snow covered roads, a dead cat, and the many things i think about while walking on ice...

when i got up this morning, thankfully the sun was out. it was almost 10 degrees outside. i'm pretty sure it got close to zero last night... i know the wind chill certainly was. an old house can tell you that in a heartbeat. we made it to 21 degrees today as the high. i'm glad we have skipped over 2 months of weather and just went right into January. fuck me running.

i went out to feed the cats today and one of the young ones was dead. this is why i don't name them before they survive a winter out here. i will be very thankful when i no longer have any pets to care for. i didn't like it as a child and i can't say my thoughts have changed as an adult. of course, i'll have to find something else to write poems about. i guess i'll have to start talking to people again. god help me.

the New York Rangers had their asses handed to them last night, 5-1. what a god awful game to watch. Tampa Bay outplayed them for 60 fucking minutes. thankfully, i had other things to watch. the Rangers play again tomorrow night against the Flyers. hopefully, they will decide to put forth a little effort, unlike last night.

Monday Night Raw was a clusterfuck. i thought a couple of the matches were good but the booking right before a major ppv was shitty, and that's being kind. if Ryback is supposed to be the man once again, then why is Cena putting HHH through a table? it's the little things that this creative staff just pisses away and they can't understand why it makes a difference. the ppv on Sunday is FREE and i'm still not watching it. and what truly sucks is the company has the talent to have some of the greatest shows on Earth. a damn shame.

Gotham was great last night. a nice little twist at the end that made me smile. that should make for some great television for the fall finale next week.

i caught bits and pieces of The Voice last night and this morning on YouTube. nothing truly blew me away so i'm not sure who's going to make the top 10 tonight.

i did enjoy The Roots and Jimmy Fallon filling in for U2 last night. hopefully they do something cool like that each night.

and i managed to stay up late enough to catch Metallica as they begin their week long residency on Craig Ferguson's show.

that was fun to fall asleep to.

tonight i'll be watching The Voice and maybe some college basketball. i suppose i'll try to catch some hockey as well as my fantasy team tries to dig out of the hole that came from last night.

this afternoon i watched Ireland's B team absolutely destroy the USA 4-1. what a fucking waste of an afternoon. that was certainly not how i wanted 2014 to end for them. hopefully the World Cup hangover doesn't last for most of 2015 as well.

we're supposed to get some snow again tomorrow. so i'll probably try to get into town early so i don't have to deal with that shit. they didn't do much at all to the roads out here in the sticks. of course, when i got into town to go to the post office, it was like driving on freshly paved roads. that's certainly one thing i will enjoy moving away from the farm. you know you've been on one too many country roads in your life when the first thing you think when you see snow is turn into the skid.

that's all for me today. hope you are warm wherever you may be. all 3 of you. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...
