i remember when rain used to put me asleep...

i was doing a little poetry work last night, trying to figure out where my next 15 poems would be going. right as i finished up, it started pouring. i hate when it rains at night anymore. pain isn't good for getting any kind of sleep. good times.

i'll probably send the poems out early this week.

Austin City Limits was good last night. it was the Gary Clark Jr. episode i mistakenly deleted awhile back.

ROH was very good last night.

listen to some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be two episodes of The Last Dance, Batwoman, the season finale of Westworld, the finale of Atlanta's Missing and Murdered:The Lost Children, Insecure, Last Week Tonight, VICE, Billions and Penny Dreadful:City of Angels.

mom had me go out and get breakfast this morning from Wendy's. amazingly, the drive-thru line went much faster than i was expecting. i was 8 cars back when i got in line. the food wasn't that bad. the seasoned potatoes were probably the best thing i had. all in all, not that expensive, and probably better than i expected it to be.

i'm hoping to catch up on some sleep today. i know once mom gets done with the load of laundry she's doing, i'm taking a shower.

i'll probably be on here in the afternoon tomorrow.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday is even better.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

until tomorrow...

el domingo no ha sido un día divertido en muchos años

falling asleep right before the sun comes up...

Sunday nights are the night where i might as well figure i won't be going to bed until the sun is coming up. between all the shows i want to watch and feel like i really need to at this point in time, i was watching television from 7:45 last night until after 4 in the morning. this is what i get for being a lover of art and sports. this is also why i will probably be dead before i get to 50. i don't sleep.

the series finale of Homeland was really good last night. i thought for a second i was going to be really pissed, but the ending kind of brought me back from the ledge.

Batwoman was good last night.

both episodes of The Last Dance were excellent last night.

VICE was good last night.

Atlanta's Missing and Murdered:The Lost Children was fascinating last night. it was also a reminder why i have never trusted the police or the justice system in this country.

Westworld was excellent last night. i can't wait for the season finale next week.

Insecure was really, really good last night.

Penny Dreadful: City of Angels was excellent last night. i can't wait to see where this season goes.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Axios, The Voice, Songland and Desus & Mero. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i did listen to episode 288 of Notsam Wrestling today. you can find that by going here:

today has been one of those days where i wish i could have slept for 10 or 12 hours or so. and of course, i'll have my energy back tomorrow and it will be fucking raining.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

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

stay healthy kids. wash your fucking hands...

just another rainy Sunday...

so it started raining last night and still is as of this afternoon. joy.

i've been doing my laundry most of today. i woke up to some startling news.

first off, the New Orleans Saints traded back into the 7th round yesterday of the NFL Draft to select QB Tommy Stevens. he's a bit of a Taysom Hill clone, so i can see why they did it. and then this morning, the news broke that the Saints are going to sign Jameis Winston to a 1 year contract. talk about waking up in bizarro land. he's taking less money to go to the Saints. he must have seen what the Saints did for Teddy Bridgewater. the Saints also extended Taysom Hill today. 2 years and $21 million i believe. all in all, i like what the Saints did in the draft. i like some of the undrafted free agents they have signed. hopefully, this will be the year they win that elusive second Super Bowl.

i wrote 3 poems last night. i really like all 3 of them. if i get a wild hair up my ass, i might try to get some more poems out before the month is over.

i'll be right back, need to go fold some clothes...

i'm back. last load of laundry is now in the dryer. that should get done before i make dinner tonight.

mom has given me the cooking duties now. so, my imagination is going to have some fun. not too much, as my mother's palate stinks. so yeah, i'm hoping to do more than just get takeout most nights.

i guess tomorrow is supposed to be the only day without rain for the next three or four. joy.

i hope everyone had a good Saturday. i hope your Sunday has been even better.

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

until then kids...

stay healthy, wash your fucking hands...

my bones tell me that rain is on the way, so this will probably be one of those days where i try to write the misery away.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. judging by the fridge this morning, i might have to go to the grocery store tomorrow.

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

as many of you know by now, i'm not a big believer of religion or organized religion. it was forced upon me as a child. i was baptized so my grandmother would see it before she died. i have always thought that since it was done on April Fool's Day, there could be no other parallel to describe my relationship with god. that being said, i don't fault anyone who believes. it's a matter of choice. i just happen to believe in choice, while so many Christians do not, no matter what bullshit they tell themselves. and i will have a slight smile when i hear about all the new cases of COVID-19 because some stubborn fucking fools decided they needed to be in a church on Easter Sunday.

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

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

it's supposed to start raining here soon. and then it is supposed to become strong storms tonight. joy.

night 2 of WrestleMania 36 was better than night 1 was. and as much as i loved the Boneyard match on night 1, The Firefly Fun House match between John Cena and Bray Wyatt was beyond fucking brilliant. for every wrestling fan around my age, if you weren't laughing from all the references and the shots taken at the business, please stop watching. kudos to WWE for pulling off an event that was way better than i think anyone ever thought they could do given the circumstances.

Atlanta's Missing and Murdered:The Lost Children was really good last night. i know a little about the story already, so i'm really hoping the documentary will fill in the blanks over the next few weeks.

Westworld was excellent last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

VICE was really good last night.

Homeland was good last night.

Black Monday was pretty funny last night.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

night 1 of WrestleMania 36 got off to a slow start. i thought the matches were not that different from Raw or Smackdown. about halfway through the night, that all changed. and by the time the Boneyard match between The Undertaker and AJ Styles was over, it was a very enjoyable night. i really hope tonight will be more of the same...

ROH was very good last night.

i finally figured out how to get the WWE Network on the television in the living room. so, i didn't have to watch night 1 while sitting at my computer.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday is even better.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i know it will probably be sometime between loads of laundry.

until tomorrow kids...
