a rainy Sunday...

 well, i was hoping to have this blog done before the Manchester derby started today. obviously, that didn't happen. United is losing right now, 1-0.

it has been raining since last night. i'm guessing the pain finally got to me and i didn't as much sleep as i simply passed out from it. good times.

the Dayton Flyers won last night at home against #6 Marquette, 71-63. considering they were down 13 more than once in the game, i was really happy Dayton found a way to win.

i did watch some of the Army vs. Navy game yesterday.

the New York Rangers lost yesterday at home to the LA Kings, 5-1. they play today at St. Louis.

Saturday Night's Main Event was great last night.

AEW Collision was ok last night.

Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night.

the Violent Femmes PBS special last night was excellent.

i'm saving the latest Joker movie for later today, most likely.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Agency and Dexter: Original Sin.

the New Orleans Saints are playing right now at home against Washington.

a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:

nothing like falling asleep at 6 in the morning...

 it seems my life basically runs in two different shifts. morning and late at night. whatever the fuck happens between those times, i'm not really sure of anymore. it seems like auto-pilot is running that show. i read something a few months ago how nocturnal people should lean into that life. so, taking a shower at 4 in the morning after getting the Christmas cards, dishes and email all done seems natural.

the New York Rangers lost last night to a shitty Chicago Blackhawks team, 2-1. 

i did catch some of the Bengals 27-20 victory over the Cowboys last night.

The Real Full Monty was very good last night.

The Voice was excellent last night. i'm hoping one of my 3 finalists win tonight.

What We Do in the Shadows was hilarious last night.

Monday Night Raw was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

i have two more Christmas cards to get out. i will hopefully do that tomorrow. have to make sure i have the right envelopes. fun times.

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

and i guess it is going to snow tomorrow as well. fuck me.

well, the Yankees just signed Max Fried. you can never have enough pitching, that's for certain.

ok, i need to get going on dinner, so that's all for me today kids...

until tomorrow...

sadly, i'm not surprised...

 so, our contractor for the kitchen remodel believed he found the right part to get the dishwasher working. of course, as soon as he tried it, it started leaking. so, he's hoping he can find the right part and if he does, he will be here on Saturday morning. mind you, everything was supposed to be done today. he did get the two small cabinets cut out and the fridge in place and running. but, the dishwasher and the vent hood still need work. i'm not going to be shocked if the vent hood doesn't happen until after Christmas. speaking of Christmas, we don't have one decoration up in the house. the longer this remodel drags on, i doubt we even put up a fucking tree. joy.

i didn't watch any of the NFL game last night. as soon as i saw the score, i knew there was no point in watching. the Raiders beat the Chargers last night, 63-21.

Big Brother: Reindeer Games was good last night.

NJPW was very good last night.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

and now some of this and that:

what a crazy few hours or so...

 so, i woke up this morning and saw that the snow started sticking last night. i knew it must have been as some fucker did some donuts in the cul-de-sac last night. i put on some coffee and got ready to watch the World Cup final. when Argentina got up 2-0, i thought for sure they were going to win the game in regulation. silly me. France scored twice in the second half (90 seconds apart) to tie the game at 2. the game went to extra time. Messi scored his second for Argentina to put them in the lead. Kylian Mbappe scored his 3rd for France to eventually send the game to penalty kicks. Argentina won the penalty kicks 4-2. this was by far the most entertaining World Cup final i think i have ever watched. and honestly, it ends the debate of who is the greatest of all time. Messi winning the World Cup trumps everything.

now let's rewind back to yesterday. i did manage to get mom's Christmas gifts wrapped. i did watch a bit of all 3 NFL games yesterday. quite the choke job from the Colts. and it was great to see the snow game last night between Buffalo and Miami.

the Dayton Flyers finally won a game outside of the UD Arena yesterday. they defeated Wyoming in Chicago, 66-49.

the New York Rangers won last night in Philadelphia, 6-3. they play tonight in Chicago.

Saturday Night Live was great last night. Cecily Strong will be missed.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be George & Tammy and Ziwe.

the New York Knicks play tonight at the Pacers.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

so, i did watch some of the New Orleans Saints game today at home against Atlanta. thankfully, the Saints did just enough to win, 21-18.

i need to do some poetry work tonight, before the Rangers game against Chicago.

i'm also planning on maybe a few surprises on Christmas, so i have a week to get all those details ironed out.

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

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

nothing but clouds...

 so, today has been a bunch of hurry up and wait. i made it to the post office this morning. it can get pretty busy in the mornings, especially around the holidays. at least they had both registers going. that made it a bit faster. but, all the Christmas cards are now out there. if you are a lucky one, you should have some mail in the next few days. after that, i went to Rite Aid to get my prescription. thankfully, there was no line there. now, for mom's dental appointment, that was an adventure. we had to go to this office building we had never been to before. thankfully, i usually insist on being early to everything. we got there with a good 15 minutes to spare. we found the office and mom had paperwork to fill out. she didn't do it online as she has been sick for so long. so, she got that filled out and then we waited. they called her back 30 minutes after her appointment time to take her x-ray and meet with the dentist. i wish i would have thought to bring pen and paper with me. i sat out in the waiting room hoping the Yankees were going to announce a signing today. still waiting on that one. mom got finished and i drove her home as i still had to eat lunch. nothing like a late lunch around 5. joy.

the New York Knicks won yesterday at home against Sacramento, 112-99. 

here are your NBA highlights from yesterday:

the season finale of The White Lotus was amazing last night.

the season finale of Let The Right One In was shocking last night.

George & Tammy was very good last night.

Ziwe was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw and part 1 of the season finale of The Voice.

the New York Rangers play at home tonight against the Devils. hopefully the boys find a way to win.

i should be on here tomorrow after Argentina takes on Croatia in the World Cup semifinals.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i'm still waiting on one package to show up to have all of mom's Christmas gifts here. Amazon keeps telling me it will be here before Christmas. considering i ordered it in November and it still hasn't shipped yet isn't giving me much confidence.

that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow.

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.

the joys of a bad back and little sleep...

 so, i did get mom to her ct scan this morning on time. i wrote 3 poems while i was in the waiting room. the scan didn't take nearly as long as she was expecting. hopefully, it comes back clean. as for the poems, i typed those up this afternoon. 

i really needed to ice my back and take a little nap. that little nap became 3 1/2 hours of sleep. the joys of McDonald's for breakfast i suppose. unless i can just snap my fingers and get this blog done in a few seconds, as well as a shower and a little workout, i won't be going to the game tonight. at least it is on television. 

great, mom just told me she has been having chest pains today, so i am definitely not going to the game tonight now. good times.

i'm sure it is just stress from the holidays and that my sister is coming down tomorrow night, etc. etc.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

i did catch a little of both football games last night as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT.

i will watch the Dayton Flyers play Southern tonight on ESPN+. given the number of old people that go, i probably don't want to enter that petri dish given the latest COVID outbreak.

i'll probably watch a little of both NFL games tonight as well. Seahawks play the Rams and Washington plays the Eagles.

my order from Topps.com that has been stuck at Fed Ex for nearly a week finally showed up today. i need to open that up and see if anything is damaged. good times.

i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow in the morning, before i do the grocery shopping. and i really want to get all the shopping done before my sister comes down tomorrow night.

that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

the eve of the eve...

 my sister made it down here this afternoon. she brought pizza with her, so that was good. of course, she also brought rain as well, so that's not so good.

Under the Grapefruit Tree: The CC Sabathia Story was very good last night. 

i did catch some of the NBA games last night. i'll probably catch a little tonight as well.

the baseball cards i ordered did show up today. 3 boxes of cards for $40. i had no clue what was coming. i was a little disappointed with the 1988 Donruss, only because i have so fucking many. the 1991 Fleer box was a good one, mostly because i don't have much of that. the last box was of 1991 Classic minor league cards. i wasn't very happy with that until i started seeing minor league cards of Pedro Martinez, Chipper Jones, Jeff Kent, Jim Thome, Carlos Delgado, etc. etc. i definitely got my money's worth from these cards.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT and AEW.

Manchester United won today over Everton, 2-0. they will now play Manchester City in the semi-finals of the League Cup. i think that's in a week or so. Cavani and Martial scored the goals for United. if they were more clinical today, they might have scored 7 or 8 goals.

i did watch a good portion of the USA vs. Finland last night in the World Juniors. the USA won 3-2. they will play Russia on Christmas night. that should be a wild one.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow. whenever it will be, it's going to be a quick one.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.
