and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

been up since 6 this morning...

 i think i went to sleep last night a little before 2 AM. i was up at 6 and knew falling back to sleep was not an option. the contractor was here at 7:30. mom went back to sleep when he started working. he left around 1 in the afternoon, but told me he would be back later with the flooring, etc. i was shocked at how much he got done already in the kitchen. got the carpet up, countertop off, two cabinets switched around and the plumbing for the new sink. that gives me hope that this renovation won't take as long as i was fearing.

the New Orleans Saints lost yesterday at home to Detroit, 33-28. hard to win when you get down 21-0 in the first quarter. that was why i had no problem leaving and going to Home Depot. we got the lights for the new kitchen light and some other things we needed. other than the rain while we were driving there, everything went well.

i did watch a few football games yesterday.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

the season finale of Shining Vale was pretty good last night.

Fellow Travelers was excellent last night.

The Curse was very funny last night.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan was great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw and The Voice.

the New York Rangers won last night at home against San Jose, 6-5.

i need to go to Rite Aid to pick up a prescription. i think i might pick up some dinner in town as well.

 first off, a computer update. last time, it was a thumb drive that cured the noise. this time, it was a shut down and reboot. at least i didn't have to hear the noise overnight.

i was up in time this morning to see Manchester United play Wolves. United won the game, 2-0. they desperately needed that win.

the New York Yankees won last night at home over Tampa, 6-5.

the New York Knicks lost last night at Miami, 96-92. Miami will play the winner of the Celtics and 76ers in the Eastern Conference Finals.

in a perfect world, i'll somehow find the time to do my laundry today and vacuum the house.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning, most likely.

reach for the sky

 so, i was watching the Dayton Flyers game last night when i got the alert on my phone that Jay Briscoe had died. now, Jay was one of my favorite wrestlers of all-time. i didn't want to believe the news, but then i started getting alert after alert and knew, fuck, this is real. i started combing the internet to find out as much as i could. the one thing i noticed was all the amazing things other wrestlers had to say about Jay. and what it made me wonder was, did they all tell him this shit when he was alive? it really hit me last night, i don't want my fucking flowers after i'm dead. i have no fucking use for them when i'm dead. so, please, tell me what you want me to know while i'm alive. the horrific thing about the car accident Jay died in, is he was driving with his two young daughters in the back of his truck. thankfully, they have survived the accident. i really feel for Mark Briscoe, Jay's brother, as i can't fucking imagine the pain he is going through right now. thanks for all the years and absolutely amazing matches Jay. you will be missed but never forgotten. rest in peace.

the other thing that sucks is as a wrestling fan, i am so fucking used to tragedies at this point that it doesn't phase me like it probably should. i mean fuck, Jay was 38 years old. younger than i am. that should hit anyone like a ton of bricks. but, i think i have been dealing with wrestling tragedies for most of the 40 plus years i have been a fan. just a crazy fucking world.

the Dayton Flyers did win last night at home against Davidson, 68-61.

NXT was really good last night.

the trip to Meijer yesterday went pretty well. i was able to find most of what i was looking for.

i did get the rest of the grocery shopping done today. that went pretty well, other than my arthritis raging by the end of the shopping. joy.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and Name That Tune.

i did watch a little of the USWNT defeat of New Zealand last night, 4-0.

so, i did get home in time to watch Manchester United today. they ended up with a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace. two things i hated. one, giving up the tying goal in the 89th minute. two, leaving Casemiro on long enough that he picked up a yellow card and will now miss the match against Arsenal this weekend. United could have gone second in the league with the victory. fuck.

the New York Knicks play tonight at home against the Wizards. hopefully, they will win.

i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. i know i need to pick up my pills at Rite Aid and mom's pills at Kroger. and i know one of the contractors are coming out here tomorrow to get some more measurements for the bathroom renovation.

so yeah, i will probably be on here in the afternoon tomorrow.

i need to figure out dinner tonight and get some ice on my back as the rain is coming back into the area now. good times.

until tomorrow kids.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

 i put out the trash last night and it was 55 degrees. i went out to get the empty recyclable container this morning and it was like 30 fucking degrees. fuck me. the wind was no joke today.

mom's nurse visit went well today. i think mom is much better than better realize. her Medicare is going to pay for some food to be sent to the house. i'm interested to see what they are going to send. 

today at the World Cup, Australia defeated Denmark, 1-0. Tunisia upset France, 1-0. Mexico beat Saudi Arabia, 2-1. and Argentina beat Poland, 2-0. those results meant that Argentina won Group C with Poland finishing second, 1 goal better than Mexico. first time Mexico hasn't got out of the group stage since 1978. France won Group D with Australia finishing second. so in the round of 16, Argentina will play Australia and France will play Poland.

the New York Knicks won last night at Detroit, 140-110. they play at home tonight against Milwaukee.

yesterday started off well enough here. and then mom had another fall. i'm not exactly sure what happened this time as i was getting a back massage in my chair. all i know is i heard a boom and looked into the kitchen and noticed my mother's rollator was on its side. i'm pretty sure she bruised her tailbone. she is still sore today. 

Game 7 last night between Boston and Miami was good. the road team won, which gives me hope for the Rangers tonight.

i did watch a little of the Indy 500 and NASCAR last night.

here are your 3 videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

Manchester United won yesterday against Norwich, 3-2. United pissed away a 2 goal lead but thankfully, CR7 saved the day once again. he got his hat trick on a free kick which proved to be the winning goal. add in some timely losses from Tottenham and Arsenal, United is now just 3 points out of 4th place.

the New York Rangers won against Detroit yesterday, 4-0. they are once again tied with Carolina for the division lead.

the New York Yankees won last night at Baltimore, 5-2. hopefully, they will win the series today.

a wasted day...

 i had all these plans today, and instead of actually getting shit done, i spent most of the fucking day on the phone with Anthem, Rite Aid and the guy who set up my new insurance. well, it turns out what the main fuck up was, and i wish someone would have pointed this out to me way sooner than now, the guy who got me my new insurance put in my birthday incorrectly. so when i was telling everyone that i was born on January 21, all they saw on the computer was that Anthem had my birthday down as January 27. the woman at Rite Aid, when i was calling to get two prescriptions refilled, told me about the birthday mix up. so, i ended up having to call Anthem and go through the entire application process again. it also doesn't help that my mother claims me on her taxes. i'm not sure if Anthem truly understands that this insurance is for me. and they kindly didn't tell me that it would take 48 hours for the changes to go into effect. and people wonder why i get depressed and why i apologize to my 8 year old self on days like these. so, i guess by early next week i'll truly know what the fuck is going on with my insurance. if it still fucked up after all this, i will slip into the ether and i'm sure someone will be able to write a nice tragedy about my story.

AEW was excellent last night.

Batwoman was really good last night.

I Can See Your Voice was good last night.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Columbus. hopefully, they will win.

also in Columbus tonight, the USMNT takes on El Salvador in a World Cup qualifying game. the USA really needs to win tonight. i would love if it would be decisively as well.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow. knowing my luck, i'll have another round of bullshit to tackle tomorrow. and it isn't like all the shit i wanted to get done today doesn't have to eventually get done. so yeah, it might as well fucking snow and whatever the fuck else to piss me off tomorrow and i'll just keep plowing through. eventually, my body will tap out and i'll be in my chair with ice on my back. with any luck, one day it will be a nice hard slab and they are putting me in to cremate me. of course, i'm not sure if anyone would actually want the ashes.

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.
