8 wins away from glory...

 so, when the New York Rangers started the 3rd period last night down 3-1 at Carolina, i told my mother it was going to take one hell of a third period for the Rangers to close out the series. well, Chris Kreider said hold my beer and took over the game. he scored a natural hat trick to take the lead and the Rangers eventually won the game, 5-3. that clinched the series, 4-2. now, they will face either Boston or Florida in the Eastern Conference final. 

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

the New York Yankees swept the Twins yesterday, winning 5-0. the Twins only scored 1 run in the 3 game series. the Yankees play at home tonight against the White Sox.

I Can See Your Voice was crazy as usual.

i'm sure i will watch some of the NHL and NBA playoffs tonight.

it did rain for a little bit today. i'm sure mom didn't mind as she finally got her plants planted outside. she was really happy that i trusted her enough to go to Rite Aid and get my pills yesterday while she was outside doing the plants on the back porch. now, to be honest, my nerves were raging, but i figured as long as i don't put the thought of her falling out into the universe, she would be fine. thankfully, she was.

i will probably take a shower after i get this done and then make dinner. i'm thinking i might do nachos tonight.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

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

until then kids...

fight the power.

trying to stay in the moment...

 as a sports fan, i do a pretty good job of staying in the moment. the task at hand, etc. i do my best to apply that to my life. and i am trying to get mom to do that as well. my belief is when her mind starts to wander off into the distance, her auto-pilot is drunk and asleep at the wheel. that would explain the falls, etc. just a theory but it makes sense, at least in my eyes. 

i wrote 2 poems while mom was in physical therapy yesterday. i typed those up after we ate lunch. she wanted an Orange Cream shake from Arby's, so we just got lunch from there. i tried that new Wagyu beef sandwich they have. it was really good. the poems were really good as well. i'm hoping to get another handful of poems written this week so i'll have plenty to choose from for the next round of submissions. 

the New York Yankees lost to Baltimore last night, 6-4. that is 3 losses in a row for the Yankees. hopefully, they will end that fucking streak tonight.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

AEW Dynamite was really good last night.

Hard Knocks was excellent last night.

here are your highlights from the NBA last night:

the New York Rangers pissed away a 3rd period lead and lost at Florida last night, 4-3.

the baseball cards i got yesterday were ok, at best. a few hall of famers (Tony Gwynn and Andre Dawson) but not much else.

AEW Dynamite was amazing last night. the match between Hangman and Bryan Danielson was off the charts great. a 60 minute time limit draw masterpiece. now, i can't wait to see them do it again.

The Masked Singer finale was crazy. i did guess the Queen of Hearts correctly, it was Jewel. i would have never guessed The Bull in about a million guesses.

Young Rock was pretty good last night.

Kenan was pretty funny last night.

Vice News Tonight had two great episodes this week. they are done until 2022 arrives.

Hard Knocks was excellent last night.

mom has a doctor's appointment this afternoon. i'm going to try to go to the bank before i take her there.

the grocery stores yesterday were crazy. but, i did get everything that was on the list.

so, Manchester United has had their Saturday match at home against Brighton called off. COVID is winning again. joy.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. kind of depends on how much my arthritis kicks my ass today.

a cloudy day, aching of rain...

 my left knee has been killing me all day long. the joys of arthritis. fuck.

the New Orleans Saints defeated Carolina yesterday, 27-24. i thought the offense did pretty well given the number of wide receivers that are injured. the defense did just enough to win.

WWE Hell in a Cell was pretty good last night. much as i expected, i really thought the match between Sasha and Bayley stole the show.

The Undoing was very good last night. i'm hooked already.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

Our Cartoon President was hilarious last night.

The Good Lord Bird was great last night.

The Comedy Store was excellent last night. the finale is next week.

i guess the Dodgers are 1 win away from ending their World Series drought. i almost care.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. mom's been on the phone all day, so i'm guessing i might have places to take her. i know she talked to one place about her shingles shot that she needs to get. i know i have to take her to her foot doctor on Thursday. she wants to go to Target afterwards and look at phones and some other shit.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

a rainy, muggy Friday... joy

before i get into my little pissed off rant, a little poetry news to pass along. i heard back from As It Ought To Be Magazine on my recent poetry submission. while Chase did like what i sent, it wasn't what they were looking for. i just love a nice soft landing rejection email. exactly how i want to start off the weekend.

so, i had to go to the grocery store to pick up mom's pills. it's been rainy and muggy all fucking day, so my arthritis has been having a fucking rave. no line at the grocery store, so that was cool. but, in the infinite wisdom of Kroger, they were training a new person in the pharmacy today. so, it took way longer than it needed to be to get the one prescription i was picking up. not to mention, it cost $260. so, on the way home, i got stuck behind someone who thought the speed limit was the word of god. i tend to look at it as mere suggestion. so, for the next few miles, i was stuck behind someone going anywhere between 5 to 10 mph below the limit. and right as i was going to pass, they finally fucking turned. by this time, it was raining again. joy. i got home, and mom was doing her Tai Chi for beginners workout. the grass was being mowed and i went to close the windows on the doors. my mother said something about her computer and fixing the clock on it. i asked what was wrong with the clock? and she looks at me like i have two heads and said she said font. i was like no, you said clock, but ok. so then she accused me of lying to her. i asked why the fuck would i lie to you? she then said i lie to her to make her feel more crazy so she'll die sooner. it was at this point i just said, yeah, you know me for sure, and walked to my fucking room. my patience is running fucking thinner than my hair these days. so, i'm really hoping there's going to be a writing session tonight as i have this incredible need to fucking unload.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Shelter in Place with Shane Smith was really good last night.

No Mercy No Malice with Professor Scott Galloway was excellent last night.

Total Bellas was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Betty and Basketball County: In The Water. i'll watch 205 Live tonight on WWE Network.

i'm really hoping i have nothing to fucking do this weekend. as the weather gets warmer, of course, it has to fucking rain. and the forecast looks like rain and humidity all fucking weekend. so yeah, i'll be a little miserable for the most part.

but, the Bundesliga comes back this weekend, as does NASCAR. so, i'll at least have some new sports to actually watch.

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

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

stay healthy.

i was trying to fall asleep last night when the thunder showed up. i could feel the rain pounding the roof as my back ached like a motherfucker. i think i slept in like two hour shifts last night. not fun.

here is your video for this day of National Poetry Month:

and here are a couple of links to poems you should be reading:

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

Dark Side of the Ring was very good last night.

WWE Backstage was pretty good last night. i didn't get to see all of it as the DVR fucked up. thankfully, i only missed the first four minutes.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Masked Singer, AEW, NXT and What We Do in the Shadows.

my pain today is really bothering me. both times i have iced my back it feels like i have slipped into a coma. good times.

i know it's supposed to get colder tomorrow. maybe May will be a warmer month. the only good thing about COVID-19 is how the planet itself has responded. and what this should show everyone, we can stop climate change, if we really wanted to. that's probably exactly why it will never happen.

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

stay healthy kids.

just enough rain to realize god hates you and always has...

it started to rain last night. by the time i got home from the grocery store this afternoon, it was still raining. i tried the new CBD cream my sister got me for Christmas last night. it worked, but of course the smell got to my mother. it never fails. i have no choice but to be fucking miserable to live. joy.

the USA lost to Finland yesterday 1-0 at the World Juniors. it wasn't the result i was hoping for, that's for sure. but, the streak of medals was going to end sometime.

the Dayton Flyers whipped La Salle last night, 84-58. part one of the Philly curse is over with. part two comes Sunday at Saint Joseph's. they haven't won there in almost 20 years.

the New York Rangers lost to Calgary last night, 4-3. when you give up a shorthanded goal when you're on a 2 man advantage, you should lose.

late last night i listened to the latest podcast from Notsam Wrestling. you can find that by going here:

what pissed me off the most today was shit i was looking for at the stores weren't there. it happened at all 3 places i went to today. and i had to get gas today as well. thankfully, i had $1 off a gallon for that. that helped big time since i was damn near empty.

i did get a new coffee mug for myself today:

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

i'm going to try to be on here before Manchester United plays Wolves tomorrow in the F.A. Cup. in case i'm not, here is a preview:

i think my big task this weekend will be taking the Christmas shit down and probably getting my laundry done.

i do plan on being on here before the NFL playoffs start tomorrow.

and i'll probably be checking the internet for the results of the big NJPW events this weekend. sadly, i won't be to see them now that AXS TV has dropped NJPW from its lineup, fucking assholes.

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

it finally feels like fall

i opened up the windows this morning and there was a crisp in the air. it finally feels like fall.

mom was having muscle spasms all night, so that was fun. she got the results from her x-ray. nothing is cracked or broken, so that's good. she's just bruised really bad. the doctor gave her some muscle relaxers. i don't think they are helping as much as she wanted them to. now i just have to remind her to keep ice on it as much as possible. good times.

Smackdown was pretty good last night. i loved that Bayley went full heel and won back the Smackdown women's championship. it was also the first night of the draft. this should help both shows to feel much different in the weeks to come.

205 Live was good last night as well.

the finale of Murder in the Bayou was very good last night. i know if i wanted life as a criminal, i would move to Jennings, Louisiana.

Room 104 was excellent last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH, NJPW, Austin City Limits and Saturday Night Live.

the New York Yankees start the ALCS tonight at Houston. this is the series everyone expected before the season even started.

i'll watch plenty of college football today as well.

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

i should be on here tomorrow before the Saints play in the afternoon.
