the day after...

 so, my birthday yesterday went pretty well. i was hoping to hear from more people, but that is the beauty of getting older. i was very happy with what mom got me. the Aaron Judge rookie card certainly surprised me. i went to the bank today to deposit my birthday money. after that, i went to Big Lots since i had a 15% off coupon for my birthday. they didn't have anything i was looking for.

the New York Rangers won last night in Anaheim, 5-2. i found out during the game that Jonathan Quick and K'Andre Miller also were born on January 21st. learn something new everyday.

i did watch both NFL playoff games yesterday. the Lions beat Tampa Bay, 31-23. the Chiefs won in Buffalo, 27-24. so, next week it will be Chiefs at Ravens and Lions at 49ers. winners go to the Super Bowl.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan was very good last night.

True Detective Night Country was excellent last night.

The Woman In The Wall looks like it will be very interesting to watch.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw.

i guess we have some ice coming in tonight that everyone is worried about. and of course, Rite Aid just texted me to let me know i have a prescription ready to pick up, joy.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

welcome to winter...

 so, i did get to the grocery store early today and made it back home in time to watch Manchester United. more on that in a bit. i tried my best to keep the grocery bill reasonable considering the list i was given was more like a scroll. i ended up saving $41 so the total of $209 was a little more palpable. so, we are fully stocked now. i wanted to do that just in case the weather truly turns to shit in the next few days. we're only supposed to get a few inches of snow, but when that is falling and the wind is blowing 60 MPH, i know it is going to be fucking crazy. and apparently everyone else shopping today was thinking the same thing. but, at least this time Kroger had more than two checkout lanes going.

Manchester United won today over Burnley in the League Cup, 2-0.

the New York Knicks won last night at home over Golden State, 132-94. they play Toronto at home tonight.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

the New York Rangers winning streak came to an end last night, losing in Pittsburgh, 3-2.

the Dayton Flyers had their first 40 point win last night in 10 years. they defeated Alcorn State, 88-46.

NXT was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, Hard Knocks and Homeward Bound: A Grammy Salute to the Songs of Paul Simon.

i did watch the Yankees press conference this morning to announce the signing of Aaron Judge and naming him the 16th captain of the New York Yankees.

they have another one tomorrow morning to introduce Carlos Rodon as the newest Yankee pitcher.

i believe i am making nachos for dinner tonight, so i need to get to work preparing all of that. 

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

until then kids...

fight the power.

i woke up to good news...

 so when i woke up this morning i got the alert that Aaron Judge was coming back to the Yankees on a 9 year $360 million dollar contract. that made me happy.

NXT was really good last night.

The Voice was good last night. 2 of my final 3 made it to the finals. hopefully i have the winner still on my team.

the season finale of Tales From The Territories was excellent last night.

i was shocked when i saw the price of gas today. after i took the discount at Kroger, i actually got gas for less than $2 a gallon. holy shit.

the grocery shopping went well today. i was able to find everything i was looking for.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, AEW Dynamite and The Masked Singer holiday special.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at Virginia Tech. considering who is still out for Dayton, i don't like their chances tonight on the road. 

the New York Rangers play tonight at Las Vegas.

the New York Knicks play tonight at home against Atlanta.

here are your NBA highlights from last night.

felt kind of weird with no World Cup games on today. i did keep track while i was out grocery shopping of the Manchester United friendly over in Spain.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i need to get my Christmas cards done and do mom's laundry. and at some point, i probably need to do my own laundry as well.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

the joy of being superstitious...

 so, when the second game of the Yankees doubleheader started last night, i decided to not watch. i looked at my mother and said i guarantee Judge will homer now that i'm not watching. sure enough, Judge hit the third pitch of the game into the left field seats for his 62nd home run of the season. so, at least to me, Aaron Judge is the clean home run champion. it is amazing to think that the top 3 in American League history are all Yankees (Ruth, Maris, Judge). the Yankees won the first game of the doubleheader yesterday, 5-4. they lost the second game, 3-2. they are losing the game today right now, 4-2 in the 8th inning. Judge is finally getting a day off.

NXT was really good last night.

Deadliest Catch was good last night.

The Voice was excellent last night.

Tales From the Territories was great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, AEW Dynamite, The Masked Singer and 4 episodes of Welcome to Wrexham.

the grocery shopping went ok today. my back decided to tell me to go fuck myself when i was at Kroger. so, bagging my own groceries became quite the chore. on top of that, i had to go to the eye doctor today to give them my mother's glasses. she's been waiting 2 fucking months for her new ones and they finally fucking told her today the lab would like to have the actual frames to put the lenses in. imagine that. i really wish they would have given mom the chance to get new frames, but she was the last appointment of the day and everyone wanted to fucking leave. so, i'm really hoping this speeds up the process of her getting her new glasses. 

she has a dental appointment tomorrow morning. that should be fun. i will hopefully be on here before Manchester United plays in the Europa League tomorrow, but in case i'm not, here is a preview of their game in Cyprus.

the New York Rangers play at home tonight against Boston. i'll probably watch a good bit of that.

my back is killing me at the moment, so that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

and sometimes, it is just pain...

 the beauty of a bad back is you are never quite sure when it is going to just tap out and say fuck off. i was having a good morning and then my back decided, not today asshole. so, i grabbed some ice and headed to my massage chair. 3 hours later, i was off for my adventure this afternoon. i had to go to Rite Aid since they didn't have one prescription ready when i was there yesterday. then, i headed to Meijer to get some things. of course, the main things i was looking for they didn't have. i then had to go back to the local grocery store to get the one thing mom forgot to put on the grocery list. and then i went to McDonald's to get her Frozen Coke. i always love a day when i am eating lunch after 5 PM.

so, it looks like i'll be on Amazon.com tonight trying to find a few things.

the Yankees won last night at Toronto, 8-3. Aaron Judge hit his 61st HR last night, tying the American League record set by Roger Maris in 1961. the Yankees are off tonight and start a series at home tomorrow night against Baltimore.

AEW Dynamite was really good last night.

The Masked Singer was crazy once again last night.

both episodes of Welcome to Wrexham were very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NJPW, Little Demon, Atlanta and Young Sheldon.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the New Jersey Devils. i'll probably watch some of that.

the NFL game tonight is the Dolphins at Bengals. i might check out some of that.

i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to her accountant. she has basically used up all her time to procrastinate about the 2021 taxes. 

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

all rise

the New York Yankees whipped the Royals yesterday 11-3. more importantly, Aaron Judge hit 2 more home runs to give him 50 on the season. that sets the major league record for rookies. the Yankees start a series tonight at home against Tampa. they basically need 1 more win to have home field advantage in the wild card game.

the New York Rangers won last night in OT over Philadelphia 3-2. all 3 wins at home this preseason have been in OT. if that trend keeps up in the regular season, i will surely have a heart attack. they finish the preseason tonight at Philadelphia.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty funny last night.

Young Sheldon was good last night, although it did seem like most of the funny shit was shown in the previews. i'm hoping the next episodes are better.

The Vietnam War was very good last night. it's painfully obvious to see the comparisons between Nixon and Trump. i believe tonight's episode will deal with what happened at Kent State.

The Voice last night was good. i'm going to enjoy Jennifer Hudson this season. these were some of my favorites from last night. hopefully there will be more tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Jim Jefferies Show, American Horror Story, The Vietnam War and The Voice. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i finally got a nice long hot shower in today. i definitely needed one.

i'll probably be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the Champions League.

i have trash to go pick up so that's all for me today kids.

apparently, it's monsoon season

i swear, for the last few days, just about every couple of hours there's a new rainstorm coming through. not exactly the greatest thing for my arthritis. i somehow managed to "sleep" through the pain last night. of course, i paid for it when every joint in my body cracked with that first step this morning. good times.

Aaron Judge hit the longest home run i have ever seen hit in Seattle last night and the Yankees won again, 5-1. 2 wins in a row, holy shit. they will go for the series win tonight.

Big Brother went pretty much how i thought it would go last night. Cody is back in the house and i found out last night that Jessica, his girlfriend, is the new HOH. and since she won the last temptation, that pretty much means her and Cody are safe for the next month.

NJPW was excellent last night.

Vice Special Report: A World in Disarray was very good last night. it detailed how the Iraq war was a complete clusterfuck from the beginning and how Obama dropped the ball with regards to Syria. more or less, we planted the seeds to all of this chaos and now with old fuck face as President, it's time to reap. i figure if i'm still around in the next 30 years, i will see a nuclear war.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH and Risk.

i will be watching the USA take on Costa Rica tonight in the Gold Cup semifinals. if the USA want to get to the finals, they will have to earn it.

i might watch some UFC tonight as well.

mom surprised me last night when she did the dishes before i had a chance to do them. i hope that means that she is starting to feel better again. i made sure to put them away and do the dishes from last night's dinner this morning.

i get the feeling i may do a little writing today or napping between soccer matches. at least i got the grocery shopping done between storms.

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

nothing quite like running a vacuum during a damn tornado

well, not quite a tornado but the wind was whipping somewhere around 80 mph while i was running the vacuum in the kitchen. i had to vacuum the whole house today because mom sneezed. i truly love that she is getting crazier as she gets older. like she's going to out-crazy me. please.

the storm knocked down some huge limbs here in the cul-de-sac. i had some solar lights come out of the ground. and of course that's in the part of our front yard that floods.

i did watch a good portion of the Home Run Derby last night. if the world didn't know about Aaron Judge before last night, they sure as hell know who is now.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i especially liked that they decided to keep Samoa Joe in the main event picture. and thank god the Kurt Angle drama will come to a head next week.

The Defiant Ones, Part 2 last night was mostly about N.W.A. i can still remember exactly where i was the first time i heard Fuck Tha Police.

i did write one poem last night after mom's physical therapy session. i haven't typed it up yet. i'm hoping a few more pop in my head before the end of the week.

i had a pretty good trip to the bank yesterday. the one teller that sort of knows who i am, who just happens to be this cute black woman as well, was the one working yesterday. she saw me walk up and smiled. i figure i'm reading too much into that. i made a quick one liner that made her laugh, which i took as a good sign. not good enough for me to engage further or anything. but... she did call me Mr. Campbell when she handed me my receipt. that's a good way to make me feel fucking old.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. The Defiant Ones, Part 3, Smackdown, Deadliest Catch and The Jim Jefferies Show. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i will probably also watch a little of MLB All Star Game tonight. i know Aaron Judge is batting third in the top of first inning, so i have no clue how much i will watch after that.

i did listen to the latest Jim Norton & Sam Roberts podcast today. you can find that by going here:

i'll be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to another doctor's appointment and to get some blood work done. joy.
