so, the pain isn't exactly coming from my left shoulder, more coming from the neck it seems. makes it pretty difficult to do certain things when it is really flaming. when i got home from the grocery store, i put ice right on where it felt like the pain was coming from. i think i got the ice right on a nerve. this is why ice only works for me. it was an instant sensation of my body shutting off. i fear, i'll need that more and more as i get older. i have a doctor's appointment later this month. that might get interesting. i see the eye doctor tomorrow. that could get interesting as well.
grocery shopping went ok today. it took me a little longer to bag my groceries at Kroger. the cashier certainly didn't seem interested in helping me. at least the lady behind me was very patient. i did appreciate that.
the Yankees lost last night at Texas, 7-4. nothing like Clay Holmes blowing another fucking save by giving up a walk off grand slam. now, the guy that hit that grand slam got the hit i needed to win a same game parlay on Draftkings. what a world. the loss also knocked the Yankees out of first place in the AL East.
NXT was really good last night.
Hard Knocks was good last night. time for another NFL season to start.
Deadliest Catch was very good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and Big Brother.
so, i am a big believer in evolution. i try to explain it as why we see everything done by people younger and younger. today was the latest example as a 14 year old is the latest school shooter. i fucking hate it more than anything that this shit is fucking common in this country. i hate it even more that the response from the republicans is to arm the teachers and put more guns in the situation. as i told my mother today, maybe when a 8 year old kills his classmates, this country will finally realize the gun problem we have. it obviously is going to take something so fucking shocking to wake us the fuck up.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get done with my appointment at the eye doctor.
i need to pick up all the trash tonight and get that out. i love how people forget around here that trash gets picked up a day later when there is a holiday.
i have no clue what i'm making for dinner tonight.
i'm off to go ice my neck down again. joy.
until tomorrow kids...

so, my doctor's appointment went well today. my weight was down just about 10lbs. my A1C went down a full point (7.8 to 6.8). the doc wanted to know what changed and i told her i basically cut out 90% of the sweets i would usually eat. so, now i know what i need to stick to. basically, i have to cut chocolate out of my life. i guess i will have to treat this like when i stopped smoking. but, it would be nice to cut my A1C even lower and then maybe get off of some of these pills.
after i got out of there, i had to go to Kroger and get mom's prescriptions. and then go to Rite Aid to pick up my 3 prescriptions. i then went home to give mom the good news. as soon as i walked in she told me she did something stupid. she hit her head on the corner of the ledge where our microwave is while cleaning. i checked her and i didn't see any blood or bruising but she does have a headache. this is why i get uncomfortable anytime i leave the fucking house and she is alone. so yeah, what should have been a happy afternoon has turned into one of those mindfucks that there are no good answers to. joy.
the Yankees won last night over Toronto, 5-3. Gerrit Cole basically won the AL Cy Young award last night with his performance. 8 innings, 2 hits, 1 run, 9 strikeouts, 0 walks. he's now 14-4 on the season. the Yankees start a series tonight at home against Arizona.
well, i guess the tool to put videos in the blog today isn't working. oh great.
Big Brother was good last night. Cameron was the first one evicted. then Jared was evicted. but, neither are out of the game just yet. they are Big Brother zombies for the week and one of them will get to stay in the game. this should be interesting.
NJPW was excellent last night. it was the G1 Climax 33 main event between Okada and Naito.
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and two hours of AEW Rampage. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
i did watch the USWNT game last night against South Africa. the USA won 3-0.
i should be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays at Burnley. it will definitely be before Ohio State plays tomorrow night at Notre Dame.
i hope everyone has an amazing weekend.

i know i don't sleep well, but i did enough yesterday that i was hoping to really get some sleep. between the cooking, vacuuming the house, and doing a ton of dishes, i was hoping for something close to what a normal human gets for sleep. so, roughly 4 1/2 hours into my sleep, the fucking phone rings. the phone said spam risk. fuck me. and of course, i couldn't get back to sleep. oh well.
the New Orleans Saints lost yesterday at Carolina, 22-14. too many fucking turnovers once again. they play next week in London against the Vikings.
the Yankees won last night against the Red Sox, 2-0. the game only went 6 innings before the rain came. of course, due up next for the Yankees was Aaron Judge. but since both teams had to be in different cities today, there was no reason to wait 3 or 4 hours for the rain to end. Judge is still at 60 HR but he is back in the lead for batting average. so, the triple crown watch is back on. the Yankees play tonight at Toronto. if the Yankees win any game in this series, they will clinch the division.
the season finale of Big Brother was good last night. Monte won the final HOH and decided to take Taylor to the end with him. big mistake as Turner ended up being Monte's only vote by the jury. Taylor gave one of the best speeches EVER on Big Brother and won 8-1 with the jury vote. she also won the favorite houseguest. first time that double win has happened. so, she ended up winning $775,000 and a cruise for two.
Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as always.
the season finale of City on a Hill was excellent last night.

on top of the fact, i'm out of bread, so i will be hitting the local grocery store sometime this afternoon. it would have been nice if i would have remembered that yesterday when i was shopping. oh well.
i turned off the Manchester United game yesterday when they were losing 2-0. they eventually lost to Brentford, 4-0. even worse, they are now at the bottom of the league for the first time in 30 years. now, i know it has been just 2 games, etc. etc. they play Liverpool next, so i can just imagine how bad it is going to get before it even starts to get fucking better.
thankfully, the day got better from there...
team USA defeated Austria yesterday at the World Juniors, 7-0. they play Sweden tonight for first place in the group.
shopping went pretty well yesterday. i didn't find everything, but i didn't break the bank to get what i got either.
the Yankees won last night in Boston, 3-2. IKF hit his first HR of the year and drove in the winning run with a safety squeeze. hopefully, the Yankees will win the series tonight.
the New Orleans Saints lost last night at Houston, 17-13. i put no stock into preseason football, so the loss doesn't bother me. none of the starters really played, so...

i do plan on doing my laundry today. given that the Yankees don't play until tonight, i'll have all afternoon to get it done.
thanks to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
when the New York Rangers got down 2-0 last night, i wasn't very happy. then, in a matter of 3 minutes or so, the boys woke up and scored 3 straight goals. of course, the Penguins tied the game a few seconds later at 3. the Rangers scored twice in the 3rd period to win the game 5-3. that forces Game 6 tomorrow in Pittsburgh. best part of the game was Crosby getting injured. i know that's not the politically correct thing to say, but i hate that whiny motherfucker so much that he deserves every bit of pain he ever gets.

mom has physical therapy late this afternoon. i will hopefully get some poems written while i am there.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get all the shit that wasn't on the grocery list from yesterday.

so, in the grand scheme of things, i started this blog to hopefully fucking avoid this problem. writer's block is one of those things that truly scares the shit out of me. i know once the words go away, i'll be left to just my thoughts and death won't be far behind. so, doing an everyday blog was my way of making sure writer's block would be a foreign concept to me. so, last night, like i do on most holidays, i sat down to write. i had a decent opening line, but that was it. and it never went past that. two hours staring at a blank page and all my imagination could come up with was closing the notebook and pretending to sleep. good times.
the Yankees split a doubleheader against the Mets yesterday. they blew the first game as Gerrit Cole and (why the fuck is he still the closer) Aroldis Chapman pissed away leads. they lost that game 10-5. thankfully, they won the second game, 4-2. they are off tonight and start a series in Seattle tomorrow night.
The One And Only Dick Gregory was excellent last night.
Ohio State has made me very happy the last two days.
i did watch Joey Chestnut eat a ridiculous 76 hot dogs yesterday to win the hot dog eating contest yet again.
i hope everyone had a great weekend. they were shooting fireworks off here until 11:30 last night. i'm surprised no one called the police.

nothing on the DVR tonight. i will be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
the USWNT takes on Mexico this evening. i will be watching that.
Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final is tonight. i love that Tampa's mayor thinks the Lightning should throw the game tonight so they can win the cup at home. there is someone who doesn't understand tempting fate.
i did listen to episode 350 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:
we had a pop up storm hit last night. knocked out the damn power for about 10 seconds or so, you know, long enough that all the fucking clocks had to be reset, etc. i would bitch and moan, but then i saw the tornado that ripped through Nashville last night and know it could always be worse here.
i did go to the bank today. after i made that deposit, i went to Office Depot to get some better pens. the ones i got there last time fucking sucked. i did find some good pens, a new mousepad and some other shit, all for less than $20. the store is going to close on March 21st. i told mom if she wants to make a last trip, let me know.
at least i got home before the rain started again. nothing like sitting at the computer and your body just starts to fucking ache, before you even hear the rain hit the roof. joy.
Monday Night Raw started off great last night and ended hot as well. it was all the shit in the middle that i wish was much better.
The New Pope was excellent last night. the season finale is next week.
McMillion$ was great last night. that finale is next week as well.
The Voice was good last night.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against St. Louis. i'd love to see the Rangers find a way to get something out of this game tonight.
so, i see the Democrats are once again trying to steal the nomination away from Bernie Sanders. so, that just made up my mind on whom i'm voting for. i'm down for a revolution.
i should be on here early tomorrow. it will definitely be long before Dayton plays at Rhode Island tomorrow night.
i need to get the trash picked up here and next door and hopefully do it between storms.

i'm not sure why it has to be this way with Manchester United, but it does. they will simply sleepwalk through games sometimes and it will usually take the other team scoring to wake them the fuck up. that pretty much sums up today's game against Arsenal. a 2-1 victory that United definitely needed but probably didn't deserve. oh well. it ensures that Arsenal will not finish in the top 4 and that United will. now United needs 4 points from their last 3 games to clinch a second place finish in the league. Pogba scored in the first half and Fellaini scored the winner in injury time.
here is your poetry for this day of National Poetry Month:
the New York Yankees scored early and often last night against the Angels. they won the game 11-1. they were up 10-0 after the second inning. they will go for the sweep tonight.

ROH was pretty good last night.

i'm not sure what to make of what the New Orleans Saints did in the NFL draft this year. i think they stretched a bit too far for some players, but only time will truly tell.
i didn't see any frost this morning, but i know it did get down into the 30's last night. amazingly, i think i almost slept 6 hours, without alcohol.
i hope everyone had a good Saturday. hopefully, what's left of your Sunday will be even better.

the New York Yankees won Game 4 last night against Cleveland 7-3. that forces a Game 5 back in Cleveland on Wednesday. i didn't watch any of the game, although i did follow from time to time on the internet. Cleveland has lost their last 5 games when trying to close out a series. i really hope the Yankees make it 6. i'm trying to not think about the Yankees were just one fuck up away from their manager from winning the series last night.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i love having The Shield back together. plus, i was so happy to see Kalisto win the Cruiserweight championship from Enzo last night.
The Big Bang Theory was very funny last night.
The Voice was pretty good last night.

the US Men's National Team can lock up their place in the World Cup tonight. with a win or a draw against Trinidad & Tobago, they will be in the field for Russia in 2018. i'm just hoping the field tonight isn't under water like it was yesterday.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against St. Louis. i'd love to see the boys make it 2 wins in a row.
that's all for me today kids. the Guided by Voices CD/DVD i ordered arrived today, so i'll have plenty to listen to and watch this week.
i have trash to go pickup and dinner to help make.

one thing i always did when i was a teen, i would take a notepad and pen with me to a mall or anywhere where there was going to be people. i do that today when i take my mother to the doctor. i wrote 7 poems yesterday while she was in her appointment. i figure i will type them up tomorrow between football games and memories of holiday dysfunction. what made me laugh yesterday was i heard a person whispering to another what's he writing there. if there is one thing i have learned over time, it's the enjoyment i get by making people nervous. it's also a good way to make sure you're always alone.
after the doctor yesterday, mom and i went to Menards. this one is way south of the one we normally go to. i could tell immediately by the women that worked there. much more attractive. of course, this is where most of the rich people live, so i'm guessing some of the parts have been cleaned up so to speak. after that we went to dinner. much more of the same. i suppose i will have some more poems to write this weekend.
after that, we got back home to get the trash out. i spent a good amount of time over at my uncle's. i joked that it has become Tuesdays with Morrie. sadly, the talks usually get to politics and then that's when i just let my crazy common sense shine. i personally hope no one votes in the next election. send the whole fucking thing into chaos. we got done with the trash just in time for The Voice.
all my favorites made it through another elimination. i was a little upset that Korin was in the bottom 2 once again. thankfully, she got saved and Evan was eliminated. he did absolutely nothing for me.
Scream Queens was excellent last night. the ending was awesome, even though you could see it coming a mile away.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be the Saturday Night Live Thanksgiving Special. i will be watching NXT and some other shows on WWE Network.
the New York Rangers play a HUGE early season game with Montreal tonight. it should be a good test to see if the Rangers are really the best team in the east.
Manchester United can advance to the knockout round today if they defeat PSV Eindhoven. considering the game is at Old Trafford, i really like their chances.
i've got the first two loads of laundry going. hopefully i will have much of it done before the United game.
my sister is supposed to come down tonight, or maybe early tomorrow, all depends on her job.
i did my fantasy football picks this morning. most of my players actually play on Thanksgiving, so that will make it a very interesting holiday this year.
that's all for now. i have some clothes to fold and i have to figure out what i'm having for lunch. i hope everyone has a great day. if you happen to be traveling today, be safe.

i settled in for the New York Rangers game expecting the worst. thankfully, the exact opposite happened. The King stopped 38 of 39 shots. and two fuckers who have mostly been absent from the playoffs FINALLY showed up:
another big game from Keith Yandle and Chris Kreider and we're going back to New York all tied up at 2. it's now a best of 3 series. and let me just say, a victory beer after a 5-1 win in the playoffs taste so damn sweet. enjoy the highlights:
the pivotal Game 5 is Sunday night at MSG.
the Yankees got down 7-0 early last night. figures, they had their best pitcher on the mound. so, as usual, the offense exploded for 9 runs in the game. the problem was the pitching and shitty defense allowed Texas to score 10. and there are no damn moral victories in sports. that's 4 losses in a row and i'm pretty sure they are no longer in first place. they play again this afternoon. there's a good chance i'll be out with mom shopping. that's how much i don't like this team at the moment. i'd rather be out in public with people.
i did watch a little of the basketball game last night. i'm kind of shocked that LeBron has Cleveland 2 wins away from the NBA Finals. given the amount of injuries the team has, it's more or less him and a bunch of role players. if he pulls a championship off with this team, i don't think anyone can doubt how great he truly is then.
mom and i are going out to take advantage of some of these Memorial Day weekend sales. just basic shit for the house, for the birds, etc. plus, i think she wants to start cleaning out the garage this weekend. oh joy.
on the DVR today will be ROH. it should be another great episode. and i believe i will be able to watch it this afternoon. that would make it great. i might actually get to sleep tonight.
i will probably be on here tomorrow morning before Manchester United plays. if not, expect my lazy ass to show up in the afternoon.
hope everyone has a great Saturday. enjoy the weather. enjoy the sales. enjoy a cool drink or whatever your vice happens to be.

so i was watching the news this afternoon about the plane crash in the Ukraine. i fell asleep. i woke up to Israel starting a ground operation in the Gaza Strip. except in my mind, it was the same event. so i'm flipping through the channels thinking WW3 is starting. i eventually took a shower to make sure i was really awake.
mom made some really good turkey burgers for lunch. i think she may have sprinkled on some extra tryptophan on them. at least that's what i'm going with for the long nap this afternoon.
i watched Big Brother last night, just to really see how Donny beat Devin in the POV competition. that made me laugh out loud. so, thankfully, Devin will be evicted tonight and i can go back to enjoying the show.
other than Big Brother tonight, i'm going to try the new comedies on FX, Married and You're the Worst. hopefully the previews didn't have all the good parts. i love some good crass humor.
Wilfred was really good last night. i love how they are doing this final season.
The Bridge was creepy as fuck last night. just when i think that show can't get any better, it proves me wrong.
since i'm not a big fan of golf, there really isn't much sports going on today. thankfully, that will change in the next week or so.
amazingly, the humidity held off for another day here. so, the windows are still open.
my mom and sister went in on some hockey tickets for the Columbus Blue Jackets. i think they did a quarter season. all i know is i get to see my beloved New York Rangers twice next season. it's always fun to wear the enemy colors into a building. of course, when the Rangers aren't playing, i'll just be a fan for those games.
i heard a Todd Snider song on the radio yesterday as i was scrubbing the toilets. thankfully, i found the full, uncensored song on iTunes this morning. i've been playing the shit out of it today.
that's pretty much all for me today. hopefully this finds everyone well. and hopefully no one reading this had anyone on that plane today.
