a day for reflection...

 i wish this day was spent like the title of this blog post, but it isn't. for too many people in this country, it is just another day off, that is all. just imagine how much better we could be as people if we actually understood why this holiday matters.

True Detective Night Country was excellent last night.

Manchester United and Tottenham finished 2-2 yesterday.

i wrote 2 poems last night before i went to sleep. i think they are pretty good.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get back from the bank.

it actually made it up to double digits today for the high temperature. it is so cold in our garage, i'm not sure the refrigerator actually needs to be running.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

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

The Voice was good last night. i have no clue which two are getting cut tonight.

Monday Night Raw was good last night, for the most part. i was expecting something better since it was the last Raw before Survivor Series.

AEW was very good last night.

there was a double elimination on The Masked Singer last night. i didn't get either correct.

the season finale of Snowfall was fucking great last night.

the Yankees lost to the Braves last night, 4-1. they are off to their worst start since 1991. oh boy. they start a series tonight in Cleveland.

i found out that one of the hockey cards i got yesterday is going for $12 these days. that made me happy.

if the plans don't change, i believe i will be taking mom to get a haircut tomorrow. i will be getting mine cut as well.

mom told me yesterday that the nurse that was here last thought she heard some water in mom's lungs. so, that could be reason why i didn't sleep for shit last night.

i should be on here in the afternoon tomorrow. my last load of laundry just got done in the dryer, so that is all for me kids.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was good last night.

the season finale of Painting with John was excellent last night.

the final two episodes of Hip Hop Uncovered were great last night.

i'll probably watch some college basketball today. hopefully, it will put me to sleep.

i need more sleep...

i was hoping to have this done way before now, but life gets in the fucking way sometimes. i was up until 4:30 this morning. i had to go back to the grocery store earlier today to get fucking pills i called in on Monday. and then i had to go to the local drug store to get the shit the grocery store didn't have. joy.

the New York Rangers lost last night to Carolina, 3-0. hopefully, #LoseForHughes is back on. the ceremony before the game was great.

NJPW was good last night.

WOW could have been so much better last night.

Celebrity Big Brother was crazy last night. it was double eviction night and of course, both of my favorites got evicted.

2 Dope Queens was excellent last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

Teddy Pendergrass: If You Don't Know Me was excellent last night. i highly recommend it to anyone who loves music.

the Dayton Flyers are playing right now at Rhode Island. hopefully Dayton wins today, but i'm not holding my breath.

i did not watch any of the Manchester United game today. i woke up and saw they were winning at halftime. i decided to go right back to bed. they did win today over Fulham, 3-0. i can't wait to see what they do against PSG in a couple of days in the Champions League.

you would think the world was ending...

they are saying by this time Saturday night, we should have around 6 inches of snow on the ground. you would have thought they said the world was going to end. the grocery store was a fucking madhouse today. and i know it's a really great day when i finally eat lunch around 4 in the afternoon. joy.

but, all that being said, i got enough food, liquor, and my pills, so if we do get snowed in for some fucking reason, we're good. i got mom her own rum so she can stop taking mine. i can't wait to see her say fuck it and start drinking it. that's one way to lift her spirits.

i must have spent around $300 today between everything, plus getting gas. joy.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

The Big Bang Theory was really funny last night.

Young Sheldon was hilarious last night.

Gotham was fucking great last night.

the New York Rangers lost to the Islanders, 4-3. of course, the Islanders only had 1 shot in the 3rd period, and that was the winning goal. Lose For Hughes in full effect.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW.

i will be on here early tomorrow, mostly because the Rangers and Islanders play again tomorrow afternoon. thankfully, i won't watch much of that because i am planning on watching all of the NXT UK Takeover Blackpool live on WWE Network.

i'm not really high on the what the New York Yankees did today. i'd rather them just spend the damn money and get two players in their prime than try to get players that are cheaper but may work out. and i should think that way as a fan, it's not my money.

so, the other beautiful woman i talked about yesterday just tried to run this i have some money but i need your credit card to get it scam. jesus fucking christ people, how stupid do these assholes think i am. and honestly, talk to me for 6 fucking months and then you pull that shit. the world is full of fucking assholes. never forget that kids.

if we do get a good amount of snow, i'll try to get some pics.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

best of luck in retirement Rick.

sometimes i talk myself to sleep...

i think i didn't sleep more than 3 hours or so last night. i tossed and turned most of the evening. i'm not sure why i was so damn restless. maybe i see the end, maybe there's a blind turn in the road, maybe tomorrow is something i'm dreading... i have no damn clue.

i did send out 5 poems last night to Reprehensible Digest. Art mentioned something on LinkedIn that he wanted more work. thank god i have been prolific for most of this year. he said that he should have enough now to have plenty of ammunition in the next few weeks. so, i believe that will be a good thing.

i didn't care for the Champions League draw Manchester United got. i don't see a way for them to get out of the group stage, sadly.

the New York Yankees lost last night to the White Sox, 4-1. that's the first time the White Sox have won a series in the Bronx since 2005. the Yankees start a series tonight at home against the Tigers. hopefully, they will win.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. i fully expect Faysal to be voted out tonight and i hope Scottie wins the Battle Back. i figure the producers want Bayleigh to win.

NXT was really good last night.

Lucha Underground was excellent last night.

Mr. Mercedes was great last night.
