trades and more trades...

 today was the trade deadline in the NBA. the craziness started late last night when Kevin Durant got traded to Phoenix. that was a stunner. plenty of moves before the deadline this afternoon, but nothing as big as that. in all of that, the New York Rangers decided they weren't going to wait for the NHL trade deadline in March and made a trade with St. Louis. the Rangers traded Sammy Blais, prospect Hunter Skinner, a conditional 2023 1st round pick and a conditional 2024 4th round pick to the Blues for Vladimir Tarasenko and defenseman Niko Mikkola. the Blues are retaining half of Tarasenko's salary on top of it. HOLY SHIT, i love this move for the Rangers. i knew Tarasenko had waived his no trade clause for the 3 teams in New York/New Jersey area, so i was hoping the Rangers would get him. the fact they gave up really nothing to get him is even fucking better. i can't wait to see how Tarasenko fits in on the top line and since he will be a free agent next season, he will be playing for a contract. usually that means big things are in store. oh boy.

before i get to what the Rangers did last night...

much warmer today...

 i slept a little longer than normal this morning. i got somewhere near 6 hours of sleep, which is like a coma for me anymore. the Spanish princess and i texted each other last night. i think we have a better understanding of what we have and what we both want. it is like i can feel the relationship i have always wanted right at my fingertips, but still can't touch it yet. 

gambling went well yesterday, right up to the point where Gonzaga shit the bed and lost in OT. that punch to the dick destroyed a parlay i had going that would have turned $3 into $70. oh well. hopefully i will do better today.

on the DVR tonight will be The Last of Us, Your Honor and Murder in Big Horn. i'll probably be watching the Grammys for most of the night.

i'm sure the rest of today i will be watching some sports and doing laundry. i have zero interest in watching the Pro Bowl, so it will be soccer and college basketball for the rest of the day. 

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

until tomorrow kids...

just a bit of luck, hopefully...

 so, i went out today to get what i couldn't find yesterday. first off, i went to the bank to make a deposit. after that, i went to Big Lots as i had a 20% off coupon. of course, they had no baseball or football cards. i did find the Diet Coke my mother likes and these cookies she likes as well. after that, i went to Meijer. i found most of what i couldn't find yesterday. plus, i somehow found a box of 2021 Topps Stadium Club on the shelves. i snatched that as quick as i saw it. they usually only sell that shit on Saturday mornings. after that, i stopped by the Rite Aid close to the Kroger i go to. i did find the pills i couldn't find yesterday at the Rite Aid in town. plus, i did get a Fairfield box of baseball cards. there was about $10 worth of cards in that. then i went to Kroger to get the medication they didn't have ready yesterday. i was pretty much dead by the time i got back home. i'll open those Stadium Club cards later tonight. i'm hoping for some really good things inside the box.

AEW was really good last night.

Big Brother was crazy last night. i'm pretty sure Travis will get evicted tonight.

here are your highlights from Game 4 of the NBA Finals last night:

i did watch NXT UK right before starting this blog. it was an excellent show.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, When Nature Calls, Holey Moley, Big Brother and Desus & Mero.

the USMNT plays Martinique in the Gold Cup tonight. hopefully, they will get a big win tonight.

the Yankees were supposed to play the Red Sox tonight but the game was postponed because of positive COVID tests on the Yankees. oh boy.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

until then kids.

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the shot.
