today looks like one of those days where there will be no sunshine. one of those days that are filled with misery. i really hope that's not the case.
the Dayton Flyers defeated George Mason yesterday, 74-65. Jalen Crutcher got his career high yesterday in points. amazingly, Dayton had another player out because of injury, Rodney Chatman. thankfully, Mustapha Amzil looks like he is the real deal. he and Crutcher had about half of Dayton's points yesterday. they next play at Fordham, virus permitting.
the USA defeated Slovakia 5-2 last night at the World Juniors. the semi-finals are now set. Canada will play Russia and the USA will play Finland on Monday night.
ROH was very good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of Power Book II: Ghost, Shameless and Your Honor.
the New Orleans Saints wrap up the regular season today at Carolina. if the Saints, Seahawks and Bears win today, the Saints will have the #1 seed in the NFC. i truly hope that happens.
i ordered some coffee today from Youngstown Coffee Co. since my mother loves Highlander Grogg, i'm always looking for different versions of it.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after i go to the bank.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday is even better.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.
black lives matter.
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands.
wear your mask.
me vendría bien un poco de sol
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
peace and chicken grease...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
before i get to a rather frustrating and funny bathroom situation today, here's an update on my uncle. the oncologist told my uncle that he has adenocarcinoma. it is between his spleen and colon. they told him that without treatment, he has probably 3 to 6 months. with treatment, he probably has maybe a year to 18 months. of course, he still has another scan to do that will determine the type of chemo he gets. he does want to do treatment, so he's fighting. the part that scares me is the cancer has probably made it into the lungs and i know where it goes from there. this is the same type of cancer my stepfather had. his went from his lungs to his bones and then to his brain. and my uncle's cancer is far enough along that it is certainly in stage 4.
i did go over and sit with him yesterday, just sort of shooting the shit. i figure i take out the man's trash, i can sit on his couch. of course, after 60 minutes of shooting the shit, i was ready to go. we mostly talked about the pot issue that was being voted on yesterday and life on the farm.
i wasn't surprised that pot failed in this state. the bible thumpers have this state by the balls. i figure the only way medicinal marijuana becomes legal in this state is if jesus comes down and tells all these stupid fucks that it should be. it still amazes me that so many people vote against their own best interest.
ok, so here's the story of why i was taking a shower 20 minutes after taking a shit. mom had left to go with my uncle to his doctor's appointment. i figured, given my luck, i would have a nasty shit while she was gone. sure enough at noon, my stomach started rumbling. in the process of wiping my ass, my back locked up. this is always fun. it more or less becomes just how much fucking pain can i take. somehow, while wiping and wincing in pain, i knocked some shit down into my underwear and shorts. just my luck, i didn't know i did this. so, imagine my joy when i pull up my underwear and shorts when i'm finished and then notice shit on my left leg. this is when i started to laugh as i know this could only be my fucking life. thankfully, the shower is right next to the toilet. of course, it's not exactly easy showering with a bad back. add on to that i'm trying to make sure i don't step in any shit that the water might break off. i know a fucker in Sweden that's laughing his ass off reading this.
to top my day off with a cherry, my doctor called today and had me schedule an appointment for Monday to go over some results. i figure this will be when they tell me i have some fucking disease. good times.
Manchester United actually fucking scored yesterday. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. even better, it was Wayne Rooney that did it. a HUGE win over CSKA Moscow that puts them on top of the group.
the New York Rangers were very sloppy last night and spent nearly the whole damn night in their own zone. amazingly, they still won 5-2. that to me is a huge win over a really good team, albeit the Capitals were their usual whiny bitchy pussy selves last night. that makes it even better when the Rangers eliminate them from the playoffs year after year. enjoy some highlights:
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
The Muppets was pretty funny last night. it also gave an important life lesson every male should know. never ask an ex for help picking out a gift for the new girlfriend. NEVER. The Voice was a recap show that showed the road to the live shows. i am really looking forward to the live shows. Scream Queens was hilarious last night. the ending was really good.
on the DVR tonight will be American Horror Story and You're The Worst. i will be watching NXT and probably Table for 3 on WWE Network.
i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade today. i will put the links down in the music section.
amazingly, i got most of the people i wanted for fantasy football this week. i have one team with all 3 starting wide receivers on bye weeks. that was a hilarious oh shit moment when i figured that out yesterday. i've been tinkering with my fantasy hockey team as i really need to find the right mix of players quickly. it doesn't help that i'm facing the best team in the league this week.
that's all for me today kids. i am fucking drained. my back is killing me. and i have had enough cancer talk for my next lifetime. hopefully some wrestling and some horror will take my mind off things.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
i somehow managed to get more than 4 hours of sleep last night. i'm not exactly sure how it happened, but it certainly came in handy. not that i really had much energy today or anything, but it did give me enough to be the cantankerous asshole today. i think i am slowly realizing why we moved next door to my uncle. as his health is failing, my mother is becoming more and more the caretaker of him and his wife. and since my mother's health isn't great, you know who gets to do all the shit work. this is certainly how i expected to live the rest of my life... shaming my uncle into recycling, separating their trash. imagine my joy of getting a plastic bottle out of a bag of used pads. there's got to be about 50 fucking poems right there. these are the days where i used to be able to just go sit outside and not be heard by anyone or seen by anyone. sit on the backside of a barn, smoke something, have a bottle with me, and just let my thoughts go. now, i can be one of these assholes and just sit in my garage watching everyone else in the neighborhood do the same thing. if only my bedroom had a shitter in it...
after doing about 90 minutes of surveys today, i started to go through the poems. i have 28 poems that will be sent out soon or something like that. i set aside some poems for places that i will send to once i hear back on my prior submissions. the old John Wooden line is forever in my head... failing to prepare is preparing to fail.
i still have the trash to pick up around here. i will try to get that done sometime tonight between all the shit i want to do.
the New York Yankees lost last night 4-2. they had their chances but, as usual this season, they pissed them away. i really hope they win at least one game in this series so i don't have to watch the Blue Jays celebrate making the playoffs against the Yankees. Severino pitches tonight. his 2 worst games in his young career have been against Toronto. god i hope that changes tonight.
the New York Rangers won last night 6-3. of course the game was blacked out here so i had to wait until later to see the highlights. they play again tonight against Philadelphia. i will be able to see that one as it is on the NHL Network. they are trying out the 3 on 3 OT tonight. that should be interesting.
i thought The Voice last night was pretty good. one performance really stood out to me:
hopefully the show tonight will be even better.
Gotham last night was brilliant. i can't wait to see how this season turns out. The Big Bang Theory was good. i thought i would laugh a little more than what i did. Life in Pieces was hilarious. that's a new show that i really think will make it.
ok kids, time for intermission:
and now some of this and that:
and now possibly the greatest cover of a song i have ever heard:
with the Colts losing last night, i went 6-10 on my NFL picks for week 2. not good. but, i did win all 3 of my fantasy matchups. hopefully i have found the right combination of players to start a nice long streak. and hopefully my picks are much, MUCH better for week 3.
on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Scream Queens, The Muppets and Total Divas. i'll be flipping between hockey and baseball for most of the night.
i got some FREE music at NoiseTrade today. i will put those links down in the music section.
i will be on here early tomorrow as Manchester United plays in the afternoon. of course, i will have to find the game somewhere on the internet to watch it. hopefully it goes much better than their first game in the Capital One Cup last season.
that's all for me kids. i think we're going to have to turn the air conditioner back on here. we've gone a few days with the windows open. the humidity is slowly getting to me.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
