well, at least i got it all done before the rain started...

 i went to the bank today, the post office and then to Rite Aid to get my prescription. i was in the parking lot when i got text from mom saying that her pills were ready at Kroger and she had cancelled physical therapy today. so, i went back to Kroger to get those. after that, i went back home. it has been trying to rain all day long. just in the last few hours, it has finally started.

the New York Yankees came from behind yesterday and beat the Texas Rangers, 5-3. they are off tonight and start a series tomorrow at Oakland.

AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door last night was fucking great.

VICE was excellent last night.

The Righteous Gemstones was fucking hilarious last night.

the USMNT tied Jamaica last night, 1-1, in the Gold Cup. considering the USA trailed for most of the game, salvaging a point out of it was better than what i was expecting.

AEW Collision was excellent last night.

i did catch a little of the MLS games last night.

i really hope everyone took some time today to educate yourself on Juneteenth.

the New York Yankees lost both games of the doubleheader to the Red Sox yesterday, 6-2 and 4-1. it is so easy to see right now, this team fucking sucks without Aaron Judge.

doing laundry during a tornado warning...

 i think i had just got my first load of laundry going in the washer and my iPhone went nuts. when i saw it was for a tornado warning, i thought back to 4 years ago when the last one hit around here. thankfully, it was already past us when the experts on tv were saying the tornado has to be here. we got 1.5 inches of rain in just about 45 minutes. on the bright side, the smell of smoke is gone from the air. and i did get my laundry done, eventually.

the New York Yankees lost last night to Boston, 3-2, in 10 innings. they are off tonight and start a series tomorrow night at the Mets.

i did watch a good portion of the NASCAR race, mostly because the guy i bet to win was leading the race.

 i wanted to get up early this morning, but around 8 AM, i felt like i had a knot in my back the size of a gorilla. so, getting out of bed wasn't an option. i eventually got out of bed around 11. i think it is supposed to rain on and off for the rest of the day and night. joy.

the New York Yankees won last night over Boston, 3-1. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.

so here we go...

 i would like to think that i found my bottom last night when it comes to my depression, but i am old enough to know there is no bottom to my depravity, so... but i at least got a good poem out of the abyss i was in. i was hoping to write more today but mom got sick and didn't go to her physical therapy. it seems like i do my best writing at places like that anymore as i don't have as many distractions to deal with. at home, usually the poems come to me while i am in the shower or on the toilet. sadly, it has always been that way.

the New York Yankees won last night at the Dodgers, 4-1. they are off tonight and start a series tomorrow at home against the White Sox.

the old adage is that a series doesn't become a series until the home team loses. well, we have a series now in the NBA Finals. Miami won at Denver last night, 111-108. the series is now 1-1. Game 3 will be on Wednesday in Miami.

i did watch the premiere of The Idol last night. i saw all the negative reviews today and mostly agree with them. i'm going to give the show a little bit of a leash as i want it to be good. now, it definitely would have appealed to me much more when i was in my 20's. but those days are long behind me now.

Ghosts of Beirut was really good last night. the series finale is next week.

VICE was excellent last night.

not sure how much deeper a depression can get...

 now, i think i do a pretty decent job fighting my depression, battling through. but, the last few days, maybe it is the heat or maybe it is my lingering thoughts on mortality, the depression has been sinking deeper and deeper into me. and as much as i can drink away the pain or clear my head with a cold shower, nothing really works. not even a beautiful woman telling me how good i look lifts my spirits. good times.

i did vacuum the house last night. of course, after i did that mom decided she wanted to open the box her new light was in and to put it together. i looked at all the Styrofoam and cardboard on what i just vacuumed. i just started to laugh. honestly, why the fuck do i even bother to do this shit anymore? of course, i ended up putting the light together. as much as she wants to think she can still do things, the more she has to realize that she can't.

Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final went to Las Vegas last night. they beat Florida, 5-2. Game 2 is Monday night.

the New York Yankees won last night at the Dodgers, 6-3. they go for the series win tonight on ESPN.

AEW Rampage was really good last night.
