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.

well, at least the new battery works...

 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.

i'm going to try to send the poems for the book out tonight. i seem to do my best work after midnight anymore.

i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Southampton at home.

not quite the day i was expecting...

 so i woke up this morning after 3 hours of sleep and had to take a shit. that started a morning that was a comedy of errors. by 10 AM, i had taken 4 shits, had breakfast and was in the process of trying to get some more sleep. i always remember Dan Soder's joke about if you want to get good sleep, have a big meal. i did make it to Kroger this afternoon to get my prescription. it was sunny but cold today.

34 guilty counts, all of them earned...

 now, i'm cynical enough to believe that through witness tampering and judicial intimidation, Trump will probably get this overturned or vacated or some other legal bullshit, but to hear a guilty verdict on all 34 counts made me actually believe, at least for a second, that this is how the whole system is supposed to work. that no one is above the law, blah blah blah. of course, the chaos agents want him to be elected president in November just so the system blows the fuck up. that is the last fucking thing i want to see happen as these dumb fucks don't understand what democracy actually is and if they truly think there is a system better, try your luck in Russia or Hungary or anyplace in this world with a dictator running shit.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to physical therapy.

that's all for me kids. thank god for sports tonight. i get the feeling most of the other channels will be covering something else.

 i had a very long night last night. between all the shows, the dishes and my arthritis, i thought i would never get done. but, at least i got to bed by 6 this morning. joy. i woke up a few times but finally got up at 11. talk about a day feeling like it has already been wasted.

i did watch plenty of NFL games yesterday.

the Yankees lost yesterday at the Pirates, 3-2. they are off today and start a series at home tomorrow night against Toronto.

 so, i did notice this morning that Tony Bennett died. talk about a fucking life. he certainly put just about everything into his 96 years.

the USWNT plays tonight in the Women's World Cup against Vietnam.

Leagues Cup starts tonight as well. i might watch some of Messi's debut with Inter Miami against Cruz Azul. Leagues Cup is the new in season tournament between the MLS and Liga MX, Mexico's top division of soccer teams. it should be rather interesting.

the Yankees start a series tonight at home against the Royals. to say i couldn't give two shits right now about them is an understatement. Trevino is now out for the season with a wrist tear that he has been trying to play through. if Judge has a setback, they might as well start trading off who they can and just play the fucking kids.

i need to get going since i still have to feed the birds, vacuum the house and make dinner.

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

the joy of when your body says no...

 so, when i woke up this morning, i was feeling like i hadn't slept at all. that's always fun. my bad back has been killing me for weeks now. no matter how much i stretch or ice or just rest, it doesn't get much better. i am losing weight, but i think that is by attrition. after breakfast today, i could feel my body just shutting down. so, i got back into bed and tried my best to sleep. the siren in my left ear is still going non-stop, so sleeping isn't fucking easy at all anymore. i did stay in bed until the second half of the USMNT game today. after watching that, i probably should have just stayed in bed. more on that in a bit.

the New Orleans Saints won yesterday over the Rams, 27-20.

the New York Knicks lost yesterday at Phoenix, 116-95. they play tonight at the Thunder.

here are your NBA highlights from yesterday:

i did catch most of the games today and yesterday in the World Cup. i am pretty disappointed the USMNT tied Wales today, 1-1. while it is better than a loss, they could have won today. that will make getting out of the group even harder, especially since England destroyed Iran today, 6-2. Ecuador beat Qatar 2-0 yesterday and Netherlands defeated Senegal today, 2-0.

i know i need to be up early tomorrow morning for a conference call with the social worker where mom is. mom seems to be doing pretty good. i'm just hoping they get her blood pressure under control.

i should be on here tomorrow after the World Cup games are over. the games tomorrow are Argentina vs. Saudi Arabia, Denmark vs. Tunisia, Mexico vs. Poland and France vs. Australia.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

the Yankees won over Oakland last night, 2-1. they go for the sweep this afternoon.

sometimes back pain is like a...

 i will allow you to use your imagination where the fuck i was going with that title.

the grocery stores today were a little busy. i live in dumb as fuck town so usually after election day, it is pretty quiet. no one around here thinks they should have to pay taxes for good roads or schools and usually vote against anything that could actually be of benefit to them. so, when i saw the local paper today talk about a patriotic concert on September 10, 2022, i looked at mom and asked her where the fuck are we moving. because i know damn well this will become a Trump rally, Q bullshit thing that these dumb fucks in this town will love. i am really fucking sick of living in a place where mediocrity is celebrated like a victory. 

i did get some baseball cards today at Rite Aid. there was about $10 worth of cards in the $5 box i got.

the New York Rangers pissed away a 2-0 lead last night and lost at Vancouver, 3-2 in OT. nothing like going to bed pissed off.

The Voice was good last night. i can't wait for the live shows.

NXT was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Masked Singer, Alter Ego, Batwoman and AEW Dynamite.

the only good thing about the Atlanta Braves winning the World Series last night is the last time they won it, 1995, the last Yankees dynasty started the following year. i wouldn't mind history repeating itself.

i made my appointment last night to get my booster Covid shot this Friday. i had thought mom had already made her appointment, because she needs the booster, the flu shot and shingles shot, but i was wrong. so, i think she was a little pissed that i didn't make her appointment as well. oh well.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i go out to find what i couldn't find today. the prices of everything is through the fucking roof now. i got $250 worth of groceries today for $198. the same shit a few months would have cost me under $120. good times.

some days, arthritis just wins...

 it was rainy and muggy once again today. my arthritis was licking its chops. and of course, i had to be out in the shit since today is the day i do all the grocery shopping. 

Rite Aid wasn't bad today. i actually got some baseball cards there. the clerk that works there knows me now and knows i'm always looking for sports cards. she said they had some behind the counter, but customers are only allowed to buy 1 of them. i got the Fairfield baseball box. i paid around $4 for it and there was close to $20 worth of cards in it. not bad. i got some other things that mom wanted, which she wants me to give her while my sister is here, since i guess we're celebrating mom's birthday early. (my sister has this fear that mom is going to die soon. i believe my sister has confused her wishful thinking with reality once again.)

by the time i got to Kroger, my arthritis had won the day. i was dragging the entire time. my left leg has been on fire for 3 days now. all the scar tissue in it has been radiating constantly. between all 4 stores i went to, i believe i kept it under $250 for everything.

my sister will be down here from Thursday until Sunday. oh joy.

NXT was great last night.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

Mr. Inbetween was excellent last night.

i really need to go ice my back down and stretch these old bones out in my massage chair.

i should be on here tomorrow after my doctor's appointment. it's just my 3 month check up on my A1C and everything else wrong with me. i'm hoping it won't be raining all day tomorrow.

sometimes, luck does play a role...

 so, i had to go out and get some stuff for my mother today. i figured fuck it, i might as well try to find some baseball cards as well. no luck at either Rite-Aid i went to today, though i did find everything my mother needed. i went to Big Lots hoping i would find something. i found the cookies my mother wanted... as i was waiting to checkout, i looked to my left and saw an Upper Deck logo. i had never seen these cards before. fuck it, i bought 5 packs of them. 2019 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions. i didn't think much of the cards until i pulled 2 Luka Doncic cards. i looked those up on Ebay and they are going for over $30. well, shit. i also pulled a Wayne Gretzky card out of a pack that is going for more than $10. ok, that works.

i switched it up last night and decided to watch The Voice first and record Monday Night Raw. that way, i could fast forward my way through Raw and cut out all the shit that bores me these days. trust me, it was most of the show.

as for The Voice, i thought it pretty good last night.

the finale of The Investigation was excellent last night.
