i didn't get to sleep until 5 AM this morning. so, when i got up around 10:45 AM, i was slightly shocked. i don't think i tossed and turned at all while sleeping. amazingly, my back didn't feel like shit either. amazing what a good night of wrestling will do for me.
WWE SummerSlam last night was fucking bonkers. i told my mother, if the first match goes the way i expect, this show is going to have a bit of everything. so, when Dirty Dom turned and helped Liv Morgan and they kissed after screwing Rhea Ripley, i knew this show was going to be fucking crazy. to see how it started to having Roman Reigns come back to the babyface pop that WWE has wanted him to get for over a decade now, just pure fucking perfection. hats off to HHH for making the show feel like it was a mini WrestleMania. just fucking great.
AEW Collision was good last night.
the Yankees won yesterday at home over Toronto, 8-3. hopefully, they will win the series today. they are currently down 2-0.
Manchester United lost last night against Liverpool, 3-0. thank god i didn't watch that.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother and Last Week Tonight.
i will probably just relax today and watch some sports and ice my back down a few times.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
i should be on here tomorrow after mom's physical therapy appointment.
until then kids...

between the Olympics and everything else, it feels like i have a million things going on today. i swear, there aren't enough hours in the day anymore. of course, what that really means is i am getting closer to death. joy.
i did get up in time this morning to watch the USWNT take on Japan at the Olympics. i wish Japan would have played a different style for this game, but i can't blame them for sitting back as much as they did. eventually, the USA did score. Trinity Rodman is truly coming into her own in this tournament. she scored in extra time and the USA won, 1-0. they will now play the winner of Canada and Germany in the semifinals on Tuesday.
the Yankees lost last night at home to Toronto, 8-5. hopefully, they will find a way to win this afternoon.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both good last night. i can't wait for SummerSlam tonight on Peacock.
AEW Rampage was good last night.

i did get some BioFreeze on my back this morning, so it is doing a little better so far today. i guess that will be my future. ointments, creams, ice downs and the ins and outs of misery. joy.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
i don't have a clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

so, i got up this morning to watch the USWNT take on Sweden. wouldn't it figure, the women play their best game of the tournament by a fucking mile and lose on penalty kicks, 5-4. honestly, Sweden's goalie was amazing during the 0-0 120 minutes. what pissed me off the most was the USA missed 3 penalty kicks. and not miss because the goalie made a save, i mean miss because you either missed the fucking net completely or put it off the post trying to be too cute. so fucking frustrating to watch. and the true punch to the dick was the winning kick for Sweden went over the line by maybe a fucking millimeter.
the Yankees won yesterday at home over Houston, 3-1. hopefully, they will win the series this afternoon.

so, i was hoping that SummerSlam was going to be good last night. it wasn't. it was great. you definitely could feel how HHH is going to do things differently than Vince did. and honestly, right from the start of the show, the pacing was better and the oh shit moments were amazing.
the Yankees won yesterday over the Royals, 8-2. Aaron Judge hit another home run. he now has 200 for his career. he's the second fastest to get to that mark in MLB history. he also set the Yankee record for most home runs before August. when you are doing stuff that Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle did, you are having an unreal season. hopefully, the Yankees will get the sweep this afternoon.
the Red Scare lost yesterday in the TBT semifinals. it looked like they ran out of gas in the end.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully, your Sunday will be even better.
thanks to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
so, i'm getting to this much later than i was hoping to, but not because of anything other than my bad back. i took a shower late last night, hoping i could get the thing looser so i could sleep in my bed for a change. needless to say, that didn't happen. so, i slept in the massage chair again. i got something close to 4 hours. that will have to do.
the Yankees won last night over the Royals, 11-5. basically it was the Aaron Judge show. he took away a home run in right field and hit two of his own. that gives him 41 home runs. only he and Babe Ruth have hit 40 or more home runs for the Yankees before August.
Red Scare won last night in the TBT to advance to the semifinals later today. 2 wins away from a million dollars.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.

i did watch a little of the Manchester United game this morning. they lost 1-0 in Norway to Atletico Madrid. i'm not putting much into this as it was a friendly, but the season does start in a week or so.
i'm sure i will watch some MLS games today as well.
with any luck, i'll actually get a chance to do some writing today. hopefully.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

so, the Yankees won yesterday against the Twins, 7-1. today's game got postponed yesterday because of the hurricane/tropical storm in the area. that game will be made up in September i think. the Yankees start a series in Atlanta tomorrow night.
SummerSlam was pretty good last night. i definitely was surprised to see Becky Lynch and Brock Lesnar return. i didn't mind them making Becky the Smackdown women's champ, but the match with Bianca should have lasted longer than 26 seconds. and people wonder why so many of us think Vince is a fucking racist.
ROH was good last night.
Austin City Limits was the Yola episode that never aired on the PBS channel here when it was supposed to. it was excellent.
so i got up this morning and fed the birds and watered the tomatoes and got my breakfast made in time for the Manchester United game. i wasn't pleased with Ole's starting lineup, or the officiating, or the fact that United was too fucking sloppy today at Southampton. now sure, a 1-1 draw keeps the away streak going, but that is two fucking points dropped that will surely come back to haunt them at the end of the season, just like last season.

the New York Yankees defeated Toronto yesterday 1-0. they play a doubleheader today at home against Baltimore.
WWE SummerSlam was good last night. the highlight for me was Bray Wyatt. his new entrance and character is fucking scary as hell. i love it.
Big Brother was pretty good last night. i'd love for Christie to be evicted this week, though i know it's not going to happen.
City on a Hill was excellent last night. i can't wait for the season finale next week.

i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. most likely in the early afternoon, i suppose.
i'm off to my massage chair to ice down a shitty back and watch some baseball.
take it easy kids. then, take it again.

the New York Yankees lost yesterday to Toronto, 5-4. i'm hoping they win today to split the series.
NXT Takeover: Toronto was really, really good last night and then the main event was HOLY FUCKING SHIT great. if that was Johnny Gargano's last match in NXT, what a way to go out. i will go ahead and say it now, i doubt SummerSlam tonight is anywhere near as good as Takeover was.
NJPW was excellent last night. i'm so happy that Ibushi won the A Block.
ROH was good last night.

Manchester United plays Chelsea here in a bit. i have no clue what to expect from United this season. i do believe they have improved their defense, but i'm not sure if addition by subtraction on offense is going to lead to the best results. hopefully, they get a big first win of the season today.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully, your Sunday will be even better.
i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

mom wasn't feeling good at all yesterday. her blood pressure was low and she just casually mentioned that low blood pressure is a sign of a stroke. needless to say, i've been fucking paranoid since. she hasn't shown any other signs, but i am watching her like a fucking hawk.
the New York Yankees won yesterday against Toronto 11-6. they go for the sweep this afternoon.
ROH was excellent last night.
Lynyrd Skynyrd: If I Leave Here Tomorrow was much better than i thought it was going to be last night.

i believe i had been up for 2 hours this morning and had taken 4 shits already. not exactly what i needed on a morning i had to drive my mother to the doctor's office. amazingly, i didn't shit while i was there. but, the second i got back into the house... a sprint to the bathroom. and it's damn near impossible to sprint with your ass cheeks clenched. good times. thankfully, i haven't had to go for a few hours now.
mom is now on pain pills and muscle relaxers, so she's off work for the next few weeks. hopefully between the pills and the chiropractor, she starts to feel better soon. hopefully she doesn't have to go through what i did with my fucked up back.
the New York Yankees lost yesterday 2-0. they got good pitching but no clutch hitting once again. they start a series up in Seattle tonight. if they still hold the illusion of the playoffs inside of them, these are MUST win games.
WWE SummerSlam was long as fuck yesterday. i thought most of the matches were solid, a couple were really good (Cena vs. Styles, Rollins vs. Balor), i now understand why they had Sasha lose to Charlotte (i didn't like the decision yesterday) and i highly doubt the plan was for Brock Lesnar to leave Randy Orton a bloody fucking mess, but it worked out like that. all in all, it was good, but could have been great.
The Voice was a really good preview of just how damn good i think the show is going to be this season. i really like what Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys bring to the show.
Big Brother was pretty funny last night. it will be interesting to see who gets evicted this week.
Power was amazing once again last night. The Night Of was awesome as well. i can't wait to see what the finale holds next week. Ballers was pretty funny, as was Vice Principals. Ray Donovan had a couple twists that i loved. Roadies was really good last night. that finale is next week as well. Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual last night:

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
goes so damn well that time actually flies by. just one crazy ass moment after another that made the night one i probably won't forget for a few weeks at least.
the gold medal match between Germany and Brazil did not disappoint yesterday. i thought for sure Germany would win once it went to penalty kicks, but amazingly, that didn't happen. one huge save and then the biggest goal of Neymar's life. you could tell that finally, the weight of a nation had been lifted from him.
next up was NXT Takeover Brooklyn II. every match had something that was great. i loved that they set up Austin Aries to go against Hideo Itami. dream match coming up there. i can't wait for the world to see what all Ember Moon can do. if that was Bayley's goodbye, i would love to see her show up either tonight or on Monday Night Raw. Bobby Roode's entrance music is beyond fucking GLORIOUS. the tag team match was spectacular. i would have loved to seen Gargano and Ciampa win, but oh well. it was still a great match. and the main event between Nakamura and Samoa Joe was fucking amazing. Nakamura's entrance was spectacular. i might have to get that song on iTunes one of these days. to see the video of the fans singing it after the match as they were leaving the building was amazing. the match itself was stiff, brutal (in a good way) and brilliant. a few false finishes, a few last second kick outs and then one of the most brutal knees to the face i have seen in years. new champion. it's amazing to think that Shinsuke Nakamura is now the NXT champion.
after that i started to watch the New York Yankees game while following UFC 202 on the computer. the Yankees got some great pitching once again and more offense from the kids, Sanchez and Judge, to win 5-1. they go for the sweep of the Angels later today.
once i started to see the pictures from the main event of UFC 202, i knew exactly what the people on the internet were describing. the absolute war between McGregor and Diaz last night. i loved the CM Punk tweet that said they will be best friends after this. 5 rounds of beating the shit out of each other. McGregor won the fight on a majority decision, so of course there will have to be a third fight. overall, from what people were saying, this was the best UFC card in a long time.
ROH last night was really good. nothing like a good 60 minutes of chaos.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Big Brother, Power, The Night Of, Ballers, Vice Principals, Last Week Tonight, Ray Donovan and Roadies.
i will be watching WWE SummerSlam for most of the evening. 13 matches, which is a ridiculous number. i believe the pre-show starts at 5. the end of the show probably won't be until around 11. so, i'm hoping for a great show or at least something that doesn't make me realize that i've been sitting for 6 hours watching pro wrestling.
today is my uncle's 81st birthday. after the cancer diagnosis, i don't think any of us thought he'd make it to this birthday. so, hopefully he has a great one. my sister is down for it, so i'll probably get to chat with her for a bit. we'll probably have to go over mom's health.
mom still has it in her head that she needs to suck it up and go to Columbus. i more or less went off on her after that comment. she's been a damn slave to her job all her life and where the fuck has it got her? she's seen thousands of people lie, cheat and steal and get ahead of her in life, why the fuck is she paying into a system and not taking advantage of it? it amazes me that nice people never realize the cliche is true, they do finish last.
i do plan on watching the gold medal game in basketball between the USA and Serbia today. that should get over in time for me to start watching wrestling. so, there's the rest of my day basically.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday will be even better.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
after thinking about it for a few hours, SummerSlam last night was a decent ppv that had a shitty finish and could have been so much better. the controversial finish between Undertaker and Brock Lesnar was stupid. i suppose this was all to set up another match down the line. if that was the best way WWE creative could up with, then i will send in my application tomorrow. i did like Jon Stewart turning heel and helping Seth Rollins defeat John Cena. i loved how no one on the broadcast said anything about the incredibly loud Thank You Stewart chants. i also enjoyed Kevin Owens defeating Cesaro. that match was great, it was just in the wrong spot on the card. the divas match had no flow in it at all. The New Day have won me over. they are playing the perfect heels. overall, as i figured, it wasn't as good as the NXT event the night before. and it went on for about 90 minutes too long. here's the thoughts of some more qualified people:
Monday Night Raw should be interesting. i figure the WWE will have a few tricks up their sleeves given all the publicity from last night. hopefully the third show from the same venue in 3 days goes out with a bang.
while i was watching wrestling last night, we had some rain come through. so imagine my surprise as i was watching the Sunday night shows and there was certain parts missing from the shows. thankfully, i was able to find most of them on the channels, so i didn't miss much. Big Brother was good. some more creative editing by CBS. the season finales of Ballers and The Brink went as i expected. neither show is "great". The Strain was fucking awesome last night. Ray Donovan and Masters of Sex were both really good. and as usual, Last Week Tonight was great once again:
i don't know what it is with the Yankees inability to beat last place teams, but it happened once again yesterday. and this time, it knocked them out of first place again. a 4-3 loss to a Cleveland team that is playing a ton of guys who no one has heard of before. as one headline writer put it, at least the ceremony was good. i was interested to see if Andy Pettitte was going to mention his HGH use at any point of his speech. he didn't, which didn't surprise me. i think most people have allowed themselves to forget about it. the Yankees play the first place Astros tonight, so maybe they will play like they are playing against a good team. i'm not holding my breath.
i'm currently watching Liverpool and Arsenal play. yet another game where i hope both teams lose.
i was a busy boy on NoiseTrade today. i got some great music for FREE. i'll include the links below in the music section.
since we're on the topic of music, enjoy:
and to round out the creative vibe, some art and some poetry:
on the DVR tonight will be Men in Blazers.
i hope everyone had a great weekend. the weather is supposed to take a turn towards the fall in the next few days. that means we're getting closer to me driving myself even more crazy with fantasy football. good times.

i wrote 4 poems yesterday, completely out of the blue. those 4 poems actually filled up the notebook i've been writing in for the last 15 months. i typed them up and i have to admit, i really like these 4. i will probably include them in my next round of submissions, which i hope to get out before the end of the month.
i guess a little nostalgia helped the New York Yankees yesterday. after the retirement of Jorge Posada's #20, they actually scored some runs for their rookie pitcher. congrats to Severino on his first MLB win as the Yankees won 6-2. they will go for the split in the series today after the retirement ceremony for Andy Pettitte. his #46 will be going into Monument Park.
the wrestling last night was excellent. ROH was great. so great that i'm recording it again today. NXT Takeover: Brooklyn was off the charts great. the women's match between Sasha Banks and Bayley was one of the best women's matches i have ever seen. the storytelling was incredible. i felt sorry for Finn Balor and Kevin Owens to have to go after that one. but the lasting image of this event will be what happened after the women's match.
these 4 ladies are the revolution and i have no doubt they will all succeed in this business. i doubt tonight's SummerSlam will come close to NXT last night. although, i wouldn't mind being wrong about that.
also on the DVR last night was the Austin City Limits performance from Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. always good to have that one on hand just in case i need some inspiration.
enjoy some music and a kick ass poem perfect for a Sunday:
other than SummerSlam tonight, on my DVR will be the season finales of The Brink and Ballers; The Strain, Ray Donovan, Big Brother, Masters of Sex and Last Week Tonight. i have no clue when i will get around to watching all of them.
i helped mom this morning do some work in the flower beds and then put up some shelves in the garage. that certainly helped getting some shit off of the floor in the garage. plus, it will now force mom to go through the shit out there.
i figure at some point today i need to work in a shower and a nap. wrestling is going to be 4 hours long tonight, so i would hope not to be an old man and fall asleep before it's over.
that's all for me today kids. i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday will be even better.
