so, i was up at 3 in the morning doing the dishes in the bathtub. i know there is a poem there somewhere. i really wanted to sleep in this morning. i was still up before 9. mom is just now getting out of bed. maybe i'll sleep more as i approach death.
well, let me start off where this left off yesterday.
Manchester United lost 3-0 yesterday at home to Bournemouth. the boys were absolutely pathetic. i don't have much hope for the match on Tuesday at home against Bayern Munich.
the Dayton Flyers won yesterday at home against Troy, 82-70.
i did watch a bit of the Army vs. Navy game yesterday.
the MLS final was excellent yesterday. the Columbus Crew won, 2-1, over defending champs LAFC.
NXT Deadline was awesome last night.
AEW Collision was good last night.
Saturday Night Live was fucking hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Last Week Tonight, Fellow Travelers, The Curse and Power Book III: Raising Kanan.
i did watch some of the finals of the NBA in-season tournament last night. the Lakers beat the Pacers, 123-109.
the New York Rangers lost last night at Washington, 4-0. they are back home tonight against the Kings.
i will probably go to the store later today. i am low on bread, etc. i can't wait until the fucking kitchen is done.
the New Orleans Saints are at home today against Carolina. the Saints are up currently, 7-0.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
until tomorrow kids...

so, when the news of Grant Wahl's death last night hit me, i was shocked. Grant was the best soccer writer in this country by a mile. he did an amazing job explaining the sport and growing the sport in this country. i still am trying to process his death covering the World Cup. part of me doesn't want to believe it is true. and part of me knows, having just celebrated his 48th birthday 8 days ago, it is the circle being completed. Grant was also an amazing writer about college basketball. i have been an avid reader of his for damn near 20 years. i think i cried for hours last night as i was trying to deal with my own grief. he was the writer i thought i wanted to be when i was a kid, thinking of writing for a team or a sport, long before the poetry bug latched on to me. rest in peace Grant. you were an amazing human. condolences to his wife and his family.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.
AEW Rampage was good last night.
Young Rock was pretty funny last night.
both episodes of Random Acts of Flyness reminded me of why i absolutely love this show.
the New York Knicks won last night at Charlotte, 121-102.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:
the New York Rangers won in Colorado last night, 2-1 in the shootout.

and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live.
i'll be watching NXT Deadline on Peacock for most of the evening.
today at the World Cup, the amazing run for Morocco continued with their 1-0 upset of Portugal. France defeated England, 2-1, in a very tense game. i'm not sure how Harry Kane is going to live with himself after missing the penalty that would have made it 2-2. so, now the semifinals of the World Cup are set. Croatia plays Argentina on Tuesday. France plays Morocco on Wednesday. Morocco is the first African nation to ever make the semifinals.
Manchester United lost 1-0 today in Spain to Real Betis.
the Dayton Flyers won today at home against UNC Asheville, 79-56.
i did go to Rite Aid and Family Dollar earlier today. i had some pills to pick up at Rite Aid. shockingly, they actually had them ready before i even called them in to have them refilled. i had to pick up some Glade spray at Family Dollar. they are the only store around here that still sells it for just $1.
not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm guessing the morning as i know the New Orleans Saints are on their bye week. i did get the first round of Christmas cards sent out today. i'm hoping to get the rest of them done this weekend and out in the mail on Monday.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
until tomorrow kids...

it has been incredibly muggy today. my old bones are screaming, so i know some shit is coming this way. now, i'm hoping it won't be a tornado or any damaging winds, but i know damn well, there is rain on the way.
i got mom to her appointment this morning on time. she was getting the injection into her back at the south office. that is 40 minutes away. i did get 5 poems written out in the Highlander. i typed those up this afternoon. i had to go out and get her pills at Kroger. so, i decided to stop by Big Lots to see if they had any baseball cards. i ended up buying $45 worth of baseball, basketball and football cards. add in the $5 football box i got at Rite Aid before i went to Kroger, and those $50 of cards ended up being worth close to $75. i have one more order coming from Topps.com and that will be the end of my buying for 2021.
between the pills and the injections, i'm really hoping mom gets some relief from her pain.
the season finale of Cake last night was fucking weird as usual.

it's a good fucking thing i have a high pain tolerance. my experience at the doctor's office would have been completely different if i didn't. i'm not sure what the point of being on time is when the appointment is going to be later than it was scheduled for. at least, now i have a cell phone to pass the time. i had to be stuck twice for my A1C. i had to have my blood pressure taken twice because of shitty equipment. and to top everything off, i had to have some blood drawn as well. my A1C is still good. my blood pressure was excellent today. now, i have no clue how the blood work is going to turn out. i'd like to believe i'm doing good, but there is a part of me that has wished to be dead since i was 8. so yeah...
NXT was really good last night.
AEW was really good last night as well.
Alabama Snake was pretty interesting last night. sadly, it reminded me of my father's side of the family way too much.
The Masked Singer was a holiday sing a long last night. the season finale is next week.
the season finale of I Can See Your Voice was good last night.
the USMNT defeated El Salvador last night, 6-0. i did get to watch some of the game. it was nice to see so many youngsters get their first cap.

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Miz & Mrs, Total Bellas and Cari & Jemele Won't Stick to Sports. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i don't have a damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i figure i will need to hit the store to pick up meds for mom and myself. also, mom starts all her stuff for her upcoming colonoscopy (fun, fun, fun).
that's all for me kids.

so i was up to four in the morning figuring out who i was going to send Christmas cards to this year. i got everything mailed out this afternoon. i figure in the next few days or so, they should start arriving. now, all i need to do is wrap gifts and all my Christmas shit is done as far as i'm concerned.
The Voice was really good last night. i have no damn clue who is going home tonight. they are going from 8 to 4.
Monday Night Raw was very good at points and at other points i was flipping over to a shitty football game between the Eagles and Giants.
after i went to the post office, i had to go to the grocery store to get around $250 of pills for both of us. i still have no clue why the doctor's office won't put any refills on this prescription for me. apparently, they like to hear me complain. i picked up a few other things, which lead to a few other things and there was another $60 or so down the drain. that's the tradeoff for cheaper gas i guess.

and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Masked Singer, The Voice, the season finale of Total Divas and WWE Backstage.

i'll probably be on here tomorrow after mom has her physical therapy.
you could definitely tell a cold front moved through here. winter has arrived once again.
i have trash to go pick up, in the dark. oh joy.

these are the days of winter i can't really stand. the older i get, the more i need the sun i think. perhaps it's my inner child knowing my negativity is killing me. perhaps i need the sun to simply brighten this dismal time in my life or the world. the silver lining is all the success i had today. between poems getting published and accepted, between a delightful trip to the post office where i got to be the fly in the ointment for several old ladies... one of those days where i try to cram about 24 hours in a span of about 6. good times.
the post office today was pretty funny. first off, i let this beautiful, and i mean beautiful for this part of Ohio, woman go in front of me. she was a stunner to say the least. when i got up to the counter, i had 15 envelopes that needed postage. and since i am an asshole, none of the envelopes were the same. plus, i needed to get a roll of stamps and mom wanted a book of Christmas stamps. after some furious typing, a few deep sighs, the total was around $80 or so. i could hear the old ladies behind me getting more and more pissed the longer it took. that was some of my best joy i have had in weeks.
so, there are a few lucky ones out there that should be checking their mailboxes in the next few days.
the finale of Enemies: The President, Justice & the FBI was really good last night. of course, i figure nothing is going to happen to the asshole running this country, not until he gets voted out (hopefully). but, it would be nice to see his family have to do some time while he figures out how to pardon every criminal he's given a job to over the last few years.
Ray Donovan was really good last night.
Escape at Dannemora was excellent last night.
the New Orleans Saints had an awful first half yesterday at Tampa Bay. they trailed 14-3 at halftime. thank fucking god they woke up and absolutely destroyed Tampa in the second half. the Saints got all the phases rolling (offense, defense, special teams) and won the game 28-14. that gives them the division title for the second straight year and since the Rams lost last night in Chicago, the Saints control their destiny once again for the number 1 seed in the NFC playoffs.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Vice Special Report: The Untold Story of the 2008 Financial Crisis. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
the New York Rangers play tonight at Tampa Bay. the Lightning have the best record in the NHL, so i'm interested to see how the Rangers do tonight.
so mom had me bring in all the Christmas shit yesterday from the garage. as of right now, we have 4 Christmas trees up and i'm hoping not much more needs to go up. as you might imagine, i like festive, but i'm not a festive motherfucker.
i had to sit in on a conference call between my mother and her financial planner today. even with the recent downturn in the economy, mom is still sitting pretty. it would be nice if they would stop fucking with her disability payments. that would make her life much less stressful.
i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i think my sister is having shit shipped to the house for mom in my name, so i'm going to be on the lookout for that tomorrow i guess.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
that's all for now kids.

ever since my arthritis has basically taken over my body, i can't stand trying to walk on snow. it's not that i'm paralyzed with fear, it's more that i feel like with my bones aching, if i take a wrong step, down i go. of course, the same is true for carpet, cement, grass, whatever. i never have been a fan of driving in it. i'm bitching about all this because it snowed here yesterday. nothing major, just enough for all the stupid fucks to forget about how to drive in the winter. thankfully, i only skidded once yesterday. it got a little slicker as the day went on. i was hoping it was going to stop once we got to the basketball game. it didn't stop until well after i went to sleep.
what i feared with the Dayton Flyers hiring Anthony Grant to be the coach is coming true. Dayton was outplayed, and worse, out coached by Penn yesterday, 78-70. that's the first time Dayton has EVER lost to an Ivy League team. i wasn't happy when Dayton was down 21-7 to start the game. but they dug out of that hole and even took the lead in the first half. they game was tied at 35 at halftime. when i saw in the paper that Josh Cunningham, the only player on the team that is consistent this season, said it felt like if we just would have played harder, we would have won, i wanted to vomit. at least the coach put it on himself for not getting the team ready to play as hard as they need to. what truly pisses me off is Dayton went out and hired a coach they knew wasn't going to leave them for a better job. sadly, some of the fucking fools in charge believe Dayton is Duke. that there is no better job than Dayton. fucking fools. they should have went out and found the next Archie Miller and continued to build on that success. instead, they desired mediocrity. that's exactly what they will get. the team is off for a week for finals. i would hate to stew on that loss for that long.
mom wanted to go to Waffle House after the game. thankfully, it wasn't too busy. and the snow was never bad enough that i felt like we should just go home. although, after that loss, i would have loved to go to a bar and just get fucking wasted.
the New York Rangers beat New Jersey last night 5-2. i had the game on as background noise as i was making my sister's Christmas CD. this was a much better job than the previous night against Washington. it's amazing how much easier it is to win when you score first. the Rangers play tomorrow night at home against Dallas.
ROH was excellent last night.
Saturday Night Live was fucking hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Shameless and SMILF.
basically, today is all about Manchester United vs. Manchester City. the result of that game will be my mood for the rest of the day. hopefully, for my mother's sake, United wins.
i'll be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store to pick up two of my prescriptions and a trip to the bank to deposit some money.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday will be even better.

there's a part of me that wishes that subject line was about cocaine. instead, it's about snow. i opened the garage door this morning to go get the paper and was like, shit, i guess they weren't joking. it doesn't look like we got more than a dusting. hopefully we don't get anymore until i get back from the basketball game.
i did write 5 poems last night. i finally got the one that had been in my head for over a week out. i really like most of them. i figure i may do a round of submissions in the next week or so.
Vice News Tonight had another excellent week of reporting.
Vice Special Report: A House Divided was a pretty accurate portrayal of where the political system in this country is. the one subject that i wish was touched more was how much racism played into the paralysis over the last 8 years. i think you can see it now with how much the white politicians are salivating to wipe away the last 8 years as quickly as possible. i figure the next administration is going to be like George W. Bush's administration; loving war, hating taxes and not smart enough to know that you can't cut taxes and increase spending. hello recession.
NJPW was excellent last night.
i enjoyed Madonna: Rebel Heart Tour much more than i thought i was going to. i'm not exactly sure why. i do know i need to step out of my box every now and then and take part in the disposable world. it's good for my mental health, or at least that's what i am telling myself.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live, Austin City Limits and ROH.
i will probably also watch the MLS Final tonight between Seattle and Toronto.
the New York Rangers won 1-0 last night in OT in Chicago. they started the backup goalie for the second game in a row and the gamble absolutely paid off. both goalies last night were spectacular. this is a huge win for the Rangers, especially since they were playing on back to back nights. they next play on Sunday against New Jersey.
the Dayton Flyers play ETSU this afternoon. this should be a tough game, but hopefully Dayton can extend their winning streak.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
i will probably be on here tomorrow before the Manchester United game.

as my mother used to say in my youth, today i was busier than 9 cats covering up shit in a windstorm. in the morning, i got all of my Christmas cards done. so you lucky ones out there, check your mailbox in the next few days. some of you are getting just a card and some of you are getting much more than just a card.
in the afternoon, i did my last big poetry submission of 2015. i sent out 23 poems today; 5 to Your One Phone Call and 3 each to Pyrokinection, Pink Litter, Napalm and Novocain, Raw Dog Press, Dead Snakes and Mad Swirl. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.
when the Dayton Flyers were behind by 16 points in the first half last night, i was beyond fucking frustrated. but, as i told my mother, at least they can't shoot any worse in the second half. thankfully, they picked up the defensive intensity and imagine that, the shots started to fall. they erased that deficit to beat Vanderbilt on the road 72-67. that will be a HUGE victory come March and tournament selection time. Dayton next plays at home against a very good Chattanooga team.
the New York Rangers fell victim last night to some horrific officiating and some bad puck luck as well. and i know i bitch about refs all the god damn time but last night might have been the worst. the Rangers got fucked over and over by the officials while already down a man. and the shitty thing was it was a really bad call on what a ref thought he saw that gave Vancouver the lead. the Rangers would come back on a penalty shot but would give the lead right back in less than 2 minutes. if i was the coaches, i would simply just erase this tape and forget about the 2-1 loss. the refs played way too big of a role in the game. the Rangers next play in Edmonton on Friday. they will be celebrating Glen Sather that night.
after the games went off, i finally watched my shows. American Horror Story had a few twists and turns i didn't see coming. i can't wait to see where it goes next week. You're The Worst had a great season finale. i was laughing from the start to the finish. and the finish was really good.

i guess my eye appointment is in the morning tomorrow. so i will have all the details for the blog tomorrow. i'm interested in finding out if the spot on my eye has gotten any larger or not.
i got some FREE music on NoiseTrade today. i will post the links below.
the Sacramento Kings are on national tv tonight so i might give them a view or two. i'd love to actually see them win. that would be nice.
well, i need to vacuum the floors before all the fun starts tonight so that's all for me kids.

the basketball game last night completely drained me. drained me to the point that i was falling asleep at the computer last night as i was checking emails.
Dayton played like absolute shit in the first half. the coach had been telling everyone for 3 days how Bowling Green would come out in this game and just like most teenagers or young adults, the players didn't listen. Dayton was down by 8 at half time. now, this is the part where i truly know i am a genius. as the second half started i told my mother what Dayton should do. just cut the lead down in each 4 minute segment and by the end, they will be right there. when Dayton tied the score at 39, i was feeling pretty good. when Bowling Green rattled off 11 straight points to go up 50-39 with something like 11 minutes left, i was thinking fuck me runnin'. thankfully, Dayton finally showed up with the Dayton team i know they can be. Dayton finished the game on a 17-2 run to win 56-52. hats off to Devon Scott for completely outplaying a NBA prospect last night. Dayton next plays at Arkansas. as much as i would like to think they can win, they better play about 1000000000000% better than have been playing. here are some highlights from last night:
we got home from the game in time to watch the Dan Patrick interview on the Golf Channel. that was pretty good.
i was up late enough to see this last night. i absolutely laughed my ass off. the genius of Ricky Gervais:
i got to see what i missed on The Voice last night. my two locks did make it through to the finals. i have no clue what America sees in Chris Jamison. his voice sounds like dog shit to me. Damien won the overnight vote between all the performers previously voted off to be the fourth finalist. so, all 3 members of Team Adam make it to the finals along with Craig from Team Blake. i'll laugh my ass off if Craig wins it.
i think i have to drive mom to a doctor's appointment here in a few hours, so i thought i better get this out of the way.
tonight should be an interesting night of television for me. i'm looking forward to Lucha Underground tonight. and then, i'm really looking forward to American Horror Story.
currently, i'm getting my Christmas card list together and figuring out who is going to get some goodies. i also have cats to feed and it looks like the birds need some food as well.
if you'd like to get me something for the holidays, feel free to get me ANYTHING from my Amazon.com wish list. you'll find a link to it on the right hand side of this blog.
that's all for me today. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

when i woke up this morning there were roads closed and schools on delays and i ask my mother, didn't we only get an inch of snow overnight? and she says yes. crazy. you'd think this kind of weather doesn't happen here EVERY FUCKING YEAR. the wind has been really picking up during the day. mom's gonna have some fun when she comes home from work driving through the snow drifts in the lane now. thank god they are only a few inches deep. i got stuck in one years ago that was damn near a foot. that was a fun dig. good times.
Manchester United played like dog shit today in Champions League play. sadly, dog shit was a step up from how they had been playing lately, as they won 1-0 on a second half goal from Phil Jones. this allows them to win the group and avoid the great teams in the next round. still, they'll probably face a team they will struggle against. need to get some fucking midfielders SOON. they play again on Sunday at Aston Villa.
sure is nice to enjoy a victory beer again.
i split my fantasy football matches last night. i won the CBS one, which i am very happy about as that was against the best team in the league. my reward is the 4th seed in the playoffs and i get to play that team this week as well. joy. i lost the NFL.com one by less than 2 points. i really beat myself up about that as the winning points were on my bench and the guy that beat me was on my roster earlier this season. OUCH. i'm the 5th seed in those playoffs and have to play the team that spent all but the last day of the regular season in first place. good times. and if you think i'm a little anal during the regular season for fantasy football, the playoffs are a whole other level of insanity.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Nashville. i'd love to see a much better effort than the last 2 games. but i have my doubts. this team isn't talented enough to be a pretty team. and they aren't physical enough to be a mean team to play against. to put it kindly, they are mediocre at best. being 15-15-1 pretty much spells it out.
i did manage to catch a good portion of The Voice last night. i really enjoyed all 5 performances. it wouldn't shock me if Team Adam is the final 3 but i have no fucking clue who should go home tonight.
Monday Night Raw was pretty damn good last night. the crowd was great and i really loved how the Daniel Bryan chants threw HHH off his game in the final segment. helps that they were near Bryan's hometown. the final chaos between Cena, Orton, HHH. CM Punk, HBK, Daniel Bryan, and Stephanie McMahon was perfect. one of the better endings to a show in years.
it is supposed to get down to the single digits this evening. should be interesting to see if my truck will even start in this shit. i haven't even thought about the damn thing in over a week.
that's all for me. i'll be working on the Christmas cards tomorrow afternoon, so you lucky ones out there be checking your mailboxes soon.
