we lost a good one today...

 so i woke up this morning to the news of Shane MacGowan's death. i knew he wasn't in great health, but that caught me off guard. those Pogues songs always bring me back to my youth and just discovering music. i believe the first song i heard from The Pogues was A Pair Of Brown Eyes. they were playing it outside of an old record store in downtown Dayton. i went in and asked what that was and they said The Pogues. i think i was like 15 at the time. i think it was the young poet in me that was really attracted to The Pogues. Shane's death has brought back all those memories. i am happy that he is no longer suffering. i am happy that i have these songs to listen to. but damn, the world has lost one of the good ones. 

the Dayton Flyers won last night at SMU, 65-63. that was their first non-conference road win in 7 years.

https://daytonflyers.com/news/2023/11/29/mens-basketball-earns-hard-fought-65-63-win-at.aspx

the New York Rangers won last night at home against Detroit, 3-2.

The Masked Singer was crazy last night.

AEW Dynamite was pretty good last night.

i did watch that Christmas at Graceland special last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW.

i will probably watch some of the NFL game tonight between Seattle and Dallas.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after the contractor leaves. 

once mom writes my check, i will be going to the bank. 

that is all for me kids...

until tomorrow...

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

stay off the fucking streets.

so happy i didn't watch Manchester United today...

 i knew i wasn't going to be able to see the game today because i would be out grocery shopping. i'm even happier i didn't bet on them to win today, just who was going to score. and i got that right. i saw that United got up 2-0 and i was very happy. then it was 2-1. no big deal. then United scored to make 3-1. next thing i know, i was done finding everything on the list and looked at my phone and the score was now 3-3. in a game that they had to WIN and they gave up 3 fucking goals when they rarely ever can score 3 fucking goals. fuck me. so now, they don't control their own destiny in the Champions League. last place in the group with one match to go. 

grocery shopping went pretty well today. nothing was really crowded and i got everything on the list.

NXT was really good last night.

Inside the NFL was good last night.

Name That Tune was pretty funny last night.

The Voice was very good last night. i can't wait for the live shows.

Hard Knocks was kind of sad last night.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and The Masked Singer.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Detroit.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at SMU. that game will be on ESPN+.

i guess the kitchen renovation will start next week. they will be out here on Friday to go over the final plans. if everything goes as scheduled, it should be done a week before Christmas. i'm hoping it gets done earlier than that. so, i know that the next few days will be moving shit and figuring out where we are putting the microwave, the coffee makers, etc. should be quite the clusterfuck.

a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:

frustration once again...

 so, mom called me from the kitchen around noon today and said we had no water. i looked online to see if there was a water main break or something. there was one in a town a few miles from us but that shouldn't be affecting us. i then asked her if she paid the bill. she was quiet. she couldn't find her password to get online to see her statement. so, i made her a new password for it and sure enough, the bill hadn't been paid. so, i immediately paid it and she called the water department. apparently, the bill was due November 8th. that was twenty fucking days ago. so, i told her this afternoon that i am taking over everything so this shit doesn't happen again. i have tried to do this before but she hasn't relented her control on shit. but, when she realized she hadn't paid the bill her response was well, another reason to leave the earth. so, yeah. i am trying to juggle her anxiety, depression, anger and her oncoming blindness all at the same time. i am hoping she will see that allowing me to control the finances will take a huge burden off of her and she can live without trying to remember shit while not being able to see clearly what she is trying to pay online. what happens most of the time is she doesn't realize that she has signed up for paperless billing and then doesn't think twice when a bill never comes in the mail. have i mentioned how i hate this time of year?

i did get my Christmas shopping done last night. i hope mom likes what i got her. if any of you want to be on my Christmas card list, be sure to send me your mailing address by or around December 1st.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Buffalo, 5-1. 

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

The Voice was very good last night. tonight is the last night of the playoffs. the live shows start next week.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Inside the NFL, Name That Tune, The Voice and Hard Knocks.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done. that will also be after Manchester United plays a MUST WIN game in the Champions League tomorrow in Turkey.

 i'm not sure if it actually made it above 32 degrees today. i only went out once to get the mail. we never got the phone call over the weekend like we were expecting, so the kitchen remodel didn't start today. now, mom's anxiety is through the roof since we have no clue when it will start. good times. once we get the call, we have to clean out the kitchen. and our house isn't exactly big enough to just move the stuff in the kitchen to another room. so, it is going to be a tricky thing to do. good times.

the New Orleans Saints lost yesterday at Atlanta, 24-15. they got over 400 yards of fucking offense and could only get 5 fucking field goals. fuck me.

i did watch a few NFL games yesterday:

the conference finals in the MLS is set.

at least the anger didn't last forever...

 well, let me begin with my disgust for Ohio State losing once again to that team up north. and mostly, i am pissed that Ryan Day coached scared. and a fucking fill in outcoached him by a fucking mile. Ohio State played like they didn't want to lose the game instead of going out there and imposing their will and win the fucking game. 3 years in a row now. how can you destroy every other team in the Big Ten but come up short against the only rival you have and in the biggest game of every fucking season? Ohio State lost 30-24.

i did watch a few college football games yesterday:

the New York Rangers won at home yesterday over Boston, 7-4.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

AEW Rampage and AEW Collision were pretty good last night.

WWE Survivor Series was great last night. both War Games matches were excellent and the surprise at the end of the show was something i never thought in a million fucking years i would ever see again.

Austin City Limits was very good last night.

i did catch some of the highlights last night in the MLS playoffs. the Eastern Conference finals are going to be amazing.

enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be Shining Vale, Fellow Travelers and The Curse.

Manchester United won at Everton today, 3-0.

the New Orleans Saints are currently losing at Atlanta, 14-9.

welcome to the weekend...

 it is nice and cold here this morning. got into the 20's overnight. of course, for the time of year it is, it is supposed to be getting colder.

the New York Rangers won yesterday in Philadelphia, 3-1. they play today at home against Boston.

the Dayton Flyers won last night at home against Youngstown St., 77-69.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.

i did watch plenty of college football yesterday.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Austin City Limits, AEW Rampage and AEW Collision. i will be watching WWE Survivor Series for most of the evening.

here are your highlights from the NBA last night:

so, today is the big game between Ohio State and that up north. Ohio State must win because they have lost the last two games in this rivalry and i don't think Ryan Day survives a third straight one. the school up north has to win if they don't want anyone with a brain to know that the last 2 victories were due to the cheating scandal. as usual, i will be rooting for Ohio State. if they win, i will be beyond happy for the rest of the day. if they lose, i will basically shut down and be pissed. at least until wrestling tonight.

i will try to be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays at Everton.

the New Orleans Saints play tomorrow at Atlanta.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. i did start my Christmas shopping yesterday. i found something for mom on Etsy that i think she will like.

until tomorrow kids...

fuck hatred.

the day after...

 i hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. mom wanted to cook, so i let her. that made her happy. the food was good, that made her happy as well. she couldn't understand why she was tired later on though. i guess she thinks she should be able to do at 70 what she was able to do at 40. one day she'll figure out that isn't how life works. i cleaned out a good portion of the garage yesterday. i figured i better do it before it got any colder. i'm hoping they will have enough room for what they need to do for the kitchen in there now. 

i did watch all 3 NFL games yesterday. i'm still kind of shocked that the Lions lost and looked so bad against Green Bay. the other two games were blowouts.

i did watch some college basketball yesterday as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown. i'll watch NXT Level Up at some point tonight on Peacock.

the New York Rangers play today at Philadelphia.

i'm sure mom will want to watch the Dolphins at the Jets today.

the Dayton Flyers play at home tonight against Youngstown St.

i'm sure at some point today i'll put up our outside Christmas decorations. 3 wreaths and a flag. that is about as far as i will go.

i should be on here in the morning tomorrow before Ohio State plays that team from up north.

i have never been a big shopper on Black Friday. never plan to be either. if you happen to be, i hope you find what you want and get some good deals.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

poetry update

 i just sent out 5 poems to The Asylum Floor. when i hear back from Brenton on them, i will pass along the verdict.

a date that will always be remembered...

 i remember growing up and i think it was Don Henley that said when Kennedy got assassinated, that was the day the innocence of America died. and i suppose in the grand scheme of things, he probably is right. hard to think that was 60 years ago. and hard to believe the government hasn't released all the shit they still have confidential. and they wonder why people have conspiracy theories. 

i didn't get to bed until 5:30 AM this morning. i swear, there aren't enough hours in the day for me to get done everything i need to do on certain days. by the time i got the poems typed up last night and got the dishes done, i barely had enough energy left to masturbate myself to sleep. thankfully, my shower this afternoon woke me the fuck up.

and i give Kroger credit. they had every checkout lane open and every lane had a bagger. even though it was crowded as fuck, it didn't take nearly as long as i was expecting.

NXT was very good last night.

Inside the NFL was good last night.

Name That Tune was a rerun last night.

The Voice was very good last night.

Hard Knocks last night was excellent.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite.

the New York Rangers play at Pittsburgh tonight. hopefully, they will find a way to win.

i'm sure i will watch some college basketball tonight as well.

if you are traveling, please be safe and patient. most of all, i hope everyone gets to enjoy their Thanksgiving tomorrow.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning, before all the football games get going.

i need to go make dinner.

response from Synchronized Chaos...

 i heard back from Cristina on my recent poetry submission. my poems "over half your life", "look around", "like a pair of comfortable shoes", "hungry for love" and "squeeze a few poems out" have been accepted for publication in the December issue.

a rainy day...

 it has been on and off raining all damn day. joy.

well, let me start off where the blog stopped yesterday. 

the New York Rangers pissed away a 3-0 lead last night and lost at Dallas, 6-3. oh well, they were due a stinker soon anyway. 

the USMNT lost last night to Trinidad & Tobago, 2-1. they were up 1-0 and cruising and then Sergino Dest lost his fucking mind. 2 yellow cards in about 20 seconds and the USA was short a man for the rest of the game. at least they entered the game up 3-0 so they still advance. but honestly, i kind of hope Dest never gets to play on the national team again.

Monday Night Raw was very good last night.

The Voice last night was a recap of what has happened so far this season. the playoffs start tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Inside the NFL, Name That Tune, The Voice and Hard Knocks.

i went to Meijer today to get some things mom wanted and get a little of the grocery shopping done. that went faster than i was expecting. i then had to go to Rite Aid to pick up a prescription. at least that will be one place i don't have to go to tomorrow.

i wrote 4 poems while mom was doing her physical therapy today. i will type those up sometime tonight as i had a place from Australia ask me to send them some poems. i'd love to get that done before Thanksgiving.
