laundry day

 since Ohio State is off this week, i figured today would be a good day to get my laundry done. of course, there is plenty of other shit i would like to be doing, but laundry seems to be a necessary evil when you have to actually go out into the world. oh well. i'll start that after i get home from Rite Aid. i need to pick up a prescription.

the Yankees lost yesterday to Cleveland, 4-2 in 10 innings. the series is now 1-1 and goes to Cleveland for a game tonight. if the Yankees don't win tonight, i have a pretty good feeling they will lose this series.

here are your highlights from the MLB playoffs yesterday:

the New York Rangers lost last night in Winnipeg, 4-1. this was a game of running into a hot goalie and him outplaying your backup. plus, the Rangers were on their 3rd game in 4 nights and this was the Jets first game of the season. shit happens.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.

AEW Rampage was excellent last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was fucking hilarious last night.

Los Espookys was really funny last night. the season finale is next week.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live.

i'm sure i will watch plenty of college football today on top of the MLB playoffs. the MLS playoffs start today as well.

i got my order from Repacked Wax today. so, that will take up whatever spare time i have today between sports and my laundry.

i am going to try to be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the morning.

if not then, who knows. 

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

a big thank you to everyone who has checked out my latest published poems:

and a very special thank you to Mariama Cuyler for her amazingly kind words this morning.

until tomorrow kids...

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

a day to forget...

 so, in hindsight, i am happy that i got the blog done yesterday before Manchester United played. if i would have done the blog after the match against Liverpool, i would probably be in jail right now. United got humiliated at home by Liverpool, 5-0. i turned the game off after 3-0 as i was already in enough pain from the weather. i should feel surprised that the manager hasn't been fired yet, but i'm not. the owners of Manchester United are imbeciles and have no interest in actually winning. they want to own the club to make money and that's it. now, the British media is having fun announcing all the potential candidates for the job; Antonio Conte, Zinedine Zidane, etc. i would take either compared to Ole at the moment. 

to be honest, i have been stuck in first gear since that game. i'm hoping the games tonight (Saints and Rangers) snap me out of it.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

Axios was good last night.

Succession was great last night.

Insecure was excellent last night.

Curb Your Enthusiasm was fucking hilarious last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

BMF was good last night.

Hightown was really good last night.

American Rust was fucking amazing last night. just two episodes remain.

Desus & Mero was very fucking funny last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

the New Orleans Saints play at Seattle tonight on Monday night football. hopefully, the Saints will win.

the New York Rangers play at home tonight against Calgary. hopefully, they can keep on winning.

i did listen to episode 366 of Notsam Wrestling today. you can listen to that by going here:

i got my order of baseball cards from Etsy.com today. they were supposed to be all before 1979 and thankfully, they were. the cards were from 1960 to 1976. all were decent and i am very happy with the purchase. here is a link to the place i got the cards from:

https://www.etsy.com/shop/BrothersCardsCom

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i should be on here tomorrow in the afternoon. maybe sooner, who knows.

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.

a rainy day...

 it has been rainy all day long. joy.

well, i might as well start off with the only good thing from yesterday. Manchester United won at West Ham, 2-1. the officiating was awful and tried their fucking hardest to make sure West Ham got something out of the game. CR7 scored and should have had two penalties called when he was fouled in the box, but of course, the Luke Shaw handball at the death of the game was called for West Ham. David De Gea finally made a save on a penalty. and hats off to Jesse Lingard on his game winner after what happened in the Champions League earlier in the week.

the New Orleans Saints were awful yesterday. they couldn't get anything going on offense. and the defense couldn't stop a cold yesterday. the Saints lost to Carolina, 26-7.

the Yankees lost yesterday to Cleveland, 11-1. i guess the Yankees really don't want to make the playoffs. hopefully, when they are eliminated from that chance, Boone gets fired and Cashman realizes he's been the general manager for too long now and he gives up the job for someone else. they start a series tonight at home against Texas. i won't be watching.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan was really good last night. the season finale is next week.

Heels was excellent last night.

Billions was great last night.

American Rust was really good last night.

Scenes From A Marriage was amazing last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Monday Night Raw.

i might watch some of the game tonight between the Packers and Lions.

i did listen to episode 361 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:

mom got the call today about her cancer. it is basal cell carcinoma. she has a consult with the surgeon in November. she could have got an earlier appointment but she doesn't get up at 8:30 for anyone anymore. 

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. i know it is probably going to be raining tomorrow as well. 

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

and finally, rain...

 so, i got mom to the place this afternoon to get her blood drawn. i had to show her how to get the appointment online and everything, but now at least she has the app on her phone. after we got done there, we went to Perkins for lunch. i had a 20% off coupon. as we were leaving there, we could see the rain clouds rolling in. we got back home and of course, it hadn't rained here. 20 minutes later, we had a thunderstorm warning and showers pouring down. hopefully, this will break the fucking heatwave.

everything went well with mom's appointment with her heart doctor yesterday. her heart is much better than when she had congestive heart failure. of course, this meant they had to change up her meds again. joy.

as for the grocery shopping yesterday, it felt like it took forever. and since i was shopping later, they didn't have everything that was on the list. but, i eventually got everything for the most part. i did get a box of Fairfield baseball cards when i was at Rite Aid. $5 box that had about $15 worth of cards in it. that works for me.

AEW was really good last night.

Big Brother was good last night. sadly, it looks like Derek X is going to be evicted tonight.

American Horror Story: Double Feature was fucking great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Big Brother. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on Peacock.

the Yankees play tonight out in Oakland. hopefully, the Yankees can keep on winning.

i am going to try to be on here tomorrow morning before i have to take mom to another doctor's appointment. if the weather is nice, i think she wants to go shopping afterwards.

my arthritis is screaming for an ice pack and my massage chair, so that's all for me kids.

a productive day until...

 so, last night i got all my Christmas cards done. they got mailed out today. so, if you are one of the lucky ones, you should have something in your mailbox soon. i made a deposit at the bank today and had all the shopping done by 2 this afternoon.

i found some baseball cards at Rite-Aid today. it was the first time i had ever seen the 2020 Topps Update pack there. i got that and another box from Fairfield. the best card in the Fairfield box was a 1989 Donruss Craig Biggio rookie card. as for the Topps pack, there were a few rookies in there that are worth more than what i paid for the pack. so, i was pretty pleased with it.

the Dayton Flyers got off to hot starts in the first and second half against Eastern Illinois last night. sadly, when they went to their bench, all that momentum went away. thankfully, Dayton did win the game, 66-63. they will have to play much better to win this Saturday against SMU.

most of who i wanted to advance last night on The Voice did. sadly, once again, whenever America votes for the instant save, they usually get it wrong. and once again last night, they did. Payge absolutely should have moved on instead of Bailey Rae, but, the country mafia always gets its way.

so, i watched most of the Manchester United game today against PSG. i'm still shaking my head wondering how United fucked this up. they had tons of chances but were never clinical enough like you need to be in the Champions League. and why the fuck wasn't Fred, who already had a yellow card, not taken off at halftime? of course, you know he got his second yellow in the second half. United lost 3-1 and will now have to win their last game in the group stage to advance into the knockout rounds. fuck me.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NXT, AEW and The Masked Singer.

i did watch a little of the Steelers vs. Ravens this afternoon. the Steelers won 19-14. 

i should be on here in the afternoon tomorrow. i don't think i have anything planned. i know it's going to get hectic soon as my mother has all these damn doctor's appointments coming up. joy.

i need to get going and figure out what the fuck is for dinner.

 to be honest, college football hasn't been the same for me with Ohio State not playing. thankfully, that all changes today as they take on Nebraska.

of course, at the same time today, Manchester United will be taking on Chelsea. i'd love to see United play great today and get another victory.

Big Brother was a look back on the season last night. only two more episodes left for the season.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

one of those days where it all went wrong when you got out of bed...

first off, a little poetry news to pass along. i sent out 14 poems today; 3 to Terror House Magazine, 5 to The Ramingo's Porch and 6 poems to Record Magazine. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

i thought i got some pretty decent sleep last night, but of course i didn't. the 15 minute nap i got in my massage chair while i was icing my back this afternoon was better i suppose. the heat finally broke last night when he had some storms roll through. that screwed up the DVR a little, but thankfully not too much.

the season finale of VICE was excellent last night.

Penny Dreadful: City of Angels was very good last night. the finale is next week.

The Chi was amazing last night. i didn't think they would start the new season off with a holy shit ending.

Hightown was really good last night.

Perry Mason was very good last night. i love that it seems to be a much more gritty version than ever seen on television.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

today has been pretty nice. cool, but warm enough to open up the house a bit and enjoy a light breeze. of course, later in the week there's a chance for snow. fuck me.

both episodes of The Last Dance last night were excellent.

the season finale of Westworld was fucking amazing last night.

the series finale of Atlanta's Missing and Murdered:The Lost Children was rather heartbreaking. it also reinforces my belief that the justice system in this country is built on wins and losses, not innocence or guilt. and i also agree if they would have indicted someone from the KKK for the murders, all hell would have broke loose, especially in 1981.

Insecure was really good last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

Billions was excellent last night.

amazingly, it didn't rain today...

i say that because there is some rain on the way, at least that's what these old bones of mine are saying.

i had to drive mom to her bank today to deposit some checks. thankfully, they built a little satellite office one town over. so, now i won't have to drive her all the way out to the next damn county. after that, i had to drive her to her accountant so she could give him her tax info. she always likes getting them done as soon as possible. of course, she's been up the last 2 days going nuts over all the paperwork. joy.

after that, mom wanted to try the new Hardee's in town. i probably haven't ate at a Hardee's in over 20 years. we waited in the drive thru for over 20 minutes, mostly because the woman 2 cars in front of me must have ordered the whole damn menu. i swear she got 3 bags of food and 2 damn boxes. fuck me. all we got was two burgers and some onion rings. it was good, a little pricey, but good. at least there's another option in this town.

today was supposed to be opening day in MLB. i have no damn clue when sports will exist again in this country.

The Masked Singer was pretty good last night.

NXT was good last night.

AEW was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be 2 episodes of Indebted, Better Things and Cake. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i was pleasantly surprised when i woke up this morning and realized there was 2 new Nine Inch Nails albums released and they were FREE. Ghosts V and V1 are both excellent. available at https://nin.com

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done. i'm hoping i can get all of it done at the local grocery store, but i'm not counting on that.

these gloomy days don't agree with me. now, the poet in me doesn't mind it, plenty of shit to write about there. but the rest of me, fuck, i need some sunshine, something bright to lift my spirits. i guess that's where the alcohol comes into play. probably the reason why i only drink after success. if i drank because of failure, i'd be dead.

Manchester United won today over Manchester City, 1-0. but, since they lost the first leg of this semifinal at Old Trafford 3-1, they end up losing 3-2 on aggregate. oh well, i'll take the positives from the game today. a clean sheet, a victory on the road and the club announced they have signed Bruno Fernandes.

while the rain is a good for a few things, it isn't good for my fucking arthritis. it's a dull pain that lingers like the smell of death. joy.

we have a lot to talk about in this blog today, so let's get on with it...

the New Orleans Saints lost yesterday to San Francisco, 48-46. if i wasn't a Saints fan, i would talk about an amazing game to watch. as a Saints fan, i'm fucking pissed about the defense not showing up and the refs once again having their heads up their fucking asses. the Saints are now down to the 3 seed in the playoffs. i would love for them to get back up to number 2 if possible. they are going to need a bye given the injuries on the team.

the Dayton Flyers beat a very good Saint Mary's team yesterday, 78-68. this will be one of those wins that will look very good when March comes around and it's tournament time.
https://www.blackburnreview.com/2019/12/09/another-notch-in-the-belt/

the New York Rangers got another stellar game from their backup goalie (38 saves) and defeated Las Vegas last night, 5-0. it was the perfect start to a west coast road trip.

Axios was good last night. the interview with Joe Biden reminded why i wouldn't vote for him.

Ray Donovan was really good last night.

Shameless was excellent last night.

Dublin Murders was a delicious mind fuck last night.

Watchmen was fucking amazing last night. i can't wait for the season finale next week.

the series finale of Silicon Valley was really good last night.

the series finale of Mrs. Fletcher was good last night. the most underrated part of this show was the music. so damn good for every scene.

Ohio State ended up as the number 2 seed in the college football playoffs. they will play Clemson out in Arizona on Dec. 28th.

all of the shit i ordered for Christmas has arrived. i guess i should get the fucking cards out now.

i'm hoping this fucking rain ends soon.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

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