so, might as well start off with the Ohio State game for the blog today. they defeated Texas last night, 28-14, to win the Cotton Bowl. that also puts them in the national championship game against Notre Dame on January 20th in Atlanta.
a delightful trip into the dark mind of an evil genius or simply the musings of an asshole

one more win to go...

happy labor day...
i hope you had a fun, relaxing, or whatever the fuck kind of day you wanted to have on this labor day. mine has been one of relaxing, being in pain, relaxing, forcing myself to sleep, etc. i called in a couple of prescriptions i needed filled and i tried to make my eye appointment finally. i have been meaning to do that for a few months now. apathy, what a wonderful gift.
well, i guess i'll start with the Manchester United debacle. i was hoping that it would be a good game to watch. i should have turned it off at halftime, but i am a glutton for punishment. i did turn it off when Liverpool went up 3-0. this is exactly what i was fearing with bringing ETH back. now i have to stew on that loss for the next two weeks since the international break is upon us. joy.

frustration, say hello to my good friend depression...
so, i had this feeling in the back of my head that my healthcare bullshit would only get more fucking crazy today. i was right. i believe what is going on is Anthem never cancelled my old policy that was supposed to expire on Dec. 31, 2021. that is why my new insurance, that is nearly $1,000 cheaper than my old policy, isn't showing up when it should be as it started Jan. 1, 2022. so, i had requested Anthem to call me between 3 and 3:30 today so i could get all this shit figured out. mind you, i also talked to Rite-Aid and asked them to transfer my prescriptions from Kroger to the Rite Aid in the town i live in. of course, that never happened. neither did the fucking call from Anthem. so, i went back to Kroger and got in line to get my fucking pills, mostly because i would run out of these starting tomorrow. i took a GoodRx card with me, hoping it would lower the prices. the lady asked me if i had insurance and i explained to her what was going on and told her i wanted to use the GoodRx card because i need these pills. she understood and put the card into the system. that brought the prices down from $75 to less than $35. that works for me. i paid for them and thanked the lady very much. i still need to figure out the chaos going on with Anthem, but at least i have one less fucking thing to be stressed out about.
it was colder than fuck today. i believe the wind chill definitely got under 0 last night.
so, i was saddened to see that Sidney Poitier died today. one of my favorite humans to ever walk the face of the earth.

one of those damn days...
and just when i was going to start the blog today, the news hit about Neil Peart. i will admit i was never a huge fan of Rush growing up, but i knew damn well that Neil was one of the greatest drummers ever. and as a fan of music, this news hit me like a ton of bricks. rest in peace Neil, you have earned it.
Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time was excellent last night.
Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.
The Unicorn was very good last night.
Will & Grace was fucking hilarious last night.
Perfect Harmony was excellent last night.
the New York Rangers won last night over New Jersey, 6-3. Tony DeAngelo had his first career hat trick (first for a Rangers defenseman since 1982) and tied Brian Leetch's team record with 5 points in the game. The Prince had 46 saves as well. when the team plays like this, it gives me some hope that in a few years, these kids will be brilliant and playing for a Cup.
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 did listen to the latest podcast from Notsam Wrestling late last night. you can find that by going here: http://notsam.com/wrestlingpodcast/2020/1/10/what-is-going-to-happen-with-brock-thursday-notsam-thursday
unless i get up really fucking early tomorrow, i won't be on here until i get home from the Dayton Flyers game tomorrow afternoon.
Dayton plays UMass tomorrow. i was hoping mom was going to be able to go, but she's a little sick and the weather is going to be fucking crazy. i wanted her to go because Chris Wright is going into the UD Hall of Fame tomorrow. we've known Chris since he was in diapers. i played basketball with one of his older brothers. i'm really hoping Dayton gets the win tomorrow. mom will get to see the game at least, it's on NBCSN.
Manchester United plays tomorrow morning. i'd love to see them win but i have no damn clue who is even fucking healthy anymore.
hopefully, i'll get home before the football games start tomorrow.
i'm off to go ice down my back yet again and pretend i'm not in fucking pain.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
now, if i do get up early tomorrow, the last quarter of this blog will be fucking copy and pasted.
have a good one kids...
