 the rain started yesterday when i went to Kroger to pick up some prescriptions. it is now close to noon the next day and it hasn't stopped. fun times.

this coffee better work...

 i'm still working on a huge mug of coffee this morning. i didn't get to sleep until 5 this morning. ah, the joys of a poet's life on the weekend. where watching porn is actually "research" and sleep is an option that no one ever fucking needs. i guess Wild Turkey had more of a say in the night than i even thought.

Manchester United played a lifeless 0-0 draw yesterday against Chelsea. the optimist in me could say well, at least they didn't lose at home or the defense played good enough for a clean sheet finally. but, i'm not a fucking optimist.

Ohio State whipped Nebraska yesterday, 52-17. considering Nebraska scored first and made it look really easy, i was pleased with how the defense stepped up over the course of the game. next up for Ohio State is a trip to Penn State next Saturday night.

i did watch a good portion of Indiana upsetting Penn State in OT yesterday. i guess someone got caught looking ahead.

i also caught the last half inning of the World Series last night. that was fucking crazy.

ROH was excellent last night.

Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night.

Austin City Limits had Rufus Wainwright on last night. it was excellent.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Our Cartoon President, The Good Lord Bird, The Comedy Store, Desus & Mero, The Undoing, Last Week Tonight and Seduced: Inside The NXIVM Cult. i'll be watching WWE Hell in a Cell for most of the evening.

the New Orleans Saints play at home today against the Panthers. New Orleans is missing a ton of players today between injuries and COVID-19. i'm bracing for the worst today.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm hoping for the early afternoon, but given how the weather is supposed to be around here, your guess is as good as mine.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday is even better.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

wear your mask.

one of those Fridays where i should have just stayed in bed...

i guess with death always in the news and certainly on my mind the last few days, today i reached my breaking point. next thing i knew, i was down one rabbit hole on YouTube and 3 hours had passed. so yeah, i'm not sure what's going to kick me out of this depression. i may try doing a recording this weekend, just for shits and giggles, to see how it comes out. i know i have a few poems in mind for my next SoundCloud recording.

the freeze warning starts tonight at midnight. nothing like listening to the furnace run all night in May. i think we're supposed to get down to the low 20's. fuck me.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Shelter in Place with Shane Smith was excellent last night.

No Mercy, No Malice with Professor Scott Galloway was great last night. i highly recommend that everyone watches it. below is the first episode.

Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

Total Bellas was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Real Time with Bill Maher and Betty. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i did watch some of the NFL schedule release last night. i like the New Orleans Saints schedule for the most part, other than one horrible road swing in the second half of the season. playing the Vikings in New Orleans on Christmas will be rather interesting.

all the songs in the music section today are from Belly Up Live. if you love live music, definitely check them out: http://bellyuplive.com/

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

hopefully i will be in a better mood, but don't get your hopes up.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands...

until tomorrow...

a rainy day and a bad back, not a good combination...

as i was in agony in the massage chair this morning, i told my mother these are the days why so many people become fucking addicts. i then started tapping my arm and asked for a lighter and a spoon. she laughed, mostly because with her fucked up back, she knows the misery. it's also why she probably won't leave me any money when she dies either.

i was in so much pain this afternoon that my body just shut down and went to sleep. of course, it doesn't help that i didn't get to bed until 4:30 this morning and woke up to a phone ringing a little before 9. joy.

the New York Rangers must have got the message from their coach last night about how will ALWAYS beats skill. they actually played a full 60 minutes last night, defeating the Lightning 4-1. now they have the blueprint on what they need to do each game for the rest of the season.

Manchester United defeated Chelsea today 2-1 in the League Cup. holy shit, that's 3 away wins in a row. i must be dreaming.

The Voice was pretty good last night.

Total Divas was good last night.

Mayans M.C. was excellent last night. the season finale next week should be amazing.

Mr. Mercedes was great last night.

The Jim Jefferies Show was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, AEW, American Horror Story, Cake and The Bronx, USA.

i'm going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow, mostly because my physical therapy appointment is later in the afternoon and there is a shitload of wrestling on tomorrow that i want to watch. so, the morning is basically the only time i could do the blog.

Game 7 of the World Series is tonight. the road team has won every game. hopefully, that continues tonight.

it's still fucking raining, so i'm off to my massage chair for yet another session with ice packs. joy.

until tomorrow kids...

it's not easy doing math on the fly in a damn zoo...

i don't know what makes the grocery store a fucking zoo at 2 in the afternoon on a Friday in October. is it the possibility of fucking snow in the air tomorrow night? is it the rush to get shit done before high school football? is it the need to buy lottery tickets? ok, i do understand that one. if the line wouldn't have been 15 fucking people deep at the time, i probably would have got some tickets as well. anyways, i was able to get everything on the list and keep it under $100. mom was fucking shocked.

a little poetry update. i did send out 23 poems this morning. 3 to Red Eft Review (already heard back, 1 accepted for publication) and 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Academy Of The Heart And Mind, Fourth & Sycamore and North of Oxford. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

i did watch plenty of LeBron's first game for the Lakers last night. now, as a Sacramento Kings fan, to watch the Lakers lose was delicious to see. but, i am also a LeBron fan and i am fascinated to see the circus this season with him on the Lakers. let's just say, he didn't disappoint last night.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty funny last night.

Young Sheldon was very funny last night.

Will & Grace was fucking hilarious last night. i swear the show is just as good as it was back in the day.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW, Real Time with Bill Maher and Pod Save America.

i'll probably watch some hockey at some point tonight as well.

i will be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays at Chelsea in the morning.

i'm not expecting to be in a good mood.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

and the pain in your left food goes back more than 20 years

i woke up to the sounds of thunder this morning. that made me quickly know why i was in pain. but, i did get a poem out of it, so there's that. i typed it up after i took a shower this morning. i really like it. my sister made breakfast and took some to my uncle this morning. i guess his blood sugar went way down this morning and my mother had to go racing over to the nursing home with some glucose pills, which apparently the nursing home didn't have. how that is even fucking possible is beyond me. i'm sure my sister didn't think she would be dealing with this shit today. i suppose she really can't wait to pack her car and get the fuck out of here. i don't blame her.

i watched most of the NFL game last night. i had the tight end from the Eagles. if he wouldn't have had that damn fumble, i would have been very happy. i did pick the game right though. today is going to be an interesting one. i will know by late tonight if i win any fantasy football championships this season. i have a lead in both of the finals i'm in.

i'm in a bit of a pickle though. i will always root for my New Orleans Saints but today they are facing the quarterback (Blake Bortles) i have starting for both of my teams in the finals. that should tell you how god awful the Saints defense has been this season. if the Saints could win but in a crazy fucking shootout where both teams score in the 40's, i'll be thrilled.

ROH last night was a best of the year show. it was mostly highlights of matches ROH did with NJPW and the great match between Jay Lethal and Jay Briscoe. all in all, a great hour of pro wrestling.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight so i imagine i will either be watching football or catching up on shit on the DVR i haven't watched yet.

i treated myself to a gift last night. i bought a Stephane Matteau autograph picture from Steiner Sports. i've got an idea of where i'm going put it. i got these hockey pucks that are nightlights that are made to look like they were shot through the wall. i figure i will put a light on both sides of the photo, probably right above my door. i figure that would be a nice place to highlight a moment from the best game of the 1994 playoffs. and to think i got it for under $60 with shipping.

i got a couple of songs from NoiseTrade the other day. i'll put those links down in the music section.

i think a cold front is getting close to the area now. the pain in my left foot is from the scar tissue from when i broke it back in 7th grade. and that only radiates like this when a massive cold front is coming. maybe it will actually start to feel like winter soon.

i hope this finds everyone escaping the holiday blues and enjoying a soothing drink of something strong.

with a bit of snow flying in the air

mom had this great idea today of going to the grocery early in the afternoon. when we pulled up and she noticed there wasn't many parking spots open, i said i guess everyone else had the same thought as you. when we got into the store, she noticed all the kids and then suddenly realized that school was out for Christmas break and all the kids got dragged to the store today. i was busy noticing that since it got cold and there was some snow in the air, the ladies had their come fuck me boots on. that should bring a poem or two.

i have decided that i'm going to have fun with all these fuckers on Google+ that try to scam me. i figure my address is public. if you have the balls to come find me, then we'll have some fun. i'm sick and fucking tired of wasting my time online. the cunt today from Florida was the perfect example. she wants to come visit me on Dec. 23rd. i said you are more than welcome. i have no problem with any stranger knocking on the door. i learned a long time ago, i don't have to open it.

i've been a big fan of the NPR Tiny Desk Concert series. imagine my joy last night when i realized they put the audio from those on iTunes. needless to say i've been listening to all 11 i downloaded all day long.

The Big Bang Theory was excellent last night. i was laughing my ass off while recalling my first time. damn near 20 years ago now. fuck i feel old all of a sudden.

Life in Pieces was awesome as well. i also watched the Bear Grylls show with President Obama. i just don't understand how anyone can say climate change doesn't exist.

the New York Rangers hung tough for 50 minutes last night. unfortunately, they got their asses handed to them in the last 10 losing to Minnesota 5-2. they lost their backup goalie to an injury last night on top of things. they play tonight in Winnipeg, another tough place to play. they might be getting back some injured players tonight. they need them badly.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Knick.

i am under the impression were going to be getting Christmas shit up finally tonight. i guess my sister texted my mom today and said she was coming early. i laughed and asked my mom if we were going to put up decorations or just let my sister do it and bitch us out the entire time. maybe that will get my mother going.

i did pick the NFL game right last night. thankfully, i missed most of the game between ketchup and mustard.

i will most likely be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the morning tomorrow. hopefully i will be in a good mood.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. if you waited to do your shopping, enjoy the crowds.
