Happy St. Patrick's Day
i hope everyone is having a great St. Patrick's Day. today has been completely fucking draining for me, and i love it. so, you can imagine what happened this morning.
Manchester United defeated Liverpool, 4-3 in extra time to advance to the semifinals of the FA Cup. they will play Coventry in the semis. the other semifinal will be Manchester City against Chelsea. this game was completely fucking nuts. United went up 1-0 but was losing 2-1 at halftime. they scored in the 87th minute to make it 2-2. Rashford had incredible miss that would have won the game in regulation. Liverpool scored in the first half of extra time to go up 3-2. Rashford scored in the 112th minute to tie it at 3. then, Amad Diallo scored at the death to make it 4-3. this is the United team i have been dying to see all season. they played with heart, passion, determination, everything they have lacked all damn season. an instant fucking classic.

it rained all damn night... Happy St. Patrick's Day
i slept like shit last night. long gone are the days of the rain actually helping me to sleep. fuck. oh well, i hope everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day...
the New York Rangers won last night at home against Pittsburgh, 4-2.

the kind of day i'd like to drink myself to death...
now, i'll get to the good news after i climb down from the cross.
so, i made it to the doctor's office on time. my blood pressure was good. my weight was down. and for some fucking reason, my A1C was up. again. they believe it could be stress related. i can't imagine what fucking stress i have in my life. so, now i get to start trulicity. joy. well, i guess i should have known if i was going to live to 46, i would be injecting myself with something by now. of course, i didn't get to see the person i was supposed to see today. so, i didn't get to talk about my arthritis that is getting worse or the pinched nerve in my neck. as i told my mother, i have rode the waves of pain for so fucking long now, i might as well be a damn professional. so, on the way home from the doctor's office, i nearly got hit twice by drivers not paying fucking attention. i swear, one of these days, i'm just going to swerve right into the fuckers and see what happens next. i stopped at Big Lots on the way home. i got some basketball and football cards. $50 worth of packs. there was close to $100 worth of cards in them. that works for me.
the Dayton Flyers won last night in Toledo, 74-55. that was their first win in the NIT since 2010. they will play Vanderbilt in Nashville on Sunday afternoon in the next round.

not exactly the day i want to be sick on...
i did have to go out today and get some shit. i needed some Sudafed and of course the pharmacy at Kroger was all out of the strong shit. figures. i got most of everything mom had on the grocery list. and i kept it under $100.
i did send out 11 poems today; 6 to Record Magazine and 5 to Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from those places i will pass along the verdicts.
i guess i should say thank you to Tom Brady for breaking the internet this morning.
the New Orleans Saints did get Drew Brees signed today. hopefully in these next 2 years a Super Bowl win will be coming to Bourbon Street.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.
The Voice last night was good.
The Plot Against America was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight.
i did record Black Panther last night, so i might end up watching that tonight.
i need to get the trash picked up, so that's all for me kids.
i'm draining snot like there's no tomorrow, so i'm coughing like i started smoking 2 cartons a day again.
good times.
i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
have a good one. stay healthy.

snowing on St. Patrick's Day...
and from the back window...
at least the snow isn't really sticking at the moment.
Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone.
i suppose it was a good thing i wasn't able to watch Manchester United yesterday. they lost to Wolves, 2-1, knocking them out of the FA Cup. now, only the pipe dream of winning the Champions League exists for the team, which means they need to really concentrate everything on finishing in the top 4 of the Premier League. joy.
the New York Rangers lost at Minnesota last night, 5-2. they got 1 point out of a possible 8 on the road trip. lose for Hughes boys. hopefully the NHL will be smart enough to "fix" the lottery and have the Rangers win it.
ROH was really good last night.
i did watch a ton of college basketball yesterday. i'll probably watch some today, seeing that it is Selection Sunday. i figure the Dayton Flyers will be in the NIT, not that it really fucking matters.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Case Against Adnan Syed, the season finale of High Maintenance, Last Week Tonight, Total Bellas, Billions, Black Monday and SMILF.
the New York Yankees beat Toronto yesterday 17-7. hopefully there will be more of that in the regular season. they are playing split squad games today against the Orioles and Phillies.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after mom's last physical therapy session.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully, your Sunday will be even better.
Don't Drink and Drive and only fuck the ones that cough.

and so it begins...
i wrote 10 poems last night. i haven't typed them up yet. the plan was to wake up early this morning and get that done. obviously, that didn't happen. so, i'm guessing i will get that done sometime tonight after i get done watching wrestling.
Vice News Tonight had a couple interesting shows this week.
The Big Bang Theory was pretty funny last night.
Young Sheldon was very funny last night.
Gotham was fucking great last night. i hope the final season is truly amazing.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Colorado. hopefully, the taste of that loss to the Penguins is out of their mouth.
team USA takes on Russia today at the World Juniors. the winner goes to the gold medal game.
hopefully i will be back from the grocery store by the time that game starts.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Reading in the FA Cup.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. pray that one day i will find a woman who doesn't need to believe i have money to give them freely.

Happy St. Patrick's Day
we had a nice little ice storm last night. i suppose it was somewhat appropriate considering what happened last night in the NCAA tournament.
when i saw the score midway through the second half and saw that UMBC was defeating Virginia by double digits, i thought it was a mistake. i then turned to the game and holy shit. i think i watched the last 12 minutes of the game. i even had my mother turn it on in her room to watch. what i never thought i would see in my lifetime was finally happening. a 16 seed was going to beat a 1 seed. and not just any number 1 seed, but the overall number 1 seed in the entire tournament. when that final buzzer hit, i still couldn't believe it. but i am very happy to be a witness to it. this changes college basketball forever.
i went 10-6 yesterday in the tournament. i believe i was 23-9 in the first round, which is about my average anymore. i still have 12 of my sweet 16 available. usually, if i can get at least 10 of the 16 right, i'm pretty happy. anything less than that and i might as well just shred the fucking thing right there.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
NJPW was excellent last night.
High Maintenance was fucking hilarious last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was great last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live and ROH.
the New York Rangers play tonight in St. Louis. i'm not counting on the Rangers to keep their winning steak going, but with the way they are playing lately, anything is fucking possible.
most of my day today will be watching some college basketball and doing my laundry. and hopefully watching Manchester United advance in the FA Cup.
i hope everyone has a great St. Patrick's Day. don't drink and drive, unless you're really good at it. and trust me, if you drink enough, everyone is beautiful.

these Irish eyes have seen so much over the years...
thankfully, the ice storm had already passed by this morning by the time i had to take mom to the outpatient center. we were there forever it felt like. it was only 4 hours or so in the end. i think mom is slowly coming to terms with having this operation on her hip. hopefully she's fully there by the time the surgery rolls around in early April.
i heard the news a couple days ago but today it finally hit me about the death of my friend Kerry Shank. so many memories of drinking and having too much fun came flooding back to me. that's probably another reason why i'm not drinking right now, i doubt i would stop.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
Baskets was hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be VICE, NJPW and Real Time with Bill Maher.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Florida. i wouldn't mind if they happened to win tonight.
Manchester United will be playing against Anderlecht in the next round of the Europa League. that's good news as Belgium is much easier travel for them than having to go to some of the other countries still involved.
most of my attention tonight will be on the Dayton Flyers game against Wichita State. Dayton is the better seed but an underdog. hopefully they use that to fuel them tonight. plus, they have plenty of big game experience on their side as well. if they can somehow pull off the win tonight, i'll be happier than a pig in shit.
i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i believe my sister is coming down and i also need to go to the grocery store. so, let's just say i'll try to get a blog done before the day is completely over.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. i hope the green beer didn't make you sick or fuck something you'd regret.

sometimes you just get used to the pain...
i did listen to the latest Jim Norton & Sam Roberts Podcast this morning. you can laugh your ass off by going here: https://soundcloud.com/jimandsamshow/ep-016-remy-ma-diss-track
i really enjoyed some of the performances on The Voice last night.
Monday Night Raw was pretty damn good last night. i liked the job they did setting up Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens at WrestleMania. i also enjoyed Austin Aries getting the better of Neville. and i really enjoyed the show ending with The Undertaker giving Roman Reigns a chokeslam.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, WWE Smackdown and The Voice. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
the New York Rangers won last night in OT 1-0 over Tampa Bay. it's amazing how much better they play on the road. they play again tonight at Florida. let's see if they can make it two wins in a row.
mom sold her tickets to the First Four today. she got the email this afternoon that said to print out the shipping label and go to the UPS store. of course, the shipping label that printed out said FedEx on it. so, after a little running around, the tickets are in the mail. hopefully by tomorrow night she'll know they arrived in Washington, D.C.
the rain finally ended here. now the wind is kicking up. of course it is, it's the night we set the trash out. they are saying we might have a huge winter storm this weekend. that should make the grocery store a ton of fun in the next couple of days.
i did a little poetry work earlier this afternoon. i'll probably be sending out 15 poems in the next day or so.
the trash is all picked up so i'm all done folks.

bring on the weekend...
the Dayton Flyers were without Charles Cooke again last night. so when Rhode Island got out to an early 10 point lead, it was what i expected. thankfully, Dayton decided they weren't about to get punk'd at home. they battled and battled and eventually took the lead for good in the second half. Dayton made just enough free throws down the stretch to win the game 67-64. i loved the victory mostly because i can't fucking stand Rhode Island's coach, such a whiny piece of shit. Dayton is now 3-0 in conference play. hopefully they can keep it going. they next play at UMass on Wednesday.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of reporting.
i got up early this morning to watch Manchester United take on Reading in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. United got off to a great start, with Wayne Rooney scoring his 249th goal for the club. he draws level with Sir Bobby Charlton's record. Anthony Martial scored a few minutes later. Marcus Rashford scored two in the second half for a 4-0 victory.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, MTV Live Setlist: St. Paul & The Broken Bones and ROH.
the New York Rangers play tonight at Columbus. i'd love to see the Rangers win this important divisional game.
i'll spend most of the day watching some college basketball and the NFL playoffs as well.
i guess i should venture out into the cold and get the morning paper.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

and here comes a winter storm
today has been laundry day. i figured i better wear clean clothes to the basketball game tomorrow.
i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. his interview with Hillbilly Jim was excellent. you can find the podcast by going here:

Life in Pieces was hilarious last night.
the New York Rangers got two power play goals last night to defeat Winnipeg 2-1. that's the first game they have won all season when scoring less than 3 goals. they play again tonight in Chicago.

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, 2 episodes of NJPW, Vice Special Report: A House Divided and Madonna: Rebel Heart Tour.
i will most likely be on here tomorrow before the basketball game. that means it will be an early morning blog. i'm hoping to do some writing tonight, so i should have something to talk about.
i woke myself up this morning with a fart. a fart that happened to sound like a fucking shotgun going off. it felt like i blew out the back of my shorts. thank god i don't sleep nude anymore. i've ruined enough sheets in my life.
i only have 1 gift left to come to the house. thankfully, this one should fit in the mailbox, so i won't have to check constantly. i hate that these fucks out here just bring a package to the door and set it down and leave. and they wonder why there are thieves in the world.
my last load of laundry is just about done in the dryer, so that's all for me kids.
i hope everyone has a lovely weekend. call if you need bail money.

welcome to the afterworld
the grocery store went pretty good yesterday. i was somewhat stunned when this woman started talking to me. of course, it was over food for type 2 diabetics... i didn't really get a good vibe from her after our little conversation. that was affirmed to me when she saw me later in the store and looked away quickly. i caught a break on getting out of the grocery store though. instead of waiting in one of the 3 long ass lines, i just happened to get up there as one was opening up. that meant i got home in time for the hockey game.
the Rangers and Oilers played a back and forth game last night. thankfully, the Rangers got a lead late in the 3rd and held on to win 5-3. that's the good thing about offense sometimes, it can always bail you out.
The Big Bang Theory was hilarious last night.
Life in Pieces was hilarious as well last night.
Better Things was great last night. i can't wait to see the season finale next week.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NJPW, Real Time with Bill Maher and One and Done: Ben Simmons.
i will be at the University of Dayton tonight watching the Dayton Flyers play their exhibition game against Findlay. for the first time ever, Dayton has sold out an exhibition game, so it should be crazy. there are a ton of expectations this season. hopefully the seniors can lead them to another great season.
i need to get ready to take mom to her doctor's appointment. i'm hoping this gets the ball rolling for her to get some treatment to actually get her back working like it should again.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. take it easy and then take it again.
