the calm before the storm...

 so, as i was struggling to fall asleep last night, i saw the national weather service put out a winter storm warning for where i live. from Sunday at 10 AM to Monday at midnight. 5 to 9 inches of snow. well fuck me. i doubt mom goes to her appointment with her foot doctor on Monday.

Smackdown was excellent last night.

Inside the NFL was really good last night.

i did write 3 poems last night. 2 for the book and 1 for the general file. so far, i do like that i have been able to come up with something every night of 2025. fingers crossed.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Collision.

the Dayton Flyers play today at George Washington.

the New York Rangers play at the Capitals today.

team USA takes on Czechia tonight at the World Juniors. winner will play for gold, loser will play for bronze.

i will probably watch some of both NFL games today. Browns at Ravens, Bengals at Steelers.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i hope the weather is warmer where you are.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

running behind...

 i've been running behind all day today. but, i did get everything done, for the most part. Rite Aid had all my prescriptions ready, thankfully. two of them must have been ready before the new year as they cost me nothing. i never got the text saying they were ready, joy. i did find everything that was on the grocery list. couldn't keep it up under $100 at Kroger this week though. 

the New York Rangers won last night at home over Carolina, 5-3. that ended Carolina's long winning streak.

NXT was excellent last night.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and Hard Knocks.

the Dayton Flyers play at home tonight against Saint Joseph's. Dayton is 14 point favorites, so they should win.

team USA plays Canada tonight in the World Juniors semifinals. the winner will play Czechia for the gold tomorrow.

the New York Knicks play tonight at home against San Antonio.

i believe mom has a nurse visit here tomorrow at noon. so, i should be on here after that is over.

i need to do some writing tonight. i have editors asking for poems, which lets me know, i really need to strike up the band again.

i need to get started on dinner tonight, plus my bad back is killing me. good times.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

first poems of 2022...

 so, i wrote 6 poems today while mom was doing her physical therapy. i typed them up this afternoon before i went to the bank. i think they are pretty good. i would love to write some more as i want to get the first submissions of 2022 out this weekend.

so, i nearly got into an accident today. some stupid fuck decided to run a red light as i was turning into the hospital. thankfully, i was quick enough to hit the gas so the fucker missed my mom's side of the Highlander. as i told her, i'm taking it as a sign i need to start thinning the herd.

the New York Rangers defeated Edmonton last night, 4-1. that put the Rangers at the top of the league after that win. i'm really starting to think something special could be possible this season.

Manchester United lost yesterday to Wolves, 1-0. it was the first time Wolves had won a league game at Old Trafford since 1980.

both episodes of Kenan were pretty funny last night.

That's My Jam was hilarious last night.

Monday Night Raw was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT.

the bank was great today. in and out in less than 3 minutes. of course, it was funny when mom realized yesterday that she hadn't paid me yet.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done. if you see the blog early in the morning, it means my crazy ass has decided that after i get the grocery shopping done i'm going to attempt to go to the Dayton vs. VCU game tomorrow night. i'm leaning against going given i know i will be fucking tired as hell tomorrow. and we are expecting snow for Thursday. and i know if we do get that snow, i'll be the one with the shovel on Thursday.

so yeah, given that the basketball game is on TV tomorrow night, that's the more likely scenario.

i need to get the trash picked up and decide what the fuck is for dinner, so that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the fucking shot.

started off with a little snow...

i tossed and turned all night. the rain this morning finally started to turn over to a little snow. not enough to stick, thankfully. i wanted to have this blog done way before now. arthritis said no. little fucker.

Smackdown was pretty good last night, as was 205 Live.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH and Austin City Limits.

i was hoping to have this done before the Manchester United game started today. thankfully, they are 0-0 in the first half at the moment.

i do plan on watching some college basketball today and college football.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Vancouver. this road trip has sucked so far.

the NFL playoffs start today. the Bills are at the Texans and the Titans are at the Patriots. tomorrow, the NFC teams play.

i will be on here tomorrow before the New Orleans Saints play.

and so it begins...

in what fucking world does anyone believe that a poet has money? honestly, i would love to know if people are honestly this stupid or is there some mystery utopia that i have been banned from? it's starting to drive me fucking nuts and as my mother always says, it's a short drive.

i wrote 10 poems last night. i haven't typed them up yet. the plan was to wake up early this morning and get that done. obviously, that didn't happen. so, i'm guessing i will get that done sometime tonight after i get done watching wrestling.

Vice News Tonight had a couple interesting shows this week.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty funny last night.

Young Sheldon was very funny last night.

Gotham was fucking great last night. i hope the final season is truly amazing.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Colorado. hopefully, the taste of that loss to the Penguins is out of their mouth.

team USA takes on Russia today at the World Juniors. the winner goes to the gold medal game.

hopefully i will be back from the grocery store by the time that game starts.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Reading in the FA Cup.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. pray that one day i will find a woman who doesn't need to believe i have money to give them freely.

my right eye is trying to quit the team

well, had an interesting visit to the eye doctor today. my left eye is exactly the same as my last visit. my right eye is seeking chaos. apparently the vision has gotten a little worse, but nothing alarming. but my cornea is incredibly dry. dry enough that i could tell from the look on the doctor's face, there is no reason for it to be that dry. especially since it's not happening in the left eye. he sent me home with some eye drops and coupons for more eye drops when those run out. he said it should all be better by Spring. great, who the fuck knows when Spring will start around here.

the New York Rangers lost last night to Chicago, 5-2. they are such a fucking frustrating team to watch when they show up and just mail in a game. and Chicago gave them plenty of chances to win the game. the Rangers basically decided they weren't interested. the Rangers play next on Saturday out in Arizona.

the Dayton Flyers shocked the shit out of me last night and defeated St. Bonaventure 72-62. where the fuck has this team been all season? they play at home on Saturday against UMass. Dayton still hasn't won 2 games in a row yet this season. hopefully that will end on Saturday. i have no clue if i'm going yet or not. kind of depends on the weather, how mom is feeling and whether i can find a few hours to do my fucking laundry.

The X-Files completely pissed me off last night. when they revealed that Mulder wasn't the father and that the Smoking Man more or less raped Sully and is the father of the child, i was fucking pissed. i guess the whole fucking show in the 90's was just bullshit then. i didn't see that coming this season, that's for sure.

Total Divas was pretty good last night.

NXT was a recap of 2017 last night. i really enjoyed all the unseen footage from the house shows.

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, Life in Pieces and Will & Grace.

team USA plays Sweden at the World Juniors here in a few minutes. hopefully they win and play for the gold medal tomorrow night.

i'll probably be on here in the morning tomorrow as i have a full day of grocery shopping, laundry, Manchester United playing in the FA Cup and another World Juniors game all on the docket.

i'm off to go watch some hockey and see how well i can put eye drops in my own eyes.

i guess January is back again

there's nothing quite like going outside in the morning wearing a t-shirt and shorts because it was 50 degrees yesterday and then suddenly realizing, oh fuck, it feels like it's 15 degrees now. i made sure to put on some sweatpants when i went back outside to get the trash cans. i guess winter wants to come out and play again. well, all i have to say to that is:

when i saw that Charles Cooke wasn't going to play for the Dayton Flyers last night, i feared the worst. and then i suddenly remembered that St. Bonaventure sucks at guarding the 3 point line. Dayton did a great job on defense and simply found a way last night without their best player to defeat St. Bonaventure 90-74. i was so happy that they won this game. it now sets up a HUGE game against Rhode Island at home on Friday.

i'm not sure what the fuck the New York Rangers were doing last night. it looked like they might have still been enjoying celebrating the new year. Buffalo outplayed them most of the fucking game. the Rangers lost 4-1. they play again tonight in Philadelphia. hopefully they are pissed off and determined to get that shitty taste out of their mouths.

Smackdown was excellent last night. i can't imagine it not beating Monday Night Raw in the ratings again this week. i enjoyed nearly all 2 hours of it.

205 Live was great as well last night. Tajiri being back will be fun. and i'll never tire of Neville just beating the shit out of guys.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lucha Underground and Total Divas. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

team USA takes on Russia this afternoon in the World Juniors. that's the reason i wanted to get this blog done before the game. if the USA loses, i'll be too fucking pissed to do anything.

i did listen to the latest Jim Norton and Sam Roberts podcast today. if you need a good laugh, do yourself a favor and listen to it. you can find it by going here:

hard to believe The Doors debut album came out 50 years ago today.

i'm not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. i do have some things i need to get done (post office, grocery store, bank) and since i'm going to be up before the crack of dawn... if everything goes as planned (i hear the laughter as well), i'll be on here sometime in the afternoon.

a shower can't wash away everything

i was all fired up for the hockey game this afternoon. USA vs. Russia. winner goes to the gold medal game. i had "lucky" clothes on, was in a good frame of mind and the voice was at full force. these are the days where i'm sure my mother wishes she didn't work from home. the USA scored first and had another shot hit the post in the first period. sadly, that would be the last time they would come close to really having a chance to score. size and skill, which was basically 2/3 of the Russian team, will always beat skill. that's one of those unwritten laws of hockey. Russia scored twice in the second period and more or less, just choked off the game from there. Russia won 2-1. third fucking year in a row they have defeated us in the World Juniors. the USA will play Sweden tomorrow morning for the Bronze medal. i'll be interested to see if either team gives a shit, seeing that both teams lost to a rival the day before.

so after the game i took a long shower. i was hoping the hot water on my back and neck would feel good. sadly, it didn't. it's finally winter here and sure enough, my back is tighter than shit. i did find it funny that the news were making it sound like a blizzard was coming this morning during the morning commute. we didn't get anything here other than frost.

i went 8-8 on my NFL picks yesterday. that pretty much sums up my picks all damn year as i was 19 games worse than last season. in my eyes, that's a complete fucking failure even though i was 151-105 for the regular season.

i have two YouTube videos in my head that just need to be filmed now. one is pretty simple. the other i'm trying to pull off some shit that i have never tried before. i'm trying to make 2016 the year where i don't give a shit about failing. we'll see.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

i will be watching Monday Night Raw tonight and the season finale of Breaking Ground on WWE Network. i will also try to catch some college basketball tonight as well.

speaking of college basketball, i see that the Dayton Flyers are now number 25 in the AP Poll. it sucks as it always seems we end up losing as soon as we get ranked. hopefully that doesn't happen this Wednesday at home against UMass.

amazingly, the New Orleans Saints won yesterday 20-17. i was flipping between that and the heartbreak my mother had watching her Jets blow a chance at the playoffs. i know that made my sister happy, as she is a Steelers fan.

i will be on here tomorrow after the Bronze medal game. hopefully i will be in a good mood.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. i think it's starting to sink in that it is 2016 now. 17 more days until i turn 40. or how a bumper sticker says it, until life begins.
