i think we got around 3 to 4 inches of snow last night. not nearly the amount that some were saying. now, it might rain a little later and then go back to snow, so that's going to be sloppy as fuck if that happens.
Manchester United and Arsenal played a 0-0 draw yesterday. that's 5 points dropped in United's last 2 games. that's how you find a way to lose a championship.
the Dayton Flyers defeated Rhode Island yesterday, 67-56. Dayton was trailing at halftime by 3 points and started the second half on fire. what impressed me the most yesterday was Dayton's defense. they held Rhode Island scoreless for the first 12 minutes of the second half i think.
the New York Rangers lost in OT last night against Pittsburgh, 5-4. that's 5 fucking games in a row the Rangers have blown a 3rd period lead. i guess Tony DeAngleo and Alexandear Georgiev got into after the game. from what i have heard, Tony called him a commie and AG punched in the face. this morning, the Rangers put Tony on waivers and i am more than fucking happy his time with the Rangers is hopefully over forever now.
WWE Backstage was really good last night.
ROH was good last night.
Saturday Night Live was fucking hilarious last night.
Austin City Limits had the best of Spoon on last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Axios, The Lady and the Dale, Shameless, Your Honor, Batwoman and Desus & Mero. i'll be watching WWE Royal Rumble for most of the evening on WWE Network.
i was up pretty late last night getting some baseball cards together for another sale. i currently have a deal going on for 100 cards of your favorite team for $30. the cards are some rookies, some insert cards, maybe even some hall of famers, etc. i don't think i have the cards to offer this in football, hockey or basketball. but, i do know i can do that in baseball cards. so, if that is something that interests you, feel free to send me an email and we can talk about.
the USMNT takes on Trinidad & Tobago tonight in a soccer friendly.
hard to believe this is the last day of January.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday will be even better.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
until then kids...

it was somewhere around 20 degrees when i went out to get the paper and feed the birds this morning. i figured i better get some food out there before it snows.
Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night. i can't wait for the Royal Rumble this weekend.
Real Time with Bill Maher last night was excellent.
Painting with John was hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be WWE Backstage, ROH, Austin City Limits and Saturday Night Live.
Manchester United plays Arsenal today. given that United lost their last game, this pretty much becomes a MUST WIN game if they want to truly have a shot at the Premier League title this season.
the Dayton Flyers play today at home against Rhode Island. hopefully, they will keep up the momentum from their victory at Saint Louis.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Pittsburgh. hopefully, they can win a second game in a row tonight.
hopefully, i'll have 3 victory drinks tonight.
i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. if we do get all the snow they are predicting, i'll be on here sometime after i get the chili on.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
the "experts" are saying we are supposed to get anywhere from 4 to 8 inches of snow this weekend. that would be way more than we have had for all of winter so far. i asked my mother if she needed anything today as i was going to get it today rather than try this weekend. she said no, so i guess it is time to get ready to see if these motherfuckers are actually going to be correct.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
the season finale of Total Bellas was good last night.
NXT UK was very good last night.
The Unicorn was hilarious last night.
Cari & Jemele Won't Stick to Sports was very good last night.
the New York Rangers won in OT last night over Buffalo, 3-2. Alexis scored his first NHL goal for the game winner last night. i'm really hoping that opens the flood gates for the kid.
i put my football cards into a better order last night. speaking of cards, i got lucky today and was able to order a 2020 Donruss Optic blaster box on the Panini website. it is becoming increasingly difficult around here to find really anything other than junk wax these days.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Real Time with Bill Maher and Panting with John. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i will hopefully be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays.
if not before then, it will be after the Dayton Flyers game tomorrow.
i think the snow is supposed to start tomorrow night and into Sunday morning. if that does happen, i'll try to get some pictures of the snow.
i suppose i should try to put some bird food out before the snow really gets going.
that's all for me kids. today was one of those days where the bad back decided to only play along after a nice long session of ice in my massage chair.
sometimes my back gets bad enough that i'll sit down in my massage chair, lean back, and just drift away. one of these days, i'm hoping that is how i die. today, it was how i took a long ass nap this afternoon. i must have slept for 2 hours or so. of course, when you only sleep 4 hours a night, it is bound to happen.
NXT was really good last night.
AEW was really good last night as well.
The Masked Dancer was good last night.
Name That Tune was good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Unicorn, Total Bellas and Cari & Jemele Won't Stick to Sports. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.
the New York Rangers play tonight at Buffalo. i'd love to see them actually play 60 minutes and win for a fucking change.
the mail was actually delivered this morning around 10 AM. i was shocked. then, i saw it was starting to snow and i realized why it was being worked so early. they are already so fucking far behind as it is.
f.y.i. if you happen to call me on my cell phone, please leave a fucking message. i'm blocking anyone who doesn't leave one as most of the damn calls i get are spam.
also, if you want my cell number, just ask.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
mom is starting to feel slightly better. i don't think it's Covid related, knock on fucking wood.
my day was actually going pretty good. i found plenty of baseball cards today (more on that in a bit), got all the grocery shopping done in time to get home to see Manchester United play. and then everything went to shit.
let's get this shit out of the way. Manchester United was playing the worst team in the Premier League today, knowing they needed a victory to go back into first place. so, of course, they play down to their competition and fucking lost, 2-1. kill me now.
i picked up a box of 2020 Topps Heritage High Numbers today at Meijer. got some new sheets for the cards while i was there as well. the Rite-Aid where i live had no cards at all. so, i went to the Rite-Aid where the grocery store i use is at and holy fuck, i got 2 Fairfield boxes of baseball cards and 1 Fairfield box of football cards. now, both of the baseball card boxes had relics in them. the football box had some really good cards in it. and the Topps Heritage box had some really good rookie cards in it and one short print. so, all in all, i think i got my money's worth today.
the New York Rangers lost last night to Buffalo, 3-2. i'm hoping one of these nights they actually just stop thinking and start playing and let their talent come through.
the Dayton Flyers lead from start to finish yesterday against Saint Louis. they won 76-71. it was Dayton's first win against a ranked opponent since 2015.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Masked Dancer, Name That Tune, NXT and AEW.
amazingly, they got the trash and recycling picked up before 11 AM this morning. they never have that done that early. i was pleasantly shocked.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm guessing it will be before the Rangers play tomorrow night.
i'm pretty happy with what the Yankees have done this offseason. if the new pitchers actually have something left in the tank, i think they will definitely have a chance to win it all this season, while being below the salary cap.
that's all for me kids. i have a dinner to go help make.
mom wasn't feeling well today, so she cancelled her appointment for her injection into her back. so, that opened up my day completely and of course, depression said you aren't going to do shit today. now, much to his surprise, i did write and type up 5 poems. so, i did get something accomplished today.
i had to go into town to the post office today as i had some bills that i needed to mail. any other fucking day, the mail is never here before noon. and of course, the day i had to write some checks, it was here a little after 11 AM. fuck me.
thankfully, it did warm up some today and melt all the ice. joy.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight.
the New York Rangers play tonight in Buffalo. the injury bug has hit the team, so i'm interested to see what the new lines are going to look like tonight. hopefully, they can get a fucking win.
the Dayton Flyers play tonight at Saint Louis. it is their first game in over a month. so, i'm hoping Saint Louis is rusty as hell and Dayton feels like making a statement tonight considering the ass whipping they took at VCU. and considering Saint Louis is ranked in the top 25, it is one of the few chances Dayton has left this season to get a signature victory.
thanks for everyone that checked out my latest published poem:
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.
i did watch most of both NFL games yesterday. as a Saints fan, i truly hope the Chiefs beat Tampa Bay to death in the Super Bowl.
Shameless was very good last night.
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...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.

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.
Austin City Limits last night was great. Ray Wylie Hubbard was perfect for the evening.
ROH was very good last night.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Pittsburgh. hopefully, they can get a win tonight.
i will probably watch some of the NFL games today. the Chiefs play the Bills and Green Bay takes on Tampa Bay.
Manchester United plays Liverpool today in the FA Cup. i hope that United wins and knocks Liverpool out of this.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday will be even better.
so, i woke up to the new that Larry King was dead. i know it always seems like famous people dies in 3's, but it is getting ridiculous these days.
Smackdown and 205 Live were both really good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was great last night.
Painting with John was brilliant last night.
the New York Rangers pissed away a 2 goal lead last night and lost in the shootout to Pittsburgh, 4-3. the two teams play each other again on Sunday night.
my sister really shocked me last night. she got me a ton of gifts for my birthday. she went back through my Amazon.com wish list and selected one thing from every year i have been doing that. so, now in any free time i might actually have, i'll be doing some reading.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Austin City Limits and ROH.

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.
AEW was pretty good last night as well.
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.
and thanks to everyone for checking out my latest SoundCloud recording:
my poem "persona non grata", recently published at The Rye Whiskey Review, is my latest SoundCloud recording. you can listen to the poem by going here:
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.
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.
i did get some baseball cards today before i did all the grocery shopping. i bought a couple Fairfield boxes at the local Rite-Aid. i spent less than $10 on them. i did get a numbered hit in one of the boxes. all in all, i probably got close to $25 worth of cards. that put a smile on my face.
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.
enjoy some music:
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.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.

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.
i did watch some of the USWNT against Colombia last night. the USA won 4-0.
