crying yourself to sleep

i made the mistake last night of deciding to watch part 2 of The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling before i went to sleep. by the time part 2 was over, i was weeping. easily one of the best documentaries i have seen in years. now, it's a bit long, but if you're a fan of comedy, i highly recommend checking all 4 1/2 hours out.

The Voice last night was pretty good.

the season finale of Baskets was hilarious last night.

the season finale of Hate Thy Neighbor was excellent last night. after watching it, i guess i'll be living in Montana at some point in my life.

The Chris Gethard Show last night was fucking crazy.

The Jim Jefferies Show last night was great.

Smackdown last night was excellent. i love that Daniel Bryan will be wrestling at WrestleMania.

205 Live last night was really good.

team USA men's national team defeated Paraguay last night 1-0. it was a way more physical soccer friendly than i was expecting. i'm not sure how Paraguay escaped a couple red cards last night. i did love that the USA made sure some of the kids played and are now tied to the USA. that will come in handy with the massive rebuild needed after missing the upcoming World Cup. of course, the interim coach could have played more of the kids last night. i'm not sure why he didn't use all 6 of his subs last night.

i got to sleep this morning sometime around 6. i woke up around 11. one thing about crying yourself to sleep, it does at least put you out for more than a few hours.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The Voice. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Washington.

the New York Yankees season will start tomorrow in Toronto. hopefully i will be back home in time for the game.

mom wants to go to the grocery store tomorrow. she wants to get stuff to make for Easter. i'll be going to get liquor.

i will probably be on here tomorrow either really early (not likely) or after the baseball game is over.

i'm a little cranky today. i dropped mom off to get her taxes done. i went back home and typed up the 14 poems i wrote yesterday. right as i was finishing up the last poem and putting everything away, mom called to have me come get her. the place is only 5 minutes away. so, there i was sitting in parking lot for over 20 minutes before she came out. i truly can't fucking stand wasting my time. it's one of the few things i actually have. of course, she had a few excuses about how the cities fucked something up and her old employer didn't send everything she needed for her taxes, which i don't doubt either. i just don't understand why she couldn't have called me when everything was signed and being sent. remember, it's just 5 minutes away from the house. with what little patience i have left, i can't imagine how often i will have to bite my tongue before i fucking explode one of these days.

that's all for me kids. until tomorrow...

yet another rainy day; hello pain, it's me again...

i think i might have got 4 hours of sleep right on the nose when i woke up this morning to take a shower. we got to the car dealership before our appointment time. i'm a bit of an asshole about being late. i fucking hate it. mom wasn't feeling well, so she just had them fix the license plate and she would reschedule the oil change, etc. about 45 minutes later, we were leaving. it's been raining the whole damn day long. mom wanted McDonald's for breakfast, so i got some of that on the way home. and before we knew it, it was time to go south of town for her physical therapy session.

mom has been able to get around more and more without her cane. she's really making some progress. i'm trying not to be too worrisome and end up holding her back in any regard. but, i do get a little nervous when she gets a bit wobbly. the last thing i want to see is her fall again and have to get another hip replacement.

while she was in physical therapy, i wrote 14 poems. that gives me 44 for the month, i do believe. i'll type these up tonight while i've got the television on in the background.

after her physical therapy, we went to a late lunch. i might have actually enjoyed it more if i wasn't in so much pain from the fucking rain. i joked with my mother that if i ever start making real money, i could actually afford the good shit that would take the pain away. she laughed and said the shit that will end up killing you. i laughed and said like i haven't already had those dreams.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

The Voice was pretty good last night as well.

the New York Rangers lost last night to Washington 4-2. they play at Washington tomorrow night.

the New York Yankees won last night at Atlanta 5-1. i did get to see the mammoth home run Stanton hit. i have a feeling this is going to be a fun season.

The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling was excellent last night. i can't wait to see part 2 tonight. Garry was a big comedic influence on my sense of humor, especially when i was growing up.

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, Baskets, Hate Thy Neighbor, The Voice, The Chris Gethard Show, The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling  and The Jim Jefferies Show. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

team USA men's national team plays a soccer friendly tonight at home against Parguay. i'm hoping a bunch of the kids get to play and i'd love to see them play well enough to win. i won't be holding my breath though.

i don't know when i'll be on here tomorrow. i know i have to take mom to get her taxes done in the afternoon.

that's all for me kids. until tomorrow...

nothing says Spring like 3 inches of snow...

i couldn't find a comfortable spot in my bed to fall asleep until around 4 in the morning. just imagine my joy when the phone rang before 9 AM. so much for catching up on some sleep.

we got around 3 inches of snow. it was a really wet snow that has melted a little by this afternoon. i didn't think we got a newspaper this morning. turns out the fucker was buried in the snow. hopefully the rest will melt by tomorrow afternoon.

Smackdown was really good last night. Daniel Bryan being back is truly fucking awesome. the end of the show and the violence between Kevin, Sami and Daniel has me dreaming of the match those 3 could have at WrestleMania.

205 Live was excellent last night. i can't wait for the title match at WrestleMania between Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali. that should be great.

Baskets was hilarious last night. the season finale is next week.

Hate Thy Neighbor was very good last night.

The Voice was very good last night.

The Chris Gethard Show was fucking insane last night. i love that it is back on the air.

the New York Rangers lost to Columbus last night 5-3. it was a good loss as a good number of bad teams won last night. i need the Rangers to be in line for pick number 7 or better in the draft.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and the season finale of The X-Files. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i'm going to try to be on here early tomorrow as mom has a physical therapy appointment in the afternoon. and since we will be south of town and the Toys R Us going out of business sale starts tomorrow... i believe after her therapy we're going to make a stop there before we come home. and i'm sure we'll probably get a late lunch down there as well.

i do hope that the weather was better wherever you may be. of course, if you're on the East coast of the USA, i hope you have a shovel ready.

first day of Spring, here comes the snow

decided i better get the trash done before i did the blog today. the fear mongers on television are saying we could get up to 6 inches of snow by this time tomorrow. just fucking lovely.

i got about 4 hours of sleep last night. i tried taking a nap this afternoon, but my imagination had other plans. so, i got up and a poem spilled right out of me. i typed it up and it's pretty weird, so i love it.

The Voice was pretty good last night.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good as well last night. Brock beating the shit out of Roman was a nice twist. also, the Ultimate Deletion was a bit more crazy than i thought WWE would be willing to go to. it wasn't as nuts as the one they did in TNA, but i wasn't expecting it to be either.

Arthur Miller: Writer was very good last night. now, i found it fascinating as it really went into his process of writing and coming up with the plays. i devour that shit and try to use it in my own writing process if i can. all in all, i found it to be much deeper than i was expecting. i would definitely recommend this to anyone that might be interested in it.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, Baskets, Hate Thy Neighbor, The Voice and The Chris Gethard Show. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i about shit my pants this afternoon when i saw that the WWE cleared Daniel Bryan to wrestle again. he retired 2 years ago because of concussions. i know he's gone though all the treatments and some experimental concussion treatments and according to all reports, any damage caused by the concussions is gone now. this could actually be a game changer for all sports when i think about it. it will be very interesting to see how he changes his wrestling style. and i do expect him to be wrestling at WrestleMania in a few weeks.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Columbus. since i would have to watch and listen to the Blue Jackets shitty announcers, i will probably pass on watching tonight.

i did listen to a bit of the New York Yankees game this afternoon. they lost to Detroit 8-3. it's hard to believe that opening day will be here in 9 days.

i'll be on here tomorrow hopefully after some much needed sleep. i had to be up early this morning because the heating & air guy was coming to look at the furnace and air conditioner. thankfully, both are still good.

a day to forget

well, i think i have finally figured out how to get 5 hours of sleep in a row. don't go to bed until six in the morning. when i woke up and saw it was 11 AM i started to laugh. what's a good breakfast to eat at noon?

yesterday was one of those days where i'm truly happy i'm a poet. i'm well adjusted enough that when shit goes sideways, i know how to swallow my anger and vent it in a somewhat productive way.

when mom and i got to the basketball game yesterday, we got a program and went to find our seats. mom believed the seats were in the back row two sections over from where we normally sit. well, it was in the back row all right. the row that was nothing but chairs meant to be moved for wheelchairs. just fucking lovely. about two minutes into sitting there mom looked over at me and said this is going to kill your back isn't it? i said yeah, but i'm sure i'll be able to channel that pain somewhere. it was at that time i had learned Manchester United had got knocked out of the Champions League by Sevilla. to say i was seething would be an understatement.

mom said next time she'll let me handle the tickets. i agreed, considering this is two straight years she has managed to fuck something up. i guess it's getting to that point where i have to be the asshole son.

the First Four games were pretty good last night. Radford defeated LIU Brooklyn 71-61.that was their first win in tournament history. our seats were behind the Radford section. that had a good number of fans rooting for them. they had a player from Cincinnati on their roster, so i think that helped. in the second game, the Dayton fans kept their word and made Saint Bonaventure feel at home. and it worked. Saint Bonaventure defeated UCLA 65-58. that was their first win in the tournament since 1970. we got out of the parking lot right around midnight. joy.

we went to Waffle House after the game. that's basically the only thing that is open in Brookville at that hour. unless we wanted to eat gas station food. our waitress at Waffle House was in a pissy mood and the cook was new. these are the nights the world should he happy i don't carry a fucking gun with me.

once we got home, i started watching everything that recorded. thankfully, all of it did record, even though the snow fucked with the recording of Vice News Tonight.

oh, to top off everything, about 3 minutes after i got home i found out that Stephen Hawking died. to the man that actually got me interested in science after all the teachers in my life had failed, thank you.

The Voice was pretty good last night. the blind auditions are now over. now the fun truly begins.

Smackdown was much better last night. i did enjoy the Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn brutal beatdown of Shane McMahon.

205 Live was excellent last night. Cedric Alexander vs. Roderick Strong was very good.

Baskets was pretty funny last night.

Hate Thy Neighbor was all about feminism last night. a very interesting show to watch bleary eyed at 5 in the morning.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The X-Files. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Pittsburgh. the Rangers are starting their backup goalie again. this makes me pretty happy. they might as well see what the kids can do before they have to start making decisions in the summer.

the First Four games tonight are:
NC Central vs. Texas Southern
Arizona State vs. Syracuse

mom will be happy as at least we know there will be good bands at the game. my penis did enjoy the fact that UCLA brought their cheerleaders and dance team last night.

i figure i'll be on here sometime in the afternoon tomorrow. i'm going to go stretch out and hopefully take a giant shit.

hope you enjoy the visual.

i could do without the snow today...

it's always nice when you have about a thousand things to do before you have to be somewhere and you open the blinds to see a snowstorm. just fucking lovely.

i did type up those 8 poems i wrote yesterday. there are a few winners in there, that's for sure. i will probably have another round of submissions next week.

i did watch a little of the New York Yankees last night. they lost to the Twins 2-1. oh well.

the New York Rangers own Carolina at Madison Square Garden. they won last night 6-3, which marks the 15th straight time they have defeated Carolina at MSG. that's the longest streak against one opponent in Rangers history. all in all, it was a win i didn't want the Rangers to get, but i did enjoy the alcohol.

The Voice was pretty good last night.

Monday Night Raw was very good last night. i love the whole Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar program right now. throwing Vince into the mix was great. having Braun Strowman win the tag team battle royal by himself was an interesting twist. The Ultimate Deletion next week should be great. and i actually wouldn't mind if the Undertaker comes out as the other version of his gimmick he used in the past and destroyed John Cena. i really do like the direction Raw is going in for WrestleMania.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, Baskets, Hate Thy Neighbor and The Voice. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i will be at the First Four tonight to see two college basketball games. first up will be LIU Brooklyn vs. Radford. the second game will be Saint Bonaventure vs. UCLA. i'm really interested to see how mom does considering we probably won't be getting out of the arena until sometime around midnight. the games will be broadcast on TruTV in case you are interested.

Manchester United plays Sevilla today at home in the Champions League. this the second leg of their matchup. the winner advances to the quarterfinals. i'm really hoping United scores early and often and wins this match convincingly.

that's all for me today kids. i have to go eat lunch, shower, shave, and do the trash before i get ready to go to the basketball game. and all i really want to do is go take a fucking nap.

shorts and snow flurries

i couldn't get comfortable in bed last night until something like 4 in the morning. my left leg was absolutely fucking killing me. eventually, i got a few hours and have been dragging all damn day. thankfully, mom had a 3 ring binder she wasn't using, so that saved me a trip to the dollar store.

i am sort of in shock that out of the 24 poems i sent out yesterday, 6 have been published, 13 have been accepted for publication, 2 have been rejected and 3 i am still waiting to hear back on. and most of those poems were poems i had written while in the waiting room of my mother's physical therapy. maybe i have some talent still left in this wreckage of a body.

The Voice was pretty good last night.

Smackdown was sort of just how hum until the end last night. i was somewhat shocked that they had Sami Zayn turn on Kevin Owens last night. it made sense from the point of this is the only way you could logically have Sami win and not have to have a title exchange hands. but, part of me thinks that should have been saved for the ppv this Sunday. now, god knows Sami won't be winning that match, but it would have been so easy to then set up a WrestleMania match between Kevin and Sami and have it feel somewhat fresh. when you have watched for as long as i have (basically 40 years now) this is what you do when watching. it's always how you think it would have been better. thankfully, there are still times when i watch when i think i couldn't have done that any better. when that stops, it's basically time for me to stop watching.

205 Live was excellent last night. i do like the matches they have set up for the semi-finals of the Cruiserweight tournament. Cedric Alexander vs. Roderick Strong and Drew Gulak vs. Mustafa Ali. those have the chance to be awesome.

Baskets was pretty funny last night.

Hate Thy Neighbor was really good last night. the whole show was about the border between Mexico and Arizona. it clearly showed how inept the government is. of course, none of them can be honest and just say they love cheap labor more than curbing illegal immigration.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The X-Files. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i did watch some of the New York Yankees vs. the New York Mets this afternoon. the Mets were winning 4-1 at one point. the Yankees scored 10 runs in the last two innings to win 11-4. this could be a fun season ahead.

the New York Rangers ran into a better team last night in Winnipeg and it showed. the Rangers lost 3-0. that should bring them back down to reality. in my view, it was a good loss as i truly want them to tank the damn season and get a high draft pick. hopefully, that is what happens.

there was some blowing snow when i went out to get the paper this morning. of course, i was in a hoodie and some shorts. that cold air felt really good on my left leg. the wind was a different story though. thankfully, i had enough in the trash can and recycle bin that neither blew away.

i will be on here tomorrow after Dayton plays VCU in the A10 tournament. either i will be surprisingly happy or relieved that this damn season is finally over.

that's all for me kids.

i sent out 24 poems today. 3 to Pyrokinection, 5 each to Your One Phone Call, Misfit Magazine and Synchronized Chaos (already accepted for publication) and 6 poems to Record Magazine. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

the New York Yankees won today over Detroit 7-2. i believe the baseball regular season starts in like 3 weeks or something.

always fun to be walking and your left leg gives out...

i was walking from the kitchen to the living room last night to shut the blinds and i could feel my left knee just absolutely give out. that was fucking fun. i didn't really hear a pop or felt anything tear, so i took it slow the rest of the night. after a glass of something strong and 5 hours of sleep, i woke up today and didn't feel any pain. i figure there's a war going on inside my body. however it turns out, i'm going to lose one way or another.

we had the power go out for a few minutes today. at least i wasn't in the fucking shower like last time.

i wrote 10 poems yesterday. that brings the total for February to 55. that's a fucking ridiculous number to be honest. of course, if i get them all published i will be fucking thrilled. i typed the 10 up last night after i got the trash out to the curb. the poems are pretty good. a few of them will be in my first round of submissions for March.

The Voice was pretty good last night.

Smackdown was pretty good last night until they had John Cena defeat AJ Styles. talk about ending a show with a bitter taste in your mouth. what a clusterfuck.

205 Live was excellent last night.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Vancouver. it will be interesting to see how some of the new players fit in. i'd love to see the Rangers tank the season and get a high draft pick.

i did watch a good portion of the New York Yankees today. they lost to Detroit 9-6. that was their first loss of spring training. i did get to see the mammoth home run Gary Sanchez hit. i saw that right before i left to go to the store.

mom had me go to the store in town to see if i could find anything we could use the strawberries we had left on. i was hoping to find something like an angel food cake like before, but i couldn't. instead i settled on a small butter pound cake, which i think will work fine. that will end up being dessert tonight.

i think there is a 90% chance of rain tomorrow. so, i'll be a cranky fucker. there's your warning.

i hope you have enjoyed the videos of the day this month. i do feel it's somewhat sad that so many people don't know shit about black history. i hope you did learn something in the videos i've posted.

i'll be on here tomorrow in the morning, before mom's last physical therapy session.

i think i got around 6 hours of sleep last night. i'm not quite sure if this is how you feel when refreshed or not. but, i don't have any time to ponder such matters. mom has physical therapy this afternoon and i will have time for that then.

i thought Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i did enjoy Roman Reigns calling out Brock Lesnar. that was some of his best mic work in a long time. and it does appear that they are going to have Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey wrestling together at WrestleMania against HHH and Stephanie McMahon. as long as they continue to paint Ronda as the bad ass and then follow through with it, this should be fine. and if they are going to have a triple threat match for the Intercontinental Championship (Rollins, Balor and The Miz), i know which match will steal the show. all in all, it was a good show.

The Voice started back up last night. i think i am really going to enjoy Kelly Clarkson this season.

and i think she wants to go out to eat after her therapy session, so i have no damn clue where we're going to go. thankfully, there will be plenty of options.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. hopefully it will be after typing up a few poems.

have a good day kids.

Sevilla for the most part really outplayed Manchester United today. but, they couldn't get past the best keeper in the world.

i believe fucking ridiculous comes to mind after that save. in the end, it was a 0-0 draw. the second leg will be in Manchester in 3 weeks. hopefully United puts them away and moves on.

team USA men's hockey team lost in a shootout last night against Czech Republic. the USA simply didn't create enough chances in the game, and didn't cash in when they did create either. you can't have a power play in OT and not get a shot on goal. that game kept me up all night. i know deep down they aren't as good as the Czech team but the game was there to be won. Czech Republic 3 USA 2.

the Dayton Flyers did not play well last night until mid way through the second half. either Saint Louis ran out of gas or Dayton fucking woke up. but, for the second time this season, Dayton has now won 2 games in a row. considering their next game is at Rhode Island, i hope they enjoy this victory. Dayton won 53-50.

Smackdown was okay last night, but could have been so much better.

205 Live was excellent once again last night.

i did hear from Pyrokinection last night on the poems i sent earlier this week. they decided to pass on the 3 i sent.

i did write 10 new poems yesterday while in the waiting room at mom's physical therapy. i typed those up last night and i really like them. that puts me at 40 poems for the month. i might try to squeeze a little more out before the month ends.

after mom's therapy we went to The Rusty Bucket. it was much better than i was expecting.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. we're supposed to get a ton of rain tomorrow, so i figure most of the day i'm going to be in fucking pain.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

nothing like an early glimpse of Spring...

i think i got around 4 1/2 hours of sleep last night. i think that mostly was due to the low being 60 fucking degrees last night. i think there's a chance for it to get up into the 70's today. of course, i believe that comes with a chance of thunderstorms. and in a few days it will be back to down to the 30's. time for everyone to get sick again.

USA hockey defeated Slovakia last night 5-1. that means they will play the Czech Republic tonight with a chance to move on to the semifinals. they looked much better last night than they have for the entire tournament.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. the gauntlet match was very entertaining. of course, it took up 2/3 of the entire show. it was good to see Seth Rollins remind everyone of just how great he is.

Celebrity Big Brother was pretty good last night. i got a good laugh when Ross won the VETO. that blew up Omarosa's plan to get rid of him. Metta went home last night, willingly. the damn show ends in 6 days. i have no idea why he couldn't last that much longer.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, Baskets and Hate Thy Neighbor. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at home against Saint Louis. the game starts at 9 tonight. i won't be going, mostly because i want to watch the hockey game tonight that starts at 10. and i'm one of these guys that doesn't like to watch sports on the DVR. hopefully Dayton will get a win tonight.

i'll probably flip between the hockey game and the basketball game and whatever else is going on tonight with the Winter Olympics.

i do plan on taking my little notebook today while mom is doing her physical therapy. if i happen to write some shit, i'm planning on typing those up when we get back home.

and i think mom wants to go out to eat after her physical therapy. not sure where she wants to go, so that should be interesting. there's probably 30 different choices down there than we have up where we live.

i'll be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the Champions League.

that's all for me kids. i need to hop in the shower. enjoy the visual.

el joven debe guiar el camino

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...

ashes, love and then the fog rolls in...

my mother asked me what i was giving up for lent. i laughed and told her i quit giving a shit about organized religion when organized religion gave up on me.

i wrote 9 poems yesterday in the waiting room of mom's physical therapy. i typed them up last night, a little later than i wanted to. more on that later. i did like a few of them. i will probably have another writing session tomorrow and then it will be time for another round of submissions.

after physical therapy, we went out for a late lunch/early dinner. apparently, my body can't go 6 hours without food anymore. i had my usual for the place we were at. in hindsight, i should have had lunch at the house and just a few bites for the early dinner.

the one thing i liked about the house we now live in is there is a bathroom not that far away from the door going into the house from the garage. sadly, it wasn't close enough yesterday. thankfully, i like my pants cuffed so i didn't have to clean up any shit off of the carpet. but, there's a certain finality of just fucking kill me now when you're 42 years old and sitting on a toilet looking down at a pile of shit in your underwear and down your leg. i would ask how many fucking times i need to be humbled, but i know no one is fucking listening. my stomach was in knots all fucking night. i had to have some liquor just to settle it to get a few hours of sleep. as i told my mother this morning, either i'm starting to have the same stomach problems she has or my alcoholism is taking over the show. regardless, i am old enough to know this won't end pretty.

happy valentine's day

mom's appointment this morning went well. she's not crazy or losing her mind as she likes to think. all her tests pointed out that she's too stressed and moderately depressed as well. as i told her as we were leaving, it always comes back to her lack of self-confidence. i know a few of you just read that and laughed out loud thinking of my mental hangups.

i did go to the bank today and picked up a prescription at the grocery store. it was a gloomy drive around town. perfect for this fucking day.

the New York Rangers gave up 3 goals in the first 6 minutes or so last night at Minnesota. that was too big of a hole to climb out of as they lost 3-2. all the kids looked pretty good. it would be nice to see some veterans start to get traded from the team.

Smackdown was a clusterfuck last night.

205 Live was really good last night. i am liking the new direction of the show now.

Baskets was pretty funny last night.

Hate Thy Neighbor was about some crazy anti-abortion fucks. given my stance on god these days, you can imagine what i thought of the show.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Celebrity Big Brother. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at George Mason. since this team can't find a way to win on the road. i won't be hoping for a win tonight.

i got up this morning in time to watch team USA blow a 2-0 lead to Slovenia at the Winter Olympics in hockey. they lost 3-2 in overtime. i heard the names of so many failed New York Rangers players that i completely understood the loss.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow most likely. that way if i do end up doing some more writing in the waiting room tomorrow, i'll type those up in the afternoon. but, as we all know, plans are meant to be blown up in your fucking face.

that's all for me kids. i need to figure out what the fuck i'm having for dinner.

me gustaría enamorarme, pero solo a los muertos parece gustarme
