nearly 30 years ago...

 i remember i was housesitting for a friend as they were on vacation. i stayed there that night since he had cable and i didn't out at the farm. i watched as the USA defeated Canada in the World Cup of Hockey. that was 1996. tonight, the USA has the chance to defeat Canada to win the 4 Nations Face Off. i truly hope to see another great game and hopefully, the stars and stripes finding a way to win.

somedays the back just says no...

 i think i must have turned the wrong way or something while getting out of bed. my back has been fighting me all damn day. and since i am stubborn and a glutton for punishment and love my pain tolerance, i went on with my day. that was when my lipoma decided it wanted some fucking attention today. i remembered when my doctor first diagnosed it, he told me it really is nothing unless it attaches to a nerve or wraps around something. well, guess what the fuck i was feeling today. between every step and my back was firing off pain messages and then every few seconds or so, my lipoma brushed up against a nerve ending and that was fucking fun. i'm guessing i probably looked like i was getting ready to have a stroke in the grocery store today. it never fails, every positive i take for myself or whatever, the opposite has to rear its fucking head, just because. fuck me.

here are your videos for this day of Black History Month:

the New York Rangers won last night at home against Dallas, 3-1.

the season finale of Name That Tune was good last night.

trying to find calm in stormy seas...

 there has always been a certain amount of dysfunction that comes with the holidays in my life. it never fails, no matter how i try to change anything. so, in the last few years, i have just quit trying to change it and fucking just ride the wave. i'm not sure if that is any better, but i am not in a position to analyze those things at this time. trying to maintain this blog while taking care of all of my mother's needs and thinking i can have a small business and hopefully a relationship is basically making sure i will have an early death. but, you know, put on the brave face and just get it done. that might sum up my entire adult life. 

today, i went to Rite Aid and waited 30 minutes for the prescription that they supposedly were working on when i got the other two yesterday. i don't mind the waiting since these prescriptions are free, but i know that is going to change in 12 days. my patience might be running thin come 2023. after that, i went to the local grocery store. Tuesdays are the days they take the Golden Buckeye card, which is what senior citizens can use to get a discount on their groceries. i always laugh when i get the discount as well. must be all the gray in the goatee. i'll do part two of the grocery shopping tomorrow at Kroger. i'm really trying to stock up since we have a winter storm coming Thursday night.

mom had a meeting with a social worker today. i think that was productive for her. now, i'm trying to get her laundry done while writing this blog, in hopes to have this done before the Dayton game at 7.

Monday Night Raw was very good last night.

i did catch a little of the Packers win last night over the Rams, 24-12.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at home against Alcorn State.

the New York Knicks play tonight at home against Golden State.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

the New York Rangers play tonight on the road at Pittsburgh.

i also need to pick up the trash and get that out sometime tonight. plus, i have no damn clue what i am making for dinner.

i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays.

i hope everyone is doing well.

until tomorrow kids...

welcome to the weekend...

 it was cold as fuck this morning. i went out to get the paper and with the wind blowing like someone was pissed off, it had to be in the single digits. glad i fed the birds yesterday.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both good last night.

AEW Rampage was really good last night.

Celebrity Big Brother was good last night. Carson was evicted.

Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty funny last night.

Painting With John was brilliant last night.

only thing on the DVR tonight will be Celebrity Big Brother.

i'm pretty sure i will be watching the dunk contest and three point shootout tonight as part of the NBA All Star weekend.

the Dayton Flyers play this afternoon at Saint Joseph's. hopefully the boys can keep on winning.

i'm very interested to see the matches today at WWE Elimination Chamber. this should set up some of the matches for WrestleMania.

my sister should be down here in a little bit.

i will most likely be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Leeds.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

a ton of snow and now the deep freeze...

 i believe the wind chill today has been somewhere around 0 for most of the day. i haven't bothered to go outside yet. i figure when i take the trash out, i'll check for the mail. the people that mom pays to do our driveway and sidewalks must have been here before i woke up at 7:30 this morning. i'm sure they had fun judging by the piles of snow lining the driveway. and, wouldn't you know it, the next round of shit i think starts tomorrow night. oh joy.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

The Investigation was excellent last night.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the Devils. the Devils haven't played since the end of January, so i'm hoping the Rangers jump on them early and end their losing streak.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at Rhode Island. i'm hoping Dayton shows up tonight and actually competes. too many times this season they haven't, especially on the road.

i will be on here tomorrow after i get everything done. i have to go to the bank and deposit a check and get the grocery shopping done. and i would love to have that all done before the snow comes in the late afternoon. now, the problem is going to be every other motherfucker around here will be doing the same thing. so, i'm fully expecting a fucking zoo tomorrow. good times.

thanks to everyone that checked out my latest published poem:

a howling wind and how women fall in love with me in two days...

today has been one of those days where the cynical bastard inside of me is laughing his head off. i've had 3 different women tell me they are in love with me today. mind you, none of these women have ever talked to me or even met me in person yet. i have told all 3 of them, there is no need to set yourself up for disappointment. i suppose, time will tell.

the wind has been howling since last night. it was so bad last night, i put the trash back inside the garage. thankfully, i got up early enough this morning that i got it back down to the curb in time to be picked up. we only got a dusting of snow, so that's good. but the windchill is probably in the teens or worse. good times.

the New York Rangers lost last night at Winnipeg, 4-3.

Smackdown was very good last night.

205 Live was pretty good last night as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Masked Singer, You're The Worst, Drop the Mic and the season finale of Celebrity Big Brother. i'll watch NXT and NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

bleary eyed and happy

i'll have my take on what these assholes believe will stop the next school shooting in a bit, but first i wanted to talk about the women's hockey game last night.

i watched every second of that game between the USA and Canada last night. when Canada was up 2-1 in the 3rd period, i feared that the curse was going to continue. but, when Canada had a horrific line change and the USA got a breakaway and scored, i was thrilled. and i just had a feeling that it was going to be like 1998 again. when the game got to the shootout, i really felt like the USA could pull it out. and then came one of the filthiest fucking goals i have ever seen in my life. that goal gave the USA the gold, 3-2 over Canada. and to win like that on the anniversary of the Miracle on Ice is pretty fucking cool. i believe the game got over at like 2 in the morning. i didn't get to sleep until around 5. i think my adrenaline still works at least.

Celebrity Big Brother was pretty good last night.

NXT was excellent last night. i can't wait to see where the story goes with Johnny Wrestling.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Lip Sync Battle.

i have no clue what is on the Winter Olympics tonight.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Montreal. hopefully all the guys that are on the trade block have great games so they improve their trade value.

now for my take on this crazy fucking idea of arming teachers...

it's painfully obvious that these old white guys don't know what it is like to be a student in this century or what it is to be a teacher in this century. you give the teachers guns and here is what is going to happen... first, a student will get the gun from the teacher and... or the teacher will get pissed at a student and then a moment of temporary rage takes over... nothing good will come of this, except that all the gun manufactures will make money as will the NRA. what a fucking shock. and for that asshole that runs this country to praise the NRA like he did today shows that his "listening session" with students and parents and teachers the day before was nothing but a fucking charade. he knows where his money from Russia is coming from. he has to praise the NRA or the money stops. all those fuckers know that. you want better politics in this country, get the fucking NRA out of the politics.

now off of my soapbox...

mom cancelled her physical therapy session for today. her doctor called in a prescription for her last night. i went out in the rain last night to get it. i hate driving in the rain at night. it's too tempting for me to just drive right into the oncoming lights.

we got over 2 inches of rain last night. i don't how much we're supposed to get tomorrow, but it's supposed to rain all fucking day. that should make the grocery store tons of fun.

that's all for me kids...
