus & Mero was excellent last night.

i did listen to episode 248 of Notsam Wrestling late last night. you can find that by going here:

and now some of this and that:

the grocery store was pretty fucking crowded today. all the prices were up it seemed. between both stores and my pills, i kept it under $200. at least we should have some options for dinner for the next week or so.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i'll probably get one done before the Yankees play in the afternoon, at least in theory.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

let's see how i do on 3 hours of sleep...

when i saw that the low was going to be 76 last night, i knew i wasn't going to have a chance in hell of getting any good sleep. sure enough, i got roughly 3 hours of sleep before i got up this morning to watch Manchester United play.

Manchester United won 1-0 over Inter Milan this morning over in Singapore. Mason Greenwood, who is all of 17 years old, scored the game winner. i really liked how United pressed in the game, always seemed to be on the front foot. if that is how they intend to play this season, i will be a happy man.

i had to take mom to the drugstore this morning. and then she wanted me to take her to get breakfast at McDonald's. it's hotter than fuck outside already.

the New York Yankees defeated Colorado last night, 8-2. hopefully, the train keeps rolling on this afternoon.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

the season finale of Los Espookys was pretty good last night.

Shangri-La was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW and ROH.

i will probably watch plenty of baseball and soccer today while napping as much as possible in my massage chair.

it currently feels like 97 outside. the feels like temperature is supposed to get up to 110 today. joy.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow, before the Yankees play and before the baseball hall of fame ceremonies.

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

until tomorrow kids...

it only feels like 99 out there...

when i took a shower last night around 3 in the morning, i was hoping to get a few hours of sleep and then get all the shopping done before noon. i didn't get nearly as much sleep as i wanted, but when i pulled into the garage at 12:10 this afternoon, i was pretty pleased.

of course, just being out for a couple of hours, i am fucking drained from the heat.

the grocery store was pretty crowded this morning. i guess everyone had the same thought i did. figures.

the New York Yankees won both games of the doubleheader yesterday against Tampa. i give Aaron Boone a ton of credit for his savage verbal ass ripping of the home plate umpire in the first game. you could tell the team really responded after that. the Yankees won the first game 6-2 and the second game 5-1. they start a series with Colorado tonight. they have opened up a 8 game lead in the division now.

Holey Moley was stupid fun last night.

Big Brother went as expected last night. i loved the blindside and i love that Cliff won to stay in the house. then he went on to win HOH. this should be a fun week with the other side of the house finally in power.

Baskets was pretty funny last night.

Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

i did listen to episode 247 of Notsam Wrestling late last night. you can find that by going here:

i know the Yankees play in the afternoon tomorrow, so i will probably be back on here before that game starts.

and i know Manchester United plays sometime against Inter Milan tomorrow in Singapore.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. stay hydrated. stay cool. and remember, since no one gives a shit about the earth, this will be the new normal.

until tomorrow kids...

tossing and turning for 5 hours, i guess that's what i call sleep...

hell, even alcohol doesn't help me sleep anymore. i tried to freeze my right arm last night. that helped for maybe a couple hours. i'm probably going to have to break down and call the doctor if this keeps up into next week. joy.

the New York Yankees won last night over Toronto, 4-0. they will play again this afternoon.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Los Espookys was really funny last night. the season finale is next week.

Shangri-La was excellent last night. Rick Rubin is probably one of my favorite humans, EVER.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW and ROH.

around the same time tonight, AEW Fight for the Fallen and Evolve's 10th anniversary will be on. the plan for now is to watch AEW first and then i'll watch Evolve on WWE Network later tonight. more or less, i will probably watch something close to 10 hours of wrestling today. i can't imagine why i'm single.

Manchester United won 2-0 today in Australia.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow.

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

take care kids...

so, i guess CBD oil doesn't really work on nerve pain...

if i had to guess, i think the pinched nerve is either in my right shoulder or right elbow. most likely, somewhere between the two. while i'm typing, or pushing a grocery cart, my right arm has a tendency to start radiating pain. good times.

yet another night of shitty sleep. i was really hoping the CBD oil was going to help me get some more sleep. i went to bed at 3 AM and first saw the clock at 5 AM. joy. i eventually got out of bed a little after 8 AM.

the grocery store wasn't very crowded today, thank god. i was able to get all the shopping done and be home before 3 PM. of course, going to 3 different stores and getting gas and pills, i believe i kept everything under $175.

Holey Moley was hilarious last night.

Big Brother went as i expected last night. Nick is the new HOH. i was hoping someone from the other side of the house was going to win. i do love that Michie at least voted differently, hopefully that stirs some shit up.

Baskets was excellent last night.

Desus & Mero was great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Los Espookys and Shangri-La.

the New York Yankees start a series tonight at home against Toronto. hopefully they start the march to the playoffs with a victory.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow. i know i want to get the blog done before the clusterfuck of sports begins. AEW, Evolve and NJPW all have shows on tomorrow. Manchester United is starting their pre-season with a match in Australia. and with the Yankees game beginning at 1 in the afternoon tomorrow, morning is probably my only option of when to write the blog.

i hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. we're supposed to get some rain this weekend and then the remnants of Barry will be making a visit to Ohio shortly after that.

so, until tomorrow kids. go enjoy your Friday night.
