Happy St. Patrick's Day...

 Happy St. Patrick's Day...

Manchester United won yesterday at Leicester, 3-0. other than another fucking injury to another defender, it was a good victory.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Edmonton, 3-1.

The Americas was very good last night.

The White Lotus was fucking great last night.

The Righteous Gemstones was great last night.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan was very good last night.

Yellowjackets was fucking crazy last night.

i did fill out some brackets for the NCAA tournament last night.  i have Florida winning for the men and UCLA winning for the women. the Dayton Flyers will be playing in the NIT yet again.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw on Netflix this afternoon as it will come on at 3 PM. i love that Netflix will be airing the episodes from Europe live in the USA.

the weather took a turn to the cold last night. that might be why i slept a little better. i woke up this morning and mom was in her massage chair sleeping. by the time i got done with breakfast, she was back in her bed. i think the health problems she has been having here recently have really gotten to her. the projectile vomiting yesterday had some end of life shit attached to it. good times.

the First Four games start tomorrow at UD Arena. if i had those tickets still, i would make a killing selling them with North Carolina, Xavier and Texas coming.

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

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

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.

the New York Rangers have had a great weekend, minus another damn injury. they won yesterday at Pittsburgh, 7-4. and then today, the defeated the Islanders at home, 5-2.

AEW Collision was good 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 The Regime, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Last Week Tonight.

i will be watching the NCAA selection show tonight to see if the Dayton Flyers actually made it in for the first time in years. i did see Duquesne win the A10 tournament earlier today, defeating VCU. Duquesne will be in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1977.

i will be on here in the afternoon tomorrow, probably after the Orkin guy leaves. he believes there is a squirrel in our attic. 

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

i'm hoping it will warm up this weekend, but i doubt it. i guess i'll just be inside watching basketball all weekend.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i need to go to Rite Aid at some point to pick up a prescription. 

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

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.

i did watch Wright State win over Bryant last night, 93-82. that was their first win ever in the tournament. in the second game Notre Dame defeated Rutgers 89-87 in 2OT.

as for today, there have been a few upsets already. 

AEW last night was excellent.

The Masked Singer was crazy last night.

Snowfall was fucking great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NJPW and Dicktown. i did watch NXT UK this afternoon on Peacock. it was really good.

i'm sure i will watch plenty of college basketball tonight.

the New York Rangers play at home tonight against the Islanders. i really hope the Rangers get a win tonight.

i have to take mom to physical therapy tomorrow afternoon. i know at some point, i will have to swing by Rite Aid to pick up some pills and some shots. so, i should be on here, well fuck, if i get a wild hair up my ass tomorrow morning, i'll try to get the blog done then. if not, tomorrow afternoon, most likely in the rain. good times.

enjoy the drinks and green whatever. be safe and avoid a trip to jail.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck Putin.

fuck the police.

not exactly the day i want to be sick on...

but given that the second coming of the plague has most everything closed and people stuck inside...

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.

snowing on St. Patrick's Day...

this is what it looks like out of the back door of the house right now...

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.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

i totally got the time wrong for when Manchester United was playing today, so the blog will come before the game.

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.

happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone. i would be drinking right now, but my days of a being a lush are either behind me or still to return.

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.

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

just enough drizzle to make it miserable

i got in bed to watch tv last night and my neck started killing me. it wasn't the pinched nerve, it was more or less i strained the neck somehow. i figure i took a nap in the chair and must have moved my neck to the side or something. who the fuck knows, it certainly hasn't got any better. add in the drizzle we've got off and on for all of today, and i am basically fucking miserable. good times.

mom will be proud, i did go over to my uncle's and get his trash down to the curb. i also have guilted him into recycling. of course, they just throw anything they think is recyclable into a trash bag. i'm the lucky one that has to go through it. the joys of saving the earth. now i have to pick up all the trash in this house. my luck, when i take it down to the curb it will be all thunder and lightning.

i did come back to win one of the fantasy football matchups i was trailing in last night. i made the one where i was losing by 61 somewhat respectable and only lost by 30. the other one i held on by the skin of my teeth to win by less than 2 points. i went 11-5 in my picks. that's much better than last week.

the New York Yankees inept fucking offense showed up last night and lost to Boston 5-1. the magic number is still at 3. they play again tonight, i'm hoping to avoid it as much as possible.

i did watch a good portion of the New York Rangers game last night vs. Philadelphia. i certainly liked that the Rangers came back from being down 2 goals to win in OT. i didn't like the fact that they still can't fucking score on the power play. oh well, they play again tomorrow against Boston. here's the game winner from last night:

Monday Night Raw was so so last night. there certainly were parts that i liked and other parts where i gladly flipped to football or The Voice.

The Voice was excellent last night. i really enjoyed a few of the singers in this episode. plus, the last performance certainly turned into a memorable one:

Gotham was amazing last night. i love the actor doing the young Joker character. this season is going to be awesome.

The Big Bang Theory was really good. Life in Pieces had me close to tears in a few moments. that is one funny ass show. i also watched the Men in Blazers last night, mostly for shits and giggles.

time for some music kids:

now some of this and that:

i spent a good portion of the afternoon finding some great FREE music on NoiseTrade. i will put those links down in the music section.

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, The Muppets, Scream Queens and Total Divas.

i will probably be back on here tomorrow morning seeing that Manchester United plays in the afternoon and i will have to pick up mom at the car rental place sometime during the late afternoon/early evening. good times.

that's all for me. i have toilets to clean and trash to pick up. the drizzle has now turned to rain and my body is calling for a tall glass of vodka.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
