black friday...

 amazingly, much like never having a Facebook account, i have never gone out shopping on Black Friday. and honestly, i don't think i have missed anything because of it.

Thanksgiving went pretty good for the most part. i think my sister and mother got mad at each other. i get the feeling my sister just can't accept the fact that mom's health is failing as quickly as it is. as i told my mother last night, that is her problem, not yours. 

the Dayton Flyers shocked the shit out of me yesterday. they easily played their best game of the season, defeating Miami of Florida, 76-60. they will play #4 Kansas today. if they win that game, i'll be totally fucking shocked.

the New Orleans Saints got their asses handed to them last night, losing to Buffalo, 31-6. i honestly stopped watching in the second quarter. i gave the remote to my sister and just walked out of the room. it is the first time the Saints have lost 4 games in a row in 5 years.

NXT UK was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and AEW Rampage. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on Peacock.

the New York Rangers play this afternoon in Boston. hopefully, they will find a way to get a win today.

i have to take mom to her heart doctor this afternoon. of course, we have to leave a little before noon to get there on time.

my sister will be leaving sometime tonight i think. she is doing some volunteer work tomorrow.

i should be on here tomorrow before Ohio State plays that school up north.

i hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

until tomorrow kids...

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.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands...

running on fumes...

i guess you could say i'm on the comedown now... of course, i'm burning the candle at both ends again. as i tell anyone who wants to listen. place your bets on the under on how many years i live. i can easily say i won't be here 25 years from now. and if i am, you can blame whatever angel decided i was worth the effort.

i had to take mom to get her blood work done again today. i guess her doctor didn't like the kidney numbers on the earlier one this week. she sees him on Monday. after that, she wanted to go to Bob Evans. i joked that it was before 4 PM, so we should beat the early dinner crowd. our waitress was on her first day on the job. that was fun. i gave her a good tip, mostly because she was drop dead gorgeous.

the New York Yankees lost last night in 12 innings to Tampa, 2-1. hopefully, they will get the split in the series tonight.

the New York Rangers got their first win of the preseason last night, 3-1 over the Islanders.

Smackdown was good last night, as was 205 Live.

Mayans M.C. had a nice oh fuck moment last night. loved it.

Mr. Mercedes was excellent last night.

The Voice was good last night.

The Jim Jefferies Show was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, the season finale of Big Brother, American Horror Story, Cake and The Masked Singer. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

Manchester United played Rochdale today in the League Cup. thank god i didn't watch. United ended up winning on penalty kicks, 5-3. i believe Rochdale plays 2 leagues below United. great.

i'll be on here tomorrow in the late afternoon again. i have a doctor's appointment at 2. when i get back home, i think mom wants me to take her to get her haircut. lord knows, i need one as well. so, if that happens, i'll be on here after we're all done.

that's all for me kids. thankfully tonight is full of mindless entertainment.

until tomorrow...

the eve of something

so i woke up this morning with a splitting headache and a nuclear arms race starting back up. oh goody.

the Dayton Flyers did a decent job last night keeping my mind off of the pain i was in. they had 7 players score in double figures last night as they easily crushed VMI 92-56. Scoochie Smith got his 1,000th point last night and the team tied the school record with 15 3 pointers. they did all this with their best player, Charles Cooke, sitting out with a wrist injury. hopefully that will be better by the time the A-10 schedule starts on December 30th against La Salle.

i got home to find out the New York Rangers got beat by Minnesota 7-4. that's two straight games the Rangers have given up 7 goals. not fucking good. maybe the Christmas break is coming at the right time.

of course, it's a bizarre world when the Columbus Blue Jackets have the most points in the NHL at the Christmas break.

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows. i can't wait for it to come back in 2017.

the New Orleans Saints play today at home against Tampa Bay. there is a small sliver of a chance for the Saints to make the playoffs. hopefully that chance still exists when they play today. i would love to see them win and basically screw up any chance for Tampa to make the playoffs.

i'm not sure what i'm doing this evening. usually my sister and i watch a movie on Christmas Eve. i think our new tradition is going to be the movie The Night Before. either that, or i might try the Westworld finale.

i hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas Eve. if you're shopping, good luck. if you're traveling, stay safe. if you're drinking, welcome aboard.

i hate my family just enough that i will probably be on here at some point tomorrow. as for now, i have a garage to rearrange. hopefully i will get that done before the Saints play.

one step forward and two giant leaps behind

it feels like it is early March outside this morning. considering the "experts" are saying we might have some spotty frost overnight, this is going to be one of those bizarro days it seems.

the New York Yankees were facing one of the best pitchers in the majors last night. it showed. i think i quit watching the game somewhere around the 3rd inning. i didn't miss anything. the Yankees lost 7-1. they also had another injury last night. to say this team is fragile is an understatement. hopefully they will get back to winning this afternoon.

i did watch some of the Tampa Bay vs. Pittsburgh game last night. as soon as i saw Ryan Callahan (former Rangers captain) destroy Kris Letang on a vicious hit early in the first period, i smiled. i love a series where the hatred starts early. that means the longer the series goes, the more physical it will be. i don't believe Pittsburgh can win that type of game. last night was good evidence. Tampa lost their starting goalie and still won the game 3-1.

other than that last night, mom caught up on the last 3 Lip Sync Battles she's missed. she's not good at using the DVR, so i watched them again with her. good son, i know.

i listened to the latest edition of Seton Calling this morning. excellent interview with Jamey Jasta. highly recommend it. you can check it out by going here:

i've got some poems swimming around my head, so with it supposed to be rainy on and off all day today, i figure i'll spend a good portion of the day writing.

i picked up some excellent FREE music at NoiseTrade this morning. i'll post the link below in the music section.

i'll be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays. i'll know if they are going to finish in the Top 4 or not, so i'll be either very happy or venting tomorrow afternoon.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

looks like snow for my birthday

as i am reluctantly realizing i'm getting old, i have been trying to do more stretching each day. mostly to try to keep my back from locking up. but, i have noticed in the last couple of days that my left hip is getting bad. it wouldn't surprise me that i just fall apart completely at 40. good times.

Monday Night Raw could have been so much better last night. i enjoyed the guys i normally enjoy, but god damn, Vince knows how to shit all over something. the ending was a true clusterfuck that amazingly, had a good ending. showing the Wyatt Family to be a group of monsters that can destroy anyone they want to is the right way to go. it sucks that it took this long for those dumb asses to figure this out. i have no clue who is going to win the Royal Rumble this Sunday. i like that.

i guess no one wants to be #1 in college basketball this season.

someone tell the Cleveland Cavaliers that getting your ass whipped on national television isn't how you get revenge on a team.

i didn't sleep that good last night. i don't think it was the cold, just the normal aches and pains that comes from arthritis. or at least that's what i am telling myself.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

the New York Rangers play at home tonight against Vancouver. hopefully, they will get a win.

at the same time, the Dayton Flyers are on the road at St. Bonaventure. hopefully they also get a win.

i could use the victory beers.

on the DVR tonight will be Total Divas.

i need to drive mom to the bank and get the trash picked up around here. they are saying we might get some snow the next few days. i always figured i would spend my 40th birthday shoveling something. i guess snow is better than shit.

i hope this finds everyone well and enjoying a beverage spiked with something strong.
