and it was going so good...

 i had a really good day gambling yesterday, right up until the NBA All Star game. i picked the wrong player to score 20 points and now it seems my mojo is fucked. i did make over $100 yesterday, so that was good. i will hopefully make a little money tonight, although my NHL picks today are punching me in the dick. at least i do adhere to my one rule of gambling, only wager what you are willing to lose.

i only watched a little of the NBA All Star game last night. thankfully, i didn't miss much.

the Daytona 500 yesterday was long as hell.

the USWNT defeated Japan yesterday, 1-0.

The Last of Us was excellent last night.

Last Week Tonight was fucking BRILLIANT as usual.

Your Honor was very good last night.

Murder in Big Horn was so sad once again last night. hopefully the families will get justice one day...

i had to go to Rite Aid this afternoon to get another prescription. at least they weren't busy.

i have to take mom to a dental appointment tomorrow, so i will probably be on here after that is over.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

well, i did make some money...

 i thought the Super Bowl was pretty good last night. if it wasn't for that late holding call against the Eagles, i think the game would have gone down as an instant classic. i was about 1 yard away from making twice as much as i did last night, but the Eagles wide receiver who i needed to score went out of bounds at the one. i made $70 last night. if he scored a touchdown there, i would have had another $86. i looked at my mother and just laughed, welcome to the world of gambling. the Chiefs beat the Eagles last night, 38-35.

so, i voted today...

 i filled out my absentee ballot and mailed it today. my mother did the same thing. i had to buy more forever stamps today as well.  after that, i took mom to get her flu shot. she decided to get it done at the local Rite Aid. of course, we came when the pharmacist was on break. so, we had to kill around 15 minutes. thankfully, she got back from her break on time and mom got her flu shot done pretty quickly. after that, she wanted some McDonalds. we went through the drive thru as i had no interest in eating out in this town. of course, after lunch, mom took a nap. i laughed. she does more than 1 thing in a day and she is dead tired. 

so i guess my sister is coming down tomorrow. her and mom got into last night as my sister, since she can't shop like she wants to because of the pandemic, isn't participating in Christmas this year. i know it's one of the dumbest fucking things i have heard, but, less money i have to spend then. i told mom we'll just share gifts before she gets down here for Christmas and that's that. so yeah, can't wait to see if there are some fireworks tomorrow. my sister did tell me she found some baseball and football cards where she lives. so, i know i will be making a PayPal payment to her tomorrow at some point.

the Yankees got some good pitching last night and some timely offense and defeated Tampa, 5-1. that sets up Game 5 tonight. winner goes on to the ALCS to face Houston. loser goes home. Cole will be pitching on 3 days rest for the first time in his career for the Yankees. Tampa's starter will be going on 2 days of rest.

in a little sad Yankees news today, Whitey Ford died. The Chairman of the Board was 91.

Big Brother went as i was expecting last night. Tyler was evicted. Nicole is the new HOH.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Desus & Mero was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Real Time with Bill Maher and the series finale of Room 104. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

The King signed with the Washington Capitals today. i figured this day would come. boy. it's going to be really fucking weird to see him in that sweater. as for the Rangers, they had some minor signings for the most part. the most interesting signing was defenceman Jack Johnson. they are getting him cheap, so i like that part. most of the signings are to make sure they have players for the expansion draft coming up for Seattle soon.

Game 5 of the NBA Finals is tonight as well. i'll be slightly shocked if the Lakers don't close it out tonight.

i'm going to try to be on here early tomorrow. i'd love to have the blog done before noon when Texas and Oklahoma plays.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

until tomorrow...

welcome to the weekend...

i didn't get to bed until 7 this morning. i finally finished up going through all damn near 50,000 of my baseball cards. i found a few last night that might be worth around $50 each, from the 1970's. of course, worth is a relative thing. it's whatever someone is willing to pay for it. but, considering the cards were from the Yankees, i might have a chance.

speaking of the Yankees, they won last night 4-1. the game only went 5 innings because of rain. Gerrit Cole didn't have his best stuff last night and still only gave up a solo homer for the entire 5 innings. Stanton hit a bomb in the first and Aaron Judge looked locked in. if they both can stay healthy, i like the Yankees chances this shortened season.

NXT UK was another best of last night.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Cake was really good last night.

Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Room 104. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the MLS games last night were pretty good. the knockout tournament is now upon us.

i'll probably watch some baseball and maybe some basketball tonight.

i'll be on here tomorrow after i take mom to get some soil for this planter she got. she wants to start growing tomatoes and whatever else in it. i'm not sure how she'll do out in this heat, so tomorrow will be interesting.

i had to get gas and pick up some pills today. today was sort of like my poet days in my 20's. breakfast at noon and not really awake until the afternoon. how i miss that fucking daze anymore...

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i need to go get dinner started. burgers and fries tonight.

until tomorrow kids...

so some hearing started today or something...

i'm not that much interested in the impeachment hearings, unless there is a suicide on national television or something that is something i don't already know. it's not that i don't think the asshole that thinks he's king shouldn't be impeached, he should already be in jail for a thousand different fucking things. but, that's not what happens to the rich in this country and probably never will.

i got some poetry news to pass on. i heard back from Nerve Cowboy on my poetry submission from July of 2018. they passed on the five i sent. fuck, i don't even remember writing these, that's how long ago that was. i wrote 7 poems today while mom had physical therapy. i will have plenty to choose from when i send out poems tomorrow morning.

the New York Rangers pissed away a 2-0 lead last night against the Penguins. but thankfully, the kids showed up in OT to give the Rangers a 3-2 victory.

The Voice was good last night. i really didn't have any qualms with who got sent home.

The Jim Jefferies Show was hilarious last night. the series finale is next week.

the season finale of Mr. Mercedes was excellent last night. the ending left open a season 4, though i have no clue if that is actually happening or not.

Total Divas was good last night.

WWE Backstage was good last night, right up to the end of the show. and then i nearly shit myself when CM Punk's music hit and he walked out. it's been over 5 years since he's been seen on WWE television. apparently, hell has slightly frozen over yet again.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Masked Singer, NXT, AEW, Cake and the season finale of American Horror Story.

i did watch the ending of the Kentucky vs. Evansville game last night. it's obviously going to be a fucking crazy college basketball season.

it was pretty cold here today, but thankfully no snow or ice or anything.

i should be on here tomorrow in the afternoon, hopefully after getting a slew of poems out into the world.

the rainy days are the worst...

i woke up this morning and my whole body was aching. i didn't have to look out the window to know it was fucking raining. i know, as i get older, this is only going to get worse. joy.

it's hard to believe the NFL Draft starts tonight. since the New Orleans Saints don't have a first round pick this year, i'm just interested in seeing where the Ohio State players go.

the New York Yankees were behind 5-0 last night. amazingly, they came back to win the game over the Angels, 6-5. they go for the sweep of the series tonight. of course, yet another injury as Clint Frazier is now on the injured list. that's the 15th player so far this season. just fucking crazy.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night. round 2 starts tonight.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

NXT was excellent last night, as was WWE Worlds Collide.

What We Do in the Shadows was fucking hilarious last night.

Dark Side of the Ring was about the murder of Bruiser Brody last night. i still remember watching his matches when i was a kid.

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, Life in Pieces, Better Things and the series finale of Gotham.

i'll be flipping between the NFL Draft, playoff games in the NHL and NBA, some baseball and god knows what else tonight.

i'll probably be on here tomorrow after i get back from the grocery store.

mom had the plumber out here this morning to fix our toilet. thankfully, it was an easy fix for him. i think tomorrow morning is the window guy. i don't think mom is happy at how much air gets through windows she paid about the price of a car for.

on top of everything else, it's supposed to rain like a motherfucker tonight. good times.

so today is the second day in a row my neck feels like shit. i was hoping the pill i take for the pinched nerve in my neck 3 times a day would work last night when i added a little heat on my neck. no luck. i basically had to drink alcohol last night to sleep at all. less than 5 measly hours. needless to say, i'm not going to the basketball game today.

the New York Rangers won last night in Buffalo, 6-2.

NJPW was pretty good last night.

WOW was good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was excellent last night.

2 Dope Queens was really good last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live and ROH. i'll probably watch the NBA All-Star Saturday Night events for most of the night (3 point contest, dunk contest, etc.)

the Dayton Flyers play today at home against VCU. Dayton is going to be missing Trey Landers, who hurt his shoulder in practice this week. i'll watch the game from home, but i figure VCU will probably win.

should i go out and shovel?

i believe we got a good 3 to 4 inches of snow last night. i don't really feel like going out and shoveling this morning or afternoon for that matter. so, i'm really hoping one of the neighbors and his kids feel like doing a good deed today.

when the USA got down 2-0 to Canada yesterday at the World Juniors, i was not happy. when they were down 3-1 after two periods, i was not happy. but midway through the third period, the USA finally started to play their way. they got the score even at 3 by the end of regulation. nothing happened in OT, so it was off to the shootout. when the first two guys scored for the USA, i felt like i could finally breathe. no one from Canada scored in the shootout so the USA won the game 4-3. it's a pretty big win, but they will need to defeat Finland tomorrow to get the easier draw in the quarterfinals.

Ohio State smothered USC on defense last night, causing 4 turnovers and 8 sacks. that's a good way to win. USC had nearly 200 more yards than Ohio State but could only score 7 points. that's as many points as Ohio State's defense scored. Ohio State won the Cotton Bowl 24-7. it was the final game of J.T. Barrett's Ohio State career. i believe he has every damn record for a QB in Big Ten history now.

NJPW last night was the 60 minute draw between Okada and Omega. i believe i now have all 3 matches of their epic trilogy on the DVR.

the New York Rangers lost in a shootout last night at Detroit, 3-2. at least they got a damn point out of the game. every single fucking point matters now in the season. their next game will be outdoors on New Year's Day against Buffalo.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

Manchester United plays in a little bit at home against Southampton. i'm really hoping the boys can get back to winning.

the Dayton Flyers start their A-10 season on the road today at Duquesne. i have no idea what to expect. Dayton should win today, but i wouldn't be surprised if they lost either.

i'm sure i'll probably watch some other football and basketball games today as well.

i ended up typing up 5 poems yesterday. that puts the number at 40 for this month. that's a nice round number to end on. i'll probably send out some poems the first week of January.

that's all for me kids. i hope everyone enjoys their Saturday. hopefully you're not buried in snow.

hello November

the drive to my sister's new house was much better than the drive home. they had 70 West down to one lane for a good 7 or 8 miles i think. nothing like being on the highway and crawling along at 10 mph.

my sister's Halloween party was pretty good. she lives across the street from her close friends from college, so it was a pretty laid back affair. she didn't have many kids come to the door, which i think she liked. she's in her cord cutting mode, so i hooked up some ESPN on her television for free. it was funny, when the old men of the group got back from helping the kids around, i think they appreciated that i had some sports on. i really like my sister's new home. i figure it won't be too long until she has it the way she wants it. i think we'll be back up there for Christmas. here's some photos from yesterday:

Manchester United won yesterday over Benfica, 2-0. i didn't see any of the game, but i did enjoy the alcohol. i believe they need just 1 point over their next 2 games to advance in the Champions League.

the New York Rangers scored 4 goals in the 3rd period last night to come from behind to beat Las Vegas, 6-4. of course, i don't watch and they score goals. figures.

Smackdown was pretty good last night.

205 Live was pretty good as well.

The Jim Jefferies Show was fucking hilarious last night.

Drop the Mic was pretty damn good last night.

The Voice was basically just a recap of the season so far last night. the knockouts start back up next week.

American Horror Story was fucking brilliant last night. i think there's just two episodes left for this season. i can't wait.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, You're the Worst and Total Divas. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i knew nothing about the terrorist attack yesterday in NYC until i got to my sister's house. i don't think many people understand that people do become radicalized while they are here. they don't always come here with the intent to do this shit. perhaps, if the police and federal officials did a better job of eliminating hate in this country, there wouldn't be as much of this shit. i'm happy they didn't kill the fucker though. perhaps they will actually get some information out of him.

i have absolutely no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. mom has her next round of injections into her back in the morning.

i hope everyone had a fun Halloween. enjoy the candy and the future diagnosis of diabetes.

you know things are bad if i'm drinking coffee

welcome to the 19th day of National Poetry Month. i'm in pain and feeling fucking lazy today, so please enjoy three random YouTube videos:

the New York Rangers lost game 2 last night 4-3. this didn't surprise me as it has been since 1994 that the Rangers have won the first two games of a series at home. what i didn't like was how they let Cindy get going in this series. as much as i hate the fucker, the Rangers don't have that type of player on their team. but, they are the best road team in the NHL this season. on Monday, the Rangers will get the chance to prove it.

as for the Draft Lottery last night, i can't believe a team can fail forward as much as Edmonton can. i would love to see Connor McDavid say he doesn't want to play there since it's painfully obvious the management has no fucking clue what they are doing. not that i want to see him in Toronto either. maybe everyone can relive the Eric Lindros saga all over again and this time the Rangers can win it.

the New York Yankees got some great pitching last night from Tanaka and the offense finally had someone other than A-Rod explode. a clinical 9-0 win. holy shit, two wins in a row and a series win. they go for the sweep today.

i watched a little UFC last night as well as ROH. ROH was excellent once again.

we're supposed to get some heavy rain today and thunderstorms. of course we are, i put out the trash at the farm early this morning. why wouldn't it storm...

mom wants to start going through the shit in the garage today. looks like i'll be icing my back tonight.

on the DVR tonight will be Veep, Silicon Valley, Last Week Tonight and Nurse Jackie. i'm counting down the days until Penny Dreadful comes back.

that's all for me today. the rain is starting (at least that's what my ankle is telling me) and i know mom is waiting for me to help her in the garage.

hope everyone is recovering nicely from the drunken chaos of yesterday.
