WrestleMania weekend...

 WrestleMania 41 is this weekend. since i have seen every WrestleMania, i don't plan on ending that streak anytime soon. so, plenty of the next few blogs will have enough wrestling talk to drive you mad. i totally get it if you skip all that to find the other stuff. but, if you are interested in it, enjoy.


before i get to any of that, here are your videos for this day of National Poetry Month:






Smackdown was excellent last night.






the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony was good last night. it was long as fuck, but i figured it would be.







the Yankees won last night against Tampa Bay, 1-0. hopefully, they will win again this afternoon.





Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.



i did catch some of the NBA playoffs last night.



enjoy some music:








and now some of this and that:









nothing on the DVR tonight.


the NHL and NBA playoffs really get going today.


i do plan on watching NXT Stand & Deliver this afternoon. that should go right into night 1 of WrestleMania.


i will be on here tomorrow in the morning, before Manchester United plays Wolves at home.


i hope everyone has a great Saturday.


until tomorrow kids...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck war.


fuck the police.


black lives matter.


stay healthy.


wash your fucking hands.


stay off the fucking streets.


get the fucking shot.

one of the craziest games i have ever seen...

 when Manchester United was up 2-0 at halftime yesterday, i felt pretty confident. when they were down 4-2 in extra time against Lyon (playing with 10 men), i felt horrible. then, Casemiro got fouled in the box. Bruno scored the penalty kick. then, Casemiro and Bruno made a great little passing play to Kobbie Mainoo to make it 4-4. one minute after that, Casemiro made the perfect pass to Harry Maguire to head in the winner. 3 goals in 7 minutes. holy shit. one of the craziest games i can remember. first European game to have 5 goals scored in extra time. United won 5-4 and 7-6 on aggregate. they advance to the semifinals of the Europa League.








the New York Rangers won last night at home against Tampa Bay, 4-0. that wraps up the season and Sam Rosen's 40th year as the tv broadcaster of the team. i thought it was a nice touch to announce Sam as the #1 star of the game.





the New York Yankees won last night over Tampa Bay, 6-3. hopefully, they will do that again tonight.



AEW Collision was ok last night.






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


enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher. the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony is late tonight on Peacock.


here are your 2 videos for this day of National Poetry Month:





i will probably watch some of the NBA playoffs tonight. Miami plays Atlanta and Dallas plays Memphis. winners gets the 8th seed, the losers will be playing golf soon.


you know how much i love doing a surprise load of laundry in the morning? good friday my ass.


i guess Orkin is supposed to be here at noon and mom has physical therapy at 3:15 this afternoon.


i will be on here in the morning tomorrow, before NXT starts in the afternoon.


i hope everyone has a great weekend.


until tomorrow kids...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck war.


fuck the police.

stay off the fucking streets.

welcome to the weekend...

 i was up at 6:30 this morning, in pain as usual. after i took my blood sugar, i got some ice and got in my massage chair. i think i got a good 90 minute nap in. that helped a great deal. 


the Yankees lost last night at home to the Giants, 9-1, in 6 rain soaked innings. hopefully, they will play better today.




Smackdown was very good last night.



Real Time with Bill Maher was good last night.


enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live and AEW Collision.


the New York Rangers play at Carolina today.


i do plan on watching the college hockey final tonight between Western Michigan and Boston University.


here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:





i will probably watch plenty of sports today while icing my back. i figure if i can get my spine to freeze that will limit the amount of pain the pinched nerve can do.


i will probably be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays at Newcastle.



i hope everyone has a great Saturday.


until tomorrow kids...

a cloudy Friday...

 so, i guess i really needed some sleep last night as i just completely passed out in my massage chair around 12:15. i woke up at 3:53 and was shocked. i didn't even do mom's eyes before she fell asleep. i apologized to her this morning about that. as usual, i'm guessing it was the gin.


here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:





the New York Rangers won last night at the Islanders, 9-2. they won all 4 games this season against the Islanders for the first time in over 20 years.







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


i did watch some college hockey last night.





enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









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


the Yankees play tonight at home against the Giants.


so, i wrote 2 poems yesterday while mom was doing physical therapy. i typed those up after i watched the second half of the Manchester United game.


it was 1-1 when i started watching. United took a late lead and i honestly thought they could see the game out. silly me. they gave up a goal at the death of the game, 96th minute. 2-2 in the first leg against Lyon in the Europa League. second leg will be next week at Old Trafford.





i'll probably be on here tomorrow in the morning.


i hope everyone has a great weekend.

one day i'm sure arthritis will win this war with me...

 when it rains like it has for the last couple of days, i basically know i am not going to get any good sleep. so, i basically live off of the three hours at night, a few naps here and there, etc. last night, i tried to write some poems and have that make me sleepy. after i typed up the 4 i wrote, sleep really didn't come. joy.


here are your videos for this day of National Poetry Month:





the Yankees won last night at home against Arizona, 9-7. they start a series today at the Pirates.

fan is short for fanatic

 so, the mail hasn't been delivered yet, so i might as well get the blog done as i bide my time. i really hope the cards are in the mail today. i just want to get this shit over with.


the New York Rangers pissed away two different 2 goal leads last night and lost at Anaheim in OT, 5-4. hopefully, that will be the nail in the coffin for this team. i don't want them to make the playoffs just to get swept by Washington in the first round. they play tonight at San Jose. if they lose this game, it will be time to start benching players and play the fucking kids.




i did watch some of the college basketball games last night. i went 4-0 once again. on my original bracket, i got 7 out of the elite 8 right. not bad.







Smackdown was really good last night.







Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

i will probably watch some of the college basketball games tonight.

mom is out in the living room watching Wrexham play. i'm hoping she is feeling better.


i'll probably be on here tomorrow in the morning once again. hopefully, i'll have good news to report.


i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

finally talked to a human...

 so, i finally got a hold of someone at Humana to find out about my Medicaid cards. they said the cards were mailed out on March 21st. it will take 7 to 8 days to arrive. well, they weren't in the mail today, so i'm assuming they will be in the mail tomorrow. and then i will have to cancel my Anthem insurance (there's $600 saved) and then go to Kroger to get my new insurance into the system and pick up the pills that are ready there. i found out today that my doctors do take the new insurance, so i should be good to go on my appointment on April Fools Day. i will have to make an appointment to get the blood work done on Monday. now, if the cards aren't in the mail tomorrow, i will blow my lid, be pissed beyond belief and realize the whole system will drive me to killing myself. good times.


i did watch the Yankees game yesterday. they won over the Brewers, 4-2. hopefully, this will be a good season. Austin Wells became the first catcher and first Yankee EVER to hit a lead off home run on opening day.









i did watch a good portion of the college basketball games last night. i went 4-0.







mom got sick yesterday, so she didn't go to the podiatrist. i'm not sure she's feeling much better today. it did warm up today, so we're airing out the house for a few hours. this is what i like to call trapping all the hot air in so i can't sleep worth a shit but she will be nice and warm.


enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









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


i will watch some college basketball tonight as well.


the New York Rangers play tonight at Anaheim. 


i did finally see A Complete Unknown today. i noticed it was on HULU so i watched it this afternoon. it was good.




i will most likely be on here in the morning, unless the Medicaid cards show up in the mail early tomorrow. then, i will be on here after that chaos is over.


i hope everyone has a great weekend.

wishing isn't the same as getting

 i really thought there was going to be some upsets last night in the NCAA tournament. sadly, that didn't really happen. at least, that is how i'm explaining going 11-7 on night 2.







Smackdown was very good last night.






Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be AEW Collision.


the Dayton Flyers play today at Chattanooga in the NIT.


the New York Rangers play this afternoon at home against Vancouver.


and of course, plenty of college basketball today.


i took mom to downtown Dayton yesterday to get some death certificates. i hadn't been downtown in years. but, eventually, muscle memory kicked in. after that, we got some McDonald's for lunch. 


i wrote 2 poems last night so i could send that submission out. they both were good but quite the struggle to write. joy.


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


i hope everyone has a great weekend.

my bracket still looks good...

 so, i went 14-2 yesterday on the college basketball games. hopefully, i can repeat that today.



there's where the good news ends. the USMNT lost to Panama last night, 1-0. Panama's only shot on goal went in basically at the death of the game. fuck me. simply not good enough and honestly, the team has a ways to go to even sniff success in the World Cup, eventually.







the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Toronto, 4-3.






i slept like shit last night. could never get the pinched nerve to calm down, so basically i slept in 45 minute shifts. joy.


i have to take mom to get some death certificates today. i love taking care of some legal shit that could have been dealt with nearly a decade ago.


enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









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


by this time tomorrow, the Dayton Flyers will be getting ready to play in the NIT.


so, the goal will be to get the blog done before that game tomorrow.


i think the weather is supposed to be shitty this weekend, so that will be good for watching college basketball.


i'm going to try to take a nap before i have to start driving. thankfully, it won't be a far drive.


i hope everyone has a great weekend.


best of luck with your brackets and your gambling today.

try sleeping during a tornado watch...

 i think i got close to 4 hours last night. probably a little over 3 is more likely, but i did feel like i got some sleep when i got up this morning. i got up right before the thunderstorms were going to pound us. the tornado watch has expired but we now have a high wind advisory until tomorrow morning.


the Dayton Flyers pissed away a lead late last night and lost against St. Joe's in overtime, 73-68. that means Dayton will once again miss the NCAA tournament. but, i'm guessing they will get an invite to the NIT, which i wish they would turn down as that should be beneath at this point.




Smackdown was excellent last night.



Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.



a big thank you to everyone that checked out my latest published poems:

i'm sure i will watch some soccer, college basketball and some hockey today.

i will probably be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays.



i did watch Bill Burr's new comedy special yesterday on HULU. Drop Dead Years was fucking hilarious. i highly recommend it.

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.
