and now the rain...

 i swear, the rain has been just enough today to make my back feel like an elephant has strapped himself to me and just won't let go. these are the days where i think there isn't enough heroin in the world to take this pain away. joy.

i did have a lovely conversation last night with the Spanish princess. i can imagine if i lived closer to her, what adventures my life would be filled with now. i think both of us dream about what could be, though we both know the odds are so fucking stacked against us, how many times do we really want to roll that ball up the mountain?

the New York Rangers lost last night in Tampa in a shootout, 2-1. that was beyond fucking frustrating to watch, but at least they got a point out of the game.

team USA won at the World Juniors yesterday, defeating Switzerland, 5-1. that sets up a winner take the group game tomorrow against Finland.

the New York Knicks lost last night in San Antonio, 122-115.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

i did watch some college football last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and AEW Rampage. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

i have my favorite songs of the year lined up for tomorrow's blog. it is a pretty eclectic mix i believe.

tomorrow is going to be one of the crazy days for me that has sports on from the moment i wake up until i probably go to sleep. i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the morning.

hard to believe yet another year is coming to an end. hard to believe i'm not dead, hard to believe my mother has cheated death again, hard to believe the words still find me from time to time, hard to believe that i still have to burn fucking bridges in 2022. luckily for me, there won't be many left after this year, so... while i know it won't be smooth sailing ahead, i feel like i am in a much better position to actually do something about it. and in two days i can finally legally gamble on sports in this small minded redneck bible thumping state... time to see if i still have the smarts to turn $20 into $400 like i did so many years ago.

more on that in 2023. i am ready for 2022 to be over. hopefully, it goes out with a bang.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

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...

learning to live with nerve pain...

 it isn't exactly something i want to do, but i don't really have a choice. i don't live in a state that is smart enough to make marijuana legal. so, whenever my right arm starts to radiate from the nerve pain, i like to think of it as a cyborg has taken over that arm. that i am now part machine. maybe that explains all the sleep i don't get. 

so, mom wanted me to take her to the local insurance place so she could make the payment on her life insurance. we got there and she had some steps to go up to get inside. thank god she took her pain pill. she managed to get inside pretty good. she gave the lady her name and then handed her the paperwork and a check. the lady informed mom that they no longer take payments for life insurance in the office. they have to be mailed in. now mind you, we were at the post office before we went to the insurance place. i asked mom if they told her this information when she called them yesterday. she said no. i went to McDonald's to get lunch and then took mom back home. of course, somehow, they got our order wrong. mom got what she wanted, of course, i didn't. mom found the envelope and put everything in it. i had to go back out to the local grocery store anyway since we were out of bread. i made my second trip to the post office and then found just about everything i was looking for at the grocery store. so, tomorrow it will just be a trip to Rite Aid and Kroger. good times.

American Song Contest was much better last night. i didn't like the song that won the night, but there were plenty of really good songs that i did like.

Better Things was excellent last night.

Monday Night Raw was good last night. i can't wait for this weekend.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Young Rock, Name That Tune and NXT.

the New York Rangers play tonight at the Penguins. hopefully, the boys get a win tonight.

the NIT semifinals are tonight. i might watch some of those games.

i need to pick up the trash so that's all for me kids.

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

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck Putin.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the fucking shot.

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