i'm betting on history today...

 honestly, i never thought the goals record in hockey was ever going to fall. Alex Ovechkin just need one goal to set the new record.




speaking of hockey, the New York Rangers lost at New Jersey yesterday, 4-0. 



the USWNT defeated Brazil yesterday, 2-0.



the Yankees won yesterday at Pittsburgh, 10-4. they go for the sweep today.








Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night.







AEW Collision was ok last night.



i did watch both games in the men's final four yesterday.






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






enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be The Americas, Yellowjackets, the season finale of The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones, Power Book III: Raising Kanan and Last Week Tonight.


Manchester United plays at home today against Manchester City. i really hope United finds a way to win today.



i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow before i have to take mom to a doctor's appointment in the afternoon.


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


until tomorrow kids...

Super Bowl Sunday...

 well, the day is finally here. Super Bowl Sunday. it honestly should be a really good game. the Chiefs going for 3 in a row. the Eagles, in my opinion, have the best roster in the NFL. but, you don't make money betting against Patrick Mahomes. so, i think the Chiefs will win a close game. i hope, mostly because of my bets, that it will be a high scoring game. 




the New York Rangers won last night in Columbus, 4-3. 





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









AEW Collision was pretty good last night.







Austin City Limits was excellent last night.



enjoy some music:







and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Dexter: Original Sin.


i'm pretty sure i'll end up watching most of the Puppy Bowl today.


i just watched Liverpool get knocked out of the FA Cup by Plymouth. they are in last place of the division below the Premier League. that is the beauty of the FA Cup.


i'm sure i'll watch some other sports today before the Super Bowl.


i hope everyone had a great Saturday. 


i hope your Sunday will be even better.


best of luck to all the gamblers today.


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


until then kids...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck war.


fuck the police.

the New York Yankees were rained out last night. they will play a split doubleheader today in St. Louis.


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

where to begin...

 yesterday was a busy ass day for me. and i only made it busier by taking a nap right after i got this blog done. but, i did get everything done yesterday that i was hoping to; laundry, mom's bills, etc.


so, let me start off with the New York Rangers. they pissed away a 2 goal lead yesterday and lost at New Jersey in OT, 4-3. not exactly how i wanted to wake up from the nap.








i did watch both NFL games yesterday. got the winners of the games correct but nothing much else.




Austin City Limits was really good last night.




here are your NBA highlights from last night:



enjoy some music:





and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of George & Tammy.


the New Orleans Saints play today at home against Carolina. hopefully, they will finish this season with a win.



i'm sure i will watch some other NFL games today as well. most of my bets today are parlay bets or a few no-brainers, especially the win if the Bengals score bet. i'm pretty confident i will win $50 on that one.


a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:

not the morning i was hoping for...

 this is one of those mornings where i really could have gone without the punch to the dick. i turned off the Manchester United game when they were down 2-0. they would eventually lose to Manchester City, 6-3. in all honesty, i never expected them to win this game, i was just hoping the gulf between the teams wasn't going to be as large as it really is.





the New Orleans Saints were much better on offense today. the defense played well enough for them to win. but, as usual, two bullshit defensive penalties cost them today as well as two costly fucking turnovers. the Saints had over 100 yards in penalties today. that's not how you win games in this league. the Saints lost to the Vikings, 28-25. what would have been the game tying field goal hit the upright and the crossbar from 61 yards out. fuck me.



the Yankees won yesterday over the Orioles, 8-0. Judge is still at 61. he is a couple points behind now in batting average for the triple crown. the Yankees play their final home game of the regular season today.







Ohio State defeated Rutgers yesterday, 49-10. considering Rutgers got their 10 points from Ohio State turnovers, the game should have been a shutout. Ohio State will actually play on the road next week, first time this season.





i did watch some of the Columbus Crew game last night. what a fucking finish.



here are some more college football highlights from yesterday:








Yvonne Orji: A Whole Me was fucking hilarious last night.


The Caverns Sessions last night had Shooter Jennings on. one of my favorites...


Austin City Limits was amazing last night.




Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night. i know the show is going to have a much different feel given all the cast changes this season. 



enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Last Week Tonight, Power Book III: Raising Kanan and Nothing Compares.


i should be on here tomorrow after mom's doctor's appointment.


before that, i have to take some mail back and make a deposit at the bank. so, i will be busy right from when i wake up tomorrow.


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

always love waking up with a bad back...

 so, right as i woke up, i knew my day was fucked. my back was screaming bloody fucking murder with every step to the bathroom. joy. the only reason i honestly have made it 46 years into this life is learning how to find the pleasure in the pain. i honestly know as soon as i lose that ability, i am fucked. so, i did get to ice my back down for hours later in the morning into the afternoon. after that, i had to take a prescription to Kroger for my mother and then get some things that weren't put on the grocery list. of course, Kroger didn't have the first item i was looking for, so i went to Meijer instead. i'll have to go back to Kroger this weekend to get my mother's prescription. her appointment yesterday with the foot doctor went well. now, i just need to figure out a good time to take her to get a haircut.


the Yankees had their asses handed to them last night by Toronto, losing 9-2. hopefully, they will find a way to win tonight.






Big Brother was good last night. Indy got evicted. she is the first member of the jury. Michael and Terrance are the new HOHs.



NJPW was excellent last night.


NXT UK was very good yesterday. it will be coming to an end soon as the WWE revealed the plans yesterday of creating NXT Europe in 2023.



enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









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


the New Orleans Saints play at the Packers tonight. as always, i hope the Saints win but i also hope no one gets injured.


i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow as the Yankees play in the afternoon.


i never thought i would see the day Casemiro would leave Real Madrid. and i certainly never thought he's be coming to Manchester United. HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




i hope everyone has a great weekend. i need to go figure out what is for dinner tonight.


until tomorrow kids...

fuck war.

happy mother's day

 Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. i hope you have a wonderful day.


yesterday might have been one of the crazier days of my life. after thinking about the bullshit my sister did yesterday, the more i think she planned the whole thing out. i didn't include in the blog yesterday that my sister came back (she forgot some of her shit in the bathroom) and as she was leaving a second time, she gave my mother a ring back. now, this was the ring my father gave my mother for their 20th wedding anniversary. this was a ring my sister asked my mother to give her, which she did. the fact that my sister made a point to give it back to my mother and say pawn it, chop it up, whatever, i don't fucking want it anymore, makes me believe my sister thinks she was proving a point. as i told a friend last night, my belief is my sister doesn't want to be a part of this family and i am proceeding as that is the way it is going to be from this point forward. now, what truly pisses me off, that person that used to be known as my sister, knows mom can't handle stress that well. knows that mom's health is failing her. so, i was the lucky one that got to see her shit and puke the rest of the fucking day and night. and here it is noon on Sunday and she hasn't made it out of her bedroom yet. i know for a fact, that if my former sister would have it her way, mom would be in a nursing home and forgotten about. yet, i'm the asshole that wants to respect her wishes and watch it play out, as painfully as it could be. now, i'm one that knows how to hold a fucking grudge until the bitter fucking end. and knowing my former sister never let mom know if she made it back home yesterday or contacted her at all, and the level of stress and worry that gives my mother, my former sister is probably a few hours away from being dead to me FOREVER. 


the New York Rangers lost to Pittsburgh last night, 7-4. Pittsburgh is now up 2-1 in the series. next game is Monday night.






here are your highlights from the rest of the NHL playoffs yesterday:





i did watch the Kentucky Derby yesterday. i wish the State of Ohio would get its head out of its ass and get sports betting going in this state. when an 80-1 shot wins the Kentucky Derby, i would have loved to had a little piece of that action.



here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs yesterday:



i did watch a little of the MLS games yesterday:



Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night.


enjoy some music:







and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Barry, The Baby, Last Week Tonight, Gaslit, VICE, The Man Who Fell To Earth and Ziwe. i'll be watching WWE WrestleMania Backlash for most of the evening on Peacock.


oh yeah, as for the Manchester United game. i didn't see much of it as i had to miss the start since i had to run to a different pharmacy and gets the pills called in for my mother before the pharmacy closed. thankfully, i got there with about 8 minutes to spare. by the time i got home, United was already down 1-0. they must have just quit since the final score was 4-0. Brighton whipped them from what the highlights showed. this finally takes away any chance of finishing in the top 4. and as i have said earlier, i won't be surprised when they fail to finish in the top 6.







the New York Yankees play a doubleheader at home today against the Texas Rangers. i guess the rain has finally cleared out of New York. hopefully, the Yankees will win both games today.


and hopefully, my mother will get out of bed and actually feel like eating something today and maybe opening the funny ass gift i got her and the card.


i did do a little poetry work late last night. if i find the time today, i will send those 8 poems out.


i hope everyone had a better Saturday than i did. and i hope your Sunday will be even better than that.


until tomorrow kids...

a wet start to 2022...

 it started raining last night and hasn't really stopped yet. it supposed to keep going all day today and eventually turn over to snow flurries on Sunday. joy.


i was thrilled to learn yesterday that Foo Fighters were showing their MSG concert from the summer for free on their YouTube channel. so, i watched that whole thing yesterday, mostly because i doubt i will ever get to see them live in person.




AEW Rampage was amazing last night.


205 Live was good last night.


Chillin Island was weird as fuck last night.


the New York Rangers won in Tampa Bay last night, 4-3, in a shootout.








the college football playoff games went as i expected last night. Alabama defeated Cincinnati, 27-6, and Georgia whipped that shit school up north, 34-11. 




i did feel bad for my sister yesterday. she is a huge fan of the Golden Girls, so i know the death of Betty White ripped her to pieces.









enjoy some music:





and now some of this and that:








on the DVR tonight will be two episodes of When Nature Calls.


Ohio State plays Utah this afternoon in the Rose Bowl. given the number of Ohio State players that have opted out to prepare for the NFL, i do expect Ohio State to struggle today.



i hope to watch some of the Winter Classic tonight between the Blues and Wild.




WWE Day 1 is tonight as well.



the Dayton Flyers were supposed to play tomorrow but their game has been postponed because of COVID. that means Dayton won't play until Wednesday at home against VCU. of course, i won't be shocked if that game gets postponed as well.


so, i should be on here tomorrow in the morning as i think the Rangers play in the afternoon tomorrow, before the New Orleans Saints do.


thanks to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:



i hope everyone has a great New Year's day. welcome to 2022.

laundry day

 i decided i better do my laundry today rather than hunt for clean clothes to do the grocery shopping in tomorrow. hopefully, i'll get it done before all the shit starts tonight.


Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.







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







i did watch a little of the Cowboys beating the Eagles last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NXT and The Voice.


the Yankees start a massive 3 game series tonight in Toronto. they have a 1 game lead over the Red Sox for the first wild card spot.


the New York Rangers play their second preseason game tonight. i'll actually get to see some of it on the NHL Network i think. they lost their first game to the Islanders 4-0. hopefully, they do a little better tonight.


i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done and after Manchester United plays in the Champions League. i'm hoping i will be in a good mood.



i need to pick up the trash and probably fold some clothes here soon, so that's all for me kids.

welcome to the house of depression...

so mom's health has started to really fuck with her the last couple of days. she tried cooking last night and lets just say it didn't turn out how she was hoping. and i ate as much as i could, but when you get to chicken that isn't cooked and still pink, i had to draw the line. so, of course, mom is depressed today and the weather isn't really fucking helping either of us. it's been raining since this morning. joy.

here is your video for this day of National Poetry Month:

and here are a couple of links to poems you should be reading:

The Masked Singer was pretty good last night. i knew who the Banana has been since his first performance.

What We Do in the Shadows was fucking hilarious last night.

AEW was really good last night.

NXT was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, the series finale of Will & Grace, Better Things, Cake, Desus & Mero, Total Bellas and Shelter in Place w/Shane Smith. i will probably watch the first round of the NFL Draft for most of the evening. i already watched NXT UK this afternoon. it was a look back on the great match between Walter and Tyler Bate.

thankfully, i got the newspaper and the mail before it started raining. what i got mom for Mother's Day showed up today. i'm hoping she's going to like what i got her.

mom got her stimulus check in the mail today. neither one of us can figure out why it didn't get directly deposited into her account, like her social security. but, we also both know there is not one competent motherfucker working in the government these days.

so, i think if the weather is better tomorrow, i'm going to take her to the bank to deposit that and then i'm going to swing by the crafts store so she can pick up what she ordered there.

i should be on here sometime after all that is done.

that's all for me kids. until tomorrow.

stay healthy...
