so the next few days are going to be tricky... mom has a doctor's appointment the day before Thanksgiving. that means i am doing the grocery shopping tomorrow instead of Wednesday. thankfully, i don't think we need much from the store. hell, most of the money is going to pills this week. add in that the Dayton Flyers are playing in Hawaii and i highly doubt i am going to get much sleep for the next few days.
so, Manchester United got a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town yesterday. United scored 80 seconds into the game, so i was really hoping that was a sign of things to come. of course, it wasn't. what i did love was the new coach basically said exactly what was wrong after the game. the players thought too much out there and they were scared. that alone makes me think they hired the right guy finally.
i did watch plenty of NFL games yesterday.
Somebody Somewhere was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Monday Night Raw and What We Do in the Shadows.
the New York Rangers play at home tonight against St. Louis. hopefully, the Rangers will end their losing streak tonight.
the Dayton Flyers play North Carolina in Maui tonight. the game starts at 11:30 PM. Dayton is a (at least when i put money on them) 7.5 point underdog.
i might watch some of the NFL game tonight between the Chargers and Ravens.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
until tomorrow kids...
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.
get the fucking shot.

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:
i had to get up early this morning. and by early, i mean sometime before 7. i had to drive mom to get her blood work done and some x-rays. i'm simply not a fan of being up that early anymore. i wanted to believe i gave that life up when i left the farm for good. here it is, late afternoon and it fucking feels like it's already time for bed. fuck me runnin'.
i did take along my pen and notebook this morning. i have a tendency to do what i did in high school all the time, write poems in public. i did really enjoy the paranoid looks i got from people when they saw me get out the pen and paper after staring at them for a few seconds. that's good fun. i wrote 3 poems while in the waiting area. the fourth poem came when i was back at the house, on the shitter after breakfast. it figures the best one would come from there. i do my best thinking anymore on the shitter. i did type all four poems up. i think 3 of the 4 are really good.
so the trip for the medical shit, breakfast, typing up poems, feeding the birds and two trips to the shitter were all done by 11 am. that's simply way too much for my liking.
what really sucks now is we are under a flash flood watch. it was dry all morning and my bone spurs never acted up. a little rain and hello agony. good times.
enjoy some music:
the New York Yankees got some great pitching from Tanaka yesterday and some good offense for a change, winning 6-2. Brett Gardner found out during the game that he made the AL All-Star team as an injury replacement. good for him, he deserves it. the Yankees finish off the first half of the season by starting a series tonight in Boston. hopefully they sweep the Red Sox and keep those clowns in last place.
Big Brother last night went as expected. i do like who the new HOHs are, Austin and Vanessa. those were the two people i actually knew of before the show started, via wrestling and poker. hopefully this week is interesting.
Lip Sync Battle was really funny last night. once again, the summer is a good time for some stupid tv that just makes you laugh:
here is some more funny shit:
tonight will be an interesting one. on top of the baseball game, team USA plays Haiti in the Gold Cup. i'm hoping the boys play a much better game than they did against Honduras. on the DVR tonight will be NJPW and a returning Treehouse Masters.
i did watch some of the USA women and their ticker tape parade in NYC this afternoon. everything they get they truly deserve.
i'd like to thank Janne Karlsson for his suggestions for this blog. one thing that i did like right off the bat and i will try to do each Friday is a blast from the past of my poetry. so, today here is an old YouTube video of mine. as i told Janne, my lazy ass needs to do some more of these videos before too long. anyway, hope you enjoy:
i hope everyone has a great weekend. i believe mom and i are going to go out car shopping. most likely scenario is her getting a new one and i get her old Toyota Highlander. it has over 250,000 miles on it but still runs very good. plus, if that does happen, that would be the first vehicle i have owned that was actually made in this century. as i always like to say, it's fun to always fail forward.
hope you have better weather than we do currently. have a great weekend. only fuck the ones that cough. drink a little too much and go leave your neighbor a surprise on their porch.

i had a lovely conversation (turn on your sarcasm machine now) with the dream woman this morning. she told she was trying to get her shit together to come see me this weekend. i thought ok, that's great news. she then told me i just needed to send $140 to Nigeria to complete the ticket for her. the money is to be picked up by a guy and then taken to her travel agent. apparently, i'm some fucking dummy that is supposed to just say ok. so, i started to ask questions. like any scam artist i know, the more i asked, the more "she" got upset. i use the quotation marks because who knows the fucking truth in all of this, if there is anything that could be called truth at all. "she" then went on to tell me about her love for me and no matter how stubborn i am, we are meant to be together, blah, blah, and fucking blah. i told her if that was true, great, but have fun with the other suckers in the world because they are much easier to fool than me. and when any instant message conversation ends up in ALL CAPS, i feel like i am on the right side. who knows, maybe "she" is the one for me. knowing that the last woman that really "loved" me is a former convict, it certainly is possible. but for now, i'll enjoy being single and still having my identity.
the Yankees lost last night, 5-4. that puts them FINALLY on the brink of elimination. they play again this afternoon, which could end up being the last home game for Jeter given the weather forecasts for New York. if they have it on at the sports bar i'll be at, i'll watch some of it.
after the long ass conversation this morning, i am definitely looking forward to lunch with my best friend from high school this afternoon. that should be one fun conversation. with plenty of drinks.
i actually need to take care of some medical shit this morning. running low on pills and i've got to find out if i'm having my blood drawn this Friday at the doctor's office. good times.
The Voice was pretty good last night. i have an early favorite so far this season...
a crazy voice for only 15.
tonight i'll be watching the season finale of Big Brother and The Bridge. hopefully both are great.
that's really all for me. if something amazes happens this afternoon, maybe i'll do a quickie later today.
thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your time.

we got a little rain last night. but, just a few hours after it, it didn't look like we got much. it was already dry. so, i said we needed a nice long rain. well, guess who got fucking stuck out in the rain today? right after i got done feeding the animals, i was walking out the door to go to town to get the mail and sure enough, it starts to rain. by the time i am down at the end of the lane, it is coming down in sheets. just my luck, the trash cans didn't have the lids on and the huge recycle bin was already collecting water. needless to say, by the time i got back in the truck from getting the paper, i was fucking soaked. it was spooky driving as the dumb fucks out here in the sticks rarely turn on their lights when it is raining. thankfully, i wasn't the truck that nearly got swiped by the trash truck. i was 200 feet back from that near disaster. and wouldn't you know it, the second i step out of the post office, it stops raining. talk about wanting to punch mother nature right in the face.
hope everyone enjoys my new YouTube videos. got that inspiration while i was taking the trash down yesterday. i figured i was going to take pictures of the new kittens anyway. why not just make it an adorable video with a dirty poem included. i love my creative outbursts.
finally got to talk to, let's just call her, my dream woman, on the phone today. such an amazing, thick accent. incredibly sexy. of course, these old ears are going to have a hell of a time hearing her through the static. she is in Alaska of course. that figures. no woman that is TRULY into me would live anywhere near me. oh well. time to strap in for the crazy ride once again.
you know it is getting ready for fantasy football time when you see this video come out:
since golf ran late last night, i only got to see bits and pieces of Big Brother. man, i wish Frankie would get out of the house soon. Ray Donovan was good once again. The Strain was great as usual, although it seemed like there was a ton of commercials in it last night. Last Week Tonight was funny as hell last night. Masters of Sex was good once again as well. i'm liking this season more than the first one.
as for tonight, i figure i will be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening. it's Hulk Hogan's birthday, so i figure the show will be a trip down memory lane.
the Yankees lost again yesterday, 4-1, to ruin what could have been a great home stand. they face some must win games in Baltimore starting tonight if they really want to go to the playoffs this season.
i decided to treat myself today and cashed in some of my survey points to get some iTunes gift codes. you'll see that madness below.
that's all for today. see you again sometime tomorrow...
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, love, peace, hate mail, etc.

we had a bit of a plumbing nightmare yesterday as our water softener has more or less died. we'll be having a new one put in on Tuesday. needless to say, i won't be going to the tap for anything for the next few days. i'm basically waiting to see if the water we have now will glow in the dark or catch fire. fun.
i watched a few innings of the latest Yankee debacle last night. 4th loss in a row. i can't wait for this team to find bottom. hopefully it is soon. at least tonight's game is blacked out for me, so i won't be bothered with it.
i watched a little of the start of the Confederations Cup today. a nice tune-up for the World Cup next year. Brazil looked pretty good today.
my sister came down this morning. i got a look at her new car. looks really nice but there is basically no way i'll be in it. it sits way too low for my back. oh well. we did mom's birthday today. i think she was pretty pleased with her gifts. i have no clue if we're doing anything tomorrow. i believe my sister has to go back home tonight. maybe a Waffle House breakfast or something. or maybe not.
not sure what is going to win out for me this evening. the Batman movie on HBO or game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final. given how i feel about sports these days, i'm leaning to Batman.
plenty of reports that the New York Rangers have hired a new coach. it's the guy i was hoping for, Vancouver's former coach. i wanted him simply so i wouldn't have to see one of my heroes get fired. besides, i don't think Messier is ready for it just yet.
that's pretty much all for today.
a quick tip to the muse, turn your phone off. that tends to help stop the calls you don't want. and get some more sleep, you need it.
peace and chicken grease.
