i wasn't using that hour anyway...

 i did remember to turn back the clocks last night. sometime today, i'll get around to checking the smoke detectors.

i did do a little poetry work last night. watch out for another blog post this afternoon about the poems i'm sending out later today.

Ohio State defeated Nebraska yesterday, 26-17. i hated that they never really tried to establish the running game. that nearly cost them the game against a team that really, is only good enough to cover the spread and that's it.

i did watch a few other games yesterday while doing my laundry.

the New York Rangers had their asses handed to them last night in Calgary, losing 6-0. as the coach said after the game, at least we're done playing Calgary this season.

Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Axios, Succession, Insecure, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Last Week Tonight, Hightown, the season finale of American Rust, Desus & Mero and Dexter: New Blood.

the New Orleans Saints play today at home against Atlanta. hopefully, the Saints will find a way to win again.

i should be on here tomorrow in the afternoon, sometime after i take mom to get her booster shot at Rite Aid.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the fucking shot.

la vida es un circulo, nunca olvides eso

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...

you would think i would be dead by now...

it was yet another night where i didn't fall asleep until after 4 in the morning. it's almost like insomnia and depression are the same anymore. good times.

the New York Yankees pissed away yet another lead last night and lost to the White Sox, 9-6 in 7 innings. thank god the rain got so bad they called the game. that's 4 losses in a row. joy.

i am absolutely shocked that Columbus won both games down in Tampa in the NHL playoffs. holy shit. halfway to one of the biggest upsets i can think of in NHL history.

i did watch some of the other games as well.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

NJPW was excellent last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was really good last night.

Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas was brilliant once again last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live and ROH.

my sports docket today is pretty full. between Manchester United, the New York Yankees, the NBA and NHL playoffs, the Masters and the national championship game of college hockey, it's going to be a pretty fucking full day.

i did listen to episode 233 of Notsam Wrestling late last night. you can find that by going here:

it's just a series of naps anymore...

i have watched so much damn wrestling in the last 12 hours, i almost am tired of it. i even surprised myself that i got up as early as i did this morning considering i didn't go to sleep until almost 2 in the morning. when i woke up a little over 3 hours later, i just laughed. more on that later.

the New York Yankees lost game 1 last night in Boston, 5-4. they got down 5-0 early and nearly came all the way back. if they want to win this series, they need to win tonight. i don't think they can beat Boston 3 games in a row.

VICE was really good last night.

NJPW was 4 hours long last night. it was really, really good. i would love to get out to California one of these days to see them live. it probably won't happen, but i can dream.

Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live and ROH.

i did watch the WWE Super Show Down this morning from Australia. it was better than i was expecting.

Manchester United plays this afternoon. chances are, i'm going to catch up on some sleep.

Ohio State plays at home later this afternoon against Indiana. i'm really hoping they don't have a let down after last week.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Buffalo. i'd love to see them get their first win of the season tonight.

i'll be flipping between that and the Yankees game tonight i suppose. i'm sure i'll probably watch some other college football games as well.

other than that, i guess i could use some sleep.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

sometimes the blind squirrel finds the nut...

i did go to the basketball game last night. i basically went to see the halftime act, Red Panda. i figured Dayton would lose to Davidson. well, well, well... Dayton started off much better than i expected. i thought it was going to be a great night as the asshole that normally sits next to me wasn't there by the first tv timeout. and just as i got happy, i saw the motherfucker walking with his beer up the steps. fuck me. Dayton was leading at halftime. the second half was a game of runs. sadly, i think Dayton's coach had them playing not to lose instead of trying to teach them the urgency of now. somehow Dayton got a little lucky and somehow survived a last second shot by Davidson. the shot actually should have never happened as Dayton still had 2 fouls to give. that would have eaten up the 3 seconds left rather easily. for some reason, i doubt the Dayton coach even mentioned that to his players. Dayton won 65-64. they play Saturday on the road against Saint Louis.

Smackdown was pretty good last night.

205 Live was pretty interesting last night. i'm really intrigued to see who they pick to be the GM of the show. i figure it will be a big name. that should help clean up the Enzo mess.

Mosaic was excellent last night. i can't wait to see what happens tonight.

Hate Thy Neighbor was as crazy as i expected it to be last night. i never understand why people disguise their hate as the word of god.

Baskets was pretty funny last night.

the New York Rangers lost yet again last night out in Anaheim, 6-3. they play tomorrow night in San Jose, hoping to not make it a completely fucking worthless road trip.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Mosaic, Total Divas and The X-Files. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

it's been somewhat rainy/snowy all fucking day. i fucking can't stand these dreary winter days.

mom has an eye appointment tomorrow afternoon. so it looks like i'm going to be driving her around for most of the day. physical therapy in the morning. eye appointment in the afternoon. pick up pills after that. i suppose i will try to squeeze in a blog after all that. i guess i probably should take a shower tonight.

and part of me thinks i should get the damn grocery shopping done tomorrow. but, it's also supposed to be 50 fucking degrees on Friday, so i might wait.

that's all for me kids.

happy Elvis is dead day

i have never really been a big fan of Elvis. that is probably due to my father being a huge fan. most of the men in my family that i remember growing up were fans. hell, i remember one cousin dreamed of being an Elvis impersonator. it was probably then that i questioned if i was adopted or stolen from another family. thankfully, i'm not old enough to really recall 40 years ago today.

is anyone really surprised the President is racist? or is it just the typical old man no longer with a filter that actually thinks there is such a thing as a good Nazi? and the silence from the Jews in his inner circles is baffling to me. i guess money can buy every fucking thing in this country, including your fucking soul. enjoy the shit show ladies and gentlemen. you wanted it.

the New York Yankees held on to win last night, 5-4. i do like that Gary Sanchez is heating up. and Sonny Gray finally got some damn run support. but, it might be time to try someone else as closer. they play tonight at the Mets. oh joy, National League baseball.

Smackdown was sort of odd last night. i guess the company lost faith in Baron Corbin, having him cash in the Money in the Bank contract and then having Cena help him lose. i guess i know what that means for SummerSlam. all in all, it's kind of scary how much better Monday Night Raw is at the moment.

205 Live was pretty good last night.

Hard Knocks was pretty funny last night. i do love watching Tampa Bay lose.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

The Jim Jefferies Show was fucking fantastic last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lucha Underground, Mr. Mercedes, Snowfall and Big Brother. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i do plan on watching the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup today between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Barcelona will have to score some away goals today to make it interesting.

it is hotter than shit today. i think it is easily in the 90's. i never like these days. one, i sweat so easily it's ridiculous. two, the heat really fucks with mom's Meniere's disease.

i think it is supposed to storm tomorrow, so it figures that i'll probably have to go to the grocery store. i'll probably be on here after all of that.

i'm really hoping i won't be sitting on the computer at 4 in the morning again like i was 12 hours ago. nothing quite like drinking and then having insomnia.

that's all for me today kids.

time to build the ark

i believe we are well over 2 inches of rain today. that was after some places around here had as much as 4 inches yesterday. oh joy.

i got my ass in gear this morning and decided to get the grocery shopping done before mom had her doctor's appointment. i was able to get everything and keep it under $100, thanks to about $25 in coupons. mom liked that.

i did almost get busted in the grocery store for being a pervert. this beautiful black woman had a summer dress that had both of her shoulders exposed. for some reason, a bare shoulder on a woman is an incredible turn on for me. at least i didn't start to drool.

mom's doctor's appointment went well. i stayed out in the waiting room and wrote. i ended up writing 6 poems, all of which are now typed up. i really, really like a few of them.

Big Brother was really good last night. it was so great to see the shocked faces when Jillian got evicted by a vote of 8-4. the shocked ones thought for sure it was going to be a tie and Cody was going to get to evict Christmas. even better, Paul is the new HOH. god i hope Cody or Jessica get evicted this week.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW.

i believe mom and i are going to go shopping in the morning. i'm very interested to see how she will do out and about with the new hip. she wants to get some new clothes as she has lost weight.

speaking of losing weight, i think i'm down about 30 lbs. now. i still have a long way to go, especially when i'm not really trying to lose the weight. eat less and do more. what a concept.

the New York Yankees start a series tonight at home against Milwaukee. the Yankees could really use a couple victories before the All Star break.

i will probably be on here tomorrow before the USA takes on Panama in the Gold Cup. i'd love to see this young squad do well in this tournament.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. the weather this weekend is supposed to be nice here after the rain finally leaves. i'll fucking believe that when i see it.

a very rare happy Monday

yes, you read that correctly. a very rare happy Monday.

i was thrilled last night watching the Yankees 3-0 win over Baltimore. great pitching from Kuroda and some timely hitting. plus, a game done in just over 2 1/2 hours. can't beat that. after a day off today, the next series is with Arizona. i guess i get to relive all the pain from the 2001 World Series again.

i did enjoy Veep and Nurse Jackie last night. and i got to catch the episode of Vice i missed from Friday night. i really love that show. only if all reporting could be like that...

the poet of the day on my Google+ page is RC Edrington. RC is one of the best poets i have ever read. if you haven't read any of his work, first off, shame on you, second, seek it out immediately. here is a link to his website: http://www.rcedrington.com/

some good news to report on the fantasy hockey front. i (somehow) came back from a 7-3 deficit to begin this week to win 6-3-1. thank god i've been in that kind of hole before and know how to manipulate a roster and the waivers system. off to the finals for me, first time in 3 years. of course, the guy i'm facing only finished nearly 15 games ahead of me in the division. needless to say, i have my work cut out for me.

i did watch about the last hour or so of The Masters yesterday. i did think it was kind of funny that i told my mother to watch out for Adam Scott the night before. of course, i told her that because i figured he would choke another one away. to say i was a bit surprised when he won would be an understatement.

the windows are open today. the birds seem thrilled with the new bird feeders. and mom got some wind chimes to replace the ones that broke last year. and of course, now that we have some again, i don't think the wind has picked up enough today for them to make a sound. figures.

i'm off to my afternoon nap before a night of flipping between Monday Night Raw and The Voice. and a handful of hockey games that i will analyze to death hoping to pick up some kind of advantage on my fantasy hockey opponent.

all things must end

so the Yankees finally lost after 10 wins in a row. it was bound to happen given that they still can't hit with runners in scoring position. and any game where you get 2 runners thrown out at the plate, you deserve to lose. the train ride starts back up tomorrow. hopefully.

watched a good bit of the NBA finals game 4 tonight. looks like the Heat have learned a few lessons.

funny how the internet has been screwy for me lately but make a phone call, bitch and moan, get some free shit and suddenly it's working fine again. interesting.

i'll be sending out 8 poems here soon to 2 places. more details to come.

enjoyed Deadliest Catch again tonight, maybe one of the best shows on tv.

took a nice nap during EURO 2012 today. between the heat and how England plays, a nap was much easier than paying attention. was nice to see Rooney playing again though.
