the last day of 2021

 so, i woke up this morning with a poem on my lips. i had the first line or so come to me in a dream i guess. i did get it written and typed up this morning. i figure it is the last poem i will write this year. i know i didn't get what i wanted to get done in 2021 done, mostly because i wasn't expecting my mother to nearly die and i would have to take up so much of my time to take care of her. but, i do think i did a decent job of juggling everything and getting something out there in the poetic world. i think that will become my new normal, at least for the time being.

i did watch plenty of college football last night. i will do the same today as well. the college football playoff semifinals are today. i'm hoping the games will be good.

NXT UK was another best of last night.

here are your NBA highlights from last night.

the grocery shopping yesterday was crazy. it took forever, but i did get everything on the list.

i did get some football cards at Rite Aid yesterday. 2 boxes that costed me $10. thanks to a gold Trevor Lawrence card that goes for $18, there was about $40 worth of cards between the boxes. that's a good way to end 2021.

i was home in time to watch the Manchester United game against Burnley. United won 3-1.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Rampage and Chillin Island. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on Peacock.

i'll probably be flipping between CNN and NBC around midnight or so.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Tampa Bay. i'd love to see the Rangers win tonight.

it has been really dreary this morning. the sun is trying to shine now, but struggling at best.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. 

i hope everyone has a great New Year's Eve. be safe if you are going out to party. be careful if your dumb ass is trying to drive home drunk. but most of all, have fun.

until tomorrow kids...

up before the sun, again...

 i swear, i can't get more than 4 1/2 hours of sleep at one time, unless i am chemically induced. and i doubt i will get my nap in today, given i have to do the rest of the shopping. joy.

AEW Dynamite was really good last night.

Hard Knocks was excellent last night.

here are your highlights from the NBA last night:

the New York Rangers pissed away a 3rd period lead and lost at Florida last night, 4-3.

the baseball cards i got yesterday were ok, at best. a few hall of famers (Tony Gwynn and Andre Dawson) but not much else.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight. i will probably watch NXT UK sometime tonight on Peacock.

Manchester United plays at home this afternoon against Burnley. hopefully, United will find a way to win today.

i will hopefully have all the grocery shopping done before the United game begins.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. hard to believe that tomorrow is the last day of 2021.

nothing is urgent when it comes to urgent care

 so, here's the story. i cut my finger last night and it bled like a motherfucker. i put some Neosporin on it and got the wrap as tight as possible. i waited for mom to wake up this morning to take the wrap off. sure enough, the fucker was still bleeding. so, i said fuck it, let me go to urgent care. the closest one to me is near where i get my hair cut. the waiting room was packed. of course, everyone was getting a COVID test. i put my name on the list and waited, all the while holding my bleeding finger up. mind you, it was my middle finger i cut. after 1 hour, i finally got called up to fill out paperwork and then bring up my ID and insurance card. 30 minutes later, i was getting my cards back. the lady at the desk then called me up 10 minutes later to ask if i did this at home or on the job. i told her at home. she was thrilled, as that meant no worker's comp papers. 15 minutes later, i got called to come on back. the doctor came in and said since it was past 8 hours, he couldn't stitch me up. but, he could cauterize it. i told him i had a high pain tolerance. he didn't believe me. now, i could feel the procedure going on, but i never flinched or moved. he was sort of impressed. i then got a Tetanus shot. my last one expired about 2 weeks ago. just my luck. the woman that gave me the shot reminded me of this girl i went to high school with. we used to joke all the time about getting married one day. sadly, that never happened. so, i happened to forget to take my phone with me this morning. so i got back home to 7 texts from my mother and sister wondering what was going on. mom never realized the phone was by my massage chair. i ate a little lunch and went to the local grocery store. i figure i will do the bigger stores tomorrow. (i wanted to do them tonight, but i think mom would have been beyond pissed off.) 

so, i basically have this black spot now on my middle finger. all i'm hoping is it leaves a really good scar.

NXT was really good last night. i can't wait for next week's show.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and Hard Knocks.

so, i was really looking forward to the World Juniors tonight. sadly, because of COVID, the whole tournament just got cancelled. oh well.

the New York Rangers finally play again tonight, at Florida. i'm hoping the Rangers find a way to win.

i will probably do the blog early tomorrow as i know Manchester United plays in the afternoon and i have no clue if i will get all the grocery shopping done before that match happens.

i did get some baseball cards today at Rite Aid. so i'll be opening those up in a bit.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

not a good day for sports...

 so, let me go back to the Manchester United game. sure, it was their first game in 16 days. but all i heard was about how hard they were training, etc. etc. well, you couldn't tell by the way they played. 90 minutes of absolute shit. amazingly, Cavani got a goal back for them for the 1-1 draw. but it only stayed that way because of the amazing saves of David De Gea. he is back to being the best in the world again.

the New Orleans Saints were without nearly half of their fucking team last night. and when Ian Book, making his first NFL start, had his second throw of the game get intercepted for a touchdown, i knew what was coming. the Dolphins won last night, 20-3. honestly, the best thing the Saints can do if all these players are going to be out for the rest of the season, just lose. get a better draft pick. they need help to make the playoffs and honestly, they wouldn't be going anywhere if they did make the playoffs.

Insecure: The End was a little documentary about the show last night. my mother found it very interesting as she only watched the last 2 seasons of the show. i saw every episode of it.

Monday Night Raw was okay last night. you can tell that WWE is dealing with COVID problems as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT.

i did listen to episode 375 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:

https://www.stitcher.com/show/sam-roberts-wrestling-podcast/episode/the-wrestling-world-in-2022-notsam-wrestling-375-89304433

team USA was supposed to play Switzerland this afternoon at the World Juniors. apparently, the USA had two of its players test positive for COVID, so that game is now a forfeit, which means Switzerland wins, 1-0. great. i have no clue if the game against Sweden is going to happen tomorrow night or not.

https://www.tsn.ca/team-usa-switzerland-world-junior-game-forfeited-covid-19-positive-tests-1.1739477

it has been raining most of today, so my arthritis has been raging. joy. i did take mom to her physical therapy session today. i had to go back with her so i could explain to her trainer about her fall on Christmas Eve. plus, she just found out yesterday one of her closest friends she used to work with died the day after Christmas. his cancer was in remission, but he got COVID, so they had to stop all the cancer treatments and sure enough, the cancer came back. so, mom is pretty down about that and even more down that she knows she can't go to the funeral as she is worried about her balance and doesn't want to make a scene. 

i think i'm going to try to get a nap in and then i need to do the trash and probably the dishes.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get all the grocery shopping done.

until then kids...

 as much as i'd love to get this fucking year over with already, there still is shit to do. i have had a productive day so far. i've been to the bank and i got my pills at Kroger. i got my new coffee maker going this morning. first time i have ever done the K cups. and it was also the first time i ever had Death Wish Coffee. i was happy that i liked it. i think the stronger caffeine is better for me actually. 

team USA defeated Slovakia last night, 3-2, at the World Juniors. i'm happy they won, but they need to play a complete 60 minutes if they are going to repeat as champions.

the series finale of Insecure was excellent last night. i am sad to see the series go, but it was a wonderful ride.

the season finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm was fucking hilarious last night.

the season finale of Hightown was really good last night. i do hope there will be a season 3.

the season finale of VICE was good last night.

Manchester United plays at Newcastle in a little bit. i really hope United wins today.

 so, Christmas went pretty good yesterday. i believe my mother and my sister both liked what i got them. they got me a single cup coffee maker that i totally wasn't expecting. i figured i was going to start experimenting with stronger coffee when mom died. so, i guess that journey will begin sooner now. we had Cornish hens for our Christmas dinner. i can't remember how long it has been since i had one of them. i think next year, we're going to do wings in the air fryer. my sister's friends got me a bottle of gin. i sent back some alcohol with my sister for them. 

i did watch plenty of the NBA yesterday. here are some highlights:

AEW Rampage was really good last night.

thankfully, it didn't rain all day yesterday. and today is supposed to be dry, at least until tonight.

Merry Christmas

 

Merry Christmas to everyone.

yesterday was one of those days that had been brewing for over 30 years. my sister and i got into it and i mean at the top of our lungs into it. she seemed clueless why i don't like the holidays. and i brought up being molested by a cousin. she acted like she has only knew about it for a few years now. so, when i told her that i told her, mom and dad in therapy when i was 13, she seemed dumbfounded. all of this came about after my mother fell again, this time in the kitchen. she was trying to walk holding on to the counter, instead of her walker, and sure enough, lost her balance and fell. she brought down a candle that was on one of those candle warmers as well. fun times. thankfully, she didn't hurt break anything on her body. she's going to be bruised and i'm pretty sure her clothes are ruined. 

just another day in the house of dysfunction.

my sister and i agreed we need to work on our communication and that brutal honesty is the only way to do so. i also informed her that i am privy to all of mom's conversations with her financial planner, so if you have questions, come to me first. mom's memory of anything anymore is fucking shot to hell.

so, before all that fun shit, i did watch The Matrix Resurrections. it was great. i loved it.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

Chillin Island was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Rampage.

i will probably watch plenty of the NBA today as well as the NFL. i do plan on watching that John Madden documentary this afternoon.

i hope everyone got some presents. i do hope what i sent the lucky few arrived long before today.

i now have to go eat some breakfast and open some gifts. 

my best to you and yours.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

until then.

be at peace.

oh yeah, that's why i hate the holidays...

 so, as if i'm not under enough fucking stress at the moment, it has come to my attention that my mother never paid my sister back for the house we are living in. my sister floated the money since the farm hadn't sold yet when we bought this house. i was under the impression that my mother paid her back when the farm was auctioned off. now, why my sister waited 6 fucking years to bring this up, i'm not sure. but, this goes back to my fear, that just like my father, my mother is going to leave me nothing. and my sister gets on my fucking nerves, but i do my best to not show it. take last night for example... i texted her around 6 to ask her if she was eating dinner with us. i don't hear anything until 8 when she tells my mother that we don't have to wait on her to eat, she can just warm up whatever i was making. now, i would have loved to have dinner around 7 because i'm not a big fan of eating while i am watching television. so, i made some fish and fries as that was the quickest thing i could make. and of course, i had to eat fast as i had to help my sister unload her car when she got here. maybe i'm just too simple minded to think college educated people who make 6 fucking figures can at least communicate like humans. 

AEW was really good last night.

Hard Knocks was really good last night.

The Masked Singer Christmas special last night was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

nothing on the DVR tonight. NXT UK is a best of. i will probably watch some of college football games and the NFL game tonight between the 49ers and Titans.

i am currently watching the USA vs. Finland pre-tournament game for the World Juniors. that tournament begins the day after Christmas.

i did get some baseball cards yesterday and today. the cards yesterday were from a box at Rite Aid. there was about $10 worth of cards in it. the cards today were two Derek Jeter art cards. there was only 99 made of each, so being able to get both for $25 i thought was a good investment.

i am going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow. 

my best to you and yours.

3 is a magic number...

 so, i had a pain last night in my back that was like an axe being thrown between my shoulder blades and being left there for hours. thankfully, i took a shower last night while buzzed on some alcohol and that seemed to do the trick. 

mom's chest pains were basically stress. that and the fact that Dayton almost blew a 20 point lead last night in the last 6 minutes of the game against Southern.

Dayton defeated Southern last night, 69-60. Dayton had 21 turnovers in the game and that almost cost them the game. they definitely need to clean that up if they want to be good in the A10 this season.

NXT was pretty good last night.

i did catch a little of the NFL games last night.

the joys of a bad back and little sleep...

 so, i did get mom to her ct scan this morning on time. i wrote 3 poems while i was in the waiting room. the scan didn't take nearly as long as she was expecting. hopefully, it comes back clean. as for the poems, i typed those up this afternoon. 

i really needed to ice my back and take a little nap. that little nap became 3 1/2 hours of sleep. the joys of McDonald's for breakfast i suppose. unless i can just snap my fingers and get this blog done in a few seconds, as well as a shower and a little workout, i won't be going to the game tonight. at least it is on television. 

great, mom just told me she has been having chest pains today, so i am definitely not going to the game tonight now. good times.

i'm sure it is just stress from the holidays and that my sister is coming down tomorrow night, etc. etc.

i'll probably watch a little of both NFL games tonight as well. Seahawks play the Rams and Washington plays the Eagles.

my order from Topps.com that has been stuck at Fed Ex for nearly a week finally showed up today. i need to open that up and see if anything is damaged. good times.

i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow in the morning, before i do the grocery shopping. and i really want to get all the shopping done before my sister comes down tomorrow night.

i did take mom to physical therapy today. i wrote 4 poems while i was there. i typed those up when we got back from Waffle House for lunch.

 the cops are across the street doing something, so it finally feels like the holidays around here.

i did get all my laundry done yesterday. nothing quite like almost throwing your back out while putting a fitted sheet on your bed. good times.

i did watch a good portion of that Colts vs. Patriots game last night.

the Dayton Flyers had way too many turnovers last night at Ole Miss. doesn't help that the majority of the Ole Miss team is between the age of 20 to 26. the kids on the Flyers looked timid for way too much of the game. Dayton lost last night to Ole Miss, 76-68.

the USMNT did not play well last night. Bosnia & Herzegovina were down to 10 men for the last 55 minutes of the friendly. if the USA would have won comfortably last night, i would feel much better. instead, they won 1-0. it does close out the most successful calendar year they have ever had.

i did watch plenty of college basketball yesterday, as well as some of La Liga and the Bundesliga on ESPN+. 

Saturday Night Live was pretty weird last night. they had to really shuffle the show because of the latest COVID variant running wild in New York City.

since the Saints play tonight, i'm going to wrap the Christmas gifts i got for my mother and sister this afternoon. i figure i'll get all that done and then vacuum the house and ice my back down for the rest of the day.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
