and then the snow turns to ice...
when it gets really icy out here, my lazy ass just drives the Highlander down the driveway to get the mail or paper. i have no desire to walk in this shit and slip and fall. my back is bad enough already.
Manchester United defeated Liverpool yesterday 3-2 in the FA Cup. that made me very happy.
the New York Rangers pissed away two different leads last night and lost to the Penguins, 3-2. the kids are playing pretty good. the vets aren't doing much at all, in my opinion. i think the whole damn team tries to pass too much. time for the K.I.S.S. theory to be executed i suppose.
Batwoman was excellent last night.
Euphoria was really, really good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
i did listen to episode 327 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:
i have to take mom to get her injection for her back at noon tomorrow. i'm really hoping the roads are at the very least cleaned off and the fucking parking lot isn't a skating rink. i told mom with me having a phone now, she can text me and i can pick her up at the door. that makes it much easier, especially in the winter.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
i'm hoping to maybe getting some poems written tonight. i've been messing around the last few days with haikus. hopefully, i turn that into something.
until tomorrow kids...

the snow is coming down...
it started to snow this morning while we were eating breakfast. i made sausage gravy and biscuits.
the Dayton Flyers lost yesterday at VCU, 66-43. it was Dayton's worst loss in 3 years. honestly, i didn't watch more than the first 5 minutes of the game and then changed the channel in disgust.

the day after i suppose...
i had a woman last night offer me a blowjob for $100. i wasn't sure if she knew it was my birthday, but what a time to be poor. i guess this is what happens when you have a cellphone now.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
Young Sheldon was very funny last night.
B Positive was hilarious last night.
The Unicorn reminded me why i don't really date anymore.
Total Bellas was good last night.

i went out today and found some baseball cards at Big Lots. i had a 15% off coupon they sent for my birthday. i got 2 packs of 2020 Topps Heritage, 1 pack of 2020 Score Football cards, 2 packs of 2019 Topps Series 1 and 2 packs of 2019 Topps Opening Day. with the coupon, the packs were less than $30. i probably got close to $35 worth of cards in the packs, so that made me happy. after Big Lots, i went to Meijer. they didn't have any cards at all, but i did find what my mother wanted me to find, plus the coffee she likes was on sale and i found 2 new spatulas that we really needed. after that, i went to Kroger to pick up mom's pills. i always love eating lunch around 5 PM.
my mother got me some really colorful underwear, a cool t-shirt and The White Stripes Greatest Hits for my birthday. my sister should be here in a half hour or so. i have no clue what she has gotten me.
i will most likely be on here before Dayton plays at VCU tomorrow.
the New York Rangers play their first road game tonight at Pittsburgh. i really hope i'll be doing some drinking tonight.
that's all for me kids. until tomorrow...

happy birthday to me...
so, i turned 45 today. my sister called this morning to wish me a happy birthday and to remind me i'm old. that made me laugh as she is only 18 months younger than i am.
i took mom to her foot doctor today. we got there early and it went pretty fast. he's retiring soon, so she has to go to a new one before too long. after that, we decided to try out this BBQ place on the way home. it had been years since we had been there. they have a drive-thru now, so we decided to do that. i had the brisket sandwich and my mother got some smoked wings. i have to say, Company 7 BBQ has some really fucking good food.
NXT was really good last night.
The Masked Dancer was good last night.
Name That Tune was excellent last night. i think i shocked my mother at how fast i recognized some of the songs.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Young Sheldon, B Positive, The Unicorn, Total Bellas and Cari & Jemele Won't Stick to Sports. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i did watch a good portion of Liverpool losing today. that me really fucking happy.
i figure if i get bored tonight, i'll flip over to some hockey and/or NBA basketball.
i should be on here tomorrow before my sister comes down for the weekend.
thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. i really appreciate it.

one of those days where i'm a little all over the place...
i found out last night that Gerald Locklin had died over the weekend. he was one of the poets i always admired, ever since i got into this racket in the 90's. i have a few of his books and we had chatted a couple of times over the years. he was my living link to Charles Bukowski in a sense. rest easy old friend, you will be missed and never forgotten.
https://www.presstelegram.com/2021/01/18/gerald-locklin-csulb-teacher-writer-poet-dies-at-79/
my grandmother would have been 109 today. i think she would have enjoyed the inauguration. i did watch some of it, mostly because i wanted to hear Amanda Gorman's poem. she didn't disappoint.
the grocery shopping went pretty good today. i'm fucking tired of seeing these assholes with no masks on in the stores. especially this fucking woman today with an infant with her. and i'm the asshole because i hope they catch this shit and die.
the New York Rangers lost last night to the Devils, 4-3. the Rangers had 50 shots on goal. so, it was one of those games where the goalie stole it.
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NXT, AEW, The Masked Dancer and Name That Tune.
the Dayton Flyers were supposed to play tonight but their game against George Washington got postponed because GW's coach has COVID. i'm really fucking hoping that Dayton's coach doesn't get it since their last game was against GW.
i did get home in time to watch the Manchester United game against Fulham today. United did what they always do on the road. give up the first goal and then find a way to win. goals from Cavani and Pogba and United won 2-1.
i turn 45 tomorrow. i have no clue what will be in store for me tomorrow. i know i need to get my driver's license renewed, but that's going to wait until it gets a little warmer. i have until July to get it done. i know i have to take mom to her foot doctor tomorrow. i have no clue if we're going out to eat after that or not. i know i'll be on here sometime in the afternoon most likely.
the day today started off with some snow. it actually felt like winter for a few hours.

well, my eyes haven't gotten any worse...
the trip to the eye doctor went fine today. they have this new black woman working there. holy shit, she's fine as hell. i thought they had all the safety protocols down pretty good. thankfully, i wasn't there long. the health of my eyes are good. the changes in my vision weren't enough to get new glasses, which was fine with me. i only had to pay $15 for the eye exam. i stopped by Rite-Aid on the way home hoping to find some baseball cards. no luck.
Monday Night Raw was crazy last night.

why does misery feel so fucking familiar?...
i knew there was always a chance that my old friend misery would come to meet me last night. sure enough, misery rested her head on my shoulder and started to laugh. good times.
the New Orleans Saints lost last night, 30-20. just too many fucking turnovers, which Tampa turned into touchdowns. i fully believe that was Drew Brees last game with the Saints. that made me pretty fucking emotional, as i remember all the fucking losing before he got there. but, that's 4 years in a row where i thought they really had a chance to make a run to another Super Bowl. oh well.
Shameless was excellent last night.
Your Honor was crazy fucking good last night.

with a little snow falling down...
today is one of those days where i could end up madder than hell or walking on the fucking clouds by the end of it.
the Dayton Flyers play George Washington today on a neutral court. they moved the game from Washington D.C. (for fairly obvious reasons) to the campus of George Mason. hopefully, Dayton can keep on winning.
the snow started to fall this morning a little bit after i woke up. i just got the Sunday paper and it's not really sticking too bad. i know the "experts" said we could get 2 to 4 inches of snow today.
the New York Rangers tweaked their lineup a bit last night and it worked. their effort was about 1000% better than their first game. the Rangers won last night, 5-0.
ROH was really good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Batwoman, Shameless and Your Honor.
Manchester United plays in a little bit against Liverpool. i won't be able to watch the match since i don't have Peacock, so i'll follow it on my phone. i really hope United finds a way to win today.
the New Orleans Saints play this evening at home against Tampa Bay. they will be looking to beat Tom Brady for the 3rd time this year. if they win, they will travel to Green Bay for the NFC Championship game next week.
with tomorrow being a holiday, i will probably be on here early tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday is even better.

showers at 2 in the morning...
i took a shower last night at two in the morning. i really needed one, and i was hoping i could get the water warm enough to dull the ache in my bones last night. thankfully, i did get it warm enough that i did feel a little less pain. of course, i didn't get to sleep until almost 5 and i was up this morning at 8:45. good times.
Smackdown and 205 Live were both really good last night.
on the DVR tonight will be ROH.
i will probably watch most of both NFL playoff games today. first game is the Rams vs. Packers and then the Ravens vs. Bills. hopefully, both games will be good.
i'm sure i'll watch some college basketball today and maybe even get some more damn sleep.
i will hopefully be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays at Liverpool.

snowing in the sunshine...
the sun was out for a little bit today. right as i pulled into the bank today, it started to snow. by the time i got home from picking up some lunch for mom, it was snowing sideways. none of it really stuck, but i was happy not to be driving in it.
NXT UK was really good last night.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
the New York Rangers lost to the Islanders last night 4-0. honestly, the boys took way too fucking many penalties. add in the nerves from the kids and a few shots a goalie has to save, and you have one fucking night to forget. the two teams play again on Saturday.
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

one of those days...
today was one of those days where i have had to make 4 hours of sleep work for me and just my luck... the adrenaline is starting to fade right before the hockey games come on tonight. good times.
i had to go pick up pills for my mother this afternoon. i always love dropping over $500 on her medicine. earlier today, i had to go to her bank to deposit her check from the government. after i did that, i went to the Rite-Aid right across the street from the bank. i had never been in this one. luckily, they did have a couple boxes of baseball cards there. i spent less than $10 on the cards and there was close to $25 worth of cards in them. that made me happy, especially the blue rainbow foil Zach Britton card i got that is worth around $12.
the Dayton Flyers were trailing last night at halftime against a Duquesne team that totally fucking sucks. thankfully, Dayton started the second half on fire and pulled away to win the game, 72-63.
Name That Tune was good last night. i think i probably guessed close to 90% of the songs correctly.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Total Bellas and Cari & Jemele Won't Stick to Sports. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.
