maybe i can get some sleep now...

 my mother had her oxygen tank (for lack of a better word) delivered here last night. the guy who brought it and set it up was really nice. he explained things very clearly. mom has to use it every night while she is sleeping. thankfully, it doesn't make much noise. she said she felt pretty good last night. we have to figure out all her foods and how much she can have. but, i'm sure we'll get the feel for that before too long.

Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night.

Austin City Limits was an old episode last night with Willie Nelson.

ROH was pretty good last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Axios, Allen v. Farrow, Last Week Tonight, Batwoman, The Luminaries, Shameless and Desus & Mero. i'll be watching WWE Elimination Chamber for most of the evening.

Manchester United plays later today at home. the game is Peacock, so i'll have to follow along on my phone. hopefully, they will get a victory today.

the USWNT takes on Brazil today in the SheBelieves Cup.

i'm sure i'll probably watch some college basketball today as well.

and maybe a little outdoor hockey...

i have no idea when i will be on here tomorrow. i think mom has some home healthcare people coming or calling or both tomorrow. i know her endless parade to the doctors starts on Tuesday.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday is even better.

until tomorrow kids...

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

like a punch to the gut...

when i got the news about the death of John Lewis last night, it was like a punch to the gut. and then to think that he and C.T. Vivian died on the same day, it was like being punched yet again. i am a huge fan of history, especially history that means something. the civil rights movement was something that was taught to us in high school with a little more urgency i believe than at other schools, since the school i was going to was mostly made up of black students. i had friends that had parents and grandparents that marched on Washington. i used to listen to those stories and listen to the speeches all the time. i'm not sure how many people in this ignorant as shit country truly understand the gravity of who died yesterday. they are probably too busy with their pride that a racist is the president of this country. my only hope is that Mr. Lewis is finding some good trouble. rest in power. likewise for Mr. Vivian.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH and Austin City Limits.

i need to do my laundry today. i was hoping to have most of it done already, but i didn't fall asleep until 5 this morning once again. it's like my body has shifted back to when i used to work third shift in my 20's.

my sister should be down here in a couple hours, so that's all for me kids.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

arrest Breonna Taylor's killers already...

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

wear your mask.

no solo el sueño nunca muere, sino que realmente se puede lograr

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...
