that didn't go how i was expecting...

 i guess i knew in the back of my mind there was always the chance the Eagles could blow out the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. i just never expected it to happen. in hindsight, i probably should have. the Eagles whipped the shit out of the Chiefs last night, 40-22. considering it was 34-0 at one point, the game was effectively over by halftime. i won 2 bets out of the 20 or so i placed for the game. thank god the largest bet i made was only $5. the halftime show was great. i think it showed just how amazing Kendrick Lamar is. the commercials were pretty good as well.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.

AEW Rampage was good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was excellent last night.

apparently, i don't sleep enough...

 i had all these plans today. i was having a good morning and was getting ready to go to the post office. i got an ice pack as i wanted to ice my back before i went. and then the plan was to come home and start my laundry. well, apparently i must have got the ice on the right spot as i fell asleep and woke up 4 hours later. holy shit. i saw the time and was stunned. of course, i was sweating, so i looked to see what the temperature was in the house. 77. oh fuck. i shut all the windows and doors and turned the air on. at least my back felt better.

so yeah, i guess tomorrow will be my busy day.

the Yankees won yesterday against the Rangers, 8-7. they start a series tonight on the road at the White Sox. these are games the Yankees have to win. the White Sox fucking suck this year.

i did watch the closing ceremony of the Olympics. it was good. and overall, i thought the Olympics were really good.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i did catch some of the NASCAR race last night. i wasn't exactly thrilled with the finish since i had money on Denny Hamlin to win the race.

i should be on here sometime tomorrow. kind of depends on if my back hijacks my day again i guess.

i need to go figure out dinner.

the dog days of summer...

 i didn't get to sleep until 5 AM this morning. so, when i got up around 10:45 AM, i was slightly shocked. i don't think i tossed and turned at all while sleeping. amazingly, my back didn't feel like shit either. amazing what a good night of wrestling will do for me.

WWE SummerSlam last night was fucking bonkers. i told my mother, if the first match goes the way i expect, this show is going to have a bit of everything. so, when Dirty Dom turned and helped Liv Morgan and they kissed after screwing Rhea Ripley, i knew this show was going to be fucking crazy. to see how it started to having Roman Reigns come back to the babyface pop that WWE has wanted him to get for over a decade now, just pure fucking perfection. hats off to HHH for making the show feel like it was a mini WrestleMania. just fucking great.

AEW Collision was good last night.

the Yankees won yesterday at home over Toronto, 8-3. hopefully, they will win the series today. they are currently down 2-0.

Manchester United lost last night against Liverpool, 3-0. thank god i didn't watch that.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother and Last Week Tonight.

i will probably just relax today and watch some sports and ice my back down a few times.

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

 i was hoping to have this done already, but, i got a couple extra hours of sleep this morning. i know i need that more than the time to finish the blog.

so, the Yankees were one strike away from winning last night. and you know if i start the sentence like that, what is coming next... their closer pissed that away and since the Yankees absolutely suck in extra innings. they managed to turn a 3-1 near victory into a 5-3 loss to the Red Sox. fuck me.

 so, i wrote another 3 poems last night. that makes 17 in the last 5 days. these were some of my darker or darkest poems as i was not in a good headspace last night. try thinking of death for nearly 17 hours and see how good you feel while trying to write. but, i did get some decent sleep after that. so, away we go.

that brings me to the Dayton Flyers game last night at Davidson. Dayton won the game 72-59. and honestly, i think they should have won by more. they will play UMass on Sunday.

AEW Dynamite was good last night.

I Can See Your Voice was hilarious last night.

i did catch the USA vs. Finland game today at the World Juniors. i was not happy when the USA went down 2-0. i was thrilled when the USA won the game 3-2. they will face Sweden on Friday for the gold medal.

what is happiness...

 my mother asked me last night if i was happy. the first thing that came out of my mouth was about as much as i am allowed. this of course started a discussion that i didn't feel like having in the middle of a college football game. given my upbringing and all the shit that came with that, happiness is a relative term. i have ever truly been happy? probably not. do i believe happiness exists? i'm sure it does. she then asked why i'm not happy. and i basically told her, any time i got to a point where i should be happy, something or someone made damn sure to bring me back down. and my most obvious example of this was the first time i ever got paid for something i wrote. the first thing my mother asked me was if i had to use my real name? that infuriated me and still does to this very day. she wasn't happy or proud or anything like that, she was more concerned on what could possibly happen to her professional career if someone connected the dots. and people wonder why i'm fucked in the head. good times.

Ohio State whipped Western Kentucky yesterday, 63-10. that's more like it. they play at Notre Dame next week.

i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. i know i need to get some bloodwork done before i have my next doctor's appointment on Friday.

 so, it looks like it is going to be nearly 30 degrees warmer here in a couple of days. i know damn well all of this ice and snow will be melted by then. i swear, the weather in Ohio is meant to make sure everyone just stays sick. the guy that does our driveway did a pretty good job yesterday. and he charged mom less than he said he was going to, which was nice as well. mom called more pills in to Kroger, so i'm waiting to make sure all those are done before i go out and get them. hell, i might as well just wait until i do the grocery shopping tomorrow.

i did watch that Ric Flair documentary on Peacock last night. it was very good.

Monday Night Raw was good last night.

i must have got just enough sun...

 i slept a little later than i wanted to this morning. i missed most of the first half of the Manchester United game. more on that later.

i did get most of what i was looking for yesterday at Menards. i've changed all the birdfeeders here to ones containing suet. so far, it seems like the birds have found the new ones i put up yesterday.

the Yankees won last night over the A's, 3-2. Aaron Judge hit his 49th home run of the season last night. that 3 run shot gave the Yankees all the runs they needed. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.

AEW Rampage was good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

so, i watched the second half of Manchester United at Southampton this morning. i wasn't thrilled with how United played. especially when Bruno scored to put United up 1-0. they basically went into a shell and defended the rest of the game. amazingly, they did win, 1-0. first road win in god knows when. i'll gladly take the 3 points. 

enjoy some music:

i need to go to Rite Aid and the local grocery store today. mom needs a few things at Rite Aid and i need to get some stuff at the grocery store so this gravy i have won't go to waste.
