it rained all damn night... Happy St. Patrick's Day

 i slept like shit last night. long gone are the days of the rain actually helping me to sleep. fuck. oh well, i hope everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day...

the New York Rangers won last night at home against Pittsburgh, 4-2.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

i did watch some college basketball last night and this afternoon.

NJPW was good last night.

Vice News Tonight was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Real Time with Bill Maher and Game Theory with Bomani Jones. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

i did write one poem today while mom was getting her injection for her back. 

after she got done there, we went to Perkins for lunch.

i'm hoping it will warm up this weekend, but i doubt it. i guess i'll just be inside watching basketball all weekend.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i need to go to Rite Aid at some point to pick up a prescription. 

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

black lives matter.

stay off the fucking streets.

not exactly the day i want to be sick on...

but given that the second coming of the plague has most everything closed and people stuck inside...

i did have to go out today and get some shit. i needed some Sudafed and of course the pharmacy at Kroger was all out of the strong shit. figures. i got most of everything mom had on the grocery list. and i kept it under $100.

i did send out 11 poems today; 6 to Record Magazine and 5 to Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from those places i will pass along the verdicts.

i guess i should say thank you to Tom Brady for breaking the internet this morning.

the New Orleans Saints did get Drew Brees signed today. hopefully in these next 2 years a Super Bowl win will be coming to Bourbon Street.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

The Voice last night was good.

The Plot Against America was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight.

i did record Black Panther last night, so i might end up watching that tonight.

i need to get the trash picked up, so that's all for me kids.

i'm draining snot like there's no tomorrow, so i'm coughing like i started smoking 2 cartons a day again.

good times.

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

have a good one. stay healthy.

snowing on St. Patrick's Day...

this is what it looks like out of the back door of the house right now...

and from the back window...

at least the snow isn't really sticking at the moment.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone.

i suppose it was a good thing i wasn't able to watch Manchester United yesterday. they lost to Wolves, 2-1, knocking them out of the FA Cup. now, only the pipe dream of winning the Champions League exists for the team, which means they need to really concentrate everything on finishing in the top 4 of the Premier League. joy.

the New York Rangers lost at Minnesota last night, 5-2. they got 1 point out of a possible 8 on the road trip. lose for Hughes boys. hopefully the NHL will be smart enough to "fix" the lottery and have the Rangers win it.

ROH was really good last night.

i did watch a ton of college basketball yesterday. i'll probably watch some today, seeing that it is Selection Sunday. i figure the Dayton Flyers will be in the NIT, not that it really fucking matters.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Case Against Adnan Syed, the season finale of High Maintenance, Last Week Tonight, Total Bellas, Billions, Black Monday and SMILF.

the New York Yankees beat Toronto yesterday 17-7. hopefully there will be more of that in the regular season. they are playing split squad games today against the Orioles and Phillies.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after mom's last physical therapy session.

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

Don't Drink and Drive and only fuck the ones that cough.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

i totally got the time wrong for when Manchester United was playing today, so the blog will come before the game.

we had a nice little ice storm last night. i suppose it was somewhat appropriate considering what happened last night in the NCAA tournament.

when i saw the score midway through the second half and saw that UMBC was defeating Virginia by double digits, i thought it was a mistake. i then turned to the game and holy shit. i think i watched the last 12 minutes of the game. i even had my mother turn it on in her room to watch. what i never thought i would see in my lifetime was finally happening. a 16 seed was going to beat a 1 seed. and not just any number 1 seed, but the overall number 1 seed in the entire tournament. when that final buzzer hit, i still couldn't believe it. but i am very happy to be a witness to it. this changes college basketball forever.

i went 10-6 yesterday in the tournament. i believe i was 23-9 in the first round, which is about my average anymore. i still have 12 of my sweet 16 available. usually, if i can get at least 10 of the 16 right, i'm pretty happy. anything less than that and i might as well just shred the fucking thing right there.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

NJPW was excellent last night.

High Maintenance was fucking hilarious last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live and ROH.

the New York Rangers play tonight in St. Louis. i'm not counting on the Rangers to keep their winning steak going, but with the way they are playing lately, anything is fucking possible.

most of my day today will be watching some college basketball and doing my laundry. and hopefully watching Manchester United advance in the FA Cup.

i hope everyone has a great St. Patrick's Day. don't drink and drive, unless you're really good at it. and trust me, if you drink enough, everyone is beautiful.

these Irish eyes have seen so much over the years...

happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone. i would be drinking right now, but my days of a being a lush are either behind me or still to return.

thankfully, the ice storm had already passed by this morning by the time i had to take mom to the outpatient center. we were there forever it felt like. it was only 4 hours or so in the end. i think mom is slowly coming to terms with having this operation on her hip. hopefully she's fully there by the time the surgery rolls around in early April.

i heard the news a couple days ago but today it finally hit me about the death of my friend Kerry Shank. so many memories of drinking and having too much fun came flooding back to me. that's probably another reason why i'm not drinking right now, i doubt i would stop.

Baskets was hilarious last night.

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be VICE, NJPW and Real Time with Bill Maher.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Florida. i wouldn't mind if they happened to win tonight.

Manchester United will be playing against Anderlecht in the next round of the Europa League. that's good news as Belgium is much easier travel for them than having to go to some of the other countries still involved.

most of my attention tonight will be on the Dayton Flyers game against Wichita State. Dayton is the better seed but an underdog. hopefully they use that to fuel them tonight. plus, they have plenty of big game experience on their side as well. if they can somehow pull off the win tonight, i'll be happier than a pig in shit.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i believe my sister is coming down and i also need to go to the grocery store. so, let's just say i'll try to get a blog done before the day is completely over.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i hope the green beer didn't make you sick or fuck something you'd regret.

a good day to drink yourself blind

i nearly got everything i wanted last night at the First Four. both games were very competitive and came down to the closing minutes. what i didn't get was a Michigan loss. that would have made the night perfect considering the first 3 rows in the section next to me were the parents of the Michigan players. we had seats in the front row of our section. i don't mind them, especially since my eyes are right at ass level of most people walking by. that gives my imagination plenty to do. what fucking sucks is most people don't watch or give a shit that you might be sitting there. a lady, or better yet, a cunt that was a Michigan fan put her high heels right into my big toe. not a fucking i'm sorry or excuse me or anything. mom could tell i was still pissed after the game. she asked why didn't i say anything. i told her because i was going to kill the bitch. i for once would like to be rewarded for my restraint for not killing everyone on this fucking planet. thankfully, the toe wasn't broken. it will probably bruise nicely.

congrats to Holy Cross for their first win in the tournament since 1953. as for Michigan, please remember you are a football school and nothing more.

after Waffle House, i got home in time to watch the New York Rangers win at Anaheim, 2-1. thank you Kevin Klein for that victory beer. they play at Los Angeles tonight.

Lucha Underground was great last night. for me, it is the perfect alternative to WWE.

NXT was really good as well. i watched that this morning. i can't wait to see Sami Zayn take on Shinsuke Nakamura on WrestleMania weekend. that should be fucking amazing.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be WWE Smackdown and Baskets.

when Manchester United scored first today, i had hopes that they could pull off the miracle. when Liverpool got a goal right before halftime, i knew that this was going to become shit from my nightmares. i'm not sure if LVG truly understands the embarrassment he should feel for getting knocked out of the Europa League by Liverpool. you know, just your biggest fucking rival, that's all. what killed me even more, when the asshole knew we needed goals, that clueless dipshit was bringing on defenders. if he had a decent bone in his body, he'd resign tonight. or better, kill himself. of course, his ego will keep him above it all, fucking asshole. to put the final nail in the coffin for this season, Manchester United next plays at Manchester City. fuck me.

so, as you might imagine, this isn't one of my favorite St. Patrick's Days. everything tends to taste like shit at the moment.

as for my brackets, i've already lost one sweet sixteen team, so it's basically like every year around this time.

i typed up the 6 poems i wrote the other day this afternoon. i think a couple of them are really good.

the Dayton Flyers play tomorrow against Syracuse. i'll probably get to watch most of the first half before i have to take mom to another physical therapy appointment. god willing, they will be winning while i'm not watching. it won't be an easy game, i know that for sure.

i'll be on here sometime in the afternoon, hopefully happier than i can believe. i really don't care how Dayton wins, it's March, survive and advance.

that's all for me today. i hope everyone had a better day than i did.

where does the time go

i figured i better do one of these again before the world forgets that this blog actually exists. i still am in the process of moving. most of my shit is over here. mom has procrastinated to the point where our furniture will arrive on March 23rd. we have been able to get some of the furniture over in the SUV, so it somewhat feels like a house. the weather hasn't helped much at all.

as for me personally, my shoulder is getting better. i don't feel the pinch as often these days. my right ankle is brutal right now. arthritis (at least i hope that's what it is) is killing me in that ankle. i go to the doctor in a few weeks for my 3 month checkup. that should be an interesting visit.

i am in the playoffs for fantasy hockey at the moment. of course, my team is dealing with injuries, as usual.

the New York Rangers have been playing amazing hockey without The King. to be first in the entire league is truly fucking amazing at this point.

the Dayton Flyers got totally fucking hosed by the selection committee for the NCAA tournament. they were the last team in even though there were a handful of teams that they are absolutely better than. so to turn around and play in the First Four is fucking ridiculous. to find out that if they didn't make it to the finals of the A10 tourney and they wouldn't have been in the field at all is truly fucking ridiculous. at least i'll get to see them play tomorrow. they play Boise State. if they win, they get to play Providence in Columbus on Friday. that would make 5 games in 7 days for them. all with 7 fucking players.

i did fill out a few brackets. i think i have Kentucky winning it all on most of them.

i did write my first poems since i moved. i think they are pretty good. i will get around to sending them out in a few weeks. between trying to move shit each day and take care of the cats, helping my mom and then battling a true lack of sleep, unless i'm typing at 3 in the morning, i simply have no time for submissions at this moment.

i did find it comforting that a guy down the road was cleaning his motorcycles over the weekend blasting Black Sabbath. at least not everyone on this cul-de-sac is on the verge of death.

i've had to get some new bird feeders to battle the fucking squirrels over here. these flying rats are everywhere.

the hockey games that we had tickets to are over. my sister is toying with the idea of getting some tickets for next season. the kicker though is she will be in Africa for a month. so, i doubt that we'll get tickets next season.

here are the basketball games i'll be watching in person today and tomorrow:
Manhattan vs. Hampton and Ole Miss vs. BYU
North Florida vs. Robert Morris and Boise St. vs. Dayton

seeing that the late games don't start until 9 PM each night, i'll be fucking tired beyond belief these next two days. but, as long as i get to see Dayton stick it to the selection committee and win on Wednesday, i'll be fine.

thank god i do have a DVR now. as you might imagine, i'm recording fucking everything. it's made my life much less stressful.

the series ending episode of The Jinx was fucking awesome. i saved it on the DVR as i'll watch that over and over.

once i get a little more settled and back in the swing of things, i'll take some pictures of the new place and show everyone just how fucking packed my room actually is. once i get everything up on the wall, i'll basically be the sociopath that some actually believe i am.

that's all for me today. i hope everyone is doing well. happy St. Patrick's Day to all my drunk friends out there.

i'll probably get back to doing this everyday once the baseball season starts going.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
