let the games begin...

 so, i did watch most of the opening ceremony at the Olympics today. that was epic to say the least. of course, long as fuck as well. and i can't wait to see how many people got sick because of the rain. i think they said it was the first time there was rain during the opening ceremony in 50 or 60 years.

one thing i have noticed is i don't hate this day as much as i used to when i was younger. of course, i am on a weed gummy right now, so maybe that is why i don't mind this July 26th. for those in the dark, my father would have been 78 years old today. thank god he never saw one day into his 70's.

i did watch Big Brother last night. Matt was evicted. i am really hoping this house is going to be cutthroat this season. Chelsie is the new HOH.

NJPW was good last night.

Don't Forget the Lyrics was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and AEW Rampage. i'll watch NXT Level Up tonight on Peacock.

the Yankees start a series tonight at Boston. i don't think i will watch much of it. maybe they will do better with me not watching.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i guess it depends on when i wake up and what events are on when.

of course, this will be my first time betting on the Olympics, so that should be fun.

i hope everyone has a good weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

the purge...

 so, i'm on here way later than i wanted to be, but it is for a very good reason. last night i decided to go through my stack of unpublished poems. granted, i should have done this earlier or better yet, every year, but last night was it. i think i might have retired around 300 poems last night. now, i was hoping it would stir some new poems out of me last night. that didn't happen but at least i won't have years and years of work to wade through to figure out my submissions now. that being said, i will hopefully get some poems out soon.

the New York Rangers lost last night in Montreal, 4-3, in a shootout. at least they woke up soon enough to get a point out of the game.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

i did watch both NFL games yesterday. the Steelers beat Baltimore, 17-10. Houston beat the Colts, 23-19.

AEW Collision was good last night.

on the DVR tonight will be The Curse.

the Dayton Flyers play at home in a few minutes against UMass. hopefully, Dayton will win.

the New Orleans Saints play at home today against Atlanta.

i'm sure i will watch plenty of NFL games today.

i will most likely be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the FA Cup at Wigan.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday.

of course it would be raining...

 my arthritis is raging at the moment. between the rain and more rain and more rain (we are under a flood watch until tomorrow morning) and having people try to scam me out of money, it has been a trying morning. good times.

the Yankees won last night over Boston, 14-1. it was nice to see them get back to normal again. hopefully, the boys will win again today.

Nikki Glaser: Good Clean Filth was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Westworld, The Chi and Flatbush Misdemeanors.

i'm sure i will watch some MLS games today, especially the battle between Columbus and FC Cincinnati. 

looks like Manchester United is finally adding yet another player. thank god.

the rain has just picked up again. fuck me.

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

sometimes back pain is like a...

 i will allow you to use your imagination where the fuck i was going with that title.

the grocery stores today were a little busy. i live in dumb as fuck town so usually after election day, it is pretty quiet. no one around here thinks they should have to pay taxes for good roads or schools and usually vote against anything that could actually be of benefit to them. so, when i saw the local paper today talk about a patriotic concert on September 10, 2022, i looked at mom and asked her where the fuck are we moving. because i know damn well this will become a Trump rally, Q bullshit thing that these dumb fucks in this town will love. i am really fucking sick of living in a place where mediocrity is celebrated like a victory. 

i did get some baseball cards today at Rite Aid. there was about $10 worth of cards in the $5 box i got.

the New York Rangers pissed away a 2-0 lead last night and lost at Vancouver, 3-2 in OT. nothing like going to bed pissed off.

The Voice was good last night. i can't wait for the live shows.

NXT was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Masked Singer, Alter Ego, Batwoman and AEW Dynamite.

the only good thing about the Atlanta Braves winning the World Series last night is the last time they won it, 1995, the last Yankees dynasty started the following year. i wouldn't mind history repeating itself.

i made my appointment last night to get my booster Covid shot this Friday. i had thought mom had already made her appointment, because she needs the booster, the flu shot and shingles shot, but i was wrong. so, i think she was a little pissed that i didn't make her appointment as well. oh well.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i go out to find what i couldn't find today. the prices of everything is through the fucking roof now. i got $250 worth of groceries today for $198. the same shit a few months would have cost me under $120. good times.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

happy Labor Day...

 so, i exhausted my brain last night, to the point at 3 this morning, i felt like i was dead. and of course, i was up this morning at 7.i guess 4 hours of sleep is all i can get in one sleep session.

the Yankees lost to Baltimore yesterday, 8-7. the Yankees are still playing down to their competition. fuck me. now, they start a 4 game series at home against Toronto. if they piss around in these games they'll find themselves out of a playoff spot completely.

i did catch the ending to the Notre Dame vs. Florida St. game last night. that was crazy.

i was getting updates on the AEW ppv all night long. if i would have had the $50 to spend on it, i would have. i love that Ruby Soho, Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson are now in AEW. those are the kind of surprises that makes pro wrestling fun.

Big Brother was good last night.

Billions was fucking excellent last night.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan was really good last night.

Heels was very good last night.

the USMNT played Canada to a 1-1 draw last night. for a game that the USA coach said was a MUST WIN, he certainly didn't coach like it was. he waited way too fucking long to make his substitutions. and it certainly showed when they had long spells where they couldn't generate anything. now, they have to go get a win in Honduras. good fucking luck.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i did listen to episode 359 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can listen to that by going here:

welcome to a cold morning...

 it was somewhere around 20 degrees when i went out to get the paper and feed the birds this morning. i figured i better get some food out there before it snows. 

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night. i can't wait for the Royal Rumble this weekend.

Real Time with Bill Maher last night was excellent.

Painting with John was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be WWE Backstage, ROH, Austin City Limits and Saturday Night Live.

Manchester United plays Arsenal today. given that United lost their last game, this pretty much becomes a MUST WIN game if they want to truly have a shot at the Premier League title this season.

the Dayton Flyers play today at home against Rhode Island. hopefully, they will keep up the momentum from their victory at Saint Louis.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Pittsburgh. hopefully, they can win a second game in a row tonight.

hopefully, i'll have 3 victory drinks tonight.

i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. if we do get all the snow they are predicting, i'll be on here sometime after i get the chili on.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

welcome to November...

 the wind is fucking howling today. at least the newspaper wasn't all over the street this time.

Ohio State defeated Penn State last night, 38-25. honestly, the game never felt as close as the score would indicate.

ROH was very good last night. Jonathan Gresham is the new Pure Champion now.

Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night.

i spent most of Saturday evening on the toilet. exactly how i love to spend my Halloween. and of course, it wasn't until i had my victory drink from Ohio State winning, that my stomach finally started to feel better. go figure, i guess i was born to be an alcoholic.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Our Carton President, The Good Lord Bird, the finale of The Comedy Store, the season finale of Desus & Mero, The Undoing, Last Week Tonight and Seduced: Inside The NXIVM Cult.

Manchester United and Arsenal played a 0-0 first half. hopefully, United will find a way to get all 3 points today.

the New Orleans Saints play later today at Chicago. i'd love for the Saints to find a way to win today.

i really have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. hopefully, it will be after a trip to the bank.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday will be even better.

nothing like waking up with a bad back...

i spent most of this morning with ice on my back wondering why the fuck it felt like i had a boulder or two sitting on my lower back. i think i finally passed out from the pain and slept a little. mom had to wake me up to drive her to her doctor's appointment this afternoon. i guess the ice worked.

the doctor's appointment went pretty good. there was a few traffic fuck ups near where we were, so i had to take some detours. i missed where i was supposed to turn, so i ended driving closer to the city of Dayton, actually closer to the hospital where my mother worked. once i got closer to where all the strip clubs used to be, i knew exactly where i was.

we went to Waffle House for lunch today. that seems to be the only food that doesn't fuck with my mother's stomach. we had lasagna last night from Omaha Steaks. lets just say there will never be a need to order that again.

the Yankees lost yesterday 4-2 and then lost again this afternoon, 10-5. swept by the fucking Rays. also, knocked out first place by the Rays. with Stanton, Judge and LeMahieu out, they are certainly a different team. and then add in that Britton went on the injured list this morning, Gleyber Torres injured his hamstring this afternoon and Paxton had soreness in his left forearm. fuck me. and now comes the cherry. their first game against the Mets tomorrow has been postponed since someone with the Mets tested positive for COVID-19. joy.

NXT was really fucking good last night. i can't wait for Takeover 30 this Saturday.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. i have no clue who is getting evicted tonight.

Cari & Jemele Stick To Sports was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother, Cake and Desus & Mero. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i will probably watch some of the NHL and NBA playoffs tonight. and i'm hoping to catch the NBA Draft lottery this evening, mostly because i'd love to see which teams Obi Toppin might end up going to.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

i should be on here tomorrow after i get done shopping. mom wants to go with me to the drugstore. that should be an adventure.

The Voice was pretty good last night.

Desus & Mero was hilarious last night.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Dallas. this is a game the Rangers really need to win if they want to make the playoffs.

i got the results from my ultrasound back. nothing really has changed. so, i suppose it doesn't matter that i'm losing weight. joy.

i need to go pick up the trash here and next door, so that's all for me today kids.

i should be on here tomorrow sometime in the afternoon.

one sprained ankle away from being nearly perfect...

outside of the parking fiasco at the Dayton Flyers game today (probably my own fault, i should have left earlier) i got into the arena about 15 minutes before the tip off. i was really hoping Dayton wasn't looking past UMass today, seeing that they play VCU on Tuesday. thankfully, Dayton wasn't looking ahead. and other than Obi Toppin spraining his ankle in the second half (he was in a walking boot afterwards, i'm hoping just for precautionary reasons), Dayton played about as solid as they could and have all season. they defeated UMass 88-60. and given that VCU lost today, Tuesday night could be the night Dayton drops the hammer on the A10.

i didn't get to see any of the Manchester United game this morning. i saw some highlights when i got home. they won 4-0 over Norwich. i think that was exactly what all of us was hoping for today.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

the weather has been fucking crazy so far. we're well over an inch of rain so far and the wind is blowing it fucking sideways most of the time. joy. and i know what you're thinking, here's where i'm going to bitch about my arthritis, blah blah blah.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Austin City Limits and ROH.

i'll probably watch both NFL playoff games today. the Vikings and 49ers are playing as i'm typing this. Baltimore and Tennessee play this evening.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Saint Louis. The King is back in goal tonight. hopefully, the Rangers will keep on winning.

i will be on here tomorrow in the morning. i know i need to have the blog done before noon as that is when NXT UK Takeover: Blackpool II starts.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

i had to take mom out to the drug store this morning as she forgot to put some things on the grocery list. we had $10 off that she didn't realize, so it all worked out in the end.

the New York Rangers defeated Carolina last night, 5-3. they are in Toronto tonight.

Smackdown was pretty good last night. 205 Live was the second part of the best of for the year.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

Manchester United plays later this afternoon. hopefully, they can get another victory.

today is the final four for the college football playoffs. in the first game, LSU takes on Oklahoma. in the second game, Ohio State takes on Clemson. both games should be really good.

i will probably be on here tomorrow in the morning.

i hope everyone enjoys their Saturday. call if you need bail money.

Boxing Day

as an American, Boxing Day to me has always meant plenty of soccer games from England. now that i'm older, i understand the holiday more, but i'm still all about the soccer games.

Manchester United fell behind 1-0 early today against Newcastle and i immediately thought, shit, here we go again. thankfully, today was not the same old same old. United scored 3 straight before halftime. all 3 strikers scored the goals. Anthony Martial would add a second in the second half to put United up 4-1. that would be the final score of the game. they desperately needed this victory today.

what Dec. 26th also means to me is the start of the World Juniors tournament for hockey. the tournament this year is in the Czech Republic. team USA played Canada today. the USA blew a 2 goal lead as Canada scored the next 4 goals. the USA worked their way back to even the game at 4. that lasted all of 7 seconds, as Canada scored again and eventually won the game 6-4. it's not the end of the world for the USA, but it makes the road to a gold medal that much harder. i believe they play Germany tomorrow afternoon. that's now a MUST win game.

NXT was really good last night. NXT UK was a recap of 2019 this afternoon.

i did watch plenty of NBA games yesterday.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight. i might end up doing some writing tonight. hell, i might try getting some sleep. i know, i can hear your laughter from here.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done and make a trip to the bank.

i hope everyone had a great Christmas. there was a little snow left in our neighbor's yard... so that's as close as we got to a white Christmas. i believe the high yesterday was 62. the joys of climate change.

time to get ready for this year and decade to be over soon.
