sunshine, there you are...

 the sun actually made an appearance today. that was very welcomed. i think i got something close to decent sleep last night. of course, my back said something else. so, i spent a good portion of the morning in my massage chair with ice on me. good times.

The Voice was good last night. i have no clue which two are getting cut tonight.

Monday Night Raw was good last night, for the most part. i was expecting something better since it was the last Raw before Survivor Series. 

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and NXT.

the USMNT plays at Jamaica this evening in World Cup qualifying. hopefully, they will find a way to get a tough road win tonight.

the New York Rangers play at home tonight against Montreal. hopefully, they will win as well.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning, before i do the grocery shopping. i have a Dayton Flyers game tomorrow night.

i need to get the trash picked up before the USA plays, so that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

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

hazy hot and humid. must be summer...

when i went out to get the newspaper this morning, i could feel the humidity already. i knew it was going to be one of those days where it would be best spent just sleeping. oh well.

i laughed when i took my blood sugar this morning. i had a nice stiff drink last night for Manchester United's win, and sure enough, my blood sugar was the lowest it had been in 5 weeks. i told my mother, yet another example why i was supposed to be an alcoholic.

ROH was good last night.

UFC was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Black Monday, The Chi, the season finale of Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, Hightown, Perry Mason, I'll Be Gone in the Dark and Last Week Tonight.

i made biscuits and gravy for breakfast this morning. i think tonight is going to be some ribs, mashed potatoes and coleslaw. mom has another order from Omaha Steaks coming. i'm trying to make sure she's eating what she wants when she feels like shit. i tell her a morphine drip is probably the best thing for her. she won't listen to me.

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

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

until then...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands...

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

a rare moment indeed

i normally pride myself on being right. being right as close to 100% of the time as much as i can. so, it truly is a rare moment when i'm very happy to be wrong.

woke up early this morning/still night to me after a nap. what i witnessed was something i did not expect to see.

team USA absolutely destroyed Canada today at the World Juniors 5-1. i didn't see that one coming at all. not even imagined it could happen. i'm so happy to have been wrong about this team. they play Sweden in the gold medal game on Saturday. thankfully, at 8 am, so i'll actually be able to sleep decently before the game. what makes me even more happy is that the New York Rangers draft pick, J.T. Miller, looks like he's going to be a player. and sooner rather than later. music to my ears.

the wind has picked up here a little today, so now it really feels cold. between the furnace and the heaters, still around 70 inside the farmhouse. barely.

got a little editing work done today and i believe tomorrow will be the first poetry hunt of the new year. dust off the unpublished file and see if i can find any gems. if not, tomorrow will be a writing day.

music today:

Levon Helm - Dirt Farmer
Garth Brooks - No Fences
Cypress Hill - Live at The Fillmore
