so, let me go back to the Manchester United game. sure, it was their first game in 16 days. but all i heard was about how hard they were training, etc. etc. well, you couldn't tell by the way they played. 90 minutes of absolute shit. amazingly, Cavani got a goal back for them for the 1-1 draw. but it only stayed that way because of the amazing saves of David De Gea. he is back to being the best in the world again.
a delightful trip into the dark mind of an evil genius or simply the musings of an asshole

not a good day for sports...
Monday, December 27, 2021
hello the rest of 2021...
as much as i'd love to get this fucking year over with already, there still is shit to do. i have had a productive day so far. i've been to the bank and i got my pills at Kroger. i got my new coffee maker going this morning. first time i have ever done the K cups. and it was also the first time i ever had Death Wish Coffee. i was happy that i liked it. i think the stronger caffeine is better for me actually.
team USA defeated Slovakia last night, 3-2, at the World Juniors. i'm happy they won, but they need to play a complete 60 minutes if they are going to repeat as champions.

the day after...
so, Christmas went pretty good yesterday. i believe my mother and my sister both liked what i got them. they got me a single cup coffee maker that i totally wasn't expecting. i figured i was going to start experimenting with stronger coffee when mom died. so, i guess that journey will begin sooner now. we had Cornish hens for our Christmas dinner. i can't remember how long it has been since i had one of them. i think next year, we're going to do wings in the air fryer. my sister's friends got me a bottle of gin. i sent back some alcohol with my sister for them.
i did watch plenty of the NBA yesterday. here are some highlights:

starting to feel like Christmas...
the cops are across the street doing something, so it finally feels like the holidays around here.
i did get all my laundry done yesterday. nothing quite like almost throwing your back out while putting a fitted sheet on your bed. good times.
i did watch a good portion of that Colts vs. Patriots game last night.

nothing went as planned today
so, i was supposed to take mom to physical therapy today. after that, she was going to get her bloodwork done. i made that appointment late last night. while she was getting ready this morning, she started feeling sick. and then she had a hard time standing up, even with her walker. so, i had to cancel all the appointments and i gave her a cold washcloth and told her to go to sleep. i'm trying to figure out if it was her rushing this morning that got her sick or was it all she tried to do yesterday and that made her sick today. good times. and now throw in some medical shit with my sister and you can imagine my stress level today.
the Dayton Flyers defeated Virginia Tech yesterday, 62-57. i loved the way Dayton played defense yesterday and when they can actually make shots, they could compete with just about anyone in the country. that being said, they have already proven they can lose to anyone in the country as well. but, this was a huge victory for them.

woke up this morning...
to the news of Anne Rice's death. i can't say i was a huge fan of Anne Rice, but i do know she was an incredible writer. what i was a fan of was how she talked about New Orleans. she always spoke of the magic and darkness of the town and how it was perfect for a writer. hell, i still believe i will live and probably die in that town at some point in my life. goodbye to a legend. thank you for the incredible ride. enjoy whatever comes next.

Manchester United won yesterday over Norwich, 1-0. i do love a clean sheet. that being said, man i would love if someone other than CR7 could be clinical in front of the goal these days.

feel like a zombie...
so, i guess i needed some sleep. 3 hours just wasn't going to cut it for today. i didn't get to bed until 6:30 this morning. i was up a little before 9:30. did my usual morning shit, got the Christmas cards into the mailbox, had breakfast and went to my massage chair. next thing i know, i was waking up and it was 4 in the afternoon. 3 of you getting Christmas cards from me this year will have yours mailed out tomorrow. i love a rural post office that closes a little after 4. but, since i have to get bloodwork done at 8:45 in the morning tomorrow, i know i will get to a post office on time then. good times.
NXT War Games was really good last night.

been a busy boy...
so, i got the other order of baseball cards i got from Small Business Saturday yesterday. these were from Repacked Wax in Akron, Ohio. i was thrilled with what i got. the highlight had to be the 1966 Topps Don Drysdale. i think the 4 best cards in the packs i got were worth more than what i paid for 10 packs. that is why i will always try to buy cards from Repacked Wax.
the Dayton Flyers won yesterday over Northern Illinois, 79-41. they will have their first true road game coming up on Wednesday at SMU. that should be a good measuring stick to see how good they really are now.

insert something witty here...
as you can see, i have no fucking title for the blog today, so the smart ass that resides in my brain won out. i have spent most of today in pain. fun times.
on to better news, the Dayton Flyers defeated Belmont yesterday, 63-61, to win that tournament down in Orlando. it's the first one they have won in a decade i believe. i really hope this is the galvanizing point of the season where they take off from here and be great. one thing that is really obvious, they are a much better team when Malachi Smith is on the floor. the offense flows so much better when he's running the show. he won the MVP of the tournament.

what could have been...
at least i am getting better at handling my anger. i was given plenty of practice yesterday as Ohio State shit the bed against that shit school up north. Ohio State lost 42-27. much like Ryan Day said after the game, it was a failure. the defense couldn't stop a fucking cold yesterday. and when you give up 5 rushing touchdowns to one player, you deserve to lose. i'm not sure which bowl game they will be playing in. i just know it isn't one that i wanted to see them in.

running on 3 hours of sleep...
maybe this is becoming my new normal for Mondays. going to bed sometime around the sun coming up and being up less than 3 hours later to put the coffee on. and then another power nap in the late morning and boom, tackle the rest of the day. i did go grocery shopping today. i found everything, between two different stores, that i needed to get for Thanksgiving. my sister will be down here tomorrow night. we should have plenty if she brings everything she said she was going to.
so, yesterday was a bit crazy. first off, let me start with the bad news. the New Orleans Saints lost to the Eagles yesterday, 40-29. honestly, it never even felt that close. the Saints play at home on Thanksgiving night against Buffalo. oh joy.
