why i love pro wrestling...

 night 2 of WrestleMania 40 was awesome. when the cash in happened in the first match, i told mom it was going to be a crazy night. i absolutely love they started the main event before 10 PM. and that main event had everything. as i explained to my mother, Cody and Seth had to lose on Saturday for Cody to have a chance to win on Sunday. to see the Undertaker come back to confront The Rock was a big shock to me. but most of all, i was so damn happy that Cody won and finished the story. now, it will be very interesting to see where WWE goes from here. i have to believe this was the biggest WrestleMania of all time. 









here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:





the Yankees won yesterday at home against Toronto, 8-3. they start a series tonight at home against the Marlins.





the New York Rangers won last night at home against Montreal, 5-2. they tied their season record for wins last night.







the series finale of The Regime was crazy.



the series finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm was hilarious.


A Gentleman in Moscow was very good last night.



Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.


here are your highlights from the NBA yesterday:



enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and Monday Night Raw.


i'm mostly done with my laundry. i'm hoping my clothes will dry before all the shit begins tonight.


the national championship game between UConn and Perdue is tonight.



i was stunned to see the news last night about Kentucky's coach leaving to go coach Arkansas.



i hope everyone had a great weekend.


i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to get her injection in her back.


until tomorrow kids...

happiness i guess...

 so, for the most part, i believe my first go at cooking Thanksgiving went well. it was the first good meal mom has had in over 2 weeks. i made sure she would have plenty and still be under her sodium levels. that is never easy to do, but i guess i am just used to it by now. she was really happy and told others about it. that pissed some people off, which made me really happy. we watched some football and the World Cup yesterday. i turned the Dayton Flyers game off yesterday, as it wasn't good for either of our stress levels. i was hoping to have this blog done by now, but we got some rain overnight. and that always means i didn't sleep worth a shit. joy.


all 3 NFL games yesterday were pretty good. the Bills beat the Lions, 28-25. the Cowboys beat the Giants, 28-20. and the Vikings beat the Patriots, 33-26.







at the World Cup yesterday, Portugal defeated Ghana, 3-2. CR7 became the first male to score in 5 different World Cups. Brazil defeated Serbia yesterday, 2-0. this morning, Iran defeated Wales, 2-0. Senegal defeated Qatar 3-1. Ecuador is currently playing Netherlands. and in the final game today, England plays the USMNT. i really hope the USA men can pull off the upset today. 








the Dayton Flyers lost to NC State yesterday, 76-64. they play BYU today, hoping to not finish in last place for the tournament. the last time Dayton went 0-3 in one of these tournaments, that team finished the season with just 4 wins.



we also watched the Ole Miss vs. Mississippi State game last night as well.



enjoy some music:








and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and AEW Rampage. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.


i am not a big Black Friday shopper, never have been. i do have to go to Kroger today to get some stuff, so i'm sure that will be a giant clusterfuck.


the New York Knicks play tonight at home against Portland.


i should be on here tomorrow in the morning before Ohio State plays that school up north.



i hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. i hope if you are out shopping today, you find the deals you want or get a special gift for someone at a good price.


until tomorrow kids...


fight the power.


fuck racism.

fuck war.

and sometimes, it is just pain...

 the beauty of a bad back is you are never quite sure when it is going to just tap out and say fuck off. i was having a good morning and then my back decided, not today asshole. so, i grabbed some ice and headed to my massage chair. 3 hours later, i was off for my adventure this afternoon. i had to go to Rite Aid since they didn't have one prescription ready when i was there yesterday. then, i headed to Meijer to get some things. of course, the main things i was looking for they didn't have. i then had to go back to the local grocery store to get the one thing mom forgot to put on the grocery list. and then i went to McDonald's to get her Frozen Coke. i always love a day when i am eating lunch after 5 PM.


so, it looks like i'll be on Amazon.com tonight trying to find a few things.


the Yankees won last night at Toronto, 8-3. Aaron Judge hit his 61st HR last night, tying the American League record set by Roger Maris in 1961. the Yankees are off tonight and start a series at home tomorrow night against Baltimore.






AEW Dynamite was really good last night.





The Masked Singer was crazy once again last night.


both episodes of Welcome to Wrexham were very good last night.



enjoy some music:





and now some of this and that:








on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NJPW, Little Demon, Atlanta and Young Sheldon.


the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the New Jersey Devils. i'll probably watch some of that.


the NFL game tonight is the Dolphins at Bengals. i might check out some of that.


i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to her accountant. she has basically used up all her time to procrastinate about the 2021 taxes. 


until tomorrow kids...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck war.


fuck the police.

and here comes the snow...

 part of me is happy it didn't rain much before it started to snow. maybe we'll have less ice this time around. of course, it will all be melted in 2 fucking days as the temps will be back into the 60's. i'll get to drive in this winter shit tomorrow as i have to have the Highlander up to the dealership by 8 AM. that should be fun.


the New York Rangers lost last night in Saint Louis, 6-2. they play Saturday night in Dallas. 







the season finale of B Positive was pretty good last night.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Real Time with Bill Maher and Painting with John. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.


the Dayton Flyers play tonight in the A10 Tournament against UMass. Dayton is a 10 point favorite, so i'm hoping they actually play good and advance. if that happens, they will play the winner of VCU and Richmond tomorrow afternoon.


Manchester United plays tomorrow against Tottenham. i'm hoping for the best, but after last week, who the fuck knows.



ok, that's all for me kids.


i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow, mostly because i have no clue how long i'll be at the car dealership. 


i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i wasn't using that hour anyway...

 i did remember to turn back the clocks last night. sometime today, i'll get around to checking the smoke detectors.


i did do a little poetry work last night. watch out for another blog post this afternoon about the poems i'm sending out later today.


Ohio State defeated Nebraska yesterday, 26-17. i hated that they never really tried to establish the running game. that nearly cost them the game against a team that really, is only good enough to cover the spread and that's it.




i did watch a few other games yesterday while doing my laundry.







the New York Rangers had their asses handed to them last night in Calgary, losing 6-0. as the coach said after the game, at least we're done playing Calgary this season.






Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night.


enjoy some music:





and now some of this and that:










on the DVR tonight will be Axios, Succession, Insecure, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Last Week Tonight, Hightown, the season finale of American Rust, Desus & Mero and Dexter: New Blood.


the New Orleans Saints play today at home against Atlanta. hopefully, the Saints will find a way to win again.


i should be on here tomorrow in the afternoon, sometime after i take mom to get her booster shot at Rite Aid.


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

may the fourth be with you...

 happy Star Wars day to everyone.



the New York Rangers lost to Washington last night, 6-3. i'm not pissed at the score, i'm pissed that the league didn't punish Tom Wilson for what he did to Buchnevich and Panarin. that piece of shit deserved way more than a $5,000 fine. so, when the two teams play tomorrow, i hope Wilson plays and i hope someone from the Rangers ends his fucking career.







The Voice was good last night. the live shows start next week.



Monday Night Raw was better last night. at least it's a step in the right direction.







Miz & Mrs was hilarious last night.





enjoy some music:







and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, the season finale of Young Rock, NXT, Mayans M.C. and Deadliest Catch.


the Yankees start a series tonight at home against the Astros. hopefully, the Yankees beat the shit out of them.


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


it rained here all morning. we got over an inch of rain. this was the house of misery for sure. thankfully, it has stopped. 


well fuck me, it has started again...


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

well, i didn't see that coming...

 the New Orleans Saints whipped the shit out of Tampa Bay last night, 38-3. i fucking loved how they knocked Tom Brady on his ass all night long. my favorite part of the game had to be when Adam Trautman scored his first touchdown of his NFL career. i don't think anyone from Dayton had scored in the NFL in almost 50 years. hopefully, it won't be his last. the Saints are getting healthy and i really hope that means this winning streak is going to last the rest of the season.











the season finale of Our Cartoon President was fucking hilarious last night.


The Good Lord Bird was excellent last night. the finale is next week.



Moonbase 8 was really funny last night.



the finale of Seduced: Inside The NXIVM Cult was excellent.



The Undoing was great last night. i can't remember a show with this many twists every damn week.



Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.



enjoy some music:





and now some of this and that:







on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice, Axios and Industry. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.


i'll probably flip over at some point and let mom watch some of her Jets vs. Patriots game.


i did listen to episode 316 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:


mom had an electrician come out today and look at our lights in the front of the house. i guess the sensors are messed up on all 3 of them. but, they did have an extra wire so they could be wired where i will have to turn them on and off. hopefully, that will work for awhile.


i hope everyone had a great weekend.


i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. it's supposed to be nice for at least part of the day tomorrow. then the damn rain comes. fuck.


until tomorrow kids...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck the police.

it's nice outside, so of course i will be inside cleaning...

mom has decided that today is going to be a cleaning day. of course, the sun is out and it feels good...

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

Betty was really good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

i'm not sure other than vacuuming the house what mom will want me to clean today. i imagine she'll have me dust all the stuff she can't reach. i love how she gets into these moods. she's fucking determined to work herself to death one day. she simply doesn't understand how to relax and enjoy the moment. and i wonder where i get it from.

not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. i know mom has this big breakfast planned. i'll be slightly shocked if she remembers it. her day to day memory is getting worse. thankfully, she has a doctor's appointment the day after Memorial Day. but of course, the doctor she is supposed to see isn't available at the moment since he is the lead doctor for all the COVID-19 shit in the area. joy.

that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

stay healthy.

i guess i needed some sleep...

i got in my massage chair a little before noon today, mostly to ice my back and take a nap. that nap turned into a 3 hour siesta. i probably needed it, especially since Dayton doesn't play until 9 tonight for some fucking reason.

my thoughts on Super Tuesday are pretty simple. i'm not a fan of Joe Biden, and no one who wants to see this country change should be, but i'm also pretty sure no one can fuck this country up more than the asshole running it now. so, if i have to vote for the lesser of two evils, i'll swallow my pride and do it. but, i will always hold out the hope that the sheep in this country will wake the fuck up one day and see the light.

the New York Rangers lost to St. Louis last night, 3-1. i can only imagine what the game would have been like if the refs would have called the 6 or so penalties the Blues got away with other than the three they did call.

WWE Backstage was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Masked Singer, NXT, AEW and Miz & Mrs.

the Dayton Flyers play at Rhode Island tonight. it's senior night, so i'm really hoping Dayton is up to the task of playing the villain tonight. plus, it would put them one step closer to going 18-0 in the league. it also probably means if they win tonight, they will be the only team from the A10 that will make the NCAA tournament, unless Dayton stumbles. i'd love to see Dayton win tonight, but my gut tells me this could be the game that ends the winning streak. i'd love to be wrong.

i should be on here tomorrow after mom has her doctor's appointment. i'm hoping to get some poems written.

Manchester United plays in the FA Cup tomorrow. i think that's going on at the same time as mom's doctor's appointment. so, hopefully i'll have some good news to report tomorrow.

that's all for me kids. until tomorrow...

been a busy boy here in the last 15 hours or so...

before i get to everything else, a little poetry news to pass along... i heard back from the folks at Chantarelle's Notebook on my poetry submission from earlier this month. they decided to pass on the 5 poems i sent. so, last night, i decided to figure out where my next batch of poems would be going. i sent out 13 poems earlier today; 3 to Red Eft Review and 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash and Heroin Love Songs v2.0. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

the Dayton Flyers started off a little sluggish yesterday against Duquesne. for only the second time this season, they trailed at halftime. apparently, Coach Grant reamed their asses at halftime and the boys responded. Dayton won 80-70. and given that 3 of the top 4 teams lost yesterday, Dayton could be moving up to the top 4 teams in the country. what a time to be fucking alive. Obi Toppin scored 28 points in the game, which put him over 1,000 points in his career. he achieved that in just 60 games. Dayton plays on Tuesday night at George Mason.

the New York Rangers won last night over San Jose, 3-2. Igor Shesterkin made 44 saves for his 7th win in a row. not bad to win 9 of your first 10 starts in the NHL. suddenly, the Rangers are 4 points out of a playoff spot now, with 2 games in hand. the trade deadline is tomorrow. i have no damn clue if the Rangers are going to sell or buy.

here are your XFL highlights from yesterday:

ROH was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Batwoman, The Outsider, Avenue 5, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Last Week Tonight, Our Cartoon President, Homeland and two episodes of Kidding.

i got almost 5 hours of sleep last night. almost. i did get my laundry done last night as well.

Manchester United defeated Watford today, 3-0. Bruno, Martial and Greenwood got the goals. United are now three points out of 4th place in the league with 11 games to go.

i'll probably flip between sports today and try to get some more rest.

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

i should be on here in the afternoon tomorrow.

until then...

after an all nighter...

i finally did some poetry work last night. i think i know where the next round of submissions will be going. i'm not sure when that will happen. i'm shooting for sometime this week.

i did write 1 poem today while mom was doing physical therapy. i typed that up when we got back from Waffle House.

the series finale of The Affair was fucking perfect last night. i absolutely loved it.

the mid-season finale of Power was crazy. i can't wait to find out who shot Ghost.

Batwoman was good last night.

Axios was excellent last night.

Watchmen was really good last night.

Silicon Valley was hilarious last night.

Mrs. Fletcher was really 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 and Desus & Mero. i'll spend most of tonight watching Monday Night Raw.

i did listen to episode 263 of Notsam Wrestling today. you can find that by going here:
http://notsam.com/wrestlingpodcast/2019/11/4/notsam-wrestling-263-corey-graves

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Ottawa. i'd love to see the Rangers keep winning.

i might watch some of the Monday night football game tonight between the Giants and Cowboys.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after my physical therapy session.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.
