one day i'm sure arthritis will win this war with me...

 when it rains like it has for the last couple of days, i basically know i am not going to get any good sleep. so, i basically live off of the three hours at night, a few naps here and there, etc. last night, i tried to write some poems and have that make me sleepy. after i typed up the 4 i wrote, sleep really didn't come. joy.

here are your videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

the Yankees won last night at home against Arizona, 9-7. they start a series today at the Pirates.

Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage was pretty funny last night.

i did get my laundry started today. of course, my back has filed a protest, but when you run out of clean underwear...

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown.

i'm sure i will probably watch some of the women's Final Four tonight. 

i'm going to try to be on here in the morning since the New York Rangers play early in the afternoon tomorrow.

i need to go to Kroger to pick up a prescription. 

and i need to figure out what i'm having for lunch.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

something special is brewing...

 so, i was fully engaged last night with Game 7 between the Rangers and Carolina. when the Rangers got 2 first period goals on the power play and Trouba knocked out one of Carolina's best players with a clean hit, i had a really good feeling. and by the end of the game, with mostly blue shirts in the stands shouting Let's Go Rangers, i was happy. the Rangers won Game 7 on the road, 6-2. that was Carolina's first loss at home all playoffs. now, the Rangers will host the Lightning in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals at MSG. the Lightning will not be easy to beat that's for certain. they are trying to win their 3rd straight Stanley Cup. basically, it will be which Russian goalie plays best will win the series. i like the Rangers chances because they don't know any better at this point. let the youth lead you and climb onboard boys. i can't wait for tomorrow night.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

Don't Forget the Lyrics was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Holey Moley, Deadliest Catch and Mayans.

Game 1 of the Western Conference finals is tonight between Colorado and Edmonton. there is so much damn talent in this series, i truly hope non-hockey fans check it out and see how beautiful the game can be at times. 

the Yankees start a series tonight at home against the Angels.

mom didn't go to physical therapy today. she's a little pissed that they won't give her anything stronger for her bruised tailbone. i told her she should have done this a decade ago and she would already have a couple of bottles of Oxy waiting for her. i had to go to Kroger today to get her some pills and some other shit that she hopes will numb the pain enough for her to sleep.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

hard to fucking believe tomorrow will be June 1st. 

that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

here comes the pain again...

 part of feeling much older than you really are in my beliefs is never getting your expectations up. i guess i learned as a child to always prepare for the worst. and then preparation became this mindset where i expected nothing but the bad. so, i never knew how to handle the good, if the good ever would happen. now, it has happened a few times in my life. and as much as i want to think i handle success well, i know i haven't had near the amount of success that i really crave. and that brings me back to expectations. this is why i am a huge supporter of drugs. all of us need to get out of our fucking heads at times. and i know i'm at the stage of life where i really need to get out of my head. i mean third eye so open every ray of the sun fills whatever room i'm in. so yeah, i was hoping that was going to be what today was going to be about. but it wasn't. so, hopefully, tomorrow.

i did go to the bank today and deposit the check mom gave me. i then went to Big Lots and found some football, basketball and 1 pack of baseball cards. i got 5 packs of cards for around $26. there was over $80 worth of cards in them. that made me happy.

here are your 3 videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

the Yankees won last night over Toronto, 3-0. they start a series tonight in Baltimore.

it is supposed to rain tonight. i guess that explains why the grass got cut today.

i am going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow before Manchester United plays.

my sister should be down here by tomorrow afternoon.

welcome to the weekend...

 so, i got my booster shot today. much like the other two shots i got, no side effects. while i was at Rite Aid, i picked a box of football cards and a box of baseball cards. i paid $10 for them. thanks to a Trevor Lawrence gold card in the football box, i found around $45 worth of cards in the boxes. that made me happy.

for some reason, my mother didn't go to sleep last night. that meant i didn't sleep worth a shit last night. she's been napping most of today. i basically ordered her to go to sleep because i don't need her half awake trying to do something in the house and then fall and break a hip.

i did watch a good portion of the Colts vs. Jets last night. i thought the Jets were going to get the back door cover there late. it's that kind of shit why i stopped gambling years ago.

Young Sheldon was good last night.

United States of Al was pretty funny last night.

B Positive was very funny last night.

Cake was weird as always last night.

Desus & Mero was fucking great last night.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Edmonton. this should be a true test to see how good the Rangers actually are this season.

i will most likely be on here tomorrow after the Manchester derby. i hope i'll be in a good mood.

now, if i am not on after that game, it will be after Ohio State plays at Nebraska.

i highly urge everyone to check these out before Bandcamp Friday ends...

humans always get in the way of things...

 so, mom gave me a laundry list of items to go find today. and of course, nothing matches up between the website and the actual store. i had to go to Lowe's to get most of it. just imagine how efficient a store could be if the employees actually knew where shit was... i think i was in there for almost 2 hours. i did find everything i was looking for, but fuck me that took forever. i had some gift cards to use, so that took the total under $100. after that i went to Big Lots, mostly for myself. i found some baseball cards (2020 Topps Heritage), a new Darth Vader coffee mug, a Batman figurine i didn't have, a new toothbrush and i got some Christmas cocoa for mom. i had a coupon for all of that as well. i did find a nice Juan Soto short print in the baseball cards, so that made me happy.

mom gave me money to pick up lunch on the way home. of course, she wanted fish and i wanted Arby's. thankfully, McDonald's is right across the street from Arby's. by the time i got home, not only was i hungry but completely worn out. and of course, mom is on this fucking quest to redo her closet in her bedroom, so my afternoon, while it should've been spent writing this or icing down a horrific bad back... it was spent listening to a stubborn old woman bitch about doing shit wrong, not having enough strength to use a drill, etc. etc. i'm not sure how many fucking times i have to tell her that her pride will be her downfall, but i imagine it will still be said while she is fighting death. fuck me.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

B Positive was very funny last night.

The Unicorn was excellent last night.

The Voice last night was some of the holiday numbers from the past decade or so of the show.

Cari & Jemele Won't Stick to Sports was very good last night.

Miz and Mrs was hilarious last night.

Total Bellas was very good last night.

i guess you can call it sleep...

i think i mostly tossed and turned last night for the most part. but, this afternoon, with a little ice on my back in my massage chair, i probably got a good 2 hours of a hard fucking nap in. i feel a little rejuvenated i suppose. not good enough to send out the poems today like i wanted, but i get the feeling i know what i'll be doing at 3 in the morning when i can't sleep tonight.

the New York Yankees won another slugfest with the Twins last night, 10-7. they start a 4 game series tonight in Boston. this is their chance to basically eliminate Boston from having any chance to win the division.

NXT was really good last night.

Big Brother was good last night. i fully expect Bella to be evicted tonight.

Snowfall had an excellent Oh Shit ending last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Holey Moley, Big Brother, Baskets and Desus & Mero.

when i woke up this morning, i saw that Manchester United had defeated Tottenham 2-1 in China.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store.

the humidity has crept back into the area. so, the air conditioning is back on today. it was nice to have the windows open for a couple of days.

i believe my sister is coming down this weekend. i know the community picnic is this weekend, with the fireworks on Saturday night.

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

ever feel like you tore something in your foot?

i was walking into the garage today and i must have stepped wrong or landed wrong and i swear i could feel my right arch just simply rip into two. it's like it split right down the fucking middle. of course, both of my arches are abnormally high as the doctor put it years ago, so yeah. i'm going to be interested to see how long this hurts. i don't want to go to the doctor yet again, but, if i have to, i have to do it before the end of the year. joy.

mom and i went out shopping today. she wanted to go look for a new vehicle but after we left our late lunch, she said she was out of energy. she's sort of depressed that she can't do all that she used to do. i tell her to enjoy what she can do, it would be more productive for you. the asshole son, always the voice of reason. we found a bunch of things at Menards today. thankfully, they were having their 11% rebate on everything sale. after nearly 2 hours in there, we went to lunch at Max & Erma's. i've decided i'm going to try to get something i have never had before at these restaurants. something with a bit of spice or actual flavor as mom can't have anything like that anymore. so today was ham, mozzarella and pesto on ciabatta bread. it was excellent.

the New York Rangers won last night over Florida 5-2. it was their first win in regulation this season. they play tomorrow night in Chicago.

Smackdown was pretty good last night.

The Jim Jefferies Show was hilarious last night.

The Voice was really good last night.

Mayans M.C. was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lucha Underground, Mr. Mercedes, American Horror Story and Total Divas. i'll watch NXT UK, NXT, 205 Live and the Mae Young Classic tonight on WWE Network.

i did type up the 9 poems i wrote yesterday late last night/this morning. nothing like doing a little drinking and typing up poems around 3 in the morning. you'd think i was in my early 20's again. i really like a few of the poems. i probably should send out another batch before the month ends. time will tell.

i have no damn clue when i'll be on here tomorrow.

when there's just enough rain...

remember when it was in the 70's the other day and i was somewhat happy? fuck, neither do i. there's a fucking freeze warning for tonight and there was just enough drizzle to make my arthritis dance this morning. i'm normally not a complete fucking asshole on most days. today was not one of those fucking days. let's just say when mom and i went to the grocery store to fix their fuck up from the other day, costumer service was not up to what i believe would be the lowest of fucking standard conditions. their incompetence had me boiling at one point. i bit my tongue, as mom paid for the shit we didn't get. thankfully, the cashier when we were leaving was very understanding and cool. i do understand i don't play well with others. mom tells me all the time that's a problem. she doesn't like my answer. she's read the poems. she understands that if the shit hits the fan, i'll have no qualms with taking my own life. part of me truly believes that she hopes to be dead for a long time before that happens. part of me hopes for that as well. but, who are we fucking kidding...

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

the New York Yankees won in 10 innings last night, 4-3 at the Angels. Didi Gregorius is on an amazing tear here lately. and it was really nice to see the team come from behind late to force extra innings when it looked like they were going to piss a game away. they play again tonight.

i did watch a little of the NFL draft last night. so far, i'm okay with what the New Orleans Saints have done.

VICE was really good last night.

NJPW was excellent last night.

Major League Wrestling was okay last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was great last night.

Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas was really good last night.

here are your highlights from the NHL and NBA playoffs last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

i'll probably watch some more of the NFL Draft and more of the NHL and NBA playoffs tonight as well.

the Greatest Royal Rumble yesterday was pretty good, even though it certainly did not live up to all the hype the WWE put into it. the Rumble itself was the best part of the event. Daniel Bryan somehow stayed in that thing for over 76 minutes. not bad for your fourth time wrestling in 3 years. i did like that they had Braun Strowman win the event. i love that Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy are now tag team champions. i have no clue how they are ever going to get the title off of Brock Lesnar now. all in all, i thought it was pretty cool that the event was on a Friday. and the network stream was really good, so hopefully that opens the WWE to broadcasting more events from foreign countries.

i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade last night. below are the links:
Buffalo Tom - Five from Quiet and Peace
Sarah Shook & the Disarmers - A Few 'Years'

i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Arsenal. hopefully i will be in a good mood.

when you forget to layer clothes in the winter

as my mother would put it, i've been busier than nine cats trying to cover up shit in a windstorm this afternoon. and in that haste, i didn't dress properly for being out in the cold. i had to go to the store and get my pills. plus, i figured i would get me some early birthday alcohol as well. the alcohol cost more than the pills and the groceries i got while there. while i was putting the bags in the car, i realized i should have worn something warmer. the wind was fucking killing me. i think i sat in the car for a few minutes with just the heat running, trying to get my fingers to wake up. good times.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i could watch Braun Strowman just beat the shit out of everyone for a really long time and never get bored.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Smackdown. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Philadelphia. i'd love to see the boys end their losing streak tonight. i'm not holding my breath.

i'll be on here tomorrow, probably in the afternoon. i have to take mom south of town in the morning for physical therapy. i believe it's at the same place she got therapy a year or so ago. after that, since we'll be getting out of there sometime around noon, i figured we might go to lunch somewhere down there. of course, that all depends on the weather and how mom is feeling.

hello sunshine, my name is...

i have to get out of this damn rut i have fallen into of not going to sleep until 3 or 4 in the morning. now, on holiday weekends, it's not so bad, but on the regular days it's not ideal when you are helping to take care of another human. last night i was doing the dishes at 2 in the damn morning. it's comical when you think about it. 2 victory drinks just so i can stand the pain of doing the dishes for 45 minutes. and then it takes me nearly 2 hours to get to the point where i fall asleep. it's the recipe for early death my friends.

the New York Yankees won yesterday over Boston 5-1. they got some really good pitching and a welcome home run from the returning Matt Holliday. now, hopefully they can get the win tonight as a split in the series does them no good.

ROH was pretty good last night.

i did watch most of Alabama vs. Florida State last night. Alabama certainly did take advantage of every mistake Florida State made. i suppose it depends on how bad Florida State's QB is hurt if they will meet again in the playoffs or not. Alabama won 24-7.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, the season finale of Power, Ballers, Insecure, The Strain and the two hour season finale of Twin Peaks.

i figured since the sun i was out today, i would feed the birds. i did that after i went to the local grocery store to pick up all the things mom wanted for Labor Day tomorrow. all in all, it was a pretty nice day to be out in the sun.

of course, the rain should be back here by Monday night.

not the way i wanted this day to start

when i shut my eyes at 2 in the morning, i knew i was going to be up in 4 hours. that's not sleep, that's a fucking nap. but, i was up at 6 and ready to go. sadly, i can't say the same for Manchester United.

if the boys would have been simply clinical today, they would have beat Stoke City by 4 or 5 goals. instead, they pissed around and gave up a late equalizer that will leave me fucking furious for the rest of the damn day.

the New York Yankees showed a little pride yesterday, beating Baltimore 7-3. hopefully the Yankees win today and make Baltimore have to wait to see if they are actually in the playoffs or not. thankfully, today is the last game of the season and most likely the last day i will give a shit about baseball.

the New York Rangers lost last night, 5-4 to the Devils. i guess the good thing is it looks like this year's team might actually be able to score. that's a welcome change from the past.

Ohio State destroyed Rutgers yesterday 58-0. honestly, i don't think it was even that close. congrats to J.T. Barrett on setting the Ohio State record for touchdown passes.

there was some crazy ass college football games yesterday. all in all, it's why i love the sport.

i finally got to watch Deadpool. i can see why it is the highest grossing rated R movie of all time. it was fucking hilarious, start to finish. i probably rank it as my 3rd favorite movie of all time, only behind Fight Club and Pulp Fiction.

ROH was excellent last night. always interesting to watch pro wrestling in a baseball stadium.

Austin City Limits was pretty good last night. hard to imagine this was the first time Paul Simon has ever been on the show.

Saturday Night Live was really fucking funny last night. a good way to start off a new season.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Westworld, Last Week Tonight, The Strain, Shameless and Masters of Sex.

the New Orleans Saints play at San Diego later today. i've picked against them this week, hoping they might finally fucking win.

i'm not favored in either of my fantasy football matches, no surprise there.

i wrote 5 poems yesterday while enjoying my victory beer after the Ohio State game. i typed them up and i really, really like a few of them. i think i'm going to get another submission ready for next week probably.

it's hell for fat people

there's nothing quite like going out at 8 in the morning to get the paper and as soon as you walk out the door you feel the first little bit of sweat start to run down your back. and before you can get to the street and back in the air conditioning, that sweat is now in your asshole brewing up a storm. welcome to summer in my world. enjoy the visuals.

the New York Yankees fell behind last night 5-0 before the first inning was over. i was not happy. when i checked back a few minutes later, the Yankees had scored 6 runs and had the lead. they would go on to score 11 in that second inning. as a matter of fact, they scored 21 unanswered runs to win 21-5. that's a slow pitch softball score right there. the best thing, the Yankees next two pitchers after the starter got bombed didn't give up a hit. beautiful. hopefully it continues tonight.

WWE Tough Enough had another shocking ending. honestly, it's probably for the best that Mada got eliminated. i have no doubt he will be wrestling somewhere soon. and he's big enough that the WWE will come calling before too long. The Miz replaced Hulk Hogan as a judge. he spiced things up immediately and probably came within an inch of Paige killing him. that should make the next month interesting.

Total Divas was actually pretty good. Deadliest Catch was excellent last night. Tyrant was really great. unfortunately my DVR cut off the final moments, but i stayed up to watch that later. another excellent episode. i can't wait for next week.

enjoy some music kids:

here's some funny shit:

i highly recommend the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast this week with Daniel Bryan. it is an excellent episode. you can find it on iTunes, Stitcher, notsam.com and on the right hand side of this blog.

tonight is going to be a crazy one on television. all at the same time; NXT, Lucha Underground, Big Brother, the MLS All-Star game are going on. throw in the Yankees and Manchester United vs. PSG on tape delay and you pretty much have what my night is going to look like. the DVR will be busier that shit this evening.

hopefully the shower i took this afternoon helps. i believe the air conditioning has been running nearly all damn day long. we were supposed to get some rain, or at least that's what my back was telling me. of course, 10 miles to the east is under a flood watch. figures.

i hope this finds everyone with a cool drink in their hands. and hopefully it won't be your last.

say hello to snow

so, the "experts" were partly correct with the weather forecast. it did snow. thankfully, we only got three inches of it. here are some pictures of the first snowfall on the farm in 2015:

you can see the rest of the pictures i took in the slideshow on the right hand side of this blog.

thankfully, the snow was pretty easy to shovel. of course, i managed to injure myself anyway. i think i pulled something in my left arm. i probably hurt it yesterday trying to change the water filter in the cellar. thank god i have a wonderful pain tolerance.

it's supposed to get really fucking cold tonight, well below zero. i might have to sleep with the wool socks on tonight.

the World Juniors gold medal game last night was crazy. i stopped watching when Canada got out to a big lead and then i turned back and Russia had cut the lead down to 1. i watched most of the game from there. Canada won 5-4.

Monday Night Raw was disappointing last night. i'm reserving complete judgment to see if all the bullshit from last night leads to something good. of course, given what i think of the company, i don't have much hope for anything good happening.

thankfully, Gotham was fucking awesome last night. the episode had so many twists and turns... edge of the seat type shit for the entire hour. one of the best shows on television.

i think i found the checks i'm going to order when we move. i definitely have to get the Batman checks i found today. too fucking cool.

i have no clue what i'm going to watch tonight. probably some college basketball. maybe i'll catch up on some reading.

i'm planning on breaking out the first poetry submissions of 2015 tomorrow. so, hopefully my arm isn't killing me too much as i have some fucking typing to do.

hope everyone is doing good. hopefully it is warmer where you are. if not, break out the hard stuff for tonight. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

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...

REMINDER... if you'd like to be so kind and get me something for my birthday (Jan. 21st), feel free to get me ANYTHING from my Amazon. com Wish List. you can find a direct link to it on the right hand side of this blog. thanks.
