yesterday sucked...

 it was bad enough that yesterday was the 20th anniversary of my stepfather's death. nothing really went the way i wanted, at all. one of those fucking frustrating days that makes you realize my 8 year old self was right.  let's get this day of shit going.

first up was Manchester United. they pissed away chance after chance and ended up in a 0-0 draw against Watford. mind you, Watford is 19th in the league. i should have known what the rest of the day had in store for me from there.

the Dayton Flyers pissed away a 15 point lead in the second half. now, shit like that happens. it shouldn't against a team as bad as LaSalle, but it does. what killed me was that Anthony Grant never called one fucking timeout as the lead was dwindling down. i thought he had learned his lessons, but i was mistaken. we are now back to the Coach Grant that doesn't fucking know how to make in game adjustments. the final score was 62-60. so, any chance Dayton had to make the NCAA tournament without winning the A10 tournament are dead and gone.

the New York Rangers lost at Pittsburgh yesterday, 1-0. what kills me anytime the Rangers play the Penguins is the amount of cheap shit Crosby is allowed to get away with. there's one prick i wouldn't mind seeing die on the ice. hopefully, the Rangers will win tonight at home against Vancouver.

thankfully, the Columbus Crew won yesterday, 4-0.

7 of the top 10 college basketball teams lost yesterday. that was the most top 10 teams to lose on the same day in the history of college basketball.

Saturday Night Live was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of Euphoria, the season finale of The Righteous Gemstones, the season finale of Somebody Somewhere, Last Week Tonight, Billions, Super Pumped: The Battle for UBER and Power Book IV: Force.

i'm sure i will watch some soccer today and maybe some golf or NASCAR if i need to catch a nap.

the weather is supposed to get better this week. i'll believe that when i see it.

i hope everyone had a better Saturday than i did. and here's hoping your Sunday will be even better.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to her physical therapy appointment.

until then...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the fucking shot.

CR7 to the rescue again...

 so, i wasn't really sure what to expect from Manchester United today. they were playing in Spain at Villarreal in the Champions League. they needed a win today to secure a place in the last 16 for the Champions League. David de Gea made some great saves. and then late in the match, CR7 to the rescue. United got a second goal from Jadon Sancho. i'm so happy he finally did something positive. i hope that opens the floodgates for that kid. United won 2-0. Michael Carrick got his first win. they have a huge test this weekend against Chelsea.

The Voice was really good last night. i have no damn clue who gets eliminated tonight.

Monday Night Raw was a bit crazy last night. Seth Rollins got attacked by a fan. that at least spiced things up a bit.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and NXT.

i got one of my orders from Topps.com today. i got the 2021 Topps Update value box. i'll let you guys know tomorrow if anything good is in it.

i need to get the trash picked up and figure out what we're having for dinner tonight. my sister will be down here later this evening.

thanks to everyone that checked out my latest published poems:

what a day...

 so, mom slept in, so everything i had planned got pushed back hours and hours. joy. i did go out card hunting today. i found some football cards at the Rite-Aid near the Kroger i shop at. i paid $5 for the box and they had around $15 worth of cards in it. i went to Big Lots before i went there. they only had 2 packs of cards left. so, i ended up getting some bubble mailers and a R2D2 funko pop so i could use the coupon. of course, the lady running the cash register scanned my rewards card and the coupon and then ripped both up. joy. so, i have to print out a new rewards card now. the 2019 Topps Opening Day pack had a few goods cards in it. the 2020 Topps Heritage pack had a card in it that is selling for $11. so, that made me happy. i did finally find some 2021 Topps Series 1 at Meijer today. i got 5 packs of that, which come with some purple parallels as well. i fucking love these cards. i got some really damn good rookies and some great inserts. i can see exactly why these cards are going to be harder than shit to find. at Kroger today, i had to pick up mom's really expensive pills. thankfully, she printed the GoodRx coupon for it and saved around $350. everywhere was fucking crowded as hell today. there's a winter storm coming this weekend and you would think the world was fucking ending. and of course, Valentine's Day is Sunday. who gives a shit.

i did write 2 poems last night. those 2 poems filled up that notebook. i always have a good feeling when i fill one of those up. the last poem i wrote is probably the best thing i have written in months. hopefully, i'll have a few more poems to start filling up the new notebook this weekend.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

B Positive was good last night.

The Unicorn was very good last night.

Clarice was pretty good last night. i think i'm going to like the show, mostly because i loved the movie.

Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

the New York Rangers play at home tonight against Boston. hopefully, they get more than a point out of this game.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm guessing either morning or late afternoon. kind of depends on the weather and whatever the fuck is on television.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. 

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

always fun to be walking and your left leg gives out...

i was walking from the kitchen to the living room last night to shut the blinds and i could feel my left knee just absolutely give out. that was fucking fun. i didn't really hear a pop or felt anything tear, so i took it slow the rest of the night. after a glass of something strong and 5 hours of sleep, i woke up today and didn't feel any pain. i figure there's a war going on inside my body. however it turns out, i'm going to lose one way or another.

we had the power go out for a few minutes today. at least i wasn't in the fucking shower like last time.

i wrote 10 poems yesterday. that brings the total for February to 55. that's a fucking ridiculous number to be honest. of course, if i get them all published i will be fucking thrilled. i typed the 10 up last night after i got the trash out to the curb. the poems are pretty good. a few of them will be in my first round of submissions for March.

The Voice was pretty good last night.

Smackdown was pretty good last night until they had John Cena defeat AJ Styles. talk about ending a show with a bitter taste in your mouth. what a clusterfuck.

205 Live was excellent last night.

Baskets was pretty funny last night.

Hate Thy Neighbor was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The X-Files. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at LaSalle. they haven't won there in 7 seasons. i highly doubt tonight will be the night that changes.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Vancouver. it will be interesting to see how some of the new players fit in. i'd love to see the Rangers tank the season and get a high draft pick.

i did watch a good portion of the New York Yankees today. they lost to Detroit 9-6. that was their first loss of spring training. i did get to see the mammoth home run Gary Sanchez hit. i saw that right before i left to go to the store.

mom had me go to the store in town to see if i could find anything we could use the strawberries we had left on. i was hoping to find something like an angel food cake like before, but i couldn't. instead i settled on a small butter pound cake, which i think will work fine. that will end up being dessert tonight.

i think there is a 90% chance of rain tomorrow. so, i'll be a cranky fucker. there's your warning.

i hope you have enjoyed the videos of the day this month. i do feel it's somewhat sad that so many people don't know shit about black history. i hope you did learn something in the videos i've posted.

i'll be on here tomorrow in the morning, before mom's last physical therapy session.

hasta entonces mis amigos
