i was sound asleep in my bed, for roughly 90 minutes, and then i rolled over and my fucking back gave out on me. i felt the pain at exactly 5 AM. fuck me. i took a piss and then went and got some ice. yet another night in the massage chair i guess. i woke up at 8:15 this morning. amazingly, the ice pack was still a little cold. i put that on my knees, as i could tell already rain was on the way. joy.
the Yankees won last night in Baltimore, 7-6. Aaron Judge hit two massive home runs in the game. the Yankees lost Michael King to a broken elbow in the 8th inning last night. that will be an injury that could haunt this team this season. he was a major part of the success of the bullpen.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.
AEW Rampage was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight. i imagine i will watch some baseball, probably some soccer and god knows what else between doing my laundry tonight.
Manchester United ended their preseason trip in Australia by pissing away a 2 goal lead to Aston Villa. the game finished 2-2. i see ETH still has some work to do with the squad.
i will hopefully be on here in the morning tomorrow. i suppose it all depends how much my back is killing me after doing my laundry tonight. hopefully, not too much, as i will have my mother's laundry to do tomorrow afternoon.
big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
my poems "treated like a whore" and "more tragedy than your god knows how to handle" have been published at Cajun Mutt Press. you can read the poems by going here:
so, i remember first hearing this when i was a child and really into current events and whatnot. always around 5 PM on a Friday, you would get some shocking or holy shit news, but it would come too late for the nightly news to really talk about it and then it was the weekend and by Monday, no one gives a shit. so, the bad news would always get planted on this day. this all makes me laugh considering the news that hit today, Vince McMahon retiring from WWE. i never thought i would see this day in my lifetime. it really makes me wonder what other news is going to come out about his past. or, was this retirement forced by the board of directors. or, better yet, is this Vince trying to cut off the allegations because now everything is in a past tense. all in all, i'm hoping that the actual product gets better. if it doesn't, then i really could see the company being sold and pro wrestling entering a whole new world in a few years. should make for an interesting Smackdown tonight.
so, the Yankees got swept yesterday in Houston. they lost game 1, 3-2. they lost game 2, 7-5. as much as i don't want to put any stock into this, it would be nice if we could beat Houston more than just twice a fucking year. the Yankees start a series tonight in Baltimore. hopefully, they will win.
the season finale of The Old Man was excellent last night. i can't fucking wait for season 2.
NXT UK was very good last night.
Vice News Tonight had two great shows this week.
episode 2 of The Captain was very good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and AEW Rampage. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
i did go to Rite Aid today to get my prescription. i had to get some things for mom there as well.
the drive to mom's bank yesterday was pretty uneventful. i had to get money out of the ATM for her. after that, i went to the Rite Aid across the street from the bank. i got some baseball cards while i was there. 2 boxes for $11. i think i almost made what i spent on them from the cards in the boxes. a good number of hall of fame cards, but nothing crazy.
i think i will be on here in the morning tomorrow. i did get a good amount of sleep today. the ice on my back seems to be working. hopefully, i'll be able to sleep in my bed soon.
i hope everyone has an amazing weekend.
until tomorrow kids...

so, the unofficial start of the second half of the baseball season begins today. the Yankees play a doubleheader down in Houston. as much as i'd love to see them win both games, i'd settle for a split. after the second game, the Yankees start a series tomorrow night in Baltimore.
AEW Dynamite was great last night.
Big Brother was good last night.

i need to go out to mom's bank and deposit a check for her and get some cash out of the ATM. i'll probably do that in a bit.
i am only getting 3 1/2 hours of sleep anymore. but, i'm getting that in my massage chair with ice on my back, so it feels like it is better sleep for the most part. now, i wish i was one of these people that could sleep 8 hours like it was nothing. my brain is just too fucking active for that to happen i guess.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get my pills from Rite Aid in the afternoon.

i just sent 3 poems to Cajun Mutt Press for their upcoming Halloween issue. when i hear back from them i will pass along the verdict. for more info on the issue and how to submit, go here:
i got woke up this morning when the truck came around to pick up our recycling. that was at 7:54 this morning. i fell asleep in my chair around 5 this morning. so yeah, i guess i almost got 3 hours of sleep. joy.
the grocery store was a bit crazy today. they only had 2 checkout lanes open that had cashiers at them. if you wanted to scan all the shit yourself, all those lanes were open. given the number of elderly customers today at Kroger, it didn't take a fucking genius to know maybe we should have a few more checkout lanes open. to make matters worse, one of the lanes closed with a few people still in line. hot temps, short fuses, and melting frozen shit... what a recipe for disaster. the icing on the cake was after i bagged most of my own groceries and paid the $164 for everything, i went outside to put the items in the Highlander. within 30 seconds of putting the stuff in i heard a loud crashing sound. i started looking around and there looked like there was a head on collision in the intersection near the grocery store. thank god i would be going home in the opposite direction. what a shit show.
i did watch bits and pieces of the MLB All Star game last night. the American League won, 3-2. hell, the National League only had 1 hit after the first inning. Giancarlo Stanton of the Yankees won the MVP for the game. he is only the 3rd Yankee ever to win the award (Jeter and Rivera).
NXT was excellent last night.
What We Do in the Shadows was fucking hilarious last night.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night. the show will be back in August once Shark Week is over.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, AEW Dynamite and Big Brother.
i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow in the morning as the Yankees have a doubleheader tomorrow in Houston.
i need to get outside and water the tomato plants. i can't count on the rain actually hitting us tonight. it looks like from the radar everything is going to stay to the north. at least the stifling humidity should be gone after tonight.
that's all for me kids...

well, it didn't rain today. but, when it gets hot like this, there is a whole different level of problems or potential problems i have to deal with. and of course, one of those leaped to the forefront today.
so, i got mom to her doctor's appointment. it was at 12:30. sometime around 1:45, we finally went back to see the doctor. i was beyond pissed at this point. and of course, we waited longer back there as well. sometime around 2:30, we were leaving. mom gets her next injection in September. so, i took her to get her frozen Coke (i guess this is her reward) and we went back home. within 15 minutes of her being home, she went into her bedroom and fell. i'm guessing she was trying to set her frozen Coke down on her nightstand, lost her balance and fell down. she cut her face and her arm, just enough to bleed. i gave her a concussion test. thankfully, her eyes weren't glassy and she knew her name and what day it was. when it gets warm like this, her Meniere's Disease truly fucks with her. and i mean to the point where it doesn't take much at all for her to lose her balance. so yeah, this will be my summer. anytime she's out in the heat, i need to strap a damn leash on her and make sure she doesn't fall.
so, after all that, i went to Rite Aid to get my prescriptions. there was no charge for those. i then did part of the grocery shopping at the local grocery store. i got what i normally get on Wednesday and some chicken for dinner tonight. i don't feel like being over a hot stove this evening.
i was devastated last night learning that Desus & Mero were splitting up and the show would be no more. those motherfuckers have made me laugh harder than anyone over the last decade or so. they will be missed.
the USWNT defeated Canada last night, 1-0, to win the CONCACAF women's championship. this all means they have qualified for the next World Cup and the next Olympics.
i didn't watch much of the Home Run Derby last night. i would love to see Juan Soto in pinstripes one day, that's for sure.
The Captain last night was very good.
Don't Forget the Lyrics was really good last night.
Monday Night Raw was good last night.

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Deadliest Catch and What We Do in the Shadows.
Manchester United defeated Crystal Palace over in Australia this morning, 3-1. from what i saw on the highlights, i really like how they are playing now.
i might watch some of the MLB All-Star game tonight, mostly just to see the Yankees involved in the game.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
i had another night of shitty sleep once again. i'm guessing that is exactly what i have to look forward to tonight as well.
good times.

we had over 2.3 inches of rain yesterday. by the time i got done with the dishes last night, my back felt like a fucking elephant had decided to sleep on it. i ended up having to sleep in my massage chair last night. i got a whopping 3 hours of sleep. joy.
the Yankees whipped Boston yesterday, 13-2. they go into the All Star break with the most wins of any Yankees team ever, 64.
so the rain last night fucked with all the shows i was recording. that made for a frustrating night.
i did watch the best named rivalry game in soccer, Hell is Real, which is the name for the Columbus Crew vs. FC Cincinnati derby. Columbus won last night, 2-0.
i did watch a few other MLS games yesterday as well.
Big Brother was good last night. Pooch has to be a fucking idiot. who the fuck volunteers to go up on the block?
Westworld was fucking great last night.
The Chi was excellent last night.
Flatbush Misdemeanors was pretty funny last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw, Miz & Mrs, Don't Forget the Lyrics and The Captain.
i will probably watch some of the MLB Home Run Derby tonight. mostly to see if it runs long so then i would have to adjust what time i record The Captain, the new ESPN documentary about Derek Jeter.
i did listen to episode 404 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
so, i did send out 5 poems today to Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from Cristina, i will pass along the verdict.
so, mom finally decided that she wanted to update the main bathroom here in the house. i feel really comfortable with the company she is going with. and if it turns out the way i think it will, it should be an incredible upgrade to what we have.
the USWNT takes on Canada tonight in the finals of the CONCACAF women's championship. since i don't have Paramount+, i won't be able to watch the game tonight. i will follow it somehow on my phone though.
i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to her doctor's appointment.

the Yankees won last night over Boston, 14-1. it was nice to see them get back to normal again. hopefully, the boys will win again today.
Nikki Glaser: Good Clean Filth was fucking hilarious last night.

so, after i went to the bank today to deposit a check, i decided to go to Meijer. i was hoping to find some baseball cards. i ended up buying a Gypsy Queen box of cards, 1 pack of Diamond Kings and 4 packs of 2022 Topps Series 2. had a couple good cards in the Gypsy Queen box. found a great rookie in the Diamond Kings pack (Oneil Cruz) and found the rookie card i have been hunting for awhile in the Topps packs (Wander Franco). i also got a couple of binders to put some pages of cards in as some of my other binders are getting way too big now. all in all, i spent $75. i think there was somewhere around $60 worth of cards in what i opened today. i was hoping to find some Bowman cards but i didn't have any luck with that.
the Yankees left a small village on base last night and lost to Boston, 5-4, in 11 innings. i hope they win tonight but the way they are playing right now, i won't be holding my breath.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.
AEW Rampage was excellent last night.

i didn't sleep well last night, but i did get a shave and shower done, so there's that. my arthritis has been acting up today. plenty of rain in the area, just enough to drive me nuts.
i should be on here tomorrow before the Yankees game starts in the afternoon.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

it was one of those nights where i could never get comfortable in bed. between the phantom pains in my left leg from a blood clot years ago to a pinched nerve in my neck that i thought was getting better... i couldn't find a spot to sleep for anything. sometime around 5 AM, exhaustion took over my body. of course, i saw the clock at 6 and then 7 and then at 9:30, i said fuck it. and then i somehow managed to strain my Achilles tendon while standing up. as i told my mother, it is the official sign i am getting old, falling apart and the dirt will be coming soon. she laughed as she knows i won't be dead anytime soon. of course, the same thing goes for her as well.
the Yankees lost last night to the Reds, 7-6, in 10 innings. they start a series tonight at home against the Red Sox. hopefully they will clean up the mistakes and actually play good baseball again before the All Star break.
the USWNT defeated Costa Rica last night, 3-0. they will play Canada in the finals of the CONCACAF women's championship on Monday.
Big Brother was interesting last night. Paloma left the game because of her anxiety getting the best of her. i want to believe that, but the cynical fuck in me thinks this is her cover for the racist shit she started against Taylor. so, no one got "evicted" last night. Jasmine is the new HOH.
The Old Man was fucking great last night. the season finale is next week.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and AEW Rampage. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
Manchester United won 4-1 today in Australia. and better yet, Christian Eriksen is finally a red.
the New York Rangers signed their first draft pick already. i really like this kid.
i should be on here tomorrow after i go to the bank and probably do some other Saturday morning shopping.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
thanks to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
my poems "a passion for life", "pure fucking misery", "hole in the world town", "this is my life now" and "like some math equation" have been published at Synchronized Chaos. you can read the poems by going here:
so, my back has been killing me since i woke up this morning. that always makes for a fun fucking day.
as you might imagine, i haven't done much today. check emails and basically ice my back down. rinse and fucking repeat. joy.
the Yankees won last night over the Reds, 7-6, in 10 innings. hopefully, the Yankees win the series tonight.
Big Brother was good last night. my guess is Taylor will be evicted tonight. i'm hoping i'm wrong and there are some hijinks in store. ok, i just checked my Big Brother twitter sources and i have no fucking clue what is going to happen tonight. that should be fun to watch.
AEW was fantastic last night. i am so happy for Keith Lee and Swerve.

so, i'm starting to believe that maybe my mother's blood sugar is dropping at odd times now. the only other or i can think of is a fucking tumor of some kind and i don't want to have to cross that fucking bridge until i must. so, i tried to do the grocery shopping with all of this on my mind today. thankfully, i was able to get everything on the list and a few extras and not get charged an arm and a leg. i also got some baseball cards today. two boxes at Rite Aid for $11. there were plenty of hall of famers in both boxes, so i'm guessing the cards were worth around $20, so that made me happy.
the Yankees pissed away a 3 run lead last night and lost to the Reds, 4-3. what made it worse was it was the Yankees bullpen that pissed this away. 3 outs from a victory... hopefully, the Yankees will win tonight.
NXT was very good last night.
the season finale of Holey Moley was fucking crazy last night.

so, NHL free agency started today. i was pretty interested to see what the New York Rangers were going to do. well, i was a little shocked that they signed Vincent Trocheck. he does fill the need for a second line center. i just hate they had to give him 7 years to get him to sign with the Rangers. they traded Nemeth to Arizona and signed two backup goalies. i can't wait to see what kind of magic Chris Drury works to get their own free agents under the cap now. all in all, i do think Trocheck will help in the short term. now, if he's still playing great 7 years from now at 36 years old, i'll be fucking thrilled.
i think mom is making some tuna for tonight. i didn't want to fire up the oven in the heat again, so i got a veggie tray that i thought we could have for dinner tonight. mom wanted to make some tuna to go along with it and i figure that will be a nice, light dinner for sure.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
