so, here's a little good news...

 my mother doesn't have COVID... that was probably the best thing that came from the conversation with the nurse last night. she is feeling much better. she did a bunch of tests this morning and it is surely congestive heart failure. she has to start a new diet, no more alcohol (she's not happy about that), etc. etc. it looks like she may be coming home either tomorrow or Saturday.

i did the dishes this morning, swept the house and shoveled the driveway this afternoon. my sister is supposed to be here in the morning tomorrow and i know we're going to have to have some talks regarding mom. 

in even better news, Manchester United won 4-0 today in the Europa League over Real Sociedad. that was a pleasant shock.

NXT was very good last night.

AEW was very good last night as well.

The Masked Dancer finale was excellent last night. i did get Cotton Candy right.

the USWNT plays Canada tonight as the SheBelieves Cup starts tonight.

i don't really have a clue when i will be on here tomorrow. if my mother comes home, the blog may not come out until late Friday night or so. if she doesn't, it will probably be in the afternoon, long before Dayton plays Saint Louis.

now i need to go shower, check some emails, etc. etc.

so today was a little crazy...

 so, my mother has been having problems with her asthma the last couple days. she had me buy something to read her oxygen levels today while i was at Rite-Aid. i got a text from her while i was in line at Meijer telling me she had a telehealth appointment at 2 and if she got worse, she was going to call the squad to evaluate her. so, i texted her back that i should be home before 2. i still had to go to Kroger and get the rest of the groceries... i got home at 1:40. of course, my mother was nowhere to be found. so, around 5:30 this evening, i got a text from her which was mostly gibberish. i figured she had to be on drugs. so, i guess the squad took her to the emergency room of the closest hospital to us. thankfully, i guessed right when i called. she is being admitted to the hospital upstairs, and can't have any visitors because she has respiratory problems. so, this should be a fun evening.

i did get everything on the grocery list today. made a trip to the bank. i had to get gas as well. good thing i did, just in case i do have to travel a bit with this upcoming storm. my order from Walk Off Wax finally came today. between that and the box of baseball cards i got at Rite-Aid today, i think i got some pretty good ones. now, i have to order some more damn supplies.

Young Rock was pretty funny last night.

Kenan was pretty funny as well last night.

the New York Rangers lost to the Devils last night, 5-2. honestly, i think the Rangers are trying to get their coach fired.

the Dayton Flyers pissed away a fucking 18 point lead in the second half last night and lost at Rhode Island, 91-89 in 2 OT. part of me is still fucking pissed about that. 

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NXT, AEW and the finale of The Masked Dancer.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm guessing it will be sometime after Manchester United plays in the Europa League.

hopefully, i will get to speak to my mother either tonight or tomorrow sometime. it would be lovely if someone would call here and actually tell me her condition, etc.

the New York Rangers lost to Boston last night, 3-2 in OT. i swear to god, if this team would simply look to shoot the fucking puck instead of always trying to make the perfect pass... 

NXT was really good last night. i can't wait for Takeover on Sunday.

AEW was really good last night as well.

The Masked Dancer was good last night. i had a hunch that the Zebra was a boxer, but i never thought it was Oscar De La Hoya. the finals are next week.

Name That Tune was good last night. i was a little shocked at some of the songs the contestants didn't know.

so, late last night i bought some baseball cards from Walk Off Wax. they had a sale going on and i figured i might as well give them a try. here is a link to their website:

i may try getting some writing done tonight. i have some thoughts swimming in my head that i should probably get down on paper before they drown.

shopping between snow storms...

 right after i got home from the grocery store, it started to snow. so, i guess i got pretty lucky with that. of course, i wasn't that lucky while i was out.

the 2021 Topps cards were released today. i tried getting on the website and couldn't. by the time i could, everything was sold out. i checked out 2 Rite-Aids today and a Walgreens, no luck. i almost went to Meijer but decided against it. oh well.

Manchester United defeated West Ham yesterday 1-0 in extra time to advance in the FA Cup. the game nearly put me to sleep. thankfully, they won.

the Dayton Flyers started off great last night against VCU. of course, when the coach doesn't know when to use the timeouts correctly and never makes any fucking adjustments, i knew the good start was fools gold at best. sure enough, VCU finished the first half on a 10-0 run and Dayton only got the lead back once in the second half. and as soon as that happened, they pissed it away as fast as they could. VCU won 76-67. and the icing on the cake is their game this weekend against Saint Joe's has been postponed because of COVID going on with Saint Joe's. lovely.

Black Art in the Absence of Light was excellent last night. i recommend everyone watching it.

 i had a choice today... either ice my back or put some poems out. i chose to ice my back and got a 2 hour nap out of it. good times. of course, that means the poems are going out tomorrow.

i got the mail today right before it started to snow again. i have no clue how much we are supposed to get. all i know, is it is currently fucking with the satellite feed. of course.

NXT was very good last night.

AEW was very good last night as well.

i did happen to catch NXT UK this afternoon. it was very good.

today was a day to remind myself that life is nothing but a slow death...

 i wrote a poem last night that i broke into five parts. it was the first time i have done that in years. i'm doing my next round of submissions either tomorrow or Friday.

the first two stops on the grocery shopping day were fine. i went to Rite-Aid to get a ton of stuff for mom. they didn't have any baseball cards there. so, i went to the one where i got lucky the last time, near the Kroger i go to. more on the baseball cards i found in a bit. as for Kroger. you would think a damn blizzard is coming or something. fuck, it was way too damn crowded for my liking, especially in a fucking pandemic. but, i got everything on the list, so we are stocked for weeks in my opinion.

as for the baseball cards, i paid $13 for 3 Fairfield boxes. i got 1 autographed card out of one box and all told, probably close to $50 worth of cards. not bad.

the Dayton Flyers started off like shit yesterday at Duquesne. and honestly, when the score was 15-3, i turned the damn thing off. the final score of 69-64 does no justice to the fact the game was never close.

sometimes it feels like banging your head against a ton of bricks...

 my day was actually going pretty good. i found plenty of baseball cards today (more on that in a bit), got all the grocery shopping done in time to get home to see Manchester United play. and then everything went to shit.

let's get this shit out of the way. Manchester United was playing the worst team in the Premier League today, knowing they needed a victory to go back into first place. so, of course, they play down to their competition and fucking lost, 2-1. kill me now.

i picked up a box of 2020 Topps Heritage High Numbers today at Meijer. got some new sheets for the cards while i was there as well. the Rite-Aid where i live had no cards at all. so, i went to the Rite-Aid where the grocery store i use is at and holy fuck, i got 2 Fairfield boxes of baseball cards and 1 Fairfield box of football cards. now, both of the baseball card boxes had relics in them. the football box had some really good cards in it. and the Topps Heritage box had some really good rookie cards in it and one short print. so, all in all, i think i got my money's worth today. 

the New York Rangers lost last night to Buffalo, 3-2. i'm hoping one of these nights they actually just stop thinking and start playing and let their talent come through.

the Dayton Flyers lead from start to finish yesterday against Saint Louis. they won 76-71. it was Dayton's first win against a ranked opponent since 2015. 

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Masked Dancer, Name That Tune, NXT and AEW.

amazingly, they got the trash and recycling picked up before 11 AM this morning. they never have that done that early. i was pleasantly shocked.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm guessing it will be before the Rangers play tomorrow night.

i'm pretty happy with what the Yankees have done this offseason. if the new pitchers actually have something left in the tank, i think they will definitely have a chance to win it all this season, while being below the salary cap. 

that's all for me kids. i have a dinner to go help make.

 so, i turned 45 today. my sister called this morning to wish me a happy birthday and to remind me i'm old. that made me laugh as she is only 18 months younger than i am.

i took mom to her foot doctor today. we got there early and it went pretty fast. he's retiring soon, so she has to go to a new one before too long. after that, we decided to try out this BBQ place on the way home. it had been years since we had been there. they have a drive-thru now, so we decided to do that. i had the brisket sandwich and my mother got some smoked wings. i have to say, Company 7 BBQ has some really fucking good food.

one of those days where i'm a little all over the place...

 i found out last night that Gerald Locklin had died over the weekend. he was one of the poets i always admired, ever since i got into this racket in the 90's. i have a few of his books and we had chatted a couple of times over the years. he was my living link to Charles Bukowski in a sense. rest easy old friend, you will be missed and never forgotten.

https://www.presstelegram.com/2021/01/18/gerald-locklin-csulb-teacher-writer-poet-dies-at-79/

my grandmother would have been 109 today. i think she would have enjoyed the inauguration. i did watch some of it, mostly because i wanted to hear Amanda Gorman's poem. she didn't disappoint.

i did get some baseball cards today before i did all the grocery shopping. i bought a couple Fairfield boxes at the local Rite-Aid. i spent less than $10 on them. i did get a numbered hit in one of the boxes. all in all, i probably got close to $25 worth of cards. that put a smile on my face.

the grocery shopping went pretty good today. i'm fucking tired of seeing these assholes with no masks on in the stores. especially this fucking woman today with an infant with her. and i'm the asshole because i hope they catch this shit and die.

the New York Rangers lost last night to the Devils, 4-3. the Rangers had 50 shots on goal. so, it was one of those games where the goalie stole it.

the Dayton Flyers were supposed to play tonight but their game against George Washington got postponed because GW's coach has COVID. i'm really fucking hoping that Dayton's coach doesn't get it since their last game was against GW.

i did get home in time to watch the Manchester United game against Fulham today. United did what they always do on the road. give up the first goal and then find a way to win. goals from Cavani and Pogba and United won 2-1.

i turn 45 tomorrow. i have no clue what will be in store for me tomorrow. i know i need to get my driver's license renewed, but that's going to wait until it gets a little warmer. i have until July to get it done. i know i have to take mom to her foot doctor tomorrow. i have no clue if we're going out to eat after that or not. i know i'll be on here sometime in the afternoon most likely.

one of those days...

 today was one of those days where i have had to make 4 hours of sleep work for me and just my luck... the adrenaline is starting to fade right before the hockey games come on tonight. good times.

i had to go pick up pills for my mother this afternoon. i always love dropping over $500 on her medicine. earlier today, i had to go to her bank to deposit her check from the government. after i did that, i went to the Rite-Aid right across the street from the bank. i had never been in this one. luckily, they did have a couple boxes of baseball cards there. i spent less than $10 on the cards and there was close to $25 worth of cards in them. that made me happy, especially the blue rainbow foil Zach Britton card i got that is worth around $12.

the Dayton Flyers were trailing last night at halftime against a Duquesne team that totally fucking sucks. thankfully, Dayton started the second half on fire and pulled away to win the game, 72-63.

NXT was pretty good last night.

i did get all the grocery shopping done today. i stopped by Meijer because i needed some more sheets for the baseball cards. i was hoping to find some baseball cards today but none of the places i went had any. so, i picked up a tin of hockey cards at Meijer. i have never bought one of these tins before. there was 10 packs in the tin plus a bonus back of rookies. other than the rookie cards and a few cool inserts, the best thing about the tin was that Connor McDavid was on the front of it. i won't be buying another one, that's for sure. live and learn.

the Dayton Flyers play at home tonight against Duquesne. Dayton should win this game, but i won't believe until i see it. i have learned my lesson already this season.

i made my eye appointment for next week. i believe it's next Tuesday afternoon. i wanted to get it done before my birthday. i need to get my license renewed as well, but i can't imagine what kind of shit show is going on at the DMV. i know Ohio has given us an extra 6 months to get this kind of shit done, so i think it's going to depend on the weather when i happen to go. and considering they are talking about snow this weekend, no fucking chance i'll get that done before my birthday most likely.

i'll be turning 45 in 8 days. any of you are more than welcome to go to my Amazon.com wish list and get me something if you so desire. i do have shit on there under $5 by the way.

no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. it should be long before the Rangers play tomorrow night.

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

fuck donald trump.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

wear your mask.

ella tiene ojos que pueden derretir cualquier alma en la tierra

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

the day after...

 so, the Biden victory got certified last night/early this morning. i'm not sure why people are saying Trump conceded. all he said was i don't agree, there will be a peaceful transition, the facts will prove me right, the FIGHT to make America great again is just beginning... how in the fuck is that a concession? i'm not sure why they are still wondering if they should invoke the 25th amendment... i would love to see the fucker get impeached again... that way he could never run for president again... since we all know that deranged fucker is going to pull this shit again 4 years from now. as i told my mother this morning, he's going to hold the world hostage for the next 2 weeks or until he gets the $400 million he owes the Russians and can avoid getting what any fucker that owes that kind of money to the mafia deserves. good times.

NXT was really good last night.

AEW had an ending for the ages last night.

The Masked Dancer was pretty good last night.

i almost all the songs right on Name That Tune last night. mom was a little stunned.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Total Bellas and Cari & Jemele Won't Stick to Sports. i watched NXT UK this afternoon. it was excellent.

i saw this morning that 4 people died in the failed coup yesterday. i wish it was more. 

i will probably have to go pick up my pills tomorrow in the afternoon. i will most likely be on here sometime after that. i do plan on having the blog out before Dayton plays at Davidson tomorrow night.

i got the coffee i ordered from Youngstown Coffee Co. today. i'm really hoping the coffee is good as i would love to have some different options of Highlander Grogg to be able to taste. that is pretty much the only coffee mom likes anymore. i did get The Dude's Roast as well. i think i will be trying that this weekend most likely.

that's all for me kids. i have a bad back to ice down and a morning paper to finally read.

i feel like i have been on this damn computer all day long.

thanks again for everyone that has checked out my latest published poem:
