and here comes the snow...

 part of me is happy it didn't rain much before it started to snow. maybe we'll have less ice this time around. of course, it will all be melted in 2 fucking days as the temps will be back into the 60's. i'll get to drive in this winter shit tomorrow as i have to have the Highlander up to the dealership by 8 AM. that should be fun.

the New York Rangers lost last night in Saint Louis, 6-2. they play Saturday night in Dallas. 

the season finale of B Positive was pretty good last night.

both episodes of Vice News Tonight were excellent this week.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

United States of Al was good last night.

NJPW was good last night.

Dicktown was fucking crazy last night.

Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Real Time with Bill Maher and Painting with John. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight in the A10 Tournament against UMass. Dayton is a 10 point favorite, so i'm hoping they actually play good and advance. if that happens, they will play the winner of VCU and Richmond tomorrow afternoon.

Manchester United plays tomorrow against Tottenham. i'm hoping for the best, but after last week, who the fuck knows.

ok, that's all for me kids.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow, mostly because i have no clue how long i'll be at the car dealership. 

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

too good to be true...

 so, i woke up this morning after a hard 5 hours of sleep. i felt pretty refreshed. i made the coffee, had breakfast... was having a pretty damn good start to the day. and then let's say, unexpectedly, today became laundry day. i'm not sure if it was something i ate, or maybe the coffee triggered my gut, or maybe my inner child was literally hoping for shits and giggles. so yeah, the fun just kept getting better from there. i tweaked my back a bit while i was out feeding the birds. i figured i needed to do that before the fucking snow comes tomorrow (1-3 inches most likely). and bending down to get the clothes out of the dryer didn't help my back either. joy.

so, i guess the rich fucks in baseball finally have a deal to play this season.

AEW Dynamite was awesome last night.

The Masked Singer was crazy last night.

Snowfall was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Young Sheldon, United States of Al, the season finale of B Positive, Dicktown, Desus & Mero and NJPW. i did watch NXT UK this afternoon on Peacock. it was really good.

the New York Rangers play tonight at St. Louis. hopefully, the boys can get a victory tonight.

i guess they called in some pain pills for my mother. so, i'll be making a late trip to Kroger sometime tonight. hopefully they have them done before the pharmacy closes.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i think the Dayton Flyers play tomorrow evening, so i guess it will be before they play. 

i really need to go ice my back down, so that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

why the fuck was i awake at 6 this morning?

 i'm blaming it on the fact i went to bed around 2 AM. but, this also reaffirms my belief that i only get 4 fucking hours of sleep anyway. and today was one of those days i didn't get to take my little power nap that i like to get. joy.

i did take mom to her physical therapy today. her therapist said she is doing better. her new insurance covers all the appointments she needs to get better, so that was good to find out. i wrote 3 poems in the waiting area. i typed those up when i got home. they are pretty good.

Vice News Tonight had some great reporting last night from the war in Ukraine. i hope for a peaceful end to the war, but i also know Putin has no interest in peace. so, with it being like that, i hope the citizens of Ukraine kill as many Russian soldiers as it takes for the conflict to end.

Dicktown was fucking crazy last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Painting with John. i'll watch NXT Level Up tonight on Peacock.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the Devils. i'm really hoping the Rangers win and win big tonight.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning. the Dayton Flyers play Davidson tomorrow at 12:30. if i get a wild hair up my ass, i might go to the game. of course, that kind of depends on how my mother is doing in the morning. 

i hope everyone has a great weekend. the weather is supposed to be fucking crazy here, so who knows...

 well, i was glad i got the shopping done yesterday. today, winter came back. i think it was close to 40 degrees colder than yesterday was. fuck me.

the New York Rangers came from behind last night and defeated St. Louis, 5-3. that is one of those wins that gives me hope that this team has a long run in them when the playoffs come around.

AEW Dynamite was excellent last night. i about shit my pants when Tony Khan said he bought Ring of Honor. this is like the second and third biggest wrestling companies in the USA joining forces. if they do this right, it will be true competition for WWE.

mom just thought she was having a heart attack. she's not. but, i do know this is a fucking glimpse of my future now. good times.

I Can See Your Voice was good last night.

Snowfall was fucking fantastic last night.

the season (most likely series) finale of Batwoman last night was great.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Young Sheldon, United States of Al, B Positive, NJPW and Dicktown. i watched most of NXT UK this afternoon on Peacock. i guess they have changed it where you have to watch it when it is live and you have no chance to see it again. just fucking stupid.

i'm guessing at some point tomorrow mom is going to tell me what she forgot to put on the grocery list. i know i have to take her to physical therapy tomorrow. if i don't have to go shopping after that, i'll be on here most likely.

now, i need to figure out what the fuck i am making for dinner.

nothing like a good ice storm...

 i woke up this morning to the trees and grass just covered in ice. amazingly, the driveway wasn't that bad at all. i was able to get down to the street for the paper and mail without having to worry. mom didn't go to physical therapy today. she's not feeling well and with the amount of snot she's bringing up, i'm pretty sure she made the right call.

so, of course, i've been watching the videos of the war out of Ukraine. i'm hoping the capital doesn't fall, but i'm also a realist. i wouldn't put it past the Russians to kill the elected president of Ukraine on live television. god knows all Putin wants is his puppet government to run the country the way he wants. and i did see the stories about the Baltic nations wondering if they are next. that answer would be yes. this motherfucker is hell bent on reforming the Soviet Union before his puppet takes the throne. i swear, this is why i miss the threat of assassination of political figures. when that went away, these assholes knew there were no consequences for their actions. personally, i hope the sanctions cripple all those rich fucks in Russia and makes them obsolete from the world. now, i know they have more money than any fuck can imagine. and, i know the banks probably will play both sides of this because they love money more than they have morals (i know, i just choked on my laughter as well). i'm not a big fan of the USA getting involved in this shit, but i thought this was what the C.I.A. was supposed to take care of. oh well. keep fighting for your freedom. never let anyone take it from you. and i do hope the Molotov cocktails come in handy. 

the New York Rangers defeated Washington last night, 4-1. that made me happy.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

United States of Al was pretty good last night.

B Positive was hilarious last night.

i'm guessing i will be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the morning. that is my hope at least.

if not then, i will definitely be on here before the Dayton Flyers play tomorrow afternoon.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i hope the people of Ukraine get some help from NATO or who the fuck ever and fight off the Russians. and i honestly hope more famous Russians come out against the war but more importantly, come out against Putin. not doing that and just saying no to war isn't enough.

 i have friends, fellow writers, etc. that live in Ukraine. to say i'm a bit pissed and worried at the moment would be an understatement. what fuckhead Putin is trying to do is recreate the Soviet Union. he wants his legacy as a former piece of shit KGB spy, to be one of the great Russian leaders who rebuilt the communist empire. this is such a step backward from where this fucking world should be going, it pisses me the fuck off. now granted, i am not the biggest fucking fan of capitalism, but i am a fucking fan of freedom. so, anything we can do to support the FREE people of Ukraine, we should do. one example is what i just did:

now back to regularly scheduled programming...

the Dayton Flyers won last night over UMass, 82-61. when the offense is clicking and the defense is dictating tempo, Dayton is a fun team to watch. 

the USWNT defeated Iceland last night, 5-0. that was more like it ladies. congrats on winning the SheBelieves Cup.

AEW was great last night.

both episodes of Snowfall last night were excellent.

Miesha won Celebrity Big Brother last night. Carson won America's favorite houseguest. best part was probably watching Todrick learn everyone knows he's a fucking asshole.

I Can See Your Voice was good last night.

Batwoman was excellent last night. the finale is next week.

on the DVR tonight will be Young Sheldon, United States of Al and B Positive. i watched NXT UK earlier this afternoon on Peacock. it was good.

the freezing rain has started here now. thankfully, i got the paper and mail before any of that shit was hitting the ground.

mom is supposed to have a physical therapy session tomorrow. if it gets really icy, i doubt she will want to go.

i should be on here sometime in the afternoon tomorrow.

 so, we were supposed to just get some snow in the morning. instead, it has snowed all day long. now, it has only accumulated to about an inch or so, but still... i think i left the house for a couple minutes today, just to get the paper and the mail. 

the USMNT defeated El Salvador last night, 1-0. i wish they would have been more clinical in the final third, but i'll gladly take the 3 points and get one step closer to qualifying for the World Cup.

the New York Rangers pissed away a 2 goal lead last night and lost to Columbus, 5-3. they play Minnesota today at home. they are retiring Henrik Lundqvist's #30 tonight. it should be quite the ceremony. the team announced today that Adam Fox is on IR. i'm hoping he didn't break his wrist last night. he won't be back until after the All Star break.

i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. i do need to get up to Menards at some point and get a few things we need in the house. if the weather is somewhat decent tomorrow, i'll be on here after i get home. i do know, i'll have the blog done before the Royal Rumble starts tomorrow night.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i know the east coast is supposed to have one hell of a blizzard. best of luck to all my friends and enemies out there.

a wasted day...

 i had all these plans today, and instead of actually getting shit done, i spent most of the fucking day on the phone with Anthem, Rite Aid and the guy who set up my new insurance. well, it turns out what the main fuck up was, and i wish someone would have pointed this out to me way sooner than now, the guy who got me my new insurance put in my birthday incorrectly. so when i was telling everyone that i was born on January 21, all they saw on the computer was that Anthem had my birthday down as January 27. the woman at Rite Aid, when i was calling to get two prescriptions refilled, told me about the birthday mix up. so, i ended up having to call Anthem and go through the entire application process again. it also doesn't help that my mother claims me on her taxes. i'm not sure if Anthem truly understands that this insurance is for me. and they kindly didn't tell me that it would take 48 hours for the changes to go into effect. and people wonder why i get depressed and why i apologize to my 8 year old self on days like these. so, i guess by early next week i'll truly know what the fuck is going on with my insurance. if it still fucked up after all this, i will slip into the ether and i'm sure someone will be able to write a nice tragedy about my story.

also in Columbus tonight, the USMNT takes on El Salvador in a World Cup qualifying game. the USA really needs to win tonight. i would love if it would be decisively as well.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow. knowing my luck, i'll have another round of bullshit to tackle tomorrow. and it isn't like all the shit i wanted to get done today doesn't have to eventually get done. so yeah, it might as well fucking snow and whatever the fuck else to piss me off tomorrow and i'll just keep plowing through. eventually, my body will tap out and i'll be in my chair with ice on my back. with any luck, one day it will be a nice hard slab and they are putting me in to cremate me. of course, i'm not sure if anyone would actually want the ashes.

happy birthday to me

 so, the first thing i saw this morning was the death of Meat Loaf. and then later, i saw the news of the death of Louie Anderson. not exactly how i wanted to spend my 46th birthday, stewing in the news of two people that brought me great joy in my life and their deaths, which of course meant, i would be thinking about my own. my mother and sister got me some great presents this year; books, coffee, music, etc. all of which will be enjoyed.

this is going to be a quick one today as i think we're going to be eating dinner here soon.

i should be on here tomorrow sometime before Manchester United plays West Ham.

thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes. i really appreciate them.

 mom is back home from her surgery. she had the skin cancer from her face removed. the cancer was right above her lip, so of course, it was a little gruesome, at least from the picture my sister sent me. but, they got most of it on the first try. mom said he missed a little spot and got that the second time. they took some skin from her collarbone to graph to reform the lip. the stitches on the lip will dissolve. i have to take her Feb. 1st to the office to get the stitches removed on her collarbone. fun times. 

today would be my grandmother's 110th birthday. part of me laughs at what she would think about this fucked up world now.

the New York Rangers defeated Toronto last night, 6-3. my family knows how i get, so when the Rangers got down 2-0 last night, i turned the game off. so, i did follow the game on my phone, but i know there was enough stress in the house already. i love that Ryan Reaves had his first two goals as a Ranger last night.

frustration, say hello to my good friend depression...

 so, i had this feeling in the back of my head that my healthcare bullshit would only get more fucking crazy today. i was right. i believe what is going on is Anthem never cancelled my old policy that was supposed to expire on Dec. 31, 2021. that is why my new insurance, that is nearly $1,000 cheaper than my old policy, isn't showing up when it should be as it started Jan. 1, 2022. so, i had requested Anthem to call me between 3 and 3:30 today so i could get all this shit figured out. mind you, i also talked to Rite-Aid and asked them to transfer my prescriptions from Kroger to the Rite Aid in the town i live in. of course, that never happened. neither did the fucking call from Anthem. so, i went back to Kroger and got in line to get my fucking pills, mostly because i would run out of these starting tomorrow. i took a GoodRx card with me, hoping it would lower the prices. the lady asked me if i had insurance and i explained to her what was going on and told her i wanted to use the GoodRx card because i need these pills. she understood and put the card into the system. that brought the prices down from $75 to less than $35. that works for me. i paid for them and thanked the lady very much. i still need to figure out the chaos going on with Anthem, but at least i have one less fucking thing to be stressed out about. 

it was colder than fuck today. i believe the wind chill definitely got under 0 last night.

so, i was saddened to see that Sidney Poitier died today. one of my favorite humans to ever walk the face of the earth.

the New York Rangers lost at Vegas last night, 5-1. i should have known it was coming when their starting goalie got placed on the COVID list right before the start of the game.

i do believe we're finally going to take down the Christmas decorations this weekend. 

the scab finally came off on my middle finger today. i have a little hole on the right side of my middle finger. as much as i use that fucker in this world, i understand.
