wasn't expecting rain this morning...

 i had a cramp in my leg this morning at 5 AM. between that and the rain overnight, joy...i was hoping to get up early and feed the birds this morning as we're supposed to have storms tonight. oh well.

the USMNT tied Jamaica last night, 1-1, in the Gold Cup. considering the USA trailed for most of the game, salvaging a point out of it was better than what i was expecting.

the New York Yankees won yesterday at home against the Texas Rangers, 1-0. hopefully, they can win the series today. 

AEW Collision was excellent last night.

i did catch a little of the MLS games last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice and The Righteous Gemstones. i will hopefully (weather permitting) be watching AEW Forbidden Door tonight on ppv.

i am sure i might watch some of the Gold Cup today, NASCAR and maybe golf if i need a nap.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after mom has her physical therapy. i need to go to the bank and the post office tomorrow morning.

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

until tomorrow kids...

 at least it was just flurries. but, when it happens on a Friday, the brain dead mother fuckers that are out and about are even less attentive than normal. never a good mix for me when i am in pain and someone isn't paying attention. oh well. the bathroom demo went pretty well today. i believe the guy has it down to the studs for the most part. so, i guess on Monday the rebuild will begin. and of course, mom has two appointments next week, so that will throw a wrench into the plans.

so, i had to go to Kroger to get mom's pills today. and then, Rite Aid, to pick up my prescription. and then to the local grocery store around the corner from Rite Aid to pick up some things mom wanted for this weekend.

i just got another text from Rite Aid saying i have a prescription ready. i can't fucking imagine why i am frustrated these days...

the Dayton Flyers play tonight on the road at Loyola Chicago. hopefully, the boys will win.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Edmonton. hopefully, the Rangers will keep their winning streak going.

i guess we have to go to Lowe's tomorrow to get the paint for the bathroom. i should be on here sometime after i get back home.

i need to go get dinner going.

 i wasn't watching last night when the Buffalo Bills player collapsed during the first quarter against the Bengals. i did see the alerts on my phone that the game was delayed at first and then i flipped over to it. i am happy that the league suspended the game. there is no way it should have started back up when a player nearly dies on the field.

team USA defeated Germany yesterday 11-1 to advance at the World Juniors. they will play Canada on Wednesday.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Carolina. i'm hoping the Rangers will find a way to win tonight.

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

i need to go to the bank yet today, finish mom's laundry and hope Rite Aid gets my fucking prescriptions done.

not gambling on anything today. at least not yet, none of the odds look good right now.

finally, a good start to a Sunday...

 so, i got what i guess i can call some decent sleep last night. my arms weren't killing me the entire time. and i got what i needed to get done this morning (put the dishes away, make coffee) in time to watch Manchester United play at Leeds.

when United went up 2-0 by halftime, i was pretty pleased. of course, by 10 minutes into the second half, it was 2-2. thankfully, Fred of all people scored the game winner. Anthony Elanga added in the insurance and United won 4-2.

the Dayton Flyers won yesterday at Saint Joseph's, 74-62.

Celebrity Big Brother was just some of the never before seen moments from this season last night. the season will thankfully be over on Wednesday.

WWE Elimination Chamber was pretty good yesterday. my hunch was correct, as i figured one of the main events of WrestleMania would be Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns, title vs. title. i didn't see the Bobby Lashley injury angle coming, but it makes sense. 

NBA Saturday Night was good for the most part. the dunk contest sort of dragged on, mostly because i think most of the guys were trying to do dunks they can't do. at least Obi Toppin did dunks he knew he could make. and he won, finally.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Celebrity Big Brother, Power Book IV: Force, Billions, Euphoria, The Righteous Gemstones, Somebody Somewhere and Last Week Tonight.

the Daytona 500 is today. i will probably watch a little of that.

the USWNT takes on New Zealand today in their second game of the SheBelieves Cup.

the New York Rangers play today at Ottawa. this is a game the Rangers need to win.

the NBA All-Star game is tonight. i might watch some of that.

i should be on here tomorrow after mom has her physical therapy session.

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

running on 3 hours of sleep...

 maybe this is becoming my new normal for Mondays. going to bed sometime around the sun coming up and being up less than 3 hours later to put the coffee on. and then another power nap in the late morning and boom, tackle the rest of the day. i did go grocery shopping today. i found everything, between two different stores, that i needed to get for Thanksgiving. my sister will be down here tomorrow night. we should have plenty if she brings everything she said she was going to.

so, yesterday was a bit crazy. first off, let me start with the bad news. the New Orleans Saints lost to the Eagles yesterday, 40-29. honestly, it never even felt that close. the Saints play at home on Thanksgiving night against Buffalo. oh joy.

now, some better news. the New York Rangers defeated the Buffalo Sabres last night, 5-4. the wining goal was scored with less than 1 second left in the game. good times.

WWE Survivor Series was pretty good last night. 

the season finale of BMF was good last night.

i should be on here in the afternoon tomorrow, after Manchester United plays in the Champions League. i have no damn clue how they are going to play under Michael Carrick. hell, i can't imagine them being any better, sadly.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

 i wrote 5 poems last night. i have been so completely uninspired these days in regards to my poetry. but, thankfully, the pen still works. i wrote what i believe to be 5 pretty good poems. i did a little work this morning until my back tapped out. i know where my next 16 poems are going. that will hopefully happen tomorrow or Saturday.

i got out this morning and filled the bird feeders. the weather is supposed to be pretty good the next couple of days.

the Yankees got an amazing game from Gerrit Cole last night. 8 innings pitched, 12 strikeouts, no walks and 4 hits. the Yankees won last night over Tampa, 1-0. that was the first series they have won against Tampa since god knows when. they go for the sweep tonight.

AEW was really good last night.

The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night. i got my guess of the Russian Dolls exactly correct.

i hope Manchester United beats the shit out of Liverpool today. that should start in a hour or so, all depending on the protests.

i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to a doctor's appointment. i think she's supposed to have a nurse come out here tonight to check her out. i'm not thrilled that it is supposed to happen at 10 PM.

that's all for me kids.

mom had me go out and get Taco Bell for lunch today. she has talked about her sense of smell leaving the last few days. i asked her if she could actually taste the food. i'm hoping she is telling me the truth when she said yes as i know damn well the two likely signs of COVID-19 are losing your sense of smell and taste.

she's been on a cleaning rampage today. and of course, i will have to listen to her complain about being in pain all tonight. joy.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. if you are religious, don't go to church and hope your church is smart enough to know how to livestream the service. if you aren't religious, hope you enjoy the candy.

stay healthy everyone...

today has been one of those days i feel like i'm stuck in neutral. nerve pain is sort of making me delirious a bit. it's fun to type when it feels like your right arm is being held in a vice. and i just had lunch at 5 PM. these are the days where i wish i could do enough drugs that i would wake up a different person on Friday.

i did watch part 1 of I Love You, Now Die last night. watching some of that home footage was like a punch to the gut. part 2 should be rather interesting tonight as well.

Smackdown was great last night. and i love what they are doing with Kevin Owens.

205 Live was pretty good last night.

Deadliest Catch was crazy last night.

i did watch a little of the All-Star game last night. love that Tanaka got the win and Chapman got the save for the American League. hopefully, that's a sign for good things to come for the New York Yankees in the second half.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, part 2 of I Love You, Now Die, Snowfall and Big Brother. i will watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network. i watched NXT UK this afternoon, it was pretty good.

i guess we're supposed to get some storms tonight and tomorrow. so, i'll probably be in my massage chair trying to sleep or let the ice freeze my spine. that tends to help me with my nerve pain.

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

i have to admit, i didn't expect Manchester United to do well today. and honestly, it was a no-win situation. defeat City and you have handed the Premier League title to fucking Liverpool. lose to City, and you more or less have handed the title to your noisy neighbors. what concerned me the most after 90 minutes was just how fucking far United is behind City in fucking everything. City won 2-0. i'll be slightly shocked if United wins again this season. joy.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

and here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

the New York Yankees tried to piss away a 7-1 lead last night. thankfully, that didn't happen. the Yankees won their 5th game in a row, defeating the Angels, 7-5. hopefully, they can keep on winning with their makeshift AAA lineup more or less. they do get Gary Sanchez back tonight.

The Voice was good last night, though i was sad to see some of my favorites leave the show. of course, i don't know why i ever think a more talented black artist is going to win against a white female when America is voting.

Smackdown was excellent last night. i always love a good Kevin Owens heel turn.

205 Live was really good last night.

Miz & Mrs. was pretty funny last night.

The Jim Jefferies Show was hilarious last night.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

i do plan on watching another Game 7 tonight in the NHL playoffs. and i will check out some of the NBA playoffs as well.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow.

i was up until 5 this morning, chatting with this amazing woman in Colorado that i'd really love to get to know better. of course, she's a bit of an introvert, so this is going to get weird as hell i do believe.

of course, i do love me some weird.

the bones feel like some rain is coming soon, so that's all for me kids.

well, last night sucked...

i was in a pretty good mood yesterday. the poems i sent were well received and i was feeling good. i sent off what i thought was this sweet little note to the muse and next thing i knew, she was jumping down my throat. i do understand her frustration with everything going on with her life, but it once again reaffirmed my widely held belief of myself... my timing with women is fucking horrific. so, probably for the millionth time in my life, i'm back in the friend pile. now, i'm not complaining, i don't have many friends as it is. but, to be 42 and be more single than even single feels is really dragging on me. a little peek behind the curtain for all of you, and this is something i have only revealed in a few poems that haven't been published yet. a few weeks ago i did a little brain expansion through some alcohol and meditation and unearthed a little gem of a conversation i had with my father when i was 7 years old. i quickly realized why i had it buried deep inside of me. this was the time my father called me a failure and told me i would always be one. to think about that and realize my father willingly never spoke a fucking word to me the last 20 years of his life truly hits home these days. and it gets harder to keep going knowing i can't prove that asshole wrong and get to rub it in his face. so now i'm wondering if my subconscious keeps bringing it up thinking of it as motivation for me or is it simply tormenting me. it feels like no matter how much i try to get better or healthier or more positive in my life, the powers that be within me have no fucking interest.

add on some rain, fucking back spasms and everything else in this clusterfuck... i get more amazed each day i don't kill myself. of course, i know if i do that, i have to go somewhere else. killing myself at home would destroy the resale value of the house.

the New York Yankees played like shit last night and loss to Oakland, 8-2. the Yankees lead in the wildcard over Oakland is down to 3 1/2 games. the Yankees are off tonight and start a series in Seattle tomorrow night.

Big Brother was good last night. i fully expect Scottie to get voted out tonight.

NXT was really good last night.

the Mae Young Classic last night was really good as well.

Lucha Underground was good last night.

Mr. Mercedes was excellent last night. that ending was a classic.

i was in a good mood today. i was able to get a little sleep last night. we were able to get everything at the grocery store and get home in time for the Manchester United game. hell, even the mail came before it started raining. too bad Manchester United decided to take a giant shit all over my good mood.

Manchester United was pathetic today, and that's being fucking kind. they were absolutely awful in the final third, not even getting a shot on goal until the second half. Brighton was playing with all the urgency in the world, seeing if they won they will avoid relegation. sure enough, once Brighton scored, they parked the fucking bus and United's listlessness cost them dearly. a 1-0 loss is not the end of the world for United. but, i certainly didn't like how the players were playing, especially since they do have a fucking FA Cup final to play in 15 days.

i just love starting the weekend all kinds of pissed off.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty good last night. the season finale next week should be excellent.

Young Sheldon was good last night. the season finale next looks like it should be good.

Life in Pieces was very funny last night.

Gotham was fucking great last night.

Atlanta last night was probably the most accurate portrayal of middle school i have ever seen on television. easily, the best show going. the season finale next week should be great.
