the snow is coming down...

 it started to snow this morning while we were eating breakfast. i made sausage gravy and biscuits. 

the Dayton Flyers lost yesterday at VCU, 66-43. it was Dayton's worst loss in 3 years. honestly, i didn't watch more than the first 5 minutes of the game and then changed the channel in disgust.

Austin City Limits last night was great. Ray Wylie Hubbard was perfect for the evening.

ROH was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Euphoria, Batwoman and Shameless.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Pittsburgh. hopefully, they can get a win tonight.

i will probably watch some of the NFL games today. the Chiefs play the Bills and Green Bay takes on Tampa Bay.

Manchester United plays Liverpool today in the FA Cup. i hope that United wins and knocks Liverpool out of this.

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

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

until tomorrow kids...

Smackdown and 205 Live were both really good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was great last night.

Painting with John was brilliant last night.

the New York Rangers pissed away a 2 goal lead last night and lost in the shootout to Pittsburgh, 4-3. the two teams play each other again on Sunday night.

my sister really shocked me last night. she got me a ton of gifts for my birthday. she went back through my Amazon.com wish list and selected one thing from every year i have been doing that. so, now in any free time i might actually have, i'll be doing some reading.

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

happy birthday to me...

 so, i turned 45 today. my sister called this morning to wish me a happy birthday and to remind me i'm old. that made me laugh as she is only 18 months younger than i am.

i took mom to her foot doctor today. we got there early and it went pretty fast. he's retiring soon, so she has to go to a new one before too long. after that, we decided to try out this BBQ place on the way home. it had been years since we had been there. they have a drive-thru now, so we decided to do that. i had the brisket sandwich and my mother got some smoked wings. i have to say, Company 7 BBQ has some really fucking good food. 

NXT was really good last night.

AEW was pretty good last night as well.

The Masked Dancer was good last night.

Name That Tune was excellent last night. i think i shocked my mother at how fast i recognized some of the songs.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Young Sheldon, B Positive, The Unicorn, Total Bellas and Cari & Jemele Won't Stick to Sports. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i did watch a good portion of Liverpool losing today. that me really fucking happy.

i figure if i get bored tonight, i'll flip over to some hockey and/or NBA basketball.

i should be on here tomorrow before my sister comes down for the weekend.

thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. i really appreciate it.

one of those days where i'm a little all over the place...

 i found out last night that Gerald Locklin had died over the weekend. he was one of the poets i always admired, ever since i got into this racket in the 90's. i have a few of his books and we had chatted a couple of times over the years. he was my living link to Charles Bukowski in a sense. rest easy old friend, you will be missed and never forgotten.

https://www.presstelegram.com/2021/01/18/gerald-locklin-csulb-teacher-writer-poet-dies-at-79/

my grandmother would have been 109 today. i think she would have enjoyed the inauguration. i did watch some of it, mostly because i wanted to hear Amanda Gorman's poem. she didn't disappoint.

i did get some baseball cards today before i did all the grocery shopping. i bought a couple Fairfield boxes at the local Rite-Aid. i spent less than $10 on them. i did get a numbered hit in one of the boxes. all in all, i probably got close to $25 worth of cards. that put a smile on my face.

the grocery shopping went pretty good today. i'm fucking tired of seeing these assholes with no masks on in the stores. especially this fucking woman today with an infant with her. and i'm the asshole because i hope they catch this shit and die.

the New York Rangers lost last night to the Devils, 4-3. the Rangers had 50 shots on goal. so, it was one of those games where the goalie stole it.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NXT, AEW, The Masked Dancer and Name That Tune.

the Dayton Flyers were supposed to play tonight but their game against George Washington got postponed because GW's coach has COVID. i'm really fucking hoping that Dayton's coach doesn't get it since their last game was against GW.

i did get home in time to watch the Manchester United game against Fulham today. United did what they always do on the road. give up the first goal and then find a way to win. goals from Cavani and Pogba and United won 2-1.

i turn 45 tomorrow. i have no clue what will be in store for me tomorrow. i know i need to get my driver's license renewed, but that's going to wait until it gets a little warmer. i have until July to get it done. i know i have to take mom to her foot doctor tomorrow. i have no clue if we're going out to eat after that or not. i know i'll be on here sometime in the afternoon most likely.

the day today started off with some snow. it actually felt like winter for a few hours.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

wash your fucking hands.

well, my eyes haven't gotten any worse...

 the trip to the eye doctor went fine today. they have this new black woman working there. holy shit, she's fine as hell. i thought they had all the safety protocols down pretty good. thankfully, i wasn't there long. the health of my eyes are good. the changes in my vision weren't enough to get new glasses, which was fine with me. i only had to pay $15 for the eye exam. i stopped by Rite-Aid on the way home hoping to find some baseball cards. no luck.

Monday Night Raw was crazy last night.

i did watch some of the USWNT against Colombia last night. the USA won 4-0.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the New Jersey Devils. hopefully, the Rangers will get a victory tonight.

response from Terror House Magazine...

 i heard back from Matt at Terror House Press on my recent poetry submission. my poems "worth the pain anymore", "that sad sack of life" and "every sense of reality" have been accepted for publication on or around March 4th.

why does misery feel so fucking familiar?...

 i knew there was always a chance that my old friend misery would come to meet me last night. sure enough, misery rested her head on my shoulder and started to laugh. good times.

the New Orleans Saints lost last night, 30-20. just too many fucking turnovers, which Tampa turned into touchdowns. i fully believe that was Drew Brees last game with the Saints. that made me pretty fucking emotional, as i remember all the fucking losing before he got there. but, that's 4 years in a row where i thought they really had a chance to make a run to another Super Bowl. oh well.

Manchester United played Liverpool to a 0-0 draw yesterday. i didn't see the match, but i did see the highlights. it would have been great if United would have won, but i will take the point for sure.

at least the Dayton Flyers did win yesterday. they defeated George Washington, 67-54.

Batwoman was good last night. i was curious to see how they would make the change in the lead role since Ruby Rose left the show. i thought they did a pretty good job of making it work.

Shameless was excellent last night.

Your Honor was crazy fucking good 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'll probably flip over to the NBA or NHL during commercials.

i did listen to episode 326 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can listen to that by going here:

https://omny.fm/shows/notsam-wrestling/wrestlemania-returns-roman-saves-wrestling-dave-la

it has been snowing on and off for a couple of days now. nothing is really sticking, so that's good.

i have my eye appointment tomorrow afternoon. i'm hoping my eyes aren't any worse than they already are.

if all goes well, i should be on here after i get home from that.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

with a little snow falling down...

today is one of those days where i could end up madder than hell or walking on the fucking clouds by the end of it. 

the snow started to fall this morning a little bit after i woke up. i just got the Sunday paper and it's not really sticking too bad. i know the "experts" said we could get 2 to 4 inches of snow today.

the New York Rangers tweaked their lineup a bit last night and it worked. their effort was about 1000% better than their first game. the Rangers won last night, 5-0. 

ROH was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Batwoman, Shameless and Your Honor.

Manchester United plays in a little bit against Liverpool. i won't be able to watch the match since i don't have Peacock, so i'll follow it on my phone. i really hope United finds a way to win today.

the Dayton Flyers play George Washington today on a neutral court. they moved the game from Washington D.C. (for fairly obvious reasons) to the campus of George Mason. hopefully, Dayton can keep on winning.

the New Orleans Saints play this evening at home against Tampa Bay. they will be looking to beat Tom Brady for the 3rd time this year. if they win, they will travel to Green Bay for the NFC Championship game next week.

with tomorrow being a holiday, i will probably be on here early tomorrow.

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

showers at 2 in the morning...

 i took a shower last night at two in the morning. i really needed one, and i was hoping i could get the water warm enough to dull the ache in my bones last night. thankfully, i did get it warm enough that i did feel a little less pain. of course, i didn't get to sleep until almost 5 and i was up this morning at 8:45. good times.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both really good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

i will probably watch most of both NFL playoff games today. first game is the Rams vs. Packers and then the Ravens vs. Bills. hopefully, both games will be good.

i'm sure i'll watch some college basketball today and maybe even get some more damn sleep.

i will hopefully be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays at Liverpool. 

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the Islanders. they can't play any worse than they did in the previous game, so i'm hoping to see a victory, let alone, a much better effort.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. we started the day off with a little snow and ice. thankfully, it has warmed up a little.

snowing in the sunshine...

 the sun was out for a little bit today. right as i pulled into the bank today, it started to snow. by the time i got home from picking up some lunch for mom, it was snowing sideways. none of it really stuck, but i was happy not to be driving in it.

NXT UK was really good last night.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Total Bellas was really good last night.

Cari & Jemele Won't Stick to Sports was hilarious last night.

the New York Rangers lost to the Islanders last night 4-0. honestly, the boys took way too fucking many penalties. add in the nerves from the kids and a few shots a goalie has to save, and you have one fucking night to forget. the two teams play again on Saturday.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Yankees made me very happy today with the signings of DJ LeMahieu and Aaron Judge. now, if they can add some pitching to the team, they should be able to make another run at a title. today is the deadline to get all their arbitration eligible players signed.

i should be on here in the morning tomorrow.

response from Misfit Magazine...

 i heard back from Alan at Misfit Magazine on my recent poetry submission. my poems "a happy child" and "exposed" have been accepted for publication in issue #32 of the magazine, due out in the Spring.

one of those days...

 today was one of those days where i have had to make 4 hours of sleep work for me and just my luck... the adrenaline is starting to fade right before the hockey games come on tonight. good times.

i had to go pick up pills for my mother this afternoon. i always love dropping over $500 on her medicine. earlier today, i had to go to her bank to deposit her check from the government. after i did that, i went to the Rite-Aid right across the street from the bank. i had never been in this one. luckily, they did have a couple boxes of baseball cards there. i spent less than $10 on the cards and there was close to $25 worth of cards in them. that made me happy, especially the blue rainbow foil Zach Britton card i got that is worth around $12.

the Dayton Flyers were trailing last night at halftime against a Duquesne team that totally fucking sucks. thankfully, Dayton started the second half on fire and pulled away to win the game, 72-63.

NXT was pretty good last night.

AEW was pretty good last night as well.

The Masked Dancer was good last night. i did guess the identity of the Moth correctly.

Name That Tune was good last night. i think i probably guessed close to 90% of the songs correctly.

depending on the weather, i should be on here tomorrow after a trip to the bank.

 i'm looking forward to this NHL season. i'm hoping Covid doesn't fuck with it too much, even though it has already fucked the Dallas Stars from starting their season on time. the Rangers start tomorrow night at home against the Islanders. 

i did get all the grocery shopping done today. i stopped by Meijer because i needed some more sheets for the baseball cards. i was hoping to find some baseball cards today but none of the places i went had any. so, i picked up a tin of hockey cards at Meijer. i have never bought one of these tins before. there was 10 packs in the tin plus a bonus back of rookies. other than the rookie cards and a few cool inserts, the best thing about the tin was that Connor McDavid was on the front of it. i won't be buying another one, that's for sure. live and learn.

the Dayton Flyers play at home tonight against Duquesne. Dayton should win this game, but i won't believe until i see it. i have learned my lesson already this season.

i made my eye appointment for next week. i believe it's next Tuesday afternoon. i wanted to get it done before my birthday. i need to get my license renewed as well, but i can't imagine what kind of shit show is going on at the DMV. i know Ohio has given us an extra 6 months to get this kind of shit done, so i think it's going to depend on the weather when i happen to go. and considering they are talking about snow this weekend, no fucking chance i'll get that done before my birthday most likely.

i'll be turning 45 in 8 days. any of you are more than welcome to go to my Amazon.com wish list and get me something if you so desire. i do have shit on there under $5 by the way.

no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. it should be long before the Rangers play tomorrow night.
