Happy Halloween...

 i was absolutely gutted last night. it hit me hard enough that i gave in to my inner demons and shaved my head. i haven't done that in years. especially in my 20's, i would grow my hair out in the summer and then shave it all off in the winter. maybe last night was the beginning of my mid-life crisis. that certainly wouldn't surprise me. 


for everything the Yankees did right in Game 4, the complete opposite happened in Game 5. they started off great last night. they were up 5-0. and then came the errors, the mental lapses, etc. etc. that have plagued this team all season long. the Dodgers did what good teams do when your opponent gives you extra outs. they got 5 unearned runs in the 5th last night to tie the game. the Yankees actually took the lead again at 6-5. but, the bullpen faltered and that was that. the Dodgers won 7-6 to win the World Series 4-1. i was really hoping that i would wake up to the news today that Aaron Boone was out as manager. but, i guess Hal is nothing like his father. anyone with a brain knows that fundamental mistakes come down to a coaching staff not drilling it into the players heads to make sure they do all the little things right. this should be a crazy offseason. the Juan Soto sweepstakes start on Monday. my best guess is he will go to whatever team makes him the highest paid player ever in MLB. i am 95% sure that won't be the Yankees. if just making the World Series is good enough, i really wish the team would change the mantra. it certainly isn't win or bust anymore.





the season finale of Grotesquerie was a bit of a mind fuck last night. i really hope there will be a season 2.



AEW Dynamite was pretty good last night.






Abbott Elementary was pretty funny last night.


Inside the NFL was very good last night.


the USWNT won last night over Argentina, 3-0.



enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:








on the DVR tonight will be Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage and NJPW.


i might watch some of the Texans vs. Jets tonight on Amazon Prime.



i have my last load of laundry i need to fold. be right back...


ok, last load of laundry is done and put away. it's been fucking raining here most of the day. so, standing and folding clothes have become an event of pain tolerance.


i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to get her back injection done.


i hope everyone has a safe Halloween.


enjoy the candy.


until tomorrow...

welcome to the weekend...

 so, i took a shower around 4:30 AM this morning. i find sometimes my body really likes doing this kind of shit at the weirdest fucking hours. i got to sleep around 6 AM. and of course, i was up around 11. but, i do know why i got some sound sleep.


the New York Rangers won last night at Carolina, 3-2, in OT to go up 3-0 in the series. the Rangers have won their first 7 games of the playoffs, just like they did when they last won the Stanley Cup in 1994. i don't want to get ahead of myself, but the 1994 comparisons are giving me some really good vibes. Game 4 is Saturday night at Carolina.








here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:



here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:




the New York Yankees lost last night at home to Houston, 4-3. they play tonight at that dump in Tampa Bay.




both episodes of Young Sheldon were good last night. George's death hit me like a ton of bricks. hard to believe the series finale is next week.


Welcome to Wrexham was excellent last night.


enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Real Time with Bill Maher and Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.


i'm sure i will watch some of the NBA and NHL playoffs tonight.


the weather has been pretty quiet here today. made it nice to air out the house some.


i'm guessing i will be on here tomorrow sometime in the morning.


until then kids...

there is a storm brewing inside of my head...

 i had a conversation with the spanish princess the other night that has had quite the lasting impression on my brain. i've been trying to cobble a poem together and i have a few words strung together and then the engine just quits working. so, there is this tension brewing, and i know damn well the only way to "fix" it is with an explosion. so, i'm bracing for that and hoping i can get most of it down on the blank page. welcome to life as a poet. especially when you haven't quite figured out how to get out of your own fucking way.


the Yankees lost yesterday at the Royals, 5-2. they finished the season 82-80.and of course, it looks like most of the coaches will be back next season, so i guess they are now the living embodiment of insanity.







the New Orleans Saints lost at home yesterday to Tampa Bay, 26-9. thank god i didn't see much of the game.



Big Brother was good last night.


Billions was excellent last night.




Power Book IV: Force was crazy last night.


Last Week Tonight was fucking hilarious. so happy it is back now.



enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:








on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and Monday Night Raw.


i did listen to episode 467 of Notsam Wrestling this afternoon. you can hear that by going here:




i did take mom to the foot doctor today. after that, she wanted to go to JoAnn Fabrics. she found a few things she wanted. 


i will probably watch a little of the NFL game tonight between Seattle and the Giants.


mom moved her doctor's appointment tomorrow morning until an afternoon in November. so, maybe i'll actually get some writing done tomorrow.


i hope everyone had a great weekend.


i will hopefully be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the Champions League.



until tomorrow kids...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck war.


fuck the police.

stay healthy.


wash your fucking hands.


stay off the fucking streets.


get the fucking shot.

hello frustration, my name is...

 i thought i was doing pretty good today. i went to Rite Aid to get my prescriptions and noticed the parking lot was basically empty. i figured i wouldn't have to wait in line. oh, silly me. the pharmacy was closed. just fucking great. two prescriptions ready in there and ones i need as well. just fucking great. i went to the local grocery store just around the corner. i was so pissed, i forgot something mom wanted. of course, i remembered it right as i got into the Highlander. i got what was left on the grocery list at Kroger. mind you, it has been raining or drizzling all fucking day. my arthritis has had a good day, that's for sure. so, after i ate lunch, i called Rite Aid. no answer. so, my hunch was the pharmacy was now open and they were too fucking busy to answer the phones. luckily, it is only a 5 minute drive to it. i saw a car in the drive thru, so i knew the pharmacy was open. i got in line and waited. thankfully, both of mine were ready and no charge. i was behind two people in line. by the time i got done, there was about 12 people in line. i guess the problem is the CVS in town closed and the pharmacist that had worked at Rite Aid for years said fuck it one day and quit. it has been clusterfuck 101 since. so how was your day?


the New York Rangers lost last night to Colorado in the shootout, 3-2. the Rangers played better, but still not good enough. hopefully, that will change tonight at the fucking Islanders.






NXT was excellent last night.








The Voice was very good last night.





Deadliest Catch was good last night.


Tales From The Territories was excellent last night.


here are your NBA highlights from last night:



enjoy some music:







and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, The Masked Singer, two episodes of American Horror Story: NYC and Vice News Tonight.


the New York Knicks play tonight at home against Charlotte.


i guess mom has a physical therapy session tomorrow afternoon. so, i will try to get the blog done in the morning.


i will definitely get it done before Manchester United plays tomorrow in the Europa League.



now i need to figure out what i am making for dinner tonight. this should be interesting as mom has had an upset stomach for about 2 days. joy.


until tomorrow kids...
