woke up to snow...

 definitely starting to feel winter like here. it was snowing this morning. nothing too bad, a little accumulation. of course, by the afternoon it was all gone. i guess here comes the two weeks of winter.

i got the house vacuumed today. that certainly took a good bit out of my bad back. joy.

Nate Bargatze's Nashville Christmas was pretty funny last night.

NJPW was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and AEW Rampage. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at Cincinnati. the game is on ESPNU.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Dallas. i doubt i will be watching much of it. 

the college football playoff starts tonight. Indiana is at Notre Dame.

i have had a long day of people trying to scam me online. truly the holidays now.

i am going to be on here in the late morning / early afternoon tomorrow most likely.

i will certainly be on here before Ohio State plays at home against Tennessee tomorrow night in the college football playoffs.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i hope all you last minute shoppers find some great deals. 

until tomorrow kids...

will a morphine drip fit in a stocking?

 i think it rained most of the night. it has rained most of the morning as well. and i am miserable, and that was even before Manchester United lost this morning.

Manchester United lost at West Ham 2-0 this morning. that is 4 straight games United haven't scored a goal. fuck me.

the contractor was here on time, as usual. he had the new vent hood in and running in probably a hour. he cleaned up, took the old one with him and for the most part, the kitchen renovation is done. thank god.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Edmonton, 4-3. they play tonight at home against Buffalo.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.

AEW Rampage was good last night as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Collision and Power Book III: Raising Kanan.

i will probably watch a ton of college and pro football today.

i do need to wrap my mother's gifts today. i will probably do that after i get this done.

and i suppose most of today, i will be in my massage chair, aching, hoping my bets are doing well, icing my back and deciding should i waste more money on Powerball tickets.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. and i hope the weather is better wherever you are.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

 Merry Christmas to everyone...

so, i somehow managed to cut myself this morning, so Christmas is off to a great start. 

the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at Cleveland, 17-10. it was the coldest game the Saints had ever played in as a franchise.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be George & Tammy and Ziwe.

the New York Knicks play today at home against Philadelphia.

i'm sure i will watch plenty of basketball and probably some football games as well today.

i should be on here in the morning tomorrow.

i hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas.

stay warm.

another day at the zoo

 today has been pretty crazy so far. i was able to get just about everything on the grocery list. i got a box of baseball cards today from Fairfield for $5. there was a Ken Griffey Jr. card in it that was worth that much that i have never had before. that made me pretty happy. pulled two tomatoes off of the vines this morning that are pretty close to being ripe. and i guess the heat and humidity are coming back this weekend. joy.

the Yankees won last night, 13-1, over Baltimore. they had 3 pitchers make their major league debuts last night. first time that had happened on the Yankees since 1950. Luis Gil definitely earned another start after 6 scoreless innings. and that was the most runs the Yankees have scored all season. hopefully, there will be more to come in tonight's game.

NXT was excellent last night.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

i did watch the ending of the TBT finals last night:

i did stay up and watched the USA women's basketball team defeat Australia, 79-55. 

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, AEW and Big Brother.

i'll probably watch the USA men's basketball team late tonight take on Australia in the semifinals.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm hoping i can actually work on getting some poems ready to be submitted sometime in the next few days. 

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the shot.

sometimes you learn to hate the world a little more each day

i talked to my best friend for the first time in months today. if even 1/3 of what she told me is true, i hate the world more than i even thought was possible. hopefully she has found a little piece of freedom now and can get cracking on the book to put all of us to shame.

the New York Yankees had as many hits as errors last night. that pretty sums up why i didn't watch more than the first inning. not exactly the debut i wanted for Sonny Gray. the Yankees lost 5-1. hopefully they will do better tonight in Cleveland.

Big Brother went as i expected last night up until the new HOH. holy shit, Josh is the new HOH. this week should be interesting.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

The Chris Gethard Show last night was beautifully absurd. i highly recommend it.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice, Real Time with Bill Maher, Room 104 and Treehouse Masters.

i took mom to Menards this morning. this was sort of a test to see how well she would do in the car on that long of a drive. her goal is to be able to go to my sister's condo one more time before she sells it. mom did pretty good. thankfully, it didn't rain much. we found pretty much everything we were looking for.

i went to the grocery store this afternoon. mom's scroll wasn't as long as the one last week, so i had a better chance to keep it close to $100. after about $30 in coupons and discounts, the final total was around $109. not too bad considering what i was getting.

i need to go out tomorrow afternoon and get ink for our printer. i can't wait to see what that is going to cost.

i wouldn't be shocked if i don't have some poems creep into my head after the phone call i had this afternoon. thankfully, it looks like it's going to be a good weekend to write.

mom surprised me with some new clothes that came in the mail today. sometimes i just mark things in the magazines she gets for shits and giggles. so, now i'm the owner of some incredibly tacky camouflage shirts, shorts and pants. and not the green kind, think more like orange, blue and pink. this is where i enjoy being a member of the sophisticated white trash.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. to my friends in the Pacific Northwest, stay hydrated.

too hot to even think

i went with mom to get some banking done today. i know how much the heat fucks with her, so i like to go along as much as i can. after we got that done, we went to lunch. on the way home from there, she decided she wanted ice cream. the a/c in her car sucks, so this was going to be an interesting drive to get the ice cream home without melting. thankfully, i'm a skilled asshole driver. but between the heat, the grease of lunch and the ice cream, i'm ready for a damn nap.

the New York Yankees offense woke up last night and defeated the Mets 9-5. they'll go for the series win tonight at home. hopefully Gary Sanchez gets more at bats tonight. it was nice to see him get his first major league hit last night.

team USA women's soccer team won 2-0 yesterday. their toughest game of the group stage comes up on this weekend against France.

Any Given Wednesday was pretty interesting last night. i'm not a big fan of Caitlyn Jenner, but it was an interesting interview.

NXT was really good last night. it was nice to see Hideo Itami finally come back from injury and i can't wait to see what Bobby Roode does in NXT.

CWC was totally amazing last night. the match between Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa was match of the year quality. i can't wait to see what the next round of the tournament brings.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. our satellite went out for some fucking reason during the middle of it. like all technology anymore, the first thing i fucking do is just reboot the damn thing. sure enough, 3 minutes later everything was working again. thankfully, i already knew what was going to happen on the show. it looks like Da'Vonne is going to get evicted tonight. unless she has the round ticket in her envelope, which would make for some great television tonight.

Tyrant was excellent last night. the twists and surprises just keep on coming.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother and Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast this morning. a fascinating interview with the latest jobber of the WWE. i highly recommend it. you can find it by going here:

the internet has been going in and out today. i think the heat is affecting that as well. good times.
