one of those days, again...

 ok, might as well start this off with where yesterday began...

Manchester United and Arsenal finished 1-1 yesterday. United almost won a few different times, but i guess only Bruno is allowed to score anymore.

the New York Rangers had their asses handed to them yesterday at home against Columbus, 7-3. if this is how they are going to play and think they are going to make the playoffs, oh boy.

The Americas was very good last night.

The White Lotus was excellent last night.

The Righteous Gemstones was fucking hilarious last night.

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

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

Yellowjackets was fucking crazy last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice. i'll watch Monday Night Raw sometime tonight on Netflix.

i have to take mom to the eye doctor tomorrow morning. she's hoping that her vision is good enough to actually get some new glasses. i'm hoping she feels well enough to go as she hasn't been feeling good today.

i need to go cook dinner. i have some ground lamb i need to cook. i'm going to treat it like sausage and make some cheesy eggs to go with it for dinner.

i hope everyone had a good weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

Ohio State won last night at Michigan State, 38-7.

up too early for a Thursday...

 mom wanted me to wake her up at 9:30 this morning for her 11 AM meeting with her financial planner. i was up at 6:45, so i could get all my shit done and have breakfast in me by 9:30. everything went to plan until the actual meeting. mom can't see well enough to do anything on her iPad other than play games. her regular computer is shit and mine has that fucking hum, so we had no choice but to use her iPad for this meeting. eventually, i got everything set up for her. i swear, i feel like an IT guy on call. once everything got set up and running, the meeting went fine. her financial planner does a really good job of communicating with mom so she knows what is going on. better, he makes sure i know what is going on since i have power of attorney. 

quick tv update in the living room. we believe it might be the sound bar that is fucking up. we get the picture fine but the sound is all fucked up. so yeah...

welcome to the weekend...

 well, the fog finally lifted but there still was no sun today. i'm starting to think maybe it is a myth. i had to go to Meijer today to get some things. the lightbulbs we got for the new kitchen light haven't worked the way we were hoping. so, i just got some basic ones and they are working fine now. i had to get some coffee and some other stuff. i saved over $25 on everything and kept it under $100.

i did watch Killers of the Flower Moon last night. it was excellent. as i said to my mother around the middle of the movie, the saddest thing about this is all of this is based on true stories. if you have a spare 3 1/2 hours, i highly recommend checking this one out.

NJPW was excellent last night.

 it rained and rained all night long. as you can imagine, i didn't sleep worth a shit. i  probably didn't fall asleep until around 5 AM. thankfully, i woke up and was able to have breakfast before noon. i got all the grocery shopping done and was able to get back home before the next round of weather started. good times.

and now comes the melting...

 so, it looks like it is going to be nearly 30 degrees warmer here in a couple of days. i know damn well all of this ice and snow will be melted by then. i swear, the weather in Ohio is meant to make sure everyone just stays sick. the guy that does our driveway did a pretty good job yesterday. and he charged mom less than he said he was going to, which was nice as well. mom called more pills in to Kroger, so i'm waiting to make sure all those are done before i go out and get them. hell, i might as well just wait until i do the grocery shopping tomorrow.

i did watch that Ric Flair documentary on Peacock last night. it was very good.

Monday Night Raw was good last night.

at the World Juniors yesterday, the USA defeated Latvia, 5-2.

i did listen to episode 427 of Notsam Wrestling last night. you can hear that by going here:

happy last week of the year...

 so, Christmas went pretty good yesterday. i think mom really liked what i got her. we had some really good food yesterday as well. now here is where the dysfunction kicked in. i took her blood pressure last night and for the first time in eons, it was where it was supposed to be. her first thought was that she was dying. that stunned me and i am a pessimist most of the time. for her to react to good news like that on Christmas was baffling to me. but, this does explain why anytime i get good news i'm always looking for when the other shoe to drop instead of enjoying it. 

the New York Knicks lost yesterday at home to Philadelphia, 119-112.

here are your NBA highlights from Christmas Day:

i did watch some of all 3 football games yesterday:

George & Tammy was excellent last night.

the season finale of Ziwe was fucking hilarious last night.

the World Juniors start today. the USA will play Latvia this afternoon.

i might have to go to Kroger later today to get a prescription for my mother. if that happens, i might go to the bank and deposit the check i got for Christmas yesterday.

i should be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the afternoon.

i hope everyone had a great Christmas.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

thanks for the memories...

Obi Toppin made it official today, declaring for the NBA Draft. any Dayton fan with a brain knew this day was coming. i can't wait to see who drafts him and hopefully he has an amazing NBA career. thanks for the memories Obi, you will go down as one of the greatest in the history of the school.

Dark Side of the Ring was really, really good last night. it was mostly about Chris Benoit and that fucking tragedy, but also talked about Eddie Guerrero as well. so many damn memories of those two in my brain forever. and it's really obvious that the main guy behind the close of the episode was Chris Jericho, easily one of the greatest of all-time. i urge everyone to watch both parts of the episode, it's worth your time. as is the after show, After Dark, hosted by Chris Gethard. all of them are available for free on the VICE YouTube channel.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

i didn't sleep well last night, so for the second day in a row i've taken a 4 hour nap in the afternoon. i guess the shutdown will allow me to catch up on my sleep. joy.

i can't believe i've gone this many days without alcohol. no wonder why i'm irritable.

mom sent me out to get Pizza Hut last night. she likes their wings for some damn reason.

that's all for me kids.

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

stay healthy kids...

what a time to be alive...

so, i woke up this morning with my back on fire, needing to take a bloody shit. welcome to being 44. it took me the rest of the morning to get my back to a point where i could walk without a pain. i have a theory though. i believe it was my inner child fucking with me because he didn't want me to get my bifocals. of course, i got those this afternoon. my sunglasses aren't ready yet. joy.

Manchester United is quickly approaching rock bottom. they lost at home yesterday to Burnley, 2-0. i watched most of the debacle. they got what they deserved.

the Dayton Flyers whipped St. Bonaventure last night, 86-60. it was close for about 13 minutes. and then with a snap of the fingers, Dayton ended the first half on like a 22-5 run and that was that. they play a tough road game in Richmond on Saturday. Dayton is now in first place in the A10 by themselves.

NXT was really good last night.

AEW was really good as well last night.

where does the time go...

it just dawned on me last night that Christmas is now less than a week away. i guess i need to start wrapping gifts.

i wrote 6 poems yesterday while mom was doing her physical therapy. that gives me 41 for the month so far. not too bad.

the season finale of The Masked Singer was good last night. i got all 3 of my guesses correct.

AEW was really good last night.

NXT was fucking great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i will be on here tomorrow after my doctor's appointment for my neck. i'm interested in seeing how that appointment goes, especially since i have already done the physical therapy for my neck and no longer have any pain in it.

i think the doctor's appointment today is about checking my A1C and just a general follow up at the end of the year type shit.

i have a shower to go take, so that's all for me kids.
