a trip down memory lane...

 i completely forgot the Yankees play this afternoon, so i thought i should at least try to get the blog done early today.

so, the Rangers decided they were going to show some toughness last night, even though they aren't built that way. there was 6 fights in the game in the first 5 minutes or so. hats off to Brendan Smith for going after Tom Wilson. hats off to Buchnevich for a sneaky little slash on Wilson that i hope broke his fucking hand. the Rangers lost the game, 4-2. they play tonight at Boston, at least whoever doesn't get suspended from last night's game.

the Yankees defeated the Astros last night, 6-3. they go for the sweep this afternoon.

The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.

AEW was fucking crazy as well last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

Manchester United plays at Roma today in the Europa League. they won the first leg 6-2, so United should make it to the finals.

it is supposed to rain today. i'm not looking forward to that.

i have no clue what time i will be on here tomorrow.

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

wear your mask.

get the shot.

i finally found what i was looking for...

 i had to go out and get my prescription today, so i figured i would look for some baseball cards at the Rite-Aid near the Kroger where the pharmacy i use is. well, holy shit. i found some baseball cards, some football cards and some basketball cards. this is the first time i have ever found these basketball cards. and sure enough, the Obi Toppin rookie card i had been looking for, i found in one of the packs. 

the New Orleans Saints played down to their competition yesterday and fucking lost to a shitty Eagles team, 24-21. and since Green Bay won, the Saints no longer have the #1 seed in the NFC. just fucking great.

Power Book II: Ghost was really good last night.

Shameless was hilarious last night.

Your Honor was really good last night.

Desus & Mero was fucking great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, night 1 of the season finale of The Voice and Industry. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i did listen to episode 321 of Notsam Wrestling this afternoon. you can listen to that by going here:

i've been up since 5 this morning. i got mom to her appointment on time, at least the time she thought it started. she was supposed to be there a hour before that time. thankfully, her colonoscopy went smoothly. the doctor didn't see any polyps this time. i got her some food after the appointment and she has more or less slept the rest of the day. i haven't been so lucky.

i'm toying with doing the grocery shopping tomorrow since we're supposed to have a winter storm on Wednesday. 

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

thanks to everyone who checked out the 6 poems i got published yesterday. i really do appreciate it.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. 

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

there's not enough hours in the day...

my body is at the point where doing 3 fucking things in one day is probably going to need the assistance of cocaine. between taking mom to the doctor, shopping at Menards and going to the grocery store... my body needs an ice bath or a bottle of booze. i'm trying to take it easy with the alcohol as i know mixing it with muscle relaxers can be tricky. i'm not quite as young as my imagination likes to believe i am.

we got everything we needed at Menards and the grocery store today. of course, today would be the day it got hot and sticky. mom nearly passed out when we came out of Menards. my left leg started killing me when i woke up this morning. the muscle relaxers helped some, but not enough for what i was doing today.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night.

the New York Yankees start a series tonight at home against the Angels. hopefully they will do to them what they did in California, sweep them.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW, Major League Wrestling, Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas and Mauro Ranallo: Bipolar Rock & Roller.

i will probably watch some of the NBA playoffs tonight. it could be LeBron's last game in Cleveland... again.

i will probably be on here tomorrow before the Champions League final. i will be rooting so damn hard for Real Madrid tomorrow.

i hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend. if you are traveling, be safe. leave the drinking to the professionals.

you would think the world is ending tomorrow...

the way people were acting in the grocery store this afternoon, you would think the snow they are calling for is actually the end of the world sneaking up on us. the store was out of shit left and right. it was like people lined up this morning to pick through everything. on top of that, it has been raining all fucking day. so you can just imagine the joy i have had today.

on to the poetry news. i sent out 37 poems this morning. 3 each to The Beatnik Cowboy and The Apache Poetry Blog (already heard from); 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash (already heard from), Brief Wilderness, Duane's PoeTree (already heard from), Synchronized Chaos (already heard from) and Misfit Magazine; 6 poems went to The Record magazine. when i hear back from the rest of these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

NXT was really good last night.

Total Divas was pretty good last night.

The X-Files was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, Life in Pieces and Will & Grace.

i have had a splitting headache since i woke up this morning. i get the feeling i may have to drink myself to sleep tonight.

i'm definitely not going to the basketball game tomorrow night after the latest forecast. we're supposed to get a nice thick layer of ice before we get anywhere from 2 to 6 inches of snow. oh great. you would have no clue it's going to turn to that after today with it in the fucking 50's and rainy.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast this morning. you can check that out by going here: http://notsam.com/wrestlingpodcast/2018/1/11/wrestling-podcast-168-dalton-castle

that's all for me kids.

busier than 9 cats covering up shit in a windstorm... on Good Friday

i almost got 6 hours of sleep last night. almost. i got up this morning, i knew my blood sugar was going to be high as i had some alcohol and some chips late last night. at least it wasn't sky high, so it's all good. the doctor told me today that my numbers look much better and he hopes they continue to improve. after i did the dishes i had breakfast. and then became the struggle to how the fuck i was going to get everything done today while swimming in this fucking abyss of depression and pain. it didn't rain today, but it was certainly close enough that i have had a nagging ache from head to toe all damn day. joy.

i had to go to 2 different grocery stores today. mom likes the coleslaw and macaroni salad from our grocery store in town. after i got that done, it was a trip to the big grocery store. that was a little crazy as there was a ton of people shopping. all getting ready for Easter i suppose. my goal was to spend less than $150 on everything today. apparently i haven't hit my deductible on my health insurance yet as my pills put me over my number. fuck.

the New York Yankees got some great pitching last night and just enough offense from Aaron Hicks to sweep Tampa 3-2. they start a series tonight at home against St. Louis.

The Big Bang Theory was hilarious last night.

Life in Pieces was very fucking funny last night.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW.

the New York Rangers play Game 2 tonight up in Montreal. i'm hoping they can steal another game up there and really put the pressure on the Canadiens.

i'll be watching that for most of the night, probably flipping over to the Yankees during intermissions.

i did get the new Kendrick Lamar album this morning on iTunes. it's as good as everyone is saying. after a few listens, i can honestly say it's fucking amazing.

i hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. for you religious folks, i hope you find a deeper meaning in this weekend than coloring eggs and eating chocolate. for the rest of us, enjoy your candy.

what a crazy day

when a day involves an assassination that makes you think of WWI and 2 other incidents in Europe that will most likely be terrorist acts, it certainly makes you wonder when WWIII is going to start. and how many in this country are going to be fucking crazy when they find out we are helping Russia fight it. i certainly imagine anyone old enough to remember Russia being the sworn enemy forever isn't going to be happy helping the former head of the KGB with a war. of course, i'm probably get way ahead of myself, i doubt many Americans actually know that Putin was once the head of the KGB.

my thoughts to everyone in Turkey, Berlin and Zurich. i would say prayers but religion is killing us all.

i did write some more poems today, of course. i typed up all 3 of them this afternoon. i really, REALLY like all 3 of them. i'll probably send them out in early 2017. i really want the rest of this year to just be a writing period.

WWE Roadblock: End of the Line was pretty good last night. i thought Sam Roberts did a great job on the pre-show. i loved that The New Day lost the tag titles to Sheamus and Cesaro. a heel Neville is exactly what the Cruiserweights need. i wasn't in love with Charlotte winning over Sasha Banks, but if that sets up Bayley winning the title down the line, i'm ok. i am happy that Kevin Owens is still the Universal Champion, although i really didn't need another Shield reunion tease with Reigns and Rollins putting Jericho and Owens through tables. all in all, not a bad way to end the shitty year of 2016.

i figured if i picked against the New Orleans Saints yesterday they would win. i was correct. Drew Brees had a monster game and the Saints beat Arizona 48-41.

the New York Rangers won in a shootout yesterday over the Devils, 3-2. the Rangers never had a lead in the game, so stealing that one is a little bit sweeter. they play again tomorrow night against Pittsburgh.

the season finale of Shameless last night was excellent. i absolutely loved it.

The Affair was excellent as well last night. Brendan Fraser was creepy as fuck once again.

the Motorhead: Clean Your Clock special last night only reminded me how much i miss Lemmy.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The Wall (Game Show). i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

adding to this crazy day, the fucking sun made an appearance. i was actually able to walk down to the street and get the paper and mail without having the fear of walking on ice for a change.

i will be making yet another fucking trip to the grocery store tomorrow. my sister comes down on Wednesday, so lord knows i have to go get shit she wants and what mom wants. sounds like another pit stop in the liquor store again.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. if not. climb the tallest tree you can find and then contemplate the joy of falling.
