well, my 47th birthday went pretty well, other than a few sports teams finding the time to punch me in the dick. but, in the end, i did make a little money and feel really good about how i have lined things up for today. i didn't win any money on the Powerball last night. i had the first two numbers right on one and started to dream. that quickly died. the Pizza Hut order got here way quicker than i was expecting. of course, i am a decent tipper. as for the Melts from Pizza Hut, not as bad as i was thinking it would be. not necessarily a must order item, but i can see why someone would want it. mom really surprised me with the gifts she got me. so yeah, in the grand scheme of things, i survived it. now let's move on.
i never like when my favorite teams play on my birthday. too many instances of a pissed off kid going to his room to sulk over the years. case in point, the Dayton Flyers. honestly, it felt like they thought all they had to do was just show the fuck up. now, they said all the right things after the game, but sure as hell didn't do any of that shit in the game. George Washington never trailed in the game and defeated Dayton, 76-69.
i did watch both NFL games yesterday. the Chiefs beat the Jaguars, 27-20. i made a little money on that but not as much as i wanted to with Mahomes getting injured. in the second game, the Eagles beat the shit out of the Giants, 38-7. that blew up my underdog parlay. today, the Bengals play at Buffalo and the Cowboys go to the 49ers. if all my bets hit today, i will be a very happy motherfucker tomorrow.
Saturday Night Live was fucking hilarious 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.
so, i woke up to snow this morning. i guess the forecast has changed and we're going to get more than just a coating now. we are already at a few inches. we're under a winter storm warning until tonight. joy.
Manchester United plays today at Arsenal. i would fucking love to see United pull off a stunner today.
the New York Knicks play at Toronto this evening.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:
i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
thanks again to everyone for the birthday wishes.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck war.
fuck the police.
black lives matter.
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands.
stay off the fucking streets.
get the fucking shot.
a la mierda la nieve
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
peace and chicken grease...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i always love waking up with a bad back and then nearly falling while trying to sit on the fucking toilet. in my 20's, that was due to way too much alcohol. in my 40's, it is the joy of arthritis and pain. one of these days, i'm bound to find something that will actually kill the pain before it kills me. or at least i fucking hope.
i did make it to the bank today. thankfully, there was no line in the drive-thru, so it was a pretty easy trip.
today at the World Cup, Morocco defeated Canada, 2-1. Croatia and Belgium finished 0-0. Germany defeated Costa Rica, 4-2. Japan beat Spain, 2-1. those results mean that Japan won Group E, with Spain finishing second. Germany failed to get out of the group stage for the second straight World Cup. Morocco won Group F and Croatia finished second. Belgium finished a disappointing third. Japan will play Croatia in the knockout round. Morocco will play Spain.
the Dayton Flyers won last night over Western Michigan, 67-47.
the New York Rangers won last night in Ottawa, 3-1.
the New York Knicks lost last night at home to Milwaukee, 109-103.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:
the season finale of The Masked Singer last night was really good.
Hard Knocks was pretty good last night.
AEW Dynamite was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and NJPW.
i might watch some of the NFL game tonight between Buffalo and New England.
i have to take the Highlander in tomorrow to get the oil changed and either get the front tire patched or replaced. i'm hoping that won't take forever tomorrow.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after the World Cup games are over. Ghana plays Uruguay tomorrow. South Korea takes on Portugal. Serbia faces Switzerland and Cameroon plays Brazil. tomorrow are the last games of the group stage of the World Cup.
