happy birthday to my mother...

 well, since the last time i was on here, some things have happened... i wrote 4 poems yesterday while mom was in her physical therapy session. i typed those up eventually last night. they are pretty good. on the way to lunch after physical therapy, saw a really good car accident. two women, both on the phone, in a construction zone. the jokes write themselves people. mom wanted to have lunch at Lee's. she got a free lunch for her birthday. we ate in the restaurant. it wasn't bad. got back home and was going to go to Kroger last night for mom's pills. she said go on Friday instead. ah, the beauty of hindsight...


so, i got up this morning later than i wanted and put on some cinnamon rolls for mom's birthday breakfast. i had to go to Lowe's to get the garage door lubricant i ran out of. mom wanted me to find her a snake plant. they had everything but that there. after that, i went to Big Lots and found some hockey cards. then, i went to Dollar General and found some baseball cards. after that, i went to the bank to deposit my check. and then finally, i went to Kroger. i had to get mom's pills, a birthday cake and some hand soap. and while i was waiting in line, i got her some alcohol for her birthday. she texted me as i was getting ready to leave the parking lot, wondering where i was. i figured she would enjoy some time alone.


the USMNT defeated Mexico last night, 3-0. the game was ugly, which i was kind of expecting as Mexico has fallen way behind the USA now in soccer. 4 red cards in the game. the USA will play Canada Sunday for the CONCACAF Nations League title, but they will be without McKinnie and Dest. plus, i wasn't thrilled with the news last night that they were hiring the old coach back again.











NJPW was really good last night.




enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:








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


the Yankees start a series tonight at Boston.


i have no clue what mom wants for dinner tonight. problem is, i don't think she knows what she wants either. so, yeah...


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


i hope everyone has a great weekend.

rest in peace Pele

 right as i was going to start writing this blog, the breaking news came across that Pele has died. needless to say, he was one of the greatest to EVER play soccer. i have seen the old tapes of him playing, and he simply put, was a fucking genius. i know a nation is weeping and millions of fans are as well. rest in peace, Pele. you have earned ever single word of praise and then some.



now, let's get to what happened yesterday.


team USA lost yesterday at the World Juniors to Slovakia, 6-3. they play Switzerland today in a game they really need to win.




the Dayton Flyers won last night at home over Duquesne, 69-57.

nothing on the DVR tonight so i guess i will be watching hockey and football all night.


the New York Knicks play tonight in San Antonio.



here are your NBA highlights from last night:




the New York Rangers play tonight at Tampa Bay.




i did go to Big Lots today and found some cards. i got 4 packs of baseball cards, two packs of basketball cards and one pack of football cards. i got some really nice hits including some great rookie cards, a couple numbered cards and one autographed card. i think it was a well spent $45.


i should be on here tomorrow in the morning. i think the monsoon starts tonight. it looks like it is going to rain for days. at least, it certainly fucking feels like it.

up too damn early...

 so, i was up at 6 this morning. i wanted to get up early and get my day going as i knew mom wanted to be up around 8 this morning. she is not a morning person at all and i barely am. thankfully, i think she was awake enough to have her online counseling session this morning. i shaved and showered and went to the bank today. after i made that deposit, i went to Big Lots. i got 5 packs of 2022 Topps Heritage for $30. i found some decent rookies in the packs and one short print. i'm still chasing a damn Julio Rodriguez rookie card.


the Yankees lost last night to Tampa Bay, 4-0. hopefully, the fucking offense will wake the fuck up tonight and score.







Industry was excellent last night.


Monday Night Raw was really good last night.




enjoy some music:





and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Deadliest Catch, What We Do in the Shadows and Hard Knocks.

running on fumes...

 i got to bed around 5 AM this morning. i was up and out of bed at 9 AM. my mother pretty much fell asleep at the same time i did. she got out of bed today at 4 PM. i would have to slip into a coma to ever sleep that long.


i went to the bank today. for some fucking reason, the bank i normally go to was closed. so, i had to drive a town over to go to that bank. that took way longer than it should have. after that, i drove back to Trotwood to go to Big Lots. i had a coupon to use. of course, they didn't have any baseball, football or basketball cards. i found the Jim Beam coffee i like. i also got a new mat for our front door. a couple of toys (Batman, Star Wars) and a better storage box for the cards. i was hoping it would come up to $40 so i could use the coupon i had. it was $33. fuck.


night 2 of WrestleMania was good last night. not as good as night 1, but i think it was better than what i was expecting. i'm hoping that Monday Night Raw tonight is fucking crazy.










the New York Rangers lost last night to the Flyers, 4-3 in a shootout. i'm happy they were able to at least get a fucking point out of the game.







Billions was good last night. the season finale is next week.



Super Pumped: The Battle for UBER was good last night. that season finale is next week as well.



Shining Vale was hilarious last night.



Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.



Game Theory with Bomani Jones was excellent last night.

and now some of this and that:








on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw, Better Things and American Song Contest.


here are your three videos for this day of National Poetry Month:







we did have some rain here this morning. that's probably why i was up at 9 to be honest. any chance of me sleeping peacefully in the rain died with my youth.


i hope everyone had a great weekend.


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


until then kids...

fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck Putin.

some deaths hit harder than others...

 so, when i saw the news last night that Taylor Hawkins had died, i was crushed. Foo Fighters has always been a band i wanted to see live. anytime i would watch one of their shows on YouTube, i could always tell how much fun they had playing. and a major part of that was the drummer, Taylor Hawkins. i can't imagine the pressure of being the drummer in a band fronted by the drummer from Nirvana. Taylor always seemed so friendly and cool. and fuck, he was only 50 years old. that's only 4 years older than me. so yeah, this one hits a little fucking harder. thank you for all the smiles. rest in peace. my best to his family, his friends and all the fans.




so, my sister stopped by last night on her way home. she was away in Europe for a little bit. she brought me back some cool shit from the UK. 


the New York Rangers whipped the Penguins last night, 5-1. that was great to watch.







i did watch a good portion of college basketball games last night. the Elite 8 starts tonight.






Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.






AEW Rampage was very good last night.


the season finale of Painting With John was hilarious last night.


Real Time with Bill Maher was very good last night.




enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:








nothing on the DVR tonight.


i'll probably be watching some college basketball today, maybe some soccer, and most definitely some hockey.


i need to go to Big Lots today. i have a 20% off coupon. hopefully i'll find some coffee and some basketball cards.


it did snow some this morning. thankfully, nothing really stuck around here.


i should be on here in the morning tomorrow.


i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

felt like the old times...

 so, mom actually decided to go to her physical therapy session today. that gave me a chance to write some poems. i did get five written. i think they are pretty good, especially since all of them came to me in a matter of twenty minutes. after that, she wanted something to drink. i went and got her a large diet coke. after i got her home, i needed to go to Rite Aid to get my prescriptions and to Big Lots to use this coupon i had. i was really happy that Rite Aid was able to fix the fuck up that Kroger did. and amazingly, the 3 prescriptions cost me $7. i was fucking thrilled at that. i got some baseball cards, some dipping sauces that mom wanted, and some bandages she needed, all at Big Lots. after my $5 coupon, that all cost me $13. not a bad fucking shopping day. the baseball cards were two 2021 Topps Allen & Ginter packs. one had a mini rare rookie card in it that is going for over $10 these days. that made me pretty happy.


Vice News Tonight had two great shows this week.


enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Celebrity Big Brother and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on Peacock.


i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the morning. hopefully, i will be in a good mood.



i think the USA men's hockey team plays Canada tonight at the Winter Olympics. so, basically, i might get a few hours of sleep before i get up to watch United in the morning. add in all the Super Bowl shit this weekend and i might as well forget about getting any sleep.


i hope everyone has a great weekend.


if you are gambling on the Super Bowl, best of luck to you.


if i had money to gamble, i would take the Bengals at +4. i would take the over and i would take tails for the coin toss. now, if anyone out there bets that and wins, feel free to send me a little something.


until tomorrow kids...

finally, a little sunshine...

 it was nice enough so far today, that i have been able to open the house up and let the breeze through. it has warmed up enough that it actually feels nice outside.

i did listen to episode 340 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:



i found some wrestling cards yesterday at Big Lots. they were from the years 2013 - 2019. that made me go through all my wrestling cards yesterday. many of the ones i got yesterday were worth a little money. the ones i had from 2020 that i hadn't priced out yet had some amazing prices on them. so yeah, that was a fruitful trip. of course, Kroger didn't call until today about mom's pills. so i have to go get those after i get done with this and take a shower.


mom and i get our second COVID vaccine shots tomorrow. if they keep the times the same as of now, i'm going to try to get the blog done before i get the shot. if they change them to the early afternoon like last time, the blog will come afterwards.


i hope everyone had a great weekend.

here comes the rain...

 i'm hoping to get this written and get the damn trash picked up before the rain starts...


i went to Big Lots today hoping to find some baseball cards as i had a 15% off coupon. of course, they didn't have any. so i picked up a Joker figurine, a Darth Vader Funko Pop and some candy. with the discount, it cost me less than $15. so, that was a decent find in my mind.


Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.








The Voice was very good last night. hopefully, it will be tonight as well.







Industry was pretty interesting last night. 


i did watch some of the Jets vs. Patriots last night. i couldn't tell if my mother wanted the Jets to win or to keep losing to get a better draft pick. the Jets did find a way to lose at the end, 30-27. but, they did cover for all you gamblers out there.
