now i know i am not a technology wizard...

 the fan noise that i was complaining about yesterday suddenly went away today when i put my thumb drive into the computer to send out some poems. i'm guessing i took something out too soon a couple of days ago and never put two and two together. so far, the noise hasn't come back, so that's a plus.

as for the poems, i sent 5 poems out to Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from Cristina on them, i will pass along the verdict.

here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

the New York Yankees won last night at Cleveland, 11-2. they won this afternoon to win the series, 4-3. they play tomorrow night at home against the Twins.

i am in an incredible run of bad luck when it comes to gambling. apparently, i must have made a deal with the devil for Jon Rahm to win The Masters, as i haven't won a single bet since that happened. the streak is at 30 fucking bets in a row now. the beauty of $1 bets is you can make plenty of them. but, it really fucking sucks when you lose, especially when you have 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 4 or 4 out of 5 on fucking parlay bet after parlay bet. if i was gambling like the big boys do, i would be hanging from the ceiling by now.

i did watch some of the NBA play in games last night.

NXT was good last night.

MLW was good last night.

Deadliest Catch was the preview to the season last night. it is hard to imagine that i have seen every episode in this series. season 19 starts next week.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, AEW All Access, The Masked Singer and Snowfall.

i'm sure i will probably watch some of the NBA games tonight. Chicago plays Toronto and Oklahoma City plays New Orleans.

i am going to try to get the blog done in the morning tomorrow. mom has an appointment with her accountant tomorrow afternoon to get her taxes done. after that, i am hoping to get back home to watch Manchester United in the Europa League.

a big thank you to Ancestry.com for reminding me today that i am related to the cousin that sexually molested me. it is a damn good thing i can find pleasure in all of this fucking pain. i shudder to think what would actually happen if i couldn't.

the weather here the last couple of days has been damn near perfect. and having lived here all my life, all that means is shit will change in a matter of hours.

grocery shopping went well today. the stores weren't crowded, so that was a major plus.

i need to go get going on dinner. until tomorrow kids.

what a win...

 i was up early this morning, to make sure i would be wide awake when the electrician got here. they got what they needed to get done before we had to leave for mom's appointment at the foot doctor. we got there a little early and everything went pretty smoothly. mom wanted some Wendy's after her appointment, so we went through the drive-thru and took the food home. we were done with lunch by the time Manchester United was taking on Barcelona.

when Barcelona went up 1-0 in the first half, i wasn't happy, but i wasn't afraid either. the one thing ETH has done for this club is once again instill the belief that borders on fucking arrogance that United will always come back. sure enough, Fred scored in the first two minutes of the second half. Antony scored with about 20 minutes to go and United won, 2-1. that means they will advance to the final 16 of the Europa League. they knocked out Barcelona, 4-3 on aggregate. now, they have a cup final on Sunday that could bring the first trophy to the club in 5 years. i can't fucking wait.

the USWNT won the SheBelieves Cup last night, defeating Brazil, 2-1.

AEW Dynamite was good last night.

the New York Rangers are playing tonight in Detroit. hopefully, the boys will find a way to win.

i'm not sure what i am making for dinner tonight. i know my audible to add some peppers to some pulled pork for sandwiches last night was a good call. mom seemed to really enjoy it. 

gambling went pretty well last night. i did nail one college basketball parlay. hopefully, tonight will be even better.

i will probably be on here in the afternoon tomorrow.

the weather is supposed to take another turn as i know there is the chance of snow flurries at some point. i mean, it was only 70 degrees today and i was out in shorts. so, of course it would fucking snow the very next day. it is Ohio after all.

the bathroom renovation is coming along nicely. i have to be up early as fuck tomorrow since the electrician will be here. that's another good sign that things are moving forward.

 it feels like i have been going since i woke up at 8:45 this morning. i took mom to her dental appointment that lasted for almost 2 1/2 hours. while in the waiting room, i wrote 6 poems and made 2 hockey bets. (more on the gambling later). after she was done, we went to Arby's for lunch. i watched a little of the Champions League and then typed up the 6 poems i wrote. i think they are pretty good. one i think is damn good. after i got those typed up, i went to go get a haircut. first time i ever got my hair cut by an Asian woman. i'm not sure how much English she spoke, but she did like the $10 tip on a $18 haircut.

 so, i was up at 6:45 this morning. i got mom up at 7:30. the guy that was supposed to start the demo on mom's bathroom called around 8 and said he was sick. fuck me. amazingly, the vanity my mother ordered that was supposed to arrive at the end of the month was delivered today. how that driver got his semi into the cul-de-sac is beyond me. and then after i got home from the grocery shopping and mom got done with her nap, we went to Lowe's to look at bathroom lights and paint. so, i guess tomorrow the demo will begin, at least in theory. the company that is doing the renovation said they will have everything (that is here at least) done in 3 days. hopefully, that will happen.

i did take mom to her doctor's appointment today. she is going to get another injection, sometime in March and then start back with physical therapy. after that, we went to Waffle House. first time she actually wanted to eat in public in months. so, that was a bit of a change.

i did pretty good last night in my gambling. nailed my hockey bets and got a few NBA bets right. college basketball didn't go my way last night. oh well. hopefully i will do even better tonight.

i did watch some of the coverage of the shooting at Michigan State last night. i wonder if people truly understand that this shit will always happen since no one gives two shits in this country about mental health or gun violence. as long as everyone should have a fucking gun is the prevalent thought among those in power, then guess what the fuck happens when someone who should never have a gun gets one...

tomorrow should be fucking crazy here. they are finally starting the demolition in mom's bathroom. of course, the vanity won't be here for another two weeks (more of my mother's procrastination), but they are going to at least get the shower done. on top of all that, i need to do the grocery shopping and we have a high wind warning as well. good times.

so, i will probably be on here tomorrow in the late afternoon once again. 

i think it also means i will have to get to bed before 5 AM like i have been doing, so that is all for me kids.

i need to get the trash picked up and figure out what snack will be dinner tonight.

 i thought the Super Bowl was pretty good last night. if it wasn't for that late holding call against the Eagles, i think the game would have gone down as an instant classic. i was about 1 yard away from making twice as much as i did last night, but the Eagles wide receiver who i needed to score went out of bounds at the one. i made $70 last night. if he scored a touchdown there, i would have had another $86. i looked at my mother and just laughed, welcome to the world of gambling. the Chiefs beat the Eagles last night, 38-35.

trades and more trades...

 today was the trade deadline in the NBA. the craziness started late last night when Kevin Durant got traded to Phoenix. that was a stunner. plenty of moves before the deadline this afternoon, but nothing as big as that. in all of that, the New York Rangers decided they weren't going to wait for the NHL trade deadline in March and made a trade with St. Louis. the Rangers traded Sammy Blais, prospect Hunter Skinner, a conditional 2023 1st round pick and a conditional 2024 4th round pick to the Blues for Vladimir Tarasenko and defenseman Niko Mikkola. the Blues are retaining half of Tarasenko's salary on top of it. HOLY SHIT, i love this move for the Rangers. i knew Tarasenko had waived his no trade clause for the 3 teams in New York/New Jersey area, so i was hoping the Rangers would get him. the fact they gave up really nothing to get him is even fucking better. i can't wait to see how Tarasenko fits in on the top line and since he will be a free agent next season, he will be playing for a contract. usually that means big things are in store. oh boy.
