definitely starting to feel winter like here. it was snowing this morning. nothing too bad, a little accumulation. of course, by the afternoon it was all gone. i guess here comes the two weeks of winter.
i got the house vacuumed today. that certainly took a good bit out of my bad back. joy.
Nate Bargatze's Nashville Christmas was pretty funny last night.
NJPW was good last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and AEW Rampage. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
the Dayton Flyers play tonight at Cincinnati. the game is on ESPNU.
the New York Rangers play tonight at Dallas. i doubt i will be watching much of it.
the college football playoff starts tonight. Indiana is at Notre Dame.
i have had a long day of people trying to scam me online. truly the holidays now.
i am going to be on here in the late morning / early afternoon tomorrow most likely.
i will certainly be on here before Ohio State plays at home against Tennessee tomorrow night in the college football playoffs.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
i hope all you last minute shoppers find some great deals.

so, the trip to mom's eye doctor is about 40 minutes one way. the freeways in Ohio are such if you aren't going whatever speeds the trucks are going, they will run you over. so, a good portion of the trip was done at 80 MPH. the trip home wasn't as fast as the state troopers wanted to fill their quota before next week. mom got her last stitch out of her eye. she now is down to 2 drops a day of one drop. that for the next month and then it will be 1 drop a day for the rest of her life. but, she needs to do some invisible tears to make sure her eye doesn't dry out and then she needs to do an ointment in her eye at night. this will be interesting as she tried that before and absolutely hated it. her doctor said she doesn't have a choice now. so yeah, going to be interesting.
i got home in time for the second half of the Manchester United game at Tottenham today. i turned it off when Tottenham went up 2-0. Tottenham ended up winning the game 4-3. so, United won't be winning the Leagues Cup this year. oh well.
the season finale of The Masked Singer was crazy last night, as usual.
Inside the NFL was good last night.
AEW Dynamite was good last night as well.
enjoy some music:

so, i was up at 7 this morning, mostly because i knew i had to get mom up at 9 since Orkin was supposed to be here at 10. i always like having my breakfast done so we're not in each other's way in the kitchen. i made sure the Highlander was outside so they could get up in the attic. it was raining this morning, so basically the Highlander got washed. so, when Orkin got here, i was busy on the computer making sure i had all the coupons loaded on the Kroger card for grocery shopping later on. when i got that done, Orkin was already gone. mom told me he said there are definitely squirrels in the attic. he didn't have a ladder with him because he thought we had pull down stairs. he told mom that someone else would be out here later today to get up in the attic, set some traps, etc. etc. now, i went and did the grocery shopping. i came back this afternoon and knew just by the look on mom's face that no one from Orkin had shown up. two things royally piss me off in this world. ignorance and incompetence. i have no fucking patience for either. i know damn well why they are dragging their feet on getting up in the attic. the contract we signed states that if there is any damage to the insulation or anything up there, they have to pay for all repairs. the squirrels that aren't supposed to be able to survive with the insulation that is up there, have been up there for over a month now. and given that they haven't ended up in the trap attached to the hole they made in the soffit, there has to be another fucking way there are getting in and out. and this is after they swore they fortified the roof as well. now you know why there are no guns in this house.
mom made a scroll for a grocery list today. i got everything. there was no fucking way to keep it under $200 this week. at least i got $3 back on the booze i bought.
the Dayton Flyers won last night at home against UNLV, 66-65.

i guess Orkin is coming here in the morning and they are actually going to finally, get in the attic and see if there has been any damages. if there hasn't, i would love for them to fix the fucking hole the squirrels or racoons did and take the fucking traps away. nothing says Christmas cheer like a fucking trap hanging from the fucking soffit.
i should be on here in the afternoon after i get the grocery shopping done.
i need to get started on dinner, so that's all for me today kids...

so, as i was finishing up the blog yesterday, some kind of miracle was taking place. i wanted to wait to write about it as i knew i couldn't do it justice at the end of yesterday's blog.
Manchester United was trailing Manchester City 1-0 until the 88th minute. Amad got tackled in the box and it was an obvious penalty. Bruno stepped up and scored to make it 1-1. less than 2 minutes later, Amad made a great run behind and Lisandro Martinez made a great pass. a little flick from Amad to go around the keeper and some more foolish defending from City and it was 2-1 United. they held on win the derby and the town is now red again. given that the day started with Rashford and Garnacho being told to stay home, this will go down as the day Ruben Amorim truly made his marker as the next great Manchester United coach. i'm really hoping this will galvanize the club and the march up the table will now begin.
the New York Rangers lost at St. Louis last night, 3-2.
i did watch Joker: Folie a Deux last night. i thought it was better than what most people thought, but clearly a fever dream in an acid trip with some music. parts of it i really liked and parts of it i was basically falling asleep. let's just say, i didn't keep it on the DVR.
The Agency was excellent last night.
Dexter: Original Sin was good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw and the series finale of What We Do in the Shadows.
there are two NFL games tonight. i doubt i watch much of either.
i did make a trip to the bank today to make a deposit.
it has been raining all day it seems. i did get a nice long nap in this morning with some ice on my back.
the New Orleans Saints lost at home to Washington yesterday, 20-19. at least the Saints made it interesting late.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
i'm still waiting on 2 gifts for my mother to show up. at least i know both are in the United States, so that's a good sign.
and i think the stuff i sent in the mail actually got to where it was supposed to go today.
i did get 3 Christmas cards in the mail today. that was unexpected.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
until then kids...

it has been raining since last night. i'm guessing the pain finally got to me and i didn't as much sleep as i simply passed out from it. good times.
the Dayton Flyers won last night at home against #6 Marquette, 71-63. considering they were down 13 more than once in the game, i was really happy Dayton found a way to win.
i did watch some of the Army vs. Navy game yesterday.
the New York Rangers lost yesterday at home to the LA Kings, 5-1. they play today at St. Louis.
Saturday Night's Main Event was great last night.

a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
my poems "a tempting red sky", "in dying arms", "needle still dangling", "natural to me" and "lost empires" have been published at Synchronized Chaos. you can read the poems by going here:
13 happens to be my lucky number. and being a superstitious fuck, Friday the 13th has always been a day that i cherish. today was one of those days i suppose. a couple of poems published. more poems accepted for publication. and, i wrote 5 poems this morning while my mother was getting her hair done. add in a trip to the post office to mail back an autographed book to CRK and i have been quite the productive fucker.
thank you to everyone for checking out the published poems today:
i slept through most of the NFL game last night. the Rams won over the 49ers, 12-6.

so, i guess Anthem is fucking with me on my health insurance. they sent me a bill today for $613 for my insurance for the first month of 2025. the guy that helps me do this can't find anything as the marketplace believes i should have an income around $20,000 right now. well, i don't. so, he has to send my shit to Medicaid, which will get rejected because my mother makes too much on her social security. and once i get that rejection notice, then he should be able to get me insurance on the marketplace at a really good rate. and people wonder why people get so fucking frustrated with this shit that they do insane things. so, shit is really going to get tight around here in January. and i have absolutely no faith that i will get good insurance for next to nothing given what the government is going to look like soon.
so yeah, if there was anything to piss on my parade today, that was it.
i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow before the New York Rangers play in the afternoon.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i heard back from Scott at The Dope Fiend Daily on my recent poetry submission. my poems "it is never easy", "the reality that awaits them", "that kind of smile", "saying hello" and "the broken picket fence" have been accepted for publication.
i was hoping for the best today as Manchester United was playing on the road in the Europa League. they haven't won on the road in Europe since March of 2023. the first half was boring as fuck. then, United's keeper made a horrible pass and that of course ended up in the back of the net. thankfully, United made some subs and that made the difference. Rasmus Hojlund scored 2 goals after he got into the game. United tried to piss it away, but thankfully, United won 2-1. that gets them closer to making it to the knockout stages of the Europa League.
AEW Dynamite last night was very good.
The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.

i think most people around here think i'm nuts when i take the trash out in the winter in shorts. honestly, the cold doesn't bother me. hell, it is the only thing that works on the pain for me, so why would i hate it outside of a cold pack? now, i did throw an extra layer on today as it was much colder given the wind and snow. thankfully, there wasn't much snow while i was out doing the grocery shopping. i did get a good bit of food so we would have plenty of meals to choose from this week. given the current finances, eating out will be even more rare than usual now. that said, the grocery shopping went well today, other than the cashier at Kroger thinking she needed to scan everything as fast as possible. like i can bag 30 different items with a snap of my fingers... good times.
so, i did watch the finale of The Voice last night. i did have the winner and he was on my team the entire season.

it seems my life basically runs in two different shifts. morning and late at night. whatever the fuck happens between those times, i'm not really sure of anymore. it seems like auto-pilot is running that show. i read something a few months ago how nocturnal people should lean into that life. so, taking a shower at 4 in the morning after getting the Christmas cards, dishes and email all done seems natural.
the New York Rangers lost last night to a shitty Chicago Blackhawks team, 2-1.

i wasn't surprised last night when i got the news of Juan Soto going to the Mets. i knew he would always go to the highest bidder and that was always going to be the Mets. now, i'm basically wondering what the Yankees will do. they have plenty of holes they need to fill and will hopefully start soon.
