i grew up in a house that whether i liked it or not, i was going to listen to Tina Turner's music. now, i didn't mind her music as i liked it and i found her to be a very beautiful woman. i was in the ice cream aisle of Kroger today when my phone started going nuts. i must have got about 40 notices at once. all of them were about Tina Turner dying at the age of 83. part of me was stunned. part of me immediately started playing her music in my head. she was an absolute legend and will be missed by millions. goodbye to the queen of rock and roll.
a delightful trip into the dark mind of an evil genius or simply the musings of an asshole

rain rain and more rain...
my arthritis has been destroying me today. add on top of that an eruption last night from god knows what... this hasn't been one of those days i will long to remember when i'm old and begging for death. add on top of that, the guy who is supposed to do the demo of mom's bathroom showed up today. he's a really cool dude. but, he had no idea that the house was on a slab. so, he didn't do any demo today as he didn't have the stuff he needed. and he told us that this will not be a quick job, so that 3 day guarantee is gone already. and to add the cherry on top of this pile of shit, FedEx showed up this morning with another medicine cabinet mirror. i asked mom did she order two? she doesn't think so. i would certainly like to know the truth in all of this. if the company fucked up, good. if my mother mistakenly ordered two, i guess i get to be the asshole who takes the internet away from her. and then i get to heap on another pile of shit i have to do each and every day. joy.

the bad back wins again...
this doesn't happen that much to me anymore (thankfully) but there is a point where my pain in my bad back just becomes too fucking much. and what happens is i usually have to spend most of the day in my massage chair with ice on it and i am fucking useless. now, being my mother's caretaker means useless isn't allowed, which i do understand. so, i don't get to spend as much time in the chair as i would love to, but that's called fucking life. today my bad back has decided it wanted to win. and it has.
the Yankees lost yesterday at Toronto, 10-9. they blew an 8-3 lead. oh well. they will hopefully start a new winning streak tonight at that dump down in Tampa.

the start of spring...
i always love when spring starts in Ohio. 9 times out of 10, it still feels like fucking winter.
the New York Rangers won last night in Tampa Bay, 2-1. they won all 3 games with the Lightning this season. that's the first time they have done that in 9 years. the Rangers play tonight at Carolina.

the start of college basketball...
so, today is the start of the college basketball season. i almost wish the Dayton Flyers weren't playing tonight so i could stay home and watch all the games tonight. Dayton will be playing Illinois-Chicago. Dayton is a 14.5 point favorite. i think they will win, but i wouldn't touch that line in a million years. Dayton is very young this year and i have no clue how they will play against older players at the same level. that being said, this could be a more talented team in a few spots than the team that went 29-2 a few years ago.

welcome to November...
so, my crazy day is just about half over. i'm running on 3 hours of sleep and pretty sure i'm not going to get any more before i have to leave for the game. unless i nap in the shower, which is a possibility.
i did get mom to her appointment this morning. we were there for over a hour. she wanted to get her blood drawn afterwards, but that wasn't possible. so, i got her an appointment for tomorrow, which she now wants to cancel because she hates being up early in the morning. oh well.
i did get to the bank and make a deposit today. thankfully, the bank i usually go to was actually open. of course, they had just one guy working the drive thru and the walk up windows. but, i am a patient soul when i want to be.
the New Orleans Saints defeated Tampa Bay yesterday, 36-27. of course, Jameis Winston tore his ACL in the game and is now done for the season. but, anytime the boys can make Tom Brady look like shit, i am happy.

jumping the gun...
i counted 8 white women today that weren't wearing masks. the governor of this backwards state said today that the masks order will end in 3 weeks. but, as usual, if you are white in this state, you can get away with whatever the fuck you want.
the grocery store wasn't that crowded today. i was able to get everything on the list. didn't find any baseball cards anywhere. my order from Walk Off Wax should be here by the weekend.
NXT was excellent last night.

if you don't like the weather, just wait about 10 minutes...
the nice weather we had yesterday gave way to thunder and lightning and a howling wind last night. just what my bad back needed. fuck.
Tina was very good last night. of course, i got to see most of it while i was folding clothes and then helping mom make dinner.

and the sun brings more people out...
it got into the 50's today. of course, that meant more jackasses out and about today. and of course, since other states are lifting their mask mandates, there were plenty of fuckers out today without a mask. the ignorance of the people around here is slowly driving me insane. i did get everything on the grocery list today. had to go to 4 stores to get it done... i was really disappointed at Meijer today. i was hoping to pick up some baseball cards there, but they had fucking nothing. at least the coffee mom likes was on sale...
The Voice was pretty good last night.

welcome to the weekend
so, i got mom to her appointment this morning on time. everything went well, or at least that was what both of us thought. they took some blood from mom and i guess they called when i was out this afternoon. her sodium is low and she's dehydrated. just fucking lovely. and of course, this is the anniversary of her second husband's death, so she's been fucking emotional all day long. good times.
so, i went out today trying to find some baseball cards. i first went to Big Lots and they didn't have shit. hell, they didn't even have any toys i was interested in getting either. so, i went to the Rite-Aid that is south of where i live. i haven't been there for a month or so but had some decent success the last time i was there. i found 2 Fairfield boxes and a pack of 2020 Donruss Optic football cards. i got all 3 of those and it cost me $18. i made that all back from the football pack of cards alone. add in the hit in the one Fairfield box and the 1999 Topps Roy Halladay in the other box and i made somewhere around $60 in total from the 3. that made me really fucking happy. now, if i could only get some people to start buying some cards off of me...
i'm trying to move my non-sports cards as well. i have some Star Wars, Superman 2, E.T., Batman, Michael Jackson, Garbage Pail Kids, Alf, The Monkees and some WWE cards i'm hoping to sell. and of course, i have plenty of baseball, football, hockey and basketball cards from 1959-2021. if you are interested or know anyone that is, feel free to send me an email (jcampb4593@aol.com) i am definitely looking to move it all.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
