here come the storms...

 we have a wicked cold front getting ready to come through here tonight. it was in the 60's today. they just said on the weather that it won't make it to the 40's tomorrow. good times.

grocery shopping went pretty well today. my pinched nerve didn't fuck with me too much. now, when i got home and mom was still asleep... that was when my pinched nerve decided to be an asshole. but, i got all the groceries in and put away. i got mom a Pecan Snickers bar when i was in the checkout lane. i figured when i saw that she was still asleep, she would eat it for her breakfast at 4 in the afternoon.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Calgary, 2-1. if they are going to play like that the rest of the season, they will not make the playoffs.

i did watch some of both games of the First Four last night. Alabama State won with a crazy fucking ending. North Carolina beat the piss out of San Diego St.

tonight, Mount St. Mary's plays American and Xavier plays Texas.

NXT was really good last night.

 i was at the dealership for over a hour today waiting for the Highlander to get the oil changed. but, they got it done and nothing is wrong with it. so, at least that is done for now.

it does feel a little odd not going to the First Four. i will probably watch some of the games tonight on tv.

Monday Night Raw last night was excellent.

the New York Rangers whipped the shit out of the Penguins last night, defeating them 6-0. hopefully the boys saved some for Nashville tonight.

well, my brackets are dead now. Kansas lost to Arkansas, 72-71. i don't think i have ever had my final two teams not make it out of the first weekend of the tournament. DAMN.

i did watch a few MLS games last night.

a rainy start to the weekend...

 anymore, when it rains at night, my pain gets to the point where my body just shuts down. sometime between before dinner and 8 PM last night, the rain was just enough to get my arthritis raging and my body just sort of tapped out. good times. then, add in some thunder and lightning and a little alcohol, you have a coma coming soon. i know one of these days i'll drink enough that i won't wake back up. raise a glass to having something to look forward to.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.

AEW Rampage was good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty funny last night.

Painting With John was really good last night.

i did watch plenty of college basketball last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Tampa Bay. hopefully, the boys will find a way to win tonight.

i'm sure i will watch plenty of college basketball today.

i'm taking my first shot of Trulicity this afternoon. i'm hoping that goes well.

and at some point, i plan on getting the poems out today. if and when i get that done, i'll send out a second blog today with a little poetry update.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

and now, the monsoon...

we had a little over an inch of rain yesterday. we're supposed to get closer to 2 inches of rain today. joy.

i was hoping to get all my running around done before the rain started, but of course that didn't happen.

i made it to the bank and made my deposit. and then i went to get my sunglasses. they called this morning and acted like they had been there for months. i bitched the lady out and told her i called last month and was told they weren't there. so, i went and got them today since the office is going to be closed for the next 2 weeks. i waited in the waiting room for 30 minutes before i got to go in and get the sunglasses. by the time i got out, it had started raining. joy. i had to go to the grocery store to pick up my medications. that was another 30 minutes out of my life i'll never get back. after that, mom wanted me to go get lunch in town. thankfully, all the drive-thrus are still open.

i swear, it's always fucking something...

i'm pretty much over my sinus infection. i have had to take medicine only once today. that's a good sign.

The Masked Singer was good last night. sadly, the satellite fucked up and i lost 7 minutes of everything i was recording. thankfully, i didn't miss much of anything.

NXT was more of a clip show last night. it was a pretty good buildup for the next Takeover.

AEW was really fucking good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Will & Grace, Indebted, Better Things and Cake. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i'm not sure if i'm going grocery shopping tomorrow or not. fuck, i'm not sure any of the stores around here have shit anymore.

once the rain finally gets done it's supposed to get cold again. oh yeah, happy first day of Spring.

that's all for me kids. i need to go ice down a bad back.

until tomorrow...

let the madness begin

i am looking forward to the First Four games tonight. Prairie View A&M vs. Fairleigh Dickinson will hopefully be a high scoring game. Belmont vs. Temple should be an interesting game. Temple used to be in the A10, so i'm wondering how they will be greeted back in Dayton.

after i get home from the games, i figure i will watch the rest of Dayton at Colorado in the NIT, unless Dayton is getting blown out. if that happens, i'll start watching all the television i missed.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

The Voice last night was good. it was the last night of the blind auditions. now the fun truly begins.

i did type up those 10 poems i wrote yesterday late last night. i figure sometime later this week i'll try to get another round of submissions ready.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

the New York Yankees won last night. other than the injuries, they are having a pretty good spring training.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Detroit. i doubt i will get to see any of the game, so i'll watch the highlights later tonight or tomorrow morning.

i need to get the trash picked up and get a shave, shower and lunch all done before i leave in a few hours.

so, that's all for me kids.

i'll be on here tomorrow, early again i suppose.

and the survey says...

so, after going to the doctor today, the verdict is i have a partially torn left calf muscle. he ordered me 10 days worth of muscle relaxers. that should help with the nerves firing off randomly. of course, as this heals, just what my left leg needs...more scar tissue. so i'm supposed to take it easy for the next 10 days. we'll see.

i wrote 10 poems yesterday while mom was in her physical therapy session. i typed them up last night and really liked a few of them. i think that brings me to 40 poems or so for the month. i'll probably have another writing session over the holiday weekend.

the New York Yankees lost last night to the Texas Rangers, 6-4. the Yankees will have a chance to win their 9th straight series later tonight.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

Smackdown was pretty good last night.

205 Live was good last night as well.

The Voice finale was pretty good last night. i don't really care for the winner, but like i said, i wasn't surprised. i certainly wasn't surprised the two black performers finished 3rd and 4th. it is the USA in 2018 after all.

Deadliest Catch was good last night.

The Chris Gethard Show was hilarious last night.

The Jim Jefferies Show last night was fucking great.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Being Serena. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i will probably watch some of Game 7 tonight between Washington and Tampa Bay. and i'll probably watch some of Cleveland vs. Boston as well in the NBA playoffs.

the New York Rangers finally have a head coach.

i need to start thinking about dinner and probably some rest as well.

that's all for me kids.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow.

the horror of the Sunday paper

i know when i hear my mother tell me she's gone though the Sunday paper, if there was something she saw that she wants, and if the weather on Monday is nice, she will want to go shopping. sure enough, today was sunny and in the 50's.

at least we found most of what she was shopping for. plus, i think i have a new favorite at the bank i go to. and i was able to get gas before the fucking snow comes tomorrow night.

i believe i got 7 of the Sweet Sixteen correct this year in the NCAA tournament. given how fucking crazy this tournament has been, that's not too bad. of course 75 % of the Final Four i picked is already gone. oh well.

Our Cartoon President was fucking hilarious last night.

Here and Now was really good last night.

Homeland was very good last night.

the season finale of The Chi was excellent last night. it certainly did set up season 2 rather nicely as well.

Last Week Tonight was fucking hilarious as usual last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

much like what has happened for most of my life, i tried to do something good today and it completely fucking backfired. i took some spray paint to make the numbers on our mailbox be a little more clear as they were starting to fade. so, right as i began to spray, a gust of wind came along and fucked everything up. i tried to wipe the paint up, which only made shit worse. so, now i've been trying to "fix" it and finally just decided to call it fucking art. i figure next time i'm out i'll be looking for some stickers or something better than paint or markers.

hard to believe tomorrow is the first day of Spring and they are talking about accumulating snow. at least mom doesn't start back to physical therapy until Thursday. hopefully by then some of it will have melted.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

always good to wake up early and win...

when i saw Manchester United's lineup this morning, i had no idea what to think. but, after a 3-1 victory and moving up to 5th place in the league, i am a very happy boy.

the New York Rangers won last night in Minnesota 3-2. that was their 26th road victory this season. hopefully they can still win on the road in the playoffs. that might be their only hope to win it all this season. the boys next play at New Jersey on Tuesday.

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 and Joan.

i wrote 5 poems last night and typed them up this afternoon. i think they are pretty good. i'm going to try to get another round of submissions ready to go before mom has her hip replaced. i have no clue how much time i'm going to have to even write after her surgery.

i'll probably watch some college basketball today but not as much as i would have if Dayton would still be playing.

my sister seems to be really enjoying her new job.

i spent a good portion of last night listening to old Chuck Berry songs. back in my youth when i thought i was going to be a guitar god, i would listen to those songs for hours on end. rest in peace you dirty old man. you will always be remembered.

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

at least the snow didn't accumulate

i didn't sleep well last night. March Madness isn't as much fun when your team gets knocked out. i did watch some of the games late last night. if the whole tournament is going to be buzzer beaters and nail biters, this will go down as one of those all-time tournaments.

it did snow a little this morning. nothing stuck, so it was more of the snow globe effect than anything. of course, my arthritis didn't find it beautiful outside. i did notice though the ducks are back. we have two ducks that kind of hang out in the back field and the backyards of our house and my uncle's. so, i take it Spring is near.

NJPW was really good last night. next week looks like it will be even better.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Austin City Limits and ROH.

the New York Rangers play this afternoon at San Jose. hopefully they end this west coast trip with a win and 5 of the 6 points possible.

i spent most of this morning catching up on podcasts and interviews and newspaper articles i missed while watching basketball. i really enjoyed Sam Roberts interview with Lisa Ann. i highly recommend that you listen to it:

also, Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast with Tyrus was excellent.
