turning over to sleet...

 it started off as rain this morning. by the time i was driving to Rite Aid to pick up a prescription, it had turned over to sleet. at least it wasn't really causing any problems here. i know some other roads around here had crashes on them. it is that time of year again...

Rite Aid wasn't that busy. i got my prescription and some stuff mom needed and came back home. what kills me is i got a text from Rite Aid 2 hours later saying i had 2 more prescriptions to pick up. since i don't need them right now, i think those will be picked up on Monday.

the New York Rangers lost last night at Saint Louis, 5-2. 

NJPW was really good last night.

here are your NBA highlights from 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 sometime tonight on Peacock.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at Duquesne. the game is on ESPN2.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning before the Rangers play at Washington.

i guess New England has a new coach.

  

so does Alabama.

i helped mom put up a towel ring in the other bathroom here. since it didn't come with the screw to use, we had to improvise. and doing that while it is raining and arthritis is raging, joy... but, after i watched a YouTube video, i figured out what we were doing wrong and got it up pretty quickly. after that, i had a bunch of boxes to break down and put in the recycling.

i guess it is going to get really fucking cold this weekend. hope everyone stays warm.

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.

first poems of 2022...

 so, i wrote 6 poems today while mom was doing her physical therapy. i typed them up this afternoon before i went to the bank. i think they are pretty good. i would love to write some more as i want to get the first submissions of 2022 out this weekend.

so, i nearly got into an accident today. some stupid fuck decided to run a red light as i was turning into the hospital. thankfully, i was quick enough to hit the gas so the fucker missed my mom's side of the Highlander. as i told her, i'm taking it as a sign i need to start thinning the herd.

the New York Rangers defeated Edmonton last night, 4-1. that put the Rangers at the top of the league after that win. i'm really starting to think something special could be possible this season.

Manchester United lost yesterday to Wolves, 1-0. it was the first time Wolves had won a league game at Old Trafford since 1980.

both episodes of Kenan were pretty funny last night.

That's My Jam was hilarious last night.

Monday Night Raw was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT.

the bank was great today. in and out in less than 3 minutes. of course, it was funny when mom realized yesterday that she hadn't paid me yet.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done. if you see the blog early in the morning, it means my crazy ass has decided that after i get the grocery shopping done i'm going to attempt to go to the Dayton vs. VCU game tomorrow night. i'm leaning against going given i know i will be fucking tired as hell tomorrow. and we are expecting snow for Thursday. and i know if we do get that snow, i'll be the one with the shovel on Thursday.

so yeah, given that the basketball game is on TV tomorrow night, that's the more likely scenario.

i need to get the trash picked up and decide what the fuck is for dinner, 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.

stay socially distant.

get the fucking shot.

feeling poetic

i wanted to get to bed early last night as i really wanted to get some decent sleep before i had to drive mom to her physical therapy today. but of course, instead of going to sleep early, my brain was occupied on writing a poem. i got that done and went to sleep. while sitting in the waiting room today, i wrote 11 more poems. i typed up all 12 this afternoon and actually like a few of them. i should have enough now for another round of submissions before this month is over. and if i get a wild hair up my ass, i'll do that before my birthday in 4 days.

the New York Rangers won last night at home against Philadelphia, 5-1. it would be nice if that team shows up for the rest of the season. they play again on Thursday at home against Buffalo.

Smackdown was good last night. i was a little surprised they spent most of the night on the US Championship tournament. i do like Bobby Roode as the new champion though.

205 Live was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Total Divas and The X-Files. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at St. Joe's. they haven't won there in almost 18 years. hopefully, tonight is the night they can end that streak.

hopefully it's going to get a little warmer as we get closer to my birthday. this shit of the single digits for most of the day fucking sucks.

mom and i did go out to eat after her physical therapy today. she told me to think of it as my birthday meal. i would have if i would have been drinking. but, since i'm the only driver in the house now, those days are gone forever. well, at least until she dies.

i'll be on here tomorrow sometime in the afternoon.

a stormy night is good for writing...

it would be even better if the rain really didn't fuck with my arthritis like it does. i wrote 4 poems last night/this morning. if my hands would have felt better, i might have written another 10 more. i typed up the 4 this afternoon and really like them. i may do a little submission before vacation or i may just stockpile the poems for when i get back. i'm not sure yet.

Copa America Update:
the USA vs. Argentina game is massive tonight. if the USA can pull off the upset, i will be thrilled. all i really want tonight is for them to seize the opportunity they have in front of them and play their best. if that isn't enough to win, so be it. it will certainly be a good test to see where "we" are going against the #1 team in the world.

Euro 2016 Update:
Germany defeated Northern Ireland this afternoon 1-0. Poland defeated Ukraine 1-0. both of them advanced out of the group. right now, Spain leads Croatia 1-0 and Turkey leads Czech Republic 1-0. both matches are in the first half.

the storms knocked out the satellite a few times last night, so Monday Night Raw was disjointed for me as i missed nearly half of it. i did enjoy most of what i saw, mostly because of Kevin Owens and Dean Ambrose. i figured out why they had Roman Reigns lose the title on Sunday. he got suspended for 30 days for a Wellness Policy Violation. most likely, he took something he shouldn't have and pissed hot. maybe that changes Vince's opinion of him.

i did watch all of the AJ Styles interview with Stone Cold Steve Austin last night on WWE Network. i was somewhat amazed they actually mentioned TNA in the interview, as that has become the company that usually isn't named on the network. i do like that AJ loves WWE so much that he wants to work for it after he retires.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Deadliest Catch and Maya & Marty.

Croatia scored right before halftime to make their game with Spain 1-1.

the New York Yankees play at home tonight against Colorado. i won't be watching.

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

you ever wake up wishing for a lobotomy?

i woke up this morning with a headache straight from hell. the shitty thing was it went straight down into my neck, where my nerves are all fucked up. good times. it took probably 4 or 5 hours for the headache to go away. just the way i wanted to start a Monday.

the New York Rangers lost yesterday 6-4. they were down 3-0 in the blink of a fucking eye it seemed. sadly, they worked to get all the way back in the game, only to lose it late in the 3rd period to the fucking Islanders. the only positive from yesterday was Eric Staal finally scored for the Rangers. other than that, burn the fucking tape.

that loss put me into a pretty shitty mood. i was hoping for the Sunday night shows to lift me up. thankfully, they did.

Vinyl was pretty good. once again, the music was great. Girls was pretty fucking funny. Togetherness was great. it is probably the show with the closest thing to reality of what relationships are like. Shameless was awesome, as usual. Billions was really good this week, especially with another little plot twist. Last Week Tonight was once again fucking brilliant.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and Gotham. i will be watching Monday Night Raw and some stuff on WWE Network most of the night.

i did a little poetry work this morning. i think i have my next round of submissions planned. of course, if i happen to write some more before the end of the week, all of this is subject to change.

i did listen to Sam Roberts latest podcast this morning, his new one with Cathy Kelley. it's a really good listen, check it out.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i think i will be mom's chauffeur most of the day. between meetings and physical therapy and then she somehow thinks she's also going to be able to work tomorrow (i doubt it)...  i get the feeling this is when i get to be the asshole and tell her no.

it's in the 60's here today. i figure i might as well go out and feed the birds.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.
