finally got that extra hour of sleep

and now i feel groggy. figures.

i just watched the Aaron Boone press conference. hard to believe he's only the 3rd manager the New York Yankees have had since 1996. i hope the best for him. if he's the right guy for the job, they have all the makings of another dynasty.

the New York Rangers found a way last night and defeated Pittsburgh 4-3. the Penguins hit the post 4 times and the winning goal went in off of one of their players. that's the beauty of puck luck. The King was ill last night, so his backup had to play. 41 saves later, i think he did a fine job.

when Manchester United fell behind yesterday against CSKA Moscow, i was not happy. you could tell the United players truly didn't give a shit. thankfully, that attitude changed in the second half. it's been years since they have trailed at halftime and come from behind to win. this win gave them a group win and their most points in the Champions League in years. i'm hoping they get a good draw and actually have a decent chance to advance in the knockout rounds. and i'm hoping yesterday's 2-1 win serves them well this weekend in the Manchester derby.

Drop the Mic was pretty good last night.

i was not surprised with the two that got voted off The Voice last night.

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 and Total Divas. i'll watch NXT on WWE Network when i get home from the basketball game sometime tonight.

it looks like i will be going to the basketball game alone tonight. it's probably for the best as mom's Meniere's Disease has really been fucking with her lately. Dayton takes on Tennessee Tech tonight. if they don't win this game, i know i need to brace myself for one long ass season.

i think i will probably get up early as fuck tomorrow so i can start working on the poems and get them all out in the morning. if that happens, i might just get all the fucking Christmas cards and gifts for my friends and fans done in the afternoon. and if that all happens, i'll be on after that to write a blog. of course, the weather could turn to shit, my arthritis could decide to fuck me in the ass and i could just say fuck it and do nothing. welcome to my life in December.

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

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

one of those big Saturdays...

today is one of those sports days where i will busy pacing the house, mumbling to myself, louder than i should be, angry as fuck at times and hopefully drinking my ass off at the end of the night.

before i get to that, a quick recap of last night...

when the New York Rangers got scored on 1 minute into the game last night, i thought oh fuck, here we go again. thankfully, that wasn't the case. The King shut the door from there on and Carolina's goalie opened it wide open for the Rangers. throw in a hat trick from Michael Grabner and the Rangers went on to win 5-1. that's a good response to their last loss. they have the weekend off and play next on Tuesday at Pittsburgh.

NJPW was excellent last night.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

i was a little surprised when the news broke last night that the New York Yankees were going to hire Aaron Boone to be their next manager. i have no damn clue how he's going to manage as he has no experience doing the job. but, he does come from a baseball family. and i remember the exact spot i was standing when he hit the home run back in 2003 to send the Yankees to the World Series. hell, i still remember what i said to my mother before the at bat... maybe this is when he becomes a Yankee. this is easily the biggest gamble Brian Cashman has ever taken as the Yankees general manager.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live, ROH and Michelle Wolf: Nice Lady.

Manchester United takes on Arsenal this afternoon. this is a big one. if United can manage to get a win today, they will at least keep their hopes of finishing in the top 2 of the league alive. a loss will muddy the waters greatly.

Ohio State takes on Wisconsin tonight for the Big 10 Championship. i'm not one of those Buckeyes fans that believe if Ohio State wins they are going to make the final 4. although, i would love to see it happen.

best of luck to Trotwood tonight as they try to win the Division III State Championship in football. i think i'll be able to find the game online. it's on at the same time that Ohio State is. so i might have to do some multitasking.

i know at some point this afternoon mom wants to go to the store as she forgot to ask me to get some ointment for her. the fact that she wants to come along means something else i'm sure. either that or she doesn't think i'll get the right one.

and on top of all that today, i probably should start figuring out where the fuck i'm going to send poems to next week. and on top of that, i should figure out which ones of my friends and fans are going to get what this Christmas.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
