when it rains like it has for the last couple of days, i basically know i am not going to get any good sleep. so, i basically live off of the three hours at night, a few naps here and there, etc. last night, i tried to write some poems and have that make me sleepy. after i typed up the 4 i wrote, sleep really didn't come. joy.
here are your videos for this day of National Poetry Month:
the Yankees won last night at home against Arizona, 9-7. they start a series today at the Pirates.
Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage was pretty funny last night.
i did get my laundry started today. of course, my back has filed a protest, but when you run out of clean underwear...

well, it wasn't as cold as it has been, but it did snow today. just enough to coat everything again. Orkin came out this morning to check the traps in the attic. no squirrels this time. i did get a nice long nap with some ice on my back before the Manchester United game today.

i think i am going to make the pulled pork tonight that is in the fridge. i can do that in the microwave.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i forgot to mention yesterday that the new book is definitely a go. i heard from JPR and he loved it. he loves the title i picked for it. now, its just a matter of getting a cover, etc. etc. i'm hoping this will come out sometime in 2025. if so, i will be whoring it around as usual.

i slept like shit last night. DraftKings and I got into it. i thought i had won a bet on the USWNT that would have won me over $36 on bet of .66 cents. well, after they paid, they must have found some other stats that showed i was wrong, so they took the money away. i sent them a complaint, wondering why the official stats show that i have a win for the number of corners and somehow, their stats have something else. they would never answer any of my questions. it kind of reminded me of what a shitty parent does. it is what it is because i said so. nothing is based in fact or truth. so, as i told my mother, this is why the house always wins. it is really easy to do when you simply change the fucking rules as you go along. this will be one of those things i will be pissy about for a long damn time.
the USWNT defeated Germany yesterday, 4-1.
the Yankees won last night at Boston, 8-2. they start a series tonight at the Phillies.

mom just had me cancel her physical therapy appointment today. she's feeling dizzy, which most likely means the humidity got to her and her Meniere's Disease is in overdrive. joy.

i really tried to sleep in my bed last night. i couldn't find a comfortable position for anything. after 45 minutes, i gave up and went out to the living room. if i get some ice on my back in my massage chair, i'm usually out in a few minutes. i got close to 4 hours in that chair last night and a good long nap watching tennis this morning. i guess Dan Soder's line is correct... you want to get some sleep? eat a big meal. it never fails.
the New York Yankees came from behind yesterday in the top of the 9th and defeated San Francisco, 7-5. the Yankees are off tonight and start a series at home against the Twins tomorrow.

i did get my shipment of sports cards i ordered today. i was hoping they would be better but i did get a few good ones and plenty of cards i had never seen before. so, the collector in me loved that. the businessman man in me wants to kill that little fucker.
i think i am going to go to Rite Aid when i get this done to pick up my pills. i'll make dinner when i get back home.

first off, i hope 2024 is the best year for everyone, even my fucking enemies. and i mean that, i am hoping to build on what i was able to accomplish in 2023. and i believe a big part of that is to continue to be as positive as i possibly can be about most things. now, i do know i am too much of an asshole and realist to be 100% positive all the time. but, as the muse has pointed out from time to time, i have made some changes in my life that are very positive. and the biggest one was cutting out nearly all the negative people in my life. last year was the first year that it truly felt like that was working for me. and i certainly want to build upon that in 2024.
the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at Tampa Bay, 23-13. they somehow still have a chance to make the playoffs. they finish up the season at home against the Falcons on Sunday.
i did watch plenty of NFL games yesterday. made a little money as well.

i do hope everyone had a great weekend.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
yesterday was a busy ass day for me. and i only made it busier by taking a nap right after i got this blog done. but, i did get everything done yesterday that i was hoping to; laundry, mom's bills, etc.
so, let me start off with the New York Rangers. they pissed away a 2 goal lead yesterday and lost at New Jersey in OT, 4-3. not exactly how i wanted to wake up from the nap.
i did watch both NFL games yesterday. got the winners of the games correct but nothing much else.
Austin City Limits was really good last night.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of George & Tammy.
the New Orleans Saints play today at home against Carolina. hopefully, they will finish this season with a win.
i'm sure i will watch some other NFL games today as well. most of my bets today are parlay bets or a few no-brainers, especially the win if the Bengals score bet. i'm pretty confident i will win $50 on that one.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:
yesterday was one of the more frustrating days of my life and that has boiled over to today. and this has nothing to do with sports, even though i would have a good argument to make... mom is in self-sabotage mode and it is really pissing me off. i'm pretty sure she didn't take any of her medicine yesterday and i know for a fact she hasn't taken any of it today. i asked her plainly if this was the way she wants to die? she said no. she had one bite of a grilled cheese sandwich i made her last night. other than that, all she had was the french toast and bacon we had for breakfast. and she has had nothing to eat today. and she wonders why she feels weird, has pissed her pants 5 different times today and doesn't understand what is going on. i told her like she preached to us kids when we were growing up, choices and consequences. so, i'm hoping i can get her to take her damn meds and actually eat something when she wakes up. i told her, when her insurance company comes to do the Medicare checkup and she is out of it mentally, don't blame me when you get taken away somewhere. and to top everything else off, the fucking Highlander has a flat tire. joy.
the New York Rangers lost last night in Nashville, 2-1. they play tonight at home against Arizona.
i did watch some college football games yesterday:

so, i went out to get the paper this morning and just checked the mailbox because the mail hadn't been delivered when i checked yesterday. sure enough, the mailbox was full and there were two small packages near the front door. those had to have been there since last night. i hate that none of these motherfuckers bother to ring the doorbell to let us know there is a package there. the packages were a nice little gift from Tito's vodka and the baseball cards i ordered from Repacked Wax.
my big plan to have the blog done before Manchester United played this morning went to shit when i didn't wake up until 10 this morning. i did get close to 6 hours of sleep, which considering i was helping mom in the bathroom at 3 in the morning, was nothing short of a minor miracle. back to the game. Christian Eriksen scored his first goal for Manchester United in the first half. Fulham tied the game in the second half. and then, the boy wonder, Alejandro Garnacho, scored at the death for United to win, 2-1.
the New Orleans Saints lost at the Steelers today, 20-10. thankfully, i didn't watch much of the game.
the New York Knicks lost this afternoon at home to the Thunder, 145-135.
the USWNT is playing Germany right now, hoping to avoid their first ever 4 game losing streak. they are currently losing 1-0 in the 30th minute.
i feel like i am over the worst of my cold, though i do break into some coughing fits now and then. i need to pick up some pills at Rite Aid, so i'm hoping they have some cough drops and some NyQuil.
i need to go see if i can get that tire pumped back up, so that's all for me kids.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from Rite Aid.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday will be even better.
until tomorrow kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, the Yankees were up 5-3 last night in Cleveland, in the bottom of the 9th. i figured Holmes would be coming on for the save. apparently, so did the players. when Aaron Boone brought in Schmidt instead, my first reaction was what the fuck. of course, the Yankees lost the game, 6-5. after the game, Boone said Holmes was only going to be used in case of emergency. apparently, having the bases loaded and holding on to a 5-4 lead isn't an emergency. Holmes after the game said he was good to go and told the coaches that before the game. so, one of them is lying and considering Boone can't coach himself out of a wet paper bag in the playoffs, i'm going to say he is. i'm so fucking sick and tired of how this team plays in the playoffs, i'm at the point where either Boone needs to go. or, maybe it is time to finally have a new GM for the first in a quarter century. or hell, how nice would it be if Hal Steinbrenner grew a set of balls and got rid of them both. i won't be watching Game 4 tonight, even if the Yankees are winning.
here are your highlights from the MLB playoffs yesterday:
so, when i saw the clock this morning, it was 6:30. i had been asleep for roughly 2 hours. i decided to sleep a little longer and then i would get going. that little longer became roughly 9:10 this morning. so much for getting the blog done before Manchester United played this morning.
Manchester United finished 0-0 against Newcastle today. United was fucking horrible in the final 3rd today. they had point blank chances they fucking missed. that's how you make a draw feel like a loss.
the Saints are playing at home today against the Bengals. it is currently 7-7.
Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night.
i did watch a little of the MLS playoffs yesterday. i will probably watch some today as well.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Last Week Tonight, Power Book III: Raising Kanan and Let The Right One In.
the baseball cards i got from Repacked Wax yesterday were very good. a good handful of the cards were from before i was born.
i think i'm going to fill out my absentee ballot today. i don't trust the postal service much anymore, so i'm going to fill it out and send it way before the deadline.
the Saints are currently up 20-14 at halftime.
here are some of the highlights from a crazy Saturday of college football:
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
i should be on here in the morning/early afternoon tomorrow. unless i actually get up early enough to get my haircut and get a flu shot.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
the Yankees lost last night to Boston, 6-2. i will be stunned if Aaron Boone is back next season. personally, i hope he's not. he was given a team 4 years ago that was 1 game away from the World Series. he never got the team that close in his 4 years, and he had Stanton and Cole on top of it. the whole thing for me is if Boone goes, then Cashman has to go as well. they need a whole organizational switch and fucking realize that all these teams have passed them by. if The Boss was still alive, i think a few of them would have been walking back from Boston last night.
The Voice was good last night. i can't wait for the battles to begin.
NXT was excellent last night.

so, i got the grocery shopping done just in time today to get rained on. i was hoping i went early enough that i would avoid the rain. not so much. i did get my mom a dozen yellow roses today. those are her favorite. i'm hoping they cheer her up from a couple of really shitty days.
my best guess is she blacked out yesterday and that caused her fall. i have stressed to her endlessly that she can ask me for help with anything and how pride will kill her before any sickness she has. she had me do some of her laundry today. as i joke with her, all part of staying in the will.
i'm waiting to hear back from this guy on the west coast who might be interested in some baseball cards. i'm currently running this deal of 150 cards of your favorite team for $15. the price includes shipping. if any of you reading this might be interested, just email me at jcampb4593@aol.com and let me know.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i would love to get some writing done either late tonight or tomorrow.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the Devils. this is their next to last preseason game. hopefully, the Rangers will win.
that's all for me kids. i have a bad back aching for an ice pack and my massage chair.
until tomorrow...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.

thankfully, today was sunny. of course, since i decided i better write some poems last night, i didn't get to bed until 5 this morning. and lucky me, i was up at 8:30 this time.
i wrote 3 poems last night. first poems i had written in a couple of weeks. hopefully, i will have some more in the next few days.
Manchester United and Chelsea played a lifeless 0-0 draw yesterday. there's a few hours of my life i'll never get back.
the New York Rangers lost to Boston yesterday 4-1. i wasn't that surprised honestly.
the New York Yankees lost yesterday to Toronto, 6-4. they won today over Detroit, 5-4. they certainly have home run hitters this year, that's for sure.
Axios was very good last night.
Allen v. Farrow was very disturbing last night. it's obvious that Woody Allen has been a predator for the majority of his adult life.
Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at Saint Bonaventure. i believe Dayton is locked into the 8/9 game for the A10 Tournament and i'm pretty sure Saint Bonaventure is going to be the #1 seed. and since Dayton has won a few games in a row up there, i'm sure Dayton will probably get blown out tonight.
i did listen to episode 332 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can listen to that by going here:
i mailed the baseball cards out today at the post office. after that, i went to the bank to make a deposit. Alexis was working there again. i don't believe she understands just how fucking sexy she is. after that, i had to go to Kroger to pick up prescriptions for myself and my mother. i did stop by the Rite-Aid up there. no luck on any baseball or football cards. i did get the first part of my Amazon order in today. now i have 3 more storage boxes for the cards.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. it will most likely be in between loads of laundry.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
thanks to everyone that has checked out my latest published poems:
