what to do when a toilet clogs and you can't find a plunger

apparently, i took a big of enough shit this morning that i clogged up the toilet. all those years on the farm with power flush toilets, i never even thought of needing a plunger. so, imagine my surprise when my mom uses the toilet and then runs into my room and asks why isn't the fucking toilet flushing? i went to the garage because i thought i remembered there was two plungers in there when we moved in. eventually i found them and of course, they didn't work for shit. so, off to the hardware store. funny thing is, mom and i were at a different hardware store last night. so we ended up getting a couple of plungers and a better outdoor timer for the Christmas lights. that was what we went out last night for. mom was hungry so we went to Waffle House for lunch. i figured that would be the true test to see if the plunger actually works. after lunch, i went to work. we got a plunger that's almost like an air tube you use to pump up tires or a basketball. thankfully, i got the damn thing unclogged before my damn back gave out. good times.

The Voice last night was pretty good. i think Jordan should win tonight, though if there is an upset, it will be because of Emily Ann's performance last night. that was the best performance she has done all season. but, nothing compares to the performance Jordan gave last week.

honestly, if that performance doesn't win him the show, i'll be shocked yet again.

i did pull off a little miracle last night and won the fantasy football match that i had to win. so, for the first time EVER, i have made the playoffs in all 3 leagues. given how crazy my life has been the last month or so, i'm pretty fucking happy with this. now, i've already pissed away the chance to win a championship in all 3, but i will be happier than a pig in shit if i win the other 2 leagues. it won't be easy.

i did enjoy the Adele special last night. it's hard to believe she hasn't done much performing in the last 4 years. she sounds as amazing as she ever has.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i didn't care for the pacing of the show, but the main event made up for everything. excellent storytelling, great action, and a true "organic" kind of moment with a new champion. i'll give Roman Reigns credit, to get thousand of fans to cheer for you less than a year after those same fans booed the shit out of you is impressive. hopefully he takes the ball and runs with it.

tonight on the DVR will be The Voice finale.

the New York Rangers will try to end their losing streak tonight at home against Edmonton. the game will mark the NHL debut of Brady Skjei. he's the young defenseman that i have been longing for the club to call up. hopefully he plays well enough to stay. and hopefully the team gets a damn win tonight.

in between the hockey and The Voice, i'll probably be helping mom with some Christmas shit as well as getting the trash ready to take out.

my uncle isn't home yet. i think the family has finally figured out that the chemo is whipping his ass much more than anyone thought it would. and sadly, that includes the doctors as well. hopefully my uncle also understands that he needs to be completely honest with the doctors and tell them exactly what is going on. as i learned with my stepfather, pride will kill you before cancer will.

and on that uplifting note, i bid you adieu.

i hope everyone had a great day. hopefully your Christmas shopping is done. but not before you remembered to get me something (HINT, HINT).

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...
