rock bottom...

 before i get to the absolute shit show the New Orleans Saints have become... i saw last night as i was trying to go to sleep that Quincy Jones had died. being the age i am, i definitely knew who Quincy Jones was. that man probably had one of the most amazing music careers of anyone that has ever existed. for anyone younger that isn't aware, that is one rabbit hole you should definitely lose yourself in.

the New Orleans Saints lost yesterday at Carolina, 23-22. today, they (finally) fired the head coach. hopefully, they blow up everything and finally start the fuck over.

Manchester United and Chelsea played a 1-1 draw yesterday. 

the New York Rangers won yesterday at home against the Islanders, 5-2.

The Penguin was great last night. the finale is next week.

Somebody Somewhere was very good last night.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Monday Night Raw and What We Do in the Shadows.

college basketball started back up today. the Dayton Flyers play tonight at home against St. Francis (PA). Dayton is favorited by 25.5 points, so i think they should win tonight. i'll probably watch some of the game on ESPN+.

i should be on here tomorrow after i take the Highlander to the mechanic. i'm guessing the check engine light is on for the reason it has came on the last several times. there is a hose that comes loose in the engine that should never come loose. they tried to fix it the last time so it wouldn't happen again. that was i think 5 or 6 months ago. hopefully, that is it and there will be no charge.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

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.

 i didn't take a weed gummy yesterday. amazingly, i did sleep good, a few times actually. i am hoping it will be possible for me to get a little more sleep, even without the help of drugs. i still expect that most of my sleeping will come when i die.

the Yankees lost yesterday at home to Tampa Bay, 9-1. i really hope they do better this afternoon.

i watched some soccer, golf and whatever else that let me get some sleep.

i did watch the Red Scare win their TBT game yesterday. they will play next on Monday.

happy birthday to me

 i am now 48 years old. that is roughly 21 years longer than i ever wanted to live. of course, my disappointment with that has softened over the years. i did write 2 poems last night that i think are really fucking good. i made some cinnamon rolls this morning. arthritis made that a fucking adventure. but, they came out pretty good and aren't burnt. joy.

the Dayton Flyers won yesterday at home against Rhode Island, 96-62.

the last day of calm

 since tomorrow is supposed to be rainy, muggy and windy as fuck, i took today as the last day of calm. it was nice to just relax a bit and watch some soccer and unwind. of course, that only lasted for a few hours. mom had a nurse out here this afternoon. thankfully, her birthday gifts did arrive this morning. she loved the lamp and night light i got her. and we finally have some tomatoes showing up on the back porch. of course, with hail in the forecast tomorrow, i'm going to have to figure out where we can move the plants to save them. good times.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

the USWNT defeated Nigeria last night, 2-0.

the Yankees won last night against the Blue Jays, 3-2. they go for the sweep tonight.

i did watch most of the Euro 2020 games today. the best game of the day was Belgium coming from behind to beat Denmark, 2-1.

 as much as i want to believe i might have stumbled across the dream woman in the last few days, i'm also painfully aware i am 45 years old, i don't have much money, my health isn't the greatest and good shit never happens to me. so yeah, that small grain of optimism has its work cut out for it to survive in this bleak hell.

ROH was very good last night.

the New York Rangers beat the Devils yesterday, 6-3. they will try to win their 4th in a row against New Jersey later today.

the Yankees lost again to Tampa yesterday, 6-3. if they don't win today with Cole pitching, i'm not sure how long this losing streak is going to get.

one of those days where arthritis tries to steal the show...

 i love trying to fold clothes when my arthritis is raging. my fingers can't grip anything for shit. it's like i'm all thumbs. good times. my last load of laundry is in the dryer. if there was a god, i'd have my own personal morphine drip.

Monday Night Raw was good last night, for what i watched. to be honest, it wasn't much. i did see Bobby Lashley finally win the WWE Championship. that's been long overdue. other than that, i honestly was watching The Voice.

The Voice was pretty good last night.

The Investigation was excellent last night. the finale is next week.

Beartown was very good last night. i think the next few episodes are going to be crazy.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Young Rock, Kenan and The Voice.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Buffalo. hopefully, the Rangers will win tonight.

the Dayton Flyers had 20 turnovers last night. Jalen Crutcher fouled out on some of the softest fucking calls i have ever seen. and somehow, Dayton beat Saint Bonaventure 55-52. that means Dayton ends up the 7 seed in the A10 Tournament. they will face Rhode Island on Thursday. if they win that game, they will have to face VCU on Friday.

the Yankees won today over the Orioles, 4-2.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done and probably after Manchester United plays.

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

i got to bed last night around 5 AM. sure enough, i saw the clock at 6 AM. fuck me. mom woke me up around 10 because the guy from Orkin was here. so yeah, not fun. i got a little nap this afternoon while icing my back down. joy.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night. the Thunderdome was a little bit of fresh air for the most part.

Room 104 was excellent last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was very good last night.

i believe the Champions League final is tomorrow (PSG vs. Bayern Munich), so i should be on here before that match takes place.

at least we had a little sun...

we had a pop up storm hit last night. knocked out the damn power for about 10 seconds or so, you know, long enough that all the fucking clocks had to be reset, etc. i would bitch and moan, but then i saw the tornado that ripped through Nashville last night and know it could always be worse here.

i did go to the bank today. after i made that deposit, i went to Office Depot to get some better pens. the ones i got there last time fucking sucked. i did find some good pens, a new mousepad and some other shit, all for less than $20. the store is going to close on March 21st. i told mom if she wants to make a last trip, let me know.

at least i got home before the rain started again. nothing like sitting at the computer and your body just starts to fucking ache, before you even hear the rain hit the roof. joy.

Monday Night Raw started off great last night and ended hot as well. it was all the shit in the middle that i wish was much better.

The New Pope was excellent last night. the season finale is next week.

McMillion$ was great last night. that finale is next week as well.

The Voice was good last night.

enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be WWE Backstage.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against St. Louis. i'd love to see the Rangers find a way to get something out of this game tonight.

so, i see the Democrats are once again trying to steal the nomination away from Bernie Sanders. so, that just made up my mind on whom i'm voting for. i'm down for a revolution.

i should be on here early tomorrow. it will definitely be long before Dayton plays at Rhode Island tomorrow night.

i need to get the trash picked up here and next door and hopefully do it between storms.

i suppose there are worst ways to start a Sunday morning...

i didn't get to bed until 5 this morning. i got maybe 4 hours of sleep before i woke up to start following the Manchester United game.

the game wasn't on television, so i had to follow it online. United got a goal in the second half from Mason Greenwood for a 1-1 draw against Everton. oh well, they could have dropped all 3 points today i suppose. this is also why i say play the fucking kids.

the New York Rangers lost in the shootout yesterday at Anaheim, 4-3.

Navy defeated Army yesterday 31-7. i watched the first half of the game before i left to go to the basketball game.

Joe Burrow won the Heisman Trophy last night. i think everyone knew that was going to happen.

the Dayton Flyers whipped Drake last night, 78-47. i love this team when they play like this. the defense was in attack mode all night long. it makes offense so much easier when you can get some easy baskets off of turnovers.

The Shop last night was excellent.

ROH was good last night.

Bluegrass Underground was very good last night.

Saturday Night Live had some funny moments last night.

i heard back from Live Nude Poems on my poetry submission from back in November. they passed on the poems.

on the DVR tonight will be Dublin Murders, Ray Donovan, Shameless and the season finale of Watchmen. i'll be watching WWE TLC (Tables Ladders & Chairs) for most of the evening.

i'll probably help mom finish up the Christmas decorations today while the football games are on. the New Orleans Saints play tomorrow night at home against the Colts.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after mom has physical therapy.

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

don't get stuck behind meth heads in a drive-thru if you are in a hurry...

as you might imagine as the title suggests, there was a portion of my afternoon. i had to pick up my pills from the grocery store and on the way back, mom wanted lunch from McDonald's. sure enough, i got stuck behind a couple of meth addicts buying ice cream with pennies. #thelifeofapoet

Manchester United defeated Norwich yesterday, 3-1. it should have been 5-1 but for some reason, United fucking sucks at penalties this season. but, that's 2 away wins in a week. holy shit.

the New Orleans Saints defeated Arizona yesterday, 31-9. Drew Brees looked like he didn't miss any time at all. the Saints have their bye week next week, which should allow them to get healthy and start a run to the playoffs.

the New York Rangers lost to Boston last night, 7-4. i watched some of the game, but turned it off in disgust.

Axios was very good last night.

Power was fucking crazy last night. next week is the mid-season finale.

The Affair was excellent last night. the series finale is next week.

and then it started to rain...

the New York Yankees lost yesterday to Houston, 4-1. they are now trailing in the ALCS 2-1. Game 4 tonight has already been postponed, so the Yankees are now up against it. that means there will be no off day on Friday. so, the Yankees need to get some innings from their starters or this series will be over quickly.

the USMNT lost to Canada last night, 2-0. it was the first time that Canada had beaten the USA in 34 years. fuck me, it was awful. no urgency, no desire, hell, Canada should have won by 4 or 5. fucking pathetic.

and to make my night even worse, it started to fucking rain like the end of the world was happening. thunder, lightning, wind howling like a motherfucker. good times.

i guess there is something going on between C5 and C6 in my neck. good thing i was telling the nurse this for weeks before she actually decided i should get some x-rays done. so, next month i see an orthopedic doctor to examine my neck. i guess that means the physical therapy i start next week is for my carpal tunnel in my right wrist.

The Voice was very good last night.

Total Divas was pretty funny last night.

The Jim Jefferies Show was fucking hilarious last night.

i went to the bank today to make a deposit. after that, mom wanted me to get her something at McDonald's. it was kind of weird. the lady running the cash register in the drive thru had the same name as the love of my life when i was 23. and then the lady, who maybe was in her early 20's at best, that handed me the food called me sweetie. i chuckled and wondered what fucking world am i living in.

my arthritis has been fucking with me all day long. it's quite the scene when i'm in the shower and my body starts to radiate from the pain. i know one thing, my death isn't going to be pretty.

i'm going to try to be on here earlier tomorrow, but i truly have no clue when i will be on here. i get the feeling i'll be doing something for mom tomorrow. who knows, just trying to stay in the will.

hope everyone is doing good. until tomorrow kids...
