it never gets boring...

 so, i was getting ready to write this about a hour ago. that was until i heard mom scream from her room. i went in and turned on the light and asked what was wrong? she started complaining about all the people in her room, etc. i told her she is once again hallucinating and thinking her dreams are reality. i explain to her all the time this is the byproduct of not doing any drugs while growing up in the 60's. 

here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

the Yankees won last night at home to sweep the Royals, 4-3. they start a series tonight at Tampa.

AEW Dynamite was actually pretty good last night.

the season finale of Abbott Elementary was hilarious.

The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage and AEW Collision.

Manchester United plays today at home against Lyon in the Europa League. the score is 2-2 on aggregate. if United wins today they will advance. 

the New York Rangers finish their disappointing season tonight at home against Tampa Bay. the only reason to watch tonight is for Sam Rosen.

i did watch some of the NBA playoffs last night.

i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before mom has her physical therapy in the afternoon.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

we had some sleet today...

 i had to take mom to get her blood work done today. it was raining and she just told me to go park and she will text me when she is done. that usually is a sign that she feels more confident in how she is feeling and can do shit on her own. as i was sitting in the parking lot, the rain changed over to sleet. holy fuck. this is why i hate the weather in Ohio. anything could happen at any fucking time it seems. snow to a heatwave in a few days... 

here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

the New York Yankees won yesterday over the Twins, 2-0. Gerrit Cole pitched a complete game shutout. he definitely looks like he is on a mission this year.

the NBA playoffs were good yesterday.

i did watch El Trafico yesterday. it never disappoints.

Power Book II: Ghost was crazy again last night.

Succession was very good last night.

both episodes of Barry were great last night.

the likely chance of dying alone...

 so, my mother can't seem to get her blood pressure at a reasonable level. there is a more than likely chance that i will need to take her to the emergency room soon. good times.

the New York Yankees lost to Tampa last night, 8-2. the Yankees now have the worst record in the American League. good times.

the New York Rangers play this afternoon at home against New Jersey. hopefully, the boys will win again.

i will probably watch more of the hockey game than the Yankees game on at the same time.

i will also probably watch some of the MLS this afternoon and evening.

i have no clue if my sister is coming down here today or not. i guess her health is betraying her at the moment as well.

i should be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays, hopefully.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

one of those days where i wish i could sleep it all away

you know, the kind of day where you would love to just find a good recliner and take a nap that lasts all afternoon and a good portion of the evening. instead, i've spent most of the day doing dishes and laundry, wondering when my mother is going to realize getting a dishwasher isn't one of those outlandish thoughts for 2017.

Easter dinner yesterday went pretty well. i think my sister and i have matured enough to this point where we realize nothing truly can be gained from fighting with each other.

the New York Rangers played like shit yesterday. they didn't even bother to fake having a pulse until 57 minutes into the game. it's way too fucking late by then. Montreal won 3-1. if The King wouldn't have been excellent again yesterday, it would have been 6, 7 or 8 to 1. truly a fucking joke. Game 4 is on Tuesday. if the Rangers play like that again, this series is more or less over.

when that's the only highlight from the game for the Rangers, you know it was a truly shitty game.

thankfully, the New York Yankees continued their roll last night. Greg Bird finally broke out of his slump and the pitching was excellent once again. they beat St. Louis 9-3 for their second straight sweep. they start a series with the Chicago White Sox tonight. hopefully they can keep the winning streak going.

the series finale of Girls was about what i expected. the one thing i truly enjoyed about the show was how good it was at showing that some parts of life are just fucking mundane. there is no glamour or joy in them. and showing Hannah's frustration with being a new mother was a nice realistic example of what 99.9% of mothers go through. i never cared for shows that sugarcoat reality to a degree that is nothing more than fantasy.

Veep was fucking great last night. i absolutely love the pace of the comedy in the show.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as always last night. hopefully the people of France were watching.

Guerrilla was very interesting last night. 1971 London is a little before my time, so i was pretty interested in the show. after watching the first episode, i'm in for all 6 episodes now.

Billions was excellent last night. next week's episode certainly looks even more interesting.

Feud: Bette and Joan was great once again. next week is the finale.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The Voice. i will be watching Monday Night Raw and some playoff hockey for most of the night.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i'm not really sure of my mother's schedule for this week. plus, i'd love to get one more marathon writing session in.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

and then the sun came out...

welcome to the 17th day of National Poetry Month. today, i'm going to shine a bright light on a great poet and a man i consider a friend, Alan Catlin. truly one of the better poets around. and he's been around my friends. dig into some of these links, BUY some books, and truly enjoy one of the finer ones that has ever come around.

my sister stayed for over 3 hours with my father and family she forgot she had yesterday. she also met my father's wife for the last 10 years, her sister, etc. etc. i guess my sister did set the story straight to my father's wife on why the divorce happened, why we never came around, etc. etc. knowing my father, i can wisely guess that he told his wife that my mom turned us kids against him and we wanted nothing to do with him even though he did all these things for us over the years. my father believed that all he needed to do was provide a roof and food. anything else was my mother's job and she had to pay for it. my father gladly worked over 80 hours a week for over 30 years. gee, i can't imagine why he's on the verge of death at the age of 68. of course, my sister tells me he's not as close as we were let on by his sister. he is eating. he is talking. my sister got the room number in case i wanted to go. i told her i would go to the funeral and help put dirt on the grave.

the New York Rangers got their playoffs off to a great start last night scoring just 28 seconds in:

they scored again on the power play and then held on for the rest of the game for a 2-1 win. 15 more wins to go boys. here are some highlights from the game:

the New York Yankees are playing as i type this. i was hoping to get this done before the game started but sometimes, life gets in the way. i believe A-Rod has homered again, so hopefully i'll be enjoying a victory beer later tonight.

mom and i went out today to get some frames and other shit for all of the memorabilia i have here at the house. so, for the first time in my life, i'll actually get to display all of it. when i do get all of that up, i'll take some pictures. it's going to look fucking insane, trust me.

the shows last night were really good. The Big Bang Theory was hilarious. Louie was fucking great. any show that starts off with a guy shitting his pants is a winner. The Comedians was really funny. and then, suddenly becoming my guilty pleasure, Lip Sync Battle. this show is more funny than it should be. enjoy:

tonight is going to be mostly flipping between baseball and playoff hockey games. and maybe i'll get around to eating dinner sometime soon.

i wasn't thrilled when i found out this morning that Manchester United has 4 new injuries. especially when that news is announced the day before they play at Chelsea. i'll be on here tomorrow after that game. i'm not expecting to be in a good mood.

that's all for me today. i hope everyone had a great Friday and is fucking ready for the weekend.

before i lose my mind

decided i would bust out a quick one this morning before i get too busy. get your minds out of the gutter. i did that before i went to bed. here are your national poetry month links:

the New York Yankees won game 2 of the doubleheader last night 2-0. if only we could play the Cubs every game. the home stand is now over and they are off to that dump in Tampa. and CC usually pitches like shit there, so i don't know how much i will be watching.

i did catch a good portion of the NHL playoff games last night. always a stressing sign when the first game goes into overtime. it would be cool if i didn't have a dog in the race. the New York Rangers begin their quest for another Stanley Cup in my lifetime tonight against the Flyers. first time they have met in the playoffs since 1997. fuck i feel old. they have to play their backup goalie tonight, so i'm hoping the Rangers take advantage of it. hopefully i will get to watch all of it.

i did catch Legit and Ali G. last night. both were really fucking funny.

my sister made it down last night. i've had my 4 or so hours of sleep. now it's time to feed the cats, then myself, hopefully take a stress free shit and then drive the family to the hospital. they believe mom's surgery will be at least 2 hours. all i want is for it to be done right and hopefully they are no surprises or complications.

i will be sure to update the situation in tomorrow's blog.

that's all for me kids. sorry for interrupting your morning breakfast with my usual drivel. go back to watching porn on your phones now.

peace and chicken grease my enemies...
