as long time readers of this blog know, i try to do a little bit each day in this blog in February to celebrate black history month. i also know, most people in this country are way too fucking ignorant when it comes to black history. so, i'd like to think maybe i am teaching someone something they never knew before. so, i will probably share a few links or videos each day this month. i hope you get something out of them. and honestly, i don't want to hear if you don't like it.
that being said, here are your links for this day of black history month:
the New York Rangers made a trade last night with Vancouver. J.T. Miller is coming back to the place where he got drafted years ago. hopefully, he finds the form he had last year and drags the Rangers into the playoffs this year. he will be in the lineup today when the Rangers play at Boston this afternoon.
the Dayton Flyers won in St. Louis last night, 71-63.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
Smackdown was excellent last night. i can't wait for the Royal Rumble today.
Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Collision and Austin City Limits.
i will be watching the WWE Royal Rumble for most of the evening.
i did go to the bank today. after i made the deposit, i came back home. imagine how fun it is to come home and find your mother on her hands and knees not knowing how she fell or how she got to where she was. and of course, she didn't want to be checked out or anything. welcome to my day of frustration now. (my best guess now after she just woke up again and doesn't remember falling is she was sleepwalking.)
i did write 1 poem last night. it was about tragedy, which of course, there was another one last night.
i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the morning.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
until tomorrow kids...

so, my birthday yesterday went pretty well. i was hoping to hear from more people, but that is the beauty of getting older. i was very happy with what mom got me. the Aaron Judge rookie card certainly surprised me. i went to the bank today to deposit my birthday money. after that, i went to Big Lots since i had a 15% off coupon for my birthday. they didn't have anything i was looking for.
the New York Rangers won last night in Anaheim, 5-2. i found out during the game that Jonathan Quick and K'Andre Miller also were born on January 21st. learn something new everyday.
i did watch both NFL playoff games yesterday. the Lions beat Tampa Bay, 31-23. the Chiefs won in Buffalo, 27-24. so, next week it will be Chiefs at Ravens and Lions at 49ers. winners go to the Super Bowl.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan was very good last night.
True Detective Night Country was excellent last night.
The Woman In The Wall looks like it will be very interesting to watch.

so, i thought Smackdown did a pretty good job last night remembering Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt. the beginning of the show really got to me. the ending was a really nice touch.
NXT Level Up was pretty good last night.
AEW Rampage was good last night.
the Yankees won last night at Tampa, 6-2. that was the first time they had won on the road in 2 months. they play again down in that dump this afternoon.
i did get my order from Repacked Wax today. i got some basketball, football and baseball cards. when the first pull from the first pack i opened was a Michael Jordan card worth over $10, i knew i was going to be happy with the cards. all in all, i got a really good mix of cards.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Collision.
so, when Manchester United got down 2-0 in the first 4 minutes today at home to Nottingham Forest, i quickly turned off the game, knowing i didn't need the fucking stress. thankfully, United came all the way back to win the game, 3-2. they desperately needed that win.
i'm sure i will watch some college football tonight, maybe some MLS and maybe some baseball.
i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. i might try to watch some of the pre-show to the ppv AEW has tomorrow in London. i think that will be FREE on YouTube.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
i don't think our AC is working properly. i'm guessing the last few days may have killed it. great.

so, i got up early this morning to make sure i was up when the contractor was supposed to be here. i got mom up early as well. the contractor called and said he would be late, that he had to stop at the office, etc. and then we got a call around noon with him saying he wouldn't make it out today and he will see us on Monday. so yeah, today as just felt like a fucking waste.
here are your links to this day of Black History Month:
the New York Rangers lost last night in Detroit, 4-1.

so, i was up at 6:45 this morning. i got mom up at 7:30. the guy that was supposed to start the demo on mom's bathroom called around 8 and said he was sick. fuck me. amazingly, the vanity my mother ordered that was supposed to arrive at the end of the month was delivered today. how that driver got his semi into the cul-de-sac is beyond me. and then after i got home from the grocery shopping and mom got done with her nap, we went to Lowe's to look at bathroom lights and paint. so, i guess tomorrow the demo will begin, at least in theory. the company that is doing the renovation said they will have everything (that is here at least) done in 3 days. hopefully, that will happen.
here are your links for this day of Black History Month:
rest in peace to one of the most beautiful women i have EVER seen, Raquel Welch. i had a crush on her for most of my life i guess. thank you for always being funny and so fucking beautiful.
NXT was really good last night.
both episodes of MLW last night were pretty good.

i did pretty well in my gambling last night. nailed all my NHL bets and a couple college basketball and NBA bets. hopefully, i will do even better tonight.

i need to figure out dinner tonight and do a couple hundred other things before i try to get my 4 hours of sleep tonight.
that's all for me kids...
thanks to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
i told my mother last night when Jacksonville scored before halftime, that if they score first in the second half, the Chargers will choke this game away. sure enough. Trevor Lawrence threw 4 INTs in the first half. he threw 4 TDs in the second half. Jacksonville won 31-30. the Chargers blew a 27 point lead. in the first game of the day, the 49ers defeated Seattle, 41-23. i made some money on both games, which made me happy. hopefully, i will make money on all 3 games today, Dolphins at Bills, Giants at Vikings and Ravens at Bengals.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:
Austin City Limits was very good last night.
i did get a laugh yesterday when my account at DraftKings had my winnings at $666.25.

the New York Rangers play later this afternoon at home against Montreal.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i think mom and i are actually going to start to take down all the Christmas shit tomorrow. i know she wants to rearrange the living room before my birthday this coming Saturday.
and if you feel the need to get me something for my birthday, you are more than welcome to do so.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
it was one of those nights where i could never get comfortable in bed. between the phantom pains in my left leg from a blood clot years ago to a pinched nerve in my neck that i thought was getting better... i couldn't find a spot to sleep for anything. sometime around 5 AM, exhaustion took over my body. of course, i saw the clock at 6 and then 7 and then at 9:30, i said fuck it. and then i somehow managed to strain my Achilles tendon while standing up. as i told my mother, it is the official sign i am getting old, falling apart and the dirt will be coming soon. she laughed as she knows i won't be dead anytime soon. of course, the same thing goes for her as well.
the Yankees lost last night to the Reds, 7-6, in 10 innings. they start a series tonight at home against the Red Sox. hopefully they will clean up the mistakes and actually play good baseball again before the All Star break.
the USWNT defeated Costa Rica last night, 3-0. they will play Canada in the finals of the CONCACAF women's championship on Monday.
Big Brother was interesting last night. Paloma left the game because of her anxiety getting the best of her. i want to believe that, but the cynical fuck in me thinks this is her cover for the racist shit she started against Taylor. so, no one got "evicted" last night. Jasmine is the new HOH.
The Old Man was fucking great last night. the season finale is next week.
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.
Manchester United won 4-1 today in Australia. and better yet, Christian Eriksen is finally a red.
the New York Rangers signed their first draft pick already. i really like this kid.
i should be on here tomorrow after i go to the bank and probably do some other Saturday morning shopping.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
thanks to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
the heat today was oppressive for sure. it was classic Ohio in the summer, but it felt like an August heat. the air you can wear. and it was like that from the moment i woke up. of course, i didn't fall asleep to almost 5 in the fucking morning. i was hoping i would get some poems written but that never happened last night. one thing that happens to me in the summer is i have so much other shit i am interested in, the poet in me tends to get lost in the shuffle. every once in a while, i have to blow up that fucker's ego and just go for it. of course, i would love to not have to jump through any fucking hoops. but that utopia has always been foreign to me.
so, the doctor's appointment went well yesterday. my weight was down. my A1C was down. my blood pressure was perfect. hell, the appointment was shorter than the drive there. i will have to do some bloodwork and a urine sample before my next appointment. that is in September.
the baseball cards from Repacked Wax yesterday were excellent. i spent a little under $40 on the 10 packs. there was close to $80 worth of cards in them. that is why i keep buying from them. the best card in the packs was a 1973 Topps Tom Seaver.
the Yankees lost last night down at that dump in Tampa, 5-4. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.
i did watch some of the NHL awards last night. Igor Shesterkin won the Vezina trophy. i have a feeling it won't be the last time he wins it.
NXT was pretty good last night.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night.
Holey Moley was crazy as usual last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and AEW Dynamite.
Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final is tonight.
the grocery shopping went pretty well today. i was able to keep the bill under $100 at Kroger today. that was a minor miracle.
mom's injection worked for the most part. she knows it can't take away all the pain, but it has taken away a good portion of it.
she is going to try to go to physical therapy tomorrow. so, i'm going to try to get the blog done in the morning so i won't be trying to squeeze it in tomorrow night.
there are storms all around us but no rain here as i am writing this. but my arthritis doesn't know that. fuck me.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck war.
fuck the police.
black lives matter.
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands.
stay socially distant.
get the fucking shot.

so, today was crazy. the rain started sooner than the "experts" said it would. so, my drive to the dealership was a bit painful. but, i did make it on time. thankfully, all the check engine light was was a loose hose. and since it was related to why i had the Highlander in there last month, there was no charge. well hot damn. by this time, the rain was really coming down. i drove back home as i was hoping the trash would be picked up and the mail would be delivered. well, at least the mail was here. i then went and did the local grocery shopping. got my pills at Rite Aid and some baseball cards. there was about $10 worth of cards in the box. i took that shit home and by then, the trash had been picked up. so i got the trash can back into the garage. i'm also in charge of my neighbor's trash cans. they are in their 90's, so i don't mind taking the empties back up for them. then i went to Kroger and between all the shit my sister wants for the Easter dinner she's cooking here and me thinking about shit for mom to eat and actually get some decent protein and low sodium out of it, i was thrilled to keep it all under $200. mom's back has been killing her today. so, i had to put the groceries away. i have no problem doing that. i just want to make sure mom knows what is here so she actually eats it instead of forgetting i ever bought it in the first place. her memory is basically shot anymore. somedays i feel like i am taking care of someone that may say she is 68, but is probably closer to 86 at times.
i still have 2 poems to type up that i wrote at the car dealership. i'll get that done before i go to bed sometime tonight.
the New York Yankees won last night over Toronto, 4-0. hopefully, they do that again tonight.
the New York Rangers lost last night to Carolina, 4-2. oh well. at least Chris Kreider did score his 50th goal of the season. he's only the 4th Rangers player to ever do it. the boys play tonight in Philadelphia. hopefully, they whip the Flyers asses.
NXT was really good last night.
Young Rock was excellent last night.
Name That Tune was good last night. damn Kim Fields is still fine as fuck.

i'm really fucking hoping the thunderstorms that are supposed to come through tonight at least wait until i get the shows recorded.
i should be on here tomorrow after mom has her physical therapy in the afternoon. if i really have my shit together, i might get the blog done in the morning.
who the fuck knows.
that's all for me kids. i need ice on my back pronto and i need to figure out what the fuck is for dinner.
until tomorrow kids...

so, i was already in a pissy mood this morning after getting up early to watch Manchester United shit the bed against Everton. and then my mood turned to sadness. i saw the news that Dwayne Haskins died this morning in Florida. 3 weeks before his 25th birthday. so damn tragic. rest in peace.
Manchester United lost at Everton, 1-0. at this rate, United is going to struggle to finish in the top 10 of the league.
ok, now some positive shit. the Yankees never had the lead yesterday against Boston until the 11th inning. of course, that was the only time they needed to have the lead. the Yankees won, 6-5 in 11 innings. Rizzo, Stanton and DJ hit home runs. Josh Donaldson had the winning single in his first game as a Yankee. hopefully, they will find a way to win this afternoon. i did see what the Yankees offered Aaron Judge. i think the offer was fair but i don't mind Aaron betting on himself and trying to get a better deal out of them. now, if he thinks he is getting the Mike Trout deal, i'd love to be smoking what he is obviously smoking.
i got some football cards at Rite Aid yesterday. there were a few decent cards in the box. i really liked the one Justin Fields rookie card in it.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.
AEW Rampage was fantastic last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty funny last night.
A Black Lady Sketch Show was fucking hilarious last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Ottawa. if the Rangers win, they will clinch a playoff spot. a win would also give them 100 points on the season and they would be tied for the division lead.
the USWNT plays a friendly today against Uzbekistan.
i'm sure i will watch some MLS games today as well.
it did fucking snow this morning a little. nothing really stuck, at least so far.
congrats to Obi Toppin for setting his career high in points last night.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
i should be on here tomorrow by the early afternoon.
