i want to believe the only way to go is up...
i didn't sleep well last night. i think i must have fallen asleep in my bed with my neck in some crazy ass position. when i got up at 5 to piss, my neck was killing me. so, i went and got some ice and tried to sleep in my massage chair. broken at best...
the Yankees won yesterday against Toronto, 4-2. they start a two game series at home tonight against the Mets. they really need to start winning some games.
VICE was very good last night.
Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan was very good last night.

and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw and Industry.
i did listen to episode 409 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
i really want to believe Manchester United will get something out of this game today against Liverpool. if not, i'm not sure i want to see how low rock bottom really is.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
i should be on here tomorrow in the afternoon.
i need to go get mentally prepared for something i don't want to see.
until tomorrow kids...

on a rainy Sunday morning...
i just sent out 5 poems to Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from Cristina, i will pass along the verdict.
the Yankees lost yesterday to Toronto, 5-2. they will try to avoid the sweep this afternoon. the lead in the division is now 7 games.
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Last Week Tonight, VICE, Flatbush Misdemeanors and Power Book III: Raising Kanan.
i did go to Kroger yesterday. i actually got there before what little rain we did get yesterday started.
i should be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays Liverpool.
i'm off to go watch the Yankees retire the number 21 in honor of one of my favorite Yankees of all time, Paul O'Neill.

before the rain comes...
i was up at 7:30 this morning. not that i wanted to be, but... i got the bird food out this morning. i had to put air in the front tire of the Highlander. it has felt like it was going to rain since i got that shit done this morning. i figure when i get ready to go to Kroger to get my mom's prescription, that is when it will start raining.
the Yankees lost last night to Toronto, 4-0. hopefully, they will stop this losing streak this afternoon.
Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.
nothing on the DVR tonight.
other than some baseball, i'll probably watch some soccer today.
i should be on here tomorrow in the morning, hopefully long before the Yankees retire Paul O'Neill's #21.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

always love waking up with a bad back...
so, right as i woke up, i knew my day was fucked. my back was screaming bloody fucking murder with every step to the bathroom. joy. the only reason i honestly have made it 46 years into this life is learning how to find the pleasure in the pain. i honestly know as soon as i lose that ability, i am fucked. so, i did get to ice my back down for hours later in the morning into the afternoon. after that, i had to take a prescription to Kroger for my mother and then get some things that weren't put on the grocery list. of course, Kroger didn't have the first item i was looking for, so i went to Meijer instead. i'll have to go back to Kroger this weekend to get my mother's prescription. her appointment yesterday with the foot doctor went well. now, i just need to figure out a good time to take her to get a haircut.
the Yankees had their asses handed to them last night by Toronto, losing 9-2. hopefully, they will find a way to win tonight.
NXT UK was very good yesterday. it will be coming to an end soon as the WWE revealed the plans yesterday of creating NXT Europe in 2023.
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
the New Orleans Saints play at the Packers tonight. as always, i hope the Saints win but i also hope no one gets injured.
i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow as the Yankees play in the afternoon.
i never thought i would see the day Casemiro would leave Real Madrid. and i certainly never thought he's be coming to Manchester United. HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
until tomorrow kids...

a big victory, a stunning loss and yet another fall...
so, i was going to start the blog off today one way, but considering my mother just fell again in her room, that plan is out the window. i'm not really sure how many fucking times i have to tell her to watch where she is going, have a clear path, etc. but, once a stubborn person, always a stubborn person. she's going to have some more nice bruises and i'm pretty sure her shower isn't going to feel real good. good times.
so, the Yankees won last night (finally) over Tampa Bay, 8-7, in 10 innings. the Yankees were down 4-0 at one point last night and fought their way back to 4-4. then, i figured as soon as Chapman heard he was going to be a closer again, he'd shit the bed. sure enough, he gave up 3 runs in the top of 10th. thankfully, Josh Donaldson hit a walk off grand slam in the bottom of the 10th to win the game. Yankees start a series tonight at home against Toronto.
AEW Dynamite last night was great.
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother and NJPW. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on Peacock.
so, as of right now, mom has an appointment this afternoon at the foot doctor. i'm not going to be surprised if she ends up cancelling it if she doesn't feel good after this latest fall.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i know i need to get some poetry work done so i can get some poems ready to submit this weekend most likely.
i need to go help mom out of the shower so that's all for me kids.
until tomorrow...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck war.
fuck the police.

stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands.
stay off the streets.

it was like the universe was listening...
so, i was standing in line at Kroger today, waiting to check out and this old lady came up behind me. she asked me if this was the only line open. i said yeah, no other lines open, just like always. and then, within a few minutes, 2 checkout lanes opened and i was like holy shit. the old lady had gone to get in line at the self checkout. i got behind this old man trying his best to get what was in his cart onto the conveyor belt, i thought he was going to have a heart attack. thankfully, he didn't. i ended up saving over $35 at Kroger today. between that, Rite Aid and the local grocery store, i got everything that was on the grocery list.
the Yankees actually scored last night, but still lost to Tampa Bay, 3-1. they have called up three kids from the minors today. hopefully, that will give them a spark. the lead in the division is now down to 9 games.
What We Do in the Shadows was fucking hilarious last night.
Hard Knocks was good last night.
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and Big Brother.
team USA plays Czech Republic tonight in the quarterfinals of the World Juniors. so far today, Finland and Sweden have advanced to the semifinals.
i should be on here tomorrow in the morning. mom has an appointment with her foot doctor in the afternoon. so, hopefully, i'll be able to get the blog done before i have to take her to that.
a big thank you to everyone that has checked out my latest published poems:
time for my bad back to get some ice in the massage chair.

up too damn early...
so, i was up at 6 this morning. i wanted to get up early and get my day going as i knew mom wanted to be up around 8 this morning. she is not a morning person at all and i barely am. thankfully, i think she was awake enough to have her online counseling session this morning. i shaved and showered and went to the bank today. after i made that deposit, i went to Big Lots. i got 5 packs of 2022 Topps Heritage for $30. i found some decent rookies in the packs and one short print. i'm still chasing a damn Julio Rodriguez rookie card.
the Yankees lost last night to Tampa Bay, 4-0. hopefully, the fucking offense will wake the fuck up tonight and score.
Monday Night Raw was really good last night.
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Deadliest Catch, What We Do in the Shadows and Hard Knocks.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
my back has been killing me for most of today. i just love the days when ice and stretching and walking don't loosen the fucker up at all.
until tomorrow kids...

fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck war.
fuck the police.

one of those days...
or maybe it is simply, i can't fucking stand Mondays. today has been one of those days where it seems like i'm just fucking stuck in first gear and don't have the ability to get going. add in my mother falling again and me screwing up my back trying to get to her and you can easily understand why i turn to alcohol on most days.
i think most of mom's falling is due to her vision being so bad she has absolutely no sense of depth perception. so, this once again will be the battle between being stubborn and asking for fucking help. as always, i'll be the one stuck in the middle, getting more frustrated by the minute. good times.
the Yankees lost to Boston last night, 3-0. it almost seems like the team is just going to coast for the rest of the season, see if they can still win the division and then flip the switch in the playoffs. great. they start a series at home tonight against Tampa Bay.
VICE was very good last night.
The Chi was really good last night.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan was fucking great last night.
and now some of this and that:
i did listen to episode 408 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
https://www.stitcher.com/show/sam-roberts-wrestling-podcast/episode/whos-returning-next-notsam-wrestling-408-205771428
i didn't get to bed this morning until 5 AM. i was up at 9 AM. nothing like sitting at the table at 4 AM going through the coupons after getting the dishes done and seeing your mother come out to the table, not really sure what she is doing. i keep telling her, and you wonder why i don't get to sleep much anymore.
she was supposed to have a counseling session online today but of course, that got cancelled. so now, she has to do one in the morning and i know tomorrow will be a fresh slice of hell as she is not a morning person.
thanks again to everyone that has checked out my latest published poems. i've had 9 published in the last 3 days. not bad...
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
until tomorrow kids...

here comes the rain, so i might as well do my laundry...
on top of the fact, i'm out of bread, so i will be hitting the local grocery store sometime this afternoon. it would have been nice if i would have remembered that yesterday when i was shopping. oh well.
i turned off the Manchester United game yesterday when they were losing 2-0. they eventually lost to Brentford, 4-0. even worse, they are now at the bottom of the league for the first time in 30 years. now, i know it has been just 2 games, etc. etc. they play Liverpool next, so i can just imagine how bad it is going to get before it even starts to get fucking better.
thankfully, the day got better from there...
team USA defeated Austria yesterday at the World Juniors, 7-0. they play Sweden tonight for first place in the group.
the Yankees won last night in Boston, 3-2. IKF hit his first HR of the year and drove in the winning run with a safety squeeze. hopefully, the Yankees will win the series tonight.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, VICE, The Chi, City on a Hill, Flatbush Misdemeanors, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Last Week Tonight and the season finale of Westworld.
i do plan on doing my laundry today. given that the Yankees don't play until tonight, i'll have all afternoon to get it done.

and here comes a busy day...
i swear, it feels like i just went to bed. of course, i have been up for almost 3 hours after my usual 4 hours of sleep.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.
and now some of this and that:
the Yankees lost last night to the Red Sox, 3-2, in 10 innings. yet another blown save for Holmes. they play again tonight.
and then sometime this afternoon, i need to go to Rite Aid to pick up my prescription and go to Kroger and get mom's prescription and some other things and then go to Meijer and get some other stuff. i did a run on sentence on purpose as i know that is exactly how my afternoon is going to feel today.
the New Orleans Saints play tonight at the Texans. hopefully, they will win and no one will get hurt.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

i just sent out 6 poems, 3 each to Pyrokinection and Terror House Magazine. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.
Friday, August 12, 2022
i guess i needed some sleep...
so, all the shopping i was going to get done today never happened. apparently, i needed some sleep. so, i guess i know what i will be doing tomorrow...
mom's appointment at the eye doctor went well. i think we have a better idea what has been playing a part in all her falls. i'm hoping the new glasses will help that. now, i didn't love the way they basically rushed her out of the place since we were the last appointment. they didn't even bother to give mom the chance to actually pick new frames if she wanted them. in the end, that probably saved her some money, but mom was not happy about it. i can understand. but, i also know now, never get the last appointment of the day.
Big Brother was good last night. Daniel did get evicted. Taylor is the new HOH.
the USA world juniors team defeated Switzerland last night, 7-1. they play Austria on Saturday afternoon.
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
the Yankees start a series tonight at the Red Sox. i'm hopeful that the Yankees will pull their heads out of their asses and start winning again. hopefully soon.
it was cool enough today that i was actually able to open the house up a bit and let some air move through. that probably actually helped me sleep more as well.
i am going to try to be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays.
and if i actually get my ass in gear tonight, there might be another blog post after i send some poems out.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
and here's hoping that Salman Rushdie doesn't die tonight.
