a bad back and a crowded grocery store, oh joy...

 i have had a bad back for most of my adult life. so, i know the little tricks of how to cope with it. there are certain days though, where it doesn't fucking matter. today was one of those days. i couldn't get it loose or feeling good, but i knew that the grocery shopping had to get done. so, the joy of good pain tolerance is you just fucking power through shit and face the consequences down the line. if it means i die sooner than expected, i'm cool with that, given my current situation in life. of course, shit changes as well.

the New York Rangers had their asses handed to them last night, losing at home to Carolina, 6-1.

NXT was very good last night.

Inside the NFL was good last night.

Name That Tune was hilarious last night.

Hard Knocks was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and I Can See Your Voice.

the Dayton Flyers start A10 play tonight at Davidson.

i did get to the bank today. that went pretty smoothly. the grocery shopping wasn't too bad, other than my back. but, i did manage to get everything on the list and save over $40.

i need to go figure out dinner and get the trash picked up.

i should be on here tomorrow after the USA plays Finland in the World Juniors.

until tomorrow kids...

 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.

Monday Night Raw was really good last night.

the New York Knicks won yesterday over Phoenix, 102-83.

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.

 so, the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at home against Carolina, 18-10. they actually scored a touchdown, their first since December 12th. the defense once again was great for the most part. the scenario to get in the playoffs is pretty easy next week. the Saints have to win at Atlanta and the 49ers have to lose to the Rams.

the New York Rangers won yesterday at home against Tampa Bay, 4-0. they play tonight at home against Edmonton.

Dexter: New Blood was excellent last night. the season finale is next week.

Yellowjackets was crazy last night.

just enough rain to realize god hates you and always has...

it started to rain last night. by the time i got home from the grocery store this afternoon, it was still raining. i tried the new CBD cream my sister got me for Christmas last night. it worked, but of course the smell got to my mother. it never fails. i have no choice but to be fucking miserable to live. joy.

the USA lost to Finland yesterday 1-0 at the World Juniors. it wasn't the result i was hoping for, that's for sure. but, the streak of medals was going to end sometime.

the Dayton Flyers whipped La Salle last night, 84-58. part one of the Philly curse is over with. part two comes Sunday at Saint Joseph's. they haven't won there in almost 20 years.

the New York Rangers lost to Calgary last night, 4-3. when you give up a shorthanded goal when you're on a 2 man advantage, you should lose.

late last night i listened to the latest podcast from Notsam Wrestling. you can find that by going here:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

what pissed me off the most today was shit i was looking for at the stores weren't there. it happened at all 3 places i went to today. and i had to get gas today as well. thankfully, i had $1 off a gallon for that. that helped big time since i was damn near empty.

i did get a new coffee mug for myself today:

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

i'm going to try to be on here before Manchester United plays Wolves tomorrow in the F.A. Cup. in case i'm not, here is a preview:

i think my big task this weekend will be taking the Christmas shit down and probably getting my laundry done.

i do plan on being on here before the NFL playoffs start tomorrow.

and i'll probably be checking the internet for the results of the big NJPW events this weekend. sadly, i won't be to see them now that AXS TV has dropped NJPW from its lineup, fucking assholes.

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

at least the sun was out today

i love when a random conversation with a stranger turns into realizing it's suddenly 4 in the morning and you should be asleep. i'm trying to guard against my usual habit of falling way too quick with these things, but i did pick up some really awesome vibes from this one. so, fingers are crossed.

Manchester United won 2-0 yesterday over Newcastle. i love the fact that they finally kept a clean sheet. and, they keep on winning.

i didn't watch much of the New York Rangers game last night. i kept track of the score and they never gave me a reason to turn back. the Rangers lost to the Penguins, 7-2. oh well.

i did watch all of the USA vs. Czech Republic game last night at the World Juniors. team USA won 3-1. they will now face Russia on Friday in the semifinals. winner will play for a gold medal. the other semifinal will be between the two upset winners yesterday, Finland and Switzerland. to think that Canada and Sweden are already out of this is crazy. but, that also opens up the road for the USA to bring home a gold.

The Masked Singer last night was fucking crazy. mom got Antonio Brown right from the start. this is going to be one of those shows where i can simply turn my brain off and enjoy.

NXT was a recap of how amazing 2018 was.

both episodes of NXT UK were really good yesterday.

205 Live was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon and Gotham.

i did listen to episode 219 of Notsam Wrestling today. you can find that by going here:

the trip to the bank was a good one. the one woman that works there that has showed up in some poems was working today. that was another stroke of good fortune for me.

mom wanted me to go to get money from the ATM of her bank, a good 20 minutes or so from my bank. so, my afternoon was spent driving. i picked up some lunch for us on the way home. she's been pretty dizzy today. i don't know if it's the weather or stress or what. i've told to just lounge in the chair or the bed and just calm it down. hopefully that works. i need to make sure she writes all this down as well so the doctors know what's going on.

the plan for tomorrow is to get this blog done in the morning. i then need to get the grocery shopping done before the USA plays Russia at 4 in the afternoon. i want to have a clear head for that one.

hope everyone is doing good. until tomorrow boys and girls.

yet another reason to hate people

well, i certainly wasn't expecting to be at the doctor's office for as long as i was today. my appointment and everything went smoothly. i really like the new doctor. his medical assistant is very easy on the eyes and the overall vibe i got was massively better than my old doctor. most of my time at the office was sitting around waiting for mom to get done. it turns out that the old doctor and his assistant had filled out none of my mom's disability paperwork. paperwork that she had been calling about since November. so, this new doctor made sure mom was there while all of it got filled and faxed. so, needless to say, i believe we both have found a new doctor that is actually good at what he does. he's putting me on a stronger pill for my arthritis and he told me if you don't notice any improvement, call me and we'll try something stronger. my A1C number was the same as 3 months ago. that made me very happy as i was afraid all the sweets during the holidays was going to be my undoing. he told me if that number is the same or better when i see him again in April, he'll start scaling back the medicines i'm taking for my type 2 diabetes.

after the doctor, i took mom to the store. we just needed some milk, eggs, bread, shit that couldn't wait until when i go on Friday. of course, we got a few others things as well.

after that, it was an ill-advised stop at Wendy's for an incredibly late lunch. the thing i hate about fast food where i live is over 70% of the fucking time, unless you sit there and open up each sandwich, there's a good fucking chance your order will be wrong. sure enough, i got home and knew when i saw what the sandwiches looked like while still wrapped, i didn't get what i ordered. it's funny, i go one town over to the fast food places where there are nothing but black workers and the order is never wrong. hmm...

Smackdown was pretty good last night.

205 Live was pretty good last night as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Total Divas and The X-Files. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Chicago. hopefully they can get another victory.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at home against St. Bonaventure. i'm not going to the game as i really don't want to sit there and watch them get killed. i can do that at home on the television and easily just flip the fucking channel. it won't be pretty tonight.

team USA defeated Russia last night 4-2. i think this is the first time in 8 years that Russia won't be playing for a medal at the World Juniors. team USA plays tomorrow in the afternoon against Sweden. if they win, they will get to play for a gold medal against the winner of Canada vs. Czech Republic.

i'll be on here tomorrow after my eye doctor's appointment. unless that takes forever and then it will be after the USA vs. Sweden game.

getting back in the groove

so that wild hair did get up my ass again today and i did a little poetry work. i sent out 17 poems today. 2 to Tuck Magazine and 5 each to Your One Phone Call, Because Eileen and Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

team USA got up 2-0 against Switzerland last night and you could see they were already thinking about playing Russia. it's a good lesson for kids to learn and it is easier to teach when you win. Switzerland controlled pretty much the rest of the game. if it wasn't for the USA's power play, they probably wouldn't have won 3-2. they will have to play much better if they want to beat Russia again in the semifinals. if they win, they will play for the gold medal against the winner of Canada vs. Sweden. if the USA loses, they will play for the bronze medal.

Monday Night Raw wasn't bad last night. that doesn't mean it was good either. i do like the fact that they are pushing Braun Strowman as much as they are. the main event scene definitely needs some fresh blood. the last man standing match between Braun and Sami Zayn last night was booked perfectly. that was probably the only thing on the show that was.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Smackdown. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Buffalo. hopefully they will extend their winning streak.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight on the road at St. Bonaventure. the two injured players made the trip, so i'm hoping they might actually play. the team will need them.

today has been another gloomy one. more fog, more rain, more blah. i still have the trash to do here and next door and of course it's raining again. good times.

that's all for me kids. i'll be on here sometime before the USA takes on Russia. it might be a short one tomorrow as i have to take mom to her next doctor's appointment at 6:45 in the morning on Thursday. so i might actually have to get some sleep tomorrow.

sometimes the mood controls you

i was watching the New York Rangers piss away chance after chance last night and decided to just turn on some music. but instead of my usual mix of metal, rock, death metal and more rock, i decided to go back to my high school roots and play some R&B, hip hop, techno, etc. if i would have had a joint, it would have almost been a perfect evening. that is, if the Rangers would have ever scored.

the Rangers had 40 shots on goal last night. i have Florida's goalie on my hockey fantasy team, but decided not to use him as i didn't want to watch my Rangers lose but feel good that my fantasy team did well. my mistake. it's not that the shutout (3-0) would have helped me in fantasy hockey, but it certainly wouldn't have hurt. the Rangers just can't seem to put it all together game after game after game anymore. i think it might be time for a trade just for the sake of making a trade. wake the players up so to speak. who knows, but this is quickly becoming a season of what could have been.

thankfully, Austin City Limits was fucking amazing last night. i absolutely love Alabama Shakes. it's definitely one of the bands that makes me believe that great music still exists in the world. i've been torn on Vintage Trouble over the years. after watching them last night, i'm sold. i went on NoiseTrade and got the sampler and will now be a fan. this will hopefully be an episode that stays on my DVR for years.

ROH was excellent last night as well. it was really good to see Stevie Richards wrestling again. plus, they almost sold me on getting the NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 10 tonight. but, i really don't feel like sitting at the computer at 3 in the morning watching wrestling. plus, i would probably prefer to listen in Japanese. but lord knows i will check the results when i wake up and probably be pissed that i missed the "match of the year" between AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

the New Orleans Saints finish their season off today at Atlanta. if they win, they will avoid a 10 loss season. the game doesn't mean anything other than pride today. so the Saints will probably lose.

not sure which games i'll be watching today. most likely the Jets as mom will be most interested in that one.

i think i may do some writing tonight or maybe some more work for my next YouTube video. there's really nothing i'm planning on watching tonight, so i won't have any distractions other than a football game.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday night. hopefully your Sunday will be even better. there's a chance it might snow here tomorrow, so look out for some pictures possibly. i know i really should take one of the Christmas lights we have up before i'm ordered to take them down. i'm more of the fucker that would just leave them up all year. you know, the asshole with a Christmas tree on his front porch.
