i hate the grey days of winter. blah does nothing for me anymore.
i did get all of my Christmas shopping done last night. 7 things for my sister and 7 things for my mother. hopefully they like what i got. i usually do a pretty good job of getting things they like or understand it's for shits and giggles.
i had a nice, long conversation with the muse last night, probably around 2 1/2 hours. i will once again say publicly, if this isn't the woman i'm supposed to spend the rest of my life with, i'm truly fucked.
the season finale of Total Divas was pretty good last night.
NXT was good last night.
205 Live was really good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, Will & Grace and The Last Days of Knight.
the New York Rangers play at Ottawa tonight. hopefully, they can beat them again this week.
the New Orleans Saints play tonight at Dallas. i'd love to see the Saints win their 11th game in a row tonight.
the conclusion of the MLS playoffs second leg of the semi-finals is tonight. Atlanta United at New York Red Bulls and Portland Timbers at Sporting KC.
for some damn reason, Menards has my mother's shipping address as our old farm, but the bills all come to the house. mom alerted them to this when she ordered some things from there, but of course Menards did nothing. so, mom saw last night that it was delivered to the farm. i told her we might as well drive out there, it's probably still on the fucking porch.
i can't believe the number of trees that have been cut down. they have cleared so much and wonder why it floods down at the end of the lane. the family living there now have done a pretty nice job with the house. they are running a little business there as well. the upgrades they made to the porch and summer kitchen was stuff we always wanted to do but never had the money for it. and yes, the package was right where i thought it would be. after that trip, mom wanted Taco Bell. that pretty much summed up a night in a small town.
i think i finished the 8th poem i wrote last night around 3 in the morning. i definitely hopped on a wave last night and rode the fucker to death. i typed those 8 poems up this morning. a few are really fucking good. the total brings me to more than 30 poems this month. so, that goal has been met. i think i will do some poetry submissions in early December and call it a year then. i'd like to actually trick myself into thinking i'm looking forward to Christmas this year.
my plan mostly worked yesterday. i figured if i did the grocery shopping while Manchester United was playing, they would do well. sure enough, when i got home from the store they were up 3-0. they eventually won the game over Watford 4-2. that cuts the deficit in the league back down to 5 points. hopefully City will fuck up today and leave it there.
the grocery store wasn't nearly as crowded as i thought it was going to be yesterday. i was able to find everything on the list. i had to restock the freezer, but i was able to keep the bill under $140.
the New York Rangers lost last night to Florida 5-4. they were in a 3-0 hole after the first period. i guess when you grind your goalie into the ground with so many damn starts in a row, it's bound to happen. but, the Rangers also have had a shitty tendency this season to start games sometime around the second period. it's not a way to have a successful season, i know that much. the Rangers got back into the game, eventually tying the game at 4-4. they should have had the lead by then, but the replay officials in Toronto have no damn clue what goalie interference actually is. Florida scored late in the 3rd to win the game 5-4. i would have loved for the Rangers to at least get a point out of that game. the division is going to be fucking crazy this season and every single fucking point will matter.
Smackdown was pretty good last night. i do love where they are going with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.
205 Live was pretty good last night as well.
Drop the Mic was really fucking good last night.
The Voice was its usual travesty last night. what happens nearly every fucking season on this show is some lousy fucking country singer will stay and some black soul singer will be voted off. it never fails.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Total Divas and Bruno Mars: 24K Magic Live at the Apollo. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
mom and i are going to the Dayton Flyers vs. Auburn game tonight. i think she's feeling up to it. it's supposed to be close to a sellout tonight. Dayton has never lost to Auburn, although i think that might change tonight. the game is on nationally on CBS Sports Network.
that's all for me today kids. hopefully i will be on here tomorrow with good news.

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 was actually able to get almost 5 hours of sleep last night. i figure that was due to the mix of pain pills and alcohol. of course, it wasn't 5 hours in a row. just my luck.
i would say the pain is becoming a little more manageable. of course, by saying that i'll be in agony later tonight.
i had a pretty good night last night. got all 4 playoff games right over the weekend. my fantasy hockey team responded well after a losing week by winning 10-0. and all the Sunday night shows were really good.
the New York Rangers got off to a great start last night, basically putting the game away in the first period with 3 goals. the Flyers did their usual shit, which helped my fantasy team with the penalty minutes. Rangers get a huge win in the division, 4-1.
i watched a few minutes of the Golden Globes last night. i thought what i saw was pretty funny. i watched some more of the highlights this morning on YouTube.
as for the Sunday night shows, True Detective was great. i can see that show quickly becoming a favorite of mine. has the potential to be really fucking creepy in the psychological kind of way. i liked the first episode of Girls more than the second one. Shameless was great as usual. looks like another crazy season is in store. House of Lies was back to being really good. Episodes is usually so bad it's good. just like last night.
as for tonight, after Monday Night Raw all i really wanted is a nice long shower and for the pain pills to work a little better. i'm sure i'll be watching some college basketball as well.
the silly season is back in full swing and i'm really enjoying all the "news" going on with Manchester United. if i have learned anything under David Moyes, expect nothing and be told it's a good thing.
as for all the A-Rod news with the New York Yankees... i'm really at the point where i don't give a shit. hopefully he is gone for all of 2014 and that money is used for better pitching. and hopefully one of these castoffs can be a decent third baseman for them this season.
that's all for me. hopefully everyone is better off than i am. be well, be drunk, be creative, be...
