what could have been...

 last night sucked for the most part. i can handle losing. i hate it, but i can handle it. what i tend to lose my shit on, is when one (or more) of my teams, beat themselves. yeah, it was one of those nights. 

Ohio State lost at Oregon last night, 32-31. injuries and mistakes. that pretty much sums up the game.

the New York Rangers lost at home to Utah last night, 6-5, in OT.

the USMNT won last night against Panama, 2-0. it wasn't pretty, but it was a win. i'll take it.

Austin City Limits was good last night.

Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night. Ariana Grande is a natural for that show.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the Big Brother season finale, The Penguin and Last Week Tonight.

the New Orleans Saints play today at home against Tampa Bay.

i did watch plenty of college football yesterday:

the NLCS starts tonight, Mets at Dodgers. the ALCS starts tomorrow night, Cleveland at Yankees.

i'm sure i will watch some NFL games today as well as hockey, baseball and soccer.

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

i did get our absentee ballots mailed out yesterday.

somedays the back just says no...

 i think i must have turned the wrong way or something while getting out of bed. my back has been fighting me all damn day. and since i am stubborn and a glutton for punishment and love my pain tolerance, i went on with my day. that was when my lipoma decided it wanted some fucking attention today. i remembered when my doctor first diagnosed it, he told me it really is nothing unless it attaches to a nerve or wraps around something. well, guess what the fuck i was feeling today. between every step and my back was firing off pain messages and then every few seconds or so, my lipoma brushed up against a nerve ending and that was fucking fun. i'm guessing i probably looked like i was getting ready to have a stroke in the grocery store today. it never fails, every positive i take for myself or whatever, the opposite has to rear its fucking head, just because. fuck me.

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

the New York Rangers won last night at home against Dallas, 3-1.

and it was going so good...

 i had a really good day gambling yesterday, right up until the NBA All Star game. i picked the wrong player to score 20 points and now it seems my mojo is fucked. i did make over $100 yesterday, so that was good. i will hopefully make a little money tonight, although my NHL picks today are punching me in the dick. at least i do adhere to my one rule of gambling, only wager what you are willing to lose.

the bad back wins again...

 this doesn't happen that much to me anymore (thankfully) but there is a point where my pain in my bad back just becomes too fucking much. and what happens is i usually have to spend most of the day in my massage chair with ice on it and i am fucking useless. now, being my mother's caretaker means useless isn't allowed, which i do understand. so, i don't get to spend as much time in the chair as i would love to, but that's called fucking life. today my bad back has decided it wanted to win. and it has.

the Yankees lost yesterday at Toronto, 10-9. they blew an 8-3 lead. oh well. they will hopefully start a new winning streak tonight at that dump down in Tampa.

i did catch a couple MLS games yesterday.

i also watched some golf yesterday.

VICE was very interesting last night.

The Man Who Fell To Earth was excellent last night.

Flatbush Misdemeanors was pretty funny last night.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

https://www.stitcher.com/show/sam-roberts-wrestling-podcast/episode/the-mcmahon-ceo-saga-notsam-wrestling-400-204209812

i didn't get anything written yesterday. another joy of back pain. my tomorrow is going to be a bit crazy. so, i'm thinking i will get some poems out either late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, before i do the grocery shopping.

i have to take mom to get her injection tomorrow. i'm really hoping this takes and eliminates most of her pain. if not, i get the feeling things are going to get very expensive. and then later in the day, i have a doctor's appointment. hopefully my A1C has gone down. so, i will most likely do the blog in the window between appointments or after my doctor's appointment.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. 

tomorrow is the first day of summer here. i believe the temperature is supposed to be something close to that of hell.

until then...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

today is going to be crazy...

 i didn't sleep worth a shit last night. i thought maybe a good long shower would help. it didn't. every time i thought i found a good position, the pinched nerves in my arms would fire up. i almost feel like i'm just going to have to drink myself to sleep one of these nights. talk about reliving my youth.

NXT was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW, Batwoman, the season finale of Celebrity Big Brother, I Can See Your Voice and two episodes of Snowfall.

i'd love to go to the game tonight, but i doubt i will be able to squeeze it in with everything else i have going on today.

the USWNT takes on Iceland tonight in the finale of the SheBelieves Cup. the USA needs to win tonight to win the cup.

i have 4, possibly 5 stores to go today to get all of the grocery shopping done. good times.

i figure when i will be on here tomorrow, it will either be snowing or we will have ice coming down. joy.

the day after...

 so, Christmas went pretty good yesterday. i believe my mother and my sister both liked what i got them. they got me a single cup coffee maker that i totally wasn't expecting. i figured i was going to start experimenting with stronger coffee when mom died. so, i guess that journey will begin sooner now. we had Cornish hens for our Christmas dinner. i can't remember how long it has been since i had one of them. i think next year, we're going to do wings in the air fryer. my sister's friends got me a bottle of gin. i sent back some alcohol with my sister for them. 

i did watch plenty of the NBA yesterday. here are some highlights:

AEW Rampage was really good last night.

another hot and muggy day...

 i swear, i can't sleep more than 4 hours. i went to bed after 2 this morning and got up a little after 6. fuck me.

it felt muggy as hell outside this morning. i watered the tomatoes because i know damn well, the rain chances around here today are slim and none.

mom and i went to Menards last night. we got a new suet bird feeder and more hot pepper suet. we also got some bamboo stakes for the tomatoes. i swear, those things are growing like they are on steroids. i was hoping we were going to find some plants to use on the back porch, but they didn't have anything mom liked. after Menards, she wanted her frozen coke from Burger King. i went to the one on the way home (sort of) and there's 20 minutes of my life i'll never get back. the frozen coke machine was defrosting so i just got her some water instead. her allergies were acting up. fun times.

the Yankees lost again last night to Boston, 4-2. hopefully, they won't get swept again this afternoon.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

the Euro 2020 games yesterday were crazy. Denmark defeated Wales, 4-0. Italy defeated Austria, 2-1 in extra time. today, Netherlands take on Czech Republic at noon and Belgium plays Portugal at 3 this afternoon.

at the Copa America today, Brazil faces Ecuador and Venezuela takes on Peru.

AEW was really good last night.

Austin City Limits was the St. Vincent episode from a couple years ago that i deleted.

the Yankees play the Phillies today.

the USMNT Under 23's take on Honduras tonight. if the USA wins, they will qualify for the Olympics for the first time in a long time.

welcome to a cold Friday...

i would love to wait for it to warm up to go do the grocery shopping, but i would have to wait until Sunday for that to happen. oh well.

the New York Rangers won their franchise's best 9th straight road game at Montreal last night, 5-2. considering they were trailing entering the 3rd period 2-1, i'm pretty damn happy with the result. they play tonight at Philadelphia.

Will & Grace was very funny last night.

i am planning on going to the game, so that's all for me today kids. i need to shower and then get all the grocery shopping done.

i hope everyone has a great Friday. hope your weekend gets off on the right foot.

i should be on here in the early afternoon tomorrow.
