we have a wicked cold front getting ready to come through here tonight. it was in the 60's today. they just said on the weather that it won't make it to the 40's tomorrow. good times.
grocery shopping went pretty well today. my pinched nerve didn't fuck with me too much. now, when i got home and mom was still asleep... that was when my pinched nerve decided to be an asshole. but, i got all the groceries in and put away. i got mom a Pecan Snickers bar when i was in the checkout lane. i figured when i saw that she was still asleep, she would eat it for her breakfast at 4 in the afternoon.
the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Calgary, 2-1. if they are going to play like that the rest of the season, they will not make the playoffs.
i did watch some of both games of the First Four last night. Alabama State won with a crazy fucking ending. North Carolina beat the piss out of San Diego St.
tonight, Mount St. Mary's plays American and Xavier plays Texas.
NXT was really good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, The Masked Singer and Abbott Elementary.
the Dayton Flyers play at Florida Atlantic tonight in the NIT.
i will probably watch some of the First Four tonight.
i will most likely be on here in the morning tomorrow, hopefully before the NCAA tournament games begin.
i know the USMNT plays Panama tomorrow night.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
the guy from AAA couldn't believe the battery he was replacing last night was 9 years old. he was like, this new one has a 3 year warranty on it. i don't know if it will last 9 years, but it should work great. and it did. the Highlander started right up. that certainly took some stress off of mom's mind. $226 well spent in my mind. the AAA guy was only here about 15 minutes total.
the New York Rangers lost last night at Colorado, 3-2, in OT.
i did get the 3 poems i needed to write done last night. so, i have all 40 ready to go. i just need to get them sent to JPR, which i figure i will do either tonight or tomorrow.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
i didn't get to sleep last night until 5 this morning. i did manage to write 3 poems last night. more on that in a bit. i woke up around 9:45 this morning and checked my phone. i believe the first words were what the fuck. being 48 years old, i'm no longer surprised by the violence, or the lack of humanity anymore. what really pisses me off anymore is how this country turns a blind eye to homegrown terrorists. we still operate with this mentality that our enemies are nations, etc. i always thought this was why we could never win in Vietnam. we don't understand guerillas or the lone wolfs that get radicalized. and we still don't. the Sugar Bowl tonight between Georgia and Notre Dame has been postponed to tomorrow night. i'm sure the death total will rise and lord knows how many IEDs they are going to find around the French Quarter. the terrorist in question is 42 years old and an American citizen. from Texas of course. just fucking crazy...
so, on the 3 poems i wrote last night. i need to write about 40 poems that will be for my new book, untitled as of now. John Patrick Robbins from The Rye Whiskey Review wants to publish a book of poems of mine. i have always enjoy working with JPR, so i am definitely going to jump at this opportunity. so, i basically am going to write poems for the book specifically that no one will see until the book is published. i also am going to try to write poems for the places i send to as well. what this actually means is i won't be sleeping for the next 5 months. good times.
i finished the grocery shopping yesterday and got home in time to watch the second half of Dayton vs. LaSalle. Dayton won the game 84-70.
team USA defeated Canada last night, 4-1, to win Group A at the World Juniors. the USA will play Switzerland on Thursday in the quarterfinals.
oh goody, now the FBI believes the terrorist, who was in the US Army by the way at some point, didn't act alone in this. why do i think this is now becoming an old episode of Homeland?
the college football playoff game last night between Penn State and Boise St. was won by Penn State, 31-14.
NXT last night was ok.
Hard Knocks last night was very good.
Texas is leading Arizona St. 17-3 at halftime in their college football playoff game today.

Ohio State tries to get its revenge today against Oregon in the Rose Bowl. winner will play the winner of the Texas vs. Arizona St. game in the semifinals of the college football playoffs.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i know at some point i need to get my driving license renewed before my birthday on the 21st. i also have a doctor's appointment on Friday. joy.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my first published poems of 2025:
i hope 2025 is a great year for all of us. i know that is impossible as so many of us tend to slip through the cracks of this world. i just hope this blog can continue to be a little ray of whatever you need it to be to keep your head above water.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, i have done my best as i have aged to be more optimistic. yesterday was an example why there will always be a part of me that knows such bullshit is a farce. Ohio State lost yesterday at home to Michigan, 13-10. Ryan Day has now lost 4 straight games to that team. that hasn't happened since the late 80's to early 90's. as i told my mother last night, he'd be lucky if his house wasn't burnt to the ground by this morning. while i do believe Ohio State will make the playoffs, i won't be shocked when they lose in the first round and everyone is fucking fired.
the New York Rangers tried their hardest to fucking lose yesterday but managed to end their losing streak, defeating Montreal at home, 4-3.
the USWNT and England played a 0-0 draw yesterday.
WWE Survivor Series War Games was really good yesterday.
AEW Collision and AEW Rampage was ok last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Somebody Somewhere and two episodes of The Agency.
so, i did get up in time this morning to watch Manchester United absolutely destroy Everton today, 4-0.
the New Orleans Saints play today at home against the Rams. hopefully, the Saints will find a way to win.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
the Yankees lost at home to the Royals, 4-2. the series is now 1-1. Game 3 will be at the Royals.
the New Orleans Saints lost last night at the Chiefs, 26-13. Derek Carr injured his oblique last night and will be out for the next couple of weeks. neither of the Saints backups have much experience, so what i thought was going to be a great season now has turned to absolute shit.
The Voice was pretty good last night.
Monday Night Raw was good last night.
mom and i got our COVID vaccines today at Kroger. thankfully, i made the appointments online and that saved a ton of time. we were done before mom's appointment was supposed to start. joy.
i think i was so angry last night that i actually got close to 6 hours of sleep.

i didn't get to sleep until 5 AM. i didn't wake up until 11:15 AM. now, i wish it would have been 6 straight hours of sleep, but i don't live in that fantasy world. i didn't eat breakfast until 1 in the afternoon. good times. after that, i had to vacuum the house. mom told me to do it in the morning. of course, she didn't wake up until 12:30. i took a weed gummy because my back is absolutely killing me. after i get this done, i'm going to ice my back down and hopefully be high enough that i enter a few different dimensions while taking a nap.
the USMNT at the Olympics defeated New Zealand yesterday, 4-1.
the Yankees won last night at Boston, 11-8, in 10 innings. hopefully, they will win the series tonight. they did make a trade yesterday that will hopefully be good for the offense.
Manchester United lost last night to Arsenal, 2-1. two players got injured last night, Yoro and Hojlund. i'm hoping they won't be out for long. United did win the penalty shootout after the game, so there's that.
AEW Collision and AEW Battle of the Belts were both pretty good last night.

the USWNT takes on Germany today at the Olympics.
since i woke up late, i only watched some of the USA men's basketball game today against Serbia. the USA won, 110-84.
i should be on here tomorrow before i take mom to her physical therapy appointment.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

i couldn't get my back to calm down last night. no matter how i tried to sleep, it was useless. eventually, at 5 AM, i finally went to sleep. mind you, i was in bed before 3 AM. i'm not sure if it is stress or actual pain that is fucking with me at times. the weed gummies are helping, but the last thing i want to do is rely on them 24/7. oh well.
so, i checked the Kroger website this morning and holy shit, all my prescriptions were there. so, i called and got the refill of my Gabapentin started. now, i have no clue if they are actually going to get to it today or not. mom takes it as well, so i do have a back up. hopefully, it will be done by the time i go there to do the grocery shopping tomorrow. i'm just happy i was able to get them transferred before that Rite Aid closes.

the New York Yankees won last night at the Royals, 4-2. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, after mom got out of her appointment with the dermatologist this afternoon, she wanted to drive back to where we live to see if the food truck that is sometimes out near the highway was out today. so, i drove over there and there it was. turns out, the guy that runs it is my cousin. i haven't done any family shit for over 20 years or so, so i have no fucking clue what these people look like anymore. after seeing the name on the truck, i should have put two and two together. we got a couple burgers and fries and some bourbon chicken and rice for dinner tonight. i have to admit, the burger was fucking fantastic. hopefully, dinner will be just as good.
mom is now at the point where she only has to go to the dermatologist once a year. the spot where she had skin cancer is completely healed. she asked some questions about some other spots she has noticed and the doctor told her those are maturity spots. i told her at least you finally know you are mature.
Monday Night Raw was good last night.

the New York Yankees play at home tonight against the Nationals. if they lose tonight, it will be their first 9 game losing streak since 1982. i am happy they have finally started to call up the kids from AAA. Everson Pereira will be making his major league debut tonight.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done. it is supposed to be hotter than hell tomorrow.
i did manage to get up early this morning and feed the birds.
i had to go Rite Aid this afternoon to pick up a prescription. thankfully, i made it there before they closed.
i need to pick up the trash and go warm up dinner, so that's all for me kids.

so, i was really hoping i was going to be talking about a Rangers victory today. instead, i was shaving off my beard last night, wondering yet again, what the fuck happened. the Rangers lost last night at New Jersey, 4-0, to lose the series 4-3. judging from the postgame comments, i really think the Rangers are going to have to make some changes to the team. and that is going to be difficult as they have some big name big price players that need to move and there won't be many teams willing to do anything unless the Rangers will be eating some of the contracts. so, i'm going to be really curious to see what Chris Drury does this summer to the roster. it is painfully obvious, they need more will and less skill as that skill never fucking showed up in the playoffs.
the New York Yankees are now inventing ways to lose. they were up 2-0 last night on Cleveland and Aaron Boone needlessly took out his starter after 88 pitches to go to his closer and sure enough, Cleveland scored 3 runs in the 9th to win, 3-2. between the injuries, bad luck and incompetence, the Yankees are in last place in the division. joy.

the New York Knicks play Game 2 tonight at home against Miami. hopefully, the Knicks will find a way to even the series.
i went to the bank today and Rite Aid. i also stopped by Walgreens and Big Lots, looking for baseball cards. amazingly, i found not only some baseball cards, but some football and hockey cards.
i need to pick up the trash tonight and get dinner going.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
