a decent night of sleep...

 i think i know the reason i got a decent night of sleep finally. i think the crack in my wall let some light in. thank you Leonard Cohen for that line. i know it was only a little over 4 hours, but it felt like a deep fucking sleep. emphasis on fucking of course.

i wrote 3 more poems last night for the book. i'm up to 20 now for the book, half way there. i'm really hoping i can get to 40 before my birthday. that would be impressive, at least to me.

the Dayton Flyers lost last night at UMass, 76-72. another awful case of playing down to their competition and paying for it. all that good work they did in the non-conference part of their season has gone to waste.

AEW Dynamite was good last night.

Inside the NFL was very good last night.

Abbott Elementary was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight.

Notre Dame plays Penn State tonight in the semifinals of the college football playoff.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the Devils. 

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

i know we're supposed to get 2 to 4 inches of snow tomorrow. joy.

that's all for me today kids. i need to go get started on dinner. meatloaf sandwiches on sourdough bread.

best of luck to all the gamblers tonight.

until tomorrow.

 for every USA soccer fan, they know exactly what that means. and i'm sure every fan of the Mexican national team is sick of it. tough shit. the USMNT defeated Mexico last night, 2-0, to win their 3rd straight Concacaf Nations League title.

i got 11 out of the sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament. not as good as i wanted and not as bad as i feared.

replacing the pain with constant movement (sort of)...

 so, we're under a tornado watch until midnight. damn good thing i started my laundry this morning. the third load is in the dryer right now. between that, updating my iPhone and getting the appointment for the oil change for the Highlander set, this has been a day of constant fucking chaos. i did sneak in a little nap. i almost managed three hours straight of sleep last night. at least when i woke up at 8 this morning, i actually felt like i got some rest. that was a change.

AEW Dynamite was really good last night.

both episodes of Abbott Elementary were very funny last night.

The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.

i have clothes to go fold...

laundry is all done now.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get back home from taking mom to her appointment in the afternoon.

i did make the oil change for Tuesday afternoon next week.

now, i have to figure out dinner. part of me just wants to order a fucking pizza so i can sit back and relax tonight. the other part of me knows there is plenty of food in the house.

decisions, decisions...

oh, for those of you keeping track of such things, when i got the blog done last night, i made mom go out walking with me. we went around the cul de sac in about 15 minutes. she's like a puppy sometimes when she gets outside... so excited she doesn't realize how fast she is walking with her rollator. if i had her on a leash, i would have had to pull it a few times...

until tomorrow kids...

ohio against the world...

 i am still buzzing from the Ohio State game last night. Ohio State defeated Notre Dame 17-14 on a TD with 1 second left in the game. Ryan Day had me all fired up in the postgame. you could tell just how pissed he was. and honestly, i don't blame him at all. how Notre Dame only had 10 guys on the field for the last two plays is beyond me. and their coach, who i love, his explanation doesn't make any sense. all in all, an instant classic. 

i did watch a ton of college football yesterday:

here are your MLS highlights from last night:

AEW Collision was excellent last night.

Manchester United won 1-0 yesterday at Burnley. what a fucking goal from Bruno.

the gambler's christmas day...

 i always have thought of the first Sunday of the NFL season as the day all the gamblers start licking their lips and scheming how to make some money. being one of those degenerates now, i like think i have a good plan and i won't get too greedy. of course, if i win a couple hundred dollars today, all bets are off. hell, i don't bet enough to win a couple hundred dollars on any day. honestly, any day i win more than i bet is a good one. those days don't come around much.

Ohio State defeated Youngstown State yesterday, 35-7. i think the QB job should be settled now. and it was nice to see Marvin Harrison Jr. go off once again.

the USMNT defeated Uzbekistan yesterday 3-0. the 2 late goals make the score look way better than what it really was. this looked like what they have always looked like under Gregg Berhalter. just good enough to beat shit teams and never good enough to beat anyone good.

the Yankees lost to the Brewers yesterday, 9-2. they will try to avoid the sweep this afternoon. at least the Old Timer's Day events brought back some good memories.

i did watch plenty of college football yesterday.

 we got some more snow today. nothing like they are getting in the Northeast, but more than i want in the middle of fucking March. the contractor did get mostly done today. for some fucking reason, mom told him not to bother with the cardboard, that i would put it in the recycling tonight. i guess she didn't know there was 4 boxes full of shit left in the garage. that took me a hour to get through. my back will be total shit now for the rest of the week. joy.

i never made it to Rite Aid today, so i guess that will be my first stop tomorrow.

 i went out this morning to pull weeds and feed the birds. it actually felt pretty good out there for a change. the humidity wasn't stifling. of course, it was also before 8 AM. so, between doing all that and watering the tomato plants, my back was screaming by late morning. while icing it down, i decided to binge the rest of season 2 of We Hunt Together. i think it was pretty good and clearly, they wrote the finale hoping there would be a season 3.

the Yankees lost last night in Boston, 6-5 in 10 innings. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.

the New York Yankees won last night over Tampa, 4-3. they will go for the sweep tonight.

not as bad or good for that matter, as expected...

 so, i barely, and i mean, fucking barely, got mom to her appointment this morning on time. i dread anytime she has an appointment in the morning as my mother isn't fully functional before fucking noon. so, when i pulled into the parking lot at 10:14 for a 10:15 appointment, my adrenaline was pumping. so, it wasn't until the doctor came in that anyone mentioned her MRI results. and of course, that someone was me. the first thing the doctor wants to do is surgery. now, i know why he wants that, as that is how he makes the most money. mom has no interest in back surgery. so, he decided that she could continue her injections. they are going to try another spot to focus on to see if they do better for her. that will be in a few weeks. then we have a follow up visit a month after that. i'm really hoping the injection works this time. if not, i think back surgery might be the only hope mom will have given how severe her spinal stenosis is now.

i did make it to the bank after we got home. and i got gas as well. $53 to fill up. and that was with 50 cents off a gallon. fuck me runnin'.

the New York Yankees won last night in Baltimore, 6-2. hopefully, they will win again tonight. they are on a win pace right now that is insane, considering they are on the same pace the 1998 Yankees were on. that is the best baseball team i have ever seen play.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

the NBA playoffs start back up tonight. the Eastern Conference finals start up tonight between the Celtics and Heat. i'll try to catch some of that game tonight as well.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done. of course, it is supposed to rain tomorrow. just my fucking luck.

i need to go get the rest of the marigolds planted. i thought mom was going to help me, but she is napping at the moment. i'm not going to wake her up.

the beauty of running on fumes...

 so, my mother wanted McDonalds for breakfast this morning. she decided today was her "cheat" day. there's 30 minutes of my life i'll never get back. while we were eating breakfast, her accountant called to tell her the taxes were done and ready for her to sign and pay. so, she asked me to take her over there this morning. no big deal really, just a few minutes from the house. so, we get in there and she signs and then she realizes she didn't bring her credit card. that old trick again. so, i had to pay for her taxes. and that started the snowball running downhill today. i went to the local grocery store and got some things i forgot yesterday. i then went to Big Lots to get some stuff. i was shocked they had baseball and football cards there. i even found some WWE cards i hadn't seen before. i had a 20% off coupon, so that came in handy. i spent around $30 on the cards and there was about $75 worth of them in the packs. i was going to go to Menards after Big Lots, but i forgot the fucking rebate at the house for Menards. thank god i realized that before i got too deep into the trip there. i found just about everything i was looking for at Menards. of course, that came to over $150 worth of stuff. 

now mind you, i have done all of this on less than 4 hours of sleep. i'm pretty damn sure the candle burning at both ends is nearly out now.

the Yankees lost last night to Toronto, 6-5. that means the game tonight at Toronto is pretty much a MUST win. if they don't win tonight, they might have to sweep Tampa to make the playoffs.

the season finale of Big Brother went as i expected last night. Xavier won 9-0, as he should have. 

AEW Dynamite was excellent last night.

Rhodes to The Top was pretty good last night.

The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.

Alter Ego put me to sleep last night.

American Horror Story: Double Feature started part 2 last night. Death Valley definitely gave me some X Files vibes for sure.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, What We Do in the Shadows, Dark Side of the Ring and Cake. i did watch NXT UK this afternoon. it was really good.

i imagine if i get bored tonight, i might watch some of the Bengals vs. Jaguars.

i did watch a little bit of the Columbus Crew match last night. i'm so happy they beat Cruz Azul to win the Campeones Cup.

i have nothing planned tomorrow. now, if mom cuts me a check, i might make a trip to the bank. hard to believe October starts tomorrow.

my back is begging for some ice and my massage chair, so that's all for me kids.

 i'm not a big fan of getting up before the sun does. of course, my mind doesn't exactly let me sleep much anymore. i can't turn off the genius switch. so, probably like yesterday... less than 4 hours in the bed and i'll get a good 1 or 2 while in my massage chair. good times.

the Yankees lost yesterday to Baltimore, 4-3. i was not a happy camper after that one. their lead to host the wild card game is now down to 1/2 game. joy. they better fucking win today.

i did watch some college football games yesterday.

ROH was very good last night.

the USMNT takes on Canada tonight down in Nashville for the second round of World Cup qualifying. hopefully, the boys will get a victory tonight.

i believe it rained most of the night, so there's another reason why i probably didn't sleep much. add in some nerve pain, and...

hard to believe that tomorrow is Labor Day. 

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