for some damn reason, i was up at 6:30 this morning. i didn't want to be, i know that for sure. i had to get mom up at 9 so she would ready for her hair appointment this afternoon. i dropped her off there and went to the bank to make a deposit. after i did that, i went to Meijer to look for some baseball cards. my goal was to spend under $40. i got 4 packs and some NBA cards for $32. sadly, there wasn't much good in the packs. of course, that is the danger of buying retail. after that, i went back to where mom was getting her hair cut. she must have had around 6 inches cut off. i told her that should feel much better in this heat. once she paid, we went to Kroger, which is basically across the street. she had pills ready and so did i. i thought i was going to get a better discount on the Rybelsus. the first two times i got it, it was $74. this time, it was $237. as i told my mother, ah, capitalism. so, instead of $300 off like the first two times, this time was around $130. sadly, nothing surprises me anymore. this was mom's first time in Kroger since they had remodeled. i think she could tell i was being honest when i told her it would be sensory overload her first time in there. we went back home and i finally had some lunch; roughly 8 hours after i had breakfast.
the Yankees won last night at Texas, 8-4. hopefully, they will do it again tonight.
Name That Tune was good last night.
Monday Night Raw was very good last night.

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Deadliest Catch and Hard Knocks.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:
as we were coming out of mom's appointment with her accountant, the sun was out. that was basically the only thing that stopped me from snapping at her. this was an appointment that should have took less than a hour but was well over a hour because mom can't help herself to not talk about politics, or whatever the fuck else. and i am not a person that needs useless small talk. it doesn't do anything for me. and i certainly see why mom worked the long hours as i can see just how much of her time was spent chatting with anyone that would happen to listen. fuck me. might be the most annoyed i have been in years. but, the taxes are done. hurray. i had to go to Rite Aid after that and pick up some pills. first time mom got to see some of the construction going on around town.
here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:
the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Philadelphia, 4-1. it is painfully obvious that the Rangers have no interest in any of these games now that they are already qualified for the playoffs. my fear is that when the playoffs do start, they will forget to flip the fucking switch back on.
Young Sheldon was very funny last night.
NJPW was new last night although the guide said it was a rerun. i guess the show is moving to Wednesday nights now.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Real Time with Bill Maher and Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
the Yankees got rained out tonight in Cleveland, so they will be playing a day/night doubleheader tomorrow.
so, i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow seeing that the Yankees and Manchester United will playing around the same time.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.

the USMNT plays a MUST win game tonight against Honduras. the game is in Minnesota, so that should be colder than fuck. hopefully, that works to the USA's advantage.
the Dayton Flyers play tonight at VCU. i'd love to see Dayton find a way to win tonight, but i won't be holding my breath expecting one.
so, by this time tomorrow it should be snowing like the world is ending. i am pretty damn sure i don't have to go out for anything tomorrow, except for the paper and mail. and quite frankly, if it is really bad, that shit can wait until Friday.
i did cancel my eye doctor's appointment for Friday. i made it for 2 weeks later. i'm really hoping the weather is better then.
i did write a poem today about the guy across the street that killed himself 6 days before Christmas. i'm hoping i write a few more in the next few days, enough to get some submissions out at least.
that's all for me kids...

the Yankees finally won last night, thanks to Clint Frazier. he made a great catch to keep the game tied last night and then hit a 2 run walk off homer in the 11th to win the game over Tampa, 5-3. hopefully, they will win again tonight.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

it was sort of gloomy today, a little snow, a little sunshine, wind blowing like a motherfucker... one of those days i knew i was only going to go outside once (to get the paper and mail) and that was it. add in some pain in my back and it has been more or less one of those days to forget.
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:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Young Sheldon, B Positive, The Unicorn, Clarice and Desus & Mero. i watched NXT UK this afternoon. it was excellent.
i know i have to go out tomorrow and pick up some pills for my mother. i have a coupon for $5 off at Big Lots that i will probably end up using tomorrow as well. if the weather is good, i may do a little card hunting to see if i can find any new baseball or even basketball, hockey or football cards.
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.
that's all for me kids.
until tomorrow...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.

i got almost 5 hours of sleep last night. that's pretty good for me. but, my back was killing me today, so i put a little ice on it and got in my massage chair. 3 hours later i was like oh shit, didn't plan that long of a power nap. so yeah. i'm running behind.
i got two of my Amazon orders in the mail today. thankfully, now my baseball cards that are worth something are in the proper sleeves. the ones i got at Meijer were the wrong ones, so i'm going to use those for in case of emergency type shit.
NXT was awesome last night.
AEW was crazy last night.

i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm hoping i don't have to go out and get anything, but i know with my mother's health, there is always that possibility.
happy birthday to my high school crush who probably is even more beautiful all these years later...
i need to go help mom with dinner, so that's all for me kids.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at home against Rhode Island. Dayton is 10-0 in the A10 this year. Rhode Island is 10-1. plus, Obi Toppin's brother Jacob plays for Rhode Island. tonight should be a really good game. i really hope Dayton plays its best game of the season tonight. they will probably need it.
the New York Rangers play tonight on the road at Winnipeg. the trade deadline is under 2 weeks away. this little road trip should make up the team's mind regarding to sell or buy at the deadline.
that's pretty much all for me kids. i need to get the trash picked up, take a shower, hopefully sneak in a nap and then go to the game.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

i opened up the windows this morning and there was a crisp in the air. it finally feels like fall.
mom was having muscle spasms all night, so that was fun. she got the results from her x-ray. nothing is cracked or broken, so that's good. she's just bruised really bad. the doctor gave her some muscle relaxers. i don't think they are helping as much as she wanted them to. now i just have to remind her to keep ice on it as much as possible. good times.
Smackdown was pretty good last night. i loved that Bayley went full heel and won back the Smackdown women's championship. it was also the first night of the draft. this should help both shows to feel much different in the weeks to come.
205 Live was good last night as well.
the finale of Murder in the Bayou was very good last night. i know if i wanted life as a criminal, i would move to Jennings, Louisiana.
Room 104 was excellent last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was fucking hilarious last night.

it has rained all day today. and by rain, i mean it has fucking poured so bad there is some flooding. it wasn't that fun driving mom to her physical therapy considering a few of the roads were covered with water and the highway was full of trucks going slow. joy. thankfully, i got her there on time with no problems, other than the parking lot was flooded more or less. nothing quite like having wet shoes and socks for the next few hours. i drop mom off at the door, so she doesn't have too far to walk.
i got 16 poems written while she was in physical therapy today. i have no clue when i will get those typed up.
the New York Rangers won last night over Boston, 4-3 in a shootout. it was a pretty entertaining game, that's for sure.
NXT was really good last night.
NXT UK was really good yesterday as well.
Drop the Mic was hilarious last night.
The Masked Singer was fucking crazy last night. second week in a row i was correct.

so my checking account with Chase got suspended today due to suspicious activity. Debbie had requested me to send her some money out of the donations, so i did. of course, that was my 3rd transfer of money in 6 days, so i can understand why there was some suspicion. of course, i told Debbie back in the beginning how much easier it would be to just have it directly deposited into her account, but what the fuck do i know. so, after 25 minutes of me finally remembering the PIN number to a debit card i haven't used in over a decade and explaining why i am wiring the money, they sent the wire through and unlocked my account. the funniest part of this was the guy's reaction to me not having a cell phone where he could send a verification code to. he was so dumbfounded, he had no clue how to talk to someone from a previous century.
hopefully, since someone gets paid in a few days, i won't have to wire any money for a few weeks. of course, knowing how things ago, i'll probably have a request tomorrow.
here is your World Cup update:
Colombia defeated Senegal 1-0 this morning. Poland defeated Japan 1-0. this afternoon, Belgium defeated England 1-0 and Tunisia defeated Panama 2-1. so now the final 16 are set.
France vs. Argentina, Uruguay vs. Portugal, Spain vs. Russia, Croatia vs. Denmark, Brazil vs. Mexico, Belgium vs. Japan, Sweden vs. Switzerland and Colombia vs. England.
the New York Yankees lost last night in Philadelphia 3-0. they are off tonight and start a series at home against Boston this weekend.
Big Brother was pretty good last night. it's the one guilty pleasure show i allow myself. hard to believe it's fucking season 20 already.
NXT was really good last night.
Lucha Underground was excellent last night.

i went and got a haircut today. since summer is really supposed to kick in here soon, i figured i'd go get a new identity. judge for yourself:
can't you tell i just love taking pictures.
since it's supposed to feel like 105 degrees when i normally go to the grocery store tomorrow, i'll be going in the fucking morning. so, if all goes well, (go ahead and laugh), i'll be blogging tomorrow afternoon. at least i won't be missing any World Cup games as the round of 16 doesn't start until Saturday.
that's all for me kids.

i think i got around 4 1/2 hours of sleep last night. i think that mostly was due to the low being 60 fucking degrees last night. i think there's a chance for it to get up into the 70's today. of course, i believe that comes with a chance of thunderstorms. and in a few days it will be back to down to the 30's. time for everyone to get sick again.
USA hockey defeated Slovakia last night 5-1. that means they will play the Czech Republic tonight with a chance to move on to the semifinals. they looked much better last night than they have for the entire tournament.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. the gauntlet match was very entertaining. of course, it took up 2/3 of the entire show. it was good to see Seth Rollins remind everyone of just how great he is.
Celebrity Big Brother was pretty good last night. i got a good laugh when Ross won the VETO. that blew up Omarosa's plan to get rid of him. Metta went home last night, willingly. the damn show ends in 6 days. i have no idea why he couldn't last that much longer.

i'll probably flip between the hockey game and the basketball game and whatever else is going on tonight with the Winter Olympics.
i do plan on taking my little notebook today while mom is doing her physical therapy. if i happen to write some shit, i'm planning on typing those up when we get back home.
and i think mom wants to go out to eat after her physical therapy. not sure where she wants to go, so that should be interesting. there's probably 30 different choices down there than we have up where we live.
i'll be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the Champions League.
that's all for me kids. i need to hop in the shower. enjoy the visual.

the Dayton Flyers lost last night to Auburn 73-60. that stops Dayton's 16 game home winning streak. first off, Dayton simply wasn't good enough in this game. defense was atrocious at times and they settled for way too many jump shots. secondly, the officiating was horrific. Dayton has the younger brother of the Greek Freak that plays in the NBA. for the second time that i can remember this season, Kostas got a foul called on him simply because of who he was. i am so fucking tired of refs that call shit because they think something is going to happen. how the fuck do you get a charge called on you when you don't touch the fucking player on your drive to the hoop? this has been my bitch for years now. since refs can't keep up with better and faster athletes, they try to anticipate shit. instead of the novel fucking approach of simply calling what you see. thirdly, Dayton's offense is a fucking joke. they will get zoned to death by any coach that can actually coach. Dayton's unwillingness to work the ball inside and out possession after possession slowly put the damn crowd to sleep. i don't think Dayton got closer than 8 in the second half. Dayton's next game will be on Sunday night at Mississippi State. oh joy.
mom got dizzy way too many times last night at the game. i don't think she's ready yet for all the noise and flashing lights, etc.
Total Divas was pretty good last night.
NXT was pretty good as well last night.

it was rainy this morning here, so my bones have been achy all damn day. that's always fun. i wanted to get some poems ready for next week but i haven't felt like it at all. hell, i don't really feel like doing this blog but i know there's plenty of Russians looking at it each day.
Waffle House was rather interesting last night. the cook was a young black man. i was immediately interested to see how the employees would interact. the one thing i have noticed about this town is most people have no clue how to act around a black person. i picked up on that when our waitress changed her attitude once he was no longer in the kitchen. it's fucking amazing how often people around here have no damn clue what being racist actually is. i really hope this town gets more integrated over time. i'd love to see all the fucking racists flee.
and on that lovely note, until tomorrow kids...
