well, i did make some money...

 i thought the Super Bowl was pretty good last night. if it wasn't for that late holding call against the Eagles, i think the game would have gone down as an instant classic. i was about 1 yard away from making twice as much as i did last night, but the Eagles wide receiver who i needed to score went out of bounds at the one. i made $70 last night. if he scored a touchdown there, i would have had another $86. i looked at my mother and just laughed, welcome to the world of gambling. the Chiefs beat the Eagles last night, 38-35.

the New York Knicks play tonight at home against the Nets.

i have a few bets going tonight. hopefully, i will do as good as i did yesterday. or, even better.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i did go to Rite Aid today to get my prescription. it was mostly painless.

i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to see her back doctor.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

and here comes the snow...

of course, the fuckers left the trash can lid open, so i had to get out there unless i wanted a trash can full of snow. i had to go out and get mom's medicine while it was really coming down. thankfully, the roads were still warm enough that nothing was really sticking. i'm sure when it gets colder tonight the real fun will begin.

another day, another injury for the New York Yankees...

The Voice was really good last night.

WWE Backstage was excellent last night.

the Dayton Flyers played their worst game of the season last night. they couldn't shoot worth a shit, yet managed to defeat George Mason 62-55. that victory gets them a share of the A10 title. if they win at home on Friday night against Davidson, they will have the title outright.

the New York Rangers defeated the New York Islanders 4-3 last night in OT.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Masked Singer, NXT, AEW and Miz & Mrs.

the joys of a bad back...

so i took a shower last night and got the warm water to hit my lower back. i think i did too good of a job as i had to shit right after i got out of the shower. talk about feeling like you just wasted the last twenty minutes of your life. of course, i sit at this computer so much each day, i doubt i'm doing myself any favors. my back tightened up while i was sitting in the waiting room this morning while mom was getting her blood work done. not the easiest thing to have happen when you're checking out this older black woman's legs and don't want to come off as a fucking creep. good times.

we went to Perkins for breakfast after mom got her blood work done. that's the only place around here who has coffee i can stand. no lie.

the New York Yankees start a series tonight at home against the Angels. the Yankees magic number to clinch is 3. i'm hoping they are drinking some champagne at some point on this homestand.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i love that Bray Wyatt is being used more and more now.

The Deuce was excellent last night.

i've been really enjoying Ken Burns new documentary about country music. i'm a sucker for history and all these old songs are reminding me of what my grandmother used to sing when i was in her house as a child.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Mayans M.C., Mr. Mercedes, The Jim Jefferies Show and They Shall Not Grow Old. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the Champions League started today. i watched a little bit of it. i'm not that interested when Manchester United isn't in it. of course, i have to get used to watching United play on Thursdays again because of the Europa League.

i still have the trash to do, so that's all for me. i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

have a good one kids...

today has been one of my lazy days. not that i haven't done things. did a couple loads of laundry for my mother, got the paper and mail in town. it's just the weather is so damn nice that all i have the energy to do is eat a little candy and sleep in my chair.

mom hasn't felt dizzy since the surgery so she is very happy about that. she's worried that she stills hears sounds in her ear that shouldn't be there. i tell her to not worry about it, just let the body rest and heal, but what the fuck do i know... i told her the bright side of losing all her hearing in her left ear is she won't hear me as well when i yell at the basketball games. i sit on her left at the games.

the New York Yankees got out to a nice lead last night and i felt good. and then, the bullpen shit the bed and somehow 4-0 became a 11-5 loss. ouch. they play again tonight. hopefully they can get back to their winning ways.

been flipping between soccer, playoff hockey and playoff basketball today. rinse and repeat for tomorrow as well.

i'm hoping i will be awake for ROH this evening. i believe it is on after the Ten Commandments. there's a poem there i believe.

i'll probably do another post in the morning tomorrow as around 11 am my day gets crazy. Manchester United plays in the morning and the New York Rangers play game 2 of their series at noon. plus, it's Easter and it's also the day to pick up the trash and recyclables. there's a poem there as well.

hope everyone is having a great weekend. enjoy the candy. be well. be creative. be the shining light hiding the train.

peace...

"Therapy was the biggest romance of my life." - Dar Williams

time just bleeds together into one long nightmare

that title is what happens when you spend a good portion of the day listening to The Flaming Lips. the mind relaxes into a state of consciousness that is out of this realm. either that or the smell of that chili i made for dinner tonight is piercing my brain cells.

let us begin with the Sunday night shows. True Detective went where i thought it was going to go after episode #2, and that opens up a ton of new directions the last few episodes could go. Shameless was brilliant once again. Girls was uncomfortably funny, especially with Lena Dunham in an ill-fitting bikini for nearly the entire episode. House of Lies had a few laugh out loud moments. Episodes was what it was.

i caught a few minutes of the NBA All-Star game. the final score didn't surprise me. i'm actually a little surprised one team didn't reach 200 points. that will happen in my lifetime the way the game is trending.

there are a few things i'm looking forward to tonight. Monday Night Raw is a given. the last one before the next ppv. that usually means it will be good. i'm just hoping it keeps me awake. and that is for the next thing i'm looking forward to... The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. if it is like i think it is going to be like, i really should enjoy it. plus, this will be the first time in my life the show will be based in New York City. i believe the last time it was there was 1972. plus, Jimmy has a ton of great guests the first week.

i did catch a little of the team USA women's hockey win today to send them to the gold medal game against Canada. that should be their usual war. hopefully the right team wins this time.

the rest of today was spent laying around, trying to relax knowing damn well yet another cold front will be moving through tonight. i know my body will be in agony when that happens. plus, we're supposed to get mostly freezing rain followed by snow. that will be a bitch to deal with.

no update on the pain front. it is still there but i do believe my mind is winning the war of ignoring it. of course, that doesn't mean it will go away. it simply allows me to live my life just a tad bit better. i go back to the doctor on Thursday. i should have enough pain pills to make it to then. should.

had to check on my chili. i usually turn it down after a good 7 hours. i'll let it bathe in those juices for another hour or so and then it will be time to add a little cheese and sour cream and enjoy. i don't believe we have any cornbread or i'd make that to go with it. don't get the impression that i actually like to cook. there's just a few things i do really well in the kitchen. and no, one of them is not toast.

i saw all but one of the cats today. not sure if the missing one was hiding or was trying to flee. i'm sure if it gets caught out in the ice storm, it will be on the way back rather quickly. i thought we almost had a bird commit suicide today. flew right into the bay window about as fast as i have seen any bird do it. it was in the snow for a little bit and then flew away. it probably heard me getting the shovel ready to take it to the cats.

that is all for yet another Monday in the snow in Ohio. hope everyone is well. enjoying life. or at least attempting to fool yourself into believing that you do. be well my friends. have yourself a bowl of chili.

peace.
