not a bad way to start this weekend...

i've spent the last two hours sitting at my computer trying to get updates on the high school i went to. they were trying to win their 3rd state championship in football. given the tornado that basically destroyed Trotwood, the whole town was pulling for a victory today. i don't believe in happy endings, so i was fearing the worse. the game went to OT when Trotwood had a game winning field goal blocked. but, thankfully, Trotwood scored in OT and then intercepted Mansfield Senior on the final play of the game to win 14-7. all 3 of these championships are miracles to me. the team fucking sucked when i was in high school. but, hopefully it lifts the spirits of my former hometown and they truly enjoy it.

the New York Rangers had their backup goalie stand on his head last night (45 saves) and they defeated Columbus 3-2. they are at home tonight against Montreal.

NXT UK was really good last night.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

The Unicorn was very good last night.

i did watch some of the Bears vs. Cowboys last night. i love when the Cowboys lose.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i did listen to the latest episode of Notsam Wrestling late last night. you can find that by going here:

shopping at Menards yesterday went pretty well. we found just about everything we were looking for. i thought mom did pretty well. we went to eat after we got done.

the grocery shopping today was crazy. you would think the world was ending. and of course, we've been living on scraps since Thanksgiving, so i had a fucking scroll of shit to buy. thankfully, i kept it under $200.

i'm going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow. this is is going to be a fucking crazy football weekend. Ohio State plays for the Big Ten Championship tomorrow night. the New Orleans Saints have a huge game on Sunday against the 49ers. and, to start the whole weekend off is the Manchester derby. so, i'm hoping to get the blog done before United and City play tomorrow. that way i won't be trying to do one in the afternoon totally pissed off or too fucking drunk.

i do need to figure out who i'm sending Christmas cards/gifts to this year and where the fuck my next round of poems will be going to.

so, the candle will be burning at both ends this evening.

i hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. get your shopping done and hopefully your weather doesn't fucking suck this weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

welcome to the weekend...

these are the weekends where i love being a sports fan. college football, college basketball, NHL. NBA, NFL, everything a loner could ask for...

Trotwood won last night in Wapakoneta 33-21. that's a 7 seed beating a 2 seed on the road in the high school football playoffs.

Smackdown was good last night, as was 205 Live. if the WWE are going to give me The Fiend vs. Daniel Bryan, i'll be happy for the rest of 2019.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

Room 104 was fucking excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW and ROH.

Ohio State plays at home today against Maryland. Chase Young, the best defensive player in all of college football, won't be playing today because of the antiquated NCAA rules. they shouldn't need him today.

the Dayton Flyers officially start their season today at home against Indiana State. the game is a sell out so i'll have to leave here early to get a decent parking spot. i'm really looking forward to this season for Dayton. they are fucking loaded.

i would love to watch LSU vs. Alabama today, but our local CBS station is still fucked up. i suppose that's what happens when you drag your feet on technology entering the 21st century.

i will probably be on here tomorrow in the morning, especially since Manchester United, the Rangers and the Saints all play around the same time tomorrow.

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

until tomorrow kids...

a drive through hell...

i had to get out of the house today. i wanted mom to come along, but her back was really bothering her. i needed to go to Meijer to more or less restock the house with some cleaning supplies. after that, i drove through Trotwood, at least part of it, to see how bad it really was. as the title states, it was a drive through hell. i didn't try to go back into the neighborhood i grew up in. i didn't have the stomach for it. the bank i go to looked like it had the roof badly damaged, so i know it won't be open anytime soon. i know they upgraded the tornado to an EF4 that hit the town. it certainly looked like it. fuck me.

mom wanted a frozen drink from Burger King. thankfully, the new one that is closest to the house was open again.

after i got home and had lunch, i took a nap. i didn't sleep much last night, and i highly doubt i will tonight either.

Liverpool won the Champions League yesterday, 2-0. that's the last fucking time i want to think about it.

a little poetry news to pass on. i heard back from Darren at Parhelion Literary Magazine on my poetry submission from back in March. they decided to pass. well, that's 5 more for me to choose from for the upcoming submissions.

the New York Yankees won again last night over Boston, 5-3. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

here are your highlights from Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final:

NXT Takeover 25 was excellent last night. honestly, everything they do in NXT and NXT UK for that matter is light years ahead of what is on Raw and Smackdown.

Bad Times at the El Royale was brilliant. i have to agree with the one review that said this movie will become a cult classic. i loved the jump cuts and just how brutal some of the scenes were. plus, one of my favorite lines i will use for the rest of my life from Jeff Bridges... "shit happens, get the whiskey"

ROH was good last night.

we had some thunderstorms roll in last night. i figure that is part of the reason why i didn't sleep well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Last Week Tonight, Axios, Our Cartoon President, Billions and The Chi.

Game 2 of the NBA Finals is tonight. i will probably watch some of that.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday has been even better.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i don't think mom has anything until Tuesday, so maybe tomorrow becomes laundry day.

until then kids...

a Memorial Day i will never forget...

i heard the sirens going off. i could see the sky getting darker and the winds really picking up. i have been fascinated by storms since i was a child. my adrenaline started pumping and i went to the window in the front of the house. the lightning was truly fucking crazy. i smiled and said i have waited 43 fucking years, come and get me. the tornado missed where i live by about a mile. it hit the high school in the town i live in and then went and pretty much destroyed the town i grew up in, Trotwood, Ohio. today has been a flood of fucking memories. i could say i hope this is the start of a new future, but hope left this fucking area many moons ago. my hometown already was part ghost, now it might as well be a fucking corpse. i guess the roof got blown off the house i grew up in. my mother said this is the worst she has seen here in her 65 years on this planet. just fucking crazy.

my favorite strip club took a direct hit

and the shit from the town i grew up in...

i have no clue if this region will ever recover. needless to say, mom didn't want to travel south of town today to meet her financial planner. that will happen next week now.

in other news...

the New York Yankees won yesterday against the Padres, 5-2. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

here are your highlights from Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final:

i was really hoping that Monday Night Raw was going to be good last night. i'm still hoping it will be some day... thank god at least Bray Wyatt still entertains me.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, Deadliest Catch and Songland. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

there's a chance for more thunderstorms tonight. i wouldn't mind a break from mother nature at the moment.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow. hopefully, i won't be up to 5 in the morning again listening to scanner traffic. i didn't get much sleep after listening to hours and hours of street names i knew and can remember vividly from my childhood.

i truly hope the weather is better where you are.

until tomorrow...
