goodbye to 2024...

 so, in some ways, 2024 was the year my writing finally hit the next level. the book i did with Casey Renee Kiser, Altered States of The Unflinching Souls, is something i am really proud of. you can still get a copy by going here:

i was nominated for a Best of the Net by Disturbing the Universe Magazine. and, for the first time in my life, i was nominated for the Pushcart Prize by The Rye Whiskey Review.

plus, John Patrick Robbins, the editor of The Rye Whiskey Review, and i are toying around with the thought of me doing a book in 2025 for his press. 

add in me finally doing a few new SoundCloud tracks, and i truly hope this is a sign of things to come...

Manchester United lost 2-0 yesterday at home to Newcastle. honestly, it never felt that close. United, for the first time in my life, are in a relegation battle. hopefully, the players figure that out soon and start giving a shit again.

the New York Rangers lost last night at Florida, 5-3.

Monday Night Raw was really good last night. the show, for the first time in 32 years, will start on Netflix next week.

the NFL game last night was crazy. Detroit won at the 49ers, 40-34.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT and Hard Knocks.

the Dayton Flyers play this afternoon at home against LaSalle.

team USA takes on Canada tonight at the World Juniors. winner wins the group.

the college football playoffs start back up tonight. Boise State takes on Penn State.

i need to go grocery shopping today and it is raining. joy.

Orkin came by last night and put two traps up in the attic. they could tell the squirrels are up there. they couldn't see anyplace where they are getting in and out of. hopefully, the traps will work. Orkin is supposed to be out later this week to check on them.

i should be on here tomorrow before the Ohio State vs. Oregon game in the Rose Bowl.

if you are going out to party tonight, please be safe.

i hope your 2024 was better than mine.

until 2025 my friends...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

Adiós al 2024
