i almost had a feeling that the New York Rangers were going to find a way yesterday to stay alive in the playoff chase. i quickly saw how foolish that thought was after the first 40 minutes. they lost at Carolina yesterday, 7-3. that eliminates them from the chance to make the playoffs. they are the 4th team to win the President's trophy the previous year and miss the playoffs the next. the Rangers have actually done that twice now. the last time they did it, they won the Stanley Cup the next season. oh, if only history could fucking repeat itself.
a delightful trip into the dark mind of an evil genius or simply the musings of an asshole

fan is short for fanatic
so, the mail hasn't been delivered yet, so i might as well get the blog done as i bide my time. i really hope the cards are in the mail today. i just want to get this shit over with.
the New York Rangers pissed away two different 2 goal leads last night and lost at Anaheim in OT, 5-4. hopefully, that will be the nail in the coffin for this team. i don't want them to make the playoffs just to get swept by Washington in the first round. they play tonight at San Jose. if they lose this game, it will be time to start benching players and play the fucking kids.

i wasn't using that hour anyway...
i set all the clocks ahead last night except the one in the Highlander. i figure i'll do that when i drive it again.
the New York Rangers pissed away a 3rd period lead yesterday and lost at Ottawa, 4-3, in OT. hopefully, they will do better today at home in a MUST WIN game against Columbus.
i did watch some MLS games yesterday.

up early on a Saturday...
nothing like getting to bed by 4 AM and up at 7 AM. fuck me.
the Dayton Flyers won last night at VCU, 79-76. that means Dayton will have a double bye and be the 3 seed in the A10 tournament. always good to go ruin someone's senior night.

and here comes march...
so, i woke up last night at 4:45 AM to take a piss. i tried to get back to sleep, but it never happened. by 7, i was up and taking my pills, etc. i know at some point today, i am probably going to crash pretty hard. joy.
Smackdown was good last night. i can't wait for the Elimination Chamber tonight on Peacock.

one of those Sundays...
there is a ton of stuff going on today. and i of course slept a little longer than i wanted and am now trying to make up for lost time.
i did write 2 poems last night. and a big thank you to everyone that has checked out my latest published poem:

WWE Saturday Night's Main Event was good last night.

running behind on a Saturday...
and here i wanted to be already done with this blog and have most of Christmas put away already. of course, i was going to get up at 7 to do all that. instead, i didn't get up until almost 10. oh well.
i did write 1 poem last night before i took a shower.
the Dayton Flyers defeated St. Joe's last night, 77-72. you would never by the final score Dayton was up by 29 at one point of the game.

here comes the bitter cold...
i guess tonight it basically starts to feel like Siberia here. supposed to feel like -10 for the next couple of days. joy.
i did write 1 poem last night. i was really hoping for more but nothing was flowing.
i did get up early enough this morning to watch Manchester United lose to Brighton, 3-1. they can't play well two games in a row at home for anything.

welcome to the last weekend before dystopia becomes normal again...
i went to the bank this morning to make a deposit. no big deal, there was a little rain but thankfully it wasn't freezing rain. as i was coming out of the bank, i noticed this contractor talking to the police in the parking lot. as i got in the Highlander, the cop was leaving and this old guy comes racing out of the bank. he starts yelling at the contractor, you fucking asshole, you stole money out of my account, i should punch you in the fucking face. i was like, i guess i can wait around for a bit. the old guy was probably in his 70's, the contractor was maybe late 30's. the old guy got into the contractor's van. the contractor got out and got on his phone. i started the Highlander and left, obviously there wasn't going to be the violence i could have another book of poems about. oh well.
i did write 1 poem last night. i have 5 in the unpublished file. i'd love to get another 5 so i can send to a couple different places.
Smackdown was excellent last night.

well, that was fun to watch...
Ohio State whipped Tennessee last night, 42-17, in the college football playoffs. that sets up a rematch against Oregon in the Rose Bowl.

at least the sun is out...
i almost got some decent sleep last night. almost. but, i did get up this morning and got some shit done before i had to get mom up. she had company coming over this morning for breakfast. she of course missed the text message sent this morning, so i only got her up 5 minutes before that company came. but, in the end, all went well. breakfast was good (biscuits and gravy) and everyone had enough to eat.
the Dayton Flyers lost last night at UC, 66-59. you could tell Dayton was playing their 3rd game in 7 days. when you have no legs, jump shots don't go in. sure enough, it took Dayton over 11 minutes last night to get their first field goal.
the New York Rangers finally played like they gave a shit last night and won at Dallas, 3-1. helps when your goalie stops 41 of 42 shots.

been a long day...
so, the trip to mom's eye doctor is about 40 minutes one way. the freeways in Ohio are such if you aren't going whatever speeds the trucks are going, they will run you over. so, a good portion of the trip was done at 80 MPH. the trip home wasn't as fast as the state troopers wanted to fill their quota before next week. mom got her last stitch out of her eye. she now is down to 2 drops a day of one drop. that for the next month and then it will be 1 drop a day for the rest of her life. but, she needs to do some invisible tears to make sure her eye doesn't dry out and then she needs to do an ointment in her eye at night. this will be interesting as she tried that before and absolutely hated it. her doctor said she doesn't have a choice now. so yeah, going to be interesting.
i got home in time for the second half of the Manchester United game at Tottenham today. i turned it off when Tottenham went up 2-0. Tottenham ended up winning the game 4-3. so, United won't be winning the Leagues Cup this year. oh well.
the season finale of The Masked Singer was crazy last night, as usual.

a rainy Sunday...
well, i was hoping to have this blog done before the Manchester derby started today. obviously, that didn't happen. United is losing right now, 1-0.
it has been raining since last night. i'm guessing the pain finally got to me and i didn't as much sleep as i simply passed out from it. good times.
the Dayton Flyers won last night at home against #6 Marquette, 71-63. considering they were down 13 more than once in the game, i was really happy Dayton found a way to win.
