just enough rain to make me miserable...

 it was a fine mist/drizzle all fucking day today. just enough to make me miserable. add in the fact i woke up late... that meant i missed just about all of the France vs. Morocco World Cup game. but, i did get all the grocery shopping done. i had to make a special trip to Meijer today. we had a Christmas tree die on us last night. the lights completely fizzled. i can't really complain. we had the tree more than 10 years. so, i went to Meijer and found the Charlie Brown Christmas tree. i figure that is the perfect tree for this Christmas.

France defeated Morocco today at the World Cup, 2-0. that sets up a World Cup final of France vs. Argentina. Croatia will play Morocco in the 3rd place game.

the finale of The Voice last night was good. i wasn't really surprised when Bryce won last night.

NXT was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, AEW Dynamite, Saturday Night Live Christmas Special and Hard Knocks.

the New York Knicks play tonight at Chicago.

here are your NBA highlights from last night.

2 wins away from the promised land...

 the New York Rangers won last night over the Lightning, 3-2. i love that the Rangers snapped that winning streak for Tampa Bay. the series now heads down south for Games 3 and 4. the Rangers are up 2-0 in the series. as much as i would love a sweep, all i really want is the Rangers to find a way to win 2 more games in this series. they haven't been to the Stanley Cup final since 2014.

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

the New York Yankees whipped the Tigers last night, 13-0. hopefully, they will beat them again this afternoon.

AEW Rampage was excellent last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was very good last night.

Pause with Sam Jay was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight.

i do plan on watching some hockey and soccer today, most likely. i'll be watching WWE NXT In Your House tonight on Peacock.

i did feed the birds this morning. it is suppose to be a really nice weekend. i've opened up the house again today. hopefully, i will be able to do it tomorrow as well.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning. 

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

the deadly heat

when i went out to try to kill a squirrel eating on the bird food this morning, i noticed that it was already the air you can wear. this was at 9 in the morning. i can just imagine what it is going to feel like this afternoon when it's supposed to get up into the 90's. thankfully, i will be inside. my best friend Paul is coming over today to watch the Gold Cup game after he gets off of work.

Manchester United won 1-0 last night over Club America. i thought for it being the first friendly of the new season, the team looked good enough. i don't think anyone got injured last night, so that's a plus. Morgan Schneiderlin scored the only goal. LVG said he wants to buy two more players. if they are the right ones, i think this could be a dynamic year for the club.

Treehouse Masters was really good last night. as was NJPW.

the New York Yankees got the second half of the season off to a good start last night, winning 4-3. A-Rod homered in the bottom of the 7th for the difference in the game. this gives the Yankees their biggest lead in the division all season. they play again this afternoon.

i heard back from Raw Dog Press yesterday. they passed on the poems i sent. that ticked me off a bit as i wrote the poems with that press in mind. i'll have to do some hunting to find publishers that want poems that are 7 lines or less.

we actually made it back from the grocery store yesterday before the storms hit. i was shocked.

enjoy some music, some humor, some food and some art you fuckers:

team USA plays a Cuba team today that is missing players. hopefully that means they will win this game "easily" and advance to the semifinals of the Gold Cup.

today is really going to just be trying to beat the heat and hopefully enjoying some victory beers. other than ROH tonight, i have no clue what i'll be watching. most likely i will be helping mom put up stuff around the house. or i'll trick Paul into doing that. probably not.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. enjoy the sun, some drinks, a hot fuck in the air conditioning and maybe a nice cigar afterwards. or maybe a glass of wine. just don't pass out and piss your pants. thankfully, i was alone when that happened. and it was a little more than number 1. let's just say that set of bedding is buried in a dump somewhere now. but, i did figure out that i was lactose intolerant. file this under how The Big Lebowski helped save my life.

once again, enjoy the visual.

hello to the sun

nothing like going outside in the morning and you can feel the oh fuck heat coming already. i decided to make sure the birds had enough food in case they venture out into the heat. i think a good portion of today will be spent inside. mom wants to go over to the farm before it closes tomorrow. hopefully we do that much later in the day.

the New York Yankees got some great pitching last night from Tanaka and two blasts from a weak ass hitter, beating the Nationals 6-1. they play again this afternoon. that makes 7 wins in a row.

also this afternoon, the USA men's soccer team takes on Germany. i'd be thrilled with a draw but the team believes after beating the Dutch, they can beat anyone now. we'll see:

Deadliest Catch was pretty interesting last night. i can't imagine spending Christmas working on a crab boat.

i did watch plenty of the NBA Finals last night. 2 Cleveland wins away now from a deity walking among us. LeBron is playing out of his mind and the small punk kid i saw play once at UD Arena is now turning into a star. fucking Matthew Dellavedova:

Cleveland won 96-91. LeBron went for 40 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals. enjoy witnessing someone in their prime.

here's some funny shit from last night:

and let me just say, Reggie Watts is a fucking genius:

a quick music break as i go get some water:

my Wednesday nights have turned into pro wrestling nights. i figure that beats watching a bunch of ex-New York Rangers playing in the Stanley Cup Final. on the DVR tonight will be ROH, TNA and Lucha Underground. i will be watching the WWE Network at 8 to see NXT. sounds like a good way to beat the heat.

that's really all for me today. hopefully i will find out what the truck went for here soon. the guy that did the auction has sort of blown us off now that we don't have anything else to sell. let's just say mom isn't very happy with that.

hopefully it's not 90 and fucking humid as hell where you are.

getting older

i had to drive my mother to her doctor's appointment today. they had to inject something into the ear she had her shunt put in. it was a little unnerving to watch your mother grab on to the chair like she was being killed. thankfully, she wasn't. hopefully this injection does the trick. i certainly know she doesn't want another one.

i was up really late last night. mostly just fucking around on YouTube. i did get to see the new episode of Video Game High School. it was a really dark episode at times. but, having experienced a few deaths in my life, i thought they did a pretty good job of acting it out. the stages of grief can be a motherfucker at times.

the New York Rangers lost a heart breaker last night, 4-3 in a shootout. at least they got a point out of the game with a defense that mostly belongs in the AHL. it was nice to see Martin St. Louis start scoring. that will certainly help in the upcoming games. they play again tomorrow night.

my 14 point lead in fantasy football became a 15 point loss by the end of the game last night. that team is basically dead in the water now at 3-6. my other team is 6-3 and in first place in the division. so, at least i should have one team make the playoffs. i went 10-3 picking games last night. that's more like it.

had a little busy day on NoiseTrade. i'll provide the links below.

Monday Night Raw was really good last night. might be the best episode in months.

Gotham was fucking awesome. that show is damn near perfect.

Men in Blazers was really funny last night. they seem to be really hitting their stride now.

The Voice was good last night. my girl Reagan James did great once again. she's definitely my choice right now to win it all. tonight is the recap of all the knockout rounds. i can't wait for the live shows.

i did write two poems today when i was out with my mother. i will probably type those up late tonight.

i saw this last night and laughed my ass off...enjoy:

not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. i definitely need to get my laundry done and get some poems mailed out. i'm guessing early evening.

hope everyone is doing good. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

finally, the weekend...

amazingly, i got close to 6 hours of sleep last night. for me, that's the equivalent of getting almost 10. so, i was wide awake this morning. as i was getting ready to come down the stairs, i noticed 4 deer in the backyard. it was pretty funny as they were grazing along and then came up to the fence. i imagined that one of them said, who the fuck put this here. 5 minutes later, they were still figuring out how to get around it. as entertaining as that may be, i got on the computer as i wanted to get my shit done early this morning.

the Rangers won last night, 2-1 in a shootout. watching it was like trying to pull teeth. they were playing a team of guys that should be in the AHL, and were getting outplayed by a mile. but, 2 points is 2 points. here are the only highlights of the game that mattered:

i believe their next game is on Sunday against San Jose. they will have to play much better if they want to get a win in that one.

my mother was crushed by the Jets losing last night. she didn't expect them to win, but to get that close... i think i have created a monster now. she never cared about sports until my passion for them overtook the house. i laugh when my mother starts cussing at the television now. speaking of cussing, my running back from New England basically did fucking nothing last night. so, i'm trailing in both of my fantasy football matches. good times.

in a few hours i'll be on the way to Columbus to watch the Blue Jackets take on Calgary tonight. i have a guy on my fantasy team from each team. i do hope it is a little more exciting than the last one. since the Rangers aren't playing tonight, i won't be looking at the out of town scoreboard as much. not sure where we'll be eating after the game with my sister, but since she's driving, i suppose it's wherever she takes us.

hopefully i'll get home in time to watch the season finale of The Knick on Cinemax and the premiere of the Foo Fighters show on HBO. i get the feeling i'm going to be up late tonight.

thankfully, Manchester United doesn't play until Monday and Ohio State plays at 3:30 pm, so i'll be able to get some sleep.

i should be on here tomorrow before the Ohio State game, unless mom wants to go to the store and then who knows when i'll squeeze in a post.

hope everyone has a great weekend. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

rainy days and me don't get along...

i went out to feed the cats today and it was drizzling. by the time i got out to the barn most of them stay in, it was pouring. thankfully, i was wearing a hoodie so i wasn't going to get fucking drenched. but, bending down to put in food and water wasn't much fun.

Monday Night Raw was very hit and miss last night. the parts that did hit though, were fucking great. The Rock coming back out of nowhere to confront Rusev and Lana was awesome. i love when i can mark out like a kid at something i've been watching for more than 35 years. Dean Ambrose was fucking awesome last night. that guy is going to be a legend by the time his career is over.

The Voice was pretty good. i caught most of it on YouTube.

Gotham was great last night. the ending was fucking perfect. i love this show.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty good last night. i caught most of that on YouTube late last night.

Men in Blazers was pretty funny last night.

i have no clue what i'm going to watch tonight. maybe some baseball, maybe some PBS. maybe i'll do the smart thing and get some fucking sleep.

i did win my fantasy football match last night. i quit watching the game when Seattle's kicker got me the points i needed to win. i've got some tricky roster decisions to make for this upcoming week. needless to say i'll be up late tonight to see if i get lucky in waivers or not. i need some running backs immediately.

mom and i went to Waffle House tonight for dinner. i figure that beats fast food for the evening. then, we stopped by the store in town. i always love the looks i get when i'm in there. like they haven't seen some bearded dude wearing a black Gremlins shirt before.

i need to get some music together to sell sometime tomorrow. hopefully it won't be raining as i don't want to drive my truck that far in the rain. hopefully i can make enough money to get a fucking haircut before i go to the hockey game this weekend. considering i'll be wearing the Rangers colors in an enemy building, i'd like to look my best while being an asshole.

that's pretty much all for me. i'll be back on here tomorrow after i have a little adventure. of course, if for some reason that doesn't happen, i'll be on here in the afternoon as usual.

thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your time.

elimination and nostalgia

i was driving home from the bar yesterday when the Yankees were finally eliminated from having any chance to make the playoffs this season. sadly, i was not surprised but i was happy in some sick sense. perhaps now the team will make some changes; philosophy, players, management, SOMETHING... i can only imagine what would happen if The Boss was still running the show. now, the last 4 games of this season will be about Derek Jeter, not that the previous 158 weren't all about him. if they actually get the game in tonight, it will be somewhat surreal to know that this is the final home game of his career. a big thank you to the Captain for a great 20 years. there will be plenty of moments to remember for the rest of my life.

i had a good time yesterday at the sports bar catching up with Paul, my best friend from high school. it definitely brought back the memories. he's coming over to the farm this weekend for the Ohio State game.

the Yankees lost 9-5 yesterday by the way. Jeter went 0-4. i have to think he's not going to do that again tonight. of course, it would be the 2014 Yankees if he did.

Big Brother went as i expected last night. the look of shock on the faces when they found out Derrick is a cop was priceless. i enjoyed it even more when Frankie didn't win America's Favorite Player. the look on that asshole's face will have me laughing for months. i wonder how long until Cody realizes he made a $450,000 mistake by not blindsiding Derrick in the end. i saw that the show got renewed for another 2 seasons. guess i'll be enjoying this guilty pleasure when i'm 40.

The Bridge was great last night. i absolutely can't wait for the season finale next week for two reasons. one, it looks like it is going to be an edge of your seat season finale. and two, it means American Horror Story is one week away.

i'll be making a trip to the grocery store this afternoon to hopefully pick up my pills and get some supplies for this weekend (beer, chips, etc.). plus, i do believe we need some shit for the animals out here. thankfully, i think Tractor Supply is having a sale.

tonight starts the NFL week with a game i couldn't give two shits about. i probably won't watch much of it as there are some good college games on as well. this is assuming that the Yankees game is going to be in a rain delay for god knows how long.

i saw on tv this morning that it is National One Hit Wonder Day. that certainly brought back nearly all the music i listened to in the 80's to mind. let alone the drivel in the 90's that falls under that. here is probably my favorite one hit wonder of all time:

that's pretty much it for me today. i'll be on here tomorrow after a trip to the doctor's and getting my blood drawn. that's always fun.

i thought the weekend was for relaxing...

the fog from early this morning has finally started to burn off. i got a good laugh from the wild turkeys in the lane scaring off the little birds as they came up to the house. of course, they started to scatter when my cat Whitey looked at them and started to think... i believe all of them are safely in the back woods now.

after i feed the cats this morning, i'll be making a trip to the store with my mother. she's going to a conference for a few days next week, so she thinks it would be nice if there was some food in the house for me. so kind. i actually believe she wants me to come along to lift the heavy shit we have to get at the tractor supply store.

the Yankees won last night 5-3. 3 wins in a row. the fools are starting to think they can still actually make the playoffs. i won't believe until they actually do it. Jeter had another good game. i figure this next week is going to be him trying to turn back the clock. they play again this afternoon. i don't like their chances given the pitching matchup.

the Big Brother episode was better than i thought it was going to be last night. i'm not a big fan of the flashback episodes, especially when you've watched most or all of the season. the season finale of the show will be Wednesday night. i will be shocked if Derrick doesn't win it all.

The Knick last night was excellent. the ending was especially creepy. i do love the detail in which they go into for a historical type of show. plus, i do love a show that is graphic. now, if i would just remember that it's on Friday nights and not recall that i missed it when i'm getting ready for bed at 2 in the morning...

when i get back from the store, unless there is something important in the mail, it will be a day of sports and who knows what else. there are a few college football games i want to watch today. plus, a few good soccer matches over in Europe.

late tonight i'll watch ROH. hopefully it will be another great episode.

Manchester United plays early tomorrow morning. so i'll probably be on here after that game.

i had some fun this morning on iTunes. i bought four songs, one that has been stuck in my head for weeks now. the other three were spur of the moment decisions. mostly, i just go wherever my ears get excited.

for those following the stories within this blog, high school football didn't go as i wanted last night and i heard that i missed one great concert. oh well. one day i'll have something close to a disposable income.

that's all for me this morning. i do hope all 3 of you that read this have a wonderful Saturday. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.
