i was hoping to feel much better this morning. sadly, i still have a bit of a cough that is draining the life out of me. so much for doing my laundry and getting the poems out before noon today. if i have them done by the time Saturday Night Live comes on tonight, i'll be mildly surprised. if that does happen, you might actually get two blogs out of me today.
the New York Yankees pitching fucking sucked last night. they lost to Oakland 10-5. hopefully they will do better this afternoon.
here are your highlights from Game 1 between Washington and Tampa Bay last night:
NJPW was excellent last night.
Major League Wrestling was pretty good last night.
VICE was really good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty funny last night.
Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live, ROH, Patrick Melrose and Dunkirk.
i will probably watch some of Game 1 between Winnipeg and Las Vegas tonight as well.
i just found out my best friend has a growing mass in her left breast. this is going to be a much tougher weekend than i thought.
i need to get my laundry started and start getting these poems out.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i was actually able to sleep in my own bed last night and not cough myself awake every couple minutes. i got close to 6 hours of sleep. i've only had a few coughing fits today, so i want to believe the worst is over. so that means i'm going to be busy as fuck this weekend catching up on everything; mostly poems and laundry.
the grocery store was really picked over by the time mom and i got there. hell, i had to go to the smaller grocery store in town to get my bread. and they are still moving shit all around at the main grocery store we go to. i had the whole fucking store memorized and now it's changed. i figure once i get that down, they'll change it again. the fuckers.
the New York Yankees lost last night to Boston, 5-4. they were down 4-0 and came back to tie the game. of course, Aaron Boone made the mistake of allowing Betances to go out for his second inning of work and he gave up the winning run. oh well. the Yankees did win the series against Boston and are still tied for first place in the division. they start a series at home tonight against Oakland.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
the season finale of The Big Bang Theory was excellent last night.
the season finale of Young Sheldon was very good last night.
Gotham was fucking amazing last night. the ending certainly set up what should be a very entertaining season finale next week.
the season finale of Atlanta was great last night.
here are your highlights from Game 7 last night between Nashville and Winnipeg:
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, Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas and Kevin Smith: Silent But Deadly.
i'll probably watch some of the NHL playoffs tonight. Game 1 between Tampa and Washington should be a good one.
the pollen count here lately has been off the fucking charts. that certainly isn't helping me fight this fucking cold. i think that's why it has taken me so long. at least that's the theory i'm going with.
my sister is coming down tomorrow to spend most of the weekend here for Mother's Day. i guess i should get the rest of what i'm giving mom ready.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. i'll probably be on here early tomorrow. i will probably spend a good portion of tonight and early tomorrow sending out poems.
that's all for me kids.

i wasn't expecting to take a nap this afternoon, but thanks to Manchester United, i got a good one in. their listless 0-0 draw against West Ham was truly boring. other than a few moments here and there, i'm happy i slept through most of it.
that 1 point for the draw gives Manchester United second place in the Premier League. the clean sheet also means that David De Gea has won the Golden Glove this season.
the New York Yankees won again last night, 9-6 over Boston. to think this team started the season 9-9 and is now 26-10 is fucking amazing. they haven't had a stretch like this since 1953. CC is on the hill tonight as the first place Yankees go for the sweep of Boston.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:
NXT was pretty good last night.
Being Serena was excellent last night. it certainly brought back some memories of my time in the hospital for blood clots and pulmonary embolisms. good times.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News tonight, the season finale of The Big Bang Theory, the season finale of Young Sheldon, Gotham and the season finale of Atlanta.
i will probably watch some of Game 7 tonight between Winnipeg and Nashville.
mom's allergies were so bad today she had to cancel her physical therapy appointment. that allowed me to get a little extra sleep today. i think i got about 6 hours total. i do feel much better. i still have a little bit of a cough now and then. but, i'm not coughing my head off or bringing up much anymore. so, hopefully i will be good to go by the weekend.
the gift i ordered for Mother's Day arrived today. i was starting to worry it wasn't going to be here before the weekend.
that's all for me kids.
i'll be on here sometime after a trip to the grocery store tomorrow.

i think i have coughed more in the last 24 hours than i have in most of my 42 years on this fucking planet. i'm hoping that's rock bottom and the only way to go from here is up. i went and got the pills my doctor said i could use and wouldn't affect my liver at all. i had to go get them or my mother was going to sneak out and get them from me. so, that's why this blog started 30 minutes later than i wanted to today. the asshole son had to tell his mother it's okay to allow the asshole to be an adult. good times.
i might have got a little over 4 hours of sleep last night. considering that's about what i get when i'm healthy, that's a good sign. i would love if i could actually sleep in a bed again before the weekend rolls around.
and i'm so fucking behind on getting the poems out there... if i'm better by the weekend, i know what i'll be doing.
the New York Yankees won last night, 3-2 over Boston. the Yankees are now tied for first place in the division. that also means they are tied for the best record in baseball. the last time the Yankees won 16 out of 17 games was in 1953. they play again tonight.
i was not happy with one of the people that got sent home last night on The Voice. Christiana absolutely should have been saved last night.
Smackdown was really good last night. imagine that, a wrestling show that actually shows mostly wrestling. concept.
205 Live was excellent last night.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night.
The Jim Jefferies Show was hilarious last night.
The Chris Gethard Show was fucking bizarre last night. it also reminded me why i miss smoking weed so much.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Being Serena. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i'll probably watch some of the NBA playoff game between Boston and Philadelphia tonight as well.
i'll probably be on here tomorrow after mom's physical therapy session and after Manchester United plays.
i took the pills i got today right before starting to write this. they are supposed to make me drowsy. once again, i'm probably the exception to the fucking rule.
that's all for me kids.

well, after a mere 3 hours of sleep last night, i decided i had to go to the doctor. thankfully, i was able to get an appointment this morning. i thought it was going to be with one of the nurse practitioners in his practice. little did i know, it was with him. we talked about my liver some. he said while my levels were elevated, they weren't high enough to be of much concern. so guess who is going back to drinking? he offered me either pills or shots for my cold. i said since they were taking blood from me today anyway, might as well give me the shots. so his assistant, the one who looks like a crush i had in my early teens, gave me two shots; an antibiotic and a steroid. the doctor said that should do the trick. hopefully, he is right.
after i got home, i had to take mom to go vote. after that, we went to the post office. amazingly, the mail got delivered here before fucking noon.
i figure the drugs they put me are going to make me tired soon. or at least i hope.
The Voice was really good last night. i have no clue which two are going to be eliminated tonight.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.
here are your highlights from the NHL and NBA playoffs last night:

i'll probably watch a little of the NBA playoffs tonight as well.
i still have the trash to pick up here and next door.
i do feel a little better than i have. i'm still coughing a bit, but not nearly as bad as it was this morning.
i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow.
that's all for me kids.

there used to be a time in my life where a cough would be gone in a few days. i have reached that age now that all the tricks that worked in my youth don't anymore. i had to sleep in my chair last night. i think at best i slept a hour or so at a time. i'm trying to avoid the shit i know that works for me because of my liver. so, if i have another disjointed night of sleep, i'll be calling the doctor tomorrow. i really could use a tall drink of something strong right now.
WWE Backlash was slightly better than awful last night. the show started off good with a great match between The Miz and Seth Rollins. it was downhill after that. and that shouldn't be the case with wrestlers like AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe, etc. still to come. the fact that you could see people walking out of the arena during the main event between Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns should be a wake up call to Vince. of course, it won't be.
the New York Yankees are starting to remind me of those great Yankees team from the late 90's. they got an amazing spot start from Domingo German yesterday (6 no hit innings). the bullpen shit the bed and the Yankees were losing 4-0. that was about the time the storms hit here and knocked out the satellite feed. the Yankees came right back and scored 3 in the bottom of the 8th to make it 4-3. the Yankees then tied it in the 9th and won the game on a 3 run walk off home run from Gleyber Torres. they won the game 7-4. that's a sweep of the Indians and they finished this daunting 18 games in 18 days with a 16-2 record. they start a series tomorrow night against the Red Sox. they are 1 game behind Boston in the AL East.
here are your highlights from the NHL and NBA playoffs from yesterday:
Billions was excellent last night. maybe the best episode they have ever done.
I'm Dying Up Here was pretty funny last night.
Westworld was amazing last night.
Silicon Valley was pretty good last night.
Barry was excellent last night. the season finale next week should be interesting.
Last Week Tonight was fucking brilliant as usual.
Drop the Mic was pretty funny last night.

well, last night the cough turned into congestion. lovely. i'm doing my best to try to stay away from mom, as the last thing i want to do is get her sick. i got some cough syrup and cough drops yesterday at the store. i get the feeling i'll be making an appointment with the doctor in a few days. joy.
the New York Yankees took advantage of some Cleveland errors yesterday to win 5-2. that's their 14th win in their last 15 games. they haven't done that since 1998. the Yankees will go for the sweep this afternoon.
ROH was really good last night.
Saturday Night Live was fucking great last night.

i did watch the Kentucky Derby yesterday. the track looked horrible, so i tried to play it safe with the 3 horses i picked. i did pick the favorite, which ended up winning the race. Justify looks like a horse that could win the Triple Crown. my other picks finished 9th and dead last. joy.
i do plan on watching El Clasico today. i try to never miss a match between Real Madrid vs. Barcelona.
that's all for me today kids. i hope your Saturday was great. hopefully, your Sunday will be even better.

i woke myself up coughing this morning. that's a fun feeling. i'm not bringing anything up with the coughs, so that's a good sign i suppose. i'll have to see if we have some cough syrup or maybe i'll just use whiskey. who knows.
the New York Yankees were cruising along last night, up 5-0 over Cleveland. they took CC out of the game, and the bullpen shit the bed. suddenly 5-0 became 5-5. the Yankees took the lead in the bottom of the 8th, 6-5. of course, their closer pissed that lead away. the Yankees won in the bottom of the 9th with a walk off single from Miguel Andujar. Gleyber Torres hit his first major league home run in the game. it's nice to see the kids doing so well. the Yankees won 7-6. they are 13-1 in their last 14 games. they will look to continue that streak this afternoon against Cleveland.
NJPW was excellent last night. i could watch Zack Sabre Jr. wrestle until i died and never get bored.
Major League Wrestling was good last night.
VICE was very good last night.
Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas was great last night.

i was in a good mood today. i was able to get a little sleep last night. we were able to get everything at the grocery store and get home in time for the Manchester United game. hell, even the mail came before it started raining. too bad Manchester United decided to take a giant shit all over my good mood.
Manchester United was pathetic today, and that's being fucking kind. they were absolutely awful in the final third, not even getting a shot on goal until the second half. Brighton was playing with all the urgency in the world, seeing if they won they will avoid relegation. sure enough, once Brighton scored, they parked the fucking bus and United's listlessness cost them dearly. a 1-0 loss is not the end of the world for United. but, i certainly didn't like how the players were playing, especially since they do have a fucking FA Cup final to play in 15 days.
i just love starting the weekend all kinds of pissed off.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
The Big Bang Theory was pretty good last night. the season finale next week should be excellent.
Young Sheldon was good last night. the season finale next looks like it should be good.
Life in Pieces was very funny last night.
Gotham was fucking great last night.
Atlanta last night was probably the most accurate portrayal of middle school i have ever seen on television. easily, the best show going. the season finale next week should be great.

we had a line of storms move through right before i had to take mom to her doctor's appointment. there's supposed to be more coming through tonight. with how i feel at this moment, i would say that is pretty accurate.
mom's appointment went well today. the doctor she saw more or less told her, given the MRI on her back, there's no way she can work. her former employer and the insurance company basically are saying she can. so mom is fucking stressed since she feels like someone is accusing her of cheating the system. fun times.
we went out to lunch after that appointment. i took a new notebook with me today. i ended up writing 9 poems in the waiting room. that's 30 poems for May so far. i typed those up when we got home. i really like a few of them.
the New York Yankees last night got a marvelous pitching performance from Severino and 4 RBI from Stanton to defeat Houston 4-0. they were playing the finale today in the afternoon. i got home in time to watch the Yankees piss away a 3-0 lead. Houston was up 5-3 in the 9th, but the Yankees staged another comeback and won the game 6-5. this was an incredible road trip for the Yankees. they went 6-1 on the trip. they play again tomorrow night at home against Cleveland.
NXT was pretty good last night.
Being Serena was very interesting last night.

the fuckers in this cul-de-sac i live in are fucking crazy about mowing their grass. if one house does it, then all the houses have to do it. it's fucking insane. it's like it doesn't matter that the grass hasn't grown, it's supposed to rain tomorrow. so get out there at noon and get that grass cut. these are the days i miss living on the farm, where a fucking lawnmower wouldn't wake me up before 9 in the morning.
i did a little poetry work today. i think i know where my next round of submissions are going to. i believe i'll be sending out 38 poems sometime early next week.
the New York Yankees couldn't do shit last night, that was up until the 9th inning. once Houston took Justin Verlander out of the game, the Yankees offense woke the fuck up. Gary Sanchez hit a massive 3 run homer and the Yankees won 4-0. the Yankees bullpen was spectacular yesterday as they got 24 outs in the game. the Yankees starter left after the first inning with a tight elbow. i'm hoping it's just a fucking minor strain and nothing more. the Yankees play again tonight at Houston.
Smackdown was pretty good last night.
205 Live was really good last as well.
The Voice was good last night. i didn't agree with either of the two that were up for elimination last night. oh well.

i think i spent most of today trying to figure out the fucking song trapped in my head all morning. thankfully, i did. you'll see it as the first song in the music section today.
i'll be on here in the afternoon tomorrow after mom's appointment. i figure we're probably going to lunch after the appointment. i think the appointment is about her social security disability. so, we might go out drinking as well, who knows. i'll be on here after all that is over.

i have been up since 6:35 this morning. that probably means i'm going to have a spectacular burnout tonight. joy.
i realized today i wrote 66 damn poems in April. and my first poem wasn't written until April 6th. i took my little notebook along with me this morning for mom's physical therapy session. i wrote 17 poems while there. i wrote one in my head on the way back home. and when i got home, i noticed there was only 3 damn blank pages left to the notebook. so i wrote 3 more at home for a grand total of 21 for today. that means i have written 87 fucking poems in under a month. i can't wait to see how many actually get published.
the weather here today has been great. 80 and not that humid. i actually got outside and filled the bird feeders. i figured i better get some sun while i can.
mom wanted to eat breakfast at First Watch after her physical therapy. it was a little hipster like, but the food was really good. now, it was way more expensive than it should be, but that's the fucking price of anything fresh anymore.
the New York Yankees lost last night at Houston, 2-1. that snapped their winning streak. i'm not expecting them to do well in this series. Houston has the best pitching staff in the majors. and good pitching usually beats good hitting. they play again tonight.
The Voice was really fucking good last night. i have no damn clue who is going home tonight.
