a decent night of sleep...

 i think i know the reason i got a decent night of sleep finally. i think the crack in my wall let some light in. thank you Leonard Cohen for that line. i know it was only a little over 4 hours, but it felt like a deep fucking sleep. emphasis on fucking of course.

i wrote 3 more poems last night for the book. i'm up to 20 now for the book, half way there. i'm really hoping i can get to 40 before my birthday. that would be impressive, at least to me.

the Dayton Flyers lost last night at UMass, 76-72. another awful case of playing down to their competition and paying for it. all that good work they did in the non-conference part of their season has gone to waste.

AEW Dynamite was good last night.

Inside the NFL was very good last night.

Abbott Elementary was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight.

Notre Dame plays Penn State tonight in the semifinals of the college football playoff.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the Devils. 

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

i know we're supposed to get 2 to 4 inches of snow tomorrow. joy.

that's all for me today kids. i need to go get started on dinner. meatloaf sandwiches on sourdough bread.

best of luck to all the gamblers tonight.

until tomorrow.

fight the power.

a day of pain, of course...

 my life has this uncanny ability to always swing the positive to negative and negative to even more negative with fucking ease. i'm not sure if it is because my inner child has to always be in pain. or, does my ego enjoy the suffering and rising above it. or maybe this is all i really know. happiness is fleeting. pain is real. loss is real. the sad thing is, i really want to be happy. have fun. enjoy what little life i have left. and no matter what i do to try to make sure these fairytales are possible, nothing works. this is why i have such a laid back fuck it view of life, etc. there is no point in me fucking it up more than i already have. i suppose this is my reasoning for just accepting the pain and learning how to live with it. joy.

the Yankees won last night at the Royals, 3-1, to clinch the series. they will play either Detroit or Cleveland in the ALCS.

Big Brother was good last night. Rubina got evicted. Chelsie won the first part of the final HOH. i fully expect Chelsie to win the show on Sunday.

The Old Man was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

i might watch some of Game 5 tonight between the Padres and Dodgers.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow.

i am going to try to sleep in my bed tonight. i have been sleeping in my massage chair for a month. i really need to just stretch out and relax and hopefully get some better rest. i'm hoping my bed will do the trick. my left arm has been feeling better recently, so i'm hoping i can sleep in the bed and not have the arm act up again because of arthritis or the pinched nerve. fingers crossed.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

 there was just enough rain so far today that i have been miserable. i did happen to write 2 poems last night. i will take a look at everything tonight to get ready to send some poems out.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

Manchester United lost yesterday at Crystal Palace, 4-0. to be honest, i turned the game off at 2-0 and went to go get my pills at Rite Aid. and then i went to Kroger to get mom's pills.

The Voice was excellent last night. i have no damn clue who is going home tonight.

Monday Night Raw was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, NXT and the season finale of Dark Side of the Ring.

happy i wish i could still eat chocolate day...

 happy easter to everyone that celebrates this. for the rest of us, hope you enjoy the candy. for us diabetics, well, i share in the misery. my body has decided it can no longer break down chocolate, so i have given it up. so, easter to me has now become a cruel mistress of past joy.

so, since we are on the misery tip, let me talk about Manchester United. United was fucking awful yesterday. after 15 minutes, you could tell they were completely uninterested in the game. if Brentford would have been clinical yesterday in the final third, they would have won by three or four goals. instead, Mason Mount scored late for United. and probably no sooner than i said don't fuck this up, Brentford equalized. 1-1 draw. a point that United didn't deserve at all.

the New York Rangers won yesterday at the Coyotes, 8-5. Jonathan Quick now has the most goalie wins for any American born goalie. 

the New York Yankees won last night at the Astros, 5-3. third straight come from behind win. hopefully, they will get the sweep this afternoon.

i did watch some college basketball last night. congrats to UConn and Alabama. the other half of the final four will be set today.

AEW Collision was good last night.

Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night.

ohio against the world...

 i am still buzzing from the Ohio State game last night. Ohio State defeated Notre Dame 17-14 on a TD with 1 second left in the game. Ryan Day had me all fired up in the postgame. you could tell just how pissed he was. and honestly, i don't blame him at all. how Notre Dame only had 10 guys on the field for the last two plays is beyond me. and their coach, who i love, his explanation doesn't make any sense. all in all, an instant classic. 

i did watch a ton of college football yesterday:

here are your MLS highlights from last night:

AEW Collision was excellent last night.

Manchester United won 1-0 yesterday at Burnley. what a fucking goal from Bruno.

a sunny Friday...

 today was one of those days where i would have loved to just open the windows and sleep in my chair all day. of course, that didn't happen.

i live about 4 minutes away from the Rite Aid in town. i got a text message last night that one of my prescriptions was ready. i went there this afternoon. it took me 4 minutes to drive there. i then stood in line for 40 minutes, listening to people bitch about the store. i finally got up to the window and got my pills. and the drive home took me all of 4 minutes. that pretty much sums up my afternoon.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Boston, 5-2. i think the Rangers played pretty good but ran out of gas in the third period.

Vice News Tonight had two great shows this week.

NJPW was excellent last night.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

Atlanta was fucking great last night. the series finale is next week.

and now some of this and that:

Manchester United won yesterday at Real Sociedad, 1-0. they had plenty of time to get that second goal so they would win the group in the Europa League, but they never did. and Sociedad parked the bus in the second half and made damn sure United wasn't going to score. United will find out on Monday who they will play in February for the Europa League playoffs. my gut tells me they are going to face Barcelona.

the New York Knicks play tonight on the road at the 76ers. hopefully, they will find a way to win.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning. my Saturday is going to be extremely fucking busy. between wrestling, college football, the MLS Cup final, etc, etc...

i hope everyone has a great weekend. hopefully, this will be the last weekend we ever have to change the time on our clocks.

Corey Kluber...

 so, when i saw the Yankees score last night, i think it was around the 5th inning, i noticed that Texas hadn't got a hit yet. i told mom that we might be turning over to the game soon. she asked why and i told her Corey Kluber was tossing a no-no. i watched the last 9 outs of the game. i was so fucking thrilled when he got that final out. that was the Yankees first no hitter this century. the last one they had was when David Cone threw a perfect game back in 1999. now, the last 3 times the Yankees have thrown a no hitter or perfect game in a season, they went on to win the World Series that year. i wouldn't mind if that happened again. the Yankees won last night, 2-0. they go for the series win this afternoon.

i did watch a good portion of the Lakers vs. Warriors game last night. that was easily the best of the play in games so far. 

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night.

The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.

AEW was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The United States of Al, Dark Side of the Ring and Dark Side of Football. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on Peacock.

i did hear back from Punk Noir Magazine on my recent poetry submission. they rejected the poems i sent but did ask me to send to them again sometime. i really want to be published by them, so it's back to the drawing board.

i was going to do my laundry today, but i don't think my back can take that right now. 

i get the feeling i'm going to be in my massage chair most of the day, watching sports and getting up for new ice packs out of the freezer. good times.

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

until then kids...

sometimes you wake up with a feeling...

i woke up this morning and my mind went immediately to the Manchester United game. i knew just how important it would be for everyone involved to get what was needed today to be in the Champions League next season. thankfully, United was able to get a result while playing like relative shit today. they won 2-0. i honestly thought for most of the game they were playing for a draw. but, those 3 points have them finishing the season in 3rd. Chelsea is in 4th. Leicester finishes 5th. United was 14 points behind back in January, so i am really pleased with finishing 3rd. now, the only games left for United this season are in the Europa League. i wouldn't mind if they won the damn thing again and use that momentum to roll into the next season, which starts basically in 7 damn weeks.

the New York Yankees played like shit last night and lost 9-2. they started off today behind 2-0 and i remembered how much i hate losing. thankfully, the Yankees made a comeback and then held on for a 3-2 victory today. they took 2 out of 3 from the defending world champs. i'll take it. they start a series in Philadelphia tomorrow night.

ROH was pretty good last night.

part of my latest order from Amazon.com showed up yesterday. i got some more cards in protective sleeves now. i need more though of the hard plastic ones. i have 300 soft ones coming soon. i'm afraid that might not be enough either. plus, i found some more cards from the 1980's from Reds games i went to. and one of those cards is a Barry Larkin rookie card. so yeah, i was pretty pleased when i found that one.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Perry Mason, I'll Be Gone in the Dark, Last Week Tonight, The Chi and Desus & Mero.

you know how damn long it's been since i have had 2 drinks in one evening. holy fuck, i'm looking forward to tonight.

i did watch some of the MLS games last night. both games finished 1-0. i think the knockout portion of this tournament is going to be very interesting to watch. i might watch some of the matches tonight.

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

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

insert something witty here...

the birds are attacking the suet feeder in the front yard. and by attacking, i mean like the world is soon coming to an end. it's almost comical watching it.

these are the days where misery seems to bleed into every day and the endless loop is like a hamster on a wheel. i'm more likely to fall off than ever end the chase.

i suppose i need better sleep. i just shit for the first time in 2 days. i used to always joke with my mother that you start off in diapers and end up in diapers as well.

the sun is setting on my horizon. oblivion isn't far behind...

i did watch plenty of the NBA All-Star events last night. i really can't believe they robbed Aaron Gordon again in the dunk contest.

i loved that Buddy Hield won the 3 point shootout. that's the only thing Sacramento will win this season.

here are your XFL highlights from yesterday:

ROH was pretty good last night.

i'll be watching NXT Takeover: Portland for most of the evening on WWE Network.

i will be on here tomorrow hopefully before Manchester United plays Chelsea.

the Dayton Flyers won yesterday at UMass, 71-63. you could tell right from the start that Dayton wasn't taking the game as seriously as they needed to. thankfully, their talent is good enough to overcome questionable coaching and as usual with the A10, god fucking awful officiating. Dayton plays Tuesday night at VCU.

the New York Rangers play today at home against the Boston Bruins. i would be very surprised if the Rangers won today, but would love to see them upset the best team in the NHL.

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

does the sun exist anymore?

i haven't seen the sun in days. that's not a good thing in the winter for me, as my depression seems to really enjoy the doom and gloom. i got a ton of shit around the house done this weekend. we finally took down all the Christmas shit. i helped mom vacuum the whole house. that's always a reminder of how bad my bad back really is. 15 minutes of standing and i'm in pain. joy.

i did watch both NFL games yesterday. the Texans blew a 24-0 lead over the Chiefs to lose 51-31. the Packers beat the Seahawks 28-23 in the night game.

NXT UK Takeover: Blackpool II was fantastic yesterday.
