when Manchester United was up 2-0 at halftime yesterday, i felt pretty confident. when they were down 4-2 in extra time against Lyon (playing with 10 men), i felt horrible. then, Casemiro got fouled in the box. Bruno scored the penalty kick. then, Casemiro and Bruno made a great little passing play to Kobbie Mainoo to make it 4-4. one minute after that, Casemiro made the perfect pass to Harry Maguire to head in the winner. 3 goals in 7 minutes. holy shit. one of the craziest games i can remember. first European game to have 5 goals scored in extra time. United won 5-4 and 7-6 on aggregate. they advance to the semifinals of the Europa League.
a delightful trip into the dark mind of an evil genius or simply the musings of an asshole

one of the craziest games i have ever seen...

rock bottom...
before i get to the absolute shit show the New Orleans Saints have become... i saw last night as i was trying to go to sleep that Quincy Jones had died. being the age i am, i definitely knew who Quincy Jones was. that man probably had one of the most amazing music careers of anyone that has ever existed. for anyone younger that isn't aware, that is one rabbit hole you should definitely lose yourself in.

now i remember why i never wanted to be an adult...
so, i finally got a phone call through to the pharmacy at Kroger. they had some Trulicity and took all my information and got my prescription transferred over to Kroger from Rite Aid. and amazingly, it was only $25. now, i was hoping they were going to call to say it was ready while i was shopping at Meijer. of course, that call never came. so, i checked the website when i got home and saw it was ready. nothing like going back out during rush hour traffic. this kind of running around is the adult shit i never liked. and given how Manchester United lost yesterday and how the Yankees didn't do much today in the home opener... let alone a fucking earthquake on the east coast today. that was a phone call from the muse this morning i certainly was not expecting...
here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:
so, let me get this shit out of the way. when Manchester United got down 2-0 yesterday at Chelsea, i was not surprised. when they tied it at 2 by halftime, i still wasn't surprised. when Garnacho scored to make 3-2 late, all i was hoping was they were going to show they actually learned their lesson from the last game and could see it out. silly me. Chelsea scored 2 goals in the last 3 minutes to win the game 4-3. to have that loss and then have your next game be at home to Liverpool... if they shit the bed in that like they did at Chelsea, ETH will be looking for a job.

let the adventure begin...
so, i did get mom out to the contractor's office this afternoon. it was a bitch to find since the street it is on has 2 addresses with the same number (fucking East Dayton/Kettering), but we eventually got there and on time. thankfully, the number they had for the kitchen renovation was pretty much what mom and i were willing to go to for it, so it is a go. this will greatly upgrade the kitchen and will finally put a fucking dishwasher in there. my back will scream with the pure delight of not having to stand there for hours on end scrubbing dishes.
now, my back has been killing me all day. the 40 minute drive to and back from the contractor's office didn't do me any favors. and i still have dinner to cook tonight. fun.
the Yankees won last night at Detroit, 4-1. they are up 1-0 so far tonight.

not the day i was expecting...
so, i thought i was going to have this Monday where i was going to try to squeeze everything in. turns out, that wasn't the case. mom wasn't feeling good when i woke her up this morning. so, she cancelled her physical therapy appointment at noon. and then i thought she had an appointment to get the battery on her iPhone changed. but, i guess she thought she made the appointment for today but actually made it for tomorrow and they don't have the batteries in stock. so, she cancelled that as i have an eye doctor's appointment tomorrow. so, i was able to get to the bank without feeling rushed at all. and i got in a decent nap this afternoon.
the New York Yankees lost yesterday at Colorado, 8-7, in 11 innings. they start a series tonight at the Angels.

the last day of June...
so, i wanted to get up early this morning so i could get a few things done (feeding the birds, etc.). i went to bed at 1:30 AM, which is a few hours earlier than i normally try to fall asleep. but, my inner child wasn't tired, so the words started coming to me. i have been in a pretty damn good writing mode this month, and sometimes it just happens like this. once i got a few stanzas into it, i knew i better write this shit down. and holy shit, i think i ended up writing my favorite poem EVER. add that to the other 4 poems i wrote while my mother was in physical therapy and i know i will have some poems to send out for submissions in early July.
the New York Yankees won yesterday at Oakland, 10-4. they start a series tonight at St. Louis.
Thursday, June 1, 2023
welcome to June...
it was pretty damn hot once again today. i did make it to the bank to deposit my check. but honestly, i have spent most of the day inside in the air conditioning. i was hoping they would have got all the trash picked up by now. they haven't. great.
the New York Yankees lost last night at Seattle, 1-0, in 10 innings. they still won the series, but i would have loved a sweep. they are off tonight and start a series tomorrow at the Dodgers.

and the rain only makes it worse...
so, i guess i'll start at where we left off yesterday...
Manchester United played like shit yesterday at Watford. i turned the game off when United went down 2-0. thank god i did as they lost the game 4-1. i got a news alert later in the day that the board at Manchester United had an emergency meeting in the afternoon to FINALLY sack Ole. they made it official this morning. Michael Carrick will be the manager for the next few games, at least until they hire an interim manager. i have no damn clue who that is going to be or who is going to get the job permanently. all i know is all the great managers are already taken or already said they aren't interested. so yeah, once again the whole fucking club is a circus. good times.

coffee is on, time to go...
so, i gave myself an extra 30 minutes of sleep this morning. that gave me almost 4 hours for the night. good times.
Ohio State defeated Tulsa yesterday, 41-20. i wish the score actually resembled how much Ohio State struggled in the game. the defense still fucking sucks, but their freshman running back saved their asses yesterday. he had the third most rushing yards of any Ohio State player ever. and honestly, he probably could have had more.

it never fails...
Manchester United lost to West Ham today 2-0. injuries are crippling United at the moment and the team just has no fucking imagination as well. i stopped watching at halftime to start typing up those poems.
i really like the 6 poems i wrote. i guess my night with the third eye open paid off. sometime this week, if i can find the time, i'll send out another round of submissions.
Ohio State came out flat yesterday against Miami. both my mother and sister graduated from Miami. thankfully, Ohio State flipped the switch and scored the next 76 points. holy shit. Ohio State plays next week at Nebraska.
the New York Yankees defeated Toronto yesterday 7-2. hopefully the Yankees will win the series today, which happens to be the final home game of the season.
i did watch a few college football games yesterday. i enjoyed the Michigan loss. Notre Dame vs. Georgia was pretty good. UCLA vs. Washington St. was fucking crazy last night.
the New York Rangers lost last night in Philadelphia, 4-1. they haven't won a preseason game yet. joy.
ROH was pretty good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Power, Succession, Ballers, The Righteous Gemstones, The Affair and On Becoming A God in Central Florida.
the New Orleans Saints play this afternoon in Seattle. i'd love to see the Saints win but i'm not holding my breath.
mom has a doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon. i will probably be on here when we get back home.
i hope everyone had a good Saturday. hopefully, your Sunday will be even better.
until tomorrow kids...

testing my patience...
i had to go to two stores today. we were low on some laundry supplies after i did my laundry yesterday. between both stores i spent a little over $100 which i thought was really, really good for all the stuff i got.
the New York Yankees won yesterday at Tampa, 8-4 in 10 innings. when the Yankees blew a 3-1 lead in the 9th, i was not happy. but when they exploded in the 10th, that made for a better mood. hopefully, they will win again tonight.
the owner of our local NBC station is in a money war with DirecTV so there was no Macy's fireworks show to watch last night. i didn't really care but mom was a little pissy about it.
i did listen to episode 245 of Notsam Wrestling late last night. you can find that by going here:

i hope everyone has a great weekend. remember your sunscreen and be safe.
until tomorrow kids...

80 degrees in April... nothing to see here...
i did do a little poetry work this morning. i know where my next 20 poems are going. that should happen in the next few days.
here are your videos for this day of National Poetry Month.
the New York Yankees got swept in Houston last night, losing 8-6. they are thankfully off tonight before they start a series tomorrow night at home against the White Sox. it was the first time the Astros ever swept the Yankees. joy.
i did watch a good portion of the NHL playoff games last night. will probably do the same tonight. if you ever watch any hockey, make sure it's the playoffs.
NXT was good last night, as was NXT UK.
Dark Side of the Ring was excellent last night.
What We Do in the Shadows was hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Better Things and Desus & Mero.
i honestly have no damn clue what the Sacramento Kings are doing. they had their best season in years this year and the reward is firing the Assistant GM and head coach.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done. i'm hoping to get the poems out in the morning. hopefully, the storms don't knock out the power or the internet. (knock on wood)
i'm going to check out some of the Frozen Four now. (college hockey final four)
until tomorrow kids...
