one of the craziest games i have ever seen...

 when Manchester United was up 2-0 at halftime yesterday, i felt pretty confident. when they were down 4-2 in extra time against Lyon (playing with 10 men), i felt horrible. then, Casemiro got fouled in the box. Bruno scored the penalty kick. then, Casemiro and Bruno made a great little passing play to Kobbie Mainoo to make it 4-4. one minute after that, Casemiro made the perfect pass to Harry Maguire to head in the winner. 3 goals in 7 minutes. holy shit. one of the craziest games i can remember. first European game to have 5 goals scored in extra time. United won 5-4 and 7-6 on aggregate. they advance to the semifinals of the Europa League.

the New York Rangers won last night at home against Tampa Bay, 4-0. that wraps up the season and Sam Rosen's 40th year as the tv broadcaster of the team. i thought it was a nice touch to announce Sam as the #1 star of the game.

the New York Yankees won last night over Tampa Bay, 6-3. hopefully, they will do that again tonight.

AEW Collision was ok last night.

Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage was pretty funny last night.

Manchester United lost yesterday at Newcastle, 4-1. i figured they would lose yesterday, i was just hoping they wouldn't have any injuries. silly me.

the Yankees pissed away a 3-0 lead yesterday and lost at home to the Giants, 5-4. they start a series tonight at home against the Royals.

been a long day...

 i always love when i don't get to bed until after 5 in the morning. at least this time, i actually slept past 10. of course, i woke up with the arthritis in my left ankle raging and my right hand was asleep. makes no fucking sense. i didn't get to check my emails until the afternoon. thankfully, i only had 380. 

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Carolina, 4-0.

the Dayton Flyers lost last night at Saint Bonaventure, 75-53. i didn't watch any of the game and judging by the score, i saved myself plenty of stress.

NXT was very good last night.

St. Denis Medical was hilarious last night.

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

grocery shopping was ok today for the most part. i tried to get everything on the list, but some shit wasn't on sale and i was like, i can go without it for a week or so. at least i kept it under $250 between the two stores.

that being said, i have no fucking clue what i'm making for dinner tonight. mom's got all her issues with her gut again, and i have no damn clue what she can eat, etc.

so, i'm going to go ice my back down and try to figure out a dinner.

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

the joy of living with pain...

 so, the pain isn't exactly coming from my left shoulder, more coming from the neck it seems. makes it pretty difficult to do certain things when it is really flaming. when i got home from the grocery store, i put ice right on where it felt like the pain was coming from. i think i got the ice right on a nerve. this is why ice only works for me. it was an instant sensation of my body shutting off. i fear, i'll need that more and more as i get older. i have a doctor's appointment later this month. that might get interesting. i see the eye doctor tomorrow. that could get interesting as well.

grocery shopping went ok today. it took me a little longer to bag my groceries at Kroger. the cashier certainly didn't seem interested in helping me. at least the lady behind me was very patient. i did appreciate that.

the Yankees lost last night at Texas, 7-4. nothing like Clay Holmes blowing another fucking save by giving up a walk off grand slam. now, the guy that hit that grand slam got the hit i needed to win a same game parlay on Draftkings. what a world. the loss also knocked the Yankees out of first place in the AL East.

NXT was really good last night.

Hard Knocks was good last night. time for another NFL season to start.

Deadliest Catch was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and Big Brother.

so, i am a big believer in evolution. i try to explain it as why we see everything done by people younger and younger. today was the latest example as a 14 year old is the latest school shooter. i fucking hate it more than anything that this shit is fucking common in this country. i hate it even more that the response from the republicans is to arm the teachers and put more guns in the situation. as i told my mother today, maybe when a 8 year old kills his classmates, this country will finally realize the gun problem we have. it obviously is going to take something so fucking shocking to wake us the fuck up.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get done with my appointment at the eye doctor.

i need to pick up all the trash tonight and get that out. i love how people forget around here that trash gets picked up a day later when there is a holiday.

i have no clue what i'm making for dinner tonight.

i'm off to go ice my neck down again. joy.

happy i wish i could still eat chocolate day...

 happy easter to everyone that celebrates this. for the rest of us, hope you enjoy the candy. for us diabetics, well, i share in the misery. my body has decided it can no longer break down chocolate, so i have given it up. so, easter to me has now become a cruel mistress of past joy.

so, since we are on the misery tip, let me talk about Manchester United. United was fucking awful yesterday. after 15 minutes, you could tell they were completely uninterested in the game. if Brentford would have been clinical yesterday in the final third, they would have won by three or four goals. instead, Mason Mount scored late for United. and probably no sooner than i said don't fuck this up, Brentford equalized. 1-1 draw. a point that United didn't deserve at all.

the New York Rangers won yesterday at the Coyotes, 8-5. Jonathan Quick now has the most goalie wins for any American born goalie. 

the New York Yankees won last night at the Astros, 5-3. third straight come from behind win. hopefully, they will get the sweep this afternoon.

i did watch some college basketball last night. congrats to UConn and Alabama. the other half of the final four will be set today.

last day of January...

 i wrote 2 poems last night and i really like them. and of course, since the creative juices were flowing, i didn't get much sleep last night. i think maybe 3 1/2 hours at best. so, in the process of getting ready this morning to do the grocery shopping, my back told me to fuck off and i had to ice it down for a few hours. that is the joy of having a bad back. i know i could have pushed it but then i would have been fucking useless the rest of the day. i still was able to get everything on the grocery list. mom isn't having a good day either. so i had the fun of not only getting all the groceries but also putting them all away.

 well, let me begin with my disgust for Ohio State losing once again to that team up north. and mostly, i am pissed that Ryan Day coached scared. and a fucking fill in outcoached him by a fucking mile. Ohio State played like they didn't want to lose the game instead of going out there and imposing their will and win the fucking game. 3 years in a row now. how can you destroy every other team in the Big Ten but come up short against the only rival you have and in the biggest game of every fucking season? Ohio State lost 30-24.

part of my childhood has died...

 i'm sure i'm not the only one that felt that punch to the gut today when the news hit that Pee Wee Herman was dead. Paul Reubens played that character so damn well that you can't imagine anyone else on earth ever doing it. i remember watching the Pee Wee Herman Show when i was probably too young to watch it. and then came the movies, Pee Wee's Playhouse, etc. that always made me laugh. and it taught me a valuable lesson in how uncomfortable can be fucking hilarious. to know that cancer was the reason for his death at 70 years old crushed me. cancer is probably one of the things i hate the most in this world. thank you for allowing a young kid to laugh at stupid shit and actually have fun.

i went and got my new glasses and sunglasses today. my vision is horrible and i can tell my eyes are only getting worse. but, i can see way better with these than my old ones. hopefully, i won't need new ones for a few years (fingers crossed).

the Yankees lost last night at Baltimore, 9-3. they start a series tonight at home against Tampa Bay.

not sure how much deeper a depression can get...

 now, i think i do a pretty decent job fighting my depression, battling through. but, the last few days, maybe it is the heat or maybe it is my lingering thoughts on mortality, the depression has been sinking deeper and deeper into me. and as much as i can drink away the pain or clear my head with a cold shower, nothing really works. not even a beautiful woman telling me how good i look lifts my spirits. good times.

i did vacuum the house last night. of course, after i did that mom decided she wanted to open the box her new light was in and to put it together. i looked at all the Styrofoam and cardboard on what i just vacuumed. i just started to laugh. honestly, why the fuck do i even bother to do this shit anymore? of course, i ended up putting the light together. as much as she wants to think she can still do things, the more she has to realize that she can't.

what could have been

 so, i got up this morning and got my ass in gear to watch the USA vs. Netherlands. i missed the first Netherlands goal as i was in the bathroom taking a shit. i was hoping it was a USA goal with all the commotion i was hearing, but sadly it was not. the second Netherlands goal came on the last kick of the first half. that was a punch to the dick. now, both goals were scored by former Manchester United players, so that stung doubly for me. the USA got one back to make it 2-1, but quickly had yet another defensive mistake and the Netherlands made it 3-1. that was the final score. i was not impressed with the original starting lineup nor the changes that the USA coach made. i honestly think if they want to get truly better and be a team with a chance to win the World Cup when they are co-hosting in 2026, they MUST hire a better coach. the Netherlands outplayed and outmanaged the USA by miles in this game. now, i will give the USMNT a little credit as they have at the very least, restored a little respect on the team. getting into the knockout stage of the tournament should be the bare minimum from now on. and for the love of Christ, find a fucking striker in the next 4 years. 

in the other game at the World Cup today, Argentina defeated Australia, 2-1. Netherlands vs. Argentina in the quarterfinals should be an amazing game to watch.

the Dayton Flyers won today against SE Louisiana, 80-74.

after the game was over, i went to Rite Aid to get my pills. when i noticed there wasn't many cars in the parking lot, i thought well at least i might not have to wait in line. i pulled into the parking spot and saw on the door, pharmacy is closed today. oh, isn't that great. and i know they are closed tomorrow as well. so, i can't wait until Monday when i am completely out of the pills i need to go up there and see what the fuck is going on.

the New York Knicks lost today at home to Dallas, 121-100.

no update on getting a new tire yet. mom sent a strongly worded email to the dealership last night, mostly because we have been going to them for 20 fucking years now. so, i am sort of waiting to see if anything comes of it before i rush out and spend money somewhere else.

since the Saints play on Monday Night Football, i'm not sure who i will be watching tomorrow in the NFL.

tomorrow in the World Cup, France takes on Poland and England plays Senegal.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday night.
