this is what happens...

 so, i was dead tired last night and went to sleep a little after 2 AM. i woke up feeling really relaxed. i rolled over and the clock said 4:41 AM. i deflated. it was then a process of twenty minute naps until 6 AM came along. i frustratingly got up and got my day going. of course, after i had breakfast and talked to mom a bit, i went out to my massage chair and fell asleep. 3 hours later, woke up and was shocked. i would give a limb to get a decent night of continuous sleep.

The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.

Abbott Elementary was very funny last night.

AEW Dynamite was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage. 

the New York Rangers play tonight at Minnesota.

Manchester United plays later today at home against Real Sociedad in the Europa League. the first leg finished 1-1. so, United needs to win today to advance.

i will most likely be on here tomorrow long before the Dayton Flyers play tomorrow night in the A10 tournament.

no clue what i will make for dinner tonight. kind of depends on how mom is feeling. 

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 off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

Esto es lo que pasa

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...

what could have been

 the Dayton Flyers were playing good yesterday. right before halftime, their starting point guard turned his ankle. when i saw him come out on crutches for the second half, i feared what was coming next. but, the rest of the players rallied and turned an 8 point lead at halftime into a 15 point lead. and then, it seemed like reality hit them. they ran out of steam, the coaching staff didn't help them at all, and eventually, they pissed away that 15 point lead and lost to Richmond, 68-64. now, i know damn well if Malachi Smith doesn't get injured, Dayton wins that game. and to watch Richmond celebrate like they actually believe they are better than Dayton was comical to watch. i truly hope Davidson beats the shit out of them today and the A10 will be a 1 bid league.

before that debacle, i watched the Manchester United game against Tottenham. thank god for CR7. he scored a hat trick and United beat Tottenham 3-2. this was a game they desperately had to win. next up is another game they have to win on Tuesday in the Champions League.

when i turned the New York Rangers game on last night, they were losing to Dallas, 2-0. thankfully, it didn't stay that way. the Rangers won last night, 7-4.

Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night.

i did remember to change the clocks last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Billions, Super Pumped: The Battle for UBER, Last Week Tonight, Game Theory with Bomani Jones, Power Book IV: Force and Shining Vale.

mom wanted chicken wings last night. the only place around that has wings she likes is Pizza Hut. so, that was what we had for dinner last night. and i imagine the rest of the pizza and wings will be either lunch or dinner tonight.

this coming week is going to be crazy. mom has an appointment for either physical therapy or her skin cancer just about everyday this week. i have a doctor's appointment on Thursday. and of course, have to do the grocery shopping on Wednesday. so, i'm going to try to get the blog done tomorrow in the morning, before i have to take mom to physical therapy.

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

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck Putin.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the fucking shot.

sunshine, what the hell...

it actually got up to 60 degrees today. holy shit, i actually turned off the furnace, at least for a few hours. once i get this done, i might actually put out some bird food.

my laundry is all done. so, i'll actually have clean clothes for being in public the next couple of weeks.

Smackdown was really good last night.

205 Live was really good last night as well.

i watched NXT UK this afternoon. it was excellent once again.

the New York Yankees came back to win last night over Baltimore, 8-7. they play the Phillies tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, You're The Worst and Drop the Mic. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Vancouver. i'll probably watch some of that late tonight.

and i'll probably sprinkle in some college basketball tonight as well.

mom has physical therapy tomorrow afternoon, so i'll be on here after that.

hopefully, the weather is good where you are. go enjoy it.

i could do without the snow today...

it's always nice when you have about a thousand things to do before you have to be somewhere and you open the blinds to see a snowstorm. just fucking lovely.

i did type up those 8 poems i wrote yesterday. there are a few winners in there, that's for sure. i will probably have another round of submissions next week.

i did watch a little of the New York Yankees last night. they lost to the Twins 2-1. oh well.

the New York Rangers own Carolina at Madison Square Garden. they won last night 6-3, which marks the 15th straight time they have defeated Carolina at MSG. that's the longest streak against one opponent in Rangers history. all in all, it was a win i didn't want the Rangers to get, but i did enjoy the alcohol.

The Voice was pretty good last night.

Monday Night Raw was very good last night. i love the whole Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar program right now. throwing Vince into the mix was great. having Braun Strowman win the tag team battle royal by himself was an interesting twist. The Ultimate Deletion next week should be great. and i actually wouldn't mind if the Undertaker comes out as the other version of his gimmick he used in the past and destroyed John Cena. i really do like the direction Raw is going in for WrestleMania.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, Baskets, Hate Thy Neighbor and The Voice. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i will be at the First Four tonight to see two college basketball games. first up will be LIU Brooklyn vs. Radford. the second game will be Saint Bonaventure vs. UCLA. i'm really interested to see how mom does considering we probably won't be getting out of the arena until sometime around midnight. the games will be broadcast on TruTV in case you are interested.

Manchester United plays Sevilla today at home in the Champions League. this the second leg of their matchup. the winner advances to the quarterfinals. i'm really hoping United scores early and often and wins this match convincingly.

that's all for me today kids. i have to go eat lunch, shower, shave, and do the trash before i get ready to go to the basketball game. and all i really want to do is go take a fucking nap.

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

you take the good with the bad...

i'm the kind of asshole that always starts with the bad news.

i knew Manchester United was up against it today given injuries and a suspension. then, i saw who the fuck was the referee today. Michael Oliver. i told my mom right before the game started, i guarantee that fucker will fuck over United somehow. sure enough. he sent Ander Herrera off in the first half for his second yellow card. honestly, i don't think either foul should have been given a card. but, it was against Eden Hazard, so lord knows he had to be carded. of course, Chelsea scored in the second half against a 10 man United and won the game 1-0. so, that ends Manchester United's run as FA Cup champions. and now Herrera will get a 2 game suspension for the red card. makes me wish for the days when bad officiating had to fear for their lives. oh well.

so, now the good news.

the Dayton Flyers got a 7 seed for the NCAA tournament. i was completely fucking shocked. i was expecting maybe at best a 9 seed. of course, their reward for that 7 seed is playing against a Wichita State team that should be a 5 or 6 seed. Dayton is already a 6 point underdog for the game. at least it's being played in Indianapolis. there should be plenty of Dayton fans there. luckily, the game is at night, so i'll actually get to watch it. that Friday is the day i have to go with mom for the surgery class and all her pre-operation testing. oh joy.

the New York Rangers won at Detroit last night, 4-1. that was a good way to finish off the road trip. they are back at home tonight to face Tampa Bay.

i missed being in the top 4 of my fantasy hockey playoffs by a 1 1/2 games. talk about being fucking pissed. if i would have been in the other division, i would have won the division by almost 20 games. fuck.

Big Little Lies was excellent last night.

Girls was great once again.

Crashing was really funny last night.

Last Week Tonight was fucking brilliant once again.

Homeland was amazing last night. yet another holy shit ending.

Billions was pretty good last night.

Feud: Bette and Joan was fucking great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Cries from Syria. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening. and maybe some hockey.

i'll probably be on here early tomorrow as i'll be going (weather permitting) to the First Four games at UD Arena.

the grocery store was exactly as i expected yesterday. it was like the end of the world was approaching. i was amazed i was able to find what was on the fucking list.

the snow just started here. i don't think we're supposed to get much. i think the heavy shit will be for the Northeast. thank god.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i wasn't using that hour anyway

i made sure to set the clocks correctly before i went to bed last night. i figure it's not too big of a deal, that hour of sleep you supposedly lose i haven't used in 40 years of life.

i thought Saturday Night Live was pretty good last night. i did enjoy Ariana Grande getting the word shit by the censors.

WWE Roadblock was ok last night. the only thing that truly saved it from being a disappointment in my mind was the main event. Dean Ambrose vs. HHH was truly great. the false finishes and the excellent storytelling... you can tell this was a match between two guys that really love pro wrestling. the rest of the card had its moments, but plenty of fluff that was just pointless.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vinyl, Girls, Togetherness, Last Week Tonight, Shameless and Billions.

Manchester United faces West Ham today in the FA Cup. this is one of the last chances United will have to get a title this season. i really hope they play with some urgency today.

the New York Rangers play Pittsburgh today in a game they really need to win. if they want to have home ice in the first round of the playoffs, they have to win these games. i'll hopefully get to see some of it at my sister's house.

mom and i are going up to Columbus to see the Blue Jackets take on Tampa Bay. i have a few players in the game on my fantasy hockey team. this is the last day of the regular season in fantasy hockey. i'll be the 4th seed in the playoffs. i'm pretty sure i'll be facing the guy who is going to finish 20 games ahead of me, so i'm going to have my work cut out for me.

i really hope the Dayton Flyers get a good seed today when the selection committee announces the pairings. i've seen the "experts" have them anywhere from a 6 to an 8 seed. i also hope there will be some good teams come to Dayton for the First Four. i'm really going to be interested to see how mom does with these games coming up. if she doesn't do well, i can't imagine us having sports tickets much longer.

the thunderstorms are supposed to start here shortly, so i think this will be all for me today. my arthritis is raging at the moment. can't wait to make that drive to Columbus in the rain. good times.

my war with technology

so today was the day i was going to get my shit in gear and get the cds my cousin wanted done. and i did that, for the most part. i was downloading one song from iTunes and the internet feed went dead. that was fun. the song is downloaded yet i somehow can't play it. the shitty thing is i paid for it. not fun. and after spending a few hours to get all the songs downloaded, i started putting a cd together. i've got the perfect mix but it won't burn. i try a few different cds and still nothing. i go out and get new cds and still nothing. and then i try to burn less songs from iTunes and sure enough it worked. so, what was supposed to be 2 cds full of music became 3. 6 FUCKING hours of my day on all of this. thank god i'm getting money for this.

during this debacle today, i did get to see the Dayton Flyers advance in the A10 tournament. they started off on fire against Fordham and were up by 19 at halftime. and then of course, they tried to just sleepwalk through the second half and allowed the lead to get down to 5. thankfully, they woke the fuck up in time and won by 13, 87-74. that is now 10 wins in their last 11 games. they play the only team to beat them in that stretch tomorrow, St. Joe's. Dayton will have to play just about perfect to win as they just don't match up well against St. Joe's. i'd like to think Dayton is in the NCAA regardless of what happens tomorrow, but i get the feeling tomorrow is an elimination game. hopefully Dayton wins.

i'm typing this having just watched the New York Rangers lose 2-1 in Minnesota. sadly, 2 damn mistakes and they end up in the net. this team needs to find some fucking goals quickly. they can't expect to have all the teams around them lose all the time so they can back into the playoffs. they play tomorrow in Winnipeg. that will be a wild one.

i did enjoy The Big Bang Theory tonight. always a good show.

last night, i laughed my ass off at Legit. i didn't get to see much of Ali G as my shower and toilet time took way longer than i expected. i always love when dinner just doesn't sit right.

tomorrow, i'm hoping to get some sleep and maybe relax for a little bit. and maybe not have to deal with any computer shit. of course, i haven't checked my email in a few hours, so i probably have a ton to get to.

the weather got pretty damn cold here but the sun came out and really burned off most of the snow. looks like we are going to be in the yo yo here for awhile. a couple of days in the 50's and then right back into the 30's. rinse and repeat. just crazy enough to keep everyone sick.

i did see where the New Orleans Saints traded Darren Sproles to the Eagles. for the fantasy football guy in me, that should be fun. for the Saints fan in me, that will come back to haunt us.

that's all for me. i'm off to go check some email and then drink myself to sleep.

hope this finds everyone well. if not, i'm pretty sure you have yourself to blame.

peace bitches...

more damn country music than i have listened to in my life

"Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood." - William H. Macy

hello apathy, welcome aboard

first, a quick flashback to Monday Night Raw. you know you have been watching pro wrestling too long when you're watching the Undertaker make his slow ass walk to the ring for the Paul Bearer memorial and your first thought is this would be a great place for CM Punk to get some heel heat. and when Punk does come out you can't help but think you'd certainly work cheaper than the ass clowns that are writing this currently. i certainly laughed at all the hatred CM Punk got after Monday. i suppose some people still think it's real. or some people just can't give a guy props for doing a great job. people are supposed to hate him. i don't think there's a better heel around these days. as for the rest of the show, other than the great wrestling between Dolph Ziggler and Daniel Bryan, i couldn't help but thank god The Voice comes back soon so i'll have something to flip to when i get bored. and a quick note to the WWE, no matter how hard you try, i couldn't give a shit that The Rock and John Cena are facing each other again.

this weather is slowly driving me nuts. i managed to get home today before a white-out quick snowstorm hit. of course, 10 minutes later and the sun was out. maybe the warmer weather will come sometime. maybe not.

in the middle of doing my laundry, i did a little shopping at Amazon.com. i got my usual madness of music from a slew of genres. always nice when you can get 12 CD's and not pay anything for them.

i was really hoping The New York Rangers had turned the corner. but, after the boring ass defeat last night to Buffalo, i suppose that corner is still far away. i believe their coach summed up the night perfectly in his post game press conference.

i'll be watching the Dayton Flyers tomorrow against Butler. i don't think they have much of a chance. i wouldn't mind being wrong. the whole A10 tournament is pretty wide open. honestly, any of the 12 teams could win it and i wouldn't be completely shocked.

lastly, i did watch the new pope get elected today. i'm not a catholic but i do have a great appreciation for history. it was nice to see a bit of history made today. of course, i suppose time will tell if it actually means anything or not.

i will now go back to folding clothes and wondering if the temps will get above 40 anytime soon.
