as many of you know by now, i hate having arthritis. and on days like these, i feel like i am just dragging. but, when you get so fucking used to pain, it always just seems like you are going through the motions. good times.
i did write 4 poems yesterday while mom was in physical therapy. i typed those up and i think they are pretty good. i need to write some more so i can get another batch of poems out to the world.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.
congrats to the Denver Nuggets on winning the NBA title last night. they defeated Miami, 94-89.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Deadliest Catch, Don't Forget the Lyrics, Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge and Dark Side of the Ring.
the Yankees start a series tonight at the Mets. given that Judge and Alonso aren't playing in these games, it takes a bit of the luster off.
Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final is tonight. Las Vegas is up 3-1 and will have a chance to win the cup at home.
i got an appointment for tomorrow afternoon to take the Highlander in. the air keeps going down in that left rear tire, so i know there is a hole somewhere in it. hopefully, they can just patch it. i don't want to go through the circus of getting a new tire again, unless they actually have one there this time.
so, the plan i suppose is to get some of the grocery shopping done before i have to take the Highlander in. and then, fingers crossed, i can get the rest of the shopping done after the appointment.
the New York Rangers finally hired a new coach. i'm not exactly thrilled, but i do trust Chris Drury. so, time will tell.
i need to get the trash picked up and figure out dinner tonight. so, that's all for me kids.
i will be on here tomorrow sometime after the circus is over. i'm preparing for the worst so that hopefully everything goes smoothly tomorrow.
stop laughing.
until tomorrow kids...

so, i almost got everything done yesterday. everything but the damn haircut. i didn't feel like waiting forever at the place i get it done at, so i figured i would do it today. so, once i get this thing written, i'll be off to go do that.
the New York Yankees whipped the Cubs yesterday, 18-4. this Yankees team is really reminding me of the championship teams of years past. they are off today and start a series with Tampa Bay at home tomorrow night.
the season finale of Barry last night was fucking great.
the series finale of The Baby last night was really good.
Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.
the series finale of Gaslit was very good last night.
VICE was very good last night.
The Man Who Fell To Earth was great last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw, Don't Forget the Lyrics and Miz & Mrs.
i did listen to episode 399 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can listen to that by going here:
Game 5 of the NBA Finals is tonight. i will probably watch some of that.
i need to go get my pills from Rite Aid today. i'm going to do that before i go to get my haircut.
when i get home, i need to do the dishes.
hard to believe my stepfather would have been 75 years old today.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
mom told me she is planning on going to physical therapy tomorrow, so i should be on here after that is done. (update... she just got a call that her therapist is sick and her appointment has been canceled)

so, for most of yesterday, i was in my massage chair with ice on my back. i just love having a bad back in the summer.
the Yankees lost yesterday at Philadelphia, 8-7 in 10 innings. hopefully, they will win this afternoon.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs yesterday:
ROH and MLW were both pretty good last night.
thankfully, Christian Eriksen didn't die yesterday after he collapsed at the Denmark vs. Finland game at the Euro 2020. i was really surprised when they started the game back up later in the day. i guess Christian face-timed with his teammates and wanted them to go play as he was feeling better. i doubt that he thought they would end up losing 1-0 to Finland. Belgium defeated Russia yesterday 3-0. this morning, England defeated Croatia, 1-0.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Axios, Last Week Tonight, Batwoman, The Chi, Black Monday, Flatbush Misdemeanors and Ziwe. i'll be watching WWE NXT Takeover: In Your House on Peacock for most of the evening.
i'm sure i'll watch some of the NHL and NBA playoffs today as well.
so, i got up early this morning, put the dishes away, watered the plants and decided to make the biscuits that had been in the fridge forever it seems like. i figured that would be something different for breakfast this morning. of course, because of the sodium in it, mom could have only one.
my sister made some steaks last night for dinner. they were pretty good. i'm not sure what time she is leaving today, but i imagine it will be soon.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday will be even better.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.

i got up around 8 this morning. it was nice enough last night that i was able to turn off the AC and open up the house a bit. that was also the plan this morning. of course, it had to start raining as soon as i got the newspaper inside. thankfully, that has stopped. hopefully, it won't rain again for the rest of the day.
after i get this done, i need to vacuum the house and get some poems written. good times.
Smackdown and 205 Live were excellent last night. i could watch Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles wrestle forever and never get bored.
Real Time with Bill Maher was really good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be ROH.
i'm not sure what i'll be doing this afternoon, other than writing. i might have some pills to pick up for myself. most likely, that will happen tomorrow. i suppose if i want to nap, i might put on some golf.
i just checked and i guess the last of my Amazon order is supposed to be here today. that will make me happy.
i will probably be on here early tomorrow. with wrestling and all the Sunday night shows happening tomorrow, i'll be a busy boy.
i'm off to go vacuum.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

it has been really windy today. the sky has looked like rain all damn day and it hasn't got out of the 60's all day long. i'm hoping it will fucking rain soon as i'm sick of the ache. i feel like i have gone through every ice pack we have today. joy.
i did watch all of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final last night. as a guy who loves to see everything Boston choke in a final, i was a happy man last night. here are your highlights:
NXT was really good last night.
The Wrestlers was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lip Sync Battle, Life in Pieces, Desus & Mero and Baskets.
i did listen to episode 242 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:
the New York Yankees start a 4 game series tonight in Chicago against the White Sox. hopefully, the Yankees can get back to winning series again. they are in first place in the division by a 1/2 game.
i did watch a little of the Women's World Cup today. China vs. South Africa did help me get a little more sleep.
Game 6 of the NBA Finals is tonight. i will probably watch some of that, especially near the end of the game. as much as i would love to see a Game 7, i won't believe it until i see it happen.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store.
the wind is so damn bad here it blew open the door that goes into our garage. good times.
that's all for me kids. until tomorrow.

one of the joys of being a loner is truly not having to deal with certain amounts of shit that arise during adult life. today would be the perfect example. for the few friends i do have, i will go to unreal lengths to help them if i fucking can. now, with a certain special someone, that kind of help is determined from their end to be an accusation that they haven't been trying their best. i have swallowed so much fucking pride in my life, i'm choking to death on it. i remember something i heard when i was little. something to the effect that some people are determined to burn every fucking bridge in their life they can. it's fucking tragic at times, but i'm just stubborn and cynical enough to not give a shit. and it's the moments the Irish temper deep within starts to rage and i deeply understand how evil i really can be. and i don't think many people know, or even give a shit, how hard it has been to control that fucking demon for 42 years. i really hope Debbie Kirk gets good news tomorrow. regardless, i know somehow, i did something wrong along the way and i should feel bad for it. the joys of being an asshole is you are simply incapable of those moments any longer. i care, but never press your luck. https://www.gofundme.com/5m0wfqg
the New York Yankees got some strong pitching last night and just enough offense to win, 3-0 over Washington. they will go for the sweep tonight.
Smackdown was really good last night.
205 Live was excellent last night.
Deadliest Catch was good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Lucha Underground. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
hard to believe the World Cup starts tomorrow. i was happy that the USA, Canada and Mexico won the bid for the 2026 World Cup. of course, i don't like my chances of being alive to actually watch it.
i will probably do some poetry work the next few days while the soccer games are on. in a perfect world, i'll have the new chapbook in the format correctly by the time the cover art arrives. in reality, well, we'll see.
i will probably be on here in the afternoon after the first game of the World Cup, Russia vs. Saudi Arabia.
that's all for me kids. it's raining and the adrenaline only lasts so long these days.

my bones were aching before i went out to get the mail. when i noticed the really dark cloud as i walked out to the mailbox, i knew i was in for a shitty afternoon. i did my best to get the mail inside next door before it started to pour. and by pour, i mean just fucking dump buckets and buckets of fucking rain. when it really rains like this, both of my legs feel like they are going to snap in two. that should illustrate to you how brutal my arthritis pain is.
for some fucking reason, during the rain i decided to send out some poems. i sent out 13 poems; 2 to Winedrunk Sidewalk, 5 to Synchronized Chaos and 6 to Midnight Lane Boutique. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.
the New York Yankees pissed away a lead last night only to have Aaron Judge bail them out again. he hit his major league leading 22nd home run to help the Yankees beat the Angels last night, 5-3. that's the Yankees sixth straight win. hopefully they make it 7 tonight.
The Putin Interviews, Part 1 last night was pretty good. i have always had a fascination with Russia since i was told as a child they were evil. i was never the type of kid to just take what my elders told me and believe it. i had to learn for myself. the Russian people are not evil. the government, like ALL governments, most likely is. and i see how Putin could easily manipulate Trump given their shared hatred for NATO. all in all, i thought it was a good start. hopefully Part 2 tonight will be as good.
Monday Night Raw started off so good last night. the brawl between Samoa Joe and Brock Lesnar was great. and then the show just sort of did nothing else for the rest of the night. i was hoping that the tag team title rematch was going to save the show, especially since it was 2 out of 3 falls. of course, when you have the final fall be a double count out, there's no way anyone could be happy with that finish.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, Deadliest Catch, The Jim Jefferies Show and The Putin Interviews, Part 2. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i did listen to the latest Jim Norton & Sam Roberts podcast today. you can find that by going here:
i didn't watch any of the NBA Finals last night. i figured Golden State was going to win. the only thing i didn't like about that was David West getting a title. he will always be a piece of shit from Xavier that i will hate.
i found out today that my aunt, who got her hip replaced the same day as mom, has to go back to the hospital and more or less have the surgery redone. apparently she got an infection. both mom and i really wonder if she will ever make it back to the house next door.
that's all for me today kids. i have trash to pick up and i have to take a fucking shower.

i was busy watching soccer yesterday when i heard the news that the number of dead in the mass shooting in Orlando had gone up to 50. for a good portion of yesterday i was a zombie watching the news and letting the thoughts gather in my head. hypocrisy is easy to write about when it runs so fucking rampant in this country. i've never heard a good argument why you need an assault rifle to hunt. and i will laugh at everyone that forgets the shooter was born in this country. and if you're going to deport people based on religion, you explain to me how that doesn't sound like Germany in the late 1930's. i saw this photo last night and decided to make it my profile picture:
sure, it's a bit naive but it's a wonderful thought. the 3 poems i wrote last night were about the shooting. i did like one ending i had where i hope the shooter's son is gay and realizes what a fuck up his father was. i typed the poems up this afternoon. i have no clue when or if i will send them out one day.
the Copa America was crazy last night. Ecuador destroyed Haiti 4-0 and will play the USA in the quarterfinals. Peru upset Brazil 1-0 with a goal that should not have counted. it was clearly a hand ball and will undoubtedly bring forth video replay for goals in soccer one day. that disputed goal knocked Brazil out of the tournament. Peru will play Colombia.
the Copa America games tonight are Mexico vs. Venezuela and Uruguay vs. Jamaica.
the Euro 2016 tournament isn't as crazy but is still entertaining. here are the scored from yesterday:
Croatia 1 Turkey 0, Poland 1 Northern Ireland 0, Germany 2 Ukraine 0. i got up this morning in time to watch Spain vs. Czech Republic. i wanted to see how David de Gea would play for Spain. it was a pretty boring game and de Gea was good when called upon. Spain won late 1-0. Ireland and Sweden played to a 1-1 draw in a pretty entertaining game. but the game coming up next should be great, Italy vs. Belgium.
the Old Timer's Day festivities yesterday were good. it was nice to see some of the old Yankees from the past. plus, the way Hideki Matsui hit that home run in the game, i'm surprised the Yankees didn't sign him today. as for the regular game, the Yankees didn't muster much offense and lost 4-1. thankfully, they are off today. i believe they start a series in Colorado tomorrow night.
i did watch some of the Tony Awards last night. i thought the opening was really good.
the Sunday night shows were excellent last night. the series finale of House of Lies was pretty interesting. not so much funny but it was beautiful to watch given that it was filmed in Cuba. i can only imagine what that country will look like when the embargo gets lifted one day. Veep was hilarious. Silicon Valley was really good. Penny Dreadful was so fucking amazing last night. the ending literally had me getting out of my bed saying holy shit. i can't wait for the 2 hour season finale next week. Last Week Tonight was brilliant as always:
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight so i'll be flipping between soccer, the NBA Finals and Monday Night Raw.
i am interested to see if Draymond Green being suspended will actually mean anything in Game 5 of the NBA Finals tonight.
the Penguins won the Stanley Cup last night. i will only say congrats to Carl Hagelin. he's one of my favorite New York Rangers. i'm really happy for him. as for the rest of the team, they can go fuck themselves.
i really didn't go outside at all today. i can't wait to go on vacation in July in Cleveland. 2 of those days will mostly be outside as well. i don't want rain, but i wouldn't mind a cool fucking breeze while i'm there.
that's all for me kids. i hope everyone had a great weekend. do the entire world a favor, please stop teaching your children to hate. or, better yet, quit having fucking kids.

i'm not sure a Saturday morning gets better than waking up to see Manchester City lose 2-0. add to that, albeit a totally fucking lackluster game, a 1-0 Manchester United victory and now the lead in the Premier League is 15 points. with 9 games to go. i'll step out on a limb and say i think United has it in the bag now.
i watched maybe the first 3 minutes of the New York Rangers game yesterday. watching them give up a goal and having to listen to the Pittsburgh announcers was simply too much for me to handle. they lost 3-0, which sucks. but, since i have the Penguins starting goalie on my fantasy hockey team, the shutout helped me. i've got a 9-1 lead going into today. would be nice to get on a roll before the fantasy hockey playoffs start. and it would be nice if the Rangers woke the fuck up soon and realized the season is already half over.
i noticed the Yankees didn't score a run in 2 different games yesterday. wow, i'm really looking forward to this season. fuck me.
i'm thinking i'll probably end up seeing Louisville and Ohio State next week in the college basketball games at UD Arena. i'll know for sure at 6 pm tonight. all i'm really hoping for is some great games.
enjoyed ROH last night. i'm really hoping the SCUM angle doesn't become yet another NWO poorly done rehash of a gimmick from the 90's.
i'll try not to get too drunk that i sleep through my Sunday night shows. no guarantees though. i feel like 37 going on 70.
hope everyone has a great day. be safe. get the hangover food ready.
