this was almost going to be a happy story

i was in a pretty good mood until i got home from the grocery store to watch the last few minutes of the Ohio State game. i could tell from listening on the radio, they weren't playing well today. i got to see it with my own eyes the last 7 minutes and they honestly looked like they were spent. that the emotions of senior day and the weight of the winning streak and trying to repeat as national champions finally broke them. hopefully they all understand that they have no chance of doing that now. all they need to focus on is winning next week against that shit school up north and then go collect all the free shit at your bowl game.

thankfully, i have a couple of victory beers coming to me.

but first, let's start back at yesterday.

the drive up to Columbus was crazy. nothing quite like driving 15 MPH over the speed limit and you're still getting passed by other vehicles. the traffic in Columbus is fucking nuts. i suppose since i have never lived in anywhere near a big town, i'm just not used to it. i'm a very aggressive driver and i expect everyone else to be so as well. i learned a long time ago he who hesitates, loses.

it was good to see my sister again. she got me a poetry book from South Africa and a bottle opener that's made from ivory i believe.

the game went completely different than i thought it would. the Blue Jackets got off to a great start, scoring on their first 2 shots. then, their goalie started to stand on his head:

that was a 4-0 win i never saw coming.

we went to Steak 'n Shake after the game and the service was fucking atrocious. but, on the plus side, i should have plenty to write about. the drive home took longer than it did to get up there. so many damn semis and of course, there was a fucking accident because of them. we got off way before we normally do and took the back roads home.

i watched Undateable about as soon as i walked in the door. it was brilliant as always. The Knick was awesome once again. and NJPW was a full hour of AJ Styles vs. Tanahashi.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

so after about 3 hours of sleep, i was up to watch Manchester United. with all their injury concerns, i didn't expect much. Memphis scored early, which made me very happy. Watford drew even late on a penalty kick and thankfully, the same guy that scored on the pk scored an own goal for a smash and grab 2-1 win for United. that moves them to second in the league. imagine what this team could be if everyone would be healthy.

after that, some breakfast, some emails and then i was off to see the Dayton Flyers take on William & Mary. i knew this was going to be a tough game. i didn't know that the officials were also going to be playing against the Flyers today. and sadly, on some plays, it was beyond fucking obvious that someone knew that Dayton was a 8 1/2 point favorite and they were going to make sure they made some money today. Dayton fell behind by double figures in the first half. thankfully, they came out on fire in the second half. it came to the end and Dayton held on for a 69-66 win. i guess the officials got what they wanted.

we got some lunch after the game and then went to the grocery store. what was going to be let's just get the 5 things on our list turned into another shopping trip for next door. i quite frankly don't understand why mom jumps at the chance to help them. i understand it's her brother, but he also has 4 children that can go get them shit as well.

of course, this always turns into mom helping the people who gave birth to the cousin that molested me in my mind. and i always swallow my fucking pride and help. one day the world will not be so fucking lucky.

mom got tired as we were in the store and apparently didn't hear me say don't forget the coupons as she went and paid for their food without giving the cashier the coupons. and since it was already closed out by the time she finally did hear me, they couldn't do anything about it.

this always makes me chuckle as i have never been allowed to make any mistakes in my life. i always figured any mistake i made would cost me even more of my father's love. of course, my mother never did anything to change this thought in my head. so i brutalize myself anytime i make a mistake. that also includes getting poems rejected, fucking up dinner, not hanging a picture exactly level, etc. etc. it more or less has me at the point where i don't try anything because i don't want to fail. while i completely understand this will stop me from ever being great or reaching my potential, i still fall into the same fucking trap.

as you might imagine, the cauldron is boiling boys and girls. and look, here come the holidays...

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live and ROH.

i've been typing this while watching/listening to the New York Rangers game. hopefully i will have highlights of a victory to share tomorrow, that is if the YouTube feature of this fucking blog is working correctly.

if you ever want to see what could have been in this blog if that YouTube feature was working correctly, check out my Google+ page.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. we might get some light snow tonight. i guess winter is coming and so is my never ending pain.

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...

i'm never happy when it rains

the rain was supposed to be here by now. my back, as you might imagine, is screaming bloody fucking murder right now. all i can hope is the rain is through here by the time i make the drive to Columbus. i'm not a big fan of driving in the rain, or driving in the rain through construction. let alone having to make that drive twice in a day. good times.

i mostly flipped through some hockey, football, shows on the Discovery channel and the Food Network last night. my fantasy hockey team played much better last night. and i did pick the football game correctly. but all in all it was a night where i just used the massage chair to try to get my back in a better place. i thought it worked until it took me hours to find a comfortable spot in my bed to fall asleep.

i'm lazy this morning so there will be no Flashback Friday today. if you are disappointed, you could always subscribe to my YouTube channel and go watch all my videos there.

and now some of this and that:

our seats for the hockey game tonight are a little closer to the cannon than i would like, but i can always hope it never sounds except for the pregame shit. i'm not sure why the New York Rangers have to be the season opener for Columbus (this is 2 years in a row). hopefully it goes better than last season. we have to get up there a little earlier than usual because of all the pregame shit. we're in the Club seats once again. that makes it a little easier for mom and myself. my sister ends up walking the arena for a good portion of the pregame. she's a bit of a fanatic when it comes to getting her steps in each day. i'm hoping the Rangers win tonight so my drive home won't be a fucking shit fest. if i don't take losing well in the comfort of my own home, you can imagine how i am when in public. this is where it comes in handy looking like someone you wouldn't want to fuck with to begin with. the Rangers have their home opener on Saturday night against Columbus. if tonight's game gets a little dirty, Saturday night will be a bloodbath.

i'm really hoping the DVR works well tonight as Undateable and NJPW will be recording while i'm up in Columbus. i'm really looking forward to Undateable. this whole season will be live. that should be fucking awesome.

i'll be on here early tomorrow morning as Ohio State plays at noon tomorrow. plus tomorrow is the HUGE game between Mexico and the USA. as usual, a busy sports Saturday.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. if i'm not full of piss and vinegar tomorrow morning, you will know mine got off to a decent start.

it's just another day to me

i've promised myself i won't write any i'm alone again on Valentine's Day poems this year. thankfully, the weather has turned to shit, so i can always write about that.

i'm running on not much sleep at the moment and i'm truly dreading the -20 with the windchill temps that are coming this way.

the hockey game last night in Columbus was great. it's always fun to watch a couple of ex-New York Rangers find a way to beat the fucking Philadelphia Flyers. the Flyers blew a 3-1 lead in the 3rd period to lose 4-3 in OT. that loss helped me flip the stats in my fantasy hockey this week. all in all, a pretty good evening.

mom and i went out to Waffle House when we got back into town and it might have been the worst service i have EVER received at any restaurant in my life. we sat for 20 minutes before we even got asked what we wanted to drink. and then the food i ordered was almost cooked completely. almost. needless to say, i'll probably have a poem about that experience written soon.

i didn't watch Treehouse Masters or NJPW last night. i tried to get some sleep. i might have got about 4 hours.

when i got up this morning i remembered i didn't check my email last night. thankfully i had less than 100 emails to get through this morning. i fed the cats and told them i'll be on dead cat detail tomorrow morning as i'm sure one of them dumb fucks will freeze to death overnight. the snow isn't bad. the wind is ferocious. it's already blown the barn doors open and knocked some of the wood off of one of the barns. good times. i'll be sleeping by a heater tonight that's for sure.

the Dayton Flyers somehow beat St. Bonaventure today 75-61 with basically 6 1/2 players. one player got injured (hopefully he's ok and just missed the second half as a precaution) and another fouled out before the end of the game. i was waiting for Dayton's coach to just play with 4 guys Hoosiers style. but, i'll certainly enjoy the victory beer tonight. here are some highlights:

most of the really bad weather happened while we were inside at the game. the drive home wasn't too bad. of course, getting gas was a bone chilling experience.

tonight, i'll be bouncing between some NBA All-Star shit (3 point contest, slam dunk, etc) and the New York Rangers game at Arizona. after that, i'll be watching ROH tonight and hopefully staying warm.

i'll be back on here early tomorrow, that is if we still have power or if Frontier Communications has managed to keep the internet up and running. it went out on me this morning as i was trying to watch some YouTube videos. that's always fun.

hopefully your weather is a hell of a lot warmer than mine is. i do hope you are having a great weekend. if not, pour yourself something stronger. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

welcome to the bitter cold

i'm not really looking forward to the next few days. it is supposed to get really cold. not life and death cold, but cold enough that i'll have to make an effort to stay warm in the house. good times.

the New York Rangers have fallen into a very risky trend here lately. great teams, hell, even good teams can get away with constantly blowing 2 goal leads in the 3rd period. amazingly, the Rangers got away with it again last night. but, 2 points is 2 points. and there were a few nasty goals as well last night in a 6-3 win.

and that wasn't even the nastiest one:

here are the full game highlights:

i did happen to write a poem last night. i will probably type it up sometime this weekend. i'd like to write a few more so i have a good bunch to type up.

i was in some pain last night trying to fall asleep. how i managed to get around 6 hours is beyond me. i'm happy i did though as i have some driving to do today.

this will be a short one as i need to get to the bank and get the mail before mom and i leave to go to Columbus for the hockey game tonight.

i won't probably be back on here until Saturday afternoon/evening as the Dayton Flyers play tomorrow at 12:30 PM. needless to say, i'll be running on empty after that.

i'm not sure if i'll get to watch what i normally watch on Friday nights (Treehouse Masters, NJPW) when i get back from Columbus tonight. i'll probably be busy checking my emails.

i really need Columbus to beat Philadelphia tonight. my fantasy hockey is struggling this week and could use that victory.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. hopefully you don't have shitty weather coming your way. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

why does the phone always ring when i'm just getting ready to pull your panties down...

so, there i was, putting the fucking moves on my waitress from the steakhouse yesterday... things are getting hot and heavy and then... the phone fucking rings. i wake up. it's always just a fucking dream anymore. this world is slowly trying to snuff out my imagination. i can't let them win this one.

i was up pretty damn late last night. i was listening to a wrestling podcast while watching some porn. talk about having your cake and eating it too. i did get the dishes done and took a long shower as well last night. all after i went down in the cellar and changed out the water filters. the smell was getting to me. mom basically can't smell anything anymore it seems. i did tell her when i came up from the cellar that i'm certainly not going to miss doing that at the new house.

i guess the closing date for the new house is Dec. 19th. everything seems to be lining up for this to happen. now, it's all about getting some shit done around here on the farm and then hoping we can sell this without ever having to list it on the market. i do think we're going to have to rent a storage space for a few months, just to be able to put shit in before we have a big ass garage sale.

today is a busy sports day for me. the Dayton Flyers play at Arkansas. this is a huge chance for the Flyers to get a nice win on the road that will definitely help them come NCAA tournament selection time. it will not be easy, especially given the way Dayton has been shooting the ball here recently.

right after that is over, i'm driving up to Columbus with my friend Paul to see the Blue Jackets take on the Penguins. Paul is a huge Penguins fan and he has never been to see them. actually, i don't think he's ever been to a NHL game. so, this is basically my Christmas gift to him. i told him all he needs to cover is the parking and whatever he's eating and drinking.

i think we're driving back after we get something to eat, so i highly doubt i will be in home in time to see Saturday Night Live. hopefully i am home in time to see ROH. there is a tag team match i really want to see tonight.

i think i will be back on here tomorrow after the Manchester United game. they play Liverpool tomorrow, so i'll either be really fucking happy or really fucking mad when you next hear from me.

i do hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. may no phone calls interrupt your visions of ecstasy. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

a slight dusting of snow...

the winds were fucking crazy last night. it was a struggle to keep my mother's SUV in the lane last night on the highway. of course, i was going nearly 80 miles per hour for most of the ride home. we didn't get any snow on the drive back, but i did wake up to a little dusting this morning. i was more concerned with the temperature of 33 degrees. i guess winter wants to start early this year.

the hockey game was pretty fucking boring last night. there was easily more Toronto fans there than Blue Jackets fans. and they were the arrogant pricks i figured they would always be. i told my sister last night when i was going into the bathroom, if i'm not out in 10 minutes, i started a brawl. of course, nothing happened, but i did laugh at all the empty cans of LaBatt's around the bathroom. as for the game, Toronto won 4-1. they outplayed Columbus the entire game.

after going out to eat afterwards, we did get home in time to watch Sonic Highways on HBO. once again, the Foo Fighters knocked another one out of the park. another great episode. i did get a good laugh when most of the band had no clue who the country stars were on the walls when they were at the Grand Ole Opry.

i got my assignment from Janne Karlsson done before i left for the game yesterday. i love when a quick brainstorming session brings out something good. he liked what i wrote and is planning to submit it soon.

today will be a day of college football, maybe a little soccer, hockey, some laughs, some music and then, hopefully, some sleep.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Winnipeg. hopefully i am drinking a victory beer by the end of the game.

Ohio State plays tonight against Illinois. hopefully they win easily as i would like to watch most of the Auburn vs. Ole Miss game.

Saturday Night Live should be great tonight. Chris Rock hosting and Prince is the musical guest.

after that i'm planning on watching a new episode of ROH.

not sure if i'm going to the store today with mom or not. i know i won't be going to look at the house next to where her brother lives today. not sure i really want to live next to the people who birthed the girl that molested me. even as fucked up as i am, willfully bringing on such mental shit is even beyond me.

i'm cutting this a little short as i need to go feed the animals. i'm interested to see how the young cats did last night.

hope everyone is coping with the day after the sugar highs. have a great weekend. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your time.

Halloween in a winter coat

i went to bed really late last night/this morning. i had to do the dishes, mostly because i wanted to make sure there was some hot water running in these old pipes. the joys of having an old house and you're having your first freeze warning of the season. when i got up, it was close to 40 degrees. sadly, that's probably the high temperature for today. good times. reminds me of my youth having to wear a winter coat over my Halloween costume. thank god those days are over.

my plan worked out again with the New Orleans Saints last night. i picked against them and they won again, on the road even. i'll gladly keep up that habit if it gets them back to the playoffs. they are first in the division once again. a very good 28-10 win on short rest.

i did watch a little bit of LeBron's return to Cleveland. he played tighter than a nervous virgin in an orgy. painful to watch. i doubt they will play that bad again this season. especially against a team that sucks like the Knicks.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty good last night. Billy Bob Thornton did a great job in his role. thankfully, i'm not that fucking awkward around women.

i got an email from Janne Karlsson this morning with an assignment that i'm going to try to get done sometime this weekend. it's always a good sign when he sends me some art and i immediately have some words come to me.

mom and i have a hockey game in Columbus tonight. the Blue Jackets are facing the Toronto Maple Leafs. i love getting to see teams from the Original 6. all i have left out of those teams are Montreal and Boston. i think we have tickets for the Boston game in Columbus... or maybe not. i got to see Detroit and Chicago play in Chicago years ago. and i have seen the Rangers a handful of times in my life. hopefully it is a good game tonight. the Blue Jackets have a ton of injuries, so i'm thinking it may be a glorified minor league team tonight. but, another chance for me to amaze my sister by knowing all the words to O Canada.

it is supposed to be snowing tonight after the game. i would prefer if that shit would wait until i get back home. not that i fear driving in the elements... it's the other assholes on the road i can't stand. plus, most of the drive will be in under construction zones on the highway. good times.

hopefully we get home at a decent time as i would like to catch the new episode of Sonic Highways tonight. Foo Fighters are quickly becoming one of my all-time bands.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i'm guessing late morning/early afternoon as Ohio State plays tomorrow night. it's a pretty big sports weekend, most notably it is the Manchester Derby weekend. i'm slowly gearing myself up to be mentally spent by Sunday at noon.

hope everyone has a great Halloween. try not to be too big of a prick to the kids knocking on the door. and don't be the asshole that gives something other than candy.

finally, the weekend...

amazingly, i got close to 6 hours of sleep last night. for me, that's the equivalent of getting almost 10. so, i was wide awake this morning. as i was getting ready to come down the stairs, i noticed 4 deer in the backyard. it was pretty funny as they were grazing along and then came up to the fence. i imagined that one of them said, who the fuck put this here. 5 minutes later, they were still figuring out how to get around it. as entertaining as that may be, i got on the computer as i wanted to get my shit done early this morning.

the Rangers won last night, 2-1 in a shootout. watching it was like trying to pull teeth. they were playing a team of guys that should be in the AHL, and were getting outplayed by a mile. but, 2 points is 2 points. here are the only highlights of the game that mattered:

i believe their next game is on Sunday against San Jose. they will have to play much better if they want to get a win in that one.

my mother was crushed by the Jets losing last night. she didn't expect them to win, but to get that close... i think i have created a monster now. she never cared about sports until my passion for them overtook the house. i laugh when my mother starts cussing at the television now. speaking of cussing, my running back from New England basically did fucking nothing last night. so, i'm trailing in both of my fantasy football matches. good times.

in a few hours i'll be on the way to Columbus to watch the Blue Jackets take on Calgary tonight. i have a guy on my fantasy team from each team. i do hope it is a little more exciting than the last one. since the Rangers aren't playing tonight, i won't be looking at the out of town scoreboard as much. not sure where we'll be eating after the game with my sister, but since she's driving, i suppose it's wherever she takes us.

hopefully i'll get home in time to watch the season finale of The Knick on Cinemax and the premiere of the Foo Fighters show on HBO. i get the feeling i'm going to be up late tonight.

thankfully, Manchester United doesn't play until Monday and Ohio State plays at 3:30 pm, so i'll be able to get some sleep.

i should be on here tomorrow before the Ohio State game, unless mom wants to go to the store and then who knows when i'll squeeze in a post.

hope everyone has a great weekend. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

one day the sun will rise again...

i felt like i did the right thing yesterday by waiting to leave for the hockey game. and for the first 5 minutes of the drive, i was right. and then it started to rain. and rain, and rain some more. it rained all the way to my sister's condo. and then it rained all the way to the arena. thankfully, my sister knows her way around Columbus. we avoided most of the traffic and got to the arena in plenty of time for the game. more on the game in a bit.

it rained for about 1/3 of the drive home last night. and it has rained on and off all day long here. to say i'm a bit gloomy and in pain would be an understatement. though, i did achieve a bit of joy by shooting my load into the middle of my chest earlier today. enjoy that visual as you read the rest of this.

the Blue Jackets lost to Dallas 4-2. i had a pretty good time, mostly because the 2 goals Columbus scored were by the guy on my fantasy team. though, my mood went to shit in the third period as i noticed the scoreboard and what was happening in the Rangers game. more on that in a moment. the next game we go to is on Friday. they are playing Calgary. i'll have fantasy interests on both of the teams that night. i did get to feel like i knew what i was talking about when i was telling my sister about the best players on Dallas. they scored all 4 of the goals.

the Rangers lost to the Islanders 6-3. thank fucking god i didn't watch that shit. Rick Nash scored 2 more goals, so that's really helping my fantasy team. but my goalie is fucking killing me. i know he starts off every season a bit slow... but giving up 6 goals in back to back games is a bit much. of course, after reading the game reports, his defense is doing him no favors. they play again on Thursday. maybe they will get a fucking win.

i watched a bit of The Voice on YouTube today. once again, none of the battles really blew me away. hopefully the good shit comes next week.

we ate at Waffle House last night around midnight. i felt sorry for the black woman working there. the town we live in has hardly any minorities. and the two white cooks weren't saying a fucking word to her. not even boring work chit chat. if i wasn't so fucking hungry i would have whipped out the charm... but the weather is doing me no favors.

i'll be watching a little hockey tonight, maybe some baseball, and eventually American Horror Story. that will get over in time for me to flip over to Foo Fighters week on Letterman.

i got most of the guys i wanted in fantasy football. now, i will have to come up with a plan to beat two opponents that are way better than me. hell, one is still undefeated. i have a feeling i'm going to come up short this week. hopefully my picks are good. i'm on a bit of a hot streak with those.

i'd like to go through my file of unpublished poems tomorrow and figure out what i'm going to send where. i'm hoping to send out some more submissions next week sometime.

that's all for me today. hope the weather is better wherever the fuck you may be. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

a fresh slice of hell...

we've been battered with storms more or less for the last 12 hours. mostly just high winds but no damage that i can tell. the rain has been killing my back though. the last line moved through here about 30 minutes ago. i'm hoping it will be out of the area when we drive to Columbus in 45 minutes or so.

i'm not looking forward to the drive given the wind. now, if we don't come across too many 18 wheelers, it should be fine. but i know how this state is. construction areas, sleepy truck drivers, accidents. my fingers are fucking crossed.

the guy who farms out here did take off some of the corn before the storms hit. i'm guessing he needed some to fill up a truck. but, the harvest season has begun.

i did watch most of Gotham last night. excellent as usual. Monday Night Raw could have been so much better. i'm blaming it on lazy fucking writers. i caught most of The Voice on YouTube. i thought a couple of the battles were good but nothing blew me away. i'm going to miss the show tonight, so i'll be relying on YouTube again. The Big Bang Theory was pretty good last night. i caught that on YouTube after i watched the new episode of Video Game High School. one of my guilty pleasures on YouTube where i allow my inner geek to have some fun.

the Rangers play the Islanders tonight in a game where i would love to see the Rangers defense look much better than the last 2 games. i'll follow the game up in Columbus at the Blue Jackets game. thankfully, our seats on the club level aren't that far from the scoreboard for out of town results.

i'm hoping the game tonight is entertaining. maybe some goals, maybe some fights. maybe not as long a line in the restroom, etc. etc.

i won both of my fantasy football matches last night. now, i need to pull off some waiver wire magic as i have another bye week that's going to take out some of my good players.

i need to get in the shower so i'm going to cut this short. if anything interesting happens tonight, i might be on here later. if not, i'll do a nice long recap tomorrow. especially if i'm eating at Waffle House or Steak 'n Shake at 11 pm or later once again.

hope everyone is doing good. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.
