sucking the marrow out of life

i decided to do a little writing last night. i really didn't have anything that i just had to get down on the page. from time to time, i like to challenge myself and see what i can come up with out of nowhere. often, it's just shit. every blue moon, i get a good one. i think i may have a couple of gems out of the 5 poems i typed up this morning. i suppose only time will tell.

the New York Rangers whipped Dallas last night 6-2. it was the best i had seen the Rangers play in quite some time.

for those of you interested, Finland defeated Russia in OT yesterday to win the Gold medal at the World Juniors. i believe the Rangers prospect on Finland had the main assist on the winning goal.

i did watch TNA last night on Pop TV. it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be, but it certainly wasn't as good as it could have been either. i don't mind EC3 as the World Champion, but honestly, who the fuck told Mike Bennett that the wrestling Jesus should dress like this:

needless to say, i won't be wasting my time much on TNA, kind of like the last 8 years or so.

i did listen to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. i highly recommend it.

you can never go wrong with Adam Cole BAYBAY.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

the Dayton Flyers take on UMass tonight at home. the game is on national television (CBS Sports Network). hopefully tonight isn't another last second thriller. but, given how they usually play when they are ranked, i'm not counting on an easy one.

i will watch NXT tonight when i get back home. i imagine it will be after another trip to Waffle House. NXT i think is another best of 2015 episode.

i suppose i should check and see if anything else is on tonight. the 2016 schedule hasn't sunk in just yet.

not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. if i don't wake up in my usual cold winter pain, i might actually get one of the YouTube videos done and possibly work on some poems to send out for submissions before my birthday.

it was in the teens this morning. just as winter is starting to creep in it's supposed to warm back up into the 40's the next couple of days.

i hope this finds everyone in good spirits and deciding what you're sending me for my birthday.

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...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

at least the rain finally stopped

i believe when i woke up this morning it had just finished raining. i have to believe we got somewhere north of 2 inches. thank god we got the soybeans off before that. no flooding that i have seen so far and the corn still looks good, so... in the grand scheme of things this really just means i'll end up having to mow the grass again.

ended up watching more of the Yankees game last night than i thought i would. CC actually pitched great for the first time in a few months. a 5-1 win on A-Rod's 24th career grand slam. that broke the major league record previously held by Lou Gehrig. i would say congrats but he doesn't deserve it. they play again this afternoon. i might check it out or i might just watch college football and hope they do well. they are still alive with a faint pulse for the playoffs.

Ohio State plays a game this afternoon that i believe most of the game will see the backups playing. so, i might watch some of it as i believe i will be in a sports bar showing it, but i won't be paying close attention to it.

got some good news yesterday regarding injuries on my fantasy football team. that just made my Sunday a little less chaotic. while getting that news last night i realized that the fucking hockey season starts in about a week. so i scrambled to find a fantasy hockey league and set up my draft order. the draft is 2 days before the season i think. that should make it interesting.

i'm looking forward to watching some ROH this evening. i know what happened last night at the ppv. i'm a little surprised at the results but at the same time i am happy. i enjoy the heel Adam Cole more and more each time i get to see it. to see him as the ROH champion should make for some interesting story lines in the future. especially if the "Mount Rushmore of Wrestling" ends up joining forces in ROH as well.

and i will hopefully find some time to sleep today as i know damn well i won't be getting any tomorrow.

hope this finds everyone well. peace and chicken grease.
