digging holes in the rain

i don't really like the fact that at 41 i can tell hours before it's going to rain by just how my back and left leg are feeling. nothing quite says you're getting old like arthritis stopping you in your tracks while simply trying to walk to the kitchen. good times.

the New York Yankees lost again yesterday 2-1 to Houston. they are down 2-0 now, which sucks given they could have easily won both games. Houston is a really good team, and they play the game the way you are supposed to. good defense, make contact, don't strikeout, take the extra base, etc. the Yankees are trying to hit the ball out of the park every time they come up to the plate. that's why they have 7 straight games with more than 10 strikeouts. it's so fucking frustrating to watch. and sadly, i did watch yesterday. Game 3 is Monday night back in the Bronx. the Yankees better hope they figure out a way to win that game.

the New York Rangers scored first last night. and for some fucking reason, that brought out the best in New Jersey. the Devils won 3-2 last night. as i wrote in the Rangers group i am in on Google+, they are either playing to get AV fired or they fucking suck at the moment. the sad answer is probably both. they next play on Tuesday at home against Pittsburgh. joy.

thankfully, Ohio State whipped Nebraska last night, 56-14. and honestly, it never felt that close. J.T. Barrett had 5 touchdowns passing and 2 more rushing last night. they are off next week, hopefully getting ready to find a way to beat Penn State in Columbus in two weeks.

Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night.

ROH was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Last Week Tonight, Ray Donovan, The Deuce, Vice Principals, Curb Your Enthusiasm and White Famous.

the New Orleans Saints play at home this afternoon against Detroit. this should be an interesting test for the Saints defense today. hopefully they play well enough to get a victory.

i'll probably do a little poetry work as well today. i have a couple places in mind that i need to send poems to.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday will be even better.

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:

off to go freeze to death

i decided to write this early today as i have a ton of shit to do today. first off, i really need to clean off the sidewalks, etc as we have to go grocery shopping today as there is a big fucking ice storm coming. second, i have to get on dead cat patrol here soon as i go out to feed them. it got down to about -20 with the windchill last night. the smell of death is at the point in the house where i'd actually rather be outside at the moment. also, i think mom wants to go shopping for shit we'll need at the new house as she is hell bent on getting there as soon as possible. needless to say, i'm preparing to be in pain by the time i get back home in the afternoon.

i really just bounced around the channels last night; a little college hockey, a little pro wrestling, a little basketball, and then i watched Treehouse Masters. i so wish i had some fuck you money where i could build a fucking treehouse like the one last night. a window wall that turns into an awning. copper roof. floating bed. 150 foot bridge to it. i guess i should start lining the poetry books with cocaine. that might do it.

after the running around today, i'm planning on enjoying some time in my chair. there are 2 NFL playoff games that i plan on watching today. also, the Dayton Flyers play at Fordham tonight. they are favored to win that game as well. if they do, i believe that would be 6 straight wins. also tonight, the New York Rangers play at San Jose. i would love for them to finish off the California portion of their road trip with a sweep of the teams. that would be awesome. hopefully i will be enjoying a couple of victory beers when i'm watching a new episode of ROH late tonight.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow as Manchester United plays late in the morning. so it might be one of those as soon as i wake up blogs. good times. but i do know i have a busy ass Sunday ahead as well, between sports, shows, Golden Globes, trash day, approaching storm, etc. etc. i suppose the assholes are correct; there is no rest for the wicked.

that's all for me today. i hope everyone has a great start to their weekend. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

frustration unleashes the demons... again

this morning has been something close to a clusterfuck for me. we had the chili i made for dinner last night, so you can imagine where i have spent most of the morning. and then between bending over to clean out a litter box and lifting over 100 lbs. of trash and recyclables, i think most of this afternoon will be with ice on my back. just fucking lovely.

Ohio State beat Minnesota yesterday 31-24. it wouldn't have been that close if Ohio State wouldn't of had 3 turnovers. that should be their last tough game until the Big 10 Championship game.

the New York Rangers lost in a shootout last night 3-2. i didn't have a problem with the NHL getting the call right on Dan Boyle's shootout goal that wasn't. i did have a problem with how long it took them to figure it out. i did have a problem with Cindy Crosby whining and complaining to the refs ALL game long. if he ever wonders why no players in the league respect him, all he has to do is watch last night's game again. and how in the fuck does Malkin get to charge Girardi and he basically gets nothing for it. oh, that's right, everyone who works for the league is a bunch of ex-Rangers that hated their time in New York. i have to remind myself that from time to time when every fucking call goes against the Rangers. at least they got a point out of the game.

Saturday Night Live was really good last night.

ROH was great last night. the match between ACH and Jay Lethal was awesome.

today, the New Orleans Saints play the Bengals. hopefully, i'm drinking a victory beer around 4:30 this afternoon. the Saints are my guaranteed win of the week, so i really hope they win.

tonight will be the usual Sunday night shows; The Newsroom, Homeland, and The Affair. all 3 episodes look to be good.

i'll watch those and probably some of the Sunday night NFL game as well.

i still have to enter my fantasy teams into my DIRECTV receiver, so i'm a bit pissy this morning. i've only been trying for the last 3 hours.

both of my fantasy teams are favored to win this week. i doubt that happens.

and to top off everything today, we are under a Winter Weather Advisory. it's supposed to start really snowing tonight and won't stop until tomorrow afternoon. they are saying maybe 4 inches or more. and of course, mom and i have to be over at the new home for the house inspection tomorrow morning.

these are the days where i wish i had a needle and a gun.

hopefully your Saturday and Sunday are going much better than mine. and if they are not, drink a cold one and go piss on your neighbor's porch.

thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your time.

testing every ounce of my patience...

here's a little slice of the last 18 hours of my life... i was up late last night doing some poetry work. i came up with 31 poems to send out. now, only 20 are going to get sent out here soon. decided to do a little future planning with some poems that will get sent out in 2015. basically, i wanted to thin out the unpublished file a little more. i will hopefully send the 20 poems out next week sometime. the reason i say hopefully will be revealed here in a bit. i got into bed around 3 in the morning. right as i was falling asleep, the muse calls around 4 am. she's crying and upset. i've lived long enough to know it is best to just shut up and listen. she gets it all out (more guy troubles) and she eventually has me pray for her. that was interesting to say the least. and just as i think i'm going to fall back asleep, the muse calls back two more times. so, now i'm up as i don't want the phone to wake up my mother. sure enough, the muse doesn't call back again. figures. so, i get maybe 2 hours of sleep total and get on the computer. and sure enough, it has a virus. just my fucking luck. so, from roughly 8:30 am to 2:30 pm, Frontier Communications took their sweet ass time getting rid of the virus. if i could ever help anyone bankrupt that company and watch every incompetent fucker they employ die a slow death, i'll be the first asshole in line.

the cats weren't exactly happy that i was feeding them nearly 3 hours later than usual. i was pretty sure one of them would try to take a shit on me, but i was wrong. i did give them a little extra, just in case one of those fuckers were thinking about revenge.

needless to say i've spent the last 3 hours trying to catch up on everything. i finally achieved that in time to try to write this before the hockey game comes on tonight. good times.

American Horror Story: Freak Show was excellent last night. i really enjoyed this episode much more than the first one this season. i'm really looking forward to the episode next week.

the New York Rangers play Carolina tonight. this is about as close to a MUST win game as you can have in October. hopefully the defense plays much better tonight. and i would like to have a victory beer tonight as well.

i will be paying a bit of attention to the football game tonight as i have a running back for New England. hopefully that will start my fantasy football week off on the right foot.

i'll be in Columbus tomorrow night for another hockey game. it will be the last one for us for a little while. i believe my sister is trying to figure out where we'll be having dinner after the game. that should be interesting for me as i won't be drinking. i have night driving duties for my mother.

so, i'm planning on being on here earlier tomorrow. maybe late morning or so. of course, that all depends on what madness happens to me tonight. i'm hoping for a quiet one.

that's all for me. i need to get going. i've got to get my rosters checked and it seems like my email fills up constantly now. how i wish it was people wanting to give me money.

thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
