felt like spring today...

 it was in the 60's today. felt kind of weird being out in February without a coat on. i did go to Menards this afternoon. i found most of what i was looking for. i had enough rebates, etc. that the final bill was a little over $15. mom nearly shit herself when she saw that when i got back home. normally, i would spend close to $100 there.


here are your videos for this day of Black History Month:







i did watch the WWE press conference last night to kick off the road to WrestleMania, etc. it was very good.

welcome to a cold Friday...

i would love to wait for it to warm up to go do the grocery shopping, but i would have to wait until Sunday for that to happen. oh well.

the New York Rangers won their franchise's best 9th straight road game at Montreal last night, 5-2. considering they were trailing entering the 3rd period 2-1, i'm pretty damn happy with the result. they play tonight at Philadelphia.

Will & Grace was very funny last night.

Indebted was good last night.

Desus & Mero was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Real Time with Bill Maher and High Maintenance. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at home against Davidson. the game is on ESPN2 tonight. Dick Vitale will be broadcasting it, so i'm sure he'll make an ass of himself at some point. if Dayton wins the game, they will clinch the A10 title outright.

i am planning on going to the game, so that's all for me today kids. i need to shower and then get all the grocery shopping done.

i hope everyone has a great Friday. hope your weekend gets off on the right foot.

i should be on here in the early afternoon tomorrow.

until then...

i would give my left arm for a good night of sleep...

hard to believe Kurt Cobain would have been 53 today. i still remember the exact spot i was in when i heard he died.

i didn't sleep worth a shit last night. maybe 2 hours at best in my bed. a little over 2 hours in the chair.  i didn't really feel like i was awake until 2 this afternoon. good times.

the New York Rangers won last night in Chicago, 6-3. things are going to get real interesting at the trade deadline if they keep on winning.

The Masked Singer was good last night.

NXT was really good last night.

AEW was excellent last night.

Miz & Mrs was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Young Sheldon, The Unicorn, Will & Grace, Indebted and Desus & Mero.

i already watched NXT UK this afternoon. it was pretty good.

i see the New York Yankees are off to a shitty start regarding last year's biggest fucking problem, injuries. yesterday it was Aaron Judge and today its Luis Severino. fuck me.

Manchester United played a 1-1 draw today in the Europa League. hopefully, that away goal comes in handy next week.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get all the grocery shopping done.

it's way fucking colder today than the last few days. i thought we were supposed to have an early Spring. fucking groundhog.

until tomorrow kids...

sometimes, you have to admit failure...

i got into a fascinating conversation with the muse last night and we started talking about politics. many of you know i hate the politics in this country. but, she said something that kind of hit me. if i really want to see things change in this country, i'm not exactly going about it in a way that can do anything. so, i decided to fuck it and i registered to vote. now, i'll be interested to see if the county actually accepts it. if they do, i'm planning on doing an absentee ballot as i know i would probably kill a motherfucker or two if i actually went to vote. i live in a very, very Republican part of this county. the level of ignorance in this town is fucking amazing. it doesn't shock me that i have lived here since 1997 and i rarely talk to anyone. so, as i told my mother last night, the goal will be to fuck up the system from within.

the muse and i have been trading songs back and forth today. i think we could probably talk for days on end about music and never get bored of each other. hell, maybe one of these days that will actually happen.

the New York Yankees lost yesterday at Boston, 10-2. it was basically a spring training game. the Yankees will host Oakland Wednesday night in the wild card game. the winner will play in the division series against Boston. it's finally time for the playoffs.

the New Orleans Saints won 33-18 against the New York Giants yesterday. it was pretty close until Alvin Kamara took over the game in the second half. the Saints play next week at home against Washington.

The Deuce was really good last night.

Ballers was good last night. that season finale is next week.

the season finale of Insecure was excellent last night.

Last Week Tonight was hilarious as usual.

the 100th episode of Shameless was really good last night.

Kidding was dark and excellent once again last night.

America to Me was really, really good last night. it certainly brought back some memories of when i was the only white kid on the basketball team in junior high.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

i have a doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon. i'm hoping to be done with that by the time Manchester United plays in the Champions League tomorrow.

i'm not really looking forward to the doctor's appointment. i know they need to check my numbers for my Type 2 Diabetes and my cholesterol, plus i need a flu shot and my prescriptions refilled. and then there's the laundry list of needing a scan on my left leg to see how much of it is dead. i need a back x-ray to see what the fuck is going on in the middle of my back. if that is as bad as my lower back, i'm fucked. and i'd love to find out what this is on the right side of my stomach. it's internal, so i'm guessing it's nothing good.

and then at some point this week i need to go to the bank, get a haircut, and i need to take mom to the grocery store to bitch out the pharmacist for fucking up her billing. on top of all that, the landscaper is going to start that project this Wednesday i believe.

there's never a dull fucking moment when you're crazy. never forget that kids.

i'm hoping to talk the muse into a plan to take over the world one day. if she says yes, this world will never be the same.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. hard to fucking believe it's already October.

i should have just stayed in bed

i could tell after watching a few minutes of the Manchester United game this morning that United was going to be in trouble. Newcastle had a plan and they were sticking to it. sure enough, United wasn't clinical when they had the few chances they got today and they gave up a fucking set piece at the wrong fucking time. Newcastle won 1-0. i truly hope this isn't what this fucking day is going to be like.

i read a review of Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars that said the documentary was dull. i'm guessing the reviewer isn't a fan of the music or perhaps just has a shitty life to begin with. i found the documentary to be very good and heartbreaking at the same time. i truly understand now why Eric was attracted to blues music at such a young age. and i think he may have given me one of the greatest lines i have ever heard. i couldn't bring myself to suicide because i wouldn't be able to have my next drink. that's fucking genius. i highly recommend checking this out if you love music or just love a tragic story that has an unexpected ending.

ROH was excellent last night.

the Dayton Flyers played a pretty good first half yesterday and got a long range buzzer beater to go in to have the lead at halftime against VCU. they took all that momentum and managed to piss it away to fall behind by 17 points in the second half. they managed to dig themselves out of that hole with a furious run to send the game to overtime. but, since Dayton's coach doesn't believe in playing the bench, the guys ran out of fucking gas. it doesn't help when your senior leader is a fucking turnover waiting to happen. and when the coach basically says after the game that the reason only 7 players played for Dayton was a coaching decision because he thought the players on the court were doing a good enough job... it just makes you want to bang your head against a brick wall. my new conspiracy theory is the coach knows he can't coach these players so he's trying to get them to transfer or leave the school so he can bring in players that he wants to think he can coach. even a decent fucking coach would try to make something out of what he has. but Anthony Grant knows the school doesn't have the balls to fire an alumni after just 1 season. VCU won yesterday 88-84 in OT.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Celebrity Big Brother, Our Cartoon President, Homeland, The Chi, Here and Now, Crashing and Divorce.

we got some freezing rain last night. i nearly fell on the driveway this morning while going to get the paper. thankfully, i was able to get to the grass and get down there without falling.

USA Soccer elected a new president yesterday. i guess they decided that the status quo is good enough.

i think i have to take mom to have some testing done tomorrow for her disability claim. i believe that is in the morning. so, i'll probably be on here after that happens.

the New York Rangers play this afternoon up in Winnipeg. i'd love to see them build on their win against Calgary, but i'm not counting on it.

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