it never gets boring...

 so, i was getting ready to write this about a hour ago. that was until i heard mom scream from her room. i went in and turned on the light and asked what was wrong? she started complaining about all the people in her room, etc. i told her she is once again hallucinating and thinking her dreams are reality. i explain to her all the time this is the byproduct of not doing any drugs while growing up in the 60's. 

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

the Yankees won last night at home to sweep the Royals, 4-3. they start a series tonight at Tampa.

AEW Dynamite was actually pretty good last night.

the season finale of Abbott Elementary was hilarious.

The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage and AEW Collision.

Manchester United plays today at home against Lyon in the Europa League. the score is 2-2 on aggregate. if United wins today they will advance. 

the New York Rangers finish their disappointing season tonight at home against Tampa Bay. the only reason to watch tonight is for Sam Rosen.

i did watch some of the NBA playoffs last night.

i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before mom has her physical therapy in the afternoon.

that's all for me kids...

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

well, hurry up and wait...

 i have a doctor's appointment on April 1st. i need to get bloodwork done. i am patiently waiting, i mean as fucking patiently as i possibly fucking can, for my Medicaid cards to show up so i can make the fucking changes to all the shit i have going on. i need to cancel Anthem, but i'm not doing that until the cards show up. and what really pisses me off, if i have been in the system since the 1st, why don't i have any cards 24 fucking days later? makes no fucking sense possible. i got a text from Kroger today that my Rybelsus will cost $2.657.56 to fill. basically, i am now in a Leonard Cohen song where it is way more cost effective to die than continue to struggle to live.

speaking of that, mom's doctor's appointment yesterday was interesting, she is a bit of a chatty person, always her nature. so, she admitted to having thoughts of suicide, etc. one, that pissed me off as it clearly is a reflection on the job i am doing as caretaker. second, of course they want her to think about taking some more pills to perhaps lighten her mood. third, why the fuck are these appointments two fucking hours long. 

we went to Arby's after the appointment and got home in time to watch Monday Night Raw. it was a really good show, once again.

The Voice was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, St. Denis Medical and Dark Side of the Ring.

the New York Rangers play tonight at the Los Angeles Kings.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

i'm probably doing pizza for dinner and my best guess is it will be raining when i take the trash out. joy.

until tomorrow kids...

up early on a Saturday...

 i got up pretty early this morning. i am always hyped up when this week comes around every year. the Ohio State vs. Michigan game always has meant something to me. for too much of my damn life, it has meant bitter losses. i am really hoping, and fuck it, expecting, this year to be different. i know if it isn't, Ryan Day will be job seeking and who knows what this team looks like next season. a win today puts Ohio State in the Big 10 championship game against Oregon. 

Smackdown and NXT Level Up last night were really good. i can't wait for Survivor Series today.

the Yacht Rock dockumentary last night was great.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Collision and AEW Rampage. i'll be watching WWE Survivor Series on Peacock.

the New York Rangers lost yesterday at Philadelphia, 3-1. they play this afternoon at home against Montreal.

the USWNT plays England today in a friendly at Wembley Stadium.

i'm sure i will watch some college football today.

we got some snow yesterday. hell, i woke from a nap and looked outside and it looked like a fucking blizzard. 

i did get my Christmas shopping for mom done last night. i had used my Capitol One Visa so damn much this year that i had enough points to get all of her gifts for FREE.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Everton in the morning.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

trying to stay productive...

 so, i got up in time this morning to have a little breakfast before i took mom to the dentist. i managed to write 4 poems while i was waiting for her in the parking lot. it was a pretty cool morning, so i didn't mind staying in the car. i typed the poems up when i got home. i think they are pretty good. i should have enough to get a few submissions out in the next few days.

the Yankees lost yesterday to the Rangers, 4-2. Judge didn't play, so he ended up second in batting average in the triple crown race. he should win the AL MVP, though i'm sure the math nerds will all be voting for Shohei Ohtani. the Yankees finished the season 99-63. makes sense since #99 carried them all damn season. they will play the winner of Cleveland and Tampa Bay in the playoffs next week.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to the Bruins, 5-4. i don't put much stock into preseason games. i can't wait for the season to start.

Manchester United won this afternoon in the Europa League, 3-2. they were trailing 1-0 at halftime to a team that was clearly inferior to them. so, in yet another case of superstition, i didn't watch the second half. as soon as i saw that Rashford and Martial scored, i let out a chuckle. they were originally in my starting lineup for the game. maybe ETH should ask me for some pointers...lol. United plays on Sunday at Everton.

AEW Dynamite last night was good.

all 4 episodes of Welcome to Wrexham last night were great.

The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NJPW, Little Demon, Atlanta and Young Sheldon.

i doubt i watch much or any of the NFL game tonight between the Colts and Broncos.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i take mom to the hospital to get some bloodwork done.

i need to go to Rite Aid in the morning. they will hopefully have my prescription ready.

now i need to figure dinner out. 

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

hard to believe

 so, the last time the Cincinnati Bengals went to the Super Bowl, i was 13 years old. to see them come back from being down 21-3 and defeat the Chiefs in OT, 27-24, was fucking surreal. they will play the LA Rams, who defeated the 49ers yesterday, 20-17. 

the New York Rangers pissed away another 2 goal lead yesterday against Seattle. thankfully, they scored late and won 3-2.

the USMNT lost to Canada yesterday, 2-0. now, this makes the match against Honduras a MUST win.

Power Book II: Ghost was excellent last night. the season finale is next week.

Billions was good last night.

Euphoria was amazing last night.

The Righteous Gemstones was hilarious last night.

Somebody Somewhere was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be two episodes, including the season finale of Kenan, That's My Jam, Celebrating Betty White and Monday Night Raw.

i did listen to episode 380 of Notsam Wrestling today. you can hear that by going here:

https://www.stitcher.com/show/sam-roberts-wrestling-podcast/episode/royal-rumble-the-good-the-bad-the-ugly-notsam-wrestling-380-90097046

so, i guess my insurance is finally figured out. i picked up my prescriptions from Rite Aid today.

i get the feeling i might do some grocery shopping tomorrow after i take mom to get the stitches out from her chest. we have what could be is a holy shit storm coming later this week. and i know if it is coming Thursday, the grocery stores on Wednesday will be like the end of the world.

i should be on here after i get that done tomorrow. hopefully it will be before the New York Rangers play Tuesday night.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

fuck racism.

what a weekend...

 the NFL playoff games yesterday were fucking crazy. but, given that Tom Brady is out of the playoffs, i am a happy boy. it is pretty amazing that this will be the first championship week in the NFL in 12 years that don't involve Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers. the Rams defeated Tampa Bay, 30-27, after they tried their hardest to blow a fucking lead. the Chiefs defeated the Bills, 42-36 in OT. that was one of the craziest fucking games i have ever seen in my 46 years of life. so, the Bengals will play at the Chiefs for the AFC Championship and the 49ers will play at the Rams for the NFC Championship. it would be pretty crazy if the Bengals and the 49ers play in the Super Bowl, especially since both times the Bengals have made it, they have lost to San Francisco.

Power Book II: Ghost last night was fucking crazy. loved it.

Billions was really good last night.

Euphoria was amazing last night.

The Righteous Gemstones was fucking hilarious last night.

Somebody Somewhere was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be two episodes of Kenan, That's My Jam and Monday Night Raw.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the Kings. i'd love to see the Rangers win tonight.

i did listen to episode 379 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:

https://www.stitcher.com/show/sam-roberts-wrestling-podcast/episode/mickie-james-notsam-wrestling-379-89927218

so, i went to the bank today to deposit the money from my birthday. after that, i went to Rite Aid to get some stuff for mom. and after i got done there, i finally got my hair cut. it feels so much better now.

i should be on here tomorrow after i go to the post office to sign for some mail that they don't trust the carriers to actually deliver. i'm guessing it is from the property in Florida that sold. i haven't decided if i am going to the Dayton Flyers game tomorrow night or not. kind of depends on the weather and my bad back. good times.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

growing old in the digital age...

 i think it was during the Keanu Reeves interview last night, i realized just how fucking old i am now. it becomes this existential crisis of sorts, where i can't escape my head, or thoughts, or the onslaught of nostalgia. i want to believe poems will come flying out of me during this shit. so far, that is not the case. it feels like i am trying to squeeze water out of a rock. and my theory has always been, when the words dry up, i have no use to this planet any longer. part of me thinks this is the holidays doing this. nothing says Christmas with the thought of death in the air.

mom had me go out last night and get some Lee's. she wanted the mashed potatoes for the most part. i had to crunch some numbers with her sodium restrictions, but i found a combo that worked for her. at least she feels better so far this morning.

The Voice was amazing last night. i think the winner is going to be between Girl Named Tom and Wendy Moten. and considering i had both of them in my final 3, i'm fine with either winning.

Monday Night Raw was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NXT, I Cane See Your Voice and The Voice season finale.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Colorado. hopefully, the game goes better for them than when they faced each other at MSG the other night.

i think my doctor's appointment today is to go over my blood work results from last week. i think all the numbers were good except for one liver number that is always high. so, it should be a quick appointment, hopefully.

i suppose i should start getting Christmas decorations up soon. of course, i'm not sure if mom wants the Thanksgiving ones put away just yet. oh how i love living in a house of procrastination. 

i'm going to try to get the blog done before i do the grocery shopping tomorrow. 

i need to go shave and shower, so that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fuck racism.

laundry day

 i decided i better do my laundry today rather than hunt for clean clothes to do the grocery shopping in tomorrow. hopefully, i'll get it done before all the shit starts tonight.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

The Voice was excellent last night. hopefully, it will be tonight as well.

i did watch a little of the Cowboys beating the Eagles last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

the Yankees start a massive 3 game series tonight in Toronto. they have a 1 game lead over the Red Sox for the first wild card spot.

the New York Rangers play their second preseason game tonight. i'll actually get to see some of it on the NHL Network i think. they lost their first game to the Islanders 4-0. hopefully, they do a little better tonight.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done and after Manchester United plays in the Champions League. i'm hoping i will be in a good mood.

i need to pick up the trash and probably fold some clothes here soon, so that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

welcome to the weekend...

 so, mom was in some pain last night. her left leg has been killing her. i think it is probably because her back is fucked up and most likely pinching a nerve and it is running down her leg. so, she told me to make her a drink that was strong. i gave her a shot of Kraken and Disaronno that set her mouth on fire. then, i went to my go to for something strong, Wild Turkey 101 with some Coke Zero. she said she slept pretty good though she did have to shit in the middle of the night. i told her welcome to the life of an alcoholic. good times.

the Yankees won a crazy game last night, 3-2 in 11 innings over Seattle. the Yankees didn't have a starter for the game so they became the first team in MLB history to win an extra inning game without having 1 pitcher go more than 2 innings in the game. so, of course, that means their bullpen will be short today. great. hopefully, they will find a way to win again.

Smackdown was pretty good last night. i didn't get to watch 205 Live last night since i watched the gold medal game instead. i have no damn clue why they don't archive those episodes immediately like they do other things for WWE on Peacock. of course, given the releases last night from NXT, i could see 205 Live going away soon.

the USA men's basketball team won the gold last night by defeating France, 87-82. 

Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty funny last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

i'm sure i will watch some of the Olympics today and maybe some MLS as well.

i got to see the highlights from the Manchester United friendly this morning against Everton. it's always good to win 4-0 in your last tune up for the regular season.

my sister is coming down here this afternoon. hopefully, she will take some of these tomatoes back home with her.

i should be on here in the morning tomorrow.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

 i think we ended up with around 2 inches of snow, maybe. it warmed up enough today that most of it that wasn't on the grass has melted. but, it did get cold enough that my arthritis was having fun last night. good times.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

Industry was very good last night.

The Voice was excellent last night. i hope my favorites survive elimination night tonight.

the Dayton Flyers finally get their season started tonight at home against Eastern Illinois. i think i'll be able to watch the game on ESPN+. i'm really hoping Dayton wins.

i guess the new phones came today. i don't think they are out of the boxes yet. so, that should tell you my excitement to activate them.

i have a ton of shit to do tomorrow. i want to get my Christmas cards done, the grocery shopping, i'm guessing a trip to the bank and of course, Manchester United plays PSG in the Champions League tomorrow.

i should be on here tomorrow after all of that is done.

as for now, i need to get the trash picked up here and next door and make sure i have ESPN+ all set up for the game tonight.

thanks to everyone that checked out my latest published poems:

my sister came down this morning. her friend came over as well. they are cleaning as a gift to my mother.

when INXS: Live Baby Live was filmed, i was 15 years old. you can imagine the flood of memories that came rushing back when i watched it last night.

Smackdown and 205 Live were good last night.

Room 104 was pretty good last night.

the season finale of Real Time with Bill Maher was fucking hilarious last night. the show will be back in January.

Trotwood won again last night in the Ohio High School football playoffs. they have advanced to the Regional Finals next Friday.

Ohio State plays today at Rutgers. it's the last game of Chase Young's suspension. hopefully, Ohio State will win easily once again.

the Dayton Flyers play at home tonight against Charleston Southern. the game is a sell out. my sister is going to the game with me. it's the first time she will have seen the completed arena.

i should be on here tomorrow before the New Orleans Saints play.

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