so, yet another night where i only got 4 hours of sleep. but, i do feel like i had a pretty damn productive day yesterday. i know where my next 8 poems are going. plus, i got a good shower in and actually did decent on some bets. so, let us begin...
Ohio State defeated Northwestern yesterday at Wrigley Field, 31-7.
i did watch plenty of college football yesterday...
the Dayton Flyers defeated Capital last night, 76-55.
AEW Collision was good last night.

the New Orleans Saints play today at home against the Browns.
the New York Rangers play tonight at Seattle.
i did watch 2 more episodes of Say Nothing yesterday. i highly recommend checking this show out. i have 3 more episodes to watch.

so, i talked to Kroger today and i guess my insurance company denied the Rybelsus the doctor wanted to put me on instead of Trulicity. i have no damn clue what comes next. i'm trying to remain calm and have plenty of patience, but this shit is on my fucking nerves. as i joked with mom last week, my death solves so many things...
the Yankees lost last night at the Mets, 9-7. i hope they find a way to win tonight, but it is obvious, given all the injuries now, they probably won't.
i did watch some of the Copa America games last night and Euro 2024 games today. i am still shocked that Georgia beat Portugal today 2-0. i will probably watch some of the Copa America games tonight.
NXT was very good last night.
Deadliest Catch was very good last night as well.
i was hoping to get all of the grocery shopping done before the rain started today. it started to sprinkle as i was on my way home. right now, it is fucking pouring.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and NJPW.
i do plan on watching the NBA Draft tonight. i am very interested to see where DaRon Holmes II goes. he is supposed to be drafted in the first round. if he is, he will be the 4th player from Dayton to achieve that.
i should be on here tomorrow in the morning, before mom has physical therapy in the afternoon.
i have no clue what i'm making for dinner tonight. i do have plenty of options though.
that's all for me kids.
until tomorrow...

so, the storms came back last night and sure enough, we got nothing. oh well.
mom's doctor's appointment went well yesterday. he did lower some of the drugs she is on. that made me happy. after the appointment, we decided to go to Fricker's for lunch. we haven't been at this place for over a year. the food was still good.
so, i did watch some of the Hell is Real game last night, Columbus vs. Cincinnati in the MLS. Columbus came from behind to win 3-2. it was a crazy game.
the Yankees won their 13th straight game last night, 8-2 over Oakland.
Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.
AEW Rampage was really good last night.
The Shop was great last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty good last night.
Back on the Record with Bob Costas was good last night.
enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.
i'm sure i will watch some soccer today as well as some college football.
i should be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
to my friends in New Orleans, please be safe, if such a thing is even possible anymore.
until tomorrow kids...

i opened my email this morning and had 256 emails. i started to laugh. so much for eating breakfast before noon. i got through all the emails eventually, and knew my day was about 3 hours behind where i wanted it to be. oh well.
Manchester United plays this afternoon in the Champions League against PSG. i'd love to see them pull off a miracle, but i'm not counting on it.
The Voice was pretty good last night.
Smackdown was really good last night.
205 Live was good last night as well.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, You're The Worst and Drop the Mic. i'll watch NXT and NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.
the Dayton Flyers play at home tonight against LaSalle. it's senior night, so there should be plenty of emotion in the building. this is a game Dayton MUST win if they want to finish in the top 4 of the conference.
i think mom has physical therapy tomorrow. i'll probably be on here after that is done.
i'd really love if spring would show the fuck up here. this cold ass wind is driving my arthritis nuts today. good times.
the New York Rangers lost last night at Dallas, 1-0. the refs certainly didn't do the Rangers any favors last night.
that's all for me kids. i have to go have some lunch and get a shower in before i leave for the game tonight.
until tomorrow...

we had 4.6 inches of rain last night. thankfully, where our house is, it doesn't really flood much. i went out to check since a sewer drain is right across from our driveway and if it starts backing up, i know where it's going. and i really had no motivation to get in the car and go check all the spots around town where i knew there would be flooding. thankfully, i was drinking last night, so i didn't have as much pain as i should have.
before i get to yesterday's shit, a few poetry updates...
i ended up typing up 7 poems yesterday. those are my first ones for November. i really like a few of them.
i sent out 30 poems today. 6 to Record Magazine, 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Live Nude Poems and Synchronized Chaos (already accepted); and 3 each to Rusty Truck, Mad Swirl and The Beatnik Cowboy. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.
Manchester United lost yesterday at Chelsea 1-0. they now sit 8 points behind Manchester City in the Premier League. hopefully the boys get healthy again and City collapses at some damn point this season.
the New Orleans Saints took care of business yesterday and defeated Tampa Bay 30-10. they are now 6-2 on the season and still in first place. they play at Buffalo next. that won't be easy.
Shameless was great last night. i am so happy the show is back.
SMILF was very good last night. i think this is going to be a show i really love.
Curb Your Enthusiasm was very funny last night.
Vice Principals was crazy last night. the series finale is next week.
Last Week Tonight was great as usual.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Rolling Stone: Stories From the Edge. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Columbus. i'd love to see the Rangers make it 4 wins in a row tonight.
i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow as mom has some blood work to get done and a brain MRI tomorrow afternoon.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.

when i woke up this morning around 8 or so, i vaguely recalled falling asleep sometime after 5 in the morning. i guess i must have slept too much over the weekend. time to even it all out.
i really enjoyed the Copa America games yesterday. i got home in time to watch the second half of Panama vs. Bolivia. that was pretty entertaining. Panama scored late to win 2-1. that is probably the biggest win in the history of soccer in Panama. the game between Argentina and Chile did not disappoint. it was highly skilled and nasty as hell for most of the 90+ minutes. Argentina won 2-1. Chile scored at the death to make it 2-1.
today is the MUST WIN game for the USA vs. Costa Rica and Colombia vs. Paraguay. if the USA loses tonight, it will be eliminated. if that happens, i'd like to see the coach fired before the night is over.
mom decided she wanted to go to the grocery store last night. i'm telling ya, the grocery store at 7 PM on a Monday night is full of fucking zombies. she had pills to get and thankfully, we were out of there in less than 90 minutes.
the New York Yankees rediscovered the home run last night to beat the Angels 5-2. when Carlos Beltran hit the 3 run homer to give them the lead in the 8th (they hit two solo homers in the 7th), that was the first 3 run homer the Yankees had hit since April. that's a good sign that this offense fucking sucks. they play again tonight. it's HOPE week at the stadium, so hopefully that means more magic.
i did watch all of season 2 of Swerved last night on WWE Network. some of the pranks were really fucking funny. or maybe i was delirious at 3 in the morning.
Monday Night Raw was ok last night. i enjoyed a few of the matches, but i was watching it right before going to bed. i think the shows will get much more interesting after the brand split happens.
i didn't watch much of the Penguins victory over San Jose last night. they can win the Cup on Thursday at home. a part of me hopes they do so the summer hockey silly season can fucking begin. the New York Rangers have a ton of moves they have to make.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Deadliest Catch and Maya & Marty.
i have two toilets to go clean and i need to do the trash next door as well. so, that's pretty much all for me today. i'm sure a crash will happen at some point, hopefully sometime after the USA wins tonight.

i woke up this morning after some horrific dreams of my death or life or whatever the fuck it was, and my back was absolutely killing me. like an entire zoo of animals was on it. i asked my mother if a cold front moved through overnight and she said it was raining currently. i suppose if i'm ever going to escape the rain i have to move to a desert. not the greatest choice for a guy with sensitive skin. figures.
i did enjoy WWE Smackdown last night. i think having Mauro Ranallo do play by play will help the show by leaps and bounds. it won't be long until fans will want him to do Monday Night Raw as well. also, honestly, i could watch Kevin Owens and Dean Ambrose fight for years and never get bored. 2 wrestlers that understand the little details of ring psychology and why it fucking matters.
The Big Bang Theory was hilarious last night. so was Life in Pieces. and i'm sure by now, if you are even slightly aware of pop culture, you know all about what happened on Lip Sync Battle last night.
and those two videos aren't even the best parts of the show. if you really want to laugh your ass off, i highly recommend the episode.
the grocery store was exhausting yesterday. not only because we had to get shit for next door, but mom was in shopping mode and i am rarely, if ever, in a mood for that. amazingly, we did manage to keep everything under $150.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Undateable. i have truly missed that show.
so imagine my surprise when mom was away at her doctor's appointment this morning and the doorbell rings and i'm sitting at the computer in just my shorts. i threw on a shirt and went to the door to find a large package. i put on some shoes and brought it in. thankfully, we have just enough cover near our front door that it didn't get wet. when mom got back she told me to open it. trust me, tape, scissors and arthritis are a deadly combination at times. i finally got the package open and it was this music player that is made to look like an old time record player. it plays vinyl, cassettes, cd's, Bluetooth, the radio and even has a cd burner on it. it sounds pretty good. i amazed myself this afternoon as i figured out the Bluetooth part of it. that should come in handy as i have probably over a couple thousand songs on my computer. so, i figure that is my birthday gift from her. it will definitely get used, probably this weekend.
tomorrow is going to be a giant clusterfuck for me. roughly on around the same time will be Manchester United in FA Cup play, the New York Rangers take on Washington and the Dayton Flyers play at La Salle. so, my blog for tomorrow is going to come after all that is over.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. it sounds like it is going to be fucking miserable here; ice, rain, wind, maybe snow, so i'm really hoping my sports teams win and i can drink it all away.
yes, i know i am on the road to nowhere. but i'm bound to leave behind a few things for you to remember me by.
i hope this finds you with a pulse.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i suppose it was around 2 in the morning that i decided i should just go to sleep. if the DVR has done one thing for me, it has given me at least more consistent sleep. not better or longer, but at least i'm now getting 4 or 5 hours at a time. the whole sleeping for 2 and then trying to fall back to sleep and get another 2 was certainly getting old. let alone how old it was making me. now i only feel like i'm 70 instead of 85.
yesterday was a day of victory beers. rare i can have one of those anymore.
Ohio State beat Western Michigan yesterday 38-12. the offense looked better but still left too many points out on the field. at least three would be touchdowns were under thrown. and they still didn't run the ball enough in my eyes. the defense gave up a ton of yards but did a great job limiting the damage. the special teams played really good. Big Ten play starts next week. they better fine tune everything once again.
the New York Yankees i guess are saving the offense for the playoffs. they got some really good pitching yesterday and just enough offense to beat the White Sox 2-1. they go for the series win this afternoon. the magic number to clinch a payoff spot is now 4.
i watched a good portion of the Global Citizen Festival yesterday. MSNBC was killing me with all the fucking commercials. nothing like the hypocrisy of trying to make the world a better place while still being a slave to capitalism. then the fuckers only showed bits and pieces of the Pearl Jam performance as of course, they had to run commercials. thankfully, i found the broadcast on YouTube and got to see everything i missed. the performances were great by the way. Eddie Vedder and Beyonce doing "Redemption Song" and Beyonce and Ed Sheeran doing "Drunk in Love" were my top highlights. oh, and watching Bill Nye geek out to Pearl Jam covering "Rockin' in the Free World"
ROH was excellent last night. anytime an episode starts off with Matt Sydal vs. Kushida and finishes off with Nakamura vs. Adam Cole, you have yourself a damn near perfect episode of wrestling.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
i made some changes to my fantasy football rosters this morning. i guess i'll know by Monday night if i made the right choices or not.
the New Orleans Saints play at Carolina today without Drew Brees. i think they might keep it closer than people think, but i don't have much hope of them winning.
the New York Rangers beat the Devils last night 4-3. they scored 2 third period goals to win. they lost the exhibition 3 on 3 OT mostly because they took a penalty. 3 on 3 will definitely be crazy to watch this season. the team made some cuts after the game that kind of shocked me. but, i think the guys i wanted to get a longer look will probably be up mid-season anyway.
on the DVR tonight will be Last Week Tonight, The Strain, Ray Donovan, Masters of Sex and the VICE Special Report: Fixing The System.
i'm not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. with mom being away, i have plenty of shit i want to get done. i need to go to the bank to made a deposit. i have a tree to cut down. i'm sure i'll have dishes to do, toilets to clean, carpet to vacuum and i don't want to be the asshole who waits until right before she comes home to do it. of course, that's probably what i'll end up doing. i do know i want to start cranking out the poetry submissions tomorrow and since i'll be going out to the bank, i might as well put the post office on the list. so if i'm a good boy and get my ass in gear in the morning, i'll be on here in the afternoon. but no promises.
i hope everyone had a wonderful Saturday. other than the rain and my bone spurs fucking with me, mine wasn't bad. enjoy your Sunday. may whatever ritual you have for the day agree with you.

i think i may have got 2 good hours of sleep last night. the kind of sleep where you have drool halfway up your arm. then, i was over at the farm taking some more shit to goodwill with mom. she then wanted to go shop at a store not far from the Goodwill. i wanted to go back to the farm and get more shit done. of course, i didn't win. i did get some beer out of the shopping, so all was not lost.
the Yankees lost last night 4-3. hopefully they will get the series win tonight against the Orioles.
i was a little shocked at who America saved last night on The Voice. apparently, a bunch of teenage boys got on twitter and voted for the one they wanted to have sex with. not that Deanna isn't stunning, but to my ears her performance fucking stunk. being a blues guy, i was hoping Mia Z was going to stick around. but, i've got a good clue who is going to be in the bottom three next week.
it was nice having Deadliest Catch back on last night. it's definitely one of the better shows on television. this season looks like it's going to be another crazy one.
i did see some late night television last night that made me laugh and feel old at the same time:
tonight is going to be a crazy one for me. a little baseball, team USA takes on Mexico in a soccer friendly/war, Lucha Underground will be on the DVR as i'll be checking out NXT on the WWE Network at the same time, and then, oh by the way, the NHL playoffs start tonight. thankfully, the New York Rangers start tomorrow night. this will be a long, long evening.
got some music at NoiseTrade today. i'll post the links below in the music section.
as you might imagine, i have a few poems swimming around my head these days. hopefully, i will get a chance to sit down and let the flood hit the page here in the next few days. i want to get those poems down before the chance to know my father is dead comes along. i can't imagine the poems that will come with that news.
that's all for me today. there's another round of storms coming. and i found out today the guy that lives on the other side of me is one of these old fuckers that mows the grass every three days or so. thank fucking god that the guy that mows my uncle's yard does ours as well. i'd be too tempted to pull some white trash shit and either mow when it needs it (once a month or so) or just concrete the whole fucking yard and make it a basketball court.
hope this finds you with a lovely blonde between your legs asking if you need another round.

oh shit, two days in a row. i guess i'm back in the flow of this once again.
i didn't sleep very well last night. i'm not sure if it's the season or the absolutely fucking bizarre dreams i was having. between one where my high school girlfriend actually was in love with me to one where i was accused in history class of putting mustard on a chocolate cake. not sure what the fuck it all means nor do i really fucking care at the moment.
of course, 20 minutes after i woke up from those dreams, i opened an email from Russell at The Camel Saloon passing on the poems i sent yesterday. well, that helps solve the problem with not having poems for the broadside project.
i was not very pleased with Monday Night Raw last night. other than Brock Lesnar nearly killing everyone, the rest of the night was a bit of a downer. i did like the debuts of the guys from NXT. hopefully they are on Raw for a long time. it just felt like they were back to hey, let's fuck the audience again and not give them anything they want. though, i doubt they liked the cheers when Brock did this to lead announcer Michael Cole:
of course, it would have been best to do the rest of the show in silence. they chose not to and made shit even worse.
i watched The Voice from last night this afternoon. i figured it was a good time, especially given the way team USA has been playing here recently. they were playing Switzerland at noon. so, once The Voice was over, i flipped over to the soccer match. of course, i missed a great goal:
USA ended up drawing with the Swiss 1-1. Jozy Altidore got a red card. not sure why people think he didn't deserve it. he was going to get a yellow for the tackle. you can't exactly tell the ref to go fuck himself and not think you're not getting another yellow. stupid stupid STUPID. oh well, just another fucking friendly where they couldn't hold a lead.
the New York Rangers play tonight up in Winnipeg. this isn't the best place to try to get on a good streak. hopefully they win against a desperate Jets team.
on the DVR tonight will be the recap episode of The Voice and Undateable, one of the few comedies i actually like on NBC.
the people that were supposed to get the furniture today didn't show up. figures. mom has told them they have to be here by 8 in the morning tomorrow or she's giving it all away to charity. so much for sleeping in tomorrow.
i got some free music on iTunes today. i haven't been over to NoiseTrade yet to see what they have. and, i guess i should check out that new streaming service that Jay Z is doing. judging from the commercial, it looks interesting.
that's all for me today. i believe i might have to drive mom to work tomorrow. her Meniere's disease has been acting up again. if that happens, i'll bring along a pen and paper and maybe get a few poems down. either that, or maybe do some day drinking. good times.
hope this finds everyone drunk and looking at bad porn. until tomorrow bitches.
