it fucking rained all night last night. i got maybe 2 hours of sleep. i got 2 more hours of sleep this morning in my massage chair when i got some ice on my back. the pinched nerves in my arms certainly enjoyed the rain. i'm learning to ride the waves of pain again. fun times.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.
Celebrity Big Brother was good last night. the final three are Todrick, Miesha and Cynthia.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be NXT.
i just got my laundry done, so that was my big goal for today.
now, i need to get the trash out and figure out what is for dinner.
i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the Champions League. if not then, it will be early in the morning, before i do the grocery shopping.
it has been warm the last couple of days. that will end tonight as it is supposed to get down to 30. right now it is 56 degrees. fun times.
rest in peace to Mark Lanegan. you inspired me more than you will ever know. thanks for the music.
until tomorrow kids...

so i spent my afternoon watching Barcelona vs. Liverpool. i was hoping to really enjoy Liverpool getting knocked out of the Champions League. instead, i watched a team that Manchester United couldn't score on give up 4 fucking goals to Liverpool and lose their 3-0 lead from the first leg. the conspiracy theorist in me truly believes that Barcelona did this to truly fuck with every Manchester United fan on earth. what truly is depressing is to realize the gulf between where Liverpool are now and where Manchester United is now. fuck me.
the New York Yankees won last night over Seattle, 7-3. hopefully they can win again tonight.
here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:
The Voice was really good last night. i have no damn clue who is going home tonight.
Desus & Mero was hilarious last night.
Monday Night Raw was crazy last night. i guarantee the show was probably still being written as the show started.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Voice, The Jim Jefferies Show, Miz & Mrs. and Deadliest Catch. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i do plan on watching some of the NBA and NHL playoffs tonight, especially Game 7 between Dallas and St. Louis. if Dallas wins, the New York Rangers will be getting the Stars first round draft pick as part of the Mats Zuccarello trade. so you know who i will be rooting for tonight.
i have trash to go pick up, so that's all for me kids.
i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow...

the wind blew so damn hard last night that when i woke up this morning, everything looked dry outside. thankfully, if it ever did snow, i never saw it. i think we easily got close to 2 inches of rain yesterday.
the college basketball games last night were excellent. hopefully, the two games today, Auburn vs. Kentucky and Michigan St. vs. Duke will be as good.
Saturday Night Live was pretty good last night.
ROH was really good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be the finale of The Case Against Adnan Syed, Barry, Veep, Last Week Tonight, Billions, and the finales of Black Monday and SMILF.
the New York Rangers play this afternoon at Philadelphia. neither team is making the playoffs, so i expect a feisty game today.
the New York Yankees will try to win the series against the Orioles this afternoon.
i'll probably be flipping between those two games before the college basketball games start this afternoon.
i'll be on here tomorrow early, at least before i take mom to her doctor's appointment. she wants to go out to eat after that, so i know i won't be home until way later than i want the blog to go out. next week is crazy, to say the least. she has 3 doctor's appointments and i have to take her to her accountant on Friday to get the taxes done. i don't even want to think about all the shit i have going on on Friday until it gets here.
hard to believe this is the last day of March. time flies when the end approaches.
i hope everyone had a good Saturday. hopefully, your Sunday will be even better.
until tomorrow kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
for some damn reason, Menards has my mother's shipping address as our old farm, but the bills all come to the house. mom alerted them to this when she ordered some things from there, but of course Menards did nothing. so, mom saw last night that it was delivered to the farm. i told her we might as well drive out there, it's probably still on the fucking porch.
i can't believe the number of trees that have been cut down. they have cleared so much and wonder why it floods down at the end of the lane. the family living there now have done a pretty nice job with the house. they are running a little business there as well. the upgrades they made to the porch and summer kitchen was stuff we always wanted to do but never had the money for it. and yes, the package was right where i thought it would be. after that trip, mom wanted Taco Bell. that pretty much summed up a night in a small town.
i think i finished the 8th poem i wrote last night around 3 in the morning. i definitely hopped on a wave last night and rode the fucker to death. i typed those 8 poems up this morning. a few are really fucking good. the total brings me to more than 30 poems this month. so, that goal has been met. i think i will do some poetry submissions in early December and call it a year then. i'd like to actually trick myself into thinking i'm looking forward to Christmas this year.
my plan mostly worked yesterday. i figured if i did the grocery shopping while Manchester United was playing, they would do well. sure enough, when i got home from the store they were up 3-0. they eventually won the game over Watford 4-2. that cuts the deficit in the league back down to 5 points. hopefully City will fuck up today and leave it there.
the grocery store wasn't nearly as crowded as i thought it was going to be yesterday. i was able to find everything on the list. i had to restock the freezer, but i was able to keep the bill under $140.
the New York Rangers lost last night to Florida 5-4. they were in a 3-0 hole after the first period. i guess when you grind your goalie into the ground with so many damn starts in a row, it's bound to happen. but, the Rangers also have had a shitty tendency this season to start games sometime around the second period. it's not a way to have a successful season, i know that much. the Rangers got back into the game, eventually tying the game at 4-4. they should have had the lead by then, but the replay officials in Toronto have no damn clue what goalie interference actually is. Florida scored late in the 3rd to win the game 5-4. i would have loved for the Rangers to at least get a point out of that game. the division is going to be fucking crazy this season and every single fucking point will matter.
Smackdown was pretty good last night. i do love where they are going with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.
205 Live was pretty good last night as well.
Drop the Mic was really fucking good last night.
The Voice was its usual travesty last night. what happens nearly every fucking season on this show is some lousy fucking country singer will stay and some black soul singer will be voted off. it never fails.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Total Divas and Bruno Mars: 24K Magic Live at the Apollo. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
mom and i are going to the Dayton Flyers vs. Auburn game tonight. i think she's feeling up to it. it's supposed to be close to a sellout tonight. Dayton has never lost to Auburn, although i think that might change tonight. the game is on nationally on CBS Sports Network.
that's all for me today kids. hopefully i will be on here tomorrow with good news.

mom got a tentative date for her hip replacement today. i'm saying it's tentative because if some insurance chaos happens in her favor, her surgery gets moved up 2 weeks. she was little surprised that it's now scheduled for late May. i wasn't. i figured it would be even later. so now it's my goal to make sure she doesn't self-sabotage this one.
i guess there is supposed to be storms tomorrow. it figures, about 3 good days of weather is all this area can take.
the New York Yankees bats went cold last night, losing 4-1. they did at least give themselves a chance for a big hit in the bottom of the 9th, but, that's baseball. hopefully they start another winning streak tonight.
the New York Rangers finally played 60 minutes of hockey for a change last night. that helped them finally snap a 6 game home losing streak in the playoffs. they defeated Montreal 2-1. that evens the series at 2-2. so now it's a best of 3 with 2 games being on the road. and the Rangers were the best road team in the NHL this season. hopefully that continues.
The Voice was good last night. a couple of the performances were amazing. i didn't agree with all of the ones that moved on, but that didn't shock me.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night.
Smackdown was a little weird last night. i'm starting to think that someone in creative is listening to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast as there is no other logical reason for having Jinder Mahal as the #1 contender. but, i do believe Charlotte vs. Naomi will be amazing when they face each other next week.
205 Live was really good last night.

mom wanted me to take her to the drugstore today because she didn't want me to have to go in and buy her feminine hygiene product. that made me laugh, especially when i had to point it out to her in the store. her eyesight is horrific these days. i'd love for her to get that checked before her hip replacement but i doubt that happens. and i wonder where i get my procrastination from...
i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the Europa League.

this blog post is brought to you by The Sam Roberts Show Online #30. you can find the podcast on Itunes, Stitcher, or http://notsam.com/podcast.html. i highly recommend this episode. i also highly recommend Sam's YouTube channel, http://www.youtube.com/notsam. find out what all the buzz is about.
great job by the Yankees last night pissing away a chance to extend their lead on Baltimore. tough on Phil Hughes that his manager can't decide to go by the book or his gut and more times than not makes a fucking mess where it's not needed. doesn't help when the bullpen has a brain fart on top of things. fucking lovely.
my mother and sister should be coming home today from their southern vacation. can't wait to tell my mother all the things i decided to not bother her with on vacation. that should be fun.
i'm interested to see if Manchester United actually give a shit in their match today against Newcastle in the Capital One Cup.
that match starts in a little bit, so i'm out of here.

opened up the windows this morning and decided to give the a/c a rest. not often you get a day in the 70's at this time of year here. might as well take advantage of it.
i found out late last night that my rough copy of my book did make it back to Austin, Texas. a thank you to the postal service. hopefully soon that monster is on the streets.
also on the poetry tip, sent 3 poems out today to Five 2 One Magazine. hopefully my good feeling on this one is correct.
watched the gold medal match in men's Olympic soccer this morning. classic lazy Brazil. take their talent for granted, get scored on in the first 30 seconds. then give up another in the second half. of course, here comes the urgency they didn't play with for the first 80 minutes. they get 1 back and blow a header with 20 seconds to go. (the player that did that has signed with Chelsea i type with a glee on my face). Mexico wins 2-1. great game from them. this is the classic generation for Mexico. get used to seeing them play important matches for the next decade.
Yankees play this afternoon. i will divide my time between that and more of the Olympics. i might catch a few friendlies as well later on today. but the start of my weekend has been pretty good so far (knock on wood).
