Happy Halloween

it has been raining here all day long. it reminds me of Halloween when i was a child. it seemed like everyone of them ended up with either rain, snow, or me in a fucking winter coat over a costume. i have always wanted to enjoy this day. i suppose if i grew up somewhere other than Ohio, it might have been possible.

Smackdown was really good last night. i love how they got around the fact that Daniel Bryan wasn't going to wrestle in Saudi Arabia. insert Samoa Joe. he solves most problems to be quite honest. and i will never tire of watching him and AJ Styles wrestle.

The Voice was pretty good last night.

The Jim Jefferies Show was hilarious last night.

Mayans M.C. was excellent last night. the season finale next week should be awesome.

the New York Rangers tried their best to piss away a win last night, even giving up the tying goal with 1.6 seconds left in the game. thankfully, they ended up winning the game in the shootout. the Rangers beat San Jose 4-3. that alcohol tasted so sweet last night before i went to bed.


enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lucha Underground, American Horror Story and Total Divas. i'll watch 205 Live and NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i did watch NXT UK this afternoon. it was very good.

hard to believe October is already at the end of the month. i guess i need to start thinking about what the fuck i'm getting people for Christmas this year.

i hope everyone enjoys Halloween. hopefully the weather is better in your neck of the woods.

i have to take mom and the Highlander to the dealership in the morning. hopefully, they can fix the tail light problem quickly. i don't want to have to fuck around with a rental and all that. or, maybe mom gets a wild hair up her ass and decides to replace a vehicle that was built in 2002.

i'll be on here sometime after all that is over.

a day of shopping

when mom told me she wanted to go out shopping after her eye appointment today, i figured she wanted to go shopping for herself. much to my surprise, it was an early Christmas for me today. first up was Dollar Tree, where she found the plastic placemats she has been looking for and a steamer for some vegetables. i got my usual batch of cheap football and baseball cards. then, we went to Shoe Carnival. they were having a buy one get one at 50% off sale, so mom told me to go look for some new shoes. i mentioned to her that i wanted some new shoes as the shoes i had were the shoes most likely to be worn by white nationalists. i decided i needed to change that ASAP. so, i found two pairs of Skechers that i really liked. they have the memory foam in them that really helps my feet. both of those with the sale were under $100. after that, we went to Big Lots where i got some socks and some more little notebooks. all in all, not a bad day. then we went out to lunch. that was where the day turned.

we were in this place long enough to sit down, figure out what we wanted to eat; mom went to the bathroom and came back and no one had been to the table yet. mom motioned over the manager and he was very apologetic. as the manager was talking to us, our waitress came up to the table. she got our drinks and we placed our orders. the appetizer came out and about 5 minutes later, our meals came out. mom got some chicken wings and i got this pizza i like. the problem was, how the waitress was carrying the pizza, half of it ended up face down on the table. she gave me the half that was still on the platter and told me she would bring me a new one. 10 minutes later, here comes a new one, hotter than shit, and partly burnt. oh joy. when we got done, mom asked what she should do for the tip. i told her not to give her more than 10%. what a shit show.

and to top it all off, the chili from last night started to kick in on the drive home. i went a route where i could avoid most school buses. of course, there was a fucking accident on the way i wanted to go. so, i had to go about 10 minutes out of my way. thankfully, no school buses and no explosions in my stomach. i made it to the toilet and holy hell was unleashed when i got home.

Monday Night Raw was okay last night. most of the show was spent hyping the matches this Friday in Saudi Arabia. man, that's going to be fucking awkward.

Lip Sync Battle was pretty good last night, but easily forgettable as well.

The Voice was really good last night. the knockouts are when the show really starts to get really, really good.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Jim Jefferies Show, The Voice and Mayans M.C.

the New York Rangers play tonight at San Jose. i will probably watch some of the game, hoping for something that probably won't happen, a victory.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. with it being Halloween, i don't know what mom will want to do. i don't think we're handing out candy, and i don't think we're going to my sister's house like we did in the past. hell, maybe i'll get some writing done tomorrow, that's a concept.

i just saw that there is rain in the forecast for tomorrow. oh fucking great.

if you are giving out candy, don't be a cheap ass. those are the houses that get destroyed. always remember that.

until tomorrow kids. i have trash to go pick up.

two out of three ain't bad

when i got into bed around 5 this morning, i was hoping i was going to sleep to noon. sadly, i only slept until a little after 10. i've been trying to be productive today, but my busy Sunday truly drained me a bit. but, i did feed the birds, clean the toilet and made some chili for tonight, that's not bad for being spent.

let's start at the beginning. Manchester United defeated Everton 2-1 yesterday. it was bit nervy at the end, but i'll gladly take the 3 points.

the New York Rangers pissed away a 2 goal lead yesterday and lost to the Kings 4-3. thank fucking god i didn't see the end of this game. considering the guy that scored the goal for the Kings was the same guy who scored the game winner when the Kings beat the Rangers in the Stanley Cup Final years ago. if i would have had to live through that again, i would have gone fucking nuts.

WWE Evolution was really good last night. i am so happy for the women that made this event a success. it was easily one of the better shows the WWE has done all year.

the New Orleans Saints took advantage of a sloppy Vikings team last night and won on the road, 30-20. this sets up a HUGE game next Sunday at home against the LA Rams.

The Deuce was excellent last night. the season finale is next week.

Camping was pretty funny last night.

Last Week Tonight was hilarious as usual.

the series finale of America to Me was very good. i thought the series did a good job of showing the shit show that is the educational system in this country.

Ray Donovan was good last night.

Kidding was dark and brilliant once again last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Lip Sync Battle. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i will probably make some cornbread with the turkey chili tonight. anytime i make chili, it's a sure sign that the cold is coming soon.

i will be on here tomorrow after mom's eye appointment. she says she's seeing better now than even after her cataract surgeries. so, that's good news.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

welcome to my busy day

today is one of those days where one event just sort of bleeds into the next and i will barely have time to fucking think or shit. good times.

more on that in a bit.

my sister stopped by here last night. the first thing she did was hand my mom a pamphlet about an old folks home. i believe my sister thought it was funny but if she saw mom's face, she would have realized it wasn't. and since she came at night, she didn't notice anything that we had done with the house until we started to point it out to her. my sister has always had this amazing ability to not give a shit about anything that wasn't about her in some way. and with that, she only chooses to remember the good shit. it's this willful ignorance she has that must be fucking bliss i suppose. i have never lived on that planet and probably never will.

Austin City Limits was excellent last night.

ROH was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the finale of America to Me, The Deuce, Camping, Last Week Tonight, Ray Donovan and Kidding. i will be watching WWE Evolution for most of the evening. it's the first all female ppv for WWE, so i'm hoping it's really good.

if i have any luck, i will take a shower before Manchester United plays at noon. they are taking on Everton. i'm hoping the boys can find a victory today.

after that, the New York Rangers play the LA Kings out in Los Angeles. hopefully, the Rangers will get a victory today.

and tonight, the New Orleans Saints go back to the scene of the crime when they play at Minnesota. that loss last year in the playoffs is still fucking fresh to me. i'd love to see the Saints get a victory.

with any luck, i will be enjoying 3 drinks tonight while catching up on the shows.

i think i found another place to send poems to. i want to write some more before i send to them though, since there is money involved.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully, your Sunday will be even better.

not quite as planned...

i woke up this morning from the threat of yet another cramp in my left leg. i told my mother i think maybe it's my inner child fucking with me, waking me up to go piss. joy.

i did send out 10 poems today. 5 each to The Hitchlit Review and Jotters United Lit Zine. i have never sent to either before, so i'm interested to see what the responses will be. when i get the verdicts back, i will pass them on.

i had to go back to the grocery store today. i had more pills to pick up, plus some items i forgot to get for mom yesterday. i told her i completely forgot because i didn't write them down on the list. thankfully, the rain wasn't as bad this morning as it was yesterday.

when i got home from the grocery store, the muse was calling me. for some reason, she likes to call me when she is driving. it's fucking hilarious at times, as she will provide a running commentary of all the fucking stupid drivers out there.

NJPW was pretty good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

Pod Save America was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Austin City Limits and ROH.

i figure the rest of my day is going to be spent doing my laundry and probably watching some college football.

i will probably be on here tomorrow in the morning. tomorrow is one of those crazy ass days i have sometimes when just about everything is going on around the same time. joy.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

a day of rain... oh joy

i woke up this morning in pain. i just knew it had to be raining. of course, it wasn't. that my friends is just pure fucking misery. and of course, this morning mom decided to push my buttons. so, pain, depression and now anger, ah, the morning trifecta. let's just say most of the morning my door was closed and i was brooding.

the New York Rangers lost last night to Chicago, 4-1. the Rangers only had 19 shots on goal. fucking pathetic.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty funny last night.

Young Sheldon was hilarious last night.

Will & Grace was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW, Real Time with Bill Maher and Pod Save America.

the grocery store was fucking crazy today. busy as hell. and since it was raining, everyone was pissy and on edge. joy. i managed to get everything on the list and keep it under $100.

i did do a little poetry work this morning. i'm going to send 10 poems tomorrow to 2 places i have never sent to before. this is my shits and giggles moment where i'm shooting in the dark, hoping for the best.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i send those poems out.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

that moment when you realize your mother is suddenly old...

mom asked me if i had any plans today. i thought that was curious given that my life is more or less doing whatever she asks me to do. when i told her no, she said she wanted to cook a good lunch. i laughed as lunch has now become her biggest meal of the day. so, about 30 minutes later, i noticed mom was sleeping in her bed. well, so much for that lunch. i did a round of exercises and got in my massage chair to take a damn nap. sure enough, about 30 minutes or so later, i hear her in the kitchen making food. so, i basically had dinner at 4 PM today. i told her thanks for getting me ready for the days where you'll want dinner before 5 and you'll be in bed by 7 so then i can actually have a life. she laughed. later on i told her if this is going to become the regular thing, it might be time for my sister to start taking some shifts. we both laughed at that thought.

i tracked my absentee ballot today. the state of Ohio got it yesterday and it will be included. oh boy.

the season finale of Mr. Mercedes was fucking great last night.

American Horror Story was fucking crazy last night.

Lucha Underground was really good last night. Ultima Lucha Cuatro starts next week.

Total Divas was pretty good last night. Rusev is a lucky, lucky man, that's for sure.

NXT was great last night. i love a damn good heel turn. i can't wait to see what they do with Johnny Gargano now.

205 Live was good last night.

NXT UK was really good last night.

Mae Young Classic was excellent last night. i really can't wait to see Toni Storm take on Io Shirai in the finals. that will happen this Sunday at WWE Evolution.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon and Will & Grace.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Chicago. i'd love to see the Rangers win again tonight.

i will probably watch some of the NFL game tonight as well, mostly because of the muse and her fantasy football team.

i did listen to episode 209 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:
http://notsam.com/wrestlingpodcast/2018/10/25/notsam-wrestling-209-becky-lynch

i could tell this afternoon while i was taking a shit there was rain coming. enjoy that visual.

and of course it would rain tomorrow. Friday is when i do the grocery shopping. fuck me.

i got a portable bluetooth speaker yesterday at Menards. basically, i wanted to have some music playing when i'm showering. it worked perfect today.

we got our season tickets from the University of Dayton today. i'm really hoping mom can go to the basketball games this season. she changed our seats so she wouldn't have to walk so far down. it will be the first time i think i have had a different ticket for a game at UD Arena since i was a child. i'm interested to see how my superstitious ass deals with this.

if i get a wild hair up my ass this evening, i might do some poetry work and get another round of submissions ready to go out before the end of the month.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after getting the grocery shopping done.

that's all for me kids...

ever feel like you tore something in your foot?

i was walking into the garage today and i must have stepped wrong or landed wrong and i swear i could feel my right arch just simply rip into two. it's like it split right down the fucking middle. of course, both of my arches are abnormally high as the doctor put it years ago, so yeah. i'm going to be interested to see how long this hurts. i don't want to go to the doctor yet again, but, if i have to, i have to do it before the end of the year. joy.

mom and i went out shopping today. she wanted to go look for a new vehicle but after we left our late lunch, she said she was out of energy. she's sort of depressed that she can't do all that she used to do. i tell her to enjoy what she can do, it would be more productive for you. the asshole son, always the voice of reason. we found a bunch of things at Menards today. thankfully, they were having their 11% rebate on everything sale. after nearly 2 hours in there, we went to lunch at Max & Erma's. i've decided i'm going to try to get something i have never had before at these restaurants. something with a bit of spice or actual flavor as mom can't have anything like that anymore. so today was ham, mozzarella and pesto on ciabatta bread. it was excellent.

the New York Rangers won last night over Florida 5-2. it was their first win in regulation this season. they play tomorrow night in Chicago.

Smackdown was pretty good last night.

The Jim Jefferies Show was hilarious last night.

The Voice was really good last night.

Mayans M.C. was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lucha Underground, Mr. Mercedes, American Horror Story and Total Divas. i'll watch NXT UK, NXT, 205 Live and the Mae Young Classic tonight on WWE Network.

i did type up the 9 poems i wrote yesterday late last night/this morning. nothing like doing a little drinking and typing up poems around 3 in the morning. you'd think i was in my early 20's again. i really like a few of the poems. i probably should send out another batch before the month ends. time will tell.

i have no damn clue when i'll be on here tomorrow.

where to begin...

the last 20 hours or so have been fucking crazy. i suppose i should start with last night.

as a pro wrestling fan, i am somewhat conditioned to think everything is a work. and i've been watching long enough to spot little clues and shit like that. so, when Roman Reigns came out in street clothes last night, i knew something was up. i had seen reports earlier in the day that he was injured, so i was figuring it was that. when he started his promo off apologizing and saying his real name was Joe, i knew it was much more than just an injury. and when he mentioned that he had leukemia and now it was back, i was fucking stunned. of course, the cynical bastard inside of me goes well, Vince finally found a way to make him the top babyface in the company. when Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose came out and both were crying, i lost it. and to think that the night ended with Seth and Dean winning the tag titles and then Dean turning heel on Seth, this was one of those Monday Night Raw episodes that will go down in history.

The Voice was really good last night.

i did watch Stolen Daughters: Kidnapped by Boko Haram on HBO last night. that was one tough documentary to get through without feeling a hole repeatedly punched into your stomach. i urge EVERYONE to watch this.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Jim Jefferies Show, Mayans M.C. and The Voice.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Florida. i will probably watch some of that.

i know the World Series starts tonight. i couldn't give two shits.

so, i got mom to her eye surgery on time today. as they were taking us back, the nurse told us we were there really early. mom told her the appointment was at 2:30. the nurse said she has it at 3:30. well, fuck me. mom showed me the paperwork when we got home, it said 2:30 on it. so, we had to sit in the room for a good hour or so before they took mom in around 3. she said this one felt different and she's complaining a lot more than she did last week for the right eye. i told her maybe it was more scar tissue they had to remove or something. hopefully, it will feel better by tomorrow. i know she goes to the eye doctor next Tuesday to make sure everything looks good. fingers crossed. thankfully, i did bring my little notebook along. i wrote 9 poems today. i'll type them up sometime soon. that fills the little notebook up.

i did watch the beginning of Manchester United vs. Juventus when i was at the hospital. i told mom that i didn't think United would win today. i was right again. Juventus won 1-0. oh well.

mom wanted to go out to eat after her procedure. for some fucking reason, she wanted Bob Evans. nothing like eating lunch at 4. i had some turkey. mom basically had dinner. joy.

on the way home, a motorcyclist told me my right tail light was out. i believe that's the same fucking light mom had Toyota fix over the summer. joy.

i need to get the trash picked up here and next door. so, that's all for me kids.

i have no damn clue when i'll be on here tomorrow.

one of those unexpected moments...

Drew Brees threw his 500th and 501st touchdown passes yesterday. when the Saints were up and the Ravens were driving, i was really hoping the defense would find a way to make a stand. silly me, the Ravens went right down the field and scored a touchdown. thanks to an act of Mother Nature, the Ravens kicker, who had NEVER missed an extra point in his professional career, missed the kick. Saints won 24-23. that's a huge fucking win on the road and that gives Drew Brees a victory over every team in the NFL.

the New York Rangers lost to Calgary last night, 4-1. to be honest, i didn't watch much of the game at all. i figure there's going to be plenty of games like that this season.

America to Me was pretty good last night. the series finale is next week.

Shameless was great last night. i'm a little pissed the show won't be on again until January, but i'll get over it.

Kidding was fucking great last night.

The Deuce was excellent last night.

Camping was pretty funny last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Stolen Daughters: Kidnapped by Boko Haram. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i woke up this morning to 5 poems being rejected by North of Oxford. not exactly the way i hoped to start a Monday, but oh well.

i will be on here tomorrow after mom has her eye surgery on her left eye and after Manchester United plays Juventus in the Champions League.

physical therapy went very well today. i don't have to go back. my therapist showed me another exercise to add to my routine. i told him i've been doing the stretching and exercises four times a day here the last few days and the back has really responded. so, that will be the plan going forward. hopefully, i won't have to have any physical therapy for the rest of the year.

i mailed off my mother's and my absentee ballots today. so i guess i'm back in the system now.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i am tired of being right...

i wrote yesterday that i thought the Ohio State game was going to be a trap game and sure enough... Purdue beat Ohio State last night 49-20. i honestly didn't watch much after the 3rd quarter. i was just too fucking angry. now Ohio State has to think about that game through their bye week. oh joy.

i did watch some of the Lakers vs. Rockets last night.

Austin City Limits was pretty good last night.

ROH was good last night.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Calgary. hopefully, the Rangers will get a victory in regulation tonight.

i will be on here tomorrow sometime after my physical therapy.

i hope everyone had a good Saturday. hopefully, your Sunday will be even better.

looking for something better

my poem "looking for something better" has been published at Red Eft Review. you can find the poem by going here: http://redeftreview.blogspot.com/2018/10/looking-for-something-better-by-jj.html

if only the game ended 30 seconds sooner...

i almost got up on time this morning. i saw the clock at 7 AM. i decided to stay in bed as Manchester United hasn't won at Chelsea in years. i started watching the game in the second half. i was really, really happy when Anthony Martial scored his second goal of the game to put United up 2-1. of course, Chelsea scored in the 96th minute to end the game in a 2-2 draw. United was 30 seconds away from their first win at Chelsea in 6 years. now, do i take the positive that United got a point out of the game or do i dwell on the fact that United came oh so fucking close to a huge victory. fuck, i know me. i'll have a bad taste in my mouth for the rest of the day.

NJPW was pretty good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was the anniversary special last night. it was really good.

Pod Save America was excellent last night.

i did watch some NBA last night as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH and Austin City Limits.

Ohio State plays tonight at Purdue. i am pretty worried about this game. it has trap game written all over it.

mom wants to go out shopping today. after i get this done, i think we're going. she wants some Halloween decorations i guess. i'm not sure why she didn't look at Dollar Tree when we were there this past Monday. oh well.

i know there is a Game 7 tonight between the Dodgers and Brewers. i will probably watch some of that tonight.

i will probably be on here tomorrow sometime before the Saints play at the Ravens tomorrow.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

Escuchando a la musa respirar, la imaginación empieza a sonreír.

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...

response from Academy Of The Heart And Mind

i heard back from the fine folks at Academy Of The Heart And Mind on my poetry submission from earlier in the day. my poems "fades into oblivion", "while taking my blood sugar", "raging with excitement", "something that would make your mother blush" and "a little slice of happiness" have been accepted for publication. they should appear in the next few weeks.

it's not easy doing math on the fly in a damn zoo...

i don't know what makes the grocery store a fucking zoo at 2 in the afternoon on a Friday in October. is it the possibility of fucking snow in the air tomorrow night? is it the rush to get shit done before high school football? is it the need to buy lottery tickets? ok, i do understand that one. if the line wouldn't have been 15 fucking people deep at the time, i probably would have got some tickets as well. anyways, i was able to get everything on the list and keep it under $100. mom was fucking shocked.

a little poetry update. i did send out 23 poems this morning. 3 to Red Eft Review (already heard back, 1 accepted for publication) and 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Academy Of The Heart And Mind, Fourth & Sycamore and North of Oxford. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

i did watch plenty of LeBron's first game for the Lakers last night. now, as a Sacramento Kings fan, to watch the Lakers lose was delicious to see. but, i am also a LeBron fan and i am fascinated to see the circus this season with him on the Lakers. let's just say, he didn't disappoint last night.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty funny last night.

Young Sheldon was very funny last night.

Will & Grace was fucking hilarious last night. i swear the show is just as good as it was back in the day.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW, Real Time with Bill Maher and Pod Save America.

i'll probably watch some hockey at some point tonight as well.

i will be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays at Chelsea in the morning.

i'm not expecting to be in a good mood.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

Un día, la musa se dará cuenta de lo mucho que la amo.

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