the day after...

i have never gone out shopping for Black Friday. i'm just not that big of a fan of capitalism to participate. today is no exception. i'm only planning on going out to the grocery store this afternoon because mom has pills that need to be picked up.

i was hoping to get most or all of my Christmas shopping done yesterday, but of course that didn't happen. i usually use my credit card rewards to get gift cards to cover what i will get at Amazon.com for Christmas. well, none of my rewards programs do e-gift cards for Amazon anymore. so, whenever the cards arrive in the mail, i'll have enough to get my shopping done.

if anyone would like to donate some money to me, my PayPal account will gladly accept it.

the Dayton Flyers hung with Virginia for most of the game yesterday. it really pissed me off that Dayton's coach thought his team could out Virginia Virginia and win the game that way. they needed to up the tempo greatly and get Virginia to play faster than they wanted to. instead, he chose the route where Dayton would have to play perfect to win. dumb ass. Dayton lost 66-59. well, at least they beat the spread. Dayton will play Oklahoma later this morning in the 3rd place game.

the New Orleans Saints won last night over Atlanta 31-17. that's 10 wins in a row for the Saints.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be VICE, Room 104 and Mike Judge Presents: Tales From the Tour Bus.

the New York Rangers play this afternoon at Philadelphia. hopefully they can keep their good play going today.

after that is over, i'll be going to the grocery store.

i will probably be on here early tomorrow as Saturday is looking like a crazy sports day for me. more on that tomorrow.

i hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. if you are or already have been shopping today, i hope you find some good deals.

Muy pronto, todas nuestras vidas tendrán un cincuenta por ciento de descuento.

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...

well, i guess i have shopped on Black Friday now...

mom made a purchase online last night from Office Depot. the paper she got for the printer had to be picked up at the store. so, she got the notification this morning that it was ready at the store. we went this afternoon to get that and looked around at some of the other shit on sale. after that, we went to Dollar Tree to find some toys and some new cooking utensils. mom likes to use things until they basically are nothing but shit. she was bitching about having a hard time about getting the beaters out of the hand mixer. i laughed and said the hand mixer is only 40 fucking years old, i can't imagine what the problem is. and all her table and tea spoons are so damn old you can't read what size they are anymore. so we looked for some of that shit and found some good shit, Betty Crocker even. plus, we just found out last night that one of the kids (i guess he's a cousin or something, fuck, i've never met him) likes dinosaurs and i remembered seeing some while we were there at Dollar Tree earlier in the week. sure enough. so, i have finally shopped on Black Friday.

Thanksgiving went pretty well here. everything mom made was good. my sister has not manged to get on my nerves yet. and amazingly, my blood sugar was actually a decent number this morning. maybe i'm figuring this shit out now.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

Life in Pieces was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be two episodes of NJPW.

i'll be watching the New York Rangers take on Detroit for most of the evening. hopefully the boys can get another victory.

i had some tasty leftovers for lunch today and i'm guessing there will be more leftovers for dinner.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow before Manchester United plays. that game will go right into the Ohio State vs. that team up North game at Noon. and since mom and i will be at the Dayton vs. Akron college basketball game tomorrow night, i'd rather do the blog before i could possible be fucking livid to the nth degree.

i did get my copy of Ally Malinenko's new book, Fitting the Ocean in Your Mouth today in the mail. i'm probably going to read a little of that tonight. i told Ally that if i find the time and get the book done before the end of the month, i may try to do a little review of it on here. so stay tuned.

i hope everyone had a good holiday. i hope if you went out shopping either last night or today, you found everything you were looking for. and to anyone reading this in Egypt, i doubt i have any words that could do your sorrow and grief any good.

now that it seems the world has got back to its normal, bloody self, i hope everyone has a great weekend.

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