 so, i really wanted this blog to be a happy one, but i forgot what fucking world i am living in. i didn't have a mass shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs victory parade on my bingo card. just fucking crazy...

the Dayton Flyers won at home last night against Duquesne, 75-59. if you just looked at the score, you would never know Dayton was losing by double digits for a good portion of the first half.

here are your videos for this day of Black History Month.

NXT was good last night.

the season finale of Inside the NFL was very good last night.

be sure to tell the ones you love how much you actually love them. that is something i took for granted for too long in my life. now, i make sure to tell the precious few that i do love them.

may the rest of your valentine's day be divine.

Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Your Honor, the season finale of The Last of Us and Last Week Tonight.

Manchester United and Southampton played a 0-0 draw today. considering United was down to 10 men for more than half of the game (Casemiro got another red card), i'm fine with the draw. still mad at the red card though and some other shitty decisions made by Anthony Taylor today. every ref should know, if you are trending after a game is over, you did a fucking horrible job.

if Dayton wins today, i will be absolutely fucking glued to the selection show for the NCAA tournament later tonight. if they lose, i mean i'll still do some brackets, but i won't give two shits about them either.

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

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

trying to trick the mind...

 so, my mother has her surgery tomorrow for the skin cancer on her face. i'm trying to not think about anything or give her any negative vibes as her anxiety will do plenty of that to herself. my sister is coming down to take her to the facility. that way, i can actually sleep some and eat at my normal time in the morning. 

the Dayton Flyers whipped St. Bonaventure last night, 68-50. when the youngest team in America can beat one of the most experienced like that, i am so hopeful for the future. the boys are becoming men much faster than i expected.

NXT was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Batwoman, I Can See Your Voice and AEW Dynamite.

welcome to the weekend...

 so, for the last few days, when my body gets a large dose of pain, my reaction has been to go to sleep. not by choice mind you. it's kind of like the old Jason Isbell line about fading to black. not exactly how i would love to feel these days, but i know what the alternative is...

i did send out 13 poems today. 3 to The Beatnik Cowboy and 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash and Synchronized Chaos (already accepted for publication). when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Young Sheldon was good last night.

B Positive was very funny last night.

Clarice was excellent last night.

both episodes of Cake were weird as fuck last night.

Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

the New York Rangers had their asses handed to them last night, losing to Boston, 4-0.

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Yankees won today over the Tigers, 4-2.

i think mom and i are going to try to make some fish tacos tonight. it should be interesting.

i've been casually watching some college basketball the last few days. i have no dog in the fights, so i really don't give a shit. and given all the teams that have had to withdraw from the conference tournaments because of COVID, i'm not sure how the fuck they are going to pull off March Madness.

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

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

finally went out to eat in a restaurant...

and i know for some of you, calling Waffle House a restaurant is a fucking stretch, but it is what it is. mom and i went there after her doctor's appointment. i laughed when the waitress knew our drink order before we sat down. i thought everything was very clean and went well. i found a Canadian penny on the floor from 1976 while we were leaving. i'm thinking it could be a sign. of what, i have no fucking clue.

NXT was awesome last night.

AEW was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Holey Moley, Don't and Shelter in Place with Shane Smith. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays. in case that doesn't happen, here is a preview of the game:

i will probably have to make a run to the grocery store to pick up mom's prescriptions from her doctor's appointment. i'm hoping what they ordered will help her legs.

i got my test results back today. all my labs looked pretty good, although my liver is still fucked. so, not drinking alcohol for 3 months did it any good. oh well. my A1C hasn't changed for over 6 months now. i'm guessing 3 months from now, i shouldn't have much of a problem convincing them that i need some tweaks in my medication.

that's all for me today kids.

until tomorrow...

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck fascism.

fuck the police.

stay healthy.

trying to get everything done before the ice storm...

i'm busier than nine cats covering up shit in a wind storm today. my back has been killing me and i believe my prostate is enlarged. good times. i got to the pharmacy to get my pills that were supposed to be ready last Friday. there's 30 minutes of my life i'll never get back. and when i got home, i started my laundry. and then mom said something about First Four tickets and how she was having problems buying them. so, i bought them but the problem is, it looks like everything is electronic now and that is a minor problem for someone who doesn't have a cell phone. so, either i'll figure out how to get the tickets on paper or i'll be selling them and getting my money back. good times. on top of all that, i did do a little poetry work. i know where my next 21 poems are going. with any luck, i'll get those out tomorrow morning. the ice storm is supposed to hit sometime tonight. i'm not looking forward to it.

WWE Backstage was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be The Masked Singer, NXT, AEW and Miz & Mrs.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Toronto. i'd love to see the Rangers win tonight.

baseball season is getting closer. so, of course, the Yankees just had their first injury...

i'm very happy that the Red Sox traded Mookie Betts to the Dodgers. there's one headache the Yankees get to avoid this season...

that's all for me kids. i have one more load of laundry to get into the dryer and then i'm done.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get those poems out into the world.

i always love when the heat index hits somewhere around 100 and the humidity is slightly more crispy than fucking hell. that is basically the next few days here. can't wait to do the grocery shopping in this shit tomorrow.

the New York Yankees did get rained out last night, so they will play a doubleheader today against Tampa. i would love to see the Yankees win both games.

NXT was really good last night.

Big Brother was good last night. hopefully the casual viewer is now up to speed with all the assholes in the house this season. i do hope the blindside happens tonight and Cliff is the one voted out. that should be a big shit storm if that happens.

Snowfall was fucking brilliant last night.

i wrote 5 poems last night. i typed them up around 2 in the morning. i really think they are good. i'd love to write some more and then get another batch of submissions ready before the end of the month.

i might have got almost 3 solid hours of sleep last night. i had a hard time finding a comfortable spot for my right arm for most of the time. i always know when i see pillows on the floor that all i did was toss and turn for most of the night. good times.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after the trip to the grocery store. i'm hoping to get that done early in the morning, you know, sometime before it hits 100 degrees outside.

it currently feels like 92 here. in a few hours we start our excessive heat warning. that will last until Saturday night. joy.

that's all for me kids. until tomorrow...
