goodbye to june...

 hard to believe today is the last day of June. i went to bed last night before 2 AM. sadly, all that means anymore is i will be up by 6 AM. sure enough. at least my blood sugar was lower. i got the notice in the mail yesterday why the Rybelsus was denied. apparently, just because a drug is unavailable, doesn't mean you can change over to the another drug in the same class. apparently, the insurance is ok with me going without my medicine and just get so bad you have no choice but to go on insulin for the rest of your life. fuck me.

the New York Yankees lost yesterday at Toronto, 9-3. hopefully, they will split the series today.

the Euro 2024 matches yesterday were good. Switzerland defeated Italy 2-0 and Germany beat Denmark 2-0. today England plays Slovakia and Spain takes on Georgia.

i did watch some of the Copa America games last night. Argentina beat Peru 2-0 and Canada and Chile played to a 0-0 draw. that means Argentina and Canada both advance to the knockout rounds. today, Mexico plays Ecuador and Jamaica takes on Venezuela.

AEW Collision was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Chi and Power Book II: Ghost.

other than soccer, i'm sure i will watch some NASCAR and golf today, all in hopes of getting some more sleep.

i went to Rite Aid yesterday and the pharmacy was closed. so, guess where i'll be going back to today...

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

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

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

adiós a junio

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

the urgency of now...

 that phrase has become a go to in the last few years for me. i try to apply that to everything i do anymore. poetry, sports, watching tv, anything... what i have found is my frustration has simply grown that others don't have the same philosophy. now, i have tried to mend my asshole ways and not take that frustration out on others. but, taking frustration out on myself is an old ass pastime that has never been as productive as i would hope. which leads me to the playoffs last night...

the New York Rangers lost Game 5 last night at home to Carolina, 4-1. considering they went into the third period up 1-0 last night, i'm a little pissed at the lack of urgency they showed in the last 20 minutes. with that being said, they are still up 3-2 in the series. Game 6 will be Thursday night at Carolina.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

The Voice was really good last night. i have no damn clue who is going home tonight.

Monday Night Raw was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, The Voice and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon 10 year anniversary show.

the New York Yankees play tonight in Minnesota.

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

now, tomorrow, everything gets a bit tricky for me. mom has a doctors appointment in the afternoon. i will have to do the grocery shopping after that. that means i am going to try to get the blog done in the morning tomorrow. i also need to go to the bank tomorrow. plus, doing all this in the afternoon means i will miss watching Manchester United play the final home match of the season against Newcastle.

i need to get the trash picked up and figure out what i'm making for dinner tonight.

this rain has been just enough today to be fucking miserable.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

what a day...

 so, on the way to the car dealership this morning, it was snowing. by the time i got out of the dealership, the sun was blazing like it was fucking summer. welcome to Ohio. 

so, the check engine light on the Highlander was about the fuel valve. it needs to be replaced. the part will be in on Friday afternoon and i have to take it in there on Saturday morning (8 AM). i believe this is going to cost over $800. fuck me.

after i got done at the car dealership, i went and met an old friend. we haven't seen each other in over a decade. i gave her the Christmas present that got sent back to me. she looked happy at least. it was good seeing her again. hopefully, it won't be a decade again before the next time.

NXT was really good last night.

the season finale of I Can See Your Voice was good last night.

the New York Rangers lost last night in Minnesota, 5-2.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, AEW Dynamite, The Masked Singer and Snowfall.

i should be on here tomorrow in the afternoon. 

i really need to go ice my back down.

and i suppose while i'm doing that, i'll figure out what i'm making for dinner.

the grocery stores went pretty smoothly today to be honest. i'm just happy when i can spend less than $100 and someone else bags the groceries for me. good times.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the fucking shot.
