and now the rain...

 i swear, the rain has been just enough today to make my back feel like an elephant has strapped himself to me and just won't let go. these are the days where i think there isn't enough heroin in the world to take this pain away. joy.

i did have a lovely conversation last night with the Spanish princess. i can imagine if i lived closer to her, what adventures my life would be filled with now. i think both of us dream about what could be, though we both know the odds are so fucking stacked against us, how many times do we really want to roll that ball up the mountain?

the New York Rangers lost last night in Tampa in a shootout, 2-1. that was beyond fucking frustrating to watch, but at least they got a point out of the game.

team USA won at the World Juniors yesterday, defeating Switzerland, 5-1. that sets up a winner take the group game tomorrow against Finland.

the New York Knicks lost last night in San Antonio, 122-115.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

i did watch some college football last night:

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 have my favorite songs of the year lined up for tomorrow's blog. it is a pretty eclectic mix i believe.

tomorrow is going to be one of the crazy days for me that has sports on from the moment i wake up until i probably go to sleep. i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the morning.

hard to believe yet another year is coming to an end. hard to believe i'm not dead, hard to believe my mother has cheated death again, hard to believe the words still find me from time to time, hard to believe that i still have to burn fucking bridges in 2022. luckily for me, there won't be many left after this year, so... while i know it won't be smooth sailing ahead, i feel like i am in a much better position to actually do something about it. and in two days i can finally legally gamble on sports in this small minded redneck bible thumping state... time to see if i still have the smarts to turn $20 into $400 like i did so many years ago.

more on that in 2023. i am ready for 2022 to be over. hopefully, it goes out with a bang.

until tomorrow kids...

fuck racism.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

not quite the death of democracy...

 considering i live in a state that is becoming more and more bat shit crazy with right wing bullshit, i took a fair amount of glee at watching all the fucking nut jobs in other states lose. now sure, the Republicans will have control of the House, which means there will be constant investigations into all the stupid shit that they don't like that Biden has done, you know like helping fund Ukraine against an unprovoked Russian invasion, leaving Afghanistan (they will hate when they realize he was using Trump's plan to do it), and of course, have to investigate the crack head son of the President. i remember when the Republican party was actually about fiscal sanity, pro business, etc. now, it is nothing but whatever conspiracy theory gets fucking clicks. hell, i still remember the t-shirts from the right saying they would rather be Russian than a Democrat. that made me laugh as i know those dumb shits have no fucking clue what life in Russia is like. but, it looks like the Senate will still be a 50/50 split. i'm sure the Republicans loved spending all that money for a red wave that amounted to jack shit. as for Ohio, i feel real sorry for Tim Ryan. he could have easily beaten J.D. Vance if the Democratic party would have supported him. and to hear J.D. Vance talk about how he wants to do all this shit for Ohio... coming from the same piece of shit that made millions off of sending jobs from Ohio to foreign countries. now, he wants to bring them back? horse shit. two more years of Congress not getting shit done, and then the shit show of 2024 will be upon us. good times.

the New York Rangers pissed away a 2 goal lead entering the 3rd period last night, losing to the fucking Islanders, 4-3. that was the kind of loss that keeps me up until 4 or 5 in the morning.

NXT was excellent last night.

Deadliest Catch was good last night.

Tales From The Territories was great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, AEW Dynamite, The Masked Singer, two episodes of American Horror Story: NYC and Hard Knocks in Season.

the grocery shopping went pretty well today. of course, i got a text from Rite Aid that my prescriptions were ready. so, after i got all the groceries put away, i went there. i told my mother, i would hopefully be home before 5 PM. i left the house at 4:15. i got home at 4:53. what a shit show.

i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to her foot doctor.

i did get to see the USMNT selection show for the World Cup. i was a little surprised at some of the selections. 

the Knicks play tonight at the Nets. i'll watch some of that.

Manchester United plays tomorrow at home against Aston Villa in the League Cup. i will hopefully get to see some of that tomorrow.

i need to go figure out dinner, so that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

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.

so, i guess the virus is winning...

i was really looking forward to this Yankees vs. Phillies series. of course, since MLB has its head up its ass regarding this virus, the whole series (2 games in Philadelphia, 2 games in the Bronx) has been postponed. instead, the Yankees are playing tomorrow and Thursday in Baltimore, where the Marlins were supposed to be playing. their team has 15 fucking players with the virus, so they can't field a competitive team at the moment. this has CLUSTERFUCK written all over it.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

I May Destroy You was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Deadliest Catch, Dirty Jobs and Stockton On My Mind.

i did watch some of both MLS games last night. there were plenty of goals scored, that's for sure.

i will probably watch a good portion of the games tonight, hoping that both Ohio teams advance.

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

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

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

wear your mask.
