just a couple branches down here...

here comes the weekend and maybe, a tornado...

 it has been incredibly muggy today. my old bones are screaming, so i know some shit is coming this way. now, i'm hoping it won't be a tornado or any damaging winds, but i know damn well, there is rain on the way.

i got mom to her appointment this morning on time. she was getting the injection into her back at the south office. that is 40 minutes away. i did get 5 poems written out in the Highlander. i typed those up this afternoon. i had to go out and get her pills at Kroger. so, i decided to stop by Big Lots to see if they had any baseball cards. i ended up buying $45 worth of baseball, basketball and football cards. add in the $5 football box i got at Rite Aid before i went to Kroger, and those $50 of cards ended up being worth close to $75. i have one more order coming from Topps.com and that will be the end of my buying for 2021. 

between the pills and the injections, i'm really hoping mom gets some relief from her pain.


the season finale of Cake last night was fucking weird as usual.


Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.


United States of Al was good last night.


B Positive was hilarious last night.


i did watch some of the NFL game last night.

i'm going to try to be on here in the morning before Manchester United plays tomorrow.



so the rain has started. oh joy. that's all for me kids...


i hope everyone has a great weekend.

the winter blues...

 it happens being a sports fan sometimes. you'll have teams you love, live and die with, etc., all play on the same day. and on the rare occasion, all of them will win. some days you have a mixed bag. yesterday was a day where that bag becomes a bag of shit.


Manchester United and Young Boys ended up in a 1-1 draw. Ralf took the chance to see a ton of young players play, which i understand. the group was already won and it was a good chance to see what he actually has at the club. i will be very interested to see who United draws for the next round of the Champions League.





the Dayton Flyers lost last night at SMU, 77-69. Dayton shot poorly from the 3 last night and their opponent didn't. end of story. Dayton plays at home on Sunday against Virginia Tech.



the New York Rangers lost to Colorado last night, 7-3.







Vice News Tonight had two interesting shows this week.



The Masked Singer was crazy last night. the season finale is next week.



the season finale of Alter Ego was good last night.



Hard Knocks was excellent last night.



AEW Dynamite was great last night.




enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Young Sheldon, United States of Al, B Positive, the season finale of Cake and Desus & Mero. i watched NXT UK this afternoon on Peacock. it was really good.






i have to take mom south of town tomorrow morning to get an injection for her back. i'm really hoping this helps with her pinched sciatic nerve as well. i haven't driven south of town in probably over a year, so it should be interesting. and of course, there is a chance of strong storms tomorrow and possibly a tornado tomorrow night. fuck me.


here are your NBA highlights from last night:



i might watch some of the Vikings vs. Steelers tonight, only because my sister's team is the Steelers.


i will probably be on here tomorrow in the afternoon.


i need to go figure out what is for dinner tonight.


until tomorrow kids...

response from Synchronized Chaos...

 i heard back from Cristina at Synchronized Chaos on my recent poetry submission. my poems "tickled my fancy", "just imagine my luck", "on my own", "in a never-ending pandemic" and "slower and slower" have been accepted for publication in the January 2022 issue.

Wednesday, December 8, 2021

the snow stayed away...

 so, i guess the snow we were supposed to get last night stayed to the south of us. i don't mind that, mostly because i didn't want to have to shovel this morning.

i did send out 5 poems this morning to Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from Cristina on those, i will pass along the verdict.

the New York Rangers won in Chicago last night, 6-2. they play tonight at home against Colorado.







NXT was really good last night.















The Voice was good last night. the 3 people i picked to make the finals a month ago did. that made me happy last night.



enjoy some music:






on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, AEW Dynamite, The Masked Singer, the season finale of Alter Ego and Hard Knocks.


Manchester United plays today at home against Young Boys in the Champions League. they have already qualified for the next round, so i am interested to see who starts the game today.



the Dayton Flyers play tonight on the road, at SMU. i would love to see Dayton win tonight. Dayton are 4 point underdogs.


i'm hoping mom has the grocery list done as i would love to get out of here soon and get the grocery shopping done.


here are your NBA highlights from last night:



i should be on here tomorrow in the afternoon.


until then kids...

one of those days...

 you ever have to shit while taking a shower? welcome to my morning. and lets just say, i didn't quite make it. so, of course, i was late to my appointment to get my blood drawn. but, only by 3 minutes. thankfully, everything went smooth while i was getting my blood drawn. after that was over, i went to the post office. i think the guy was happy i only had 3 packages he had to do the postage for. last year, it was 11. then i went back home and had breakfast. 

this afternoon, i went to Lowe's to get some things that mom needed. plus, since it is supposed to snow tonight, i got some salt to put out. after that, i got gas since i noticed i was down to a 1/4 tank. considering i have to drive mom somewhere on Friday, i knew i better fill it up.

my back is killing me. arthritis isn't far behind. and i need to get the trash picked up and figure out dinner. so yeah, the blog is going to be rushed through today. good times.

The Voice was really good last night. i have no clue who is going to get cut tonight as they go from 8 to the Final 5.







Monday Night Raw was good last night.










enjoy some music:





and now some of this and that:








on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NXT and The Voice.


i did listen to episode 372 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:



the New York Rangers play tonight at Chicago. hopefully, they will find a way to win again tonight.





i should be on here sometime tomorrow. i'm not sure when the snow is really supposed to hit. so, i might do the blog first thing in the morning and then go do the grocery shopping. i know Manchester United plays tomorrow in the Champions League. and then the Dayton Flyers and New York Rangers both play tomorrow night. so yeah, the morning might be the only time i have to write the blog.


i know i need to get the trash picked up, so that's all for me kids.


until tomorrow...

feel like a zombie...

 so, i guess i needed some sleep. 3 hours just wasn't going to cut it for today. i didn't get to bed until 6:30 this morning. i was up a little before 9:30. did my usual morning shit, got the Christmas cards into the mailbox, had breakfast and went to my massage chair. next thing i know, i was waking up and it was 4 in the afternoon. 3 of you getting Christmas cards from me this year will have yours mailed out tomorrow. i love a rural post office that closes a little after 4. but, since i have to get bloodwork done at 8:45 in the morning tomorrow, i know i will get to a post office on time then. good times.

NXT War Games was really good last night.









VICE was really good last night.


Dexter: New Blood was excellent last night.



Yellowjackets was good last night.


Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.


Power Book II: Ghost was really good last night.

i didn't get any writing done yesterday. it started to rain like the world was ending last night and my arthritis decided it was time for a bender. joy.


so, the plan for tomorrow is to get my blood drawn. then, go to the post office. and then i get to have breakfast and will hopefully get some poems written. and oh by the way, it is supposed to snow tomorrow. good times.


i did catch a little of the MLS yesterday. 



i hope everyone had a great weekend.


i will hopefully be on here tomorrow before the sun goes down.

been a busy boy...

 so, i got the other order of baseball cards i got from Small Business Saturday yesterday. these were from Repacked Wax in Akron, Ohio. i was thrilled with what i got. the highlight had to be the 1966 Topps Don Drysdale. i think the 4 best cards in the packs i got were worth more than what i paid for 10 packs. that is why i will always try to buy cards from Repacked Wax.

https://www.repackedwax.com/


the Dayton Flyers won yesterday over Northern Illinois, 79-41. they will have their first true road game coming up on Wednesday at SMU. that should be a good measuring stick to see how good they really are now.




the New York Rangers won last night over Chicago, 3-2.






to be honest, i didn't watch much of the college football games yesterday. i got all my Christmas cards done instead.


Austin City Limits was excellent last night.




i got up this morning in time to watch Manchester United take on Crystal Palace. i wanted to see how the new coach was going to set up the team. he played the same group that played against Arsenal, but had them attacking more. i will say this, it was way more entertaining than the last few months. Fred of all people scored the only goal of the match. United won 1-0.



enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Succession, Insecure, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Power Book II: Ghost, Hightown, VICE, Dexter: New Blood, Yellowjackets and Desus & Mero. i'll be watching NXT War Games on Peacock for most of the evening.


i think i am going to try to get some writing done this afternoon. i know i need to pound out some poems so i can send my end of the year submissions out.


i hope everyone had an excellent Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.


i should be on here tomorrow after a trip to the post office.

a foggy start to the day...

 i'm guessing by now, the fog has burned off. it was pretty thick when i woke up this morning.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.








AEW Rampage was really good last night.

i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the morning.

humans are a disease...

 i went out shopping today and holy shit... i almost forgot how much i hate humanity around the fucking holidays. as i told my mother as i was standing in line at Kroger waiting to get my pills, the fact i haven't killed anyone will go down as one of the greatest mysteries of mankind. i have lost all my patience for ignorance and stupidity. 


i got one of my orders from Small Business Saturday yesterday. some mystery baseball cards. i was hoping for something good. what i got was all 1988, 1989 and 1990 Donruss cards. the only thing that made it somewhat worthwhile was the Larry Walker rookie card that was in it all. so, i went to Meijer today to get some more pages for the cards. they had every fucking card out now stocked and no fucking pages. fuck me. they didn't even have the fucking coffee i was looking for. i did pick up some pages at Kroger, but they aren't as good or as nicely priced as the ones at Meijer. so yeah, between that and watching this old lady not know how to use a credit card and watching the cashier basically not help her until the 5th fucking try... what a fucking day.


Manchester United defeated Arsenal yesterday, 3-2. CR7 scored twice meaning he now has 801 goals for club and country. i'm very happy that in the 3 games Michael Carrick was the caretaker manager, the club never lost. now, i hope the new manager, who has a clear vision and knows what the fuck he wants and how to get it, can get the club playing together and with a clear purpose. i still want to believe that United can make the top 4 of the Premier League or even do some damage in the Champions League.








the New Orleans Saints lost last night to Dallas, 27-17. that's 5 losses in a row, a first under Sean Payton. i remember the Aints and bags over the fans heads, so all this is doing is bringing up shit from my youth.





Young Sheldon was good last night.


United States of Al was pretty good last night.


B Positive was pretty funny last night.


Cake was weird as usual last night.


Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

burning the candle at both ends...

 so, i got to sleep last night/this morning at 5:30 AM. i was up 3 hours later. joy.


since mom's sciatic nerve is killing her, she asked me to do the dishes last night. there wasn't much of them thankfully, but my bad back doesn't allow me to stand for more than 15 minutes at a time. good times.


the Dayton Flyers whipped Alabama State last night, 93-54. their defense is starting to remind me of Anthony Grant's teams at VCU. they play again at home on Saturday.




the New York Rangers beat Philadelphia last night, 4-1. the Rangers are better than i think anyone expected this season.







AEW Dynamite was really good last night.




The Masked Singer was great last night. i got the Skunk correct. i always knew it was Faith Evans.


Alter Ego was very good last night.


Hard Knocks was excellent last night.




enjoy some music:

Manchester United plays today at home against Arsenal. i really hope United finds a way to win today.



the New Orleans Saints play tonight at home against Dallas. the Saints will be without plenty of star players again tonight. hopefully, they pull off the upset. Dallas are 6 point favorites.



i think mom might be giving me a check today, so i might try to go to the bank before the Manchester United game.


she did end up canceling her appointment today. what she is afraid of is her nerve problem won't get any better anytime soon, so she may have to cancel her surgery for her skin cancer next week.

start the month off with pain...

 so, i had to sit in on mom's physical therapy session yesterday. i didn't get the chance to write any poems. i guess mom's sciatic nerve is pinched. plus, her left shoulder has some problems as does her right hip. at least she has the same physical therapist as she did two years ago. so, he knows what he's gotten himself into.


it is raining today, so this truly is the house of misery.


The Voice was good last night. i was a little surprised at one of the eliminations last night. but, the 3 i picked for the finals are still in it...

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at home against Alabama State. Dayton is a 20 point favorite. i'm hoping they actually play like one tonight for a change. it is supposed to be a full house tonight. i'm guessing the roars will be loud after that tournament win in Florida.


the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the Philadelphia Flyers. hopefully, the boys continue to find ways to win.



i want to thank everyone for checking out my latest published poems:





i should be on here tomorrow in the morning. i think mom is going to cancel her appointment tomorrow, so that should free up my day. this is the first time she has ever dealt with nerve pain. i'm trying to give her what i remember when i dealt with this shit 13 years ago.


that's all for me kids. i need to go ice my back and go get the groceries before the basketball game tonight.
