i hate when i have to turn the damn furnace back on after having it off for a day. that is the kind of shit that makes you think warmer weather will never get here to stay for a few days at least.
thankfully, we didn't have any damage from the fucking wind yesterday. my friends weren't as lucky.
the USMNT lost to Costa Rica last night, 2-0. i'm happy the boys have qualified for the World Cup, i just wish they could have done it with a victory.
the New York Rangers won in Detroit last night, 5-4 in OT.
AEW Dynamite was excellent last night.
Snowfall was great last night.
The Masked Singer was good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Young Sheldon, United States of Al, How We Roll, Atlanta, Dicktown, NJPW and Desus & Mero. i watched NXT UK earlier this afternoon on Peacock. it was good.
i iced my back down this afternoon and got a couple hours of sleep. i took a shower after that and i feel a little better. arthritis is still raging, but such is life.
just got an alert on my phone that it might snow tonight. well, fuck me.
tomorrow will start national poetry month. i haven't decided what i'm going to do for the blog this time around, though i do want to promote more of my own work. i really need to get my ass in gear and get some more SoundCloud recordings up.
more on that tomorrow.
i should be on here after i take mom to her physical therapy appointment.
until tomorrow kids...

i did my best to get the grocery shopping done before the weather turned to shit today. the wind has been gusting like crazy this afternoon. but, i got all the shopping done before 2 this afternoon. and thankfully, all the trash got picked up before noon today. it never fails around here, if it is trash day expect wind gusts around 50 MPH. good times.
i did get everything on the grocery list today, between Rite Aid and Kroger. and amazingly, i spent just a little over $100 total.
the New York Rangers won last night in Pittsburgh, 3-2. they play tonight in Detroit.
Young Rock was good last night.
Name That Tune was pretty good last night.
NXT was excellent last night.

i heard back from my brother from another mother at Cajun Mutt Press on my recent poetry submission. my poems "treated like a whore" and "more tragedy than your god knows how to handle" have been accepted for publication on July 22nd.
it isn't exactly something i want to do, but i don't really have a choice. i don't live in a state that is smart enough to make marijuana legal. so, whenever my right arm starts to radiate from the nerve pain, i like to think of it as a cyborg has taken over that arm. that i am now part machine. maybe that explains all the sleep i don't get.
so, mom wanted me to take her to the local insurance place so she could make the payment on her life insurance. we got there and she had some steps to go up to get inside. thank god she took her pain pill. she managed to get inside pretty good. she gave the lady her name and then handed her the paperwork and a check. the lady informed mom that they no longer take payments for life insurance in the office. they have to be mailed in. now mind you, we were at the post office before we went to the insurance place. i asked mom if they told her this information when she called them yesterday. she said no. i went to McDonald's to get lunch and then took mom back home. of course, somehow, they got our order wrong. mom got what she wanted, of course, i didn't. mom found the envelope and put everything in it. i had to go back out to the local grocery store anyway since we were out of bread. i made my second trip to the post office and then found just about everything i was looking for at the grocery store. so, tomorrow it will just be a trip to Rite Aid and Kroger. good times.
American Song Contest was much better last night. i didn't like the song that won the night, but there were plenty of really good songs that i did like.
Better Things was excellent last night.
Monday Night Raw was good last night. i can't wait for this weekend.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Young Rock, Name That Tune and NXT.
the New York Rangers play tonight at the Penguins. hopefully, the boys get a win tonight.
the NIT semifinals are tonight. i might watch some of those games.
i need to pick up the trash so that's all for me kids.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the rest of the grocery shopping done.
until then kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck Putin.
fuck the police.

so, i got some baseball cards today at Meijer. holy shit, i pulled another autograph card from a pack. i have never gone on a streak of two for two. the packs from Big Lots had an autographed basketball card in them. the packs today cost around $26. there was about $60 worth of cards in them. good times.
i didn't find everything i was looking for at Meijer. i did get plenty of coffee though. and luckily, Kroger had called to say that mom's pain pills were ready, so i picked those up on the way home.
the USMNT destroyed Panama last night, 5-1. that puts the boys just about into the World Cup. they need to avoid losing in Costa Rica on Wednesday by 5 or more goals. i think they should easily be able to do that. and once that happens, then they will automatically qualify for the World Cup.
both of the games yesterday in the Elite 8 weren't very close. the Final 4 is set. Duke will play North Carolina and Kansas will play Villanova.
Billions was excellent last night.
Super Pumped: The Battle for UBER was good last night.
Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.
Game Theory with Bomani Jones was very good last night.
Power Book IV: Force was really good last night.
Shining Vale was pretty funny last night.
the New York Rangers won last night over Buffalo, 5-4 in OT.

i did listen to episode 388 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
i heard back from Cindy at Yellow Mama on my recent poetry submission. my poems "dark winter blues", "in this damn void" and "in the back of my brain" have been accepted for publication in issue #95, due out in Dec. 2022.
so, when i got up this morning and got the paper, it was snowing. i laughed. i had on a jacket and was wearing shorts. i'm sure my neighbors think i'm fucking crazy. good.
i'm doing my laundry today. i figure i better get it done now, while i have the time.
my trip to Big Lots yesterday was a little fruitful. i pulled an autograph out of one of the three basketball card packs i got. they didn't have the coffee i was looking for, but i did find a cherry drink i hadn't seen before. with my coupon i spent a little over $30. the worth of the cards was over $75. i'm cool with that.
i did watch some of the college basketball games yesterday. by tonight, the Final 4 will be set.
i did catch some of the MLS games yesterday and a couple NHL games as well.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Power Book IV: Force, Shining Vale, Billions, Super Pumped: The Battle for UBER, Last Week Tonight and Game Theory w/Bomani Jones.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Buffalo. hopefully the boys have another great start and win.
the USMNT plays tonight in Orlando against Panama. this is a MUST WIN game tonight. with a victory and a little help, they will clinch their trip to the World Cup.
i might have to do a little shopping tomorrow, so i should be on here after i get that done.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
until tomorrow kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, when i saw the news last night that Taylor Hawkins had died, i was crushed. Foo Fighters has always been a band i wanted to see live. anytime i would watch one of their shows on YouTube, i could always tell how much fun they had playing. and a major part of that was the drummer, Taylor Hawkins. i can't imagine the pressure of being the drummer in a band fronted by the drummer from Nirvana. Taylor always seemed so friendly and cool. and fuck, he was only 50 years old. that's only 4 years older than me. so yeah, this one hits a little fucking harder. thank you for all the smiles. rest in peace. my best to his family, his friends and all the fans.
so, my sister stopped by last night on her way home. she was away in Europe for a little bit. she brought me back some cool shit from the UK.
the New York Rangers whipped the Penguins last night, 5-1. that was great to watch.
i did watch a good portion of college basketball games last night. the Elite 8 starts tonight.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.
AEW Rampage was very good last night.
the season finale of Painting With John was hilarious last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was very good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight.
i'll probably be watching some college basketball today, maybe some soccer, and most definitely some hockey.
i need to go to Big Lots today. i have a 20% off coupon. hopefully i'll find some coffee and some basketball cards.
it did snow some this morning. thankfully, nothing really stuck around here.
i should be on here in the morning tomorrow.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
thanks again for checking out my latest published poems:
so much for spring... when i told my mother she needed her winter coat today when we were going to her physical therapy session, i could tell she wasn't happy. mom freaked me out last night. i went and got some Lee's chicken for dinner. her sodium numbers were low enough that she could have a meal. so, after she ate, she felt so full that she wasn't sure if she was dying or not. i took her blood pressure and it was at a level where she probably should have been having a stroke. low enough that i asked if she wanted me to call the squad. she said no, let me die in my chair. i said i'll have to call someone or they are going to charge me with something. all in all, i think it was a ploy to get some red velvet cake. after the cake and some lemonade, she was fine. i helped her with her exercises and by 2 AM, her blood pressure was fine. by this morning, it was truly back to normal, it was high.
i did watch the USMNT play Mexico last night. the match finished up 0-0. honestly, if the USA would have been clinical in the final third, they would have won 2 or 3-0. oh well. a solid point on the road. now, the USMNT comes home to take on Panama. if they defeat Panama on Sunday and Costa Rica does something other than win, the USA will be in the World Cup.
NXT UK was pretty good last night.
both episodes of Atlanta last night were spectacular. i'm so happy the show is back.
Vice News Tonight had two great shows this week.
NJPW was good last night.
Dicktown was hilarious last night.
Desus & Mero was fucking funny last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Real Time with Bill Maher and Painting with John. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Pittsburgh. this could be a playoff preview, so i'm hoping the boys play a complete game and win.
i picked Gonzaga to win it all this season, so of course they lost last night.
i'm sure i'll watch some of the games tonight as well.
i did see that HHH retired today from pro wrestling. given what my mother went through with her heart failure, i know exactly what he was talking about and just how fucking scary that is.
i believe i am going to make some turkey burgers tonight.
i should probably be on here tomorrow in the late morning/early afternoon most likely. if we do get snow in the morning, i'll be beyond pissed.
i heard back from Cristina at Synchronized Chaos on my recent poetry submission. my poems "from time to time", "falling in love again", "have her way with me", "surrounded by death" and "in the arms of my first love" have been accepted for publication in the April issue.
i have been relaxing for most of the day. i watched all of the new WWE series on Peacock, WWE Evil. 8 episodes of the biggest villains. other than the fact that it was put together by John Cena, it was pretty good.
AEW Dynamite was excellent last night.
Snowfall was fucking crazy great last night.
The Masked Singer was good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NJPW, Dicktown, Desus & Mero and two episodes of Atlanta. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on Peacock.
the Sweet 16 starts tonight. i'm sure i will watch some of those games.
the USA plays at Mexico tonight in World Cup Qualifying. the USA has never had much success down there, i'm hoping that changes tonight.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to her physical therapy appointment.
if you are gambling tonight, best of luck to you.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, my goal today was to get the grocery shopping done before the storms got here today. when i got gas today ($50 fucking dollars worth) it started to rain. by the time i got out of Kroger, there was a tornado watch. thankfully, i made it home and had the groceries put away by the time the tornado warning came about. there was a funnel cloud spotted right around where i would have been driving if i waited to do the shopping later. or as i jokingly put it to my mother, god has always had piss poor aim when trying to kill me.
the New York Rangers started off great last night. they were up 2-0 after the first period. the new guys looked good, etc. etc. then, they decided to get cute and try to play fancy and the Devils took full advantage of it. the lead quickly evaporated and the Rangers ended up losing, 7-4. hopefully, lesson learned. the KISS theory always fucking works.
Young Rock was pretty funny last night.
NXT was really good last night.

i did get some baseball cards today from Rite Aid. i got 2 boxes and 2 packs, which cost me $27. thankfully, i got over $60 worth from everything. that made me a little happy today.
i should be on here early tomorrow. World Cup qualifying starts back up and the USA plays down in Mexico tomorrow night. so, i will be on edge for most of the day.
now, i'm hoping none of these fucking storms pop back up tonight.

so, i did watch American Song Contest last night. best part of the show was you could tell Snoop and Kelly were getting more and more drunk as the show went on.
Better Things was excellent last night.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

today was sunny, damn near 70 degrees, a light breeze, fuck... damn near perfect. and of course, it happens on a fucking Monday.
so mom got x-rays today. her hip is fine, some arthritis in the knee, but all of her pain is coming from her back. so, since she knows that now, she knows it is a matter of pain management. i'm hoping one of these doctors give her some better pain meds, or i'm going to have to give her some liquor to take her pills with. good times.
the New York Rangers got badly outshot yesterday at Carolina. it didn't fucking matter, as their backup goalie stopped everything. the Rangers won, 2-0. to beat Tampa Bay and Carolina on the road right before the trade deadline was brilliant. today the Rangers made 4 trades that i think will definitely make the club deeper and better.
Dayton lost to Vanderbilt yesterday in OT, 70-68. part of me was mad but i'm taking a big picture look at this. this loss should be the fuel to drive them next season. hopefully, all of them come back and they all get better. if that happens, Dayton will be scary as fuck next season.
i did watch plenty of college basketball games yesterday.
Billions was very good last night.
