no sunshine, again

 today has been one of those days where if i could have slept the entire day, i would have. but, since it is nearly impossible for me to sleep more than 3 hours at a time, i at least got a few naps in. 

yesterday, mom had some people over for an early Thanksgiving of sorts. i thought it went pretty well. the food was good. all in all, not bad.

the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at home against the Browns, 35-14.

the New York Rangers won last night at Seattle, 2-0.

Somebody Somewhere was excellent last night.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

i did catch episode 7 of Say Nothing last night. i will probably finish up the series this week.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Monday Night Raw, What We Do in the Shadows and part 1 of the Leonardo da Vinci documentary on PBS.

the USMNT plays Jamaica tonight in the second leg of the CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal. they enter the match up 1-0.

i might watch some of the NFL game tonight between the Texans and Cowboys.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i pick up my prescriptions from Kroger.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i'm guessing we're having leftovers for dinner tonight.

until tomorrow kids...

up too early on a Sunday...

 so, i went to bed last night before 3 AM. you know, trying to be a responsible human after all these years. i first saw the clock at 4:19. fuck me. i eventually got up to take a raging piss at 7:30. i know i didn't get 4 hours of sleep last night. joy. i've spent the morning making sure mom doesn't fall or do anything stupid. fun times.

the Yankees lost yesterday at Detroit, 4-0. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.

AEW Collision was ok last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Industry and Last Week Tonight.

i will probably watch some soccer today; maybe some golf and some NASCAR.

i think it is supposed to rain this afternoon, so i'm guessing i will be icing my back down for most of the afternoon.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope you have an even better Sunday.

i should be on here tomorrow in the afternoon most likely.

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

why i love pro wrestling...

 night 2 of WrestleMania 40 was awesome. when the cash in happened in the first match, i told mom it was going to be a crazy night. i absolutely love they started the main event before 10 PM. and that main event had everything. as i explained to my mother, Cody and Seth had to lose on Saturday for Cody to have a chance to win on Sunday. to see the Undertaker come back to confront The Rock was a big shock to me. but most of all, i was so damn happy that Cody won and finished the story. now, it will be very interesting to see where WWE goes from here. i have to believe this was the biggest WrestleMania of all time. 

here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:

the Yankees won yesterday at home against Toronto, 8-3. they start a series tonight at home against the Marlins.

the New York Rangers won last night at home against Montreal, 5-2. they tied their season record for wins last night.

the series finale of The Regime was crazy.

the series finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm was hilarious.

A Gentleman in Moscow was very good last night.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

here are your highlights from the NBA yesterday:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and Monday Night Raw.

i'm mostly done with my laundry. i'm hoping my clothes will dry before all the shit begins tonight.

the national championship game between UConn and Perdue is tonight.

i was stunned to see the news last night about Kentucky's coach leaving to go coach Arkansas.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to get her injection in her back.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

why i love pro wrestling...

 last night, the WWE Royal Rumble went on forever it seemed like. if i had any complaints about the show, that would be the start and end of it. when your main event starts around 11:45 and you have already been watching for nearly 5 hours... lets just say i'm no longer a spring chicken. i thought both rumble matches were good, with Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley emerging as your winners. there was way more surprises in the women's rumble this year. i thought the pitch black match was ok, as were the other singles matches. the main event was good, but the story afterwards was the best fucking storytelling WWE has done in decades. to watch Sami Zayn turn on Roman Reigns and the way the crowd popped for it, chef's kiss. the way Jey Uso walked out on his family and everything that could come from that, chef's kiss. and to be honest, a chef's kiss to the crowd last night in San Antonio, Texas for the "Fuck You Roman" chant that was louder than i think anyone expected. when this is the kickoff to the road to WrestleMania, i can't fucking wait for the next few months and what happens.

Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night.

Austin City Limits had The War on Drugs on last night. that was a fun hour of music.

Manchester United won yesterday against Reading in the FA Cup, 3-1.

the Dayton Flyers destroyed Richmond yesterday, 86-60.

the USMNT and Colombia played a 0-0 draw last night. thank god i didn't watch.

the New York Knicks lost last night at the Nets, 122-115.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Your Honor and The Last of Us.

i finished with a little more money than i started with by last night in my day of gambling. i'm hoping for better results today.

i will be watching both games today in the NFL playoffs. the Eagles play the 49ers first, then the Bengals play at Kansas City. i have the 49ers and Bengals winning today.

i'm sure i will watch some of the FA Cup action today and some college basketball. i did love watching Liverpool getting knocked out of the FA Cup this morning.

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

i'm currently running on 3 1/2 hours of sleep, so i will probably get a nap in before the football games. or at least i fucking hope i do.

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

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck war.

the day before something...

 so, my mother is back home. she still has COVID, so this will still be a bit of an adventure. but, hopefully she will be getting over it soon and whatever the fuck normal is can be back in this home. of course, that's not likely either.

the World Cup today was crazy again. the big upset today was Japan defeating Germany, 2-1. that was another holy shit result. in the other matches, Morocco and Croatia finished 0-0, Belgium defeated Canada 1-0 and Spain put on a masterclass against Costa Rica, defeating them 7-0.

the New York Rangers came from behind last night to win at the Los Angeles Kings, 5-3. that was a joy to watch. the boys play tonight in Anaheim.

The Voice was good last night.

Tales From The Territories was excellent last night.

NXT was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, The Masked Singer and Hard Knocks.

so, i did watch the Dayton Flyers today. they lost a game they could have won against Wisconsin, 43-42. the loss means they will play NC State tomorrow afternoon.

i probably need to run to the store to get some things for tomorrow as i didn't think mom would be home for Thanksgiving. i'm really hoping the local grocery store has what i am looking for.

i will try to be on here in the morning tomorrow as i am expecting plenty of chaos tomorrow.

if you are traveling for Thanksgiving, be safe. if you have no family, be happy that you can do whatever you want for the day. as for the rest of us, a little advice, politics and religion never need to be talked about, let alone on a fucking holiday.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

and now, here comes the rain...

 the grocery shopping went pretty well yesterday, other than it being hotter than shit. i did get everything on the list and had all the shopping done by 3 PM. of course, i saw the Yankees score while i was shopping. if it would have been better, i would have got the shopping done sooner. but since Gerrit Cole shit the bed, i took my sweet ass time.

the Yankees were down 6-0 before the first inning was over. i knew with Castillo pitching for Seattle, the game was essentially over. and it was. the Yankees lost, 7-3. they are off tonight and start a series in St. Louis tomorrow night.

Big Brother was good last night. i get the feeling there will be another blindside coming tonight and Nicole will be evicted.

AEW was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother, NJPW and two episodes of The Captain. i did watch NXT UK this afternoon on Peacock. it was really good.

so, mom's doctor's appointment went well today. they are going to try to change her meds a little and see if that helps to keep her from falling. the doctor also wrote a prescription for a bed alarm. that should be interesting.

i about shit my pants last night when i was going through my emails and saw that Fed Ex delivered a package to the house at 5PM. i went to the front door to look for it 8 hours later. amazingly, it was on the table by the front door. it was the box of Bowman 2022 cards i ordered. i paid $30 for the box and there was something like around $100 worth of cards in it. the box of 2022 Topps Series 2 should be here by the weekend.

i probably won't watch much of the NFL game on tonight between the Jaguars and Raiders. 

my arthritis has been raging most of the day, so my massage chair is calling me.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

trying to find the light in a dark world...

 so, i was already in a pissy mood this morning after getting up early to watch Manchester United shit the bed against Everton. and then my mood turned to sadness. i saw the news that Dwayne Haskins died this morning in Florida. 3 weeks before his 25th birthday. so damn tragic. rest in peace.

Manchester United lost at Everton, 1-0. at this rate, United is going to struggle to finish in the top 10 of the league.

ok, now some positive shit. the Yankees never had the lead yesterday against Boston until the 11th inning. of course, that was the only time they needed to have the lead. the Yankees won, 6-5 in 11 innings. Rizzo, Stanton and DJ hit home runs. Josh Donaldson had the winning single in his first game as a Yankee. hopefully, they will find a way to win this afternoon. i did see what the Yankees offered Aaron Judge. i think the offer was fair but i don't mind Aaron betting on himself and trying to get a better deal out of them. now, if he thinks he is getting the Mike Trout deal, i'd love to be smoking what he is obviously smoking.

i got some football cards at Rite Aid yesterday. there were a few decent cards in the box. i really liked the one Justin Fields rookie card in it.

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

AEW Rampage was fantastic last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty funny last night.

A Black Lady Sketch Show was fucking hilarious last night.

here are your three videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Ottawa. if the Rangers win, they will clinch a playoff spot. a win would also give them 100 points on the season and they would be tied for the division lead.

the USWNT plays a friendly today against Uzbekistan. 

i'm sure i will watch some MLS games today as well.

it did fucking snow this morning a little. nothing really stuck, at least so far.

congrats to Obi Toppin for setting his career high in points last night.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

i should be on here tomorrow by the early afternoon.

until then kids...

the Dayton Flyers won yesterday at home against Davidson, 82-76. with the win and and VCU's loss to Saint Louis, Dayton finished with the 2 seed in the upcoming A10 tournament. they will play the winner of George Washington and UMass Friday night.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Winnipeg. this the start of a 4 game road trip for them.

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

 as much as i'd love to get this fucking year over with already, there still is shit to do. i have had a productive day so far. i've been to the bank and i got my pills at Kroger. i got my new coffee maker going this morning. first time i have ever done the K cups. and it was also the first time i ever had Death Wish Coffee. i was happy that i liked it. i think the stronger caffeine is better for me actually. 

team USA defeated Slovakia last night, 3-2, at the World Juniors. i'm happy they won, but they need to play a complete 60 minutes if they are going to repeat as champions.

the series finale of Insecure was excellent last night. i am sad to see the series go, but it was a wonderful ride.

the season finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm was fucking hilarious last night.

the season finale of Hightown was really good last night. i do hope there will be a season 3.

i did like what the New Orleans Saints did in the draft last night. you can never go wrong with anybody from Ohio St. and they got a cornerback from Stanford that might be the steal of the draft. hopefully, they finish up the draft today with some more great players.
