i had to get a prescription for mom so i figured i would just do the grocery shopping today. thankfully, her insurance covered the prescription. that brought it down from over $1,000 to around $180. i got everything that was on the grocery list. plus, i needed to fill up the Highlander. it was a pleasant day out. enough sun that most of the snow has melted. of course, it is supposed to rain tomorrow. that's another reason why i did the shopping today.
here are your links for this day of Black History Month:
i got up around 8 this morning. it was nice enough last night that i was able to turn off the AC and open up the house a bit. that was also the plan this morning. of course, it had to start raining as soon as i got the newspaper inside. thankfully, that has stopped. hopefully, it won't rain again for the rest of the day.
after i get this done, i need to vacuum the house and get some poems written. good times.
Smackdown and 205 Live were excellent last night. i could watch Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles wrestle forever and never get bored.
Real Time with Bill Maher was really good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be ROH.
i'm not sure what i'll be doing this afternoon, other than writing. i might have some pills to pick up for myself. most likely, that will happen tomorrow. i suppose if i want to nap, i might put on some golf.
i just checked and i guess the last of my Amazon order is supposed to be here today. that will make me happy.
i will probably be on here early tomorrow. with wrestling and all the Sunday night shows happening tomorrow, i'll be a busy boy.
i'm off to go vacuum.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

i do plan on watching most of the college football final 4 playoff games today. i'll miss some of Clemson vs. Notre Dame but i will get to see most of Alabama vs. Oklahoma.
i managed to get my laundry done and a nap in last night before dinner. i don't think the nap was the reason i was up until 4 in the morning. i think it was more to do about my inability to shut my damn brain off.
i will probably be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

i did get all of my Christmas shopping done last night. 7 things for my sister and 7 things for my mother. hopefully they like what i got. i usually do a pretty good job of getting things they like or understand it's for shits and giggles.
i had a nice, long conversation with the muse last night, probably around 2 1/2 hours. i will once again say publicly, if this isn't the woman i'm supposed to spend the rest of my life with, i'm truly fucked.
the season finale of Total Divas was pretty good last night.
NXT was good last night.
205 Live was really good last night.

the New York Rangers play at Ottawa tonight. hopefully, they can beat them again this week.
the New Orleans Saints play tonight at Dallas. i'd love to see the Saints win their 11th game in a row tonight.
the conclusion of the MLS playoffs second leg of the semi-finals is tonight. Atlanta United at New York Red Bulls and Portland Timbers at Sporting KC.
Sevilla for the most part really outplayed Manchester United today. but, they couldn't get past the best keeper in the world.
i believe fucking ridiculous comes to mind after that save. in the end, it was a 0-0 draw. the second leg will be in Manchester in 3 weeks. hopefully United puts them away and moves on.
team USA men's hockey team lost in a shootout last night against Czech Republic. the USA simply didn't create enough chances in the game, and didn't cash in when they did create either. you can't have a power play in OT and not get a shot on goal. that game kept me up all night. i know deep down they aren't as good as the Czech team but the game was there to be won. Czech Republic 3 USA 2.
the Dayton Flyers did not play well last night until mid way through the second half. either Saint Louis ran out of gas or Dayton fucking woke up. but, for the second time this season, Dayton has now won 2 games in a row. considering their next game is at Rhode Island, i hope they enjoy this victory. Dayton won 53-50.
Smackdown was okay last night, but could have been so much better.
205 Live was excellent once again last night.
Baskets was hilarious last night.
Hate Thy Neighbor showed just how much ignorance there is in this fucking country.

i did hear from Pyrokinection last night on the poems i sent earlier this week. they decided to pass on the 3 i sent.
i did write 10 new poems yesterday while in the waiting room at mom's physical therapy. i typed those up last night and i really like them. that puts me at 40 poems for the month. i might try to squeeze a little more out before the month ends.
after mom's therapy we went to The Rusty Bucket. it was much better than i was expecting.
i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. we're supposed to get a ton of rain tomorrow, so i figure most of the day i'm going to be in fucking pain.

it's pretty funny. i've been bitching and pleading for the New York Rangers to call up the kids all fucking season. now that the injuries have started piling up and the management is ready to blow it up, the kids are playing. and imagine that, the Rangers actually won last night. of course, their backup goalie got injured during the game, but that's par for the course now. the Rangers defeated Calgary 4-3 last night. i really thought the two kids on defense played really well for their first NHL game last night. hopefully that's a sign of things to come.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
Real Time with Bill Maher was great last night.
High Maintenance was excellent last night. easily the best episode i think they have ever made.
Celebrity Big Brother was pretty good last night. i do love some chaos.

mom finally got released from the hospital today. she was very happy to break free as she put it. she wanted to get some food as soon as she left, so i took her through the Burger King drive-thru (her choice). once she got back home, it took her a little time to figure out the best place to sit, etc. she's now back in her room and my sister is here for the weekend. the home health nurse will be here tomorrow at some point. i figure if we can make it through the weekend without killing each other, we'll be off to a good start.
i did write 7 poems last night. that finished off a notebook i started in November of last year. 7 months ain't bad, at least for me. i typed the poems up before i went to get mom from the hospital. i think all of them are pretty good.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
Lip Sync Battle was pretty fucking good last night.

the New York Yankees start a series with the Oakland A's tonight. i hope they get a victory as i certainly need a drink.
i did watch a little of the basketball game last night. if Cleveland wins the finals again this year, i'll go ahead and anoint LeBron as the best basketball player EVER.
i ended up watching most of the hockey game last night. you can't ask for more than a Game 7 that goes into 2OT. the Stanley Cup Final will be Nashville vs. Pittsburgh. i couldn't care less who wins.
i have no idea when i'll be on here tomorrow or at all this weekend. i get the feeling that my sister and i are going to be running around like chickens with our heads cut off while waiting for mom to make up her mind on what she wants and needs.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. if you are enjoying the Memorial Day weekend festivities wherever, be safe and be sure you have bail money.

there's a chance for snow this evening. hopefully i'm drugged into a coma and miss it.
Smackdown was excellent last night. i think they set up their Elimination Chamber ppv this Sunday rather nicely.
205 Live was great as well. i think i'm certainly going to enjoy Jack Gallagher vs. Neville in a few weeks.
Taboo was fucking dark as hell again last night. i think i had just enough NyQuil and rum in me that it started to make sense.
The Dayton Flyers did exactly what i thought they would do last night. Saint Joseph's was shorthanded with 3 starters missing. so, of course, Dayton thought the game was going to be easy and played down to its competition. thankfully, they changed things around in the second half and avoided that landmine. Dayton won 77-70.
the New York Rangers won last night 4-1. The King stopped 43 of 44 shots. i still have a victory beer coming to me.

Austin City Limits was excellent last night, mostly because of one of my favorite bands, St. Paul & The Broken Bones.
ROH was really good last night.
Saturday Night Live was hilarious (sometimes), sloppy (most of the time) and pretty good last night. you could tell Kristen Stewart was nervous as hell, which probably explains saying the word fucking on network tv. but, Melissa McCarthy's version of Sean Spicer saved the whole damn show, it was fucking fantastic.

NXT TakeOver: Toronto last night was great. the tag team match between The Revival and #DIY was fucking spectacular. i was so happy for Gargano and Ciampa last night. and i hope The Revival gets the call to go to either Raw or Smackdown, they deserve it. i was a little stunned that Samoa Joe defeated Nakamura, but i guess that sets up another match between them. all in all, a great show that will probably be better than Survivor Series tonight. hopefully, i'm wrong.
Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night. i enjoyed the whole show. two weeks in a row, that has to be a fucking record.
Austin City Limits was really good last night.
ROH was good last night. i do love me a heel Colt Cabana. add that to a feud with Dalton Castle. just take my money now.

the New York Rangers play Florida tonight at home. hopefully the boys get back on the winning track.
it was good to see that the high school i went to has made its 7th straight final four in high school football.
so i guess we sort of just went from a late summer to fucking winter now. the only good thing about the winter is it is a fashion show for fat people.

remember when the Cubs won the World Series and i said welcome to the apocalypse, the world is coming to an end. and you thought i was joking.
truthfully speaking, i didn't like any of the candidates running for President. the only person involved in government that comes close to my way of thinking is Bernie Sanders. but i never truly thought this country would be so fucking stupid. i forget who said it first, but it's a statement that i have remembered since i was in high school.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE IGNORANCE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
i feel sorry for my sister and my mother. and honestly any woman in this country that actually thinks this country believes they are equals to men. it's painfully obvious that so many in this country don't think that way or choose to never believe it. the number of white women that gleefully just elected a person who brags about sexual assault is not only confusing to me but quite frankly, fucking disgusting. i wonder if these will be the same women bitching when Roe v. Wade gets overturned or when there suddenly are no women on the Supreme Court anymore. but, part of the blame deserves to be on Hillary as well. only someone in the elite of this country could actually believe that you deserve to be the President because it is your turn. this should signal the time for the entire Clinton part of the Democratic party to go away.
also, the news media, as i have told many of you for years, never tells you the truth. Ray Bradbury told an audience i was in years ago to never listen or watch the local or national news. go find the truth for yourself.
as someone who went to a black high school, i learned very quickly in life that being a racist would get me killed. it's appalling to me that so many fucking whites in this country didn't get the chance to learn that lesson. and now, they feel like they have a voice at the table since their leader just got elected. how the fuck did people actually believe that racism ended when Obama got elected? i'll be shocked if the KKK doesn't ask for a meeting at the White House at some point in the next 4 years.
lastly, i hope the people that voted for Trump do realize, you did not elect a President, you elected a King. politicians govern, kings rule. and Trump will rule, trust me. he has NEVER given two shits about the poor at anytime in his fucking life. anything coming out of his mouth about it now is complete and utter bullshit. what is even worse is the Vice President Elect. here is a man that believes women should have the rights they had in the 1800's and nothing more. and i'm sure the religious right is thrilled that he is there to push their backward ass agenda for this country. so many poor white people truly believe that a rich old white guy is going to give them the magic ticket one day. this is how people get rich you dumb fucks, taking advantage of you stupid people.
and people have the fucking gall to ask me why i don't vote. this is exactly why. i do not want to be associated with the stupid fucks who think their civic duty is to pick the lesser of two evils.
now i must figure out which pro marijuana state i am moving to or find some really cheap property in Costa Rica and never come back.
----
add on top of that bullshit last night, the New York Rangers lost to a Vancouver team that had lost 9 games in a row, 5-3. just one of those nights where nothing went well for the boys. they couldn't get anything going and they paid for it. they are off until the weekend.
i did see that the Sacramento Kings won again last night. that's 2 in a row now.
Smackdown was pretty good last night. it at least provided me a decent distraction from the election.

i heard back on my poetry submission from Easy Street yesterday. they decided to pass on the 5 poems i sent. i did appreciate the comments on why the poems weren't accepted. that definitely will be remembered.
i wrote 5 poems this afternoon after a quick trip to the grocery store to get mom's medications. surprisingly, only 2 were about the election. i've got a stack to send out here in a few days probably.
that's all for me today. i've got to figure out what i'm going to do for health insurance when the Republicans kill Obamacare and replace it with what we used to have. especially considering i am a Type 2 diabetic now, it will be interesting.

the New York Yankees pissed away a good game on offense with some shitty middle relief pitching to lose 7-5 last night in Seattle. Gary Sanchez did become the first Yankees rookie to have 8 home runs in his first 19 games. that's something DiMaggio, Mantle, etc. never did. the kid is fucking amazing. hopefully they find some middle relief pitching that is amazing as well. they play again tonight.
Monday Night Raw was interesting last night. Finn Balor had to give up the Universal Championship because of injury. he'll be out 6 months because of shoulder surgery. i feel so damn bad for him. next week they will crown the new champ in a fatal 4 way (Rollins vs. Reigns vs. Big Cass vs. Owens). i'd love to see KO win it. The Dudley Boyz called it a career last night. thankfully, they passed the torch to Gallows and Anderson and went through the table. what i'll probably remember the most from last night was Bayley finally making her Raw debut. it's long overdue. all in all, not a bad show.
i did watch the first five episodes of Holy Foley last night on WWE Network. it's more or less like most of their "reality" shows, cringe worthy bad with a few sprinkles of great. i did enjoy all the time with Becky Lynch and how emotional Mick Foley got when seeing the Hell in a Cell cage in WWE storage. that is one of the biggest HOLY SHIT moments in the history of professional wrestling.
i also watched the first two episodes of the CM Punk documentary the UFC did. i admire Punk for doing this. i wish he was this open during his wrestling career. hopefully he will do well and shut up all the fucking critics.
