so, mom said the landscaper was going to be here between 7 and 8 this morning and that she wanted me to be up. now, i made some spaghetti, chicken and alfredo sauce last night, so i knew i would have a shit load of dishes to do before going to bed. add in the usual 400 emails i have since i only have time to check my emails twice a day. so, i finally fell asleep around 5 this morning. i was up a little after 7. the landscaper got here sometime around 10. to say i am running on fumes today would be an understatement. another landscaping crew came by today and talked mom into getting the trees trimmed up. they got most of the dead out of them. i feel sorry for the birds. they won't have the same protection from the wind anymore.
i totally forgot that the USWNT was playing today. they lost a friendly at Spain, 2-0. that's the first time the USA has lost consecutive games in years. hopefully the ladies understand that the European teams are closing the gap rather quickly.
The Voice was good last night. the blinds are over with and the battles start tonight.
Monday Night Raw was excellent last night.
Avenue 5 was hilarious last night.

the rest of the MLB playoffs started today as well. the Phillies won Game 1 against Atlanta. and Seattle is currently leading Houston.
i need to get the trash picked up and dinner started, so that's all for me kids.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, after i went to the bank today to deposit a check, i decided to go to Meijer. i was hoping to find some baseball cards. i ended up buying a Gypsy Queen box of cards, 1 pack of Diamond Kings and 4 packs of 2022 Topps Series 2. had a couple good cards in the Gypsy Queen box. found a great rookie in the Diamond Kings pack (Oneil Cruz) and found the rookie card i have been hunting for awhile in the Topps packs (Wander Franco). i also got a couple of binders to put some pages of cards in as some of my other binders are getting way too big now. all in all, i spent $75. i think there was somewhere around $60 worth of cards in what i opened today. i was hoping to find some Bowman cards but i didn't have any luck with that.
the Yankees left a small village on base last night and lost to Boston, 5-4, in 11 innings. i hope they win tonight but the way they are playing right now, i won't be holding my breath.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.
AEW Rampage was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Nikki Glaser: Good Clean Filth.
i didn't sleep well last night, but i did get a shave and shower done, so there's that. my arthritis has been acting up today. plenty of rain in the area, just enough to drive me nuts.
i should be on here tomorrow before the Yankees game starts in the afternoon.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
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 socially distant.
get the fucking shot.
prefiero tener suerte que ser bueno

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
the New York Rangers showed life last night, got some great puck luck, and The King stood on his head. he stopped 40 of 41 shots last night and the Rangers won 2-1. this forces the series back out west for Game 5 on Friday. here are the highlights:
the Yankees got a great start from Tanaka (minus the Cano HR in the 9th), a rare 3 run HR from Tex and won 4-2. Tanaka is fucking amazing. he is now 10-1 on the season. worth every fucking penny they spent on him. they go for the sweep tonight.
not sure when the last time i had two victory beers in a night was. feels like weeks. needless to say, i slept well last night.
the World Cup starts today with Brazil vs. Croatia. i think this match will be a little tighter than most people believe it will be.
after that, i really need to get the fucking dishes done. i've been a lazy bastard here for the last few days. of course, i probably will be that way for the next month as well.
tonight, i will be watching a little basketball, some baseball, and god knows what else. chances are i will fall asleep at some point as the weather continues to fuck with my back.
mom got me this cool ass New York Rangers shirt. it arrived today in the mail. has all the players names on it, forming a big NY. pretty damn cool. will be even cooler if they happen to win it all.
that's pretty much all for me today. i'll be on here tomorrow with some World Cup updates, my thoughts heading into Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, some NBA musings, some bathroom humor, maybe some poetry news, and who knows what else.
hope everyone is well. hope everyone enjoys the World Cup. i decided i'm drinking anytime the USA wins (since i'm American), anytime Germany wins (since i'm part German), and anytime a Manchester United player scores (since i'm an alcoholic).
peace and chicken grease my enemies...

last night was a roller coaster of emotions for me. the series between the New York Rangers and the Montreal Crybabies has become so badly officiated that even non hockey fans can tell the league wants Montreal to win so the country of Canada will actually watch the finals. like they aren't going to be watching anyway. amazingly, despite the best efforts of Montreal and all 4 officials last night, the Rangers won 3-2 in OT. a beautiful goal from Martin St. Louis to win it. the Rangers are now 1 win away from going to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 1994. my playoff beard looks ridiculous and i couldn't be more proud. below is the recap to the game:
the Yankees are currently in a rain delay as i type this. i figured i would do this blog now as i know a rain delay in St. Louis could actually be for hours when it only looks like it would be 10 minutes. if it does go long, i suppose i'll just add it to the other stuff i'm watching tonight.
Monday Night Raw, playoff hockey and basketball and god knows what else.
i did catch Penny Dreadful, Californication, and Nurse Jackie last night. i was so wired from the game that i ended up watching them again, after Total Divas, just to make sure i didn't miss anything. so i ended up falling asleep around 4 in the morning. of course, i was up before 8 in the morning. who the fuck needs sleep.
the only real Memorial Day tradition i have is watching the NCAA lacrosse championship. it was a great game this year. Duke was killing Notre Dame early. ND came back to make it a game late, which made it highly entertaining. Duke wins 11-9.
that's all for me kids. i'm going to go take a nap as the weather has heated up here big time. it got up to 87 degrees this afternoon. i closed up the house and turned on the air conditioner. it's comfortable enough in here that i could fall asleep in about 30 seconds. i'm hoping we don't get some storms tonight, like what usually happens when it gets this warm. i'll gladly take the rain for the crops... but i don't need the thunder and lightning and everything else that comes with that.
hope everyone had a great day. hope everyone has a great evening.
peace.
