up early on a Saturday...

 i got up pretty early this morning. i am always hyped up when this week comes around every year. the Ohio State vs. Michigan game always has meant something to me. for too much of my damn life, it has meant bitter losses. i am really hoping, and fuck it, expecting, this year to be different. i know if it isn't, Ryan Day will be job seeking and who knows what this team looks like next season. a win today puts Ohio State in the Big 10 championship game against Oregon. 

Smackdown and NXT Level Up last night were really good. i can't wait for Survivor Series today.

the Yacht Rock dockumentary last night was great.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Collision and AEW Rampage. i'll be watching WWE Survivor Series on Peacock.

the New York Rangers lost yesterday at Philadelphia, 3-1. they play this afternoon at home against Montreal.

the USWNT plays England today in a friendly at Wembley Stadium.

i'm sure i will watch some college football today.

we got some snow yesterday. hell, i woke from a nap and looked outside and it looked like a fucking blizzard. 

i did get my Christmas shopping for mom done last night. i had used my Capitol One Visa so damn much this year that i had enough points to get all of her gifts for FREE.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Everton in the morning.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

the day after...

 as many of you know, i am not a big fan of Black Friday. i have tried to be less of a consumer as i have grown older. now, if it some crazy can't miss deal, i might take the bait, but often i will do most of my shopping to support small businesses. to me, at least, that is way more impactful than anything else shopping wise. i hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. mom wanted to do the cooking yesterday, so i let her. i could tell she was very proud of herself that everything tasted good. 

i did watch all 3 football games yesterday. didn't make much money, but i did get 2 of the 3 games right. i was surprised the Lions didn't cover. i wasn't surprised when the Bears fired their coach this morning. a blind man could have seen that coming.

Manchester United won yesterday in the Europa League, 3-2, at home over Bodo/Glimt.

The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and the Yacht Rock documentary. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

the New York Rangers play this afternoon in Philadelphia. it would be a good time to end their fucking losing streak.

i will probably watch some of the NFL game today between the Chiefs and Raiders.

and probably some college football as well.

i will probably be on here tomorrow before Ohio State plays at noon.

i hope everyone has a great day. if you are shopping, i hope you get some great deals.

close, but not close enough...

 so, before i get to another Dayton Flyers heartbreaking loss, i took mom to her doctor's appointment today. they took out one stitch from her eye surgery. everything is going exactly how the doctor hoped, so all are happy. the drive home was a bit crazy as it was raining. i had to go to the local grocery store again. mom forgot to put a few things on the list yesterday. thankfully, i was able to find everything and get in and out pretty quickly. eventually, this rain is supposed to change over to snow. joy.

the Dayton Flyers lost last night to #5 Iowa State, 89-84. they play #2 UCONN tonight at midnight. if they lose that game, they would have gone 0-3 in Maui. 

NXT was excellent last night.

The Voice was good last night. next week starts the live shows.

St. Denis Medical was very funny last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and Inside the NFL.

the New York Rangers play at Carolina tonight. i really hope they find a way to win tonight.

i will probably watch the Dayton game at midnight, although i know i need some fucking sleep.

i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before all the NFL games get started.

i will definitely be on here before Manchester United plays in the Europa League tomorrow.

if you are traveling for Thanksgiving, please be safe and have some patience.

i need to get started on dinner, so that's all for me today kids...

until tomorrow...

and this is why i don't like to be around people...

 so, i rarely ever go grocery shopping on Tuesdays. today reminded me why. i got what i needed to get at the local grocery store. it was crowded because Tuesday is the day the senior citizens get their discount on their groceries. i was going into a lane and a lady was coming into the lane at the same time. she waved me in and i thanked her with a wave. i started to put my things up to be scanned and she announces to the cashier, i guess ladies first is not a thing anymore, chivalry is dead. i bit my tongue about as hard as i could. paid for my shit and left, mouthing fucking cunt under my breath. why the fuck did you wave me in before you in the first place? this is what i hate about this fucking town. too many cunts here just want something to bitch about. if she would have just gone in front of me because she wanted to, i would have been fine with it. but to make the gesture in the first place and then complain because i take you up on it... anyone know a good town to move to? i'm open to all suggestions.

so, last night was a doozy. i feel like i spent most of the night trying to update my iPhone. that took way fucking longer than it should have. 

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to St. Louis, 5-2. first game they have lost when scoring first this season. also, their third loss in a row. not good.

Dayton lost a heartbreaker last night to North Carolina, 92-90. Dayton pissed away a 21 point lead in the game. just crushing. at least i had Dayton +7.5 in the game. so, i won that bet. tonight Dayton will play Iowa State, who i believe if #5 in the country. North Carolina was #12. and if Dayton happens to lose tonight, they will play UCONN tomorrow, who got upset for the second day in a row. losing to Colorado. they lost to Memphis yesterday.

The Voice was very good last night.

What We Do in the Shadows was hilarious last night.

Monday Night Raw was very good last night as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, The Voice and St. Denis Medical.

Dayton plays Iowa State tonight. Iowa State is ranked #5 in the country. Dayton is a 9.5 point underdog.

i have to take mom to her eye doctor tomorrow. i think they remove the first stitch from her eye tomorrow.

i should be on here tomorrow when i get back from that.

turkey week...

 so the next few days are going to be tricky... mom has a doctor's appointment the day before Thanksgiving. that means i am doing the grocery shopping tomorrow instead of Wednesday. thankfully, i don't think we need much from the store. hell, most of the money is going to pills this week. add in that the Dayton Flyers are playing in Hawaii and i highly doubt i am going to get much sleep for the next few days.

so, Manchester United got a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town yesterday. United scored 80 seconds into the game, so i was really hoping that was a sign of things to come. of course, it wasn't. what i did love was the new coach basically said exactly what was wrong after the game. the players thought too much out there and they were scared. that alone makes me think they hired the right guy finally.

i did watch plenty of NFL games yesterday.

Somebody Somewhere was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Monday Night Raw and What We Do in the Shadows.

the New York Rangers play at home tonight against St. Louis. hopefully, the Rangers will end their losing streak tonight.

the Dayton Flyers play North Carolina in Maui tonight. the game starts at 11:30 PM. Dayton is a (at least when i put money on them) 7.5 point underdog.

i might watch some of the NFL game tonight between the Chargers and Ravens.

Ohio State defeated Indiana yesterday, 38-15. they play that shit school up north next week at home. if they win, they will play Oregon again for the Big 10 championship and probably the #1 seed in the playoffs.

the New York Rangers lost last night in Edmonton, 6-2.

response from Synchronized Chaos...

 i heard back from Cristina at Synchronized Chaos on my recent poetry submission. my poems "old heaters in the winter", "snow in the forecast", "so this is my reality", "wholesome" and "the kids that never grow up" have been accepted for publication. they will appear in the December 1st issue.

i guess i am wired differently...

 right as i was getting ready to go to bed last night, i could hear my mother crying. i went into her room and asked what was wrong? she said she was crying because she was thinking about when she dies how i will be alone here. i chuckled and asked why are you worrying about that? she believes she has failed if i am somehow alone. that baffled me. of course, i am not a parent, nor have i ever wanted to be one. but, i do try to understand where my mother is coming from with these things. so, we had a 30 minute discussion about a wide range of topics. she went to sleep and i of course was now in my head and slept like shit. the only thing i can surmise is the holidays are quickly approaching and there is always time for dysfunction.

the New York Rangers lost last night in Calgary, 3-2. hard to win when you get outshot 49-29.

just a little snow...
