today was a busy one...

 so, i woke up this morning at a decent time but i had a truly strange fucking dream last night. now, i thought i would be dreaming about when the muse texted me last night and said how she can't wait to kick me in the nuts one day, but instead i was having a dream about various neighborhoods i grew up in and then weaving them together with friends from my childhood. it was like The Outsiders meets Goonies meets some random porn and a soundtrack from Ugly Kid Joe. i woke up at 9:05 and was like what the fuck.


so, i went to Rite Aid today to pick up a prescription. after that, i had to go to Compunet to get some blood drawn. i have a doctor's appointment on Friday. i did my good deed for the day and helped another lady pick up this older lady that had fallen. i got home, iced my back and then took mom to the police station to drop off some old drugs. after that, she wanted to go to Dollar Tree to find some shit. she did find a few things there.


the New Orleans Saints won last night, 20-17. should have been a bigger margin of victory but the Saints played prevent defense for the last 2 minutes and of course, gave up a touchdown late.





i did watch a little of the other game last night as the Steelers beat the Browns, 26-22.





Monday Night Raw was good last night.





















enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Deadliest Catch, Name That Tune, Inside the NFL and Welcome to Wrexham.


the Yankees start a series tonight at home against Toronto. since the Blue Jays are still playing for something, it will be interesting to see if the Yankees feel like playing the spoiler.


i think mom is making some tuna for dinner tonight. i will probably have to help her.


i need to get the trash picked up and figure out the grocery list for tomorrow.


i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done and after Manchester United plays at Bayern Munich in the Champions League.



until tomorrow kids...

fuck war.

the New Orleans Saints play tonight at Carolina. i'll definitely be watching that one. i suppose i will probably flip to the Browns vs. Steelers game at some point tonight.



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


i hope everyone had a great weekend.

what is happiness...

 my mother asked me last night if i was happy. the first thing that came out of my mouth was about as much as i am allowed. this of course started a discussion that i didn't feel like having in the middle of a college football game. given my upbringing and all the shit that came with that, happiness is a relative term. i have ever truly been happy? probably not. do i believe happiness exists? i'm sure it does. she then asked why i'm not happy. and i basically told her, any time i got to a point where i should be happy, something or someone made damn sure to bring me back down. and my most obvious example of this was the first time i ever got paid for something i wrote. the first thing my mother asked me was if i had to use my real name? that infuriated me and still does to this very day. she wasn't happy or proud or anything like that, she was more concerned on what could possibly happen to her professional career if someone connected the dots. and people wonder why i'm fucked in the head. good times.


Ohio State whipped Western Kentucky yesterday, 63-10. that's more like it. they play at Notre Dame next week.




i did watch plenty of college football yesterday.




the Yankees won last night at the Pirates, 6-3.

i'm sure i will be watching plenty of NFL games today. since, the New Orleans Saints play tomorrow night, i'm sure i'll get some napping in during these games as well.


i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. i know i need to get some bloodwork done before i have my next doctor's appointment on Friday. 


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

about what i expected...

 i turned off the Manchester United game this morning against Brighton when United got down 2-0. they ended up losing 3-1. joy.


i did hear from a friend this morning that i hadn't heard from in months. i guess i can stop checking for her obituary now.

AEW Rampage was good last night.

my $1 to win $7,000 bet is already fucked. Atletico Madrid lost this morning, so that blows that up. oh well. i still have a college football bet that is $1 to win $89, so i will have that to root for today.


Ohio State plays at home against Western Kentucky this afternoon. i'd love to see a blowout.



i'm sure i will watch plenty of college football today.



i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow, before the NFL games start.

welcome to the weekend...

 another day where the weather was really good around here. i was able to get mom to her appointment on time. she got all the shots she needed and found what she was looking for at Rite Aid. then, we went to the local grocery store around the corner. first time she had been in there in years. she wanted to get a few things for the weekend. she really appreciated me letting her get out and enjoy the sun a bit. i'm hoping it will help her sleep later tonight.


i did make it to the bank to make a deposit before mom had to go to Rite Aid. thankfully, i made it back with plenty of time to get her there. i once again didn't sleep worth a shit last night.


the Yankees split the doubleheader yesterday in Boston. they lost the first game, 5-0. they won the second game, 8-5. they start a series tonight in Pittsburgh.






i did watch a little of the NFL game last night. the Eagles beat the Vikings, 34-28.



i did check out that Kelce documentary last night on Amazon Prime. it was better than i was expecting.


Big Brother was good last night. unfortunately, Jared is the new HOH, which means this will be another week controlled by his mother.


NJPW was really good last night.


enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and AEW Rampage. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.


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



Ohio State plays Western Kentucky tomorrow. i should be on here before that game starts in the afternoon.

i just played a crazy soccer bet for tomorrow. i put $1 on a ten team parlay that if all 10 teams win, i'll get over $7,000. i could really use that crazy fucking bet hitting tomorrow.

the weather is supposed to be really nice again today, so i am going to try to get outside and take care of the birds.


i had one of my usual bullshit internet greetings in the last few hours. had a woman say hello to me that claimed she was from Ohio but lives in Ghana now. there's the first red flag. the second one, she tells me all about herself and how she is a Christian. and then the third strike, sends me her picture and it is one of a porn star. it never fails. how i just love motherfuckers wasting my time.


i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to Rite Aid.

i hope your day was better than mine...

 so, the muse more or less told me last night if i was younger and lived in a bigger city, she would have happily married me years ago. and then she went on to rehash things from our past that made her feel like shit and i of course had no reply. how do you say sorry for the 1,000th time and have it still feel original? yeah, i'm not sure either. so, apparently since i'm not perfect, a future that actually involves the muse and myself in something more than friendship probably isn't fucking possible. that was just the start of the pain. the arthritis in my let hip decided sometime while i was doing dishes last night that it was going to be the star of the show from now on. it basically has felt that i have been walking with one leg longer than the other. just fucking wonderful. then i did the grocery shopping today. i texted mom to ask her a question. she of course was nowhere near her phone so i never got a response until i was driving home. the lady in front of me at Kroger was running a fucking scam that the cashier fell for. that pissed me off, not that she was running the scam, but that it took 20 minutes longer than it needed to. and then i had to bag my own groceries, which i don't mind. of course, the cashier helped and she fucked up one of the body washes i got, so that bottle is half empty now. joy. a truck nearly ran me off the road on the way home. joy. a lady didn't know how to make a left hand turn, so that almost got me into a fucking accident. i swear, when life gives me lemons, someone else makes sure to piss on them as well. so, i'm really hoping for the ice to work tonight and maybe i'll get more than 3 hours of sleep.


the Yankees won both games of the doubleheader yesterday in Boston. first time they have done that there since 2006. they are currently in a rain delay for tonight's game.






NXT was excellent last night.




















Welcome to Wrexham was great last night.





Deadliest Catch was good last night.

the weather wasn't that bad today. it was cool enough to open up the house and really let it air out.


i guess the company that is doing our kitchen brought the floor sample while i was out grocery shopping. i really love what it looks like. between that and the countertop, that should transform the look of the kitchen.

one for the ages...

 so, i'm still in disbelief after the NFL game last night. with my mom being a huge Jets fan, and so is the muse, i kind of have no choice but to watch the Jets as well. i couldn't believe when Aaron Rodgers got hurt 4 snaps into the season. it was learned this morning that he tore his Achilles tendon. when the Bills got up by 10, i told mom anytime she wanted me to change the channel i would. so, we started watching Monday Night Raw. i kept giving mom updates during Raw and eventually i turned back to the game when the Jets had tied it up. the game went to OT tied at 16. the Bills got the ball first but did nothing. they punted and the Jets returned that punt for a touchdown to win the game. my mom was stunned but very happy when she realized it was one of the guys featured on Hard Knocks that returned it for the TD. absolutely crazy finish to week 1 of the NFL season.







the Yankees got rained out last night so they are playing a doubleheader today in Boston.


Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

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


i did make it to Rite Aid a little after noon today. thankfully, it wasn't busy. i know i will be back there on Friday as i have to take mom to get her second shingles shot.


it has been an on and off drizzle since about 4 this morning so far today. just great.


that's all for me kids. i need to ice my back down and probably get a good nap in.


until tomorrow...

fuck racism.


fuck hatred.

never forget...

 



today is one of those days that is so tattooed on my brain that i never want to live it again but i also can't help but remember damn near everything about it. 


yesterday was one of the crazier baseball games i have ever seen. the Yankees were being no hit for over 10 innings. the game was still 0-0 against the Brewers. the Brewers finally took the lead in extra innings but the Yankees finally got a hit in the 11th and tied the game. the Brewers took the lead in the 12th and the Yankees tied it again. finally, the Yankees won the game in the 13th inning, 4-3. but it wasn't all happy as the Yankees revealed that The Martian has a torn UCL and needs Tommy John surgery. fuck me. they start a series tonight in Boston.






the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at home over the Titans, 16-15. it was kind off odd not having Sunday Ticket anymore. but, i'm sure i will get used to just following the Saints on my phone.



i made a little money last night on the games, thanks to the New York Giants for laying an egg against the Cowboys.



i totally forgot that The Masked Singer was on last night.




Big Brother was good last night.


Heels was really good last night. the season finale is next week.



Billions was great last night.



The Chi was very good last night.



Power Book IV: Force was excellent last night.



enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw. i'll be watching the Jets vs. Bills game for most of the night i imagine.


i did listen to episode 464 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can here that by going here:

the gambler's christmas day...

 i always have thought of the first Sunday of the NFL season as the day all the gamblers start licking their lips and scheming how to make some money. being one of those degenerates now, i like think i have a good plan and i won't get too greedy. of course, if i win a couple hundred dollars today, all bets are off. hell, i don't bet enough to win a couple hundred dollars on any day. honestly, any day i win more than i bet is a good one. those days don't come around much.


Ohio State defeated Youngstown State yesterday, 35-7. i think the QB job should be settled now. and it was nice to see Marvin Harrison Jr. go off once again.




the USMNT defeated Uzbekistan yesterday 3-0. the 2 late goals make the score look way better than what it really was. this looked like what they have always looked like under Gregg Berhalter. just good enough to beat shit teams and never good enough to beat anyone good.





the Yankees lost to the Brewers yesterday, 9-2. they will try to avoid the sweep this afternoon. at least the Old Timer's Day events brought back some good memories.








i did watch plenty of college football yesterday.









here are your MLS highlights from last night:





AEW Collision was excellent last night.
