not bad for running on less than 4 hours of sleep...

i think i got to bed around 5:45 this morning. the phone was ringing constantly around 9:15 this morning. i said fuck it and got up. the fact that i haven't felt tired yet is somewhat amazing to me. although, i definitely could have taken a power nap while i was in the waiting room at the doctor's office. i always try to be early to appointments so maybe i can get in and out and on with my damn day. this time i wasn't lucky at all. i got there early and waited for over 30 minutes. and then i got called back, got my shot and was told i could go. wait over 30 minutes for about 2 minutes of what was needed. fuck me.

i went to Meijer after my appointment. the website said they had the things i was looking for. of course, the store didn't have shit. i did get a few things that mom needed. i got a few hits on the baseball cards i got today; a couple rookies and a nice heritage card i wasn't expecting...

NXT Takeover: In Your House was fucking great last night. i am so happy Io Shirai won the women's title last night.

Be Water was fascinating last night. i have always been a fan of Bruce Lee.

VICE was excellent last night.

Shelter in Place with Shane Smith was very good yesterday.

I Know This Much Is True was great last night. next week is the finale.

you have no clue how happy this made me...

we are now into this summer pattern of it getting warm every morning and then the afternoon is nothing but storms. joy.

this morning i was putting away the trash can next door when the neighbor to that house came out and talked to me. he asked me if i liked all these birds? i have like 4 bird feeders in the front yard. i told him it's mostly for my mother. he asked if she likes watching them. i said yes. he looks at me and says with a rather loud voice those birds nest in that tree over there and shit all over any of the cars i leave out in the driveway. inside my head, i was fucking laughing. out of my mouth came, oh yeah? i didn't bother to apologize or ask if he wanted me to do something about it. i simply walked away. when i told mom about it, i said i might get some bird food with some berries in it next time, make it a little more colorful for him. mind you, this old guy is a Republican and acts like he runs the cul-de-sac. that might be the best joy i have this week.

the rain today has started a pain in my neck that runs all the way down my spine. i really could use some high grade shit right now.

the New York Yankees lost last night to the Mets, 4-2. their home run streak ended at 31 games. oh well. hopefully they get back to winning tonight.

i turned on the Gold Cup last night right at the start of extra time. i felt bad for Haiti, as the penalty was a little harsh (still the right call though) and they hit the crossbar with like 2 minutes left in the game. Mexico won 1-0. they will advance to the finals to play the winner of Jamaica vs. USA tonight.

i really hope the USA plays better tonight or i don't think they will get past Jamaica.

the Netherlands defeated Sweden today 1-0 at the Women's World Cup. that game went to extra time as well. so the final on Sunday will be the Netherlands vs. USA. the third place game on Saturday will be Sweden vs. England.

Smackdown was pretty good last night but nowhere close to as good as Raw was. 205 Live was really good last night.

Songland was pretty good last night.

Deadliest Catch was excellent last night. the whole episode was about all the theories about what cause the Destination to sink two years ago.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. i expect some crazy shit tonight at the eviction.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother and two episodes of The Wrestlers. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i watched NXT UK this afternoon. it was excellent.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i know most of the day tomorrow i will be doing my laundry. i'll probably try to get a blog done in the morning or early afternoon maybe.

hope the weather is better wherever you are.

and if you are traveling for the Fourth of July, be safe.

until tomorrow kids...

i've had better afternoons...

so i spent my afternoon watching Barcelona vs. Liverpool. i was hoping to really enjoy Liverpool getting knocked out of the Champions League. instead, i watched a team that Manchester United couldn't score on give up 4 fucking goals to Liverpool and lose their 3-0 lead from the first leg. the conspiracy theorist in me truly believes that Barcelona did this to truly fuck with every Manchester United fan on earth. what truly is depressing is to realize the gulf between where Liverpool are now and where Manchester United is now. fuck me.

the New York Yankees won last night over Seattle, 7-3. hopefully they can win again tonight.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

The Voice was really good last night. i have no damn clue who is going home tonight.

Desus & Mero was hilarious last night.

Monday Night Raw was crazy last night. i guarantee the show was probably still being written as the show started.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Voice, The Jim Jefferies Show, Miz & Mrs. and Deadliest Catch. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i do plan on watching some of the NBA and NHL playoffs tonight, especially Game 7 between Dallas and St. Louis. if Dallas wins, the New York Rangers will be getting the Stars first round draft pick as part of the Mats Zuccarello trade. so you know who i will be rooting for tonight.

i have trash to go pick up, so that's all for me kids.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow...

exactly what i wanted to wake up to

i really didn't give a shit that Manchester United was paying Fulham this morning and should win the match easily. i needed to see them win a match easily to believe they still had such a thing inside of them. thankfully, 3 first half goals will help to make someone believe. United ended up winning 4-1 today. that was a breath of fresh air considering how awful they have been at times this season.

hopefully that is a sign of good things to come today.

i got my first batch of Christmas cards done last night. i will hopefully get the rest of that shit done sometime this weekend.

VICE was very interesting last night.

NJPW was very good last night.

Mike Judge Presents: Tales From the Tour Bus was part 2 of the James Brown story last night. it was great as usual.

both episodes of Room 104 last night were excellent.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live and ROH.

i do plan on watching the Army vs. Navy game this afternoon. that's one game i usually try to watch every year.

the New York Rangers play tonight down in Florida against the Panthers. the Rangers have had a week off basically, so i'd really like to see them play well tonight and win.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at Auburn. i'm not expecting Dayton to win, but i'd love to see the game at the very least be competitive for all 40 minutes.

i do plan on watching some of the MLS Cup final tonight between Atlanta and Portland.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. if the weather is good where you are, please take advantage of it.

i'll be on here tomorrow before the New Orleans Saints play in the afternoon.

that's all for me kids.

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

and suddenly, the cool breeze has gone away...

i knew when mom said she wanted to go to the local grocery store today, she was feeling better. of course, we were gone for less than a hour and she was pooped by the time we got back. her blood sugar has finally started approaching "normal" numbers. i'm hoping this injection will do her some good, but it's also a matter of her wanting it to. and she wonders why i tell her she's on the back side of the circle now.

the trip to the bank yesterday was interesting. the teller was this beautiful and i mean fucking beautiful black woman named Alexis. she had to be in her early 20's i believe. she had these neon blue fingernails that will soon be dancing in my poems, trust me. i hope to god i see her again. that's the kind of woman you can write books about.

i got home in time to watch the New York Yankees play like shit and lose to Baltimore 7-5. mostly, it was Sonny Gray that shit the bed, during and after the game. thankfully, Lance Lynn came in and gave the Yankees a chance. but, the offense left a small village on base. they pissed away a chance to get closer to Boston. instead, they are now 5 1/2 games out and start a 4 game series in Boston tonight. they will need to win at least 3 out of 4 if they truly have any fucking desire to win this division.

i was not surprised when the Urban Meyer news hit last night. and i will not be surprised if/when Ohio State fires him. Urban has never learned it's a different world we all live in now.

NXT was excellent last night.

Lucha Underground was really good last night.

Big Brother was good last night. i truly hope Rachel gets evicted tonight and the side of the house that believes they are in power are dumbfounded once again. this has been the best season in years.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother and Snowfall.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. you can find that by going here:

the humidity made a return today, so summer is truly back in effect now.

i think the first NFL preseason game is tonight. i might watch a little, but not much of it.

i did watch a little of the MLS All-Star game last night.

i'll be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store. i know i have some prescriptions to pick up and i need a bottle of spiced rum as well. oh yeah, and whatever mom has on the scroll.

and here comes the rain to ruin another day...

i'm the only asshole i know that can get 11 poems published in a day and complain about it. the rain that is coming down is truly fucking with me at the moment. these are the days i need that young kid Bukowski talked about to do this shit.

a little World  Cup update:
i watched most of Denmark and Australia this morning. it ended in a 1-1 draw. right now France is leading Peru 1-0 in the 82nd minute. Argentina and Croatia play later today.

the New York Yankees were down 5-0 to Seattle last night and i was not happy. but, the sign of a great team is their ability to never quit. and that is exactly what the Yankees did last night. they chipped away and eventually Gary Sanchez tied the game at 5 in the 8th with a huge two run homer. in the bottom of the 9th, Giancarlo Stanton had his first signature Yankee moment. the Yankees won 7-5. they will go for the sweep this afternoon.

Lucha Underground was really good last night.

NXT was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Lip Sync Battle.

i will probably spend most of tonight watching the NBA Draft. there is the outside chance someone from Dayton might get taken in the second round. Dayton hasn't had anyone selected in the draft in 28 years.

at some point today, i will listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast. you can find that by going here: https://soundcloud.com/srwrestling/srw-191-jeff-jarrett-pt-2

my friend Debbie Kirk is getting much closer to having surgery, chemo, etc. she really could use anything you can possibly give to support her. below is the link to go to. please spread it around.
https://www.gofundme.com/5m0wfqg

if my pain allows, at some point today i need to go to the drugstore and probably our local grocery store as well. and there really isn't anything better than seeing me in public when i am hurting. it's like a pissed off dog roaming the aisles begging for someone to make the mistake.

thanks to everyone for the compliments regarding the poems today. i really do appreciate them more than i will probably ever let on.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i know i need to go grocery shopping at the big store tomorrow, but that won't happen until my pills are ready. hopefully this oppressive heat will finally be gone.

that's all for me kids.

no good sleep and rain, what a combination

before i start my bitching about some woman talking to me until 3 in the morning about a fucking scam she was trying to hook me into, a little poetry news to get to.

i heard back from The Beatnik Cowboy on my recent poetry submission. they decided to pass on the 3 poems i sent. i never quite understand the rejection letters when they tell me about how good the poems are. apparently, they weren't quite good enough. oh well. i shouldn't have much of a problem finding a new home for those.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

the season finale of Life in Pieces was excellent last night.

the season finale of Gotham last night was fucking great. next season, which will be the final season of Gotham, should be amazing.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be VICE, NJPW, Major League Wrestling, Real Time with Bill Maher and Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas.

the New York Yankees start a series at the Royals tonight. it will be nice to see the Yankees play again actually.

i will probably watch some of the NHL playoffs tonight as well.

we got over an inch of rain this morning. it was a fucking joy to go to the grocery store while that was happening. at least by the time i got out of the store it was basically just a persistent drizzle. of course, i took a wrong step walking into the store. so my right foot was killing me the entire time i was in the grocery store. and the fucking store keeps moving shit around. just a pain in the fucking ass.

but at least the toys were on sale today. mom laughed when she saw those with the groceries. i'm not one that will turn down a buy 1 get 1 free sale on the good shit.

so this woman in Nigeria last night was telling me her university needs me to open an account here in the USA so they can send me money so i can turn around and send that money to the woman in Nigeria. now, i do know, or at least i think i know, this woman is a student at said university in England. she's on some work study in Nigeria, supposedly. so, i played along and asked her to send me some paperwork that the school surely would have sent her so i can make sure this is official and everything. i told her if i didn't have that paperwork by tonight, i know this is a fucking scam. which i will then around and report her and block her so i won't be entertaining myself at 3 in the morning again with this bullshit. and this is all due to me wanting my Google Hangouts to be public so if someone actually reads something of mine and wants to contact me about it, they can do so and i will gladly get in touch with them.

i need to go ice my back down.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i guess there's some fucking big deal wedding tomorrow or something. the more important thing... i'll be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Chelsea in the FA Cup Final. hopefully, i will be in a good mood.
