i found out right before i fell asleep last night that the pope had died. i find it curious that one of the last pieces of shit to see him alive was J.D. Vance. now, i'm not saying one thing killed the other, just saying it is interesting. in a weird way, last night was full of tragedy. be it wrestling, tv shows, reality... damn.
night 2 of WrestleMania was damn near perfect. the show was much better paced than night 1. i liked the matches better. the Joe Hendry surprise was actually a surprise. it was great to see Becky Lynch back. then, the main event started. Cena's win over Cody felt completely anticlimactic. now, i have learned to let everything play out before casting judgement, but this certainly fell flat. and i know in wrestling history, when your main event falls flat, it takes away from the whole show.
The Last of Us last night was shocking, mostly because i didn't know what was coming since i never played the video game.
The Americas last night was the behind the scenes of how they made the show. that was fascinating to watch.
The Righteous Gemstones was hilarious last night. just two episodes left.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan was very good last night.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs yesterday:
here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs yesterday:
Manchester United lost yesterday at home to Wolves, 1-0.
the Yankees won 4-0 yesterday against Tampa Bay. i couldn't believe the official scorer took away the no hitter that Max Fried was working on. and i couldn't believe the umpires and the replay booth took away a home run from Aaron Judge that was clearly fair. the Yankees start a series tonight in Cleveland.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight. i will be watching Monday Night Raw on Netflix. the Raw after WrestleMania is always a crazy one.
below are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:
mom has physical therapy today. i will hopefully write some poems there.

so, i went to the bank to make a deposit before my doctor's appointment. i got to the doctor's office a little early and amazingly, they got me into my appointment early. my A1C went from 8.4 to 6.0, everyone is thrilled about that. i explained that there will be a little gap in the Rybelsus since Anthem wanted me to pay over $2,600 for it. i did get my Medicaid card today. of course, the mail didn't come before my appointment. so, i'll have to make another trip out tomorrow while grocery shopping. so, i got back home and wanted to cancel my Anthem insurance. the last 2 hours have been spent trying to do that. from what i gather, the fuck up is the plan used to be on the Marketplace but no longer is so the Marketplace can't cancel something they don't have yet Anthem is telling me that is the only way the policy can be cancelled. as i told my mother, this is why death is so popular anymore. i told mom to try to cancel the payment she made last night and maybe then they'll understand to cancel the fucking policy.
i didn't get to watch any of the Manchester United game today. they lost at Nottingham Forest, 1-0.
Monday Night Raw was very good yesterday.
The Voice was excellent last night.
the New York Rangers signed Gabe Perreault last night. that made me very happy.

enjoy...
i will probably do two videos a day on poets i like. and in this case, i figured i would start with myself as i have had the kind of day that i know my 8 year old self is laughing about and shaking his head, knowing that death was always the right answer.

i don't have any concrete plans for today. i might reconfigure my small ass room, just to see if i can get it to where i can get all my clothes into the dressers. what that really means is i might have a large ass donation to the Vietnam Vets soon.
i hope the weather is good wherever you happen to be. i know it is supposed to start raining here at noon.

for most of today, the feels like temperature outside has been over 100 degrees. good times.
i did make it to Menards yesterday. managed to get everything on the list and spend under $100.
the Yankees lost yesterday 6-5 at home to Boston and got swept for the second straight series. they have lost 8 straight games, which is their longest losing streak since 1995. thank god they are off tonight.
the New Orleans Saints won last night at the Chargers, 22-17.

so, first off, i want to wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July.
i was hoping to get up earlier today, but apparently the shower i took at 2 in the morning actually did the trick. i didn't get up until 10 this morning. i know i got at least 6 solid hours of sleep. fuck, that might as well be a coma for me.
the New York Yankees won last night at home against Baltimore, 6-3. hopefully, they will win again this afternoon.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.
enjoy some music:

i will probably watch plenty of the MLS today as well as the Gold Cup.

"If you can go through life without experiencing pain you probably haven't been born yet."

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
this is one of those mornings where i really could have gone without the punch to the dick. i turned off the Manchester United game when they were down 2-0. they would eventually lose to Manchester City, 6-3. in all honesty, i never expected them to win this game, i was just hoping the gulf between the teams wasn't going to be as large as it really is.
the New Orleans Saints were much better on offense today. the defense played well enough for them to win. but, as usual, two bullshit defensive penalties cost them today as well as two costly fucking turnovers. the Saints had over 100 yards in penalties today. that's not how you win games in this league. the Saints lost to the Vikings, 28-25. what would have been the game tying field goal hit the upright and the crossbar from 61 yards out. fuck me.
the Yankees won yesterday over the Orioles, 8-0. Judge is still at 61. he is a couple points behind now in batting average for the triple crown. the Yankees play their final home game of the regular season today.
Ohio State defeated Rutgers yesterday, 49-10. considering Rutgers got their 10 points from Ohio State turnovers, the game should have been a shutout. Ohio State will actually play on the road next week, first time this season.
i did watch some of the Columbus Crew game last night. what a fucking finish.
here are some more college football highlights from yesterday:
Yvonne Orji: A Whole Me was fucking hilarious last night.
The Caverns Sessions last night had Shooter Jennings on. one of my favorites...
Austin City Limits was amazing last night.
Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night. i know the show is going to have a much different feel given all the cast changes this season.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Last Week Tonight, Power Book III: Raising Kanan and Nothing Compares.
i should be on here tomorrow after mom's doctor's appointment.
before that, i have to take some mail back and make a deposit at the bank. so, i will be busy right from when i wake up tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
i remember this holiday was a fun one for me when i was a kid. fireworks, cookouts, parties, sunshine, etc... but now as an adult, fireworks don't do anything for me. if i would be having a cookout, i would be the one cooking. i haven't been to a party in years. sunshine isn't that big of a deal to me ever since mom got skin cancer. and the true meaning of independence day is lost on so many sheep in this country. and besides that, not everyone is allowed to celebrate this day. which honestly, to see the amount of bigotry and ignorance still in this country in 2022 is beyond fucking depressing.
and speaking of that, i sat down to write yesterday. 2 hours of sitting and looking at a blank page. 2 hours of nothing. so, now i really know i am depressed. i was hoping a shower at 3 in the morning would help. i got out this morning and fed the birds and watered the tomato plants. and yeah, still fucking depressed. so yeah, not exactly the mood i wanted for the 4th of July.
the Yankees had more errors than hits yesterday. they lost to Cleveland, 2-0. they are off today and start a series in Pittsburgh tomorrow night.
the season finale of The Man Who Fell to Earth was excellent last night.
both episodes of We Hunt Together were good last night. i might just binge the series later this week since there are only 6 episodes.
The Chi was excellent last night.
Flatbush Misdemeanors was pretty funny last night.
Westworld was very good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw and Miz and Mrs.
the USWNT plays tonight against Haiti in group play of the CONCACAF women's championship.
i did watch most of the USMNT U-20 game last night against the Dominican Republic. the USA won 6-0 to win the tournament.
the only tradition i have for the 4th of July anymore is watching the hot dog eating contest. i have that on in the background right now.
Joey Chestnut won his 15th title, eating 63 hot dogs. just imagine that bowel movement.
i did listen to episode 402 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:
when the New York Rangers got down 2-0 last night, i wasn't very happy. then, in a matter of 3 minutes or so, the boys woke up and scored 3 straight goals. of course, the Penguins tied the game a few seconds later at 3. the Rangers scored twice in the 3rd period to win the game 5-3. that forces Game 6 tomorrow in Pittsburgh. best part of the game was Crosby getting injured. i know that's not the politically correct thing to say, but i hate that whiny motherfucker so much that he deserves every bit of pain he ever gets.
here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:
The Masked Singer was a look back on the season last night. the season finale is next week.

mom has physical therapy late this afternoon. i will hopefully get some poems written while i am there.
i also need to call mom's financial advisor today as she is finally giving me a bigger role in that aspect of her life.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get all the shit that wasn't on the grocery list from yesterday.
until tomorrow kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
30 years ago i remember buying Nevermind by Nirvana at the Salem Mall. hell, that mall doesn't even exist anymore. it was one of the albums that influenced me more than anything else in this world. and i happened to get it right as poetry was slowly taking over my life. i can remember the lyrics to those songs to this day. and i'm pretty sure Kurt Cobain influenced my writing just as much as Bukowski and Burroughs or Ginsberg did. so, today has been one of those nostalgia mind fucks and a sad reminder that Kurt isn't here to see this.
Vice News Tonight has another great week of shows.
Big Brother went as i hoped last night. Big D evicted Kyland and he was shocked. of course, he then started to talk shit about Xavier to his face and i was waiting for Xavier to lose his cool and deck the fucker. so now the final 3 is a King and two Jokers. almost fucking literally.
the season finale of Holey Moley was crazy last night.
NXT UK was really good last night.
What We Do in the Shadows was very funny last night.
Dark Side of the Ring was about Chris Kanyon last night. i remember watching that guy back in WCW and being amazed at his moves for his size.
The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.
Alter Ego was crazy as well last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Real Time with Bill Maher, The Shop and Back On the Record with Bob Costas. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on Peacock.
the Yankees start a critical series tonight at Boston. if they can win the series, they will greatly increase the chances of them making the playoffs.
since Manchester United plays early as fuck tomorrow, i will probably write the blog after their game with Aston Villa. hopefully, i will be happy.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
the weather here has been damn near perfect today. i was able to open up the house and let it air out some. i waited until it was a little warmer since we started out in the 40's today. i'm hoping it stays like this all weekend.
that's all for me kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, i finally had enough last night. tossing and turning in bed, i got up at 4:40 this morning and said fuck it. i went to the freezer and got an ice pack. i went out to the living room and got in my massage chair. i woke up there at a little after 8 this morning. i swear, it shouldn't be this hard to fucking sleep.
instead of opening the blog with another fucking Yankees loss, i'll start with the USMNT.
when the USA trailed Honduras, 1-0, at halftime yesterday, i was pissed. i didn't like the formation they were playing or the players they selected. thankfully, the coach realized some of his own fuck ups and made some changes right from the start of the second half. those subs made all the difference. plus, i really, REALLY want to fucking believe the USA has finally found their number 9. Ricardo Pepi made his debut last night and honestly, he had the game of his life. the USA won 4-1 and Pepi was involved in every one of the goals. when he scored the go ahead goal, i screamed Pepi at the top of my lungs. i believe my mother was just shaking her head, knowing her son is now insane. this puts the USA in 3rd place in World Cup qualifying and should (hopefully) set them up good for the next cycle of games in October.
now to the Yankees. when they tied the game last night at 3, on a home run by Brett Gardner, the last player on the Yankees that actually played with Derek Jeter, i was encouraged. silly me. the Blue Jays won last night, 6-3. they are no longer in first for the wildcard and will most likely get swept tonight. and that will lead into a weekend series at the Mets. if George was alive, i honestly believe Aaron Boone might be hanging from a tree at the moment.
AEW was excellent last night. if they are honestly going the direction of Kenny Omega vs. Bryan Danielson, just take all my fucking money right now.
Big Brother was good last night. Claire will be voted out tonight. i can't wait until the houseguests find out tonight will be a double eviction.
American Horror Story: Double Feature was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother, Holey Moley, When Nature Calls, What We Do in the Shadows and Dark Side of the Ring. i already watched NXT UK this afternoon. it was really good.
oh, and a little thing called the NFL starts back up tonight. Tampa Bay plays Dallas and honestly, i couldn't give a shit.
i think i am going to try to get some poems out tomorrow. if i actually get that done, i should be on here after that. i do hope to have the blog done before my sister comes down tomorrow. i think she's spending the weekend here.
it has been really nice today. i have had the windows open since this morning. good times.
until tomorrow kids...

fuck racism.
fuck hatred.

the fuckers around here have shot off so many damn fireworks the last couple of nights, i have no clue how the fuck they would have any left for tonight.
the Yankees lost yesterday to the Mets, 8-3. they play a doubleheader today. if the Yankees lose both games they should be happy that George Steinbrenner is dead. if he was still the owner, there would be heads on stakes at Yankee Stadium after this shit.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:
so, the NBA Finals are set. Milwaukee vs. Phoenix.
at the Euro 2020 yesterday, Denmark defeated Czech Republic, 2-1. England whipped Ukraine, 4-0. the semifinals are now set. Italy plays Spain on July 6th and England will play Denmark on July 7th.
at the Copa America yesterday, Colombia defeated Uruguay on penalty kicks, 0-0 (4-2) and Argentina defeated Ecuador, 3-0. the semifinals at the Copa America will be Brazil vs. Peru on July 5th and Colombia vs. Argentina on July 6th.
i did watch the Columbus Crew vs. New England Revolution game yesterday. it finished 2-2. i wanted to see what the new stadium looks like in Columbus. it does look amazing, at least on television.
ROH was really good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The One And Only Dick Gregory.
i will be watching the hot dog eating contest like i do every 4th of July.
i'm sure i will watch some fireworks tonight and hopefully won't be pissed off at two Yankees losses.
i will probably watch some NASCAR today, especially if i need a good nap.
i did go out and water the tomatoes this morning. it is supposed to get up to 90 today, so i don't think we're going to be opening the windows.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
