may the fourth be with you...

 happy Star Wars day to everyone.

the New York Rangers lost to Washington last night, 6-3. i'm not pissed at the score, i'm pissed that the league didn't punish Tom Wilson for what he did to Buchnevich and Panarin. that piece of shit deserved way more than a $5,000 fine. so, when the two teams play tomorrow, i hope Wilson plays and i hope someone from the Rangers ends his fucking career.

The Voice was good last night. the live shows start next week.

Monday Night Raw was better last night. at least it's a step in the right direction.

Miz & Mrs was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, the season finale of Young Rock, NXT, Mayans M.C. and Deadliest Catch.

the Yankees start a series tonight at home against the Astros. hopefully, the Yankees beat the shit out of them.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

it rained here all morning. we got over an inch of rain. this was the house of misery for sure. thankfully, it has stopped. 

well fuck me, it has started again...

i now have trash to pick up here and next door, so that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

wear your mask.

get the shot.

hay una cierta belleza en la rabia

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

peace and chicken grease...

15 long years

it's hard to believe it's been 15 years since 9/11 happened. it fucking feels like it's been 30. what should have been a moment in the history of this country to bring us together was pissed away and manipulated to where we are more divided than ever 15 years later. there is no point in applying blame. ALL of us are at fault.

the New York Yankees kept the train rolling yesterday, winning 5-1. they are now just 3 games out of first place in the division. i never thought any of this was going to happen when they were "sellers" at the trade deadline. they have done the unthinkable, actually make me give a shit about baseball this season. they go for another sweep this afternoon.

Ohio State started off slow against Tulsa and i figured they were looking ahead to Oklahoma next week. and then the rain started and suddenly the defense was brilliant. the offense did better in the second half, but it was really the defense that carried the entire team yesterday. a nice 48-3 ass whooping.

i did watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens last night. i can see why so many people liked it. it certainly made me feel like a kid again.

i followed UFC 203 on the computer last night. i was under no delusions that CM Punk was going to win last night. i was hoping he would last longer than 2 minutes, but, shit happens. props to him for being bold enough to follow a dream when EVERYONE told him he was a fucking fool for doing so.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Lip Sync Battle, Ballers, Vice Principals, Ray Donovan, Masters of Sex and The Strain. i'll be watching WWE Backlash for most of the evening on WWE Network.

the New Orleans Saints start the season at home against an Oakland Raiders team i expect to be much better this season. hopefully not today though.

i'm projected to lose both of my fantasy football matches today, so i won't give too much of a shit while watching today.

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

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

it must have come in with the rain

so as i was watching the third rain delay of the Yankees game last night, i was mumbling about the umpires truly fucked this one up. fast forward a few hours and as an obvious penalty doesn't get called in favor of Manchester United, the bad mojo becomes obvious. so now i'm in my room trying to play music to drown out the noise from the children and my sister's friends. i don't like people when i'm normal, why the fuck on earth would people expect me to like them when i'm pissed?

the New York Yankees did win last night, 7-5. that's 6 in a row and 10 games over .500 finally. they are now 1 game out of a playoff spot. hopefully they keep the ball rolling this afternoon.

Treehouse Masters was pretty cool last night. it was a montage of different treehouses from around the world.

NJPW was excellent last night.

the USA beat Canada last night, 4-2, in a World Cup of Hockey exhibition game. the game was chippy and physical as hell. that's exactly how the USA has to play if they want to get a medal in this competition. plus, anytime you fucking beat Canada, it's a great day.

so i woke up pretty damn early this morning to watch Manchester United play. i wish the players would have done the same. United was badly outplayed by Shitty in the first half. the only reason the score was 2-1 was Shitty's goalie making a mistake that ended up in the back of the net. United made a couple changes at halftime and really played much better in the second half. but, no luck in scoring. talk about starting my weekend with a shitty taste in my mouth.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

i was hoping my sister would have had a better reaction to the coffee i got her. she mostly looked like she couldn't care less. i probably won't bother to ask if she makes it or not. i guess she'll enjoy the liquor though. i got her that as the gift from mom.

Ohio State plays Tulsa this afternoon. hopefully the damn kids are gone by then and Ohio State wins again.

i figure i will watch the college football game tonight played at the NASCAR track in Bristol, Tennessee. that should be pretty amazing.

i took mom to the chiropractor this morning. she can barely walk. i told her that she needs to call her doctor on Monday and get the fucking MRI done as quickly as possible. the two times she has gotten worse was both times after the prednisone ran out. so i'm guessing it's going to either be injections or surgery or both after the MRI. good times.

so most of this weekend i think i will be helping her.

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

step into the darkness and suddenly feel at home

i fell into my usual Christmas trap yesterday. while my mother and sister were next door, i was here by myself pondering all my failures and my loneliness on a day where no one is supposed to feel lonely. i did use that depression to get some shit done though. i finished reading a book of poetry that was great and watched a few things on the DVR. i watched that U2 concert from Paris they did a few weeks back. the recording cut off before it was over. so i did something i should have done a long time ago. i got a HBO GO account. i was able to watch what i missed in about 3 minutes after signing up. not sure how much i will use it, but that certainly came in handy.

i do have some poems swimming up in my head. whenever they fucking decide to come out of the water and make it onto the page, i'm more than ready.

i avoided most of the NBA games yesterday. i did get a good laugh though at LeBron catching the woman in the crowd calling him a crybaby. it's always funny when you see a white person get caught doing some stupid shit by a large black male.

so i got up this morning after more or less forcing myself to sleep on my right hip. i can't sleep comfortably on my left side for some fucking reason. so the 5 hours i got was more or less just block out the pain and sleep. Manchester United was playing at Stoke this morning. i knew it was going to be a tough game but LVG said it was a MUST win game. i figured he said that because he knows he's on the chopping block. so i was expecting United to come inspired and i was completely fucking wrong. they had the wind at their backs and couldn't do shit with it. 20 or so minutes in and they were down 2-0. they decided to put Rooney on at halftime and that might have worked in a different year. United more or less had one chance and of course, didn't do shit with it. this is the first time Manchester United has lost 4 games in a row in all competitions since 1961. a new manager can't get here soon enough.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

the World Juniors Hockey Tournament started today over in Finland. team USA takes on Canada later today. that should be interesting. hopefully the boys can come away with a medal this year.

i got some pretty cool t-shirts from my sister yesterday and some Batman and Star Wars stuff from my mother. both of them really enjoyed what i got them, so that made me happy.

i added a contact form to the right hand side of the blog yesterday. so if you'd rather email me than leave a comment, feel free.

my uncle might be getting out of the nursing home soon. he's hoping for Monday. from what i've heard, he's getting stronger but he's still not doing everything he should be doing. as you might notice, i come from a long line of stubborn fucks.

i will hopefully get to take a shower today and maybe watch some football as well. i have no clue if my mother and sister have something planned to do today or not. i think they know by now i really don't get up for family events.

i hope everyone had a great Christmas.

making up for lost time

my mother couldn't figure out why she felt like shit for most of yesterday. i figured it was the heat, as that really fucks with her now. well, i was partly correct. she figured out before we had some greasy ass pizza for dinner last night, she didn't take her medications yesterday morning. so, now i get to be the jackass son that has to grill her everyday around 11 am to make sure she hasn't forgot to do her daily routine. good times.

my sister's friend slept over last night. of course, i didn't know that until i found her this morning sleeping in my chair. story of my life, i swear. plenty of room in my bed and no one wants it.

mom decided to do my sister's birthday last night. i do believe my sister liked what she got. she likes wine, the Pittsburgh Steelers and pandas, so it's not hard to find her something.

the college football games were mostly blowouts yesterday except for BYU stunning Nebraska with a Hail Mary at the end of the game. i was watching that as it happened. if that's how the season is going to go, it's going to be crazy.

Notre Dame destroyed Texas last night. Texas responded like they normally do.

the New York Yankees could never get the big hit yesterday and lost, 3-2. and of course, Toronto won so their lead is back up to 1 1/2 games. the Yankees need to win today to win the series but they will have their work cut out for them as they are facing one of the best pitchers in the majors. great.

i did happen to watch the Mythbusters Star Wars special last night. it was good for what it was.

ROH was excellent last night with two championship matches. i saved that one on the DVR, so i'll probably watch it again once the Yankees start to disappoint me today.

anyone else need some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, The Strain, Ray Donovan and Masters of Sex.

the weather is supposed to be hot and humid again today. oh joy.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i imagine some of you out there are hurting from some bad beats on college football bets. it happens my friends, it happens. just think, next week you can rebound (or compound your mistakes) when the NFL starts back up.

have a great Sunday. drink too much, eat too much, learn something from someone younger and then teach that young shit how the old fucks do it.

learning how to deal with pain

i woke up this morning feeling like shit. not sick, but full of pain. and not the kind of pain that means a rush to the hospital. more like the kind of pain that goes with oncoming cold fronts and my arthritis probably getting worse. good times. so, i knew pretty damn early i wasn't going to be mowing the grass feeling like that. but, i'm 2 weeks behind on my laundry and the toilets need cleaned. so you can imagine what my afternoon has been.

my last load of laundry is in the dryer and as soon as i get this blog done i get to do some dishes. i figure what i'm really doing is keeping my mind off of the Rangers second round playoff game tonight against the Penguins. not sure if my back appreciates my brain seeking a little vacation.

the New York Yankees lost last night 4-2. the pitching, other than Tanaka, has been spotty to say the least and the offense has gone cold for the last few games. they play against Tampa tonight. i doubt i watch much of it given the Rangers game. maybe during intermissions.

i did enjoy the Star Wars episode of The Big Bang Theory last night. that did make me laugh pretty good. most of the rest of the night was spent watching hockey and basketball. that's probably what tonight will be as well.

mom went back to work today. not sure how she's doing as she hasn't called. i figure most of the day was spent showing people the scar. i'm hoping she has had a pretty good day. i figure if i can get the dishes done before she gets home, i will have at least done my part.

with that being said, that's all for me today folks. hope everyone has a great weekend in store. mine will be filled with some sports and not much sleep. i'm hoping to have a writing session at some point this weekend, maybe get a few good poems out of it.

be well. be creative. be sure to treat your inner geek on May 4th. and then be sure to treat that geek to some pussy afterwards. or dick, i know there are some women and gay men that enjoy Star Wars as well.

i'll be on here tomorrow sometime in the late afternoon. hopefully after a few victory beers.

peace and chicken grease.
