at least it doesn't feel like an oven outside...

 i definitely felt a difference when i went outside this morning. the heat is so much more enjoyable when the humidity isn't fucking stifling. hell, when we get back home from mom's physical therapy, i might turn off the air conditioning and open up the house some.

AEW Dynamite was good last night.

Big Brother 26 was good last night. the first 8 houseguests look interesting. hopefully, the next 8, that get introduced tonight, will be as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother 26 and NJPW.

don't miss out on the chance to win the book that i did with Casey Renee Kiser:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/210633465-altered-states-of-the-unflinching-souls

i will hopefully write some poems today while mom is doing her physical therapy.

well, it looks like the changes made to Manchester United's front office have certainly paid off so far...

the MLB season starts back up tomorrow, so i will be on here before the Yankees start a series at home against Tampa Bay.

one thing the ibuprofen has certainly done to me is force me to get more sleep. add that with some weed gummies and i think, although it is disjointed as hell, i have been getting more rest.

ok, i need to start getting ready.

until tomorrow kids...

i didn't sleep well last night...

 i'm not sure if it was because i am restless or i was too damn worried if mom was going to start sleepwalking again. so yeah, a few minutes of a nap, toss and turn, a few minutes more. this went on from 1:30 AM to 7:30 AM. my back has been killing me all day. 

we had a guy out here to do the regular check up on the furnace and air conditioner. thankfully, everything is running well. of course, with mom's Meniere's really acting up, anytime the AC comes on, it drives her nuts. so, i have it at 74 right now. i would love if i could just turn the fucker off and open the windows. but, the humidity is worse for her than the noise. fun times.

the New York Yankees had their asses handed to them last night as Baltimore beat them, 14-1. so, basically the first two games of the series the Yankees won didn't mean shit in the end. they start a series tonight at home with the Cubs. 

NJPW was a blast from the past last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and the season finale of Painting with John. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

i sort of surprised mom last night with some fried chicken from Lee's. she slept most of yesterday because of her headache and i knew her sodium was going to be really low. so, i figured that would at least give her some salt and protein, which did help her headache some. and, it allowed her to have chicken and waffles this morning for breakfast. 

i am guessing i will be on here tomorrow morning, most likely. 

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

 it is another cold one today. at least the sun is out. of course, there is a chance we get a little snow from that major snow storm coming. personally, i hope it misses us completely.

might as well start off with the bad news first. Manchester United pissed away a 2 goal lead yesterday at Aston Villa. honestly, the 2-2 draw feels like a fucking loss.

at the same time that shit show was going on, the Dayton Flyers were playing at Duquesne. Dayton played a complete game finally and won, 72-52.

i did watch a good portion of both NFL playoff games yesterday. the Bengals ended the Bo Jackson curse and defeated the Raiders, 26-19. Buffalo beat the shit out of the Patriots last night, 47-17.

today the Eagles play at Tampa Bay, the 49ers play at Dallas and the Steelers play at the Chiefs tonight.

the New York Rangers won last night at Philadelphia, 3-2. that was a good way to end the road trip.

Saturday Night Live was very funny last night.

Austin City Limits was great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of Yellowjackets, Power Book II: Ghost, Euphoria, The Righteous Gemstones and Somebody Somewhere.

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

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get back from mom's physical therapy.

best of luck to everyone that might get hit by that storm tonight.

looks like it won't rain today...

 so, my sister did make it down here yesterday. we got the umbrella set up for the table on the back porch. she wasn't using it, so that saved us around $100 or so for the umbrella and base. now, just need to find a mosquito spray that really works and we could actually enjoy the back porch for the first time since we have lived here. 

i did feed the birds and water the tomatoes this morning. i figure since it's not supposed to rain today, might as well get the food out there so the birds can enjoy it.

the Yankees finally beat Boston last night for the first time this season, 3-1. of course, it was a rain shortened game of only 6 innings. i'll take it. hopefully, the Yankees can win the series tonight.

i did watch some of the Columbus Crew last night. they won, 2-1.

ROH was really good last night.

here are your highlights from Game 5 of the NBA Finals last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, The White Lotus, The Chi, Black Monday, Flatbush Misdemeanors, Power: Book III and Desus & Mero. i'll be watching WWE Money in the Bank for most of the evening on Peacock.

the USMNT takes on Canada this afternoon at the Gold Cup. the winner will win the group.

the New York Rangers got rid of Brett Howden yesterday (thank god) and got Barclay Goodrow from Tampa Bay. he's a free agent to be, so i'm really hoping the Rangers sign him as he would massively upgrade their bottom six forwards.

i did watch a little of the Manchester United vs. Derby County (managed by Wayne Rooney) this morning. United won 2-1.

i need to go to Kroger to pick up mom's pills, so that's all for me today.

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

the final day of 2020...

 i am so ready for 2020 to be over. i'm not sure if that's the pain talking or the naive fucker inside of me that thinks 2021 is going to be better.

so, just before the Dayton game last night, i saw that Chase Johnson was leaving the team for the second time in 2 years. i'm hoping he gets his health in order and shit, but it is a little funny that this has happened after the end of the first semester 2 years in a row. on top of that, two other players were injured and weren't going to be able to play against LaSalle. that meant that their new player from Finland, Mustapha Amzil, was not only going to be making his collegiate debut in the game, he was going to be starting. now, he was probably the only Dayton player i couldn't be mad at, mostly because he scored 22 points in the game and was the only fucking player on Dayton that looked like he cared. Dayton lost last night to a fucking horrible LaSalle team, 67-65. that was the first time LaSalle won at Dayton since 1999. the more i type about it, all the shit i felt last night keeps coming up. so yeah, they play against George Mason on Saturday at home. if they play like they did last night, they will lose again.

AEW last night was very emotional. they gave probably the best tribute show i have ever seen last night for the memory of Brodie Lee. i cried for nearly the whole damn show.

NXT was very good last night.

i did catch a little of the World Juniors last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight. i watched NXT UK this afternoon on WWE Network. it was a look back on 2020 and was pretty good.

i will be watching the USA vs. Sweden game tonight at the World Juniors. if either team wins in regulation, they win the group. it would be massive for the USA to win tonight. that would give them the "easier" game in the quarterfinal. 

i'm sure i'll probably watch the ball drop tonight and be thankful this fucking year is over.

and i'm sure i'll probably text a few friends around midnight, although i'll probably be the only one awake.

it's painfully obvious that age is getting to all of us. 

i should be on here tomorrow pretty early. if not, it will be after Manchester United plays a huge game against Aston Villa.

until tomorrow kids... be safe tonight and enjoy every second of it.

i got my baseball cards i ordered from Repacked Wax today. in the first pack i opened there was a 1977 Topps George Brett that is worth more than i paid for all 5 packs combined. that made me really fucking happy. i highly recommend and will definitely buy from these guys again.

The Voice was very good last night. the live shows start next week.

my sister got down here this afternoon. we're going to have plenty of food for Thanksgiving.

on the DVR tonight will be AEW, NXT and The Mystery of D.B. Cooper.

i did watch a little college basketball today. it's kind of odd watching these games with no fans and the pandemic raging in all the places where the games are being played.

i'm going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow. 

if you are traveling today, hopefully you get where you are going safely.

i'm not sure what kind of voodoo the New York Rangers have over Carolina at MSG, but holy shit, it's a curse. the Rangers defeated Carolina last night 6-2. that's 16 straight wins over them at Madison Square Garden. just crazy.

Smackdown was pretty good last night. the match last night between Rey Mysterio and Andrade was holy fuck amazing.

205 Live was good last night.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at VCU. if they can find a way to win tonight, i might actually believe they will have a chance to win the A10.

i've got one more load of clothes to put in the washer. we had some freezing rain last night, so i'm doing laundry trying to forget that my arthritis is fucking killing me at the moment.

we're also taking down more of the Christmas shit today. all the trees are back out in the garage. now, just 4 tubs of more shit to go.

i just saw the weather forecast for my birthday. apparently, hell is freezing over.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. it's supposed to be a shitty weather day, so there is a 100% chance i'm going to be a grouchy motherfucker at best.

odds and ends and vomit and god knows what else...

it's always odd sitting in my room and thinking i'm hearing something. i suppose it's one part of being crazy that i tend to enjoy; sort of like my imagination having fun. but, today was not one of those moments. i was pretty sure i heard my mother throwing up in her room while i was watching Manchester united play. i went to check it out and sure enough. i want to think it's just the nerves with her hip replacement coming up in less than 48 hours. she seems to be ok as of right now, but i'm not going to seal up the trash bag just yet.

Manchester United did play a good number of kids today against Crystal Palace. it is always good to see that. it's even better when they help lead the team to a victory. it also meant they were able to rest a good number of players that will be playing in the Europa League final.

the New York Yankees got beat yesterday 9-5. they need some much better pitching today if they are going to avoid getting swept. i'm not holding my breath.

Saturday Night Live was spectacular last night. for the first time in a month, my local NBC station didn't fuck up the broadcast. i am very happy for that as the season finale was great.

NXT Takeover:Chicago was brilliant last night. the UK Championship match between Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne is a strong candidate for Match of the Year in all of professional wrestling. the tag team title match was the main event, which was great. Authors of Pain and #DIY put on a match for the ages. i think it was the first time i have seen a ladder actually break in half during a ladder match. and then the ending of the show with Tommaso Ciampa turning on Johnny Gargano. holy fuck, what a brutal beating. i'm hoping that Tommaso isn't hurt too bad as a feud between the Psycho Killer and Johnny Wrestling would be perfect for the summer. overall, just an incredible show.

ROH was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Silicon Valley, Veep, Last Week Tonight and Twin Peaks: The Return.

i'll be watching WWE Backlash for most of the evening. i'm hoping the guys know how good they will have to be tonight to be as good as the NXT show was last night. i figure Nakamura vs. Ziggler and Owens vs. Styles will be the matches of the night.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i get the feeling that as soon as we start doing all the things mom has to do for surgery this evening (changing the bed, special soap, etc.) the whirlwind will begin.

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

getting back in the groove

so that wild hair did get up my ass again today and i did a little poetry work. i sent out 17 poems today. 2 to Tuck Magazine and 5 each to Your One Phone Call, Because Eileen and Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

team USA got up 2-0 against Switzerland last night and you could see they were already thinking about playing Russia. it's a good lesson for kids to learn and it is easier to teach when you win. Switzerland controlled pretty much the rest of the game. if it wasn't for the USA's power play, they probably wouldn't have won 3-2. they will have to play much better if they want to beat Russia again in the semifinals. if they win, they will play for the gold medal against the winner of Canada vs. Sweden. if the USA loses, they will play for the bronze medal.

Monday Night Raw wasn't bad last night. that doesn't mean it was good either. i do like the fact that they are pushing Braun Strowman as much as they are. the main event scene definitely needs some fresh blood. the last man standing match between Braun and Sami Zayn last night was booked perfectly. that was probably the only thing on the show that was.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Smackdown. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Buffalo. hopefully they will extend their winning streak.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight on the road at St. Bonaventure. the two injured players made the trip, so i'm hoping they might actually play. the team will need them.

today has been another gloomy one. more fog, more rain, more blah. i still have the trash to do here and next door and of course it's raining again. good times.

that's all for me kids. i'll be on here sometime before the USA takes on Russia. it might be a short one tomorrow as i have to take mom to her next doctor's appointment at 6:45 in the morning on Thursday. so i might actually have to get some sleep tomorrow.

facing an ugly world with nothing left in the soul

so i got a phone call from my mother this afternoon. she took my uncle to his next round of chemo this morning. the appointment was for 9 and they didn't see him until around 11. not exactly the best way to treat a diabetic... these were long chemo doses. plus, they need to see if he has any immediate side effects. so she called to let me know that there was no way she could make her 4 PM appointment at Best Buy. she gave me the number to call and to try to get it rescheduled. so like a good boy, i called. after 20 minutes of being on hold, i suddenly remembered i live in the digital age. so i got into my mother's email, found the confirmation email from Best Buy that was sent yesterday and worked my magic. thankfully, i had all the info needed to reschedule it. so, (fingers crossed), my computer will get looked at 1:15 tomorrow. hopefully that time works for everyone. i have no delusions that it is going to get fixed tomorrow. i get the feeling i'll be lucky if i get it back before Christmas. and seeing that i use that as my cd burner, some kids are going to be disappointed this year. a good lesson for them to learn. you count on other people for things, it hardly ever works out the way you want it to.

it has been another dreary day here. the day started off with a thick fog and we got just enough sun to burn that off. and then it went right back to rain and just the kind of skies that call for a rope and a long note.

i was not shocked with The Voice last night. Korin was in the final 2 for the third week in a row. and there was no way she was going to win against Braiden. all my favorites are still alive. i think Jordan will win it but the dark horse is going to be Emily Ann. she has the look, voice, only 17, and has all the country fans behind her.

the VICE special on HBO last night was great. i wish everyone in the world would get to see it and learn something.

The Muppets was hilarious last night. Scream Queens was excellent. the finale next week should be great.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be American Horror Story, You're The Worst and the Saturday Night Live Christmas Special. on WWE Network, NXT will be on but i'll watch that later tonight.

that's because the New York Rangers play at the fucking Islanders tonight as they renew their rivalry. given the injuries the Rangers have, this will probably have to be another game The King steals.

hopefully i will be drinking a victory beer tonight while i'm catching up on the shows.

i'm really hoping this cough i have is gone by the weekend. i don't want to miss the basketball game because of it.

that's all for me today kids. this rain has my back crying for help. so, it's time to go park myself in the massage chair with an ice pack. good times.

i hope everyone is doing better than i am. i think i'm going to get started on the Christmas cards/gifts to my fans and friends this weekend.

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

here comes the sun

yesterday was pretty fucking miserable. the weather was wet and gloomy all damn day. i believe i was in pain from the moment i woke up until the moment i finally fell asleep. and nothing that happened during the day really lifted my spirits.

the New York Yankees pissed away chance after chance yesterday and lost both games of the doubleheader, 9-2 and 4-3. they have to win today or chances are they will be playing in Houston on Tuesday.

Ohio State started off slow once again and played the first half yesterday like they were either stuck in mud or pissed that they were on the road. thankfully, Ezekiel Elliott woke up in the second half and decided to carry the damn team on his own. 274 yards and 3 touchdowns lead Ohio State to a 34-27 victory. without that, Ohio State would have lost. maybe one day this team will realize the talent it has and play to that instead of down to their opponents.

the Saturday Night Live documentary last night was pretty good. 40 minutes or so of it didn't record as the local NBC station had technical difficulties. that probably explains why the WWE Network was fucking up last night as well. too much damn rain. Saturday Night Live itself was ok. i thought Miley Cyrus did a decent job. but, i was so damn tired i will probably have to watch it again.

ROH was excellent last night. 3 really good matches from a baseball stadium. can't beat that.

the WWE special from MSG last night had some really good moments and then some moments where i just know i could write that part so much better than what they are doing right now. i did enjoy Brock Lesnar destroying The Big Show, Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens and The New Day vs. The Dudley Boyz. but, leave it to John Cena to piss all over what would have been a great night of wrestling. and i know he always says that he just does what the powers that be tell him to do, but you would think if he actually loved the business of pro wrestling he would tell those powers that be that it would be best for him to put a younger guy over every now and then. but, apparently that asshole can't bring himself to do that just yet. i doubt it ever fucking happens. at least he's supposed to be taking a few months off soon. thank fucking god.

time for some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

Manchester United plays Arsenal in about 30 minutes. i really hope United takes all 3 points today.

the New Orleans Saints play tonight against the Dallas Cowboys. Drew Brees apparently is going to play. hopefully they end their home losing streak.

tonight on the DVR will be the season finale of The Strain, Last Week Tonight, Homeland and The Affair.

i'm not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow as i will be probably still going over my fantasy hockey draft and wondering which players i'm going to lean on for the season. hard to imagine that's starting back up so soon again.

well, i need to go eat breakfast and read the paper before the game starts. i hope everyone had a great Saturday. may your Sunday be even better.

and your pro wrestling video of the day:

happy birthday to the woman that should have aborted me, probably

today is my mother's birthday. as i told her in her card this morning, 62 rhymes with fuck you, so you have an automatic response to any birthday talk. she liked what i got her, so that made me very happy. now, i just want her to decide if she wants to go out for a birthday dinner or if she wants me to cook (stop laughing) or go get something and bring it home. i figure she will tell me as i'm about 3/4 of the way through writing this.

i sent out 18 poems today. 5 to Carcinogenic Poetry. 3 each to Dead Snakes, The Camel Saloon and Rusty Truck. i also sent 4 poems to Janne Karlsson. those 4 poems i have never sent anywhere. i figured maybe his genius pen could figure something out with them. well, about a hour or so after i sent them, he emailed me back. he definitely wants to try to use the 4 together as a book of some kind. he said one of the poems i sent was one of the most beautiful love poems ever written. those are the kind of words that give me some fucking fuel to keep going. so, if any publishers out there would like to get their hands on this (with the thought of publishing it in 2016 or later), please let me or Janne know. when i hear back from the other places i sent to i will pass on the verdicts.

i'm really getting tired of this never ending cycle of heat and rain we are in. it's like we either moved to fucking Florida or Oregon. it's fucking nuts.

enjoy a quick music break:

Monday Night Raw had plenty of moments last night i didn't like. but, the ones i did like, i really liked. and most of that involved the best heel in all of wrestling right now, Kevin Owens. enjoy:

that right there friends is how you get heat and how you become one of the biggest heels in years on the big stage.
two other parts of Raw made me smile:

now, if they would only go back to making this a 2 hour show, it would be a solid 2 hours with no fluff.

the New York Yankees lost 2-1 last night as the offense decided to take the night off. they play 3 more games against the Marlins; 1 in Miami and 2 in New York. hopefully they get a win tonight.

here's some pretty funny shit from last night:

tonight on the DVR will be Deadliest Catch and the start of season 2 of Tyrant. the USA women play Nigeria tonight in the Women's World Cup. depending on what mom wants to do, i might watch some of that and the NBA Finals.

congrats to Chicago on winning the Stanley Cup. i don't watch them give the cup to the winner anymore. it's too painful when you know the hockey team you have rooted for since you were a child was good enough to win it all once again, but came up short.

i will hopefully dodge more raindrops tomorrow and make it to the bank to make a BIG ASS deposit. i can't remember the last time i put in over $2,000 into my checking account. it probably hasn't happened since i got into a car accident when i was 23 that wasn't my fault. State Farm paid me off pretty good on that one.

that is all for me today. i hope everyone is off to a good start this week. if you aren't living in this obscene cycle of rain and heat, you probably are.

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...
