sometimes, you have to admit failure...

i got into a fascinating conversation with the muse last night and we started talking about politics. many of you know i hate the politics in this country. but, she said something that kind of hit me. if i really want to see things change in this country, i'm not exactly going about it in a way that can do anything. so, i decided to fuck it and i registered to vote. now, i'll be interested to see if the county actually accepts it. if they do, i'm planning on doing an absentee ballot as i know i would probably kill a motherfucker or two if i actually went to vote. i live in a very, very Republican part of this county. the level of ignorance in this town is fucking amazing. it doesn't shock me that i have lived here since 1997 and i rarely talk to anyone. so, as i told my mother last night, the goal will be to fuck up the system from within.

the muse and i have been trading songs back and forth today. i think we could probably talk for days on end about music and never get bored of each other. hell, maybe one of these days that will actually happen.

the New York Yankees lost yesterday at Boston, 10-2. it was basically a spring training game. the Yankees will host Oakland Wednesday night in the wild card game. the winner will play in the division series against Boston. it's finally time for the playoffs.

the New Orleans Saints won 33-18 against the New York Giants yesterday. it was pretty close until Alvin Kamara took over the game in the second half. the Saints play next week at home against Washington.

The Deuce was really good last night.

Ballers was good last night. that season finale is next week.

the season finale of Insecure was excellent last night.

Last Week Tonight was hilarious as usual.

the 100th episode of Shameless was really good last night.

Kidding was dark and excellent once again last night.

America to Me was really, really good last night. it certainly brought back some memories of when i was the only white kid on the basketball team in junior high.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The Voice. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i have a doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon. i'm hoping to be done with that by the time Manchester United plays in the Champions League tomorrow.

i'm not really looking forward to the doctor's appointment. i know they need to check my numbers for my Type 2 Diabetes and my cholesterol, plus i need a flu shot and my prescriptions refilled. and then there's the laundry list of needing a scan on my left leg to see how much of it is dead. i need a back x-ray to see what the fuck is going on in the middle of my back. if that is as bad as my lower back, i'm fucked. and i'd love to find out what this is on the right side of my stomach. it's internal, so i'm guessing it's nothing good.

and then at some point this week i need to go to the bank, get a haircut, and i need to take mom to the grocery store to bitch out the pharmacist for fucking up her billing. on top of all that, the landscaper is going to start that project this Wednesday i believe.

there's never a dull fucking moment when you're crazy. never forget that kids.

i'm hoping to talk the muse into a plan to take over the world one day. if she says yes, this world will never be the same.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. hard to fucking believe it's already October.

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

hello October

i keep my television on when i'm falling asleep. a little noise tends to help me dream. my television turns off after 4 hours. it's never a good thing when i wake up and it's still on. this morning was one of those. apparently it rained overnight. i checked the rain gauge this morning and it was well over 1 inch. if it doesn't rain again before the weekend ends, i guarantee some asshole will be out here mowing grass.

the New York Yankees played like a team that has nothing to play for and was being forced to play in the fucking rain last night. they lost 8-1. sadly, Baltimore's magic number is now 2, so there's a likely chance they will be celebrating on the field one of these last two days.

i didn't watch much of the college football game last night as Washington destroyed Stanford, 44-6.

NJPW was excellent last night.

High Maintenance was very funny last night. i imagine if i would have been high, a complete episode told from the perspective of a dog would have been fucking hilarious.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live, ROH, Austin City Limits and Deadpool.

Ohio State plays Rutgers this afternoon. hopefully, they used the bye week to rest and get ready for the Big Ten schedule.

i will be watching the game tonight between Clemson and Louisville. that should (hopefully) be a great one.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays. they play really early in the morning tomorrow.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. take it easy and then take it again.

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

it seems weird to not be watching the crops this time of the year

when i was driving mom back home last night, we had to take some back roads due to an accident. she had no clue where i was going and i explained to her given the amount i would drink and drive in my 20's, i needed to know every back road in order to get away from the police... just in case. as we drove, i noticed some of the fields were being harvested. it totally feels weird to look out the windows and not see the fields of corn and soybeans being harvested. i guess the move after 18 years on the farm is slowly sinking in. i suppose the first Thanksgiving and Christmas here will really sink it in fully.

i got back from picking up mom in time to watch most of the second half of the Manchester United game. i was very pleased with the win and how they did it. coming from behind and being strong in possession while hanging on for dear life after getting the lead. the winning goal was a very good one.

that flip from Juan Mata was pure brilliance. now every team in the group is tied at 3 points. this is a group that will most likely come down to the last game. United next plays on Sunday against Arsenal as they try to stay on top of the Premier League.

NXT was very good last night. some really good matches and a wonderful build up to the next Sasha Banks vs. Bayley match on October 7th.

You're The Worst was excellent last night. it seemed like just a normal great episode until the ending. the ending was so out of the blue that i can't wait to see where the next episode goes.

the New York Yankees left a small village on base last night while pissing away yet another chance to make the playoffs. they lost to Boston 9-5 in 11 innings. due to losses from other teams, the magic number is down to 1. i really don't want them to back into the playoffs, but i'm pretty sure that's how it will happen. not sure if mother nature will allow the final home game to be played tonight or not. the east coast certainly looks like nothing but rain. and of course the Yankees last 3 games of the season are in Baltimore. chances are i won't watch much tonight if there is a game. it's too fucking painful to watch these days.

time for some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

the New York Rangers won last night 3-2 over Boston. The King certainly looks ready for the season to start. i'm really interested to see who will be the final cuts from the team. there really aren't any easy decisions for the coaches or the general manager.

on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of Married. i believe it's a two episode finale. i will most likely be watching the NFL game tonight between the Steelers and Ravens. i have a couple fantasy guys going in that.

mom wants to go to the grocery store after her calls this afternoon, mostly because it's supposed to rain all tomorrow here. i figure that makes sense, plus we certainly do need to stock back up. hopefully my brain will be firing while i'm there. i wouldn't mind having something i just have to write about when we get back home.

well, that's all for me today. i need to eat some lunch and go see if the mail is here. i hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the day. if not, there should never be a glass of something "special" that far away from you.

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

and here comes another month of...

i was up pretty late last night fucking around with my fantasy football teams. i figure since i have had no luck at all with waivers this year, i would just wait until afterwards and just pick through what was left. so i have new kickers and defenses. hopefully that makes a difference in the next few weeks. i need to get on a nice long winning streak if i want this season to be something other than pure failure.

and to tempt insanity some more, i picked a league for fantasy hockey. that will be interesting since i will actually be attending some NHL games this year and i don't have a smart phone to make some last second changes with the team. i'll have to find out all the good sources for this upcoming season.

speaking of hockey, the Rangers lost last night. i do love that Anthony Duclair scored yet again. this 19 year old is basically forcing himself on the team. they would be crazy to send him back to juniors. hopefully they realize that by now. the kids in this system are amazing so far. i really feel like the time is right for the Rangers to win it all again. hopefully sometime before i die.

i did catch some of the baseball game last night. the playoffs just aren't the same without the Yankees. but, what a fucking choke job by the A's last night. i would congratulate the Royals on the win but i'm old enough to remember the wars between the Royals and Yankees, so that's not going to happen. i doubt i watch much of the game tonight.

mom wants to go out to dinner and to the store. so i'm assuming that is what is going to make up most of my Wednesday night. good times.

The Voice was pretty good last night. i did like the last guy that went to Adam's team. i told mom that was going to happen so all the coaches would have two spots left for next week. i've watched too many damn reality shows. i'm producing the damn things in my head now.

i did a little poetry work today. i think i know where i'm sending my next round of submissions. if all goes well, that will happen sometime tomorrow.

i had to change the water filter down in the cellar today. first time i had changed it since they fixed everything. it was a little different but not that bad. of course, when mom saw dark water in the toilet i figured i fucked something up. so far, so good on that account. i think the well pump is so much better than our last one that we're getting everything to come up. and i mean everything. i figure as long as the water coming out of the faucet isn't dark, we're fine.

i heard back from the doctor's office today about my blood tests. everything is good. i laughed and told my mother that i'm once again proving the odds wrong. i'm a healthy fat person. a throwback to the old days. sadly, i'm poor like the old days as well.

now that i've got my shower out of the way, i guess i could go into town and get the mail and paper. the only time either one of us have been out of the house today was to feed the cats. we had a damn fog here this morning that didn't burn off until noon. it was like some creepy horror movie. fuck it, i'll just wait until we go to the store.

i was shocked when i saw i was well over 2,000 LinkedIn followers today. now if all of them would just buy something...

that's all for me today. i'll be on here sometime tomorrow. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

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