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.
i did watch some of the Euro 2024 games yesterday. i plan on doing the same today.
AEW Collision was good last night.
Stevie Van Zandt: Disciple was a great documentary last night. i highly recommend it.

so, mom decided not to go to physical therapy today. she had a wicked headache and didn't sleep well last night. she has a therapy session on Thursday that she will hopefully feel good enough to go to. i went to the bank today to make a deposit. i then went to McDonald's to get mom a Frozen Coke for her headache.
here are your videos for this day of National Poetry Month:
so, night 2 of WrestleMania was good, but certainly not as good as night 1. the news broke last night that the group that owns the UFC was buying the WWE. that should be interesting.
the New York Knicks won last night at home against the Wizards, 118-109.
here are your NBA highlights from yesterday:
the New York Rangers won yesterday at Washington, 5-2.
the New York Yankees won yesterday against the Giants, 6-0. they start a series tonight at home against the Phillies.

i did listen to episode 441 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
this is the day where the child in me gets to really have some fun. i have been a wrestling fan since i was a little kid. and by little, i mean like from the age of 2. so today is WrestleMania 34. i have seen every single one of these. if all the matches go the way i think they could tonight, this might be one of the best ones ever.
and before i get into just how fucking brilliant NXT Takeover New Orleans was last night...
here is your poetry for this day of National Poetry Month:
NXT blew my damn mind last night. every single match told an incredible story and the wrestling was fucking insane. from one of the best ladder matches i have ever seen to the end of the incredible feud between Gargano and Ciampa.
Saturday Night Live was really good last night.
ROH was excellent last night.
the New York Rangers talked before the game yesterday like they had something to play for. and then they went out and had one of their most listless performances of this listless season. they lost to Philadelphia 5-0. i hoped that the coach would have been fired right after the game. 5 hours later, the GM finally did what had to be done. thank god this nightmare of a season is over.
the New York Yankees won 8-3 yesterday over Baltimore. they will go for the series split this afternoon.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of Our Cartoon President, Homeland, Billions, Here and Now, Silicon Valley, Barry and Last Week Tonight.
i will be watching WrestleMania for just about the whole damn day. the pre-show starts at 5 and the main show starts at 7 and i wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing isn't over until midnight.
i suppose before that comes on i'll watch a little of the Yankees game and maybe some golf as well.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday is even better.

so i was in the shower early this afternoon. i had everything ready to go to the post office and the grocery store. and just as i started to shampoo my hair, the fucking power goes out. now, if i still lived on the farm, i would truly be fucked, as the water would have shut off as well. thankfully, here in suburbia, i could at least finish showering, albeit in the damn dark.
the power was out for 30 minutes. i have no fucking clue why it was out. i'm just happy it wasn't out for a long time.
some poetry news first... i heard back from The Homestead Review on my poetry submission from back in October. while they enjoyed my work, they decided to pass on the poems. well, at least i know i have 5 poems ready to go in February.
i sent out 25 poems today; 3 each to Pyrokinection, Rusty Truck and Mad Swirl; 5 each to Nerve Cowboy and Easy Street; and 6 poems to The Stray Branch. when i hear back from these places i'll pass along the verdicts.
the New York Rangers won last night over Buffalo 4-3. Rick Nash scored 2 more goals. that was the first time in 4 seasons he's had back to back multi goal games. of course, they lost Kevin Shattenkirk to a knee injury last night. great. more injuries right before a road trip. lovely. i believe they play at Colorado on Saturday.
Lip Sync Battle was really good last night.
Will & Grace was hilarious last night.
The Big Bang Theory was very good last night.

my sister is planning on coming down here in the morning. so, i will probably end up doing a blog sometime in the late afternoon/early evening, if i do one at all. i suppose that's the good thing about having your birthday on a weekend. the whole damn weekend can become a party if you want. if the New Orleans Saints would be playing on Sunday, it truly would be.
i do plan on watching a little of Manchester United tomorrow morning.
and then hopefully the Dayton Flyers won't get the shit beat out of them by Rhode Island tomorrow.
i think my sister and i are coming back home after the game to have lunch with mom. probably after that i will do a quick blog while hoping to have many victory drinks later in the evening.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. call if you need bail money.

when i went out to get the newspaper this morning, it was already muggy as hell. i looked at the clouds and figured we might get a little rain. about 45 minutes later, it was fucking pouring. 3 hours after that, still fucking pouring. we don't get showers anymore, we get flood warnings. at least the grass got cut yesterday. i suppose i really shouldn't have put out the new solar lights and all the bird food. oh well.
the trip to Menards was pretty good yesterday. i found most of what i was looking for, plus a few things that were cheaper than at the grocery store. i kept it under $100, so mom was pleased.
the New York Yankees pissed away a great comeback yesterday and lost 7-6 to Toronto. thank fucking god they are off today. they start a series against the Brewers to take them into the All Star break.
NXT was really good last night. the match between Roderick Strong and Bobby Roode was excellent.
Lucha Underground was good last night.
Snowfall was outstanding last night. i usually will give any new show on FX a try and i'm so happy i decided to watch this one. i will definitely watch this whole season. between the music, the drugs and the acting, fucking fantastic.
Big Brother was hilarious last night. i loved the look on Cody's face when he tried to nominate Paul. i really hope Christmas doesn't get voted out tonight, but who knows.

i was happy that A-Rod got to have "his" night last night. the ceremony was the clusterfuck that more or less his career has been, so that was fitting. he got a RBI double in the first inning and actually contributed for the first time in ages. he also got to play 3rd base for the first time in over a year for one batter. the best part of it all was the Yankees won their 3rd in a row, 6-3. now today, the youth movement finally begins. the Yankees called up Tyler Austin and Aaron Judge for today's game. i'm fucking thrilled to finally see some of the prospects play in the majors. and hopefully they do well enough that the relics they are replacing are never heard from again. they are also honoring the 1996 team today. hopefully some of that magic rubs off on the kids.
the Cypress Hill concert i watched last night certainly brought back some memories from my youth. it also reminded me how much i miss smoking weed.
the Premier League started off this morning with a nice shock. first time ever the champions from the previous season lost their first game of the next season. so hopefully that means Leicester City truly was just a fucking fluke.

mom and i went to the grocery store yesterday. we wanted to make sure we got everything done just in case we do get some holy shit rain today. i believe i found my latest muse while i was there. i was getting my lemonade that i love and turned around and nearly walked right into a beautiful black woman. it took nearly everything i had to stop myself from trying to bury my face in her ass. needless to say, there will be poems.
team USA men's basketball team won again yesterday on just talent and no chemistry. to beat Serbia by only 3 points, 94-91, is a bit of a head scratcher. they next play against France on Sunday. i believe Paul George said it best yesterday, they are simply too easy to guard at the moment. i can't stand watching a team that just stands around on offense. it drives me fucking nuts. and as my mother would say, it's a short drive.
i'll be on here sometime after Manchester United plays tomorrow morning.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

i was tempted to add a little whiskey to my coffee this morning, but i figured that would make me too Irish. i do have some alcohol coming to me today, after an improbable victory from a mediocre team last night.
when i saw that the New York Yankees were down 7-1 last night, i figured same old Yankees. that's how much this season has turned into an apathetic one. so after i got done watching all my shows last night, i looked at the scores and saw the Yankees won 9-7. i was like, well, that must be a fucking mistake. so i got the internet and watched the highlights. holy shit. 6 runs in the bottom of the 9th to win 9-7. well, that certainly came out of nowhere. maybe it's a sign of good things... no. it's more of the sun hits a dog's ass every now and then. they play again this afternoon. i doubt lightning will strike twice.
Lucha Underground was spectacular last night. i think they have done an excellent job setting up Ultima Lucha Dos the past couple weeks. that starts next week.
NXT was really good last night.
Big Brother was hilarious last night. i'm hoping for some fireworks with tonight's show. eviction night usually is good.
Any Given Wednesday was pretty funny last night.

after a nice, long shower at 2 in the morning, i had a writing session last night. i wrote 5 poems, all of which i like. i typed them up this afternoon. the only problem with me writing late at night is i have a hard time falling asleep. my brain doesn't like to be turned off. that's why i always play music at night, hoping to distract my brain and then get some rest. 4 hours a night doesn't really cut it.
for National Poetry Month, i give you:
House of Lies was funny last night. it really made me miss the days where i'd get fucking stoned out of my mind. Silicon Valley was fucking hilarious. Veep was hilarious as well. sadly, i believe that is much closer to reality about our government than it is to fiction. finally, Last Week Tonight was brilliant once again.
enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and Gotham. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the night.
the New York Yankees play tonight down in Texas. i doubt i watch much of the game.
i did listen to the latest Sam & Cathy podcast this morning. i highly recommend you checking it out.
the sun was out for most of the day. i did see my uncle get out on his scooter for a little bit. i don't know how much longer he'll actually get to enjoy that.
i did all my household duties in the last 2 days. cleaned the toilets, put away the dishes, vacuum the whole house. hopefully mom will notice when she gets back.
heard from my first girlfriend this morning that she's moving to Virginia next month. i told her to keep in touch but i doubt that happens. the one thing that amazes me as someone who has never had many friends to begin with, just how easily adults grow apart from their friends. of course, i probably wouldn't notice this problem at all if i had gone to college and had those friendships to build on. instead i was working in a factory, falling in love with the wrong people and writing poems hoping someone would publish them. lord knows, i never liked the easy way of doing anything.
i hope everyone had a great weekend. i may be a little moody this week. it's coming up on the one year anniversary of my father's death. i need to get out to the cemetery and be sure to take my camera. i'd like visual proof that fucker really is gone.

today is the day that the 8 year old child dying inside of me gets to have some fun. WrestleMania. hard to believe this will be the 32nd one i have watched.
before we get to all that good stuff...
for National Poetry Month today i give you:
the New York Rangers lost their third game in a row last night, 4-3. exactly the way you want to be playing going towards the playoffs. now they will have to try to clinch in Columbus, a game i could have got tickets to earlier this season but i figured they would already be clinched by now. fuck me.
Saturday Night Live had a few funny moments last night, but not enough to make it a good show. i love a dirty joke but the joke has to be funny, not just dirty. maybe someone should explain that theory to the writers.
i did finish watching Trainwreck this afternoon. i thought it was very funny in some parts and some parts just dragged on for me. i did think John Cena was pretty funny in it. i'm happy though that i didn't rush out to see it in the theaters, it wasn't that good.
the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony last night was great. The Fabulous Freebirds stole the show, like i figured they would. i suppose the biggest news from the event was Sting announcing his retirement. of course, i'll believe that when i never see him wrestle again.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vinyl, Girls, Togetherness, Last Week Tonight, Billions and the season finale of Shameless.
i will be watching WrestleMania 32 for most, if not all, of the evening. i'm really hope the show is as good as the NXT event was. if it is, this will go down as one of the best Manias ever. i'm really looking forward to see what kind of chaos Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar can cause. the ladder match that Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are in should be great. the triple threat women's match should steal the show. and anytime there is a Hell in a Cell match, there is bound to be something totally fucking crazy happen. plus, it's a long ass show, so there is plenty of time for the crazy shit.
Manchester United defeated Everton today 1-0. Martial scored in the second half and the boys got another clean sheet at home. the win puts them just 1 point out of the top 4. amazingly, they still have a chance at the Champions League. i will enjoy a victory beer tonight while watching wrestling.
i have my Dean Ambrose shirt on and my New Day socks on, so i'm ready for some wrestling.
i did listen to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast this morning. he had a great interview with one of my favorites, Bray Wyatt.
today is one of those days where sports will determine everything in my life. if all 3 of my teams win, i'll be on top of the world. if they all lose, i will be the miserable prick that my family has had to deal with more times than they care for.
but first, the highs and lows from yesterday...
the New York Rangers lost in Boston 4-3 yesterday. worse, they lost Derek Stepan for god knows how long with broken ribs on a dirty fucking hit. kudos to Dylan McIlrath for beating the shit out of the fucker that did it. hopefully the boys will get back to winning today at home against Philadelphia.
the Dayton Flyers built a huge lead last night and apparently this will be what they do this season; pissed it all away. thankfully, they came back late once again and won 73-70 over a very good Monmouth team. though, i could really do without those douche bags at the end of Monmouth's bench. they got more air time last night than the game almost. as i told my mother, there's the future of America. Dayton will play in the finals of the tournament on Sunday against their most hated rival, Xavier. it will be over 1,000 days since they last played each other. Dayton will have to be at their very best to win.
The Knick was outstanding last night. what really blew me away was seeing Jim Norton in the episode. that was really entertaining.
enjoy some music kids:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH and Austin City Limits.
Ohio State plays that shit school from up north today. i'm really hoping Ohio State beats the shit out of them.
Manchester United takes on Leicester City today for top spot in the Premier League. since it's on the road, i don't have my hopes up for a United win. though, i'd be thrilled if they can fucking score.
both of those games and the New York Rangers game will be on at the same time today. joy.
i did listen to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast last night. if you are a fan of Lucha Libre, it is a must listen.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. hopefully it isn't fucking raining where you are. as always, enjoy the day and call if you need bail money.

the wind has been blowing like fucking crazy since last night. i've had bird feeders knocked down from trees and it's funny watching the flimsy pink flamingos hang on in this hellish wind. i'm shocked they are still in the ground.
i managed to do some writing today. i wrote 4 poems. i haven't typed them up yet. i'd love to write a few more and then type them all up in one sitting. in other poetry news, got some good news from Janne Karlsson on one of the poems i sent him. i'm going to hold off on the details for now, but i'm certainly extremely pleased with the news.
at least a few of my favorites made the cut on The Voice last night. i'm hoping Madi Davis wins it all. i absolutely love a 16 year old with an old soul. reminds me of myself at that age.
You're The Worst was fucking hilarious last night. it also reminded me why i don't do much family shit.
American Horror Story was great last night. the end startled me, which was perfect. the show just keeps getting better.
NXT was really good last night. anytime you have a title change, it's going to be a good show. Table for 3 was really good as well.

the New York Rangers have a tough game tonight with St. Louis. if the Rangers can keep the winning streak going tonight, i'll really be impressed.
i have no fantasy players playing tonight but mom's favorite team is the Jets, so i imagine i'll end up watching some of the NFL game tonight.
i did listen to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. i highly recommend it.
i will be on here tomorrow in the morning. we have a college basketball game tomorrow night. very hard to think that college basketball is already starting.

i suppose part of my love of sports is the extreme emotions they always seem to produce. and college football is one of the greatest examples. i was watching the Michigan vs. Michigan St. game yesterday, hoping both teams would somehow lose. by the end of the game, i was laughing so damn hard that i had tears in my eyes. watching Michigan lose is always a joy. watching them lose the way they did yesterday was priceless. considering all they needed to do was just punt the ball...
Ohio State started slow last night, but that's because the coach still hasn't figured out he's not starting the best QB yet. once the genius figured that out, Ohio State beat Penn St. 38-10. if J.T. Barrett isn't the starting quarterback by now, i have to conclude Urban is just a stubborn fuck that wants to be proven right.
Amy Schumer - Live at The Apollo was fucking hilarious. it made my mother uncomfortable given how sexual her comedy is, which made me love it even more.
Saturday Night Live was excellent last night. it was so good to see Tracy Morgan performing once again.
Austin City Limits was good as well. Sturgill Simpson and Asleep At The Wheel. all i needed was a bottle of Jack Daniels and i would have been... use your imagination.
ROH was another really good episode. the fight at the end was excellent and i always love when Steve Corino gets involved.
