welcome to the weekend...

 today has been a long one. i got my usual 4 hours of sleep, but it has been raining on and off for most of the day. so, my arthritis has been fucking raging. joy. i did take mom to get her injection. after that, i had to go to Rite Aid to get my prescription. amazingly, the guy that mows our lawn found a dry hour to get that done today. 

the New York Yankees lost last night at home to Seattle, 10-2. they start a series tonight at home against the Texas Rangers.

the guy that came out to give us an estimate for our kitchen seemed pretty cool. if we go with him, the kitchen will look very different than it does now. i'm not opposed to that.

NJPW was really good last night.

i did watch the NBA Draft last night. i was so happy with pick #52...

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Painting with John. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

i will probably be on here sort of early tomorrow as i need to go to Menards. i'm low on bird food and have some rebates to cash in.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i'm hoping the weather here will be a little better.

i need to go figure out dinner, so that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

happy 4/20 everyone... puff puff pass...

 there are days where i truly miss smoking weed. those days are usually the ones filled with pain. if i had a place to get weed legally closer to me, i would be so fucking high right now. 

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

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

the New York Yankees defeated the Angels last night, 3-2, in 10 innings. hopefully, they will win the series this afternoon.

the USMNT and Mexico played to a 1-1 draw last night.

AEW Dynamite was pretty good last night.

The Masked Singer was basically a recap show last night.

the series finale of Snowfall was excellent last night. i love that they kept the ending as real as possible. they didn't go for anything real flashy, knowing that reality has its own sobering sorrow.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and NJPW.

the New York Rangers play Game 2 at New Jersey tonight. hopefully, they will find a way to win and go up 2-0 in the series.

Manchester United plays this afternoon against Sevilla in Spain. it is a MUST WIN game to advance in the Europa League.

i need to go back to the grocery store today for some stuff that wasn't on the list yesterday. plus, i believe mom has pills ready. i'll get those on the way back from her doctor's appointment.

i should be on here tomorrow after mom has physical therapy. hopefully, i will have poems to type up.

i hope everyone has a great day.

welcome to National Poetry Month...

 i'm going to try highlight one poet a day for every day this month. this will make no rhyme or reason, just basically who the fuck i like or who i can find links and videos for. and no, i won't highlight myself, even though i probably should.

as for today, the poet of the day will be John Sweet. as many of you know, John is my favorite living poet on this planet and has been for quite some time. if you have never read his work, do yourself a favor and buy a damn book and enjoy...

so, i had to take mom to a doctor's appointment this afternoon. her blood pressure is still high, so they are putting her on two new medications. oh joy. i will have to get those tomorrow, whenever they are ready. i'll be going to the bank tomorrow as well.

AEW was fucking great last night. i enjoyed the whole damn show.

NXT was really good last night. 

The Masked Singer was crazy once again last night.

Snowfall was excellent last night.

speaking of snowfall, we had some fucking snow today. crazy as hell, it was 70 the other fucking day and today it was in the 20's.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Young Sheldon, The United States of Al, B Positive, Clarice and Cake. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on Peacock.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Buffalo. they ended their losing streak last night, so i'm hoping the Rangers start another one for them tonight.

i did watch most of the New York Yankees game this afternoon against Toronto. the Yankees had plenty of chances to win the game late, but could never get the clutch hit. Toronto won, 3-2 in 10 innings. not exactly how i wanted the season to start, but it is way more fucking important how you finish the season anyway.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from the bank and getting mom's new medications. it's going to feel like winter again here tomorrow, so i'm sure i'm going to be achy all damn day. joy.

that's all for me kids.

thanks to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:

i didn't sleep well last night (shocker) and i had a good power nap after i made breakfast this morning. now, the rest of my day, while it is nice and sunny outside, i'll be doing my laundry. joy.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

the season finale of Betty was excellent last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty funny last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH, Austin City Limits and Yvonne Orji: Momma, I Made It.

my power nap earlier was of course aided by watching some of the Bundesliga this morning.

i'm going to try to get a little writing done today and then get some poems ready for my next round of submissions next week.

i should be on here in the morning tomorrow. between wrestling and everything else going on in the world and the Sunday night shows; the morning is probably my only shot at getting the blog done tomorrow.

until tomorrow kids...

fuck the police.

as i stood at the front window watching it snow this afternoon, i said to my mother that it's a damn good thing i did the grocery shopping when i did i guess.

i was able to get everything on the grocery list this afternoon at the store. it seemed like everyone has finally gotten used to the "new" normal. and i was able to keep the bill under $100.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

Dark Side of the Ring and After Dark were both excellent last night.

WWE Backstage was good last night.

Vice News Tonight aired a special last night that was about Italy's response to COVID-19. i highly urge everyone to watch it.

enjoy some music:

the WWE let a ton of people go today, including a few of my favorites. this plague is now really fucking with my life.

i'll probably be on here tomorrow after i get some poems out and go to the bank to deposit a check.

hopefully the weather decides to actually feel like Spring one of these days.

maybe i'm getting close to the end...

today has been one of those days i feel like i'm stuck in neutral. nerve pain is sort of making me delirious a bit. it's fun to type when it feels like your right arm is being held in a vice. and i just had lunch at 5 PM. these are the days where i wish i could do enough drugs that i would wake up a different person on Friday.

i did watch part 1 of I Love You, Now Die last night. watching some of that home footage was like a punch to the gut. part 2 should be rather interesting tonight as well.

Smackdown was great last night. and i love what they are doing with Kevin Owens.

205 Live was pretty good last night.

Deadliest Catch was crazy last night.

i did watch a little of the All-Star game last night. love that Tanaka got the win and Chapman got the save for the American League. hopefully, that's a sign for good things to come for the New York Yankees in the second half.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, part 2 of I Love You, Now Die, Snowfall and Big Brother. i will watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network. i watched NXT UK this afternoon, it was pretty good.

i guess we're supposed to get some storms tonight and tomorrow. so, i'll probably be in my massage chair trying to sleep or let the ice freeze my spine. that tends to help me with my nerve pain.

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

you would think i would be dead by now...

it was yet another night where i didn't fall asleep until after 4 in the morning. it's almost like insomnia and depression are the same anymore. good times.

the New York Yankees pissed away yet another lead last night and lost to the White Sox, 9-6 in 7 innings. thank god the rain got so bad they called the game. that's 4 losses in a row. joy.

i am absolutely shocked that Columbus won both games down in Tampa in the NHL playoffs. holy shit. halfway to one of the biggest upsets i can think of in NHL history.

i did watch some of the other games as well.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

NJPW was excellent last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was really good last night.

Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas was brilliant once again last night.

my sports docket today is pretty full. between Manchester United, the New York Yankees, the NBA and NHL playoffs, the Masters and the national championship game of college hockey, it's going to be a pretty fucking full day.

i saw two absolutely stunning women in the grocery store today. both looked at me and turned away in disgust. suddenly, i remember exactly what high school felt like. good times.

mom had both physical and occupational therapists out here today. she did really good. so, in a week, it will be onto outpatient physical therapy. i guess i'll be writing more poems in waiting rooms again.

the New York Yankees finally won last night, 8-4. thank fucking god. hopefully they win again tonight.

NXT was really good last night.

Lucha Underground was great once again last night.

Lip Sync Battle was pretty fucking funny last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight.

i will spend most of the night watching the NBA draft.

i wasn't really surprised with the selections for the NHL expansion draft last night. i think Las Vegas will have a pretty good team. it's obvious they want to build from the draft.

i did listen to the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast this morning. i loved the interview with Alexa Bliss. you can find the podcast by going here:

i guess we're going to get a ton of rain over the next few days. fucking great.

if i can tell rain coming from a couple hundred miles away because of my arthritis at age 41, what the fuck is it going to be like when i'm in my 50's or god forbid, my 60's?

i did see a little of the 1-1 draw between Cameroon and Australia today. i watched the first half of Germany and Chile before i went to the grocery store. i saw the game ended with the same score as when i left, 1-1. the Confederations Cup group play will end this weekend. i don't think any team has qualified for the semifinals yet, so it should be interesting.

that's all for me today kids. i need to go make dinner and ponder if heroin will take away my arthritis.

another long day

i knew i wanted to get the grocery shopping done before the storms come tonight. but, i had no clue mom was going to hand me a scroll of items to go get. amazingly, i did manage to keep it under $100 (thanks to some coupons). i didn't take much time to enjoy the scenery today at the store. it's too damn hot and humid today. i wouldn't be shocked if we don't have some strong storms tonight.

the New York Yankees won yesterday 5-0 over Seattle. a great outing from Tanaka and Gary Sanchez went deep again. he even got walked intentionally twice later in the game. looks like someone is going to be a star. the Yankees are off today and start a series at home against Baltimore tomorrow.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. i think Victor will get voted out tonight and then either him or Paulie will walk right back into the house when the jury come back competition happens tonight. it should be interesting.

Tyrant was great last night. the old adage is always true: absolute power always corrupts.

NXT was mostly some highlights from Takeover Brooklyn II and the two dark matches before the event. it will be interesting to see what happens in the coming weeks.

the CWC was spectacular last night. all 3 matches were great. they are now down to the final 8. i don't think there will be a less than fucking awesome match from here on out. Tozawa vs. Gran Metalik, Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Noam Dar, Brian Kendrick vs. Kota Ibushi and TJ Perkins vs. Rich Swann. 4 amazing matches. i can't wait.

well, i got my fantasy football shit all lined up this morning. i even got some early fantasy hockey shit going.

the birthday gift i got my sister should be here in the next couple of days. i think she's going to like it.

i saw this today and thought it was rather appropriate:

i saw the New York Rangers made a very smart depth move today, signing Brandon Pirri. yet another guy with something to prove with plenty of speed. that's one thing they shouldn't lack this season, if they stay healthy. they have speed on every line now.

that's all for me kids. i really need to take a shower. i've been up since before 7 this morning as mom had an early appointment at the chiropractor's office.

until we meet again.

tossing and turning all night long

right before i pulled the shades down last night, i saw this cat go over and start sniffing by the sewer. i look at cats now as ghosts. i used to have so many and damn near every cat i see i can see something that reminds me of one of the farm cats. not sure if that was why i was tossing and turning all night long, but it's as good a reason as any.

mom and i went to the grocery store this morning. we left sometime after noon. that should explain everything.

the New York Yankees lost 5-3 last night. hopefully they will lose again this afternoon, although i truly fucking hate losing to the Red Sox.

NJPW was excellent last night. 3 title matches from back in September of 2015. a great hour of wrestling.

Treehouse Masters was pretty cool last night. i think if i ever come back for another life, all i want is a treehouse that gets me completely off the grid; a pool table and a little place to cook food from the solar garden below.

Manchester United played their first preseason game today. judging from everything i've read, things went well.

not sure if it's supposed to rain today or not. my body is saying yes you fucker, it's going to rain cats and dogs. the sky of course is sunny. this is what misery is like.

i need to go get some lunch and then maybe do a little writing.

with the weekend in sight...

well, i can tell the economy around here still sucks. i went to sell some music today and got $2 per CD. and trust me, i was selling the good shit today. but, beggars can't be choosers, so i took the $32 and came back home. that money will either be spending money in Cleveland or alcohol money beforehand. i guess time will tell.

i got a good laugh today watching this white woman cross the street while i was driving through a black neighborhood on my way to the record store. she was casually trying to cross in a 45 mph zone where most people are driving 60. when i saw her i laughed, said this is why people get hit here. he who hesitates loses. never forget those words.

i did watch most of the NBA Draft last night. i'm not sure what Sacramento was doing. they got a decent return for trading the 8th pick in the draft, but it appears to me they wasted most of it with some shitty draft selections. now, i do like the player they got from Syracuse as i remember he torched Dayton in the NCAA tournament. of course, maybe the team likes not making the playoffs. who knows.

i did see that the Dayton Flyers got a commit yesterday from someone that probably shouldn't be going to Dayton. when you get a 4 star recruit that is the younger brother to a NBA star to pick your school over Florida, you know you're doing something right. welcome to Dayton Kostas Antetokounmpo.

i didn't mind seeing Glenn leave Big Brother last night. the oldest cast member rarely does well on the show. it does appear that the newbies are totally fucking clueless how this game works. i expect the veterans to run the house easily for the first few weeks or so.

Lip Sync Battle was fucking hilarious last night.

WWE Smackdown was pretty good last night. but i'm definitely ready for the show to go live.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW and Vice.

the New York Yankees start a series tonight against Minnesota. hopefully they... fuck, it doesn't matter.

i might watch some of the NHL Draft tonight. unless a miracle happens, the New York Rangers won't have a first round pick tonight.

i'm going to go to the grocery store as soon as i get this done. hopefully, i find some summer beers.

that's all for me today. i'll be on here early tomorrow, hopefully before the Saturday of soccer gets underway.

one of these days i'll get to sleep forever...

i believe a cold front moved through overnight, as i tossed and fucking turned all night long. not exactly the kind of sleep i wanted going into a day i knew i would be sending out some poems. i'd like to think i do my best work when i'm feeling my best. of course, if that was true, my work has been shit for the last few years. no comments from the peanut gallery please.

i sent out 12 poems today; 6 to ZYX and 3 each to Dead Snakes and In Between Hangovers. i'll post the verdicts when i hear back from these places.

the New York Yankees pissed away lead after lead last night. thankfully, they are finally starting to show some heart and some fucking resolve. they battled back each time and eventually won 10-7. they will go for another series win in the game tonight.

The Voice is now at the point of the season where everyone left is talented enough to win the whole thing. of course, that wouldn't have been the case if Nick would have stayed last night.

there are now 8 left in the competition. i could see 6 of them winning the whole thing.

Deadliest Catch was pretty damn interesting last night.

i did catch the overtime of the Capitals vs. Penguins last night. i laughed when Pittsburgh scored to eliminate Washington. i have to think that Ovechkin knows at this point he's never going to win it all in Washington. perhaps they trade him to a certain team in New York that they once traded Jagr to. just a thought. the Penguins will now play Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference Final. i'll only watch because there are ex-Rangers on each team.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Lucha Underground. i'll watch NXT and some other shit on WWE Network tonight. also, i'll flip between some baseball and a Game 7 in the NHL.

i had an interesting talk at the post office today. i wasn't expecting the person behind the counter to tell me about her drug problem. her eyes got a little wide when i told her my pain tolerance is such that i can take 3 Percocets and they won't even phase me. i told her i'm not going to become an addict just so i don't feel pain. i was about to explain my theory on finding the pleasure in the pain but an old lady walked in. but i imagine the poems are going to get interesting.

today has been one of those days where the arthritis has won most of the day. when the body aches just sitting, you know it's a no win situation.

i listened to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. i highly recommend checking out his interview with EC3. it's a must listen.

waiting in line at Waffle House

i'm not a big fan of crowds, waiting in line, people in general, etc. so when i drove my mother and sister up to Waffle House this morning and the parking lot was full, the first thing i thought was i forgot pen and paper. this is poem making material. now, i have a tendency when i get around people to hear all the conversations going on at once. then i sort of pick and choose what to listen to. so there was one guy that spent all morning mowing grass and there's the other who had a buddy go to Las Vegas to get rich and then the woman coughing up a lung who wanted a little more sugar in her coffee. the only problem with this tendency is i go silent while doing it. so i'm not the greatest companion in this type of situation. good thing both my mother and sister know i'm an asshole, so it's not a big deal. amazingly, we were in and out of Waffle House in a little over 30 minutes. after that, i drove out to the old farm to see the damage. they are still in the process of selling off the old barns; most of the structure of the old hog barn is still up. and to think i spent damn near half my life out at that place. i have to admit, the lane is much better now. the rest, i'm not a fan of.

the New York Yankees put me to sleep yesterday in the first 5 innings. i woke up after all the good shit in the 6th. when i fell asleep they were losing 3-0. when i saw they were winning 4-3 i had to go get the tablet and see what happened. HUGE home runs from McCann and A-Rod gave the Yankees the lead yesterday. they played tack on baseball and eventually won 6-4. that wins the series against Tampa. they now face Baltimore this afternoon. Toronto won again yesterday, so the Yankees have to be in the keep winning mentality, no matter what. after the Baltimore series, the Blue Jays come to town.

the Sunday night shows were good last night. Big Brother was pretty funny. i'm wondering how much of the last two days is going to make the Wednesday show. The Strain was excellent last night. Ray Donovan was excellent as well. it also peeled another layer off the onion last night that should make the rest of the season very interesting. Masters of Sex was good.

i did not sleep well last night at all. i had some horrific dream that i woke up to screaming in my head at 3 in the morning. i believe i talked myself to sleep after that and all i remember is a plane ride with an old girlfriend that ended up crashing. maybe this was all from the chocolate cake last night.

anyone else need some music?

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw as i will be watching Ohio State seek some revenge against Virginia Tech. after all that is over, i'm going to try to catch this on the WWE Network:

my sister goes back home today. she's over at my uncle's right now. tomorrow is her birthday. i think she had a better weekend than she thought she was going to.

i hope everyone has a safe and happy Labor Day. enjoy whatever you have planned. watch for the police as they will be out in force trying to catch people drinking and driving. so as usual, either have a designated driver or you better be the designated drunk driver.

for those of you not celebrating a three day weekend, remember that Mondays suck until you break out the vodka. then, not too bad.

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...
