hard to believe it is July with the windows open...

 i woke up this morning and it was 62 degrees outside. well shit, i turned off the air conditioning and opened some windows. lord knows, this will probably be the only day in July i will be able to do this.

the Yankees won yesterday at Toronto, 8-1. they are off tonight and start a series tomorrow at home against the Reds.

i did watch the Euro 2024 games yesterday. England won 2-1 in extra time over Slovakia. Spain won 4-1 over Georgia. today France is playing Belgium (currently 0-0) and Portugal plays Slovenia.

the Copa America games last night were good. Venezuela defeated Jamaica 3-0. Mexico and Ecuador played a 0-0 draw. that means Venezuela won the group and will take on Canada. Ecuador finished second and they will take on Argentina next. tonight, the USMNT takes on Uruguay and Panama plays Bolivia.

the season finale of The Chi was excellent last night.

Power Book II: Ghost was good last night. the mid-season finale is next week.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Name That Tune and Monday Night Raw.

i need to go to the bank after i get this done.

a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:

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.

the New York Yankees lost yesterday at home to Atlanta, 3-1. they are off tonight and start a series tomorrow night at the Mets.

the USMNT defeated Bolivia 2-0 yesterday in the Copa America. they should have scored 4 or 5 against them.

 so, i got a little more sleep in my bed last night. but, i once again had to go to my chair in the living room to get a little more. and right as i was getting the ice on my back at 7 this morning, it started pouring outside. great.

the Yankees won last night at home against Atlanta, 8-3. hopefully, they will win again this afternoon.

 we're under an excess heat warning all week. joy. and of course, it would be this week, when both mom and i have doctor's appointments and she has two physical therapy appointments. 

the New York Yankees lost last night at Boston, 9-3. sadly, it looks like the Yankees can whip every other team in the league, but struggle against their own division. hopefully, that starts being different soon since they start a series at home against Baltimore tomorrow night.

this is a day that has me torn...

 as most of you know, i had a horrible relationship with my father. So, father's day hasn't really meant anything to me since my stepfather, the first male to ever treat me with any fucking respect, died. but, today also happens to be my mother's birthday. i was hoping that thought would be the prevalent one today. but, as usual with this fucking family, mom is depressed and woe is me ever since last night. so, the breakfast i wanted to make her she doesn't want. yeah, going to be one of those days i guess. the joy of being a poet. ultimately, it is all fucking content. 

that being said, i do hope she likes the gifts i got her.

WWE Clash at the Castle yesterday was excellent.

 i really tried to sleep in my bed last night. i couldn't find a comfortable position for anything. after 45 minutes, i gave up and went out to the living room. if i get some ice on my back in my massage chair, i'm usually out in a few minutes. i got close to 4 hours in that chair last night and a good long nap watching tennis this morning. i guess Dan Soder's line is correct... you want to get some sleep? eat a big meal. it never fails.

i think i am going to go to Rite Aid when i get this done to pick up my pills. i'll make dinner when i get back home.

 the New York Rangers lost last night at Florida, 2-1. that ends their run in the playoffs. i can't wait to see what changes they make this summer. i just hope this isn't another case of wasting another stellar career of a goalie like they did to Henrik Lundqvist. Igor Shesterkin was easily their best player in the playoffs. if they would have got some consistent scoring from their top players in this series, they would have won. but, as i was telling my mother last night, the difference is easy to see. the Rangers don't have any player on that team that would be willing to kill a family member to win the Stanley Cup. Florida has at least five of them. 

the New York Yankees won last night at San Francisco, 7-3. they go for the sweep this afternoon.

paint the town red...

 so, let me start off with the most unexpected thing that happened yesterday. if i had known what was going to happen, i would have put more than fifty cents on the game. Manchester United defeated Manchester City yesterday, 2-1, to win the FA Cup. when Kobbie Mainoo scored to make it 2-0, i felt like i was in a fucking dream. Garnacho scored the first goal for United. to have both goals scored by 19 year olds is something that i hope means good things in the future. City scored late but it truly was a day to paint the town red. i have no clue if ETH keeps his job or not. i won't be surprised if they do fire him. hell, they have fired coaches before after winnings titles. if it was his last game as manager, that is probably the best way he could have gone out. 

the New York Yankees won last night in San Diego, 4-1. they go for the sweep this afternoon.

i'm sure i will watch some of the NBA playoffs today, as well as the Indy 500 and probably some of the NASCAR race as well.

we're supposed to have some strong storms come through today, so i imagine i will be on tornado watch as well. good times.

i need to go ice my back down and try to catch a nap before the Rangers play this afternoon.
