what better way to start off today than a Rage Against The Machine concert. i recorded that last night and watched it this morning. i figured that was a good way to start a day i really don't care for.
we've got more snow on the way and my body is aching. guess i'll be mixing chocolate and liquor today.
i did watch the NBA All-Star Saturday Night festivities and i'm really fucking happy i did. the dunk contest was off the fucking charts amazing. it honestly brought me back to my youth and watching Jordan vs. Dominique in that dunk contest from 1988. what Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon did last night will live on forever.
the 3 point contest was one of the best ever as well. not quite the Larry Bird domination of the contest in my youth, but the display that Klay Thompson and Steph Curry put on last night was amazing.
overall, the event was much better than probably the last 15 years combined. the amount of young talent in the NBA now is staggering.
ROH was awesome last night, mostly due to a great main event.
Austin City Limits was great as well last night. i really need to see Tedeschi Trucks Band in concert one of these days.
and finally, Saturday Night Live was really good last night. the one sketch about Beyonce and white people was probably the best thing i've seen on the show in years.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vinyl, Last week Tonight, Shameless, Billions, and the Tonight Show special on NBC.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Philadelphia. hopefully the Rangers can get a win tonight and hopefully get back on another streak.
i might watch some of the NBA All-Star game tonight. i highly doubt it will be as good as last night's events were though.
that's all for me kids. i need to get next door before the snow hits. it's supposed to snow from this afternoon to tomorrow afternoon. we're supposed to get anywhere from 1 to 3 inches. i wouldn't be surprised if we get more.
i hope your Saturday was great. i hope your Sunday is even better. hopefully your Valentine's Day goes well.
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 watch video of the day:
the rain last night was supposed to end up with snow this morning. thankfully, so far (fingers crossed), that hasn't happened. of course, i still have to go out and feed the cats and take out the trash. so, if it's going to happen, i bet i know when it will.
i got some sleep last night. i think a little over 5 hours. i guess some victory beers and just being completely drained is the trick for me.
ROH was excellent last night. i really like where they are going so far in 2015.
Saturday Night Live was pretty good as well. these skits really made me laugh:
i have a ton of dishes to do before the New York Rangers play this afternoon. of course, i may wait in case the game goes bad. it's a good way to get my frustration out at times. but, the iron levels in our water here lately is through the fucking roof, so maybe not. i do hope the Rangers win today. they play at Pittsburgh. it would be nice for them to close the gap in the division.
there are two huge NFL playoff games today. first up is Green Bay at Seattle. then, Indianapolis at New England. i'll take both home teams to make the Super Bowl. i'd love to be wrong, but i'm not feeling it.
after those games will be my usual Sunday night programming. Girls, Togetherness, House of Lies, Episodes, Total Divas, and Shameless. i should definitely be ready to crash after all that.
not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. i get the feeling that mom wants to start moving some things over to the new house. so, i'm thinking that will take up most of my day. i'm sure i'll squeeze something in at some point tomorrow.
hope your weekend finishes up nicely. if you're betting on the games today, best of luck to you. if you lose, take it out on yourself and not others. if you win, feel free to send me some of the glory.
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.

so, the "experts" were partly correct with the weather forecast. it did snow. thankfully, we only got three inches of it. here are some pictures of the first snowfall on the farm in 2015:
you can see the rest of the pictures i took in the slideshow on the right hand side of this blog.
thankfully, the snow was pretty easy to shovel. of course, i managed to injure myself anyway. i think i pulled something in my left arm. i probably hurt it yesterday trying to change the water filter in the cellar. thank god i have a wonderful pain tolerance.
it's supposed to get really fucking cold tonight, well below zero. i might have to sleep with the wool socks on tonight.
the World Juniors gold medal game last night was crazy. i stopped watching when Canada got out to a big lead and then i turned back and Russia had cut the lead down to 1. i watched most of the game from there. Canada won 5-4.
Monday Night Raw was disappointing last night. i'm reserving complete judgment to see if all the bullshit from last night leads to something good. of course, given what i think of the company, i don't have much hope for anything good happening.
thankfully, Gotham was fucking awesome last night. the episode had so many twists and turns... edge of the seat type shit for the entire hour. one of the best shows on television.
i think i found the checks i'm going to order when we move. i definitely have to get the Batman checks i found today. too fucking cool.
i have no clue what i'm going to watch tonight. probably some college basketball. maybe i'll catch up on some reading.
i'm planning on breaking out the first poetry submissions of 2015 tomorrow. so, hopefully my arm isn't killing me too much as i have some fucking typing to do.
hope everyone is doing good. hopefully it is warmer where you are. if not, break out the hard stuff for tonight. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

we had a hard freeze last night. i guess winter has decided to set back in for the end of 2014 here. i put out a little extra bird food for the amazing number of birds that actually stay here in the winter. if they only knew i feed them so the cats will have a chance to kill them... speaking of the cats, they seem to be enjoying the limited amount of sunshine we're getting these days. even the young ones lay out in the yard when the sun is out. it almost made it to 30 degrees today. thankfully, no snow.
i completely forgot when i was writing my blog post for yesterday that i have a basketball game to go to tonight. the Dayton Flyers take on Ole Miss in their final non-conference game of the season. this should be another tough, interesting affair. hopefully i'm enjoying a victory beer later tonight.
the New York Rangers win streak came to an end last night. they lost in Dallas 3-2. oh well, shit happens. they play again on New Year's Eve in Florida. i'll be watching that game after i watch the USA take on Canada in the 2015 World Juniors.
i thought Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i really enjoyed the evil Seth Rollins. hopefully that's a side of him that comes out more often.
but the best part of the night to me was Daniel Bryan. the way he strung the crowd along and had them and every viewer at home in the palm of his hands.
that certainly put a smile on my face. and it almost made me want to see the Royal Rumble next month. almost.
if you're wondering about the title of this blog, i had some corn for dinner last night. so, think about corn and then think about shit in a toilet. my digestive system is working.
i'm guessing it's going to be another late dinner at Waffle House tonight after the game. the game is being televised nationally on the CBS Sports Network.
mom went into work today. she kind of had to as the phones here are fucking horrible. and the really funny part is the internet goes out whenever the phone rings or is picked up to check for messages or make a call. once again, thank you to Frontier Communications for being the worst fucking company i have EVER used in my life. thankfully, once we move to the new house, i'll hopefully NEVER have to deal with these fuckers again.
mom said she was going to be back home around 2 pm. i laughed as i figured that wasn't going to happen. sure enough, it's a 4:45 pm as i'm writing this and she isn't home yet.
i cleaned the toilets today. that was certainly fun as my back stiffened up each time i had to stoop down to scrub something clean. good times.
i did manage to get a few songs downloaded on iTunes today, even with the shitty internet. you'll see those songs below in the music section.
that's all for me today. i'll be on here early tomorrow as the USA vs. Canada game starts at 4 pm. i certainly want to get everything done before that starts.
hope everyone is having a great day. if not, go open that bottle of scotch you've been hiding from your alcoholic kids and go enjoy it. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your time.
