finally got to turn the furnace off...

 i told mom last night that when she got up today, i would turn the furnace off and open up the house. as usual, she can't remember these conversations. so, when she finally got out of bed at 2 PM today, she was surprised the house was still closed up and i was napping in my massage chair. she thought i would just open the house this morning. i said i would have, but when i talked to you at 10 AM, you said you were cold. i just imagine what her life would be like if i didn't have any patience left.

the New York Rangers won last night at Minnesota, 3-2, in OT. 

Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage was pretty funny last night.

i did write a poem last night about the blood moon. well, sort of about it. i was hoping to write more but only the one poem came to me.

i think i figured out why i am not sleeping well these days. the pinched nerve in my left shoulder is back. must be spring soon.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight in the A10 tournament. they will play St. Joe's around 7:30 tonight on Peacock. if Dayton wins, they will advance to the semifinals tomorrow afternoon.

Manchester United won yesterday at home in the Europa League over Real Sociedad, 4-1. Bruno had a hat trick. the game had 3 penalty kicks, a red card, just about everything.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow, most likely.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

so, i got up this morning and put out some suet for the birds. hopefully, the squirrels will make the mistake of trying to eat the hot pepper suet. after that, i made some cinnamon rolls for breakfast. and then after breakfast, mom and i exchanged gifts. she got me a couple of books, some supplies for my baseball cards, a Yankees t-shirt and a nice check. she was very happy with the gifts i got her. that always makes me happy. 

i should be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays at Wolves.

 as most of you know, i had a horrible relationship with my father. So, father's day hasn't really meant anything to me since my stepfather, the first male to ever treat me with any fucking respect, died. but, today also happens to be my mother's birthday. i was hoping that thought would be the prevalent one today. but, as usual with this fucking family, mom is depressed and woe is me ever since last night. so, the breakfast i wanted to make her she doesn't want. yeah, going to be one of those days i guess. the joy of being a poet. ultimately, it is all fucking content. 

that being said, i do hope she likes the gifts i got her.

WWE Clash at the Castle yesterday was excellent.

AEW Collision was good last night.

here are your highlights from Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final:

welcome to winter...

 so, i did get to the grocery store early today and made it back home in time to watch Manchester United. more on that in a bit. i tried my best to keep the grocery bill reasonable considering the list i was given was more like a scroll. i ended up saving $41 so the total of $209 was a little more palpable. so, we are fully stocked now. i wanted to do that just in case the weather truly turns to shit in the next few days. we're only supposed to get a few inches of snow, but when that is falling and the wind is blowing 60 MPH, i know it is going to be fucking crazy. and apparently everyone else shopping today was thinking the same thing. but, at least this time Kroger had more than two checkout lanes going.

Manchester United won today over Burnley in the League Cup, 2-0.

the New York Knicks won last night at home over Golden State, 132-94. they play Toronto at home tonight.

i believe i am making nachos for dinner tonight, so i need to get to work preparing all of that. 

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

welcome to November...

 i did make a trip to the bank today. i hate that i have to drive even farther to get to a Chase bank now. oh well. after i made that deposit, i headed to Lee's because mom wanted some chicken and mac & cheese for lunch today. of course, Lee's didn't have the chicken she wanted, so i just got her the mac & cheese. thankfully, there wasn't a line at Wendy's and i know she can have the grilled chicken there. i used the bread for a sandwich for the chicken i got from Lee's. i have to have a rolodex in my head of what she can eat with her sodium restrictions at all times. if i go insane anytime soon, everyone should understand why.

Merry Christmas

 

Merry Christmas to everyone.

yesterday was one of those days that had been brewing for over 30 years. my sister and i got into it and i mean at the top of our lungs into it. she seemed clueless why i don't like the holidays. and i brought up being molested by a cousin. she acted like she has only knew about it for a few years now. so, when i told her that i told her, mom and dad in therapy when i was 13, she seemed dumbfounded. all of this came about after my mother fell again, this time in the kitchen. she was trying to walk holding on to the counter, instead of her walker, and sure enough, lost her balance and fell. she brought down a candle that was on one of those candle warmers as well. fun times. thankfully, she didn't hurt break anything on her body. she's going to be bruised and i'm pretty sure her clothes are ruined. 

just another day in the house of dysfunction.

my sister and i agreed we need to work on our communication and that brutal honesty is the only way to do so. i also informed her that i am privy to all of mom's conversations with her financial planner, so if you have questions, come to me first. mom's memory of anything anymore is fucking shot to hell.

so, before all that fun shit, i did watch The Matrix Resurrections. it was great. i loved it.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

Chillin Island was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Rampage.

i will probably watch plenty of the NBA today as well as the NFL. i do plan on watching that John Madden documentary this afternoon.

i hope everyone got some presents. i do hope what i sent the lucky few arrived long before today.

i now have to go eat some breakfast and open some gifts. 

my best to you and yours.

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

until then.

be at peace.

Feliz Navidad

the snow stayed away...

 so, i guess the snow we were supposed to get last night stayed to the south of us. i don't mind that, mostly because i didn't want to have to shovel this morning.

i did send out 5 poems this morning to Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from Cristina on those, i will pass along the verdict.

the New York Rangers won in Chicago last night, 6-2. they play tonight at home against Colorado.

NXT was really good last night.

The Voice was good last night. the 3 people i picked to make the finals a month ago did. that made me happy last night.

enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, AEW Dynamite, The Masked Singer, the season finale of Alter Ego and Hard Knocks.

Manchester United plays today at home against Young Boys in the Champions League. they have already qualified for the next round, so i am interested to see who starts the game today.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight on the road, at SMU. i would love to see Dayton win tonight. Dayton are 4 point underdogs.

i'm hoping mom has the grocery list done as i would love to get out of here soon and get the grocery shopping done.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

i should be on here tomorrow in the afternoon.

Merry Christmas...

 it snowed a little last night and it was finally cold enough that it stuck. i really can't remember the last time we had snow on Christmas.

so, i finally found out why my sister didn't want to do Christmas this year. she gave a donation to charity that was larger than the amount of money i have to my name. i told i her i was never made aware of that and she said mom knew the reason. of course, mom can't remember yesterday let alone something told to her months ago. i'm assuming my sister needed a tax write off. i got some clothing for Christmas. of course, one thing was the wrong size, so mom has to return that. joy. i think my mother enjoyed what i got her, at least she pretended well enough.

the New Orleans Saints play this afternoon at home against the Vikings. if the Saints win, they finally clinch the division. i'd love for the Saints to get a little revenge today.

tonight, the USA takes on Russia at the World Juniors. i'm really hoping the USA wins tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

i'm sure i'll watch some NBA games today, like i do pretty much every Christmas.

i hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas day.

humans always get in the way of things...

 so, mom gave me a laundry list of items to go find today. and of course, nothing matches up between the website and the actual store. i had to go to Lowe's to get most of it. just imagine how efficient a store could be if the employees actually knew where shit was... i think i was in there for almost 2 hours. i did find everything i was looking for, but fuck me that took forever. i had some gift cards to use, so that took the total under $100. after that i went to Big Lots, mostly for myself. i found some baseball cards (2020 Topps Heritage), a new Darth Vader coffee mug, a Batman figurine i didn't have, a new toothbrush and i got some Christmas cocoa for mom. i had a coupon for all of that as well. i did find a nice Juan Soto short print in the baseball cards, so that made me happy.

mom gave me money to pick up lunch on the way home. of course, she wanted fish and i wanted Arby's. thankfully, McDonald's is right across the street from Arby's. by the time i got home, not only was i hungry but completely worn out. and of course, mom is on this fucking quest to redo her closet in her bedroom, so my afternoon, while it should've been spent writing this or icing down a horrific bad back... it was spent listening to a stubborn old woman bitch about doing shit wrong, not having enough strength to use a drill, etc. etc. i'm not sure how many fucking times i have to tell her that her pride will be her downfall, but i imagine it will still be said while she is fighting death. fuck me.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

B Positive was very funny last night.

The Unicorn was excellent last night.

The Voice last night was some of the holiday numbers from the past decade or so of the show.

Cari & Jemele Won't Stick to Sports was very good last night.

the perfect day for back pain...

my back tightened up this morning and after a few hours on ice, it isn't any better. so yeah, just fucking perfect for Christmas Eve.

the Dayton Flyers won last night over Grambling State, 81-53. Ibi Watson scored a career high 30 points in his first start of the season. he was replacing an injured Jalen Crutcher, sitting out because of concussion protocol. thank god Dayton is much deeper this season than previous years.

i wrote 10 poems yesterday while mom was doing physical therapy. i think that puts me at over 50 for the month. not too shabby.

when i got home from the basketball game last night, i saw the New York Rangers score and decided i didn't need to watch the highlights. they lost to Philadelphia, 5-1.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

i didn't watch much of the NFL game last night. of course, the fucking Vikings spit the bit, losing to the Packers, 23-10. it's most likely the Saints are going to end up the 3 seed in the NFC playoffs. if that happens, they will play the Vikings in the playoffs in New Orleans.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be WWE Backstage.

i guess my sister is coming down way earlier than mom and i expected. i'm pretty sure given the pain i am in, i'm going to have to bite my tongue quite a bit for the next 48 hours or so.

i'm pretty surprised mom hasn't had me go out and get something today. maybe she didn't forget anything for her recipes this year.

i hope everyone has a great Christmas Eve.

i will be on here probably pretty early tomorrow. i don't expect anyone to need to read this blog on Christmas day. although, i'm more than happy if anyone decides to do so.

if i get a wild hair up my ass, i might have a little Christmas gift for everyone tomorrow.

that's all for me kids. until tomorrow...

i suppose i'm at the stage of life where alcohol actually fuels me. i had a couple victory drinks last night and a shot of Karate Cowboy for shits and giggles and i didn't fall asleep until well after 5 in the morning.

ROH was really good last night.

none of the college basketball games were really close last night, so hopefully there will be some close games and upsets today.

it figures, the New York Rangers would win in Toronto last night, 2-1 in OT, on the night they were officially eliminated from playoff contention.

here are some of the highlights from Trotwood Madison winning their first state championship in basketball from yesterday. they became the first team EVER in the state of Ohio to score over 3,000 points in a season.

the New York Yankees are playing their last game in Florida for spring training today. they are playing the Twins. i can't believe opening day is just a few days away.

everyone in this house is still asleep. i've been up for almost 2 hours now. it's almost been like this since i was a child. it's certainly a recipe to die young.

Merry Christmas to everyone. i hope you have a wonderful day and get things you actually want and will treasure and enjoy.

i had a pretty good and relaxing Christmas Eve.

i did watch a little bit of the game last night between Oakland and Denver. if that is the last game they play in Oakland, at least the fans went home happy.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

i'll probably watch a ton of NBA games today. that's my usual Christmas tradition.

i think my sister is going home sometime tonight. after she leaves, mom and i have to get the wreaths off the doors as they are coming tomorrow to put new doors on the house. this was basically mom's Christmas gift to herself.

i will probably be on here tomorrow in the afternoon most likely. probably after Manchester United plays on Boxing Day.

do the world a favor today, call someone who is alone and wish them a Merry Christmas.
