never been so happy to be wrong...

the Dayton Flyers went into Rhode Island last night and whipped the shit out of them on their senior night. Dayton won 84-57. i was laughing my ass off for most of the game, especially knowing that Rhode Island needed to win the game if they really wanted any chance of going to the NCAA Tournament. Dayton plays this Saturday at home for their senior night against George Washington. if they win, they will go 18-0 in the A10 and finish 29-2 for the regular season. what a time to be fucking alive.

NXT was really good last night.

Miz & Mrs was fucking hilarious last night.

AEW was fucking great last night.

The Masked Singer was good last night.

Vice News Tonight was excellent. i'm so happy the show is back on television again.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Young Sheldon, The Unicorn, Will & Grace, Indebted, Desus & Mero, Better Things and Cake. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

mom's doctor's appointment went well today. i didn't get the chance to write any poems, as she wanted me to go back with her. after her appointment, she had to get some bloodwork done. that went pretty quick. after that, we went to lunch at Perkins. i had a 20% off coupon that i remembered to bring with me.

Manchester United defeated Derby County 3-0 today in the FA Cup. they are now in the quarterfinals. next up this weekend will be the Manchester Derby.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Washington. i'm hoping the boys can get a win tonight, but i'm not holding my breath.

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

that's all for me kids...

until tomorrow...

always love when the windchill is below zero

when i felt the wind this morning when i went out to get the paper, i knew it was going to be a cold fucking day. sure enough...

i did type up the 12 poems i wrote yesterday. i really like a few of them. i will get my next batch of submissions ready this weekend probably.

so, part 2 of Leaving Neverland had me in tears last night. and it really cemented in my mind that there is zero chance Michael Jackson didn't do something to those kids. the Oprah Winfrey Presents: After Neverland interview after part 2 was pretty good. it wasn't just about the documentary but child sexual abuse in general. she marveled at how the director was able to show in 4 hours what she couldn't do in 216 shows on the subject. and honestly, any Michael Jackson fan that thinks he's innocent, i hope you never have any children. blind loyalty is beyond fucking stupid. and that is a disease that doesn't need to be passed on.

The Voice was pretty good last night.

Monday Night Raw was pretty crazy last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown and The Voice. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Dallas.

the New York Yankees won today over Atlanta, 5-1. it was supposed to be the spring debut of Luis Severino today, but they scratched him for rotator cuff inflammation. oh joy.

i did go and get mom money out of the ATM today. of course, that's about a 10 minute drive. then, i had to go 20 minutes back in the other direction to pick up her pills. that was about $150 right there. and then she wanted Taco Bell for lunch.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the Champions League. i'm hoping for a miracle.

the trash has already been done, so that is all for me today kids.

until tomorrow...

quick edit, i just remembered Dayton plays tomorrow night, so i will be doing the blog in the morning...

just like the old days

i needed to take mom to the bank before her doctor's appointment today. of course, the bank is in a different county, so it was going to be interesting. we got to the bank in plenty of time but it was like no one in the place had seen a check that had two numbers to the left of a comma before. it took way longer than it should have in there. i knew my only hope to get mom to her doctor's appointment on time was to take the highway. i hated doing that because of all the fucking construction around here. thankfully, i'm a great driver under pressure. and thankfully, the winds weren't crazy enough to fuck with the SUV when i was going over 80 mph. i got mom to her 2:30 appointment on time. thankfully, this doctor has his shit together and we were in and out in about 15 minutes. after that, it was off to the sports bar.

of course, the sports bar we went to didn't have the Manchester United game on. it's probably a good thing as i turned on the game at home right after United cut the lead to 2-1. Smalling scored the first goal. Lukaku tied the game at 2-2. and then, with an absolute beauty, Matic scored the game winner in the 91st minute for the 3-2 victory. that felt like the old days a bit. that's a big win before they play those cunts from Liverpool on the weekend.

i did do some poetry work this morning after my shower. i have good idea where my next 24 poems are going. that should happen in the next few days.

Our Cartoon President was fucking hilarious last night.

Homeland was excellent last night.

The Chi was great last night.

Here and Now was really good last night.

the season finale of Divorce was much better than i was expecting.

the season finale of Crashing was excellent as well.

Last Week Tonight was fucking great last night.

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 believe there is supposed to be some rain or a wintry mix moving in overnight. oh great. well, i didn't sleep worth a shit last night (thanks to a phone at 3 in the morning), might as well make it 2 for 2.

i didn't get to the phone in time as i had just fallen asleep. it felt like the phone was ringing in a dream. no message left and i checked the caller i.d. i know who it was, but i haven't heard back from her yet either. i figure it might have been a butt dial or it could have been the end of the world. not sure yet.

i'll be on here tomorrow sometime in the afternoon.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

you could see it coming from miles away...

there's a reason i said that for Dayton, playing at George Washington is like walking into a house of horrors. the Flyers haven't won there since 2009. and sure enough, coming off of a very emotional win over VCU, Dayton was incredibly flat to start the game last night. i believe at one point, GW had made 9 or 10 shots in a row to start the game and Dayton had only 1 field goal. i think the lead got up to 19 a few times. as usual, Dayton fought back, but anyone who has watched Dayton play over the last 20 years knew what was going to happen. sometimes they just dig too big of a fucking hole to climb out of. last night was one of those nights. Dayton lost 87-81. they are still the #1 seed in the A10 tournament, so hopefully they can take care of business in that. they will play the winner of La Salle vs. Davidson on March 10th for their first game in the tournament.

the Dayton women's team won the A10 tournament earlier today by beating Duquesne 70-56. the women won the regular season and the conference tournament. hopefully the men can do the same.

the New York Rangers had their asses handed to them last night by Montreal. the Rangers didn't come close to answering the physical nature that Montreal played with. and that's an easy way to piss me the fuck off. it was embarrassing to watch at times. the Rangers lost 4-1. they play tomorrow night in Tampa Bay, the start of a road trip. thank god they play better on the road.

Saturday Night Live was pretty fucking funny last night. that's the good thing when you have a dumb fuck as president, the comedy writes itself.

ROH was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Little Lies, Girls, Crashing, Last Week Tonight, Homeland, Billions and Feud: Bette & Joan.

i will be watching WWE Fastlane for most of the evening on WWE Network.

the weather was actually nice enough today that i went out and filled all the bird feeders. i figure i better do it now as it's supposed to rain the next 2 days.

if anyone might be interested in some tickets to the First Four this year, shoot me an email. we have some extra tickets that we're looking to sell. if you need more information on the First Four, go here:

i got some great FREE music this morning on NoiseTrade. i'll post the link below in the music section.

i heard back from Live Nude Poems on my recent poetry submission. they decided to pass on what i sent. i figure if i get these rejected poems published elsewhere, i'll officially have no clue what they are actually looking for.

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

for whom the bell tolls

in case you haven't figured it out by now, i am a deeply passionate sports fan. that comes off as totally weird to most people that only know me for my poetry, as someone who is creative "shouldn't" be passionate about anything other than that. i prefer to think of myself as the caveman refined. i like to drink and cuss but can also tell you about Monet, Beethoven, and Bukowski.

so, i just spent the past 10 hours or so watching trade deadline coverage for the NHL. it was a little surreal that the first move of the day was the New York Rangers trading away their captain to Tampa for their captain. now, Martin St. Louis is 10 years older than Ryan Callahan. that being said, the Rangers did trade for the 5th leading scorer in the NHL. but, they also gave up potentially 2 first round picks. i'm torn as much as i'm excited. if this gets the Rangers deeper into the playoffs than last year, great. if it doesn't bring them a cup in a few years, fuck. they will be more exciting to watch. they also made a depth move on defense that should only amount to something if there are injuries. hopefully there won't be. huge game tonight against Toronto at home. the private jet picked up Marty, so let the fun begin.

sometime around 9 i'll flip over to start watching the Dayton Flyers take on the 17th ranked team in the country. if they can win this tonight, i feel really good about their chances of going to the tournament.

not sure if i'll actually get to watch Duck Dynasty, Legit, or Ali G tonight or not. not like i sleep anymore, so who knows.

earlier today i caught little bits and pieces of the USA losing to Ukraine, 2-0 in an international friendly in the buildup for the 2014 World Cup. from what i saw, i wasn't impressed. but honestly, i didn't see enough to truly get a sense of the game. i'm sure Ukraine had much more to play for, given what is going on in their country at the moment.

i did catch The Voice last night. Blake now has the 2 best singers i have seen so far this season. hopefully he won't be stupid and pit them against each other in the battle rounds.

the 2 comedies after The Voice are pretty good. i have enjoyed both episodes so far.

that's all for now. i need to get ready to watch the Rangers pregame shit and start to digest that the captain is gone.

hope this finds everyone well. until tomorrow, probably after i wade through the mud and snow and get the birds all fed again.
