closer to my goal...

 i have always wanted to be one of those people that don't wake up until noon. the problem is, i have to go to sleep sometime around 8 in the morning for that to happen. so, when i went to sleep this morning at 5:41 AM, i was pretty happy when i woke up at 10:45 AM. maybe these meds they have me on now are actually helping me lose weight and sleep. what a concept.

i happened to watch the Sly Lives (AKA The Burden of Black Genius) today on HULU. it was fantastic. i highly recommend everyone checking it out.

another wasted day

 got up early today for no reason once again. our contractor called this morning and said he couldn't make it after telling us last night he was going to be here early today. joy. so, i told mom fuck it, i'm going back to bed, which i eventually did. i've been trying to get as much rest as i can here lately as i know i have a long ass drive to make Thursday to take mom to a doctor's appointment. and considering how she doesn't do well in car rides, i'm not looking forward to it. so, i figured, i better be well rested when making the drive so i'm not on a short fuse. good times.

so damn hot...

 the heat today was oppressive for sure. it was classic Ohio in the summer, but it felt like an August heat. the air you can wear. and it was like that from the moment i woke up. of course, i didn't fall asleep to almost 5 in the fucking morning. i was hoping i would get some poems written but that never happened last night. one thing that happens to me in the summer is i have so much other shit i am interested in, the poet in me tends to get lost in the shuffle. every once in a while, i have to blow up that fucker's ego and just go for it. of course, i would love to not have to jump through any fucking hoops. but that utopia has always been foreign to me.

so, the doctor's appointment went well yesterday. my weight was down. my A1C was down. my blood pressure was perfect. hell, the appointment was shorter than the drive there. i will have to do some bloodwork and a urine sample before my next appointment. that is in September. 

the baseball cards from Repacked Wax yesterday were excellent. i spent a little under $40 on the 10 packs. there was close to $80 worth of cards in them. that is why i keep buying from them. the best card in the packs was a 1973 Topps Tom Seaver. 

the Yankees lost last night down at that dump in Tampa, 5-4. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.

i did watch some of the NHL awards last night. Igor Shesterkin won the Vezina trophy. i have a feeling it won't be the last time he wins it.

NXT was pretty good last night.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

Holey Moley was crazy as usual last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and AEW Dynamite.

Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final is tonight.

the grocery shopping went pretty well today. i was able to keep the bill under $100 at Kroger today. that was a minor miracle.

mom's injection worked for the most part. she knows it can't take away all the pain, but it has taken away a good portion of it.

she is going to try to go to physical therapy tomorrow. so, i'm going to try to get the blog done in the morning so i won't be trying to squeeze it in tomorrow night.

there are storms all around us but no rain here as i am writing this. but my arthritis doesn't know that. fuck me.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

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.

one for the ages...

 so, when Ohio State got down 14-0 yesterday to Utah, i was not happy. thankfully, the show was just beginning. CJ Stroud and Jaxon Smith-Njigba put on a show last night. Stroud threw for 572 yards and 6 TDs. Jaxon had 15 catches for 347 yards and 3 TDs. they both set records for the Rose Bowl and for Ohio State. Ohio State beat Utah last night, 48-45. i hope that sets up the team for a monster 2022 season.

the Winter Classic last night was good. the Blues beat the Wild, 6-4.

WWE Day 1 was interesting last night. Roman Reigns had to be pulled from the show because of COVID. that meant Brock Lesnar was put into the WWE championship match instead. and of course, he won. i really hope that sets something up between him and Bobby Lashley or Big E. i would love to see those matches down the line.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Dexter: New Blood and Yellowjackets.

the New York Rangers play this afternoon at home against Tampa Bay. hopefully, they boys will find a way to win.

the New Orleans Saints play at home today against Carolina. the Saints are getting many of their players back today, so i'm expecting them to win.

it has finally stopped raining, for now. it feels like winter again.

i should be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the afternoon.

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

 the sun actually made an appearance today. that was very welcomed. i think i got something close to decent sleep last night. of course, my back said something else. so, i spent a good portion of the morning in my massage chair with ice on me. good times.

The Voice was good last night. i have no clue which two are getting cut tonight.

Monday Night Raw was good last night, for the most part. i was expecting something better since it was the last Raw before Survivor Series. 

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

the USMNT plays at Jamaica this evening in World Cup qualifying. hopefully, they will find a way to get a tough road win tonight.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning, before i do the grocery shopping. i have a Dayton Flyers game tomorrow night.

 my mother had her oxygen tank (for lack of a better word) delivered here last night. the guy who brought it and set it up was really nice. he explained things very clearly. mom has to use it every night while she is sleeping. thankfully, it doesn't make much noise. she said she felt pretty good last night. we have to figure out all her foods and how much she can have. but, i'm sure we'll get the feel for that before too long.

Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night.

Austin City Limits was an old episode last night with Willie Nelson.

ROH was pretty good last night.

the USWNT takes on Brazil today in the SheBelieves Cup.

i'm sure i'll probably watch some college basketball today as well.

and maybe a little outdoor hockey...

i have no idea when i will be on here tomorrow. i think mom has some home healthcare people coming or calling or both tomorrow. i know her endless parade to the doctors starts on Tuesday.

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

if i was 20 years younger...

i have little doubt i would be one of the protestors and be quite tempted to start breaking shit or torment the police. growing up with many black friends, i got to see first hand the way the police treat and think about blacks. it disgusted me then and still disgusts me to this day. i saw a post today on MeWe that i loved.

i was in high school when the riots were going on in Los Angeles. one of the more fascinating experiences in my life. the only white kid in a class of 25 or so. i learned pretty damn quickly how to be an ally. if my health was better and i didn't have a disabled mother to take care of, i'd be out there today.

mom wanted some Chinese food for lunch today. thankfully, the only Chinese restaurant we have in town is open again. i went to pick that up. i was pretty pleased with all the safety measures they have taken in the restaurant. the food was excellent as always.

it's way fucking hotter today. i think it is currently 87 degrees outside. i can't fucking wait to go next door to do the trash. fuck me.

Monday Night Raw was ok last night.

Fuck That's Delicious was excellent last night.

Songland was very good last night.

the asshole that runs this place has perfectly shown why i have such a fucking distaste for religion, capitalism, fascism, fuck, most of the isms. his little stunt last night to chase the peaceful protestors away with tear gas so we could all see the dictator wanna be photo of him at the church holding the bible was truly fucking ridiculous. and motherfuckers think i'm crazy when i say democracy is fucking dead in this country.

i'll be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done. i'm going to try to go in the morning since there are supposed to be storms around here tomorrow afternoon.

that's all for me kids.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. i hope you have a great day.

the Dayton Flyers lost to Kansas yesterday in OT, 90-84. while i am very happy that they took the #4 team in the country to overtime, i'm still going to think of this as a missed opportunity. the refs did them no favors, that's for sure. but, Dayton's coach had his head up his ass in OT. Kansas ran the same fucking play the entire 5 minutes. Dayton made no adjustments. and please, anyone on earth tell me, how the fuck does your best player (Obi Toppin) not get one fucking shot off in overtime?

NXT was really good last night.

AEW was really good last night as well.

nothing on the DVR tonight. i do plan on watching NXT UK sometime this afternoon.

the New Orleans Saints play tonight at Atlanta. if the Saints win, they will clinch a playoff spot i do believe. so, i really hope that happens tonight.

Manchester United plays later this morning in the Europa League. they took a very young traveling squad with them, so i'm really interested to see how the kids play.

i'm sure i'll watch some football today, probably some college basketball and no parades. simply not a fan.

mom made a breakfast casserole this morning. it was really good. my sister is going to one of the cousin's house for Thanksgiving. she'll be back here sometime tonight for dinner.

i suppose i should be thankful for improving health, but i'm not. i suppose i should be thankful for my mother and sister, but i'm not. i suppose i should be thankful for my poetic talent, but i'm not. i suppose i should be thankful that anyone actually reads this blog, and i am.

enjoy the food, the drinks and whatever else you enjoy on today.

i'll be on here sometime tomorrow. i don't do any black friday shopping and i am hoping i got most of we needed from the grocery store yesterday.

i had a line pop in my head yesterday that completely came out of nowhere... i once met Ezra Pound in a dream and he told me to fuck off. as soon as it popped in my head i started to laugh. i flushed that out and eventually wrote a poem, which gives me 30 for the month. that little inspiration got my ass in gear and today i sent out 20 poems. 6 to Record Magazine; 5 to Horror Sleaze Trash and 3 each to Pyrokinection, The Beatnik Cowboy and Rusty Truck. when i hear back from these places i will pass on the verdicts.

i did watch a little of the Daytona 500 yesterday. seeing the number 3 car in victory lane again certainly brought back some memories.

and i did watch a bit of the NBA All-Star game as well. i do like the new format, that's for sure. the game seemed much more competitive.

the New York Rangers lost yesterday 7-4. i have no damn clue why the coach left The King in for all 7 goals. at least they are continuing to tank the season now.

Our Cartoon President was hilarious last night.

Celebrity Big Brother was pretty good last night. i have no damn clue who is getting voted out tonight.

Homeland was pretty good last night.

The Chi was excellent last night.

Here and Now was fucking great last night.

Divorce was pretty funny last night.

Crashing was pretty good last night.

Last Week Tonight was fucking brilliant as always last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Celebrity Big Brother. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i do believe that the USA men's hockey team plays tonight against Slovakia. they will have to win that game and win tomorrow if they want a chance to play for a medal. i know the women's team will be playing Canada for the gold medal in a couple days i think.

i might watch some of the Winter Olympics tonight. especially if i can't sleep like last night.

it's been really muggy the last few nights. perfect if you like sleeping with a shotgun in your mouth.

i'll be on here tomorrow before i have to take mom to physical therapy.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. hopefully some of you actually got to enjoy a 3 day weekend.

an unexpected high energy Tuesday

today is the first day where it truly feels like it is summer outside. full of sun, a bit of humidity, sweat, bug spray, short fuses and cats sleeping on the concrete.

today is also the birthday of the biggest crush i ever had in my life. i use the past tense as a way of telling myself she's never going to leave her husband. but if she ever did... i would have killed people if she asked when i was 17, you can only imagine what i would do now.

the house is open and nearing 80 degrees inside. mom complained about being cold last night with the air conditioning on. i hope she enjoys the other extreme. this feels like my sister's condo now. and she won't run the a/c because she's a tight wad when it comes to money.

i enjoyed Monday Night Raw last night. i got a good laugh when they said it was the first time Daniel Bryan and Seth Rollins wrestled against each other. i do believe i recall a match 5 years ago in ROH between Bryan Danielson and Tyler Black. it was great then as it is now. i figure when CM Punk is back and the Wyatt Family is running around, it might actually become 3 hours of great television again.

i did watch most of The Voice last night. i'm not sure if my 3 picks are going to make it or not. i really didn't care for Sasha's performances last night. i still believe it will be Danielle, Michelle, and Sasha. if she doesn't make it, i can't believe i'm typing this, but i think The Swon Brothers could crack the final 3. tonight should be heartbreaking for 2 people at least.

so, from The Voice tonight i will jump to Deadliest Catch. from there it will become crazy time. all going on at the same time mind you. the Yankees are out in Oakland starting a series. team USA plays Panama in World Cup Qualifying. and game 3 of the NBA Finals are on as well. needless to say i will be wearing out the remote once again. and hopefully enjoying two victory beers at the end of it.

i have been a busy boy networking over at LinkedIn. hopefully it actually leads to some productive ideas. or at the very least, increased book sales.

and speaking of the devil...

no news on the critter front. both traps were closed this morning with nothing in them. i'm figuring the curious ass cats triggered them or the dumb ass birds did. i did laugh when the groundhog was sniffing around the closed trap at dusk last night. life truly is a comedy of fucking errors.

that's all for today. i'm off to figure how the fuck i'm going to get to wherever to see NIN play on this tour coming up. these are the moments where i figure it might have actually been good to have more than a handful of friends over 37 years of existence.
