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.

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...
