i never did like this day

i suppose i have always been an old soul. i love making people laugh but April Fool's Day is one of those who gives a shit days for me. of course, it does start national poetry month, which is a good thing, at least in theory.

i'm not really sure what i'm going to do for national poetry month this year. as i quickly brainstorm, i suppose the video of the day will be a poem each day this month. there, done with it.

the WWE Hall of Fame ceremonies were excellent last night. they were long as hell, but to see Kurt Angle douse himself with milk at the end of it was fucking worth it.

NJPW was excellent last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was fucking hilarious as always.

the New York Rangers lost in a shootout last night to Pittsburgh, 4-3. i figured they would lose since they can't win at home for anything now. at least they will be starting the playoffs on the road. they play tomorrow night against Philadelphia. i won't watch much of that game either.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

i will be watching NXT Takeover:Orlando for most of the evening on WWE Network. it should be amazing like all of the Takeover events have been.

i could tell from the first few minutes today that West Brom had come to Old Trafford and was looking for a 0-0 draw against Manchester United. that's exactly what fucking happened. not exactly the kind of frustration i wanted to start my day with.

i did watch the press conference for Anthony Grant this afternoon. i'm interested to see who he will have on his coaching staff and what recruits are still going to come to Dayton, if any. i did like what i heard from him about how Dayton will play. and i do know all the current players love that he has ties to the NBA.

i was really hoping the weather was going to be nice this weekend. instead i have the fucking furnace on as it is in the damn 30's outside. good times.

i suppose that's a good excuse to be inside and watch the Final Four tonight. Gonzaga vs. South Carolina and Oregon vs. North Carolina. or maybe not.

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

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...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

it must have come in with the rain

so as i was watching the third rain delay of the Yankees game last night, i was mumbling about the umpires truly fucked this one up. fast forward a few hours and as an obvious penalty doesn't get called in favor of Manchester United, the bad mojo becomes obvious. so now i'm in my room trying to play music to drown out the noise from the children and my sister's friends. i don't like people when i'm normal, why the fuck on earth would people expect me to like them when i'm pissed?

the New York Yankees did win last night, 7-5. that's 6 in a row and 10 games over .500 finally. they are now 1 game out of a playoff spot. hopefully they keep the ball rolling this afternoon.

Treehouse Masters was pretty cool last night. it was a montage of different treehouses from around the world.

NJPW was excellent last night.

the USA beat Canada last night, 4-2, in a World Cup of Hockey exhibition game. the game was chippy and physical as hell. that's exactly how the USA has to play if they want to get a medal in this competition. plus, anytime you fucking beat Canada, it's a great day.

so i woke up pretty damn early this morning to watch Manchester United play. i wish the players would have done the same. United was badly outplayed by Shitty in the first half. the only reason the score was 2-1 was Shitty's goalie making a mistake that ended up in the back of the net. United made a couple changes at halftime and really played much better in the second half. but, no luck in scoring. talk about starting my weekend with a shitty taste in my mouth.

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

i was hoping my sister would have had a better reaction to the coffee i got her. she mostly looked like she couldn't care less. i probably won't bother to ask if she makes it or not. i guess she'll enjoy the liquor though. i got her that as the gift from mom.

Ohio State plays Tulsa this afternoon. hopefully the damn kids are gone by then and Ohio State wins again.

i figure i will watch the college football game tonight played at the NASCAR track in Bristol, Tennessee. that should be pretty amazing.

i took mom to the chiropractor this morning. she can barely walk. i told her that she needs to call her doctor on Monday and get the fucking MRI done as quickly as possible. the two times she has gotten worse was both times after the prednisone ran out. so i'm guessing it's going to either be injections or surgery or both after the MRI. good times.

so most of this weekend i think i will be helping her.

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

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

another long day

i knew i wanted to get the grocery shopping done before the storms come tonight. but, i had no clue mom was going to hand me a scroll of items to go get. amazingly, i did manage to keep it under $100 (thanks to some coupons). i didn't take much time to enjoy the scenery today at the store. it's too damn hot and humid today. i wouldn't be shocked if we don't have some strong storms tonight.

the New York Yankees won yesterday 5-0 over Seattle. a great outing from Tanaka and Gary Sanchez went deep again. he even got walked intentionally twice later in the game. looks like someone is going to be a star. the Yankees are off today and start a series at home against Baltimore tomorrow.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. i think Victor will get voted out tonight and then either him or Paulie will walk right back into the house when the jury come back competition happens tonight. it should be interesting.

Tyrant was great last night. the old adage is always true: absolute power always corrupts.

NXT was mostly some highlights from Takeover Brooklyn II and the two dark matches before the event. it will be interesting to see what happens in the coming weeks.

the CWC was spectacular last night. all 3 matches were great. they are now down to the final 8. i don't think there will be a less than fucking awesome match from here on out. Tozawa vs. Gran Metalik, Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Noam Dar, Brian Kendrick vs. Kota Ibushi and TJ Perkins vs. Rich Swann. 4 amazing matches. i can't wait.

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother and Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll.

i urge everyone to check out the latest episode of the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast. you can find it by going here: http://notsam.com/wrestlingpodcast/2016/8/25/wrestling-podcast-96-kevin-owens-live-in-nyc

well, i got my fantasy football shit all lined up this morning. i even got some early fantasy hockey shit going.

the birthday gift i got my sister should be here in the next couple of days. i think she's going to like it.

i saw this today and thought it was rather appropriate:

i saw the New York Rangers made a very smart depth move today, signing Brandon Pirri. yet another guy with something to prove with plenty of speed. that's one thing they shouldn't lack this season, if they stay healthy. they have speed on every line now.

that's all for me kids. i really need to take a shower. i've been up since before 7 this morning as mom had an early appointment at the chiropractor's office.

until we meet again.

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