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.

a Sunday warm up...
it is supposed to get into the 50's today. and then, it is going to rain and by mid week, get cold again. the beauty of Ohio... wait 5 minutes and the weather will change and keep everyone sick. joy.
the guy that does our lawn came by yesterday to let us know he won't be doing it anymore. so, mom and i have to decide what we want to do.
Manchester United lost yesterday at home to Nottingham Forest, 3-2. i wasn't thrilled with that. and then i woke up this morning to the news that their sporting director has left the club. given the statement that United put out, it is beyond obvious he got fired. chaos upon chaos. great.

welcome to the weekend...
i slept like shit last night. tossed and turned all evening. felt like i had been in a car crash when i finally woke up. good times.
the New York Rangers had their asses handed to them last night, losing at home to Buffalo, 6-1.

another day talking about death...
my mother isn't exactly aging gracefully. i can tell the fear she has on most days as her motor skills decline, becomes more forgetful, etc. i try to tell her to think of the positives, but that does nothing. she often talks about being afraid to die. i stress to her constantly that death is only the natural conclusion to life. it will happen to each and every one of us, whether we like it or not. i want her to enjoy what she has left, not be afraid of what is coming. as someone who has wanted to die since he was 8 years old, i believe i have some experience in saying fuck it, and just move on. but, i can't say i am fully prepared for my mother's death. part of me doesn't want to be overly prepared for it. i want to live in the urgency of now. also, i don't believe she will be dying anytime soon. the problem she is having is none of the drugs they are trying on her are working. so, now i think she has no choice but to go on insulin. and i'm not really looking forward to that. cause i know damn well i will be the one giving her shots before too long. joy.
the Yankees lost last night at home to Cleveland, 9-5 in 12 innings.

a windy, warm day...
it was damn near 60 degrees today. if it was just that and sunny, today would have been perfect. but, the wind had something different in mind. i had to take mom to the hospital today to do some test for her appointment next week with her doctor. i took the highway and i just love when it is so fucking windy the big trucks have a hard time staying in their lanes. joy.
the New York Rangers won last night at home over Tampa Bay, 3-1.

sometimes the hours just bleed together...
my bad back has been really fucking with me the last couple of days. so, i had a little time this morning to put some ice on it and catch a nap. well, that nap extended into the afternoon. i woke up about 15 minutes before i had to drive my mother to her physical therapy session. this is why i keep my hair short. no need to fuck with it if i am in a rush. we got there on time, as usual. it was warm enough today that i probably didn't need anything more than a t-shirt on. i did write 4 poems today while mom was in her session. those are pretty good. i typed them up when i got home. i did have an interesting conversation with a guy at the facility. he stopped and asked if i was really... i had my New Orleans Saints mask on, so i knew exactly what he was talking about. i said i am and we bumped fists. he then started talking about the team and i told him i am fine with Dennis Allen as coach, fine with keeping the offensive coordinator the same, which means the offense should stay the same. they just need a few tweaks here and there, Mickey needs to work his magic with the cap and they simply need to find the right QB. he agreed. he is from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. that is the one thing i do love about Saints fans. black, white, whatever, it is always about the team.
the NBA All-Star game last night was really good. Steph went nuts from the 3 point line and of course, LeBron James hit the winning shot.
i did watch a good bit of the Daytona 500 yesterday. they had some crazy fucking crashes. the finish was pretty damn close as well.

i've had it with humans...
so, here is a little slice of my day today at the grocery store. i was standing in line and noticed there was this young family behind me. i'm guessing the parents were in their late 20's and they had 2 little kids with them. the checkout lane next to me opened up and i mentioned it to them, since i could tell, especially on the father's face, he was ready to get the fuck out of there. so, they went in that lane and i stayed in mine. both of them thanked me. i then got up to the cashier in my lane and of course, here comes the fun. there was a shift change and that also meant, the bagger that was working that lane left as well. so, you can imagine the fun i had bagging my groceries as both of my arms were raging from the pinched nerves. the lady behind me had already put her credit card and coupons on the little spot next to the card reader, thinking i was done. i just looked at her with the most evil fucking look i can muster with a fucking mask on. the cashier told the lady i still had to pay. she moved back. i put my card in and the cashier told me thanks. i told her i need the receipt. oh, that's right. she gave me the receipt and the needless coupons that came with it. mind you, the winds today were blowing around 45 MPH all the fucking time. i got my groceries in the Highlander and just mumbled to myself, i'm done with fucking humans. maybe i'll become Howard Hughes after all.
Manchester United won 2-0 yesterday against Brighton. CR7 finally scored again. Bruno added another goal late. our damn internet went out right as the defender from Brighton was getting a red card. the win puts United back into 4th place.

it snowed all day long...
so, we were supposed to just get some snow in the morning. instead, it has snowed all day long. now, it has only accumulated to about an inch or so, but still... i think i left the house for a couple minutes today, just to get the paper and the mail.
the USMNT defeated El Salvador last night, 1-0. i wish they would have been more clinical in the final third, but i'll gladly take the 3 points and get one step closer to qualifying for the World Cup.
the New York Rangers pissed away a 2 goal lead last night and lost to Columbus, 5-3. they play Minnesota today at home. they are retiring Henrik Lundqvist's #30 tonight. it should be quite the ceremony. the team announced today that Adam Fox is on IR. i'm hoping he didn't break his wrist last night. he won't be back until after the All Star break.

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.

and just like that... it's gone...
just as i was getting used to staying up late as fuck to watch some sport i only watch every 4 years, the Olympics are done and over with. i did stay up to watch the USA women's basketball team last night. and i watched most of the gold medal women's volleyball game between the USA and Brazil. needless to say, i went to bed around 3 this morning a very happy man. the USA finished with more medals than any other country as well as more gold medals than China.
