3 down, 13 to go...

 the New York Rangers won last night at home, 5-2, to force a Game 7 tomorrow night at New Jersey. i'm hoping what they found last night carries over to Monday night.

here are your two videos for the last day of National Poetry Month:

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

the New York Yankees lost last night at Texas, 2-0. hopefully, they will avoid the sweep today.

i did watch some of the MLS last night.

i finally got to see Moonage Daydream last night. we started watching it and the rain knocked out the satellite after 30 minutes. thankfully, i remembered that it was on demand, so we watched it from there. it was absolutely amazing. if you haven't seen it already, i urge you to do so.

the NFL Draft concluded yesterday. i am pretty happy with what the New Orleans Saints did.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Succession, Barry, Somebody Somewhere, Last Week Tonight, Power Book II: Ghost and Waco: The Aftermath.

the New York Knicks are playing Game 1 of their series against Miami today at home. they are winning 55-50 at halftime.

i do plan on watching some of Game 7 between Golden State and Sacramento this afternoon.

there are two Game 7's in the NHL playoffs today. Florida at Boston and Seattle at Colorado. if i get really lucky and the 4 guys i picked to score today do so, i will win over $100. 

i need to go to Rite Aid and pick up some pills.

hard to believe we are at the end of April already.

Manchester United defeated Aston Villa today, 1-0. i woke up just in time to see Bruno score for United. 

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

until tomorrow kids...

welcome to spring...

 at least it fucking warmed up some today. and there was plenty of sunshine. 

i took mom to her new place where she is doing physical therapy. it has a pretty laid back vibe to it, which i think she likes. she's going to be going twice a week. the waiting room was decent. i wrote 3 poems while she had her session. i think all 3 are pretty good. after we got back home, i had to go to Kroger to get her prescriptions. 

the New York Rangers won last night at home against Nashville, 7-0. holy shit, that was a fun one to watch.

i did watch El Clasico yesterday. that game never disappoints.

Manchester United played poorly yesterday. thankfully, Fulham lost their minds after a hour of play and had 3 red cards issued in a just a couple of minutes. amazingly, all 3 of them were the right calls. United advanced to the semi-finals of the FA Cup, winning 3-1. they will play Brighton in the semi-finals.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

the season finale of Your Honor was excellent last night.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

Power Book II: Ghost was fucking crazy. this should be another entertaining season.

enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Monday Night Raw and Perry Mason.

the New York Knicks play tonight at home against Minnesota.

i did really well gambling yesterday. i've been getting really lucky here lately with my hockey bets and most of my NBA bets.

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

i did listen to episode 439 of Notsam Wrestling today. you can listen to that by going here:

happiness i guess...

 so, for the most part, i believe my first go at cooking Thanksgiving went well. it was the first good meal mom has had in over 2 weeks. i made sure she would have plenty and still be under her sodium levels. that is never easy to do, but i guess i am just used to it by now. she was really happy and told others about it. that pissed some people off, which made me really happy. we watched some football and the World Cup yesterday. i turned the Dayton Flyers game off yesterday, as it wasn't good for either of our stress levels. i was hoping to have this blog done by now, but we got some rain overnight. and that always means i didn't sleep worth a shit. joy.

all 3 NFL games yesterday were pretty good. the Bills beat the Lions, 28-25. the Cowboys beat the Giants, 28-20. and the Vikings beat the Patriots, 33-26.

at the World Cup yesterday, Portugal defeated Ghana, 3-2. CR7 became the first male to score in 5 different World Cups. Brazil defeated Serbia yesterday, 2-0. this morning, Iran defeated Wales, 2-0. Senegal defeated Qatar 3-1. Ecuador is currently playing Netherlands. and in the final game today, England plays the USMNT. i really hope the USA men can pull off the upset today. 

the Dayton Flyers lost to NC State yesterday, 76-64. they play BYU today, hoping to not finish in last place for the tournament. the last time Dayton went 0-3 in one of these tournaments, that team finished the season with just 4 wins.

we also watched the Ole Miss vs. Mississippi State game last night as well.

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 am not a big Black Friday shopper, never have been. i do have to go to Kroger today to get some stuff, so i'm sure that will be a giant clusterfuck.

the New York Knicks play tonight at home against Portland.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning before Ohio State plays that school up north.

i hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. i hope if you are out shopping today, you find the deals you want or get a special gift for someone at a good price.

mostly good news...

 so, mom's appointment at the heart doctor went well yesterday. her blood pressure was really good. i was pleased with the doctor, since he took it while she was sitting down as well as standing up. she doesn't have to go back to see him for 9 months. 

after the appointment and mom's trip to McDonald's for her frozen coke, we went home. i turned on the Yankees game, hoping for the best. when the Yankees went up 3-1, i was really hoping they would win. of course, Aaron Boone's insistence on using the wrong pitchers at the wrong time made damn sure they wouldn't hold the lead. right after they scored the 3 runs to take the lead, they gave up 3 runs in the bottom of the inning and lost, 4-3. i know one thing for sure, i don't want to see the Mariners in the playoffs. the Yankees are off tonight and start a series tomorrow in Boston.

AEW Dynamite was excellent last night.

Big Brother was good last night. Daniel will be evicted tonight.

the MLS All Star game was good last night. the MLS defeated Liga MX 2-1.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, NJPW and the finale of The Captain. i'll watch NXT UK sometime this afternoon on Peacock.

team USA plays Switzerland tonight at the World Juniors. that should be a good game.

i have to take mom to the eye doctor today. our old eye doctor retired, so i'll be interested to see who the new guy is.

i need to go to Rite Aid to get my prescription. i'll do that before i take her to the eye doctor.

i might send the poems out today. if i do, that will happen when i get back home late this afternoon.

i'm not really sure when i will be on here tomorrow.

at least it feels like the humidity has finally broke here.

until tomorrow kids...

arthritis is winning the war...

 for the last twelve hours or so, there has been rain in the area. my arthritis has been grinding me to a fucking halt. i can't sleep, i don't feel like eating, and i can barely get my imagination to have some fun. good times.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. thank god, it will hopefully be the last show without fans in attendance.

i did watch some of the Home Run Derby last night. i can see why no one likes pitching in Colorado.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NXT and the series finale of Mr. Inbetween.

i might watch some of the MLB All-Star game tonight.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

i might have some poems to type up tonight. i had a dream that has poem written all over it. i'm just searching for the right ending.

and eventually, sunshine...

 the rain that started overnight and was still going this morning, was kicking my ass. i don't sleep well anymore when it is raining. as i tell my mom, we might need to move to the land of bent spoons. she is clueless that that is a heroin reference. thankfully, the rain eventually ended and we got a little sun today.

i went to the bank to deposit my check. of course, the lobby was closed for some fucking reason. so, there's 20 minutes of my life in the drive thru lane i will never get back. after that, i went to Big Lots to see if i could find some better storage for my cards. i did find that and 2 packs of 2019 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions. there was a couple good cards in the two packs i got. i went to Dollar Tree next door to see what they had. i found a Batman and Joker figurines that i didn't have. that was only $2. and then i had to go pick up mom's pills at Kroger.

so, the Manchester United game against Liverpool got postponed yesterday. i have no clue when or even if the game will be rescheduled. sadly, i doubt any of the protests will force the Glazers to sell the team. this is when i wish someone with an ungodly amount of fuck you money made them an offer they couldn't refuse for the team. but, that isn't going to happen.

the Yankees defeated the Tigers yesterday, 2-0, to complete the sweep. they are off tonight and start a series against the Astros tomorrow.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

The Nevers was pretty good last night.

Mare of Easttown was fucking great last night.

City on a Hill was excellent last night.

Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Washington. hopefully, they play the kids tonight. i'm not expecting the Rangers to win again this season, so i think it's more important to get the kids ready for next season.

i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

so, i feel like i got something done today...

 as i was falling asleep last night, i realized i forgot to call in my medications to the pharmacy. so, first thing i did this morning after i took my blood sugar (which always seems to be lower a morning after i drink any whiskey over 100 proof), i called in my medications. and for shits and giggles, i got on the Rite Aid website to see if i could schedule getting a vaccine shot. and holy shit, they actually had appointments available in town next week. so, i made mine and told mom to go make hers. so, we both get our first shot next Tuesday evening. 

The Voice was good last night. it was the last night of the blind auditions. now, the battle rounds start.

the series finale of Beartown was excellent last night.

Monday Night Raw was a little up and down for me last night. at least the up parts were really, really good.

the New York Rangers defeated Buffalo last night, 5-3.

the Yankees lost to the Phillies last night, 4-0. today, they are playing the Tigers. it's currently 5-5 in the bottom of the 9th.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Young Rock, Kenan, Dark Side of the Ring: Confidential and Mayans M.C.

mom scared the shit out of me last night. it was around 2 in the morning and she called for me while in bed and asked me to go get the stuff to check her blood pressure. it was high, all 3 times we took it. she took some Tylenol and then went to sleep. i'm hoping they get her on the pills she needs to be on to get her blood pressure down soon. the way she describes the way her heart feels, i'm not liking what it coming down the road without some new pills soon. 

i have to take her to an appointment tomorrow at 8 in the morning. that should be a fresh slice of hell, since neither of us are morning people. but, i hope that will be the last one she needs to see to get on the new medications.

the Yankees and Tigers finished at 5-5.

i need to go pick up the trash here and next door, so that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

made it to Friday, snow on the way...

 the "experts" are saying we are supposed to get anywhere from 4 to 8 inches of snow this weekend. that would be way more than we have had for all of winter so far. i asked my mother if she needed anything today as i was going to get it today rather than try this weekend. she said no, so i guess it is time to get ready to see if these motherfuckers are actually going to be correct. 

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

the season finale of Total Bellas was good last night.

NXT UK was very good last night.

The Unicorn was hilarious last night.

Cari & Jemele Won't Stick to Sports was very good last night.

the New York Rangers won in OT last night over Buffalo, 3-2. Alexis scored his first NHL goal for the game winner last night. i'm really hoping that opens the flood gates for the kid.

i put my football cards into a better order last night. speaking of cards, i got lucky today and was able to order a 2020 Donruss Optic blaster box on the Panini website. it is becoming increasingly difficult around here to find really anything other than junk wax these days.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Real Time with Bill Maher and Panting with John. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i will hopefully be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays.

if not before then, it will be after the Dayton Flyers game tomorrow.

i think the snow is supposed to start tomorrow night and into Sunday morning. if that does happen, i'll try to get some pictures of the snow.

i suppose i should try to put some bird food out before the snow really gets going.

that's all for me kids. today was one of those days where the bad back decided to only play along after a nice long session of ice in my massage chair.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

testing my patience...

i like to be alone when i shop, especially given the times we are living in. and while i am a pretty patient person, i have my limits. at the grocery store today, this elderly woman was in her own fucking world. no mask on, searching for some kind of bacon. she moved away and i went in to get some breakfast sausage that i had been waiting 3 minutes to get. before i could even open the door to get the sausage, she got back in front of me to look yet again. i should have started coughing at that point. the store was out of a few things. i'm sure it was because the elderly had ransacked the damn place this morning. all in all, between the 3 stores i went to, i got most of what was on the list. i know i have pills to pick up later this week, so i'm going to try to find the other stuff then. i kept everything under $150, which i was pretty happy about.

The Voice was good last night. everyone that made the final 5 is worthy of being in the finals.

Deadliest Catch was pretty good last night.

Dark Side of the Ring was excellent last night. the show was about my favorite tag team of all time, The Road Warriors. next week is the season finale.

WWE Backstage was really good last night.

once it warmed up today, it was pretty nice out. i was able to turn the furnace off this afternoon and open up the house some. of course, it's supposed to fucking rain tonight.

i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. i want to get some writing done at some point tonight or in the morning.

i finally have discovered the band Jinjer. i know i'm late to the party, but holy shit am i in love... so, expect to see plenty of their music in the blog for the next few weeks or so.

that's all for me kids.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands...

sometimes, pain is i all i have...

it's one of those days where my back has been tight and nothing has worked. but, there's shit to do and i'm a stubborn old fuck anymore.

i did send out 16 poems today. 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash and Synchronized Chaos; 6 to Record Magazine. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

the transfer window closed today. i was hoping Manchester United was going to do more than just finish the sell off of Lukaku to Inter Milan. silly me.

the New York Yankees whipped Baltimore last night, 14-2. they start a series tonight in Toronto.

NXT was a little light on the wrestling last night, with most of the episode setting up Takeover: Toronto this Saturday.

Big Brother was good last night. i'm pretty sure Jack will be evicted tonight. the episode won't air here until the middle of the night because of preseason football. i figure i'll follow online at some point.

Snowfall was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

apparently, i used all my sleep up in a different life...

i got to bed at a decent hour last night. of course, it was raining just hard enough that i woke up every 35 minutes or so. joy. around 6:30, i decided to fuck it and just get up. i knew my sister was leaving early, so i figured i would see her off. she was going down south for a charity walk with her friends. i made some coffee, had breakfast, checked emails and wanted to write this blog then. my back was killing me, so i decided to go ice my back down in the massage chair. i finally got almost 80 minutes of painless sleep there. as i told my sister last night, the pain is getting to the point where i'm going to have to start using weed or heroin or something to ease it. good times.

the New York Yankees won again last night over Houston, 4-1. that's 7 wins in a row. hopefully, they can keep it going tonight.

i did watch a good portion of the first round of the NHL Draft last night. the New York Rangers got exactly who i was hoping for. i'll pay attention a little bit to the rest of the draft today, mostly because i think the Rangers might be trading a few players to get a little more salary cap space for a certain Russian winger that played in Columbus last season.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

NJPW was really good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty funny last night.

Los Espookys was fucking hilarious last night.

i did watch a little of the Gold Cup last night. here are your scores:
El Salvador vs. Jamaica finished 0-0 and Curacao upset Honduras last night, 1-0.

tonight, Guyana takes on Panama and the USA will be looking for some fucking revenge against Trinidad & Tobago. i will be watching that tonight.

as for the Women's World Cup, Germany is currently leading Nigeria 2-0 at halftime. i do plan on watching some of Norway vs. Australia later this afternoon.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

i will hopefully have a couple victory drinks tonight and hoping that will ease the pain from the storms we're supposed to have at some point this evening.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

i will hopefully be on here tomorrow before Old Timer's Day at Yankee Stadium.

oh yeah, for those that are wondering, of course we didn't use the new oven last night. my mother sent my sister to go get some BBQ from Old Hickory in town.
