 nothing like getting to bed by 4 AM and up at 7 AM. fuck me.

Happy Valentine's Day...

 this day is somewhat hard for me, mostly because i don't think i have ever been in a relationship on Valentine's Day. 49 fucking years on this planet. let that sink in. but, i also don't want to be the asshole today and just shit all over those in relationships that have special plans or dinners, etc. such a delicate line to walk on. so yeah. a mix of depression and what can i distract myself with. joy.

one of those days...

 so, i did hear from the muse this morning before i went grocery shopping. i guess her phone was fucked up and just got it back. at least i hadn't got to the point where i was checking hospitals and the obituaries. that took a load off of my mind. grocery shopping went well today. i kept it under $200, which is becoming harder and harder to do honestly.

much warmer today...

 i slept a little longer than normal this morning. i got somewhere near 6 hours of sleep, which is like a coma for me anymore. the Spanish princess and i texted each other last night. i think we have a better understanding of what we have and what we both want. it is like i can feel the relationship i have always wanted right at my fingertips, but still can't touch it yet. 

gambling went well yesterday, right up to the point where Gonzaga shit the bed and lost in OT. that punch to the dick destroyed a parlay i had going that would have turned $3 into $70. oh well. hopefully i will do better today.

 i got up this morning a little after 7. i could feel the rain coming right as i sat up. joy.

so, mom's physical therapy yesterday went well. i wrote 3 poems while i was in the waiting room. i typed those up when i got home. they will be part of the 8 poems i'll be sending out on Monday.

the Yankees lost last night to Tampa Bay, 9-0. what is the point to calling up a top prospect and not play him? makes no fucking sense. the lead in the division is down to 5 games. the Rays are just 4 games behind the Yankees in the loss column. this is starting to feel like one of the greatest choke jobs in history.

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

AEW Rampage was excellent last night.

i did watch the last few minutes of Old Dominion and Virginia Tech last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight.

i am looking forward to watching WWE Clash at the Castle today. it's the WWE's first big European event in 30 years.

tonight, Ohio State starts its season at home against Notre Dame. hopefully, Ohio State wins.

the USWNT plays Nigeria today in a friendly.

i'm sure i will watch plenty of college football and soccer today.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

so, i was standing in Big Lots...

 when i got the alert on my phone that Sean Payton was retiring as coach of the New Orleans Saints. this immediately put the doomsday scenario i have had in my head for years into play. he steps away from the Saints and after a year or so, gets that itch to coach and then he's the coach of the Dallas Cowboys. now, thankfully, the Saints will have his rights for three more years, so if that scenario happens, i hope the Saints rip the Cowboys off for a few first round picks and plenty of money. now, if that scenario doesn't happen and he goes into TV or some other role, i will always be happy for the job he did as Saints coach. to get that team a Super Bowl title is so beyond fucking words, let alone to help the city come back from all those fucking hurricanes... some days the news hits you like a punch to the dick. thanks for 16 years coach.

i went to Big Lots to see if i could find any baseball cards. i had the birthday coupon with me. of course, they had none. so, i found some shot glasses i liked and some Jim Beam dark roast coffee. i figure i'm well on my way to being a full fledged alcoholic, why not.

i had to go to Rite Aid today to find the stuff i couldn't find yesterday. and then i went to the local grocery store and got what i would normally get on Wednesday. since i have to take the Highlander in tomorrow, i figured i would get some of the grocery shopping done today. i did get some baseball cards at Rite Aid. there was close to $20 worth of cards in the $5 box.

the New York Rangers defeated the Kings last night, 3-2, in a shootout. the shot Adam Fox made in the shootout is why he should be a Norris Trophy candidate for the next decade for sure.

both episodes of Kenan were pretty funny last night.

That's My Jam was hilarious last night.

Monday Night Raw was good last night. i can't wait for the Royal Rumble this Saturday.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT.

the Dayton Flyers play at home tonight against Fordham. my back is still killing me, so i'll be watching the game on ESPN+. Dayton is a 13.5 point favorite tonight. i feel like Dayton will win but i would be pleasantly shocked if they win by that much.

i need to pick up the trash here and figure out what the fuck i'm making for dinner. so, that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

the New York Rangers won last night, 4-0, over Columbus. they start another road trip Sunday in Seattle.

Manchester United plays at Tottenham today. i would love to see United win today, but i'm not counting on it.

Ohio State plays tonight at home against Penn State. hopefully, the boys whip another team tonight.

i'm sure i will watch plenty of college football today.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning, or at the very least, before the New Orleans Saints play in the afternoon.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

 i wanted to get the grocery shopping done before the England game this afternoon. i did have it done, but not soon enough to get the blog done before the game. so, this will be a shorter one than usual, which i imagine most of you don't mind.

the Yankees won last night out in Seattle, 12-1. hopefully this road trip wakes them the fuck up and they go on a long winning streak. either that or just start fucking losing and blow it all up.

here are your highlights from Game 1 of the NBA Finals last night:

at the Copa America last night, Argentina defeated Colombia on penalty kicks, 1-1 (3-2). that sets up Colombia vs. Peru in the 3rd place game and Argentina vs. Brazil for the championship.

at the Euro 2020 yesterday, Italy defeated Spain on penalty kicks, 1-1 (4-2). today, England and Denmark are scoreless in the 24th minute as i type this.

NXT was great last night.

Deadliest Catch was excellent last night.

Mr. Inbetween was amazing last night. the series finale is next week.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW and Big Brother.

holy shit, Denmark is up on England, 1-0.

i'll probably watch some of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final tonight.

the grocery stores were a bit crazy today. honestly, i think some people were just in there for the air conditioning. a big thank you to Kennedy at Kroger for opening up her lane for me. i must have had that i want the fuck out of here now look on my face.

i will be on here tomorrow between loads of laundry. 

now, Denmark and England are tied at 1.

if it is hotter than shit where you are, check on your elderly neighbors and see if they are still alive.

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...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

well, that was boring...

 i almost wish i would have just chose to sleep this afternoon than watch Manchester United play. 0-0 games are the absolute worse. hell, i know United advances because of what they did in the first leg (4-0) but i really would of loved to see them hammer Real Sociedad today and drive the point home that they really want to win the Europa League. oh well.

so, let me get on my soapbox now. the Dayton Flyers lost at Saint Joe's last night, 97-84. after the game, Dayton's coach took the blame for the loss. i am so fucking sick and tired of Dayton playing down to its competition. why the fuck is their focus every game how they are going to match up against the opponent and not how is the opponent going to match up with them? it blows my fucking mind that they let a team like that last night take over 40 fucking three's and lose a game they needed to win. and watch, they'll come out and probably beat Saint Bonaventure on Monday, which would make no fucking sense as well. Dayton has lost to the worst 3 teams in the A-10 this season. god, i can't wait for some new players to come in. they will either be great or expose the fraud that Anthony Grant truly is as a coach.

the New York Rangers lost at Philadelphia last night, 4-3. i think the team is really going to struggle with Panarin out.

the USWNT destroyed Argentina last night, 6-0, to win the SHEBELIEVES Cup. 

NXT was really good last night.

AEW was really good last night as well.

both episodes of Name That Tune were pretty good last night. i was amazed at some of the songs people didn't know.

both episodes of Snowfall last night were fucking great.

mom had two different nurses out here today. they set up this computer for her so she can take her blood pressure, oxygen levels, weight, etc. and it goes right on the computer. of course, mom and technology is like oil and water, so this is bound to fuck up at some point. i have to take her to an appointment tomorrow morning at 10 AM. so much for my beauty sleep. 

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

i placed a pretty big order of supplies today on Amazon.com. i really need some better storage for the baseball cards. hopefully those will arrive in the first week of March.

that's all for me kids.
