living or running out the clock?

 mom didn't get out bed yesterday until 5 PM. she asked me how do i look? i told her she didn't have bags under her eyes anymore. she was asleep for more than 14 hours. i barely sleep that long in a week. the way my back and left shoulder feel, i think the only way i am sleeping is the pain makes me sleep. and that's not good sleep. that's basically fighting death. and quite honestly, i have no interest in fighting death.

Manchester United won yesterday at home against Barnsley, 7-0. holy shit, that was beautiful to watch.

the Yankees won last night in Seattle, 11-2. the magic number to make the playoffs is 1. the magic number to clinch the division is 8. they have a 4 game lead over the Orioles in the AL East. i think they have a 1 1/2 game lead over Cleveland for the best record in the American League.

NXT was very good last night.

Deadliest Catch was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, Big Brother and Inside The NFL.

grocery shopping was difficult today. i iced my shoulder down before i went. that didn't last nearly as long as i hoped. and although i did save a good amount of money today, everything cost me over $200. fuck me.

i need to get started on dinner, so that's all for me today kids.

i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to get some blood work done.

waited 6 years for this...

 Manchester United has finally won another trophy. it had been nearly 6 years since they had won anything. and given that this day is the anniversary of my stepfather dying 21 years ago, i am really, really happy they won the League Cup today over Newcastle, 2-0.

the Dayton Flyers lost yesterday at home to George Mason, 74-69. Dayton played like shit for most of the game and what usually happens in one of these games, they played down to their competition yet again. they never took advantage of George Mason having their best player in foul trouble. Dayton missed way too many free throws and had way too many turnovers in crucial moments of the game. this also brings me back to the point i have always made about Anthony Grant. he isn't the type of coach that knows how to have his players take absolute control of a game when it is there to be taken. sadly, there is a time as an athlete where you have to have the mentality of stepping on a neck and eliminating any hope. it has been 6 years and Dayton still doesn't have that ability. and don't get me started about when Anthony Grant coaches against other black coaches, especially the ones that look up to him and respect him. just because you are admired doesn't mean you aren't allowed to beat them by 20 or 30 points. they play LaSalle on Tuesday. if they don't win that game, that means they will have to win at Saint Louis to secure the double bye in the A10 tournament. 

i did watch plenty of the MLS games last night. i love the MLS 360 on Apple TV. that should do wonders for the viewing experience for the league.

the New York Rangers lost at Washington yesterday, 6-3. they play tonight at home against the Kings.

the New York Knicks won last night at home against New Orleans, 128-106.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

Saturday Night Live was very funny last night.

The Weeknd: Live at Sofi Stadium was very good last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Your Honor, The Last of Us and Last Week Tonight.

i'm sure i will watch some college basketball and lord knows what else later today.

i need to order some Pizza Hut as that is the victory meal for Manchester United winning the League Cup today.

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

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

the grocery shopping today was painful. first, i went to Rite Aid and my pills weren't ready. i only called them in on Sunday. and then, the pharmacy manager asked if i wanted to get my vaccines caught up. i asked what ones am i missing? she then hands me a list and goes over them. i told her i already had the Hep B vaccine done and it was a 2 shot dose. she then tells me they don't do Hep B vaccines in 2 shot doses. i looked at her like are you calling me a fucking liar... i told her i'm not getting any shots today, i just need my fucking prescriptions filled. god that pisses me off. like someone else knows my body better than i do. the local grocery store wasn't too bad. Kroger was not as busy as it usually is on Wednesday. i tried my best to get what was on the list and save as much money as i could. i got over $48 off on the groceries today and it still cost over $215. fuck me. and my bad back started fucking with me in the store and my right knee decided it wanted attention as well. joy. i made it home in time to watch the second half of the Manchester United game today.

Manchester United defeated Nottingham Forest today 2-0 to advance to the League Cup finals. this will be their first Cup final in 5 fucking years. they will play Newcastle at Wembley on February 26th.

i did pretty good gambling last night. hopefully, i will do better tonight.

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

another cloudy day...

 so, i finished clearing off the driveway today. i was smart about it at least. i went as far as my back would allow. now, if i was younger, i would have done it all yesterday. but, i know i'm not younger, so at least it got done.

ok, let me start off from where i left this blog yesterday. 

Manchester United won yesterday at Nottingham Forest, 3-0. they basically are one more win away from actually playing for the League Cup trophy.

that was about where my joy ended yesterday.

the Dayton Flyers lost at Rhode Island, 75-70. once again, the dip in form that always comes in an Anthony Grant coached team (except for one damn season) is now back again.

the New York Rangers lost at Toronto in OT, 3-2. gave up another third period lead.

the USMNT lost to Serbia last night, 2-1, in a friendly. it was good to see some new faces playing. i'm just wondering who they are going to hire to be the coach.

AEW Dynamite was excellent last night.

Name That Tune was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and NJPW.

the New York Knicks play tonight at Boston.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

i did get my other order from Fanatics today. i got some New Orleans Saints football cards. i did get a few nice rookies in it, so that was cool.

i need to vacuum the house sometime tonight and make dinner. i would have loved to do that earlier but mom took a 3 hour nap this afternoon. i didn't want to be the asshole to wake her up.

i know i need to go to Rite Aid tomorrow to pick up a prescription. i should be on here after that, weather permitting.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

a few inches of snow...

 it did snow overnight. we got a few inches. i was really happy mom cancelled the appointment she had this morning. there was no way i wanted to drive in this shit. i made some biscuits and gravy this morning for breakfast. i figured that would be good for a day like this.

the New York Knicks won last night over Cleveland, 105-103.
