odds and ends...

 i know i mentioned something the other day about wanting to redo my room. well, the problem is i actually measured, and what i wanted to do isn't going to work. so, back to the drawing board. yesterday was pretty crazy. i did get a poem written late last night. i was pretty happy about that.

the Yankees won yesterday at home against the Red Sox, 14-4. Ben Rice became the first Yankees rookie to hit 3 HR in the same game. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.

the Euro 2024 matches yesterday were crazy. England defeated Switzerland on penalty kicks, 5-3. Netherlands defeated Turkey, 2-1. so, in the semifinals, Spain will play France and England takes on Netherlands.

at the Copa America yesterday, Colombia crushed Panama, 5-0. Uruguay beat Brazil 4-2 on penalty kicks. so, in the semifinals, Canada plays Argentina and Colombia takes on Uruguay.

WWE Money in the Bank was really good last night.

AEW Collision was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Power Book II: Ghost.

welcome to the weekend...

 i was hoping to have this done already, but, i got a couple extra hours of sleep this morning. i know i need that more than the time to finish the blog.

so, the Yankees were one strike away from winning last night. and you know if i start the sentence like that, what is coming next... their closer pissed that away and since the Yankees absolutely suck in extra innings. they managed to turn a 3-1 near victory into a 5-3 loss to the Red Sox. fuck me.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were excellent last night.

apparently, there was a tornado a few miles away from where i live last night. i didn't know anything about it until around 3 in the morning or so. the way the weather has been here lately, tornadoes around here aren't that surprising anymore.

the New York Yankees broke out the bats yesterday and defeated Tampa, 13-5 to go back into first place in the AL East. the Yankees start a series tonight at Baltimore. hopefully the offense can keep on rolling.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs yesterday:

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

team USA did defeat Germany yesterday 3-1 at the Hockey World Championships. they play Canada tomorrow. the win over Germany did give team USA a spot in the quarterfinals.

the season finale of Barry was great last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

Our Cartoon President was fucking hilarious last night.

WWE Money in the Bank was pretty good last night, right up until the last 5 minutes of the show. when Brock Lesnar's music hit, i wanted to puke. having him win the Money in the Bank contract is fucking stupid. and i do understand this is Vince's reaction to the ratings being down, etc. but god forbid you put in the time to create new stars for the fans to be excited about.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Carpool Karaoke and Desus & Mero. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

the weather really cooled down today. it felt good to open up the house and let the breeze in again.

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

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i get the feeling arthritis is going to win today...

i could feel the storms coming last night. the ache in my bones eventually woke me up at 5:30 this morning. thankfully, i went back to sleep. i don't think 2 hours was going to cut it for today.

the New York Yankees lost yesterday to Tampa in 11 innings, 2-1. so much for first place. hopefully they will win the series this afternoon.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

i got the winner of The Preakness Stakes right yesterday. one of these days, i'll actually have enough money to bet on the races.

the season finale of Saturday Night Live was good last night.

ROH was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of Barry, Last Week Tonight and Our Cartoon President. i'll be watching WWE Money in the Bank for most of the evening.

i might watch some of the NBA and NHL playoffs today. kind of depends on how i'm feeling and how the weather is.

team USA is currently leading Germany at the hockey World Championships today, 2-1. i will hopefully get this done before that is over.

i guess we're going to try to wait until Memorial Day for a new stove. that's going to be interesting.

i hope your Saturday was good. hopefully, your Sunday will be even better.

i think i'm going to have to start putting alcohol in my morning coffee...

i think the next wave of storms is coming. good times.

until tomorrow kids...

the USA is now leading 3-1.

apparently, i will get plenty of sleep when i am dead...

i knew i had to take mom to the mechanic this morning, so there was no damn way i was going to be able to watch all the Sunday night shows and wrestling last night. so, i did as much as i could last night, got roughly 4 hours of sleep, got mom their on time, and then we went out to breakfast. i needed some damn coffee. after a good breakfast, we got back home. i watched the other shows and sure enough, right around 5 PM, the Highlander was done and ready to be picked up. the Rav4 we got was pretty good, although they certainly weren't built for people my size. so this blog is going to be all over the fucking place. have fun keeping up.

i didn't get to watch much of the World Cup today. i did watch most of the England vs. Tunisia game. how the fuck was Harry Kane that open that late? England won 2-1. here are the other scores from yesterday and today: Mexico stunned Germany 1-0. Brazil and Switzerland finished 1-1. Sweden defeated South Korea 1-0. Belgium had a huge second half and defeated Panama 3-0. tomorrow, the games are Colombia vs. Japan, Poland vs. Senegal and Russia vs. Egypt.

the New York Yankees lost to Tampa yesterday 3-1. well, at least Old Timers Day was good. they had to travel to Washington today to finish up the suspended and postponed games that got rained out earlier this season. they are losing right now in the suspended game 5-3, in the top of the 9th. after the games in Washington, they start a series at home tomorrow against Seattle.

WWE Money in the Bank was fucking long as hell last night. thankfully, the last hour or so of the show was really good. the rest of the show was more or less just an early edition of Monday Night Raw.

Westworld was really good last night. the season finale next week looks like it will be crazy.

Succession was good last night.

Last Week Tonight was hilarious as usual.

The Affair was excellent last night. i certainly wasn't expecting that ending.

I'm Dying Up Here was very good last night.

Drop the Mic was pretty good last night.

Total Bellas was good last night. it was the first time John Cena publicly revealed he had a vasectomy and will now reverse it to give Nikki a kid. as soon as i heard that i started to laugh. what bullshit.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and It Will Be Chaos. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after the World Cup games are over. since we got the Highlander back tonight and it's still hot as fuck here, i can't imagine i'm going anywhere tomorrow for mom. of course, the beauty of life is shit changes.

i hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. and i do hope the weather is at the very least comfortable wherever the fuck you are.

more afternoon thunderstorms...

i think i can tell now when it's going to be a really bad storm. the last two thunderstorms that have come through here, five minutes before they hit, my right shoulder started to hurt. so, chalk another one up for arthritis. thankfully i got the mail before the rain came. i could tell right away when i walked out of the house, we were going to get nailed. clouds as dark as night at 2 in the afternoon are never a good thing.

i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade this morning. here is the link:
Coastal Club - Coastal Club

the New York Yankees pissed away another lead yesterday and got swept by Oakland 4-3. that also means the lead in the division is gone as well. thank god they are off today and play tomorrow at home. of course, i just found out their top prospect in AAA needs Tommy John surgery. so much for him coming up this season and being their next third baseman. when it rains, it pours.

i picked every match on WWE Money in the Bank correctly last night. i even had the interference correct. i suppose that's not a good thing. i wasn't thrilled with the show until the main event. the match between AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, Shinsuke Nakamura, Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler and Baron Corbin was spectacular. and i'm really happy they gave Baron the briefcase. they can do so much with him now in that position. that is of course if the writers actually have a fucking plan for him. the one thing i have learned over the years with WWE is so much of it is done by the seat of their pants.

Silicon Valley was hilarious last night. the season finale looks like it will be amazing next week.

Veep was great last night. the season finale next week looks great as well.

Last Week Tonight was hilarious as always.

Twin Peaks: The Return was yet another delicious mindfuck.

I'm Dying Up Here was really good last night.

i saw the news about what happened in London last night. i always find it interesting when a white person goes on an attack, he's mentally unstable. when a person of color does it, they are a terrorist. i suppose once that difference gets removed from society, we will finally be a step closer to racial equality. although, i doubt i see it happening in my lifetime.

i did watch Germany beat Australia in the Confederations Cup today, 3-2. finally, i get to enjoy some alcohol tonight.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. at the very least, i hope your weekend was better than mine.

mom has two appointments i have to drive her to tomorrow, back doctor and eye doctor. i imagine i will be back on here sometime after all that is over.

just imagine my anger

first off, Happy Father's Day to all the good fathers out there. i never knew what that was like, so enjoy it you lucky fuckers.

we've had some storms overnight, so my arthritis has been fucking with me. so, during that pain this morning, i happened to notice that my desk in my room looked different. i knew the cleaning ladies were here yesterday, so that didn't seem too unusual. that was until i noticed one of my Batman items was missing. i had the night light that i hardly ever use sitting out on the corner and it was gone. i searched all over the room, thinking maybe it got knocked over or fell off or something. no such luck. so, i can only assume one of the cleaning ladies stole the damn thing. i can't imagine this weekend being any better for me. theft, my sister burning food and using every fucking dish in the house, thoughts of my father and our shitty relationship, my mother trying her best to get better while dealing with getting older, and here i am, in fucking pain every other second i take a breath. yet another day i will apologize to the 8 year old me. as usual, you were absolutely correct. a ladder, a rope and the tree in the backyard... the only freedom i was ever going to know.

the New York Yankees lost yet again yesterday to Oakland, 5-2. that's 5 damn losses in a row. they will try to avoid the sweep this afternoon.

the T.J. Miller comedy special on HBO last night, Meticulously Ridiculous, was fucking as absurd as i thought it was going to be. some parts had me scratching my head and other parts had me laughing my ass off.

ROH was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Silicon Valley, Veep, Last Week Tonight, Twin Peaks: The Return and I'm Dying Up Here.

i will be watching WWE Money in the Bank for most of the evening. at least on paper, it should be a very good event.

i have watched most of the Confederations Cup today. the match between Mexico and Portugal was very good. Chile vs. Cameroon is on right now.

i wrote 5 poems last night. given the mood this blog post has been in, you can imagine what the poems were like. i really liked a few of them. i need to write a few more before i think of my next round of submissions.

it looks like it's getting ready to storm here, so that's all for me kids. i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday will be even better.
