the final day of 2023...

 well, the final day of 2023 is finally upon us. i am so ready for this year to be over. don't get me wrong, i think i did make some great strides with my writing in 2023, but i am at the point of my life now where i get no comfort out of looking back. 

Manchester United lost yesterday at Nottingham Forest, 2-1. i really hope 2024 will be better for this team. hopefully, with new people running the team, it will be.

the Dayton Flyers won yesterday at home over Longwood, 78-69. now it is time for A-10 play.

the New York Rangers won last night at Tampa Bay, 5-1.

the NFL game last night was crazy. Dallas won over Detroit, 20-19, thanks to the officials.

the USA defeated Slovakia this morning at the World Juniors, 10-2, to win Group B.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Curse and Power Book III: Raising Kanan.

the New Orleans Saints play today at Tampa Bay.

i'm sure i will watch plenty of football today.

i have no plans for tonight, as usual. i have no clue what i'll be watching when the clock strikes midnight.

if you are going out tonight, be safe. have fun. 

i do hope that all of you had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

and i hope all of us have a great 2024.

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

welcome to the weekend...

 amazingly, there was some sunshine this morning. of course, i was up at 7:30 for some fucking reason. i miss the days where i could sleep until noon.

thankfully, i didn't watch much of the Ohio State game last night. they lost to Missouri, 14-3. they have to find a QB in the transfer portal or Ryan Day will be looking for another job if this shit happens again next season.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both best of 2023 editions last night.

AEW Rampage was good last night.

the New York Rangers lost last night at Florida, 4-3. they play tonight at Tampa Bay.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight.

Manchester United plays at Nottingham Forest today.

the Dayton Flyers play this afternoon at home against Longwood. this closes out their non-conference schedule.

there is a NFL game tonight between Dallas and Detroit.

i'm sure i will watch some of the bowl games today and some college basketball as well.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after the USA plays Slovakia at the World Juniors.

i guess 2023 is going out with no sunshine...

 today is the third fucking day in a row without any sunshine. i mean, i know i am someone that can turn a dreary day into some poems and shit, but the last thing i fucking want is the dreariness to never end. fuck me.

i did watch plenty of the Browns vs. Jets last night. i actually made some money on the game for a change.

here are your NBA highlights from last night.

the USA defeated Czechia today at the World Juniors, 4-3, in a shootout. they play Slovakia Sunday morning.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and AEW Rampage. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Florida.

Ohio State plays Missouri tonight in the Cotton Bowl. i'm not sure what to expect from this game, given all the changes that have happened already.

i will probably be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays at Nottingham Forest.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i'm guessing the company that did our kitchen remodel should be here soon, so that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

another dreary day...

 well, mom wasn't feeling well today, so she didn't go to physical therapy. i don't think the sun has been out at all today. at least it hasn't been raining. there is enough misery.

the New York Rangers won last night at home over Washington, 5-1.

AEW Dynamite last night was good.

the USA defeated Switzerland today in the World Juniors, 11-4. they play Czechia tomorrow.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight. i'll probably watch the Jets vs. Browns tonight.

i need to shave and shower at some point tonight.

i think the company that did our kitchen remodel is coming tomorrow afternoon to do a final walk through. they wanted to come at 8 in the morning and mom laughed and told them no. if she's out of bed before noon it is a minor miracle anymore.

so, i will probably be on here after that happens tomorrow.

hard to believe that 2023 is almost over. fuck, this year feels like it has gone on forever.

hope everyone has a good night.

disjointed sleep, but i got a poem out of it...

 this is what my life has become. trying to sleep but only getting 25 to 35 minutes of it, and then waking up and wondering why? i said fuck it last night and actually wrote a poem instead of just trying to get some useless sleep. now, the poem was great, but it didn't help me sleep any. oh well.

grocery shopping went pretty good today. i got an earlier start than normal. i was all done by 1:45. hell, there are some Wednesdays i am only getting started by that time. between yesterday and today, i think i got everything we needed and kept it under $200. 

so, when i was last on here Manchester United was losing at halftime at home to Aston Villa, 2-0. well, i don't know what ETH said at halftime, but they came out as a different fucking team and it showed. Garnacho scored 2 goals to tie the game and then Rasmus Hojlund scored his first Premier League goal and United won, 3-2. the kids are starting to play all the time now and i love when that happens. 

NXT last night was pretty good.

Inside the NFL was very good last night.

Hard Knocks was great 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.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Washington.

i believe mom has physical therapy tomorrow afternoon. if so, i will be on here after we get back home.

i will hopefully have some poems to type up.

i need to get the trash picked up and get started on dinner.

that's all for me kids...

until tomorrow...

 so, Christmas went pretty well here. i think mom really liked what i got her. i love what she got me; some books, some clothes, a Christmas ornament of The Dude and money. dinner was really good. i think mom was pretty pleased with how it came out. it was her first time cooking in the new kitchen. 

i did watch plenty of the NFL games yesterday.

here are your NBA highlights from yesterday:

Manchester United is currently losing at home to Aston Villa, 2-0. i'm not surprised.

i went to the bank earlier today to deposit my check. after that, i went to Meijer to get a few things we ran out of yesterday. plus, i wanted to use the coupons that came with our new dishwasher. those were going to expire at the end of the year.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the rest of the grocery shopping done.

i hope everyone had a great Christmas.

i did watch plenty of football yesterday.

The Curse was very good last night.

today will be a mix of the NBA and NFL.

i kind of wish it was snowing but later today we will get more rain. the house of arthritis will be in massage chairs most likely.

i will be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the afternoon.

 the rain finally stopped, but in came the fog. that Stephen King kind of fog. sadly, i wasn't in the mood for writing last night. the rain did me in.

the New York Rangers won last night in OT at home against Buffalo, 4-3.

i did watch both NFL games yesterday, plus some college football.

i did get mom's gifts wrapped yesterday. i also got the string of LED lights put up around the desk in the kitchen. we're trying out the new Air Fryer tomorrow morning for breakfast. fingers are crossed.

it is supposed to be warm today, so i'm guessing the last minute shoppers will love that.

i will probably be on here early tomorrow, before the NBA and NFL games start.

that is all for me kids. i hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas Eve.

 i think it rained most of the night. it has rained most of the morning as well. and i am miserable, and that was even before Manchester United lost this morning.

Manchester United lost at West Ham 2-0 this morning. that is 4 straight games United haven't scored a goal. fuck me.

the contractor was here on time, as usual. he had the new vent hood in and running in probably a hour. he cleaned up, took the old one with him and for the most part, the kitchen renovation is done. thank god.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Edmonton, 4-3. they play tonight at home against Buffalo.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. and i hope the weather is better wherever you are.

 well, it is going to be too warm for a white christmas this year. i guess it is going to fucking rain, most likely for days. joy. i made sure the bird feeders were full, given what is coming. i screwed my back up moving some shit back into the kitchen. that was fun. but, i did get my Charlie Brown christmas tree up. that's all i can muster this year. i'm just hoping when the contractor gets here in the morning that he gets the vent hood in and is gone before noon.

i did take mom out last night to see some lights. we just went around town. it was pretty nice, although mom talked about how it was much better in the years past. as is everything, hence nostalgia.

the finale of Big Brother: Reindeer Games was excellent last night. i didn't think Nicole would win.

NJPW was good last night.

response from Synchronized Chaos...

 i heard back from Cristina at Synchronized Chaos on my recent poetry submission. my poems "the chinese alphabet", "while alone in the shower", "plastic bombs in the sand", "make believe brilliance blah blah blah" and "way too early in life" have been accepted for publication.

well, at least i don't have high blood pressure...

 that was about where the good news stopped today at my doctor's appointment. my A1C went back up to 7.1... i kind of expected it with all the stress of the kitchen renovation and all the fast food i have had in the past few weeks... what i am hoping is i can get it back down by the time i go back in March.

the Dayton Flyers won last night at home against Oakland, 91-67. here is what the Oakland coach said after the game.

the season finale of The Masked Singer was crazy as usual.

the New Orleans Saints plays tonight at the Rams.

in a kitchen renovation update, the vent hood will be going in on Saturday morning. so, i guess i will be up early. thankfully, Manchester United plays at 7:30 in the morning on Saturday, so i should be up before the contractor gets here.

if mom feels up to it, i might take her out tonight to look at some lights. that might actually get her in a better mood. this whole process of the renovation has her depressed big time. 

i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow.

i know i need to get some gifts wrapped soon.

i really think Alex Verdugo is going to play well this season for the Yankees. it sounds like he has a chip on his shoulder.

poetry update

 i just sent out 5 poems to Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from Cristina on them, i will pass along the verdict.

never forget, humans are a disease...

 maybe it is the holidays that bring out the worst in us, or maybe i am so fucking cynical or depressed or disillusioned with life that i simply don't have the patience for bullshit anymore. the grocery store today was a fucking circus. but, i did make it out alive and managed not to spend $300 on everything. holy fuck, you'd think i hadn't bought any food in the last couple of weeks. and now, toss in my mother trying to put the shelves back in the pantry as she is finally putting contact paper on the shelves after being here almost a decade. she didn't like my comment of why the fuck did we need to do this after living here this long, you'd think you'd want to complete this years ago. and of course, her response was do you want me to leave? and she knows that i know how fucking passive/aggressive she gets when she gets angry so i simply responded; you're going to twist this however your passive/aggressive ass has to to make it your way, so do what you want. this is going to be a fun night.

the finale of The Voice was excellent last night. i picked the winner correctly this season.

NXT was good last night.

Inside the NFL was pretty funny last night.

the New York Rangers won last night in Toronto, 5-2.

Hard Knocks was really good last night.

Big Brother: Reindeer Games last night was good. the finale will be Thursday.
