not exactly how i wanted to start the day...

 so, let me begin where this little adventure called life left off yesterday. i needed the top team in the Mexican soccer league to beat one of the worst ones to get a 5 team parlay to hit. so, i watched them lose at home to that lower team, 2-1. now, apparently, that set off a major case of bad mojo as most of my bets this morning are fucking losers. that includes Manchester United losing at home to Crystal Palace, 1-0. as soon as Palace scored this morning, i fucking turned the game off and got ready to go to the bank. this is going to be one of those days where i know i will need to be extra vigilant with my own anger.



the New York Yankees lost last night at Kansas City, 12-5. why does it feel like the Yankees are going to swept to end the season?





Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.









AEW Rampage was good last night.







Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty funny last night.






enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be AEW Collision.


the Rangers play at the Islanders tonight. i'll probably only get to see the highlights of that.


i might watch some of the MLS games tonight.


i do plan on watching NXT No Mercy tonight on Peacock.


i should be on here tomorrow before the New Orleans Saints play.


hard to believe that tomorrow is the first day of October.

it was like i was on a scavenger hunt...

 so, we get this dairy supplement that Rite Aid makes as it helps to make sure anytime i eat dairy i don't suddenly have diarrhea. we usually can find it in bottles with 125 pills in it. well, they have become suddenly scarce in the last few weeks. so, i opened the last box the other night and decided to go out today and try to find some. now, i went to the Brookville store and there was no sight of them but they had the same pills in a 32 count box and were selling those as buy 1 get 1 50% off. i checked the ingredients and they were the same pills i normally use. then i checked the shelves to see if even the 125 pill box was even listed anywhere. it wasn't. that was the same for the New Lebanon Rite Aid and the Englewood Rite Aid. i wasn't driving to the Vandalia one as i knew i had other shit to do today. so, i ended up buying 4 boxes in total and since Englewood didn't have any, i got some baseball and football cards there. i got an autographed football card in the football box. a couple of hall of famers in the baseball box. not bad.


the Yankees lost last night at Toronto, 6-0. they start a series tonight in Kansas City. final 3 games of the season.



i did catch some of the NFL game last night. i guess the Lions are for real and last week, the Saints must have beat the Saints as i'm further convinced that the fucking Packers didn't.






Big Brother was very good last night. Cameron is back in the game and is the new HOH. this is going to be fun.


NJPW was excellent last night.


enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.


i didn't get to see any of the New York Rangers game last night.




i will have my eye on some soccer in Mexico tonight. i have a five team parlay that is one victory away from being a winner.


since Ohio State is off tomorrow, i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow.


i hope everyone has a great weekend. i think the rain is finally out of the area so maybe i won't be in pain all weekend.

a rainy day

 so, the thunder woke me up at 7:30 this morning. i was planning on being up early as i knew mom wanted to be up early to make a phone call. i woke her up 3 different times before she finally got up and made the call. she was supposed to have an appointment today but mistakenly took a medication she was supposed to stop before her appointment. so, they had to reschedule the appointment for later in October as she had no interest in doing it at 8 AM on Monday. so, that opened up my day. and of course, it had to be raining. so, it was ice, some stretching, and catching up on whatever sleep happens to be. good times.


the Yankees won again last night in Toronto, 6-0. Gerrit Cole pitched a complete game shutout. he walked no one and gave up only 2 hits. Aaron Judge hit 2 home runs. the Yankees go for the sweep tonight.





i did catch the highlights from the Houston Dynamo winning the U.S. Open Cup last night.


AEW Dynamite was very good last night.









The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.



American Horror Story was fucking nuts last night.

arthritis wins again...

 it rained last night and a little bit today. that set me up for a day of just pure fucking misery. my arthritis has been raging since 3 in the morning. mind you, i didn't get to sleep until 5:30 this morning. the phone woke me up at 10 and i have been up since. there will most likely be a crash soon. joy.


grocery shopping went well today. of course, Rite Aid texted me at 2:30, while i was at Kroger, to tell me my Trulicity shots were ready to be picked up. so, after i unloaded everything at the house and put it away, i had to go there. and of course, it was sprinkling. at least the cost on the shots was $0.


the Yankees won last night at Toronto, 2-0. that was unexpected. Gerrit Cole pitches against the Blue Jays tonight.




NXT was very good last night.















the season finale of Deadliest Catch was crazy last night.


Inside the NFL was pretty good last night.


both episodes of Welcome to Wrexham were great last night.


Name That Tune was very good last night.


The Voice was good last night.



i did make it home in time to see Newcastle knock out Manchester City from the Carabao Cup. of course, in the next round, Manchester United will host Newcastle. that's a rematch from last year's final.


i did watch some of the New York Rangers preseason game last night.



enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:








on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, American Horror Story and The Masked Singer.


i was in the grocery store when the big NBA trade happened today. and since a former Dayton Flyer is involved in it, i am now very interested in it.





i know i'm supposed to take mom to an appointment tomorrow afternoon. she said something about having to call scheduling to maybe reschedule that appointment. basically, as always, i'm on standby.


i need to get dinner going and get some ice on my back, so that's all for me today kids.

the art of holding a shit for 25 minutes...

 so, i was sitting in the waiting area while mom was getting the injection for her back. i felt some gas coming on and knew it wasn't going to be one of those farts where you can get away with in public. i started to think about baseball or whatever to not concentrate on the building pressure. mom got done and i got her into the Highlander and thought i was doing pretty good. i had to shift a few times while i was driving. she wanted a Frozen Coke from McDonald's so i went there. thankfully, there was no line. 5 minutes later i was pulling into the driveway. now, i have learned over the years to not panic and rush in these situations. take your time and rush when it is is necessary. i made it to the toilet after i put mom's rollator away in the garage. thankfully, it all made it into the toilet. holy fuck. i'm surprised i didn't break the fucking thing. 20 minutes later, i was taking a nap. what a day.


Manchester United defeated Crystal Palace today 3-0 in the Carabao Cup. that was a pleasure to watch. what a change. the teams will play again on Saturday in the Premier League.







the Yankees won yesterday against Arizona, 6-4. that was the final home game of the season. they start a series tonight at Toronto. they need to win 3 of the last 6 to finish over .500 for the 31st season in a row.

the monday blues...

 i was pretty happy yesterday when the New Orleans Saints were up 17-0 at halftime at Green Bay. Derek Carr got injured in the second half and it was like the whole team said oh shit at the same time. the offense was inept and couldn't stay on the field long enough to give the defense a break. and sure enough, Green Bay came back to win 18-17. they said after the game that Derek Carr has a sprained AC Joint in his right shoulder. great.






the Yankees were officially eliminated from the playoffs yesterday after losing to Arizona, 7-1. they are already down 2-0 today. at least The Captain said the right things after the game. there is a ton of shit that needs to change to be better next season.





the USWNT won yesterday against South Africa, 2-0. 




Big Brother was good last night.


Billions was excellent last night.

ohio against the world...

 i am still buzzing from the Ohio State game last night. Ohio State defeated Notre Dame 17-14 on a TD with 1 second left in the game. Ryan Day had me all fired up in the postgame. you could tell just how pissed he was. and honestly, i don't blame him at all. how Notre Dame only had 10 guys on the field for the last two plays is beyond me. and their coach, who i love, his explanation doesn't make any sense. all in all, an instant classic. 






i did watch a ton of college football yesterday:









here are your MLS highlights from last night:







AEW Collision was excellent last night.







Manchester United won 1-0 yesterday at Burnley. what a fucking goal from Bruno.






Sam Jay: Salute Me or Shoot Me was fucking hilarious last night.

the first weekend of fall...

 at least it felt like fall this morning. of course, it is supposed to get up to almost 80 degrees today. 


the Yankees won last night at home against Arizona, 7-1. Aaron Judge became the first Yankees player EVER to have multiple 3 home run games in the same season last night. the game today has already been postponed.





Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.











both hours of AEW Rampage were good last night.

i will probably watch some of the MLS games tonight.


i got up this morning a little after 7. of course, i went to bed a little after 3 after getting the dishes done. i can't wait until we actually get a damn dishwasher installed.


i will probably be on here tomorrow before the Saints play at Green Bay.

good news to report...

 so, my doctor's appointment went well today. my weight was down just about 10lbs. my A1C went down a full point (7.8 to 6.8). the doc wanted to know what changed and i told her i basically cut out 90% of the sweets i would usually eat. so, now i know what i need to stick to. basically, i have to cut chocolate out of my life. i guess i will have to treat this like when i stopped smoking. but, it would be nice to cut my A1C even lower and then maybe get off of some of these pills.


after i got out of there, i had to go to Kroger and get mom's prescriptions. and then go to Rite Aid to pick up my 3 prescriptions. i then went home to give mom the good news. as soon as i walked in she told me she did something stupid. she hit her head on the corner of the ledge where our microwave is while cleaning. i checked her and i didn't see any blood or bruising but she does have a headache. this is why i get uncomfortable anytime i leave the fucking house and she is alone. so yeah, what should have been a happy afternoon has turned into one of those mindfucks that there are no good answers to. joy.


the Yankees won last night over Toronto, 5-3. Gerrit Cole basically won the AL Cy Young award last night with his performance. 8 innings, 2 hits, 1 run, 9 strikeouts, 0 walks. he's now 14-4 on the season. the Yankees start a series tonight at home against Arizona.


well, i guess the tool to put videos in the blog today isn't working. oh great.


Big Brother was good last night. Cameron was the first one evicted. then Jared was evicted. but, neither are out of the game just yet. they are Big Brother zombies for the week and one of them will get to stay in the game. this should be interesting.


NJPW was excellent last night. it was the G1 Climax 33 main event between Okada and Naito. 


on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and two hours of AEW Rampage. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.


i did watch the USWNT game last night against South Africa. the USA won 3-0.


i should be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays at Burnley. it will definitely be before Ohio State plays tomorrow night at Notre Dame.


i hope everyone has an amazing weekend.


until tomorrow kids...

fuck war.

poetry update...

 i just sent 5 poems to The Beatnik Cowboy. when i hear back from them i will pass along the verdict.

Thursday, September 21, 2023

at least i got a nap today...

 i had to go out to Rite Aid today because as i was doing my pills for the week last night, i didn't realize we were out of Benadryl. so, i got two boxes of that today and another sharps container as i know one of them is just about full. thankfully, i had a coupon that got me $5 off. 


other than that, i got a good nap this afternoon watching the Europa League action. went 3 out of 4 on my bets with that. never thought Brighton was going to lose at home. so, 7 out of 8 in the Champions League and 3 out of 4 in the Europa League. so close to actually making some money. damn.


the Yankees lost last night to Toronto, 6-1. i think if they lose tonight they are officially eliminated from the playoff race. hell, they already know they have no fucking shot at that. i think the only thing left is to try to stay above .500. they are currently 76-76 with 10 games left in the season.



AEW Dynamite was excellent last night.






Big Brother was good last night. i'm pretty sure Cameron will be the first one evicted tonight. i really hope someone unexpected goes out with the second eviction tonight.


American Horror Story was very good last night. just enough paranoia to keep me interested throughout.

the USWNT plays a friendly tonight against South Africa. it is Julie Ertz last match with the team.





the New York Giants play at the 49ers tonight. hopefully the few bets i have on that game are winners.


i will be on here tomorrow after my doctor's appointment in the afternoon. i know i need to pick up mom's pills after that. and Rite Aid just texted me, so i'll be going there before i get back home. joy.

got home just in time for the misery...

 i was hoping to have all the grocery shopping done today and be home by the time Manchester United was playing at Bayern Munich in the Champions League. by the time i got the groceries into the Highlander at Kroger, the game was just starting. by the time i got all the groceries in and turned on the game, Bayern Munich was up 2-0. joy. Bayern Munich won today, 4-3. don't let the score fool you, if Bayern wouldn't have taken their foot off the gas, they would have scored probably 6 or 7 goals today. at least the goalie from Manchester United admitted his fuck up cost them the game today. that is at least a start in the right direction of the players taking accountability of this shit.




the Yankees lost last night at home to Toronto, 7-1.



NXT was very good last night.
















Deadliest Catch was good last night. the season finale is next week.


Inside the NFL was pretty good last night.

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


the one thing that really pisses me off about bagging my own groceries is the person behind me in line will always just assume they can move up however far the fuck they want and not give two shits that i haven't paid yet. the lady today almost gave me enough room to put the fucking credit card in. if i was truly in a pissy mood, i would have made the cunt pay for it.
