now it gets interesting...

 mom did me no favors by staying up all night. i was hoping to get the grocery shopping done and be back here, etc. etc. instead, she fell asleep when i woke up this morning at 6:30 AM. she thinks she might have cancer. she also thinks she is dying. fun times.

here are your videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

the Yankees lost yesterday at Detroit, 5-0. hopefully, they will avoid the sweep today.

i went to Meijer last night to get some things that they carry and Kroger doesn't. i took the grocery list with me, so i don't have much to get today at Kroger.

i also got some baseball cards while i was there. amazingly, found two rookie cards that are actually good.

i see Orange Hitler is trying to find a legal way to deport American citizens. the ACLU lawyers are going to be busy as fuck the next 4 or however long that asshole decides he wants to stay in office.

up early on a Saturday...

 i got up pretty early this morning. i am always hyped up when this week comes around every year. the Ohio State vs. Michigan game always has meant something to me. for too much of my damn life, it has meant bitter losses. i am really hoping, and fuck it, expecting, this year to be different. i know if it isn't, Ryan Day will be job seeking and who knows what this team looks like next season. a win today puts Ohio State in the Big 10 championship game against Oregon. 

Smackdown and NXT Level Up last night were really good. i can't wait for Survivor Series today.

the Yacht Rock dockumentary last night was great.

we got some snow yesterday. hell, i woke from a nap and looked outside and it looked like a fucking blizzard. 

i did get my Christmas shopping for mom done last night. i had used my Capitol One Visa so damn much this year that i had enough points to get all of her gifts for FREE.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Everton in the morning.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

 so, the Yankees actually got some decent pitching last night and the offense finally woke the fuck up. they won Game 4, 11-4. tonight, if they win Game 5, they will be the first team ever to go down 3-0 in the World Series and force a Game 6. i hope they show the same fight tonight.

Manchester United won today in the Leagues Cup at home over Leicester, 5-2. amazing, get rid of ETH and suddenly they remember how to score and have fun. they will face Tottenham in the next round.

NXT was awesome last night.

The Voice was very good last night.

well, i wasn't expecting to wake up to this...

 so, i woke up this morning and looked at my phone. i normally see a text reminder to make by pill, etc. this morning, the first thing i saw was Manchester United had fired Erik ten Hag. Ruud van Nistelrooy has been named the interim manager. i know i said in the blog yesterday that some would blame the West Ham loss on ETH, i didn't figure it would be the owners and the board. my best guess is that Ruud will be the coach for the two games this week and then, if reports are true, they are going to hire Ruben Amorim as the next manager. he is currently the manager of Sporting CP in Portugal. i think they partly want to hire him so Manchester City can't. so yeah, my morning went from 0 to 100 really quickly.

the New Orleans Saints lost yesterday at the Chargers, 26-8. thank god i didn't see much of the game.

NXT Halloween Havoc was really good last night.

The Penguin was excellent last night.

when it stops being fun...

 so, i had wanted to get this blog done before Manchester United played this morning. in hindsight, i really wish i would have. unfortunately, i woke up a little later than i wanted and decided, let me actually enjoy breakfast instead of rushing through it. United pissed away chance after chance in the first half. thanks to a shitty penalty call in the second half, they lost to West Ham, 2-1. hard to blame this one on ETH, but i'm sure some will. not the way i wanted to start my Sunday.

the Yankees lost Game 2 last night of the World Series, 4-2, to the Dodgers. they are now down 2-0 in the series. the next 3 games are at Yankee Stadium. if the Yankees don't win Game 3, it will be more than likely a sweep.

Ohio State played like shit yesterday yet managed to beat Nebraska, 21-17. they play at Penn State next week.

the New York Rangers won last night at home over Anaheim, 2-1.

i spent over $200 on groceries today and i somehow saved over $42.  

the Yankees lost last night at Atlanta, 5-0. they will hopefully avoid getting swept tonight. they are currently 60-60 on the season. this is their worst record at this point of a season since 1995.
