bring on the madness...

 so, i thought i got some sleep last night. of course, i was up this morning at 6:30 AM. by 10 AM, i was in my massage chair, watching the Dan Patrick Show. next thing i knew, it was 1:30 in the afternoon. i guess i get better sleep in my massage chair. so, i know the pinched nerve is definitely back. joy.

i was driving home from the bank today and a poem came to me. it never fucking fails, the good ones always come when i don't have a chance to write them down. thankfully, i basically repeated it to myself and wrote it out by the time i got home. 

Monday Night Raw was excellent yesterday.

The Voice was very good last night.

i hit a 10 team parlay last night on NBA games. that certainly was unexpected. i always love turning $2.10 into a little over $70.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT.

the First Four starts tonight. St. Francis plays Alabama State and North Carolina plays San Diego St.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Calgary.

i have no clue what i'm going to make for dinner tonight.

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

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

Trae la locura

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

fucking squirrels...

 so, the guy from Orkin was here today. they did a full inspection of the house and figured out that we have a fucking family of squirrels living in the attic. now, their fix for this is to remove all the insulation, disinfect everything, replace the insulation and close up all the places the fucking flying rats have been getting in. they also are going to put a shield over our gutters as part of that. and for shits and giggles, we're going to protect for termites just in fucking case. so, basically, this will cost the money set aside for a new vehicle. so, i guess the 2002 Toyota Highlander will have to survive another decade or so. good times. not exactly how i wanted to spend an afternoon while it snows on and off today. fuck me.

i did watch the NCAA selection show yesterday. Dayton was one of the last four teams called. fuck me. they are a #7 seed in the West. they will play #10 seed Nevada on Thursday in Salt Lake City, Utah. now, the ironic thing is this is the same city Dayton started their run to the elite eight 40 years ago. i would love to see a repeat of that, but i'm not holding my breath.

The Regime last night was hilarious.

Curb Your Enthusiasm was fucking great last night.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

here are your NBA highlights from yesterday:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

for those interested, i have UConn beating Kentucky for the national championship. i am only doing one bracket this year. hopefully, it will win me some money.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from the dealership. the Highlander needs the oil changed and hopefully, nothing else.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

and now, rain...

it started raining this morning. thankfully, after i already got the newspaper and brought the trash can up. i think it's supposed to rain for the next 3 days. so, i'm going to try to beat a cold while in fucking pain. joy.

i saw today that the New Orleans Saints are bringing back Malcolm Jenkins. this makes me extremely happy. one of my favorite players to ever play at Ohio State and the Saints. hopefully the team will have the same success they had his rookie year.

Vice News Tonight was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight (weather permitting) will be The Masked Singer, AEW and NXT.

i think i'm going to try to watch Black Panther this afternoon since the fucking satellite is going in and out at the moment.

oh, how i love the fucking rain.

one of these days i'll actually make it to the bank...

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

until then...

embrace the pain like an old lover...

i will tell anyone that listens, the only way i have made it to being 43 is finding the pleasure in the pain. the day that stops, i stop. so far, so good.

i thought the NCAA did a good job with the brackets this year. i can't imagine Duke not winning it all this year, although i'd love to see them lose. for the first time in like 30 years, i'm not filling out a bracket. i want to just sit back and enjoy the games for a change.

i will be going to the First Four tomorrow and Wednesday. below are the games i will be watching:

Tuesday:
Prairie View A&M vs. Fairleigh Dickinson
Temple vs. Belmont

Wednesday:
N.C. Central vs. North Dakota St.
St. John's vs. Arizona State

the Dayton Flyers are playing at Colorado in the NIT. the game is on at 11 PM on Tuesday. most of the Dayton fans will be asleep by then. the game is very interesting though for one reason. Colorado's starting point guard originally was going to go to Dayton until Archie Miller left for Indiana. so the matchup between him and Jalen Crutcher will be one to watch.

mom had her last physical therapy session today. her strength in her shoulder is much better now, as is her range of motion. we went out to Perkins after the session.

i wrote 10 poems today while mom was in her physical therapy session. i will type those up late tonight probably.

The Case Against Adnan Syed was really good last night. that episode reaffirmed everything i have thought about Baltimore police for the last 30 years.

the season finale of High Maintenance was excellent last night.

Last Week Tonight was fucking brilliant as usual.

Billions was great last night. should be another crazy season.

Black Monday was really good last night.

SMILF was good last night.

Total Bellas was pretty good last night. next week is the season finale.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

the weather was pretty good today. i'm hoping it stays that way for the next few days.

the New York Yankees won both of their games yesterday. so, i had at least 2 drinks on St. Patrick's Day. they are leading the Braves so far tonight.

i will be on here in the morning tomorrow. everything gets moved up tomorrow with having two basketball games to go to tomorrow night.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

best of luck if you are gambling on the basketball games.

until tomorrow kids...

i knew there was a reason i was getting a haircut today...

i just watched the team i picked to win the national championship this season (Michigan St.) lose in the NCAA tournament. never good when my brackets can't make it out of the first weekend.

a little poetry news to pass on... i did get that wild hair up my ass, it was either that or a little too much alcohol and sent out 17 poems today. 6 each to In Between Hangovers and Midnight Lane Boutique; 5 to Horror Sleaze Trash. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

Manchester United advanced in the FA Cup yesterday 2-0. it was a rather listless performance. to me, it seemed like the mind fuckery going on with the coach to his players has the majority of the players afraid to fail. that's never a good thing. Lukaku and Matic scored the goals. they have played for Mourinho before, so they know his tricks. United will play Tottenham in the semifinals of the FA Cup next month.

the New York Rangers lost in OT last night against St. Louis 4-3. it does look like the kids like playing the role of spoiler.

ROH was really good last night.

Saturday Night Live was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Our Cartoon President, Homeland, the season finale of The Chi, Here and Now and Last Week Tonight.

the weather was finally nice enough today that i was able to take mom to get her haircut. i figured i would get mine done as well since i hadn't had it cut since December. as i told the lady before she started, my only hope is i look different than when i came in here. mission accomplished.

after we got done there, i had to take mom to get some cash out of the ATM. we ended up driving past where we used to live. i was pretty surprised at the amount of water damage in the area. hell, one field was still under water about a mile or so from our old farm.

i will be on here tomorrow after a trip to the bank and getting some gas. i think there's a chance of snow this coming week and then a quick warmup after that. joy.

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

all things come to an end

while i was watching the final seconds tick away last night as the Dayton Flyers were losing to Wichita State, i tried to focus on the positive. i tried to think about the good times these seniors had over the last 4 years. but, my mind eventually came back to what if #5 wouldn't have died before the season? what if their highest scorer wouldn't have gone 1 out of 10 for the game? what if the selection committee would have actually given Wichita State the seed it deserved? what if there was an actually competent officiating crew that did this game? once again, the officials robbed Dayton of having a decent chance to win a game it absolutely could have. if Dayton got 1 call down the stretch of the game, then Wichita State got about 10. it doesn't help that Scoochie and KP were the only Dayton players to make more than 1 shot the entire fucking game. plus, it's really fucking hard to win when you get out rebounded by 19. and what absolutely pains me the most is the best senior class in Dayton history ends its career on 3 straight losses. Dayton lost 64-58.

i'd really like to thank Wichita State's head coach for the class he showed after the game, especially when talking about Archie Miller and the Flyers seniors. and i'd also like to thank him for publicly blasting the committee for shitting on every non power school in the tournament. hopefully they fucking get their revenge on Kentucky on Sunday.

the New York Rangers lost last night to Florida, 4-3 in a shootout. that's the 6th straight home game the Rangers have lost. i guess they must believe they have already clinched a playoff spot now. they play on the road tonight in Minnesota.

VICE was excellent last night.

NJPW was excellent as well last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

i will probably watch some college basketball tonight although i really couldn't give a shit who wins now.

my sister is bringing lunch, so she should be here soon. when i get done with that, i'll be heading to the grocery store.

i'll be on here tomorrow, most likely after Manchester United plays in the morning.

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