i remember i was housesitting for a friend as they were on vacation. i stayed there that night since he had cable and i didn't out at the farm. i watched as the USA defeated Canada in the World Cup of Hockey. that was 1996. tonight, the USA has the chance to defeat Canada to win the 4 Nations Face Off. i truly hope to see another great game and hopefully, the stars and stripes finding a way to win.

Happy Valentine's Day...
this day is somewhat hard for me, mostly because i don't think i have ever been in a relationship on Valentine's Day. 49 fucking years on this planet. let that sink in. but, i also don't want to be the asshole today and just shit all over those in relationships that have special plans or dinners, etc. such a delicate line to walk on. so yeah. a mix of depression and what can i distract myself with. joy.

i guess 5 hours is the best i can expect...
i got 5 hours of sleep last night. i know i need more, but i'll take what i can get. i did talk to the muse last night. it was good catching up with her. i'm happy she is taking another step in her dream of living in Germany, etc. one thing about me is i always want to see my friends achieve their dreams. and if i can help along the way, i certainly try. now, it would be lovely if that karma would come back and help me with my dreams. apparently, that is where the lines of communication tend to end. good times.
the Yankees won last night at Seattle, 2-1, in 10 innings. the win clinches a playoff spot. the lead in the division is now 5 games. magic number to clinch the division is 6 i think. hopefully, they will get the sweep this afternoon.

just another monday...
there was some rain early this morning. no wonder i woke up after 4 hours of sleep in pain. joy.
the New York Yankees won yesterday at home over Detroit, 5-2, in 8 innings. they are off tonight and start a series tomorrow night at home against the Astros.

i did get some poems written...
my back has been killing me here lately. but, i did get some poems written late last night. of course, that has meant that i haven't done shit today. it never fails honestly. these winter blues constantly kick my ass and all the tricks i have learned over the years to combat them don't work anymore. but, the poems were really good. i will hopefully get some submissions out soon.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

yesterday sucked...
it was bad enough that yesterday was the 20th anniversary of my stepfather's death. nothing really went the way i wanted, at all. one of those fucking frustrating days that makes you realize my 8 year old self was right. let's get this day of shit going.
first up was Manchester United. they pissed away chance after chance and ended up in a 0-0 draw against Watford. mind you, Watford is 19th in the league. i should have known what the rest of the day had in store for me from there.

the old tricks still work...
so, mom and i had biscuits and gravy for breakfast this morning. my sister had left some biscuits in the freezer the last time she was here. so, i thought i better use them finally, and we had one thing of sausage gravy left. we can't have this as often as we used to as there is too much sodium in the whole meal. but, it was good. after that, i knew Barcelona and Atletico Madrid was playing, so i found that on ESPN+. and the old tricks till works. anytime i need some sleep, i put on a soccer match between two teams i don't care about. sure enough, i got a good two hour nap in. works like a charm.
the Dayton Flyers lost at Saint Louis yesterday, 72-61. Dayton didn't shoot worth a fuck and didn't play defense worth a fuck either. that's a bad combo if you actually want to win.
the NHL All Star game yesterday was pretty good.
Sunday, August 15, 2021
another early Sunday...
i always love waking up at 4 in the morning after going to bed at 2. i tossed and turned until 7:30 came around. i watered the tomatoes, put some dishes away and made some coffee. yesterday felt like a Sunday to me. i can't wait to see what today feels like.
the Yankees won last night, 7-5 in 10 innings, over the White Sox. hopefully, they will win the series this afternoon.

what a day...
so, mom slept in, so everything i had planned got pushed back hours and hours. joy. i did go out card hunting today. i found some football cards at the Rite-Aid near the Kroger i shop at. i paid $5 for the box and they had around $15 worth of cards in it. i went to Big Lots before i went there. they only had 2 packs of cards left. so, i ended up getting some bubble mailers and a R2D2 funko pop so i could use the coupon. of course, the lady running the cash register scanned my rewards card and the coupon and then ripped both up. joy. so, i have to print out a new rewards card now. the 2019 Topps Opening Day pack had a few goods cards in it. the 2020 Topps Heritage pack had a card in it that is selling for $11. so, that made me happy. i did finally find some 2021 Topps Series 1 at Meijer today. i got 5 packs of that, which come with some purple parallels as well. i fucking love these cards. i got some really damn good rookies and some great inserts. i can see exactly why these cards are going to be harder than shit to find. at Kroger today, i had to pick up mom's really expensive pills. thankfully, she printed the GoodRx coupon for it and saved around $350. everywhere was fucking crowded as hell today. there's a winter storm coming this weekend and you would think the world was fucking ending. and of course, Valentine's Day is Sunday. who gives a shit.
i did write 2 poems last night. those 2 poems filled up that notebook. i always have a good feeling when i fill one of those up. the last poem i wrote is probably the best thing i have written in months. hopefully, i'll have a few more poems to start filling up the new notebook this weekend.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
Wednesday, September 16, 2020
so, i went to bed at a decent hour...
the Yankees whipped the Blue Jays last night, 20-6. they got a few players back from injury last night. tonight, they get Aaron Judge back from his injury. hopefully, they are getting healthy at the right time.
Big Brother was good last night.
Deadliest Catch was very good last night. the season finale is next week.

the grocery shopping went pretty good today. mom was a little shocked at how much i got. she was then stunned when she saw the receipt and saw how much i had saved. i keep telling her, if she would have had me doing this years ago, she'd be richer.
i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow.
thanks again for everyone that checked out my latest poem that was published. i really appreciate it.

so much for the sunshine...
i did get to the bank today. after i made that deposit, i went to get some gas. i always like having a full tank when some shitty weather is coming. after that, mom wanted Taco Bell for lunch today. i hate going there when it is raining because the drive-thru is out in the open and the inside of the car gets wet. good times.
