so, i took some mail out to the mailbox around 2:30 in the morning last night. i figured i should probably put on some sweatpants to go outside and my winter coat. i know by the time i got back inside, it had to be well below zero with the windchill. i can see why mom has spent most of today in bed. (over 14 hours)
here are your links for this day of Black History Month:
team USA lost to Sweden last night at the 4 Nations Face Off, 2-1. the game meant basically nothing, since the USA had already clinched the finals. they will play Canada on Thursday for the championship. Canada held on to beat Finland, 5-3.
The Voice was very good last night.
Monday Night Raw was good last night.
enjoy some music:

apparently, 5 hours of sleep is my new normal. the last two nights has been get tired and then fall to sleep like a snap of the fingers. now, i wish i just felt like i was actually rested and revived. baby steps i suppose.
the Dayton Flyers won yesterday at home against Fordham, 78-70.

we had a cold sunshine this morning. my bets in the Premier League shit the bed. and mom and i both needed to go to the bathroom at the same time this morning. oh joy. at least the toilet in the bathroom that is being remolded is still hooked up and functioning. our second bathroom is so fucking packed with shit, it is amazing either one of us fits in there to do anything. i did make it to Rite Aid and Lowe's today. i got my prescription at Rite Aid and mom got the paint she wanted for the bathroom at Lowe's. now, i'm hoping the rest of today will be relaxing and well shit, who am i kidding? it will be nothing but stress until wrestling starts tonight. and then, hopefully, i will be fucking entertained beyond belief.
here are your links for this day of Black History Month:
the New York Rangers got down last night in Edmonton, 4-1, in the first period. i was not happy. so, you can imagine the joy i had last night when the Rangers won in a shootout, 5-4. these are the type of games that make me think something magical is possible once again. they play tonight in Calgary.
the Dayton Flyers won last night at Loyola Chicago, 65-49.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night. i can't wait for the Elimination Chamber event tonight from Montreal. it should be fucking nuts.
AEW Rampage was very good last night.
Young Rock was pretty funny last night.
The 12th Victim was good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.
Game Theory with Bomani Jones was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight. i'll be watching WWE Elimination Chamber for most of the night on Peacock.
i might watch some of the NBA Saturday Night tonight. that includes the slam dunk contest, 3 point shootout, etc. here are some of the highlights from last night:
i have watched a little college basketball so far today. i will probably watch some more before i watch wrestling this evening.
i will most likely be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the morning. considering everyone that dropped points today, i really hope United wins tomorrow.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
first off, i had a conversation with an old friend/lover last night. it is kind of shocking at times what happens when you don't hear from someone for a few months. glad you are still alive. we shall be meeting again soon.
so, my eye doctor's appointment went well today. my right eye is a little worse, but not bad enough to need new glasses. and my new insurance is certainly coming in handy. this appointment would usually cost me $45 or more in the past. today it was $29. the prescription i got from Rite Aid today was $12. it always cost me $30 when i got it at Kroger. so, i'm really fucking happy all the bullshit with my insurance seems to be figured out now.
the New York Rangers lost to Detroit last night in a shootout, 3-2. just one of those frustrating as fuck nights.
the USWNT had a 0-0 draw last night with Czech Republic. i am all for the team getting younger. but, the kids need to understand the standard that has been put down for them. last night didn't come fucking close to that standard at all.
NXT UK was really good last night.
Vice News Tonight had two good shows this week. the show comes back in March.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW, Celebrity Big Brother, Smackdown, Real Time with Bill Maher and Painting with John. i'll watch NXT Level Up (which has replaced 205 Live) sometime tonight on Peacock.
it was a bit icy this morning. thankfully, by this afternoon, the sun melted most of it. i got the rest of it on the driveway. i knew i better get that done since my sister is coming down tomorrow.
i'm going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow, before the WWE show in Saudi Arabia happens.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.

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.
here are your links for this day of Black History Month:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Young Sheldon, B Positive, The Unicorn, Clarice and Desus & Mero. i already watched NXT UK this afternoon. it was really good.
the New York Rangers play tonight in Philadelphia. i'd love to see the Rangers end their losing streak tonight.
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.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.

Manchester United defeated Chelsea yesterday 2-0. Ole absolutely owns Frank Lampard. United got pretty lucky yesterday with VAR, but i'll gladly take it. now, they are much closer to the top 4 and certainly have given themselves a chance to have a decent season after all.
mom wanted Pizza Hut for lunch yesterday. she likes their wings. i don't mind the pizza.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.
The New Pope was excellent last night.
McMillion$ was very good last night.
Desus & Mero showed their interview with David Letterman in its entirety last night. BRILLIANT!
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be We Are the Dream: The Kids of the Oakland MLK Oratorical Fest and WWE Backstage.
the Dayton Flyers play tonight at VCU. Dayton is up to #5 in the polls now, so the target on them is as big as ever. hopefully the boys can get out of there with a victory tonight.
Drew Brees announced he's coming back to the New Orleans Saints next season. that should start the dominoes to fall in NFL QB free agency.
i did go to the bank today to make a deposit. the Office Depot near the bank is closing. everything in the store is 50% off. so, i know where i will be going tomorrow most likely. depending on the weather of course.
i finally got to see most of The Last Jedi last night. i probably need to watch it again before i really give my thoughts on it. i was trying to watch it at 3 in the morning as my body was starting to collapse from exhaustion.
until tomorrow kids, i still have trash to pick up...

i had to drive out to my mother's ATM, which is about 15 minutes away or so. anytime i drive, the pinched nerve in my right arm goes crazy. and sadly, there isn't a damn place where i can put it where it won't throb. on top of that, the skies were darkening, so my arthritis was jumping for joy. and on these kind of days, my back pain is just a constant reminder that i earned this pain. of course, mom wanted Taco Bell for lunch today. that was fun sitting in that line for almost 30 minutes. joy.
the New York Yankees won last night at Baltimore, 9-6. hopefully, they will win again tonight.
the series finale of Divorce was okay. i expected a little bit more from it, but it just had the feeling that everyone was tired of the show.
Monday Night Raw was really good last night. i thought it did a great job setting up SummerSlam this weekend.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, Deadliest Catch, Miz & Mrs. and Hard Knocks. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after i figure out what poems i'm sending where. if all goes well, that will happen in the morning.
i didn't get out of bed today until after 10 this morning. i wish i could say i was sleeping that entire time, but that's not fucking true. with no music or a fan on as background noise, it's back to talking myself to sleep. and since i got the dates for my 25th high school reunion, all those faces are now showing up in my dreams. good times.
i've got trash to pick up here and next door, so that's all for me kids.
until tomorrow...

i often joke about how i will sleep when i am dead. today is one of those days when it is no fucking joke. i got to bed at 5 this morning and was up a little after 9. took mom to her 2 appointments today, wrote 11 poems while waiting at physical therapy and now i'm trying to get a blog done before wrestling comes on. i figure at some point, exhaustion will set in. or maybe not.
the New York Rangers lost yesterday at Pittsburgh 6-5. it was an entertaining game, and i couldn't give two shits if the Rangers win or lose anymore this season. my mind is more fixed on who are they going to trade at the trade deadline 7 days from now.
WWE Elimination Chamber was really good last night. i love who they made the first female tag team champions. i love that Finn Balor won the Intercontinental championship. i love that The Miz and Shane lost the Smackdown tag team titles, and i absolutely loved Daniel Bryan keeping the WWE Championship. Kofi Kingston was amazing again in the main event. and i fucking love that The Man showed up and beat the shit out of Charlotte and Ronda Rousey.
Total Bellas was pretty good last night.
True Detective was great last night. i fucking can't wait for the season finale next week.
Crashing was good last night.
High Maintenance was excellent last night.
Last Week Tonight was fucking hilarious as usual. so happy that the show is back.
Shameless was really good last night, especially the ending.
Black Monday was really, really good last night.
SMILF was better than usual last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
i didn't get to see any of the game, but Manchester United did defeat Chelsea today, 2-0 in the FA Cup. Ole is the first manager to win at Chelsea since Sir Alex. this puts United in the quarterfinals against Wolves. that won't be an easy trip. i do love the response from the team after losing to PSG. next will be a match at home against Liverpool.
it snowed for most of today. thankfully, it didn't really accumulate.
i will be on here hopefully before Dayton plays at Davidson tomorrow. mom has a scan tomorrow that is supposed to take maybe 3 hours or so. this is to check what her MRI showed. i'm hoping it goes well and we don't have a fucking cancer scare to deal with now. good times.
until then kids...

when i watched the weather forecast last night, i was happy i was drinking. this week looks like it is going to be fucking crazy. a chance of rain or snow everyday and the temperatures will range from the 30's to fucking 70 degrees. as i told my mother, time for everyone to get sick again i suppose.
i really enjoyed the NBA All-Star Saturday night shit last night.
the Dayton Flyers did their best to give away the game late last night to Fordham. thankfully, Fordham sucks enough that they didn't want to win. Dayton won 80-70. they play again on Tuesday at home. it's a late start and given that mom has rehab that day, there's a pretty decent chance i won't be going.
the New York Rangers lost yesterday at Ottawa 6-3. good to see they are sticking to the plan. they play today at home against Philadelphia.
Manchester United won yesterday 2-0. they have advanced to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup. next up will be a match in the Champions League.
ROH was excellent last night.
Austin City Limits was great last night.
enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be Celebrity Big Brother, Our Cartoon President, Homeland, The Chi, Here and Now, Divorce, Crashing and Last Week Tonight.

i do plan on doing some poetry work this afternoon after the Rangers game. if i can get some shit lined up today, i will be sending out some poems tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday is even better.

well, i made it through the Dayton Flyers game without coughing a ton or really having any problems. of course, i nearly tripled the amount of NyQuil you're supposed to take last night. i think that did the trick. as for the game...
Dayton came out flat and paid for it. it wasn't long before they were down by 15 points. i feared the worst. thankfully, they cut the lead to 6 by halftime. Dayton came out on fire in the second half and quickly got the lead back. St. Bonaventure kept it pretty close, or i should say their point guard kept it close. he ended up with 35 for the game. Dayton ended up winning the game, 76-72. that puts them back in a first place tie with VCU. i believe they have a 3 game lead on the rest of the league. Dayton plays again on Tuesday against George Mason.
it was great to see Brian Roberts go into the Hall of Fame at halftime of the game today. he's one of the best shooters i have ever seen at Dayton.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of reporting.
NJPW was excellent last night. i could watch Will Ospreay wrestle forever and never get bored.
Real Time with Bill Maher was fucking hilarious last night.

i will probably watch some of the NBA Saturday Night festivities tonight, probably the dunk contest and the 3 point contest.

the New York Rangers play tomorrow at home against Washington. i will probably be on here after the game is over.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
when you watch three teams you live and die with all lose within 21 hours of each other, it makes it nearly impossible to feel good about anything. food tastes like shit. naked women are ugly. all music sounds like babies dying. and being the crazy fucker i am, i find it hard to believe that i manage to handle the losses as well as i do. of course, if i lived alone and was still on the farm, it probably would be a different story. i most likely would be calling someone for bail money.
when i saw Sam Miller take an elbow to the face last night from a Saint Joe's player and the refs didn't call a foul, even after watching the video, i knew that Dayton had no fucking chance to win last night. it didn't help help that they were once again playing without Kendall Pollard. Dayton couldn't cut the lead any closer than 5 down the stretch and eventually lost 79-70. thankfully, they haven't lost two games in a row in a long time. they play at home on Saturday.
the New York Rangers actually scored some power play goals last night. but, in a cruel trick from the hockey gods, the Rangers penalty kill was god fucking awful last night. Chicago scored 3 power play goals and beat New York 5-3. they will hopefully get that loss out of their system tonight when they play at Toronto.
and that brings me to Manchester United. when i saw the manager said that he'd rather win the FA Cup than the Europa League, i feared that the team would assume his stupid fucking attitude. sure enough. it didn't help that David de Gea got hurt in pregame warm-ups. i'll give Sergio Romero credit though, if he didn't make some of the amazing saves he made today, United would have lost by 5 or 6 goals. still, losing to a team from Denmark that most fans in Denmark don't even know is beyond a fucking embarrassment. i guess i'm supposed to be happy that United scored an away goal. at this point, who the fuck cares. United plays in the FA Cup on Monday and then has the return leg of the Europa League at home on next Thursday. two more losses and i hope to fucking god that the manager and the fucker that hired him are... relieved of their duties. i almost typed something that would have probably got me arrested. good times.
thank fucking god that NXT and Lucha Underground were great last night.
enjoy some music kids:

i'm not sure when i'm going to be on here tomorrow. i need a fucking haircut, i have poems and bills to mail out and if the Rangers lose again tonight, i will probably have to do something "stupid" to myself to end the fucking losing voodoo going on. i can't imagine why i'm still single at 40.
i got some FREE music on NoiseTrade today. i will post the links in the music section.
that's all for me kids. i want to get a shower in before the cuss words start flying during the hockey game.
