so, i didn't get all the grocery shopping done until almost 5 PM today. now, i ate breakfast around 8:30 this morning and didn't have lunch before i left to do the shopping. when i finally got home, i was dragging and barely had enough energy to get the shit into the house. joy.
mom wanted stuff for Easter, like placemats and a wreath, flowers... a bunch of shit i couldn't care about. but, i want to stay in the will, so i ran around town all afternoon finding shit. of course, i did get some stuff along the way for myself. i'm always a sucker for a new Batman toy that i don't have already. plus, i have baseball cards on the way, so i needed more pages and a new binder. i got that at Meijer. i got the flowers at Kroger. all in all, i did get everything on the list. thank god i have plenty of liquor already here.
when the New York Rangers fell behind 2-0 last night, i was not happy. when they won the game 5-2 over Washington, i was very happy. they are the only team in the division that has done anything to Washington this season. plus, i love how the kids get under the skin of the Capitals. i fucking love that.
i did watch some of the college basketball games last night. my Gonzaga pick is looking better and better now.
Young Rock was good last night.
Kenan was pretty funny last night.
Dark Side of the Ring: Confidential was about Bruiser Brody last night.
Mayans M.C. was excellent last night.

so, Rite Aid called last night and asked if mom and i had any problem with getting our vaccine shots at 1 this afternoon instead of this evening. we said that was fine and i got us there at 12:55 this afternoon. we both got the Moderna vaccine shot. i felt no pain and had zero side effects from it. we both get the second shot in late April. mom wanted to do some shopping in the store after we got the shots. i think we got everything she was looking for.
The Voice was pretty good last night. i didn't lose anyone from my team.
Monday Night Raw was good, for the most part last night. there were plenty of parts i should have slept through.
i did watch a little of the college basketball games last night. i'll do the same tonight probably.

so, yesterday was one of those days where all it took was just one loss and it fucked up the whole damn day.
the New York Rangers lost to Washington, 5-4. i figured that was going to happen. hell, i'm just hapy they showed some life after getting down 3-0.
the USMNT defeated Northern Ireland, 2-1 yesterday. that was the USA's first win on European soil in years. that made me happy.
the USMNT Under 23's lost to Honduras, 2-1 yesterday. that means they will miss the Olympics yet again. i think i am still pissed at this loss.
the Yankees lost yesterday to the Phillies, 6-2. they lost to the Tigers today, 5-2. thank god, that is the last spring training game. Thursday will be Opening Day, weather permitting of course.
i did watch some of the college basketball games yesterday...
VICE was excellent last night.
Batwoman was really good last night.
the finale of The Luminaries was good last night.
Shameless was great last night. only two more episodes remain.
City on a Hill was really good last night. this looks like it is going to be another great season of the show.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Monday Night Raw and The Voice.
i did listen to episode 336 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:
i did take mom to her appointment today with her foot doctor. i think this will be the last time she will see him since he's retiring. i have no clue who mom is going to use next. there aren't very many anywhere near us. we had to wait as we got there early and they were having lunch. i believe one of the drug reps brought in some food.
nearly saw a wreck on the way home on the freeway. nothing good comes from big trucks and elderly drivers. thankfully, there were no cops around.
i believe i may have a new muse. i haven't been happy with my poems here lately. i came across this one woman on MeWe that is striking as hell. i started chatting her up and asked if i could write about her. she said yes and my imagination got wet. so, i wrote the first of what will be many poems (hopefully) this morning.
so, tomorrow around this time i will be getting my first vaccine shot. i am looking forward to it.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
until tomorrow kids...

Austin City Limits was the St. Vincent episode from a couple years ago that i deleted.
ROH was really good last night.

the New York Rangers play today at Washington. i'd love to see the Rangers make up for that loss yesterday against the Flyers. they made a trade after the game yesterday, sending Brenden Lemieux to the Kings for a 4th round pick.
the Yankees play the Phillies today.
the USMNT takes on Northern Ireland today.
the USMNT Under 23's take on Honduras tonight. if the USA wins, they will qualify for the Olympics for the first time in a long time.
i'm sure i will squeeze in some college basketball today as well. here are some highlights from yesterday:
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i know i need to take mom to her appointment with her foot doctor. that is in the early afternoon.

so, everything i wanted to get done this morning had to be shifted to the afternoon as my back decided it wanted all the attention this morning. but, i finally got my shower done, shaved a little and have my first load of laundry going.
Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty funny last night.
so, i was hoping to get the blog done before the Rangers and Yankees were playing this afternoon. of course, that didn't happen...
the New York Rangers pissed away chance after chance today and lost to Philadelphia, 2-1. they play tomorrow at noon at Washington.
the Yankees defeated the Blue Jays today, 5-1. more importantly, Luke Voit has a partial tear of his meniscus, so he's going to be out until June or so. that means Jay Bruce has made the team.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Tina, Saturday Night Live, Austin City Limits and ROH.
i'm sure i will watch some college basketball tonight while folding clothes.
i did write 2 poems last night. first poems i have written in 17 days. i really like both of them. i'm hoping i'll have some more to write soon.
i know that the Rangers and the USMNT both play at noon tomorrow. so, i will hopefully have the blog done before the games start.
the weather is nice enough today that i was able to turn the furnace off and open the house up a bit. of course, it's a full moon tonight and another line of storms coming. oh joy.
there are some days where all i can do is simply strap in and know i'm going to be riding the waves of pain all day long. doesn't matter the amount of stretching i do or how often i ice my back, the pain never leaves. like a stubborn drunk, it settles in for the night...
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
NXT UK was very good last night.
Cake was awesome last night.
Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.
the Yankees lost to the Phillies last night, 13-12. they play the Orioles tonight.
enjoy some music:
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 Peacock.
the New York Rangers whipped Philadelphia once again last night, 8-3.
so, like you can imagine, i have more or less done absolutely nothing today. mom said i more or less just gave up while i was trying to stretch in bed and my body just turned off. this is the joy of when no pain pills can touch the pain and we live in a society that would rather keep all the good shit for themselves.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm hoping it will be in the morning, which means my back feels much better than it does now.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.

the elephant on my back isn't as large today as it was yesterday. between all the ice, i think at least some of the pain has gone away. i haven't slept worth a shit, so there's always that.
NXT was really good last night.
AEW was really good last night as well.
The Masked Singer was fucking crazy once again last night.
Snowfall was fucking great last night.

the USMNT Under 23's lost to Mexico last night, 1-0.
the USMNT defeated Jamaica today, 4-1. hopefully, that is a sign of good things to come this year for them.
the Yankees play the Phillies tonight. i can't believe the baseball season starts in a few days.
it is supposed to storm here tonight. it has rained for a good portion of today. my arthritis certainly isn't helping my back any. the winds are supposed to cause power outages tonight. that sounds like fun.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i need to go ice my back down again.

to illustrate how bad my back is, picture throwing your back out while wiping your ass. good times. now, picture doing this while you are trying to get ready to take your mother to an appointment at 8 in the morning.
today has been pure fucking torture for me. i have done everything i needed to today; grocery shopping, picking up empty trash cans, etc... i just have done it at the pace of someone twice my age. i'm not sure if ice and plenty of alcohol is going to do the trick tonight. might be time to find some heroin...
mom's appointment went fine. they want her to take a sleep test, mostly because that's something else they can charge to Medicare. mom is leaning against it, mostly because she is doing fine with the oxygen she's on at night and actually is sleeping better now. the nurse practitioner that saw her was this thick blonde that had a tattoo on her left foot. there will be poems.
it was warm enough today that most of the women out and about were wearing something tight. i felt like a character in a Leonard Cohen song.
Young Rock was good last night.
Kenan was pretty funny last night.
Dark Side of the Ring: Confidential was about the Von Erich's last night.
Mayans M.C. was excellent last night, especially the ending.

the USMNT Under 23's play Mexico tonight. it is the last game of group play. they are playing for seeding tonight and to see who wins the group. i would love to see the USA pull off a shocker tonight.
the Yankees lost to the Blue Jays today, 5-0.
i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow. all i am really looking forward to is spending the night icing down my back, finding the pleasure in the pain.
until tomorrow kids...
oh yeah, we're supposed have some HOLY SHIT storm roll through here the next couple of days. a bad back and arthritis. this is what i get for not killing myself at the age of 8.

as i was falling asleep last night, i realized i forgot to call in my medications to the pharmacy. so, first thing i did this morning after i took my blood sugar (which always seems to be lower a morning after i drink any whiskey over 100 proof), i called in my medications. and for shits and giggles, i got on the Rite Aid website to see if i could schedule getting a vaccine shot. and holy shit, they actually had appointments available in town next week. so, i made mine and told mom to go make hers. so, we both get our first shot next Tuesday evening.
The Voice was good last night. it was the last night of the blind auditions. now, the battle rounds start.
the series finale of Beartown was excellent last night.
Monday Night Raw was a little up and down for me last night. at least the up parts were really, really good.
the New York Rangers defeated Buffalo last night, 5-3.
the Yankees lost to the Phillies last night, 4-0. today, they are playing the Tigers. it's currently 5-5 in the bottom of the 9th.

mom scared the shit out of me last night. it was around 2 in the morning and she called for me while in bed and asked me to go get the stuff to check her blood pressure. it was high, all 3 times we took it. she took some Tylenol and then went to sleep. i'm hoping they get her on the pills she needs to be on to get her blood pressure down soon. the way she describes the way her heart feels, i'm not liking what it coming down the road without some new pills soon.
i have to take her to an appointment tomorrow at 8 in the morning. that should be a fresh slice of hell, since neither of us are morning people. but, i hope that will be the last one she needs to see to get on the new medications.
the Yankees and Tigers finished at 5-5.
i need to go pick up the trash here and next door, so that's all for me kids.
so, Manchester United pissed me off so much yesterday (more on that in a bit) that i decided i just had to get out of the fucking house. i knew mom's pills were ready at Kroger, so i just took the grocery list with me. before i went to Kroger, i decided to go to the Rite-Aid near Kroger to see if they had any baseball cards. well, holy shit. i found two jumbo packs of 2021 Topps Series 1 and a Fairfield box of cards. all told, $14. i'm pretty sure i got more than that out of the 2021 packs by a mile. and today, my packs from Repacked Wax arrived. 5 packs of football cards and 5 packs of baseball cards. i paid a little over $40 for these and since there was a damn near perfect Bo Jackson rookie card in the football packs, i probably got over $110 worth of cards out of the 10 packs. that works for me.
so, Manchester United got knocked out of the FA Cup yesterday, losing 3-1 to Leicester. i didn't like the way Ole set up the team to begin with and why he didn't take off Fred as soon as possible blows my fucking mind. basically, all the team has now is the Europa League. i'm sure they will find a way to fuck that up along the way.
WWE Fastlane last night started off really slow. but, by the end of the night i was buzzing. Daniel Bryan once again showed why he is one of the best pro wrestlers EVER and i have no doubt that the main event of WrestleMania is now going to be a triple threat. plus, The Fiend came back from the dead. it was fucking bizarre and crazy and i'm all for it.
VICE was really good last night.
Last Week Tonight was brilliant as always.
Shameless was very funny last night. just 3 episodes left...
Desus & Mero was hilarious last night.
Batwoman was excellent last night.
as for the NCAA tournament, i had Illinois in the final, so once they lost yesterday, i can't give two shits anymore. i have Gonzaga winning it all. i get the feeling that it is going to be nothing but chaos for the rest of the games.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Monday Night Raw, the finale of Beartown and The Voice.
i did listen to episode 335 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can listen to that by going here:
my sister did come down for a little while today. she went to the funeral of our aunt. she said it was just a quick little service with just family around.
the USMNT under 23's won yesterday over the Dominican Republic, 4-0. that qualifies them to move on in the Olympic qualifying.
the Yankees won yesterday over the Blue Jays, 8-3. they play the Phillies tonight.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Buffalo. hopefully, they don't have a letdown game against a team that truly fucking stinks.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
i need to go take a damn shower before i make dinner tonight.
so, i had Texas in my Final Four this year. silly me. i did get some of my upsets correct, but when you lose a Final Four team this early, you have no chance to win any bracket challenge, etc.
anytime the Dayton Flyers took the lead against Memphis yesterday in the second half of their NIT game, they would immediately shit the bed. that is a recipe on how to fucking lose. Dayton lost, 71-60. i think Memphis finished the game on a 15-2 run. thank god this season is now over.
ROH was really good last night.
the New York Rangers won last night at Washington, 3-1.
the Yankees lost last night to the Orioles, 2-1. they play the Blue Jays today.

Manchester United plays Leicester today in the FA Cup. if they win, they advance to the semi-finals.
the USMNT under 23's play the Dominican Republic today in Olympic qualifying. the USA should win tonight. hopefully, they do.
i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. i know at some point, i have to go pick up pills for my mother. and my order from Repacked Wax should arrive as well on Monday.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday will be even better.

so, Ohio State fucked up my bracket yesterday. thank god i didn't have them in the Final Four.
Smackdown was really good last night. i'm looking forward to Fastlane on Sunday.
205 Live wasn't on Peacock last night. thankfully, my WWE Network subscription doesn't run out for another week. i watched it there. it was good once again.
Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.
the New York Rangers played really good last night for 55 minutes. you can imagine what happened in the last 5 of the game. Washington won, 2-1. or i should say, Alex Ovechkin 2, Rangers 1. the teams play again tonight. hopefully, there will be a different outcome.
the Yankees lost 4-1 last night to the Phillies. they play the Orioles tonight.
enjoy some music:

the Dayton Flyers play in the NIT at noon against Memphis. Dayton is a 4 1/2 point underdog. they will have to play great today to win. i'm not counting on it.
i'm sure i will watch plenty of the NCAA tournament today.
i will hopefully be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the FA Cup.
i had to run out to Rite-Aid yesterday to get something for my mother. amazingly, they had two Fairfield boxes of baseball cards there. i got both for $8. there was close to $70 worth of cards in them. that was a great find.
and i got the email last night that my order from Repacked Wax is on the way. so, i should have 5 packs of baseball cards and 5 packs of football cards here soon.
i hope everyone has a great Sunday. hope the weather is good enough in your neck of the woods on the first day of Spring.
