it rained last night and some this morning. pain either keeps me awake or forces me to sleep. this afternoon, it was very sunny and in the 60's. i had shorts on when i went to Kroger to get my pills.
Monday Night Raw was very good last night.
a delightful trip into the dark mind of an evil genius or simply the musings of an asshole

Monday Night Raw was very good last night.
today has been one of those days where if i could have slept the entire day, i would have. but, since it is nearly impossible for me to sleep more than 3 hours at a time, i at least got a few naps in.
yesterday, mom had some people over for an early Thanksgiving of sorts. i thought it went pretty well. the food was good. all in all, not bad.
the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at home against the Browns, 35-14.
so, yet another night where i only got 4 hours of sleep. but, i do feel like i had a pretty damn productive day yesterday. i know where my next 8 poems are going. plus, i got a good shower in and actually did decent on some bets. so, let us begin...
Ohio State defeated Northwestern yesterday at Wrigley Field, 31-7.
so, i got 3 hours of sleep last night. i woke up this morning and realized mom kept the coffee pot on last night. i woke her up and let her know. she thought for sure she had turned it off. so i had to get that soaking, since we don't have a backup pot. (mom destroyed that one years ago doing the same damn thing) she had tea this morning instead of coffee.
i did type up those 4 poems last night. i should get some poems out before Thanksgiving.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.
i sat at the car dealership for 3 hours today. now, i did get 4 poems written and went through 3 sticks of gum. after all that and $444, the Highlander was back to good. they had to completely replace the thermostat. there is a 1,000 mile warranty on it. so, i figure it will hit the fan when 1,001 miles hits. i'm going to type up the poems later tonight. after those 3 hours, i then had to go grocery shopping for the third fucking day in a row. i hate grocery shopping on Fridays. i survived, found just about everything mom had on the list. made it home in time to eat lunch at 5 PM. and people wonder why i always have a big breakfast.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:

we got over an inch of rain last night. i did manage to get some sleep, but certainly not enough. i didn't get any poems written last night, although a few lines did come to me in my sleep. now the test will be if they remain in my brain and one day find the blank page. time will tell.
the Dayton Flyers won last night at home over Ball State, 77-69.
i might have got almost 5 hours of sleep last night. some weird dreams, but that's nothing new. the grocery shopping went pretty well today. i got really lucky with getting gas today at Kroger. i had $1 off to use, so i ended up getting gas for $1.65 after that $1 off. as soon as i got done filling up, the price changed to $3.09. add in that the woman running the cash register today didn't scan my Dial Body Wash... the little victories mean so much these days.
The Voice last night was really good.
so i woke up this morning after 3 hours of sleep and had to take a shit. that started a morning that was a comedy of errors. by 10 AM, i had taken 4 shits, had breakfast and was in the process of trying to get some more sleep. i always remember Dan Soder's joke about if you want to get good sleep, have a big meal. i did make it to Kroger this afternoon to get my prescription. it was sunny but cold today.
Monday Night Raw was very good last night.
happy veterans day to all the veterans out there...
i actually caught up on some sleep today. that wasn't what i had originally thought i was going to do, but apparently my body had different plans.
the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at home against Atlanta, 20-17. that ended their 7 game losing streak.
i heard back from Cindy at Yellow Mama on my recent poetry submission. my poems "this harrowing reality", "boy genius" and "on an empty stomach" have been accepted for publication. they are scheduled to be used in issue #109, due out April 15, 2025.
it started raining last night. i could feel it in my bones long before it started here. after 3 hours of sleep, it was still raining this morning. it is supposed to stop here soon. i'll believe that when i see it.
Ohio State whipped Purdue yesterday, 45-0.
my poem "because of my poetry" has been published at The Beatnik Cowboy. you can read the poem by going here:

i was proud of myself last night. i got everything done and was in bed before 3 AM. so, imagine my dismay when i woke up and the clock had 4:45 AM on it. fuck me. i guess i'm sleeping in 2 hour intervals. joy.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both excellent last night.
i heard back from Cristina at Synchronized Chaos on my poetry submission from earlier today. my poems "all their little trophies", "the day of the dead", "games on the radio", "election day" and "haven't found a sheep yet" have been accepted for publication.
i slept like shit last night. tossed and turned all evening. felt like i had been in a car crash when i finally woke up. good times.
the New York Rangers had their asses handed to them last night, losing at home to Buffalo, 6-1.
i just sent out 11 poems. 3 each to The Beatnik Cowboy and Yellow Mama; 5 to Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.
i always love the days where the back pain stops me dead in my tracks and i can do nothing but put ice on it and hope it fucking works. that was pretty much my morning today. good times.
i did get mom to the hair salon on time. she got her hair washed (both of her shoulders hurt so bad most days it is harder for her to do it; can't bring herself to asking me to help) and got a few dashes of purple in it. as i was waiting, i wrote 4 poems. i typed those up when we got back home. i should have some poems to send out tomorrow to more than one place, thankfully.
NXT last night was excellent.
