absolutely stunned...

 so, i woke up this morning, took my pill that i have to take when i wake up; checked my phone before i took my blood sugar. that was when i first saw the tragic news out of the NHL this morning. i quickly checked a couple different places and i couldn't believe my eyes. Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew were killed last night in New Jersey when they were hit by a drunk driver while they were on their bicycles. as i dug deeper into the story, it got even worse. they were in New Jersey for their sister's wedding as they were both going to be groomsmen. add in that Johnny just had his birthday 16 days ago and Matthew's wife is pregnant, holy fuck. i have been somewhat numb all fucking day after that. 

today was deadline day for Manchester United and all of Europe. United got a few deals done that made me pretty damn happy.

Big Brother was good last night. sadly, Tucker was evicted. Quinn is the new HOH.

NJPW was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Real Time with Bill Maher and Inside the NFL. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

the Yankees play at home tonight against St. Louis. i really hope they win.

i will probably be on here tomorrow in the morning as WWE Bash in Berlin will be starting at 11 AM.

i need to go figure out dinner tonight, so that's all for me kids.

oh, by the way, i did write 2 poems last night. so, maybe i will get some poems out before September gets here.

the Yankees won last night over Boston, 14-1. it was nice to see them get back to normal again. hopefully, the boys will win again today.

Nikki Glaser: Good Clean Filth was fucking hilarious last night.

 mom's doctor's appointment was long, like i predicted, but at least she got some clarity on what meds she should be taking and what she can stop taking. i swear, if you saw our kitchen table right now, it's like a scene out of Drugstore Cowboy. 

Monday Night Raw last night was good, for the most part.

Beartown was excellent last night. i think i am going to love this show.

The Investigation was great last night.

late last night, i heard from my friend Janne Karlsson from Sweden. first time i had heard from him in over a year. i'm so happy he's not dead.

sometimes the pills stop working

so today is the second day in a row my neck feels like shit. i was hoping the pill i take for the pinched nerve in my neck 3 times a day would work last night when i added a little heat on my neck. no luck. i basically had to drink alcohol last night to sleep at all. less than 5 measly hours. needless to say, i'm not going to the basketball game today.

the New York Rangers won last night in Buffalo, 6-2.

NJPW was pretty good last night.

WOW was good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was excellent last night.

2 Dope Queens was really good last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live and ROH. i'll probably watch the NBA All-Star Saturday Night events for most of the night (3 point contest, dunk contest, etc.)

the Dayton Flyers play today at home against VCU. Dayton is going to be missing Trey Landers, who hurt his shoulder in practice this week. i'll watch the game from home, but i figure VCU will probably win.

i have no interest in growing old

mom's mental health evaluation today was a fucking joke. the doctor truly had no interest in anything mom had to say. he was simply doing whatever it took to get the paperwork he has to do for Social Security done so he could get to the next person. i was in the room with her and i don't think i have ever seen someone so fucking impatient in my life. he cut off mom mid-answer about 85% of their talk. i told mom that it was painfully obvious that he must get paid by the number of tasks he gets done, not by the hour. and i could tell he was annoyed that mom's interview went for a full 30 minutes. if she gets her disability claim denied because of this fuck, i'm going to be really fucking pissed.

after that we went out to lunch and did a little shopping. the sun was out today, so i figured we might as well take advantage of somewhat decent weather.

the New York Rangers gave up 2 goals in the first minute yesterday. only 1 of them counted thankfully. the Rangers were able to tie the score against Winnipeg the final minute of the first period. after that, i thought the Rangers were actually the better team. they won the game 3-1. that's the first time Winnipeg has lost 2 games in a row at home all season. hell, i guess the Rangers should have said they were blowing up the team a month ago. maybe they would be on a longer winning streak. the Rangers play again tomorrow night at Minnesota.

i took a chance on Here and Now last night on HBO and i'm so happy i did. i can tell right away that i'm really going to fucking love this show.

Homeland was pretty good last night.

The Chi was excellent last night.

Crashing was hilarious last night.

Divorce was good last night.

Our Cartoon President was fucking hilarious last night. i wouldn't be surprised if Stephen Colbert doesn't get death threats from all the Trump supporters over this show. god i loved it.

Celebrity Big Brother was good last night. i have no damn clue who will be going home tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Celebrity Big Brother. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

our water went out last night. i thought maybe there was a vapor lock or something. i thought that theory was good until we found out today from our cousins that there was a water main break over by them last night. they live a few streets over. that's a much more likely cause.

i've got some great FREE music at NoiseTrade in the last week or so. below are the links.
ASHRR - Medicine Man
Angie Aparo - Hello, my name is Angie Aparo
Tarra Layne - Once You Go Red...

i'll be on here tomorrow in the morning most likely. mom has physical therapy in the afternoon. i figure we'll be getting an early dinner after that.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

you ever hear a certain song on the radio...

so last night was a little weird. we got a phone call from next door saying that my uncle is now in remission. how the fuck can someone go from one day having cancer spread to the liver to being in remission in 24 hours? now, the one good thing about all of this, the doctor that told him he was in remission is the same doctor that was my stepfather's cancer doctor. so his word carries a little more weight than these other assholes in my book. so, i'm happy for my uncle, but i really hope no one thinks remission actually means cancer free.

it has been snowing here all day long. amazingly, i think we might have a 1/4 inch of accumulation. hopefully it stays that way.

NXT was really good last night. i am thrilled to see Austin Aries in NXT. too many people have no clue how fucking great he actually is. and the main event between Finn Balor and Neville was off the charts great.

Lucha Underground was amazing, as usual. the ladder match was about as violent as i have seen a ladder match be in years. plus, the awesome storytelling that comes with every episode was top notch once again.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Life in Pieces, WWE Smackdown and Baskets.

the New York Rangers play at Pittsburgh tonight. i did see that Rick Nash skated a little today in practice. he's about 2 weeks away from returning. hopefully the boys can continue to play well in his absence. tonight will be a strong test for them. hopefully i'll be enjoying a victory beer later tonight.

i've been swimming in nostalgia today in music. i happened to hear a song from The Replacements yesterday when i was driving and it has been stuck in my head ever since. one thing leads to another and i'm digging through all my music to find some songs from the 90's. you'll see it all in the music section below.

i took a long hot shower this afternoon, hoping that would help my arthritis some. i believe any relief i got is starting to wear off right now. good times.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i think mom has a physical therapy appointment in the afternoon. so, i'll probably be on here in the early evening or so.

i hope this finds everyone figuring out what words of praise you want to say for the three poems i got published today.

what up fools

as some of you may know, April is poetry month. so, this year i am going to put a link to either a poem, or a story, or an article, or something at the start of each blog as my little ode to national poetry month. so, today, here you go:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/victoria-chang/13-poetry-collections-for_b_5065153.html

i'm a little stunned at the moment as i was fully expecting Manchester United to get hammered today. amazingly, they drew 1-1. of course, Bayern gets the big away goal but at least this gives me hope that next week in Germany United has a chance. this also pisses me off as i wonder where the fuck was this defensive effort in the Premier League this year. oh well.

a big night for me as the New York Yankees start another season. and it is the last season for Derek Jeter. so, i'll probably be a sap in this blog from time to time with my memories of my second favorite Yankee of all time. they start the season in Houston, which hopefully leads to some wins right away.

also tonight, the New York Rangers play in Vancouver. so, more stories about the coaches seeing their old teams, etc... all i really give a shit about is the Rangers winning.

also tonight is the next episode of The Voice. they are hyping this as amazing tonight... we'll see. i did enjoy last night's episode. i still believe Usher has the best team.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. Bray Wyatt has the chance to be one of the best ever cutting promos. and i really enjoyed Daniel Bryan beating the shit out of HHH at the end. that should set up this weekend rather well. i'll be getting Wrestlemania and whenever we move, i do plan on getting the WWE Network. but i'll definitely need a better high speed internet for that to happen.

i didn't do much today as my mom wasn't feeling well so i made sure to be around for her. she has surgery in a few weeks so i think her nerves may be getting to her. so, i'm trying to be the asshole that makes her laugh and take her minds off of things. good times.

got another cartoon from my friend in Sweden today. i'm going to have to find a publisher for this shit. it's too good not to be seen.

that's all for me today kids. no good April Fools jokes today, other than what The Flaming Lips pulled off. i was busy trying to clean up messes in the cellar. fun.

i'll be on here sometime in the afternoon tomorrow. i'm planning on doing some groundwork on getting ready to send some poems out here soon. so expect plenty of music to be consumed tomorrow.

take it easy my enemies, and then take it again.
