tax day...

 i actually got more than 4 hours of sleep last night. i'm guessing i must have found a slot where my pinched nerve didn't bother me. or, the rye whiskey did the trick. 

the New York Rangers won last night at Florida, 5-3. it was the first time all season they had a multi-goal comeback. sure, do it after you are eliminated from playoff contention.

the New York Yankees won last night at home against the Royals, 4-1. 

The Voice was excellent last night.

Monday Night Raw was great last night. WrestleMania is this weekend.

the Dayton Flyers lost last night at Northwestern, 71-66. Dayton shot the ball well, but had way too many turnovers and not enough key rebounds.

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

AEW Rampage was good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty funny last night.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

it still feels like summer...

 it felt like mid-August today while i was out. i was hoping to find some baseball cards at Big Lots. of course, there was none. i guess tomorrow is supposed to be in the 90's. oh joy. then a big ass cold front is supposed to move through and then it will be fall.

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

Monday Night Raw was very good last night.

the season finale of Industry was fucking great last night. i really hope there will be a season 3.

both Monday Night Football games last night were blowouts. and both home teams won like i predicted yesterday.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Deadliest Catch and The Voice.

the Yankees start a 2 game series tonight at home against the Pirates. Aaron Judge is getting really close to having one of the best seasons a Yankee has ever had. 3 home runs away from setting the American League record for home runs in a season. and mere percentage points away from leading the American League in batting. he is light years ahead in home runs and runs batted in. no Yankee has won the triple crown since Mickey Mantle. 

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done. i'm hoping the storms hold off until i get all that done. i hate nothing more than being out shopping when my arthritis is fucking raging.

i think the heat is finally going to break...

 so, mom didn't go to physical therapy yesterday. she was getting ready to shower and she got lightheaded and i was thankfully right there to help her. i called and told them she wasn't feeling well. i think in this heat, if she doesn't get plenty of sleep, she is useless. she was trying to get dressed yesterday and falling asleep while doing so. so, after she got a few hours, i went and got her birthday meal. of course, it was chicken wings from Pizza Hut. that seemed to make her happy. 

the New York Yankees won last night over Tampa, 2-1. the Yankees are now 47-16 on the season. they start a series tonight in Toronto.

Golden State won the NBA championship last night, beating Boston, 103-90. they won the series 4-2. here are your highlights from Game 6.

Vice News Tonight had two amazing shows this week.

both episodes of The Old Man were fucking great last night.

NXT UK was very good yesterday.

NJPW was excellent last night.

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

i did make it to the bank today. after that, i went to Meijer. i did find pretty much everything i was looking for. if the paper towels were on sale, i would have got them today as well. and i managed to not buy any baseball cards. i have an order coming from Repacked Wax. Meijer was fully stocked but none of the prices these days fit into my budget.

i really hope the weather this weekend is going to be good here. mom wants to sit out a little bit and she hasn't been able to with this damn heat.

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

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

happy veterans day...

 

i have always had a very complicated relationship with this day. i have had many of my aunts tell me my father was a completely different person by the time he came home from Vietnam. so, part of me has always hated war as it robbed me from every really knowing my father. part of me will always be thankful for the men and women that die for whatever the fuck anyone thinks freedom is anymore. part of me knows all of this shit is just capitalism run amok. so, i always try to keep in mind the families on this day. the ones who actually had to go through hell because our government doesn't give two shits about anyone that comes back alive. and living in Ohio, not far away from every other military in the country, it is a constant fucking reminder. it has been raining all day long it seems. sadly, it seems fucking appropriate.

Vice News Tonight had an amazing two shows this week.

AEW was really good last night.

The Masked Singer was excellent last night.

Alter Ego was good last night.

Batwoman was fucking nuts last night.

i will probably watch some of the NFL game tonight between the Ravens and Dolphins.

it is supposed to get cold tonight and there is a chance of snow this weekend. oh goody. i guess the furnace goes back on tonight.

i will probably be on here tomorrow in the afternoon. i think i have to take mom to get some blood work done tomorrow. and i probably need to go to Meijer to get a few things we're running low on.

i hope all the veterans had a great day and i wish you a wonderful evening.

making up for lost time...

so, i got some good news at my doctor's appointment yesterday. my A1C is down (from 7.7 to 7.1); i have lost weight; blood pressure is looking good; my diabetic foot exam went fine; all in all, much better than the last few visits. i go back in December to have my physical, etc.

after that, i went to the grocery store. neither of them were that busy. of course, when i got done at the big store, i went to put the groceries in the back of the Highlander. i quickly realized what i had forgot from the day before. i forgot to take mom's walker out of the Highlander from our drive over to Indiana. so, the groceries had to go into the backseat. it never fails...

the Yankees actually won last night, 7-2 over Toronto. they start a HUGE series at home tonight against Baltimore. they really need to start stringing some victories together NOW.

Big Brother was good last night. i'm pretty sure Bayleigh will be evicted tonight. i'm hoping for fireworks.

Cari & Jemele Stick to Sports was great last night.

AEW was fucking fantastic last night.

here are your highlights from the NBA last night:

here are your highlights from the NHL last night:

hard to believe the NFL season kicks off tonight. the Chiefs play the Texans.

i'll probably watch some of the NBA and NHL playoffs tonight as well.

i did do a little poetry work this afternoon. i think i know where my next 29 poems are going to. i'm hoping to get that all done tomorrow morning.

i guess my sister is coming down this weekend. we're celebrating her birthday from this past week.

mom said something about wanting to go out and get her a card. so, i'm guessing if she is up to it, we'll be doing that tomorrow.

i will hopefully be on here sometime in the afternoon tomorrow.

until then kids...

never been so happy to be wrong...

the Dayton Flyers went into Rhode Island last night and whipped the shit out of them on their senior night. Dayton won 84-57. i was laughing my ass off for most of the game, especially knowing that Rhode Island needed to win the game if they really wanted any chance of going to the NCAA Tournament. Dayton plays this Saturday at home for their senior night against George Washington. if they win, they will go 18-0 in the A10 and finish 29-2 for the regular season. what a time to be fucking alive.

NXT was really good last night.

Miz & Mrs was fucking hilarious last night.

AEW was fucking great last night.

The Masked Singer was good last night.

Vice News Tonight was excellent. i'm so happy the show is back on television again.

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Young Sheldon, The Unicorn, Will & Grace, Indebted, Desus & Mero, Better Things and Cake. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

mom's doctor's appointment went well today. i didn't get the chance to write any poems, as she wanted me to go back with her. after her appointment, she had to get some bloodwork done. that went pretty quick. after that, we went to lunch at Perkins. i had a 20% off coupon that i remembered to bring with me.

Manchester United defeated Derby County 3-0 today in the FA Cup. they are now in the quarterfinals. next up this weekend will be the Manchester Derby.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Washington. i'm hoping the boys can get a win tonight, but i'm not holding my breath.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

that's all for me kids...

snow day

i know as a kid, i absolutely loved the days when snow would close school. at least until i got older and my father would make me go out and shovel every inch of the driveway, sidewalks, porch, etc., mostly out of his fear that someone would slip on the property and sue him for money that he had already pissed away. good times.

as an adult, all the snow fucking means is more stress of driving with fucking idiots on the road and hoping my bad back doesn't act up while i'm walking on this shit.

NXT UK was pretty good last night,

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

The Unicorn was very good last night.

Will & Grace was hilarious last night.

Indebted was pretty good last night.

Desus & Mero was very funny last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, The Shop, Real Time with Bill Maher and High Maintenance. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i decided to get the blog done before i went to the grocery store so maybe the sun would actually come out and melt some of the fucking snow. i think we got a little over 2 inches maybe. that wouldn't have closed shit when i was in school.

the New York Rangers play at home tonight against Buffalo. i'd love to see the boys win again.

i will be on here tomorrow in the morning, before i leave to go see the Dayton Flyers play at home against Saint Louis.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. hope the weather is better wherever you happen to be.

can't sleep, might as well be productive...

i haven't been able to sleep more than 4 hours a night since my procedure. of course, it's not like i was sleeping so much more before it either. but, last night, i decided i might as well be productive. i finished my Christmas shopping. apparently, between the Amazon gift cards i had and my American Express points, i had enough to cover everything for my mother and sister. that was a welcome surprise at 2:45 in the morning.

i put out our simple outside Christmas decorations this morning when i went to get the paper. wreaths around the 3 lights and a Christmas flag. good enough.

Manchester United lost in the Europa League yesterday, 2-1. considering it was the youngest Manchester United side ever, i'm not going to go apeshit over it. but, this also means they need to win their final match in group play if they actually want to win the group now.

the New Orleans Saints defeated Atlanta last night, 26-18. they clinched the NFC South for the 3rd straight season. they still have plenty to play for though. they control their own destiny if they want the number 1 seed in the playoffs.

i did watch the other football games and some college basketball yesterday.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and the season finale of Room 104. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Rangers play this afternoon in Boston. i'd love to see them extend their winning streak somehow today.

i will need to go to the local grocery store at some point today. i have 1 slice of bread left.

i will be on here tomorrow before Ohio State takes on that team from up north.

if you are going out shopping today, have some patience and enjoy the traffic.

i hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

i woke up this morning with my back aching. it must know what is coming this afternoon. i haven't done physical therapy in 10 years. i haven't been to the place i am going to today. i'll be interested to see how my anxiety does today.

the New York Rangers lost again yesterday at Carolina, 8-5. it seemed like every damn time the Rangers got a lead they would turn around and blow it. the defense was fucking putrid yesterday.

The Deuce was really good last night.

the season finale of Ballers was pretty good last night.

Last Week Tonight was fucking hilarious as usual.

America to Me was excellent last night.

The Family Business: Trump and Taxes was a look into the behind the scenes of the New York Times article. i think i know why so many dumb asses love Trump. they want to be rich and never pay taxes either. the sad thing is i guarantee the whole damn family is still cheating the system and are proud of it.

Shameless was great last night.

Kidding was dark as ever last night.

the New York Yankees play Game 3 of the ALDS tonight at home against Boston. i really hope the Yankees win tonight and put Boston on the brink of elimination.

the New Orleans Saints play tonight at home against Washington. Drew Brees needs 201 yards tonight to pass Peyton Manning for the most passing yards in NFL history. i hope he does it in a victory.

my physical therapy today is at 4 PM. i'm pretty sure i know where i am going. i'm interested to see what i will be doing. i figure it will be similar to my mother's physical therapy.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. best of luck to everyone enjoying an extended weekend today.

the kind of woman that leaves you gasping for air...

so i was in the grocery store today and saw this woman out of the corner of my eye. i looked back and holy fucking shit. this stunning, and i mean fucking stunning, dark skinned black woman wearing an Oakland Raiders shirt was walking in the store. i think i walked by her three different times, knowing damn well she was probably 3 or 4 lifetimes out of my league. i know one damn thing though, there will be poems. i saw her in the parking lot as i was taking my groceries to the Highlander. she was getting into a red car. of course she was.

i did well with the groceries. got a ton of shit, all for under $90. of course, not long after i got home, the pharmacy called to say my prescription was ready. so, i'm either going back later tonight or in the morning. lovely.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Big Brother was good last night. Scottie did get voted out. i believe Angela is the new HOH. i have no clue who she is going to put up.

Snowfall was great last night. such a damn good show.
