the day after...

 i hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. mom wanted to cook, so i let her. that made her happy. the food was good, that made her happy as well. she couldn't understand why she was tired later on though. i guess she thinks she should be able to do at 70 what she was able to do at 40. one day she'll figure out that isn't how life works. i cleaned out a good portion of the garage yesterday. i figured i better do it before it got any colder. i'm hoping they will have enough room for what they need to do for the kitchen in there now. 

i did watch all 3 NFL games yesterday. i'm still kind of shocked that the Lions lost and looked so bad against Green Bay. the other two games were blowouts.

i did watch some college basketball yesterday as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown. i'll watch NXT Level Up at some point tonight on Peacock.

the New York Rangers play today at Philadelphia.

i'm sure mom will want to watch the Dolphins at the Jets today.

the Dayton Flyers play at home tonight against Youngstown St.

i'm sure at some point today i'll put up our outside Christmas decorations. 3 wreaths and a flag. that is about as far as i will go.

i should be on here in the morning tomorrow before Ohio State plays that team from up north.

i have never been a big shopper on Black Friday. never plan to be either. if you happen to be, i hope you find what you want and get some good deals.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

i do plan on watching some of the football games today. Buffalo plays at Detroit. the Giants are at the Cowboys and the Patriots play at the Vikings tonight.

the Dayton Flyers play NC State this afternoon. hopefully, they will shoot way better than they did yesterday against Wisconsin.

this is going to be the first time i am doing Thanksgiving as the main one cooking. so, i am interested to see how i do, especially since i will be cooking a few things i haven't done before.

i should be on here tomorrow in the afternoon most likely.

i hope everyone has a great day. much like i expected, mom slept until around 11 this morning. when she told me last night she was going to be up to watch the parade, i laughed.

i need to go make her breakfast, so that's all for me kids.

what a crazy day...

 so, i found some baseball and football cards today. both at Rite-Aid. the football box had a nice hit of an Aaron Murray rookie card from 2014 Topps that was autographed and had a piece of his uniform on it. that was pretty sweet. in the baseball box, i found a 1990 Fleer Ken Griffey Jr. in the pack in the box. between those 2 cards alone, they are worth more than i paid for the 2 boxes combined. good day.

mom has decided to change her room around, so after i got done with the grocery shopping today, i had to help her with that. and of course, we have to get it done before my sister gets down here tomorrow so my mother can prove to her she can still do things. and you wonder why there are days why i wish i was dead...

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

Industry was very good last night.

Axios was good last night.

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

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice.

the grocery stores were a little crazy today. i think i got everything for around $100 . that's pretty good. i'm sure the stores will be crazier tomorrow, especially since there is a chance for snow.

Manchester United won in the Champions League today, 4-1. i got to see bits and pieces of the game. thankfully, i will be drinking tonight.

i still have trash to pick up here and next door, so that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

wear your mask.

a bit of snow...

we got maybe an inch of snow last night. the person that delivers the newspaper was kind enough to throw it up near the garage door. i didn't have to put on my boots to go get it this morning. and that also means i should be inside for the rest of the day.

Ohio State got out to a 21-0 lead yesterday against Penn State. and then, it looked like they either took the foot off the neck or simply forgot how to play defense against a running quarterback and hold on to the fucking ball. Penn State scored 17 straight points to make the game very interesting. but, like all good teams do, bend but never break. Ohio State won 28-17. now all focus turns to that shit school up north.

the New York Rangers got down 4-0 last night. after wrestling was over, i went to go check out the score to see how much they lost by. holy fuck, they came back to beat Montreal 6-5. that's the first the Rangers have won a game in the regular season coming back from being 4 goals down since 1991.

Bluegrass Underground was excellent last night.

ROH was good last night.

Lil Rel Howery: Live in Crenshaw was fucking hilarious last night.

i'm saving Us for when my sister gets down here over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night.

NXT Takeover: War Games was fucking crazy last night. a great heel turn, a come back that all of us have longed for (welcome home Kevin Owens) and one of the craziest off the top of a cage spots i have ever seen. hopefully Survivor Series will be as good tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Watchmen, Silicon Valley, Mrs. Fletcher, Shameless, Ray Donovan and Dublin Murders. i will be watching WWE Survivor Series for most of the evening.

Manchester United plays at Sheffield United today. i'm hoping the boys can get a road win they desperately need.

the New Orleans Saints play today at home against Carolina. hopefully the Saints can get to 9-2 with a win today.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i have to get those tests done in the morning and i have to take mom to physical therapy in the afternoon.

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

the heart against the brain...

today is the day where Ohio State plays that shit school up north. and this is the first year in a long time where my heart is not fully aligned with my brain. i will never root for Michigan but even i can tell, they are a better team this year. but, the game is not played on paper. and honestly, when (please, that looks better than if) Ohio State wins today, it will be even sweeter knowing Michigan will have no chance to win the Big Ten title or play for a national championship this season.

the grocery store yesterday wasn't too bad. i went in the afternoon and it was mostly zombies. i felt bad for the young black guy ringing the bell for the Salvation Army. he was trying his best to keep it lively, but you could tell between the weather and the time of day, no one could give two shits.

the Dayton Flyers started off ice fucking cold yesterday against Oklahoma. they dug themselves a pretty deep hole. but, like a couple thousand times before, they dug themselves out of that hole in the second half. sadly, they couldn't hold on to that lead and lost 65-54. 2 observations from their games in the Bahamas... the free throw shooting must get better, and they will not win any games this season where Josh Cunningham only gets 5 points. their next game is at home on November 30th against Mississippi State.

the New York Rangers laid an egg on national television yesterday, losing at Philadelphia, 4-0. the game was so bad that instead of watching the 3rd period, i took a shower instead. the Rangers play Washington this afternoon at home.

VICE was very interesting last night.

both episodes of Room 104 last night were great.

Mike Judge Presents: Tales From the Tour Bus was about Bootsy Collins last night. it was great.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

Manchester United plays this morning at home against Crystal Palace. i don't think the game is on television, so i'll just follow it online.

so by this afternoon i will be either really happy or beyond fucking pissed. United, Ohio State and the Rangers play back to back to back. i hope at least a couple of them win. it's been raining and i could use the alcohol.

i only got 4 hours of sleep and wouldn't you know, this morning the garage door started to fuck up. it never fails.

my sister is going back home today. 3 days is about as long as she can stand to stay here. she's a little bitchy this morning, so i know she would rather be at her home.

that's all for me kids. i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

well, i guess i have shopped on Black Friday now...

mom made a purchase online last night from Office Depot. the paper she got for the printer had to be picked up at the store. so, she got the notification this morning that it was ready at the store. we went this afternoon to get that and looked around at some of the other shit on sale. after that, we went to Dollar Tree to find some toys and some new cooking utensils. mom likes to use things until they basically are nothing but shit. she was bitching about having a hard time about getting the beaters out of the hand mixer. i laughed and said the hand mixer is only 40 fucking years old, i can't imagine what the problem is. and all her table and tea spoons are so damn old you can't read what size they are anymore. so we looked for some of that shit and found some good shit, Betty Crocker even. plus, we just found out last night that one of the kids (i guess he's a cousin or something, fuck, i've never met him) likes dinosaurs and i remembered seeing some while we were there at Dollar Tree earlier in the week. sure enough. so, i have finally shopped on Black Friday.

Thanksgiving went pretty well here. everything mom made was good. my sister has not manged to get on my nerves yet. and amazingly, my blood sugar was actually a decent number this morning. maybe i'm figuring this shit out now.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

Life in Pieces was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be two episodes of NJPW.

i'll be watching the New York Rangers take on Detroit for most of the evening. hopefully the boys can get another victory.

i had some tasty leftovers for lunch today and i'm guessing there will be more leftovers for dinner.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow before Manchester United plays. that game will go right into the Ohio State vs. that team up North game at Noon. and since mom and i will be at the Dayton vs. Akron college basketball game tomorrow night, i'd rather do the blog before i could possible be fucking livid to the nth degree.

i did get my copy of Ally Malinenko's new book, Fitting the Ocean in Your Mouth today in the mail. i'm probably going to read a little of that tonight. i told Ally that if i find the time and get the book done before the end of the month, i may try to do a little review of it on here. so stay tuned.

i hope everyone had a good holiday. i hope if you went out shopping either last night or today, you found everything you were looking for. and to anyone reading this in Egypt, i doubt i have any words that could do your sorrow and grief any good.

now that it seems the world has got back to its normal, bloody self, i hope everyone has a great weekend.

a sucker punch from mother nature

so, this is how my morning started out. my back was killing me as the cold front was coming through. and then after seeing my mother off to her appointments for the day, this fucking shit happened out at the farm:

the beauty of all this is the wind is still fucking blowing, nearly 12 hours later. i have no clue how much this is going to cost to fix this, but i'm pretty sure there's going to be two numbers to the left of the comma. i can't wait to get rid of this place.

i haven't done much today other than try to sleep and forget about the morning. thankfully, my Sunday was much better.

my friend Paul came over to watch some of the early football games. for most of the time, we ended up watching some soccer from Italy. he doesn't have all the channels i do. that was a fun time.

he left before the Dayton Flyers took on Boston College. Dayton played pretty damn good, leading for nearly the entire game. i do like how they finished the game on a strong run. that's a great sign from a team playing their 3rd game in 4 days. here are some highlights from the 65-53 win.

after that, the New York Rangers destroyed Montreal 5-0. easily, the most complete game the Rangers have played all season. here are the highlights:

the Sunday night shows were excellent. The Newsroom was great. Homeland was holy fucking shit great. and The Affair was great as well. i could have watched all 3 of those shows all night long, that's how good they were.

tonight is my usual clusterfuck on television. i'll be bouncing between two football games (including the Saints at home against the Ravens. MUST FUCKING WIN TIME BOYS), Monday Night Raw, The Voice, and Gotham. i'll probably watch wrestling since they are coming off a very newsworthy ppv. of course, that means i'll be using YouTube late tonight to see what i missed on the other shows. also tonight, i'm going to try to squeeze in the Men in Blazers show on NBCSN.

my fantasy football teams did pretty good yesterday. i'm still convinced that the 3-8 team that has a 19 point lead going into tonight is going to find a way to blow it. but, i have won the other game by 49 points. that team is now 9-3.

that's all for me today. i'll be on here tomorrow after my appointment at the eye doctor. i'm interested to see just how fucking blind i am these days.

hope everyone had a great weekend. if not, blame it on Bill Cosby. i have a poem swimming in my head about him that could be fucking great.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
