so long to a legend...

 so, this blog was going to be about the heat today, blah blah blah, and then i got the news that one of my favorite wrestlers of all time had died. Terry Funk was one of the few guys i remember seeing back in the late 70's when i was really young. to see him in ECW 20 years later wrestling with barbwire and baseball bats on fire was a fucking mindfuck to say the least. he was the constant entertainer and a way better wrestler than anyone ever gave him credit for. thanks for all the memories, rest in peace.

the Yankees lost last night at home to the Nationals, 2-1. 

 NXT was very good last night.

Deadliest Catch was good last night.

Don't Forget the Lyrics was pretty good last night.

Hard Knocks was very good last night.

the grocery store wasn't too bad today. i'm guessing the heat was a little too much for most people. i believe the feels like temp has been around 100 all day long. good times.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

i think i will watch at least some of the Inter Miami vs. FC Cincinnati game in the US Open Cup semifinals tonight.

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

i know tomorrow is supposed to be hotter than fucking hell.

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

now i remember why i hate people

after going to 5 different stores today to get all the shopping done, i remember why i never loved doing this shit before. two assholes together does not make a party. i admit, i am an asshole. i don't like people, i don't smile, i'm not overly polite and i don't have much time for fake shit. the world of 2019 is mostly fake shit. that's why i laughed my ass off today when i saw this absolutely stunning woman in the grocery store, i mean drop dead fucking gorgeous, and she looked so fucking pissed to be where she was at that exact moment. i howled with laughter. and with all the shit we needed, plus gas, i probably dropped a good $200 today. thank god my credit is fucking good.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

The Big Bang Theory was hilarious last night.

Young Sheldon was very good last night.

Lip Sync Battle was really good last night.

Gotham was great last night.

Will & Grace was fucking crazy last night.

Desus & Mero was very good last night. so happy they are on Showtime now.

the New York Rangers lost last night to Minnesota, 4-1. trade deadline is on Monday.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW, WOW, Real Time with Bill Maher and 2 Dope Queens.

i think i am going to the Dayton Flyers game tomorrow. and i know the Rangers play early tomorrow afternoon. so, i guess the blog will be done in the morning.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. the weather is supposed to fucking crazy here. if we get all the wind and shit they are talking about, i will be drinking myself into a coma at some point.

until tomorrow morning kids...

and then someone takes your breath away...

the grocery store was rather interesting today. i ran into some people i have known since i was a child. of course, it has been probably a decade or so since we last spoke. that happened about 3 minutes after i walked in the store. i was going around in my usual fog trying to get everything on the list. i had to go back to the side of the store i started off on as i had forgot something mom added to the list. i usually try to be a good guy when i'm out in public, always allow the women to go first, etc. help old black ladies out reaching shit, stuff like that. i ran into this amazing looking woman 3 different times in the store. each time we both kind of smiled and if i was a smooth motherfucker, i'm sure i would have said something funny. instead, this woman simply took my breath away. i managed to crack what i believe is a smile but what i saw from her was a casual smile that i read as get this fucking creep away from me. and here i thought cleaning up the beard and taking a shower was going to be beneficial for me.

i figure that is why i bought some cinnamon schnapps in the liquor store today. i told mom a shot of that and she'll sleep for the entire weekend. hopefully it would knock out her cold that she is still battling.

the New York Rangers ran into a goalie that owns them last night and lost to the Islanders 3-0. the Rangers had 50 shots on goal in the game. it was simply one of those nights.

i did watch team USA defeat Slovakia last night 2-1 at the Winter Olympics. that sets up a pretty big game tomorrow morning against Russia.

Vice News Tonight was very fascinating last night. the entire episode was basically people talking in different groups about the #MeToo movement.

Lip Sync Battle was fucking stupid last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW, Celebrity Big Brother, Treehouse Masters, Real Time with Bill Maher, High Maintenance and 2 Dope Queens.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the FA Cup.

we had over 1.5 inches of rain last night. that cold front took the temperatures from 60 into the 30's. good times.

i guess tonight will probably be another night of drinking myself to sleep.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. hopefully the weather is better wherever you happen to be.

and the train keeps rolling

i was very pleased with how Manchester United played today. going on the road is never easy in the Europa League. i guess the 3-0 lead from the first game certainly helped. United won today 1-0, despite having to play the last 30 minutes of the game with 10 men. now, i didn't like the injuries to Carrick and Mkhitaryan, as they will probably miss the League Cup Final this Sunday. but, with how United is playing now, their depth is certainly coming in handy. they are now on to the final 16 of the Europa League. hopefully they will be raising their first trophy of this season on Sunday.

the Dayton Flyers won last night 83-70 over George Mason. it was almost like watching a NBA game. it was a game of runs. Dayton would get up by 10 and then it was right back down to 1. Dayton had a 20-0 run in the second half that sort of put the game away. that all happened with the starters on the bench. the sophomore class has started calling themselves the 2K19 gang. they were responsible for most of that 20 point run. John Crosby, normally a human turnover for most of the season, played his best game of his career last night. 3 huge three pointers and no turnovers. easily, player of the game.

that's 100 wins for the senior class and a guaranteed double bye in the A10 tournament. next game is on Friday at Davidson. hopefully the boys aren't looking past that one, as the huge game against VCU is after that.

the New York Rangers lost to Montreal last night 3-2 in a shootout. i didn't get to see any of the game as it was over by the time i got home. at least they got a point. they next play tomorrow at Toronto.

i thought Smackdown was really good last night.

205 Live was really good as well.

Taboo was spectacular last night. i can't fucking wait to see what happens next week on the season finale.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i had to make a trip to the grocery store today to get some prescriptions for mom. she thought she had 2 but they only had 1 ready. of course, i wasn't expecting it to cost almost $200. good times.

my sister starts her new job in a few days. best of luck to her after so many years in one place. i told her to look at the bright side. if she likes her new job, she probably can work 10 years, take early retirement and then just travel the world for the rest of her life.

i have no damn clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i'm running on just a few hours of sleep today, so i'm guessing it won't be early tomorrow.

waiting for a storm

well, the assholes that do the weather on the local news can't make up their minds on which dire forecast to predict. are we getting the 10 inches of snow that will stop everything around here or are we getting an ice storm that's going to bring down power lines and freeze all of us to death? if i had to choose, i'll go with the snow. i've lived here long enough to know we'll get neither. but i'm getting my mind ready to battle with my arm just in case.

i've been in a pretty shitty mood all day long. the sun has decided to take the day off. you can just tell it wants to snow so damn bad but nothing is hitting the ground yet. but that doesn't stop it from fucking with my bones. i've been aching all damn day long. doesn't help that i didn't sleep for shit last night. hopefully the next trip to the doctor's office yields better results than this last one.

Monday Night Raw was really hit or miss last night. didn't really help me escape from my pain.

tonight, the New York Rangers are back in action against Colorado. i'd love to see a win mostly just so i can have a victory beer.

other than that, i imagine i'll be watching it snow this evening. if the arm is feeling good enough, maybe i'll try to do something creative. if not, i'll be in my recliner trying to sleep.

a big thank you to Michelle Mattila for her lovely comments about my book, Sofisticated White Trash. that's certainly one way to take my mind away from this shitty day.

well, the pain pills are starting to fade. that's all for me. i hope everyone is well. i hope you don't have a shitty storm coming your way. and i hope your mind isn't consumed with pain.

later.
