i got my usual 4 hours of sleep last night. but, this time, i got it all at once. i didn't wake up every 45 minutes or so. amazingly, i actually felt refreshed waking up this morning. what a concept.
so, i lost 2 sweet sixteen teams yesterday. if that is all i lose and i get 14 of the 16 right, i will be happy. i doubt i will get that lucky today.
the Dayton Flyers lost yesterday at Chattanooga, 87-72. that ends the college careers of 5 players. who knows how many transfer out or in. i just know the team will look different next season.
the New York Rangers won yesterday at home over Vancouver, 5-3.
i did watch plenty of college basketball yesterday.
AEW Collision was ok last night. part 2 is on tonight.

i woke up this morning and did my usual shit... piss, blood sugar, new pill, make coffee, etc. i went to take some trash out to the garage and walked right through a damn spider web. talk about a what the fuck moment. i made sure to let the Orkin guy know that there is definitely some spider(s) in the garage. other than that, i have caught up on a little sleep today. i've been able to open the house up and really let it air out some. i did write 2 poems yesterday. i think they are pretty good. sadly, i am falling back into that abyss of struggling to find the words again. i hate when i try to write and i am just going through the motions. even if what i produce is good, i still will only think it is shit because it didn't excite me. yeah, good times.
Big Brother 26 was good last night. i liked the 8 last night much better than the first night.
NJPW was good last night. kind of shocked at the title change to be honest.
your time is running out to have the chance to win a FREE copy of the book i did with Casey Renee Kiser:
so, when the New York Rangers started the 3rd period last night down 3-1 at Carolina, i told my mother it was going to take one hell of a third period for the Rangers to close out the series. well, Chris Kreider said hold my beer and took over the game. he scored a natural hat trick to take the lead and the Rangers eventually won the game, 5-3. that clinched the series, 4-2. now, they will face either Boston or Florida in the Eastern Conference final.
here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

i'm sure i will watch some of the NHL and NBA playoffs tonight.
it did rain for a little bit today. i'm sure mom didn't mind as she finally got her plants planted outside. she was really happy that i trusted her enough to go to Rite Aid and get my pills yesterday while she was outside doing the plants on the back porch. now, to be honest, my nerves were raging, but i figured as long as i don't put the thought of her falling out into the universe, she would be fine. thankfully, she was.
i will probably take a shower after i get this done and then make dinner. i'm thinking i might do nachos tonight.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

when i got up to take a piss this morning, it was 8:30 AM. i went to bed at 5 AM. i was tempted to fall back asleep, but i didn't. i put the dishes away, made some coffee and got going with my day. probably a good thing as the guys came to do the gutters around 10 AM. so, now we have leaf guards on the gutters. that should help with the squirrels and whatever else. i did manage a bit of a nap in my massage chair. but a 20 minute power nap didn't do that much for me.
here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:
the New York Rangers won last night at Washington, 4-2. they won the series 4-0. they will now play the winner of Carolina and the New York Islanders. i would love if that series goes 7 games.

the freezing rain we were supposed to get last night and into this morning wasn't as bad here as i was expecting. now, it hasn't helped my arthritis any, but at least i didn't have to ice skate out to the mailbox. the trip to Rite Aid last night went smoothly. i actually got some baseball and basketball cards there. the baseball cards had 2 decent cards in the box. the 2 packs of basketball cards were much, much better.
had a really good conversation with the spanish princess last night. and i heard from the muse today. i was a little worried when i didn't hear from her on my birthday.
Monday Night Raw was really good last night. might have been the best show before the Royal Rumble i can remember in years. i was a little shocked when i saw the news this morning that starting in January of 2025, Raw will be moving to Netflix. i don't use Netflix, so as i told my mother, i will only be jumping on that if all of WWE is going on there. she's probably happy that now her Monday nights won't consist of 3 hours of pro wrestling.

mom ordered some new chairs for the kitchen. they arrived today via FedEx. luckily, i was in the kitchen and saw the truck pull up. i had him put this big ass box in the garage. so, as soon as this is done, i get to open that and hope it is what she ordered.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
i am hoping all this fucking rain will be out of the area by then. it is supposed to be close to 50 degrees tomorrow. so, i guess i won't need my winter coat.

the New York Rangers play Game 4 tonight in Tampa. considering Colorado swept Edmonton last night, i would love for the Rangers to be taking a 3-1 lead back to MSG after tonight. if they are going to do that, they will need to play 60 minutes of hockey. there can be no passengers, no stupid penalties and they MUST not put all of this on their goaltender.
the New York Yankees play tonight in Minnesota. hopefully they will extend their winning streak to 7 games.
i do plan on watching some soccer this afternoon, probably while i'm doing the dishes.
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:
last night was one of those nights. i was completely glued in to Game 7 between the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins. and the joy from a memorable Game 7, is i never come down from that high for a few days. the Rangers scored first last night. that made me happy. but, just like the last two elimination games, they fell behind, 3-2, going into the 3rd period. the Rangers scored late in the 3rd to send the game to overtime. there is something magical about Game 7 overtimes at MSG. this was no different. the Rangers got a great play from K'Andre Miller to draw a penalty on the Penguins. and wouldn't you know, Artemi Panarin scored on the power play to give the Rangers a 4-3 OT victory. they became the first team in NHL history to come back from a 3-1 deficit in a series where they had to come from behind in each of the elimination games to win the series. they will face the Carolina Hurricanes, starting on Wednesday. this was the first time in 5 years the Rangers have advanced to the second round.
both Game 7's went into overtime as Calgary defeated Dallas 3-2 in OT.
so the next round of the playoffs have some really juicy series. the Lightning play the Panthers in the battle of Florida. the Blues and Avalanche should be rather entertaining. the Rangers will play Carolina, which has 6 former Rangers on the team. and then of course, the battle of Alberta, Edmonton vs. Calgary. i can remember growing up watching those games. that should be fascinating to see that again. the second round starts tomorrow night.
both Game 7's in the NBA yesterday were blowouts. here are your highlights:
the New York Yankees won yesterday at the White Sox, 5-1. they start a series tonight at Baltimore. the Yankees have the best record in MLB at 25-9.
i did write 3 poems today while mom was doing her physical therapy. i haven't typed those up yet. i had to run to Lowe's to get tomato food and another tomato cage, just in case the one tower we have doesn't work like we hope it will. i was supposed to go to the bank as well, but mom didn't have my check ready yet. so, i guess i will be doing that tomorrow afternoon.
i have to take her to the doctor in the morning tomorrow so we can go over her MRI results. i don't think mom is looking forward to it.
VICE was really good last night.
Ziwe was hilarious last night.
The Man Who Fell to Earth was excellent last night.

i did listen to episode 395 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
so, i had an interesting conversation with my sister this morning. she sent me a May the 4th Be With You text this morning and i replied that i am going to need the force since i am running on less than 3 hours of sleep. she said she couldn't function if she had that little of sleep. i told her i have had over 30 years of experience of running on fumes. she then said she guesses she will be cremating mom and i on the same day. that made me howl and i told her, not likely. what i wanted to type was i will make sure to say something nice about her at her funeral. but i didn't.
the reason i had less than 3 hours of sleep was twofold. first, the New York Rangers game last night went into 3 overtimes. that meant i was watching the other shit i had to watch last night much, much later than i was expecting. and secondly, my mother had one of those screams last night at 4:52 AM that you only hear in horror movies. i rushed into her room and said what's wrong. she told me to turn on the lights and swore she saw a person in her room getting ready to kill her. she admitted to me this morning that she has been seeing ghosts for the last two weeks. well fuck me. so yeah, i didn't sleep much after that.
the New York Rangers played a great first period last night. and then, for some fucking reason, they reverted back to trying to make everything cute and perfect. so, they pissed away a 2 goal lead last night. of course, the refs played a much larger role in the game than they ever should have. the Rangers scored late in the 3rd, but since the refs and the league are stuck on the Penguins dick forever, the goal did not stand. and of course, the Penguins scored in the 3rd overtime to win, 4-3. Igor stopped an amazing 79 of 83 shots yesterday for the Rangers. i'm not saying that Thursday is a MUST WIN for the Rangers, but it might as well be. i'm just hoping the game 1 loss doesn't scar the players as much as i know it does to us fans. i have a horror list of losses by the Rangers in multiple overtimes that if i let it, will keep me up for days as they replay in my mind.
here are your highlights from the other NHL playoff games last night:
the New York Yankees won their 11th straight game last night, defeating Toronto, 9-1. they will go for their 4th straight sweep tonight.
NXT was good last night.
Young Rock was very good last night.
Name That Tune was pretty good last night.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning (most likely) as mom has her physical therapy late in the afternoon tomorrow.
grocery shopping went well for the most part today. i got mom some yellow roses for Mother's Day. she was very surprised by that.
i guess my sister will be down late Friday night for the weekend.

i went out shopping today and holy shit... i almost forgot how much i hate humanity around the fucking holidays. as i told my mother as i was standing in line at Kroger waiting to get my pills, the fact i haven't killed anyone will go down as one of the greatest mysteries of mankind. i have lost all my patience for ignorance and stupidity.
i got one of my orders from Small Business Saturday yesterday. some mystery baseball cards. i was hoping for something good. what i got was all 1988, 1989 and 1990 Donruss cards. the only thing that made it somewhat worthwhile was the Larry Walker rookie card that was in it all. so, i went to Meijer today to get some more pages for the cards. they had every fucking card out now stocked and no fucking pages. fuck me. they didn't even have the fucking coffee i was looking for. i did pick up some pages at Kroger, but they aren't as good or as nicely priced as the ones at Meijer. so yeah, between that and watching this old lady not know how to use a credit card and watching the cashier basically not help her until the 5th fucking try... what a fucking day.
Manchester United defeated Arsenal yesterday, 3-2. CR7 scored twice meaning he now has 801 goals for club and country. i'm very happy that in the 3 games Michael Carrick was the caretaker manager, the club never lost. now, i hope the new manager, who has a clear vision and knows what the fuck he wants and how to get it, can get the club playing together and with a clear purpose. i still want to believe that United can make the top 4 of the Premier League or even do some damage in the Champions League.
the New Orleans Saints lost last night to Dallas, 27-17. that's 5 losses in a row, a first under Sean Payton. i remember the Aints and bags over the fans heads, so all this is doing is bringing up shit from my youth.
Young Sheldon was good last night.

so, the wind blew over our tomatoes yesterday. i had just sat down to eat lunch and i heard mom shout out oh shit. of course, i thought something was wrong with her. we went outside to try to get them back up. we lost a few tomatoes in the process. mom of course, fell again, this time right into a barrel that i had next to the tomatoes for a little stability. we moved our picnic bench right up to them and put a chair on the other side of the barrel. i'm going to go out sometime in the next day or so and get some wooden stakes and twine to see if i can control them a little better. mom has never had tomatoes grow like this before. i told her Miracle-Gro today is not what it was twenty years ago.
i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
this light drizzle is driving me crazy. it is supposed to be storming here in a bit. i'd love to just get it over with.
oh, i got some baseball cards yesterday. 1 box from Fairfield that i got at Rite Aid for $5. i probably had close to $20 worth of cards in it. good times.
