what could have been...

 last night sucked for the most part. i can handle losing. i hate it, but i can handle it. what i tend to lose my shit on, is when one (or more) of my teams, beat themselves. yeah, it was one of those nights. 

Ohio State lost at Oregon last night, 32-31. injuries and mistakes. that pretty much sums up the game.

the New York Rangers lost at home to Utah last night, 6-5, in OT.

the USMNT won last night against Panama, 2-0. it wasn't pretty, but it was a win. i'll take it.

Austin City Limits was good last night.

Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night. Ariana Grande is a natural for that show.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the Big Brother season finale, The Penguin and Last Week Tonight.

the New Orleans Saints play today at home against Tampa Bay.

i did watch plenty of college football yesterday:

the NLCS starts tonight, Mets at Dodgers. the ALCS starts tomorrow night, Cleveland at Yankees.

i'm sure i will watch some NFL games today as well as hockey, baseball and soccer.

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

i did get our absentee ballots mailed out yesterday.

best of luck to everyone gambling today.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

felt like the old times...

 so, mom actually decided to go to her physical therapy session today. that gave me a chance to write some poems. i did get five written. i think they are pretty good, especially since all of them came to me in a matter of twenty minutes. after that, she wanted something to drink. i went and got her a large diet coke. after i got her home, i needed to go to Rite Aid to get my prescriptions and to Big Lots to use this coupon i had. i was really happy that Rite Aid was able to fix the fuck up that Kroger did. and amazingly, the 3 prescriptions cost me $7. i was fucking thrilled at that. i got some baseball cards, some dipping sauces that mom wanted, and some bandages she needed, all at Big Lots. after my $5 coupon, that all cost me $13. not a bad fucking shopping day. the baseball cards were two 2021 Topps Allen & Ginter packs. one had a mini rare rookie card in it that is going for over $10 these days. that made me pretty happy.

Vice News Tonight had two great shows this week.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Celebrity Big Brother and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on Peacock.

i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the morning. hopefully, i will be in a good mood.

i think the USA men's hockey team plays Canada tonight at the Winter Olympics. so, basically, i might get a few hours of sleep before i get up to watch United in the morning. add in all the Super Bowl shit this weekend and i might as well forget about getting any sleep.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

if you are gambling on the Super Bowl, best of luck to you.

if i had money to gamble, i would take the Bengals at +4. i would take the over and i would take tails for the coin toss. now, if anyone out there bets that and wins, feel free to send me a little something.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

another hot and muggy day...

 i swear, i can't sleep more than 4 hours. i went to bed after 2 this morning and got up a little after 6. fuck me.

it felt muggy as hell outside this morning. i watered the tomatoes because i know damn well, the rain chances around here today are slim and none.

mom and i went to Menards last night. we got a new suet bird feeder and more hot pepper suet. we also got some bamboo stakes for the tomatoes. i swear, those things are growing like they are on steroids. i was hoping we were going to find some plants to use on the back porch, but they didn't have anything mom liked. after Menards, she wanted her frozen coke from Burger King. i went to the one on the way home (sort of) and there's 20 minutes of my life i'll never get back. the frozen coke machine was defrosting so i just got her some water instead. her allergies were acting up. fun times.

the Yankees lost again last night to Boston, 4-2. hopefully, they won't get swept again this afternoon.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

the Euro 2020 games yesterday were crazy. Denmark defeated Wales, 4-0. Italy defeated Austria, 2-1 in extra time. today, Netherlands take on Czech Republic at noon and Belgium plays Portugal at 3 this afternoon.

at the Copa America today, Brazil faces Ecuador and Venezuela takes on Peru.

AEW was really good last night.

ROH was good last night as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of Batwoman, The Chi, Black Monday, Flatbush Misdemeanors and Desus & Mero.

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

welcome to the weekend...

 so, for the last few days, when my body gets a large dose of pain, my reaction has been to go to sleep. not by choice mind you. it's kind of like the old Jason Isbell line about fading to black. not exactly how i would love to feel these days, but i know what the alternative is...

i did send out 13 poems today. 3 to The Beatnik Cowboy and 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash and Synchronized Chaos (already accepted for publication). when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Young Sheldon was good last night.

B Positive was very funny last night.

Clarice was excellent last night.

both episodes of Cake were weird as fuck last night.

Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

the New York Rangers had their asses handed to them last night, losing to Boston, 4-0.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Yankees won today over the Tigers, 4-2.

i think mom and i are going to try to make some fish tacos tonight. it should be interesting.

i've been casually watching some college basketball the last few days. i have no dog in the fights, so i really don't give a shit. and given all the teams that have had to withdraw from the conference tournaments because of COVID, i'm not sure how the fuck they are going to pull off March Madness.

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

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

a ton of snow and now the deep freeze...

 i believe the wind chill today has been somewhere around 0 for most of the day. i haven't bothered to go outside yet. i figure when i take the trash out, i'll check for the mail. the people that mom pays to do our driveway and sidewalks must have been here before i woke up at 7:30 this morning. i'm sure they had fun judging by the piles of snow lining the driveway. and, wouldn't you know it, the next round of shit i think starts tomorrow night. oh joy.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

The Investigation was excellent last night.

i listened to episode 330 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the Devils. the Devils haven't played since the end of January, so i'm hoping the Rangers jump on them early and end their losing streak.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at Rhode Island. i'm hoping Dayton shows up tonight and actually competes. too many times this season they haven't, especially on the road.

i will be on here tomorrow after i get everything done. i have to go to the bank and deposit a check and get the grocery shopping done. and i would love to have that all done before the snow comes in the late afternoon. now, the problem is going to be every other motherfucker around here will be doing the same thing. so, i'm fully expecting a fucking zoo tomorrow. good times.

apparently, the next few days will be like hell...

i always love when the heat index hits somewhere around 100 and the humidity is slightly more crispy than fucking hell. that is basically the next few days here. can't wait to do the grocery shopping in this shit tomorrow.

the New York Yankees did get rained out last night, so they will play a doubleheader today against Tampa. i would love to see the Yankees win both games.

NXT was really good last night.

Big Brother was good last night. hopefully the casual viewer is now up to speed with all the assholes in the house this season. i do hope the blindside happens tonight and Cliff is the one voted out. that should be a big shit storm if that happens.

Snowfall was fucking brilliant last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Baskets, Holey Moley, Big Brother and Desus & Mero.

i wrote 5 poems last night. i typed them up around 2 in the morning. i really think they are good. i'd love to write some more and then get another batch of submissions ready before the end of the month.

i might have got almost 3 solid hours of sleep last night. i had a hard time finding a comfortable spot for my right arm for most of the time. i always know when i see pillows on the floor that all i did was toss and turn for most of the night. good times.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after the trip to the grocery store. i'm hoping to get that done early in the morning, you know, sometime before it hits 100 degrees outside.

it currently feels like 92 here. in a few hours we start our excessive heat warning. that will last until Saturday night. joy.

that's all for me kids. until tomorrow...

a howling wind and how women fall in love with me in two days...

today has been one of those days where the cynical bastard inside of me is laughing his head off. i've had 3 different women tell me they are in love with me today. mind you, none of these women have ever talked to me or even met me in person yet. i have told all 3 of them, there is no need to set yourself up for disappointment. i suppose, time will tell.

the wind has been howling since last night. it was so bad last night, i put the trash back inside the garage. thankfully, i got up early enough this morning that i got it back down to the curb in time to be picked up. we only got a dusting of snow, so that's good. but the windchill is probably in the teens or worse. good times.

the New York Rangers lost last night at Winnipeg, 4-3.

Smackdown was very good last night.

205 Live was pretty good last night as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Masked Singer, You're The Worst, Drop the Mic and the season finale of Celebrity Big Brother. i'll watch NXT and NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

before the next snowstorm hits...

well, exactly what i feared was going to happen last night happened. team USA was clearly looking past Slovakia last night at the World Juniors. Slovakia made them pay for that, beating the USA 3-2. this makes the outdoor game today between the USA and Canada very interesting. if Canada wins, they will win the group and be in the best spot to get back to the gold medal game. no matter what happens, the USA will make it past the group stage. the problem is a loss today means they will finish 3rd in the group and be truly up shit's creek without a paddle. joy.

i wrote 4 poems last night/this morning. i haven't typed them up yet since i think there might be some more coming. my apologies to all the editors that are going to get email from me in early 2018. i'm sitting on a goldmine i believe.

i did go out to the bank this morning to make a deposit. there was just a little snow in the air. i believe by this afternoon it's really going to get interesting.

enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW.

Ohio State takes on USC tonight in the Cotton Bowl. this will be the last game for many players at Ohio Sate, so i'm hoping they go out with a victory.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Detroit. hopefully i will have a drink in both hands by the end of tonight.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow before Manchester United plays. if not, it will be before Dayton plays at Duquesne in the afternoon.

i hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. i do hope everyone gets to enjoy the last weekend of 2017.
