here come the storms...

 we have a wicked cold front getting ready to come through here tonight. it was in the 60's today. they just said on the weather that it won't make it to the 40's tomorrow. good times.

grocery shopping went pretty well today. my pinched nerve didn't fuck with me too much. now, when i got home and mom was still asleep... that was when my pinched nerve decided to be an asshole. but, i got all the groceries in and put away. i got mom a Pecan Snickers bar when i was in the checkout lane. i figured when i saw that she was still asleep, she would eat it for her breakfast at 4 in the afternoon.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Calgary, 2-1. if they are going to play like that the rest of the season, they will not make the playoffs.

i did watch some of both games of the First Four last night. Alabama State won with a crazy fucking ending. North Carolina beat the piss out of San Diego St.

tonight, Mount St. Mary's plays American and Xavier plays Texas.

NXT was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, The Masked Singer and Abbott Elementary.

the Dayton Flyers play at Florida Atlantic tonight in the NIT.

i will probably watch some of the First Four tonight.

i will most likely be on here in the morning tomorrow, hopefully before the NCAA tournament games begin.

i know the USMNT plays Panama tomorrow night.

a snowy day...

 well, it wasn't as cold as it has been, but it did snow today. just enough to coat everything again. Orkin came out this morning to check the traps in the attic. no squirrels this time. i did get a nice long nap with some ice on my back before the Manchester United game today.

Manchester United won today at home against Rangers, 2-1, in the Europa League.

the USMNT defeated Costa Rica last night, 3-0.

AEW Dynamite was pretty good last night.

Abbott Elementary was very funny last night.

i think i am going to make the pulled pork tonight that is in the fridge. i can do that in the microwave.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

i forgot to mention yesterday that the new book is definitely a go. i heard from JPR and he loved it. he loves the title i picked for it. now, its just a matter of getting a cover, etc. etc. i'm hoping this will come out sometime in 2025. if so, i will be whoring it around as usual.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done. that will certainly be interesting to see what the stores actually have in stock.

i wrote 4 poems last night. 3 for the book and 1 for the general pile. i will probably get some poems out for submissions tonight.

i am not a morning person...

 i tried sleeping in my bed last night. that went well for two hours. for some fucking reason, i was wide awake at 3 AM. by 4:45, i said fuck it and i went to my massage chair and got some ice on my back. i at least got another 2 hours in the chair. i got mom up at 7:25 as she had a morning appointment with a dermatologist. she has a couple places on her face that she had questions about. of course, they are both pre-cancerous. good times. mom put some Biofreeze on my back before we went. thankfully, that worked well enough that my back didn't act up on me while we were there. after that appointment, i went to the bank. i love that you have to show your ID when depositing a roll of pennies. fuck me. by the time we got home, it was sort of rainy and i basically took a nice long nap.

Big Brother was good last night. Lisa was evicted. Cedric is the new HOH.

NJPW was excellent last night.

i didn't get home in time this morning to see the USA men's soccer team lose to Morocco, 4-0, at the Olympics. i was hoping they would get a chance to move on, but oh well. at least they made it out of the group stage.

hello 2024

 first off, i hope 2024 is the best year for everyone, even my fucking enemies. and i mean that, i am hoping to build on what i was able to accomplish in 2023. and i believe a big part of that is to continue to be as positive as i possibly can be about most things. now, i do know i am too much of an asshole and realist to be 100% positive all the time. but, as the muse has pointed out from time to time, i have made some changes in my life that are very positive. and the biggest one was cutting out nearly all the negative people in my life. last year was the first year that it truly felt like that was working for me. and i certainly want to build upon that in 2024.

the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at Tampa Bay, 23-13. they somehow still have a chance to make the playoffs. they finish up the season at home against the Falcons on Sunday.

i did watch plenty of NFL games yesterday. made a little money as well.

i suppose it would be cheaper if i died...

i got another sign from the universe today that i won't be living on earth for a long time. i paid out nearly $600 that i don't have for those two procedures i had last week. now, mom is probably going to reimburse me for those, but i know that won't last forever. and when i handed her the receipt i told her, it's simply another sign my death would be easier for all of us. good times.

i did make a deposit at the bank today. i really wish the weather would fucking finally change to fall.

the New York Yankees lost last night to the Angels, 3-2. their magic number is still at 1, so a victory tonight will give them the series and the American League East.

the New York Rangers played their first preseason game last night. of course, i didn't get to watch it due to the NHL's stupid blackout policy. the Rangers lost to the Devils, 4-3.

NXT was fucking amazing last night. if this is what the live shows are going to be like, holy shit i am so happy to be alive and be a wrestling fan.

Big Brother was good last night. i'm fully convinced that Michie will vote out Cliff tonight.

American Horror Story was excellent last night. looks like it is going to be another great season.

A Little Late with Lilly Singh Primetime Special last night was pretty good.

enjoy some music:

i did listen to episode 256 of Notsam Wrestling today, as well as the bonus podcast. you can find both of those by going here: http://notsam.com/wrestlingpodcast/2019/9/19/notsam-wrestling-256-adam-cole and https://soundcloud.com/notsamwrestling/nxt-on-usa-episode-1-reaction

Manchester United won today, 1-0 in the Europa League. i was hoping to watch the game, but of course they are making people pay for it now. so, i simply followed along online. it sounded like there were plenty of chances. thankfully, Mason Greenwood decided he wanted to score. United plays again on Sunday against West Ham.

i will probably watch some of the NFL game tonight, mostly because there won't be much else on. the Titans play the Jags.

i will be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

that's all for me kids. until tomorrow...

so, it did cold as hell, sort of, and there was a little snow overnight. none of it stuck anywhere, but there were some snowflakes in the air this morning when i was picking up our trash can. obviously, the wind didn't die down like the news said it would.

i did send out 29 poems this morning. 10 to Dodging The Rain (already rejected), 6 to Record Magazine, 5 each to The Dope Fiend Daily and Synchronized Chaos and 3 poems to Nine Muses Poetry. when i get back the verdicts on the submissions, i will pass them along.

i thought Smackdown was really good last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Masked Singer and You're The Worst. i'll watch NXT, NXT UK and 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

hello November

the drive to my sister's new house was much better than the drive home. they had 70 West down to one lane for a good 7 or 8 miles i think. nothing like being on the highway and crawling along at 10 mph.

my sister's Halloween party was pretty good. she lives across the street from her close friends from college, so it was a pretty laid back affair. she didn't have many kids come to the door, which i think she liked. she's in her cord cutting mode, so i hooked up some ESPN on her television for free. it was funny, when the old men of the group got back from helping the kids around, i think they appreciated that i had some sports on. i really like my sister's new home. i figure it won't be too long until she has it the way she wants it. i think we'll be back up there for Christmas. here's some photos from yesterday:

Manchester United won yesterday over Benfica, 2-0. i didn't see any of the game, but i did enjoy the alcohol. i believe they need just 1 point over their next 2 games to advance in the Champions League.

the New York Rangers scored 4 goals in the 3rd period last night to come from behind to beat Las Vegas, 6-4. of course, i don't watch and they score goals. figures.

Smackdown was pretty good last night.

205 Live was pretty good as well.

The Jim Jefferies Show was fucking hilarious last night.

Drop the Mic was pretty damn good last night.

The Voice was basically just a recap of the season so far last night. the knockouts start back up next week.

American Horror Story was fucking brilliant last night. i think there's just two episodes left for this season. i can't wait.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, You're the Worst and Total Divas. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i knew nothing about the terrorist attack yesterday in NYC until i got to my sister's house. i don't think many people understand that people do become radicalized while they are here. they don't always come here with the intent to do this shit. perhaps, if the police and federal officials did a better job of eliminating hate in this country, there wouldn't be as much of this shit. i'm happy they didn't kill the fucker though. perhaps they will actually get some information out of him.

i have absolutely no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. mom has her next round of injections into her back in the morning.

i hope everyone had a fun Halloween. enjoy the candy and the future diagnosis of diabetes.

what a night

i watched the last 2 minutes or so of the NBA Finals last night. and then for the next few hours, i sat in stunned amazement. i never thought i'd see Cleveland win anything in my lifetime. and honestly, it still feels like some bizarre world of fairy tales at the moment. having lived all my life in Ohio, i get the pain, the neediness, the heartache and all the tears that come along with failure. it makes success that much sweeter but also that much more rare. it's a damn state where the recession has never ended for most of it. and i'm not talking about the most recent one. i'm talking about the recession from the fucking 1970's. but, at least for a night, a good portion of this state got to feel like what the rest of the world gets to feel from time to time... a champion.

all the credit should go to LeBron James. he came back and said he would win a championship and he did. he got a triple double in Game 7, becoming only the 3rd player ever to do that. Cleveland became the first team to ever come back from being down 3-1 in the NBA Finals. LBJ was also the MVP of the Finals. he lead everyone on both teams in every damn stat. that's the first time any player has ever done that in the playoffs. and i will think of this as a series of Cleveland imposing their will and Golden State being so naive to think they could tug on superman's cape. after they said shit about LeBron after Game 4, they didn't win another fucking game.  in more shocking news, the fans didn't burn the city of Cleveland to the ground last night. i'm sure some people are still partying, celebrating the victory. it's been 52 years since Cleveland has won anything. they deserve it.

WWE Money in the Bank was saved by the fact that all the big matches over delivered last night. AJ Styles defeating John Cena was good. it could have been great if Cena would have lost clean. but his fucking ego wouldn't allow that. stupid. the ladder match was spectacular. i had no problem with Dean Ambrose winning the briefcase. Seth Rollins defeating Roman Reigns was perfect. and then having Dean Ambrose come out of nowhere to cash in the briefcase he had just won and become the new champion was great. all 3 former members of The Shield were the world champion in the same night. that should make for an interesting Monday Night Raw tonight.

Euro 2016 Update:
France had no late drama yesterday, so they ended up in a 0-0 draw with Switzerland. they both advanced out of the group. Albania got a huge 1-0 victory, their first ever in a major tournament, over Romania. they are still alive among the 3rd place teams. today, England controlled most of the game but never could solve Slovakia. that game ended 0-0. Wales tromped Russia 3-0. that means Wales wins the group, over England. i'm sure that will be fun in the papers tomorrow in London. Slovakia is still alive among 3rd place teams and Russia is eliminated.

the New York Yankees lost yesterday 7-4. they finished their road trip 3-3, just like a mediocre team would. they are off tonight.

the Sunday night shows were good. Silicon Valley was hilarious. Veep was really good. the season and now after watching it, series finale of Penny Dreadful was spectacular. i was in tears by the end of it. easily one of my favorite shows EVER. it will be missed. and finally, Last Week Tonight was brilliant as always:

enjoy some music:

nothing on the DVR tonight, so i'll be watching Monday Night Raw.

i haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but the latest podcast from Sam & Cathy is out. you can find it by going here: https://soundcloud.com/samrobertsshow/sam-cathy-016-origin-of-sound

it has been hotter than shit here today. damn near 100 it feels like. nothing quite like going out to get the paper and then 30 seconds later you're racing to the toilet. have i mentioned how i'm so looking forward to the vacation in July to Cleveland?

i may do some writing tonight, especially if the wrestling is boring me.

i wasn't using that hour anyway

i made sure to set the clocks correctly before i went to bed last night. i figure it's not too big of a deal, that hour of sleep you supposedly lose i haven't used in 40 years of life.

i thought Saturday Night Live was pretty good last night. i did enjoy Ariana Grande getting the word shit by the censors.

WWE Roadblock was ok last night. the only thing that truly saved it from being a disappointment in my mind was the main event. Dean Ambrose vs. HHH was truly great. the false finishes and the excellent storytelling... you can tell this was a match between two guys that really love pro wrestling. the rest of the card had its moments, but plenty of fluff that was just pointless.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vinyl, Girls, Togetherness, Last Week Tonight, Shameless and Billions.

Manchester United faces West Ham today in the FA Cup. this is one of the last chances United will have to get a title this season. i really hope they play with some urgency today.

the New York Rangers play Pittsburgh today in a game they really need to win. if they want to have home ice in the first round of the playoffs, they have to win these games. i'll hopefully get to see some of it at my sister's house.

mom and i are going up to Columbus to see the Blue Jackets take on Tampa Bay. i have a few players in the game on my fantasy hockey team. this is the last day of the regular season in fantasy hockey. i'll be the 4th seed in the playoffs. i'm pretty sure i'll be facing the guy who is going to finish 20 games ahead of me, so i'm going to have my work cut out for me.

i really hope the Dayton Flyers get a good seed today when the selection committee announces the pairings. i've seen the "experts" have them anywhere from a 6 to an 8 seed. i also hope there will be some good teams come to Dayton for the First Four. i'm really going to be interested to see how mom does with these games coming up. if she doesn't do well, i can't imagine us having sports tickets much longer.

the thunderstorms are supposed to start here shortly, so i think this will be all for me today. my arthritis is raging at the moment. can't wait to make that drive to Columbus in the rain. good times.

just another day in the life

so i woke up this morning to the absolute genius of Janne Karlsson. he sent me this via email from my blog yesterday:

it's always good to start the day with a fucking laugh. i told him if i ever get any fuck you money in my life, this blog and his artwork will become a book. perfect for every bathroom in the world.

i picked up some alcohol at the grocery store last night. i decided since i hadn't had any Jack Daniels in over a decade, it was time for that to end. plus, i needed some more Jagermeister. mom forgot the grocery list, so we went back to the store today to get what we didn't last night. thankfully, it wasn't too much.

mom did however forget to give me my birthday card and gifts yesterday. she felt a little guilty this morning and i, being the true asshole i am, allowed her to wallow in it. she gave me money for the alcohol i bought and gave me the card and gifts this afternoon. my sister is coming down tonight and all three of us are going to go out tomorrow. hopefully the weather cooperates.

my mother got me some clothes that i needed and a ton of gift cards, mostly iTunes and Amazon.com. plus, the t-shirts i ordered from Pro Wrestling Tees came in the mail today. yet another shitty job from the mail carrier with that one. we're going to have to look for a bigger mailbox here soon.

and it's not that i expected some fucking party or a big deal to be made of my 40th birthday. it's simply that i thought it would be acknowledged with more than just words and a dinner. trust me, i know i do a horrible job making my mother feel like she did a great job raising me. she feels guilty all the time about things. certain things she should. but, she didn't do nearly the bad job she thinks she did. of course, i am 40, single and living at home. not sure if that's more my fault or hers.

WWE Smackdown was pretty good last night. i am really looking forward to the Royal Rumble this weekend.

Baskets was totally fucking hilarious. the show is totally absurd and brilliant. i can see why some people will hate it. i'm just odd enough to love the fuck out of it.

Life in Pieces was good last night, as was Lip Sync Battle.

enjoy some music kids:

on the DVR tonight will be Treehouse Masters and NJPW.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Carolina. hopefully they get a win and don't get stuck there in the process with the storm going up the east coast.

i will probably be on here tomorrow in the afternoon, after some shopping and some day drinking.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. call if you need bail money.

thanks to everyone for the comments on my latest YouTube video. i really do read and appreciate all feedback i get. and if you EVER like anything i do, not only tell me, but please tell the world.

leave it to arthritis to ruin the holidays

i was feeling pretty good this afternoon. i just got done watching some wrestling and then it started raining. it's almost like it's a trigger now... my back started to tighten up, my hands started to ache... the whole damn body just wanted to go into a cocoon. it's a damn good thing my mantra is find the pleasure in the pain. i don't suggest that masturbating while in pain is for everyone, but it does have a way of turning the screw so to speak. enjoy the visual.

NXT Takeover: London this afternoon was awesome. i really enjoyed most of the show. i thought the tag team match and the main event were the best ones. plus, anytime you can see Finn Balor come out looking like Jack the Ripper, you know it's going to memorable. it was certainly an excellent way to spend my afternoon.

i guess my uncle is going to be moved to the nursing home right down the street from us. i think the family is having a hard time understanding that he isn't going to be around forever. i don't know if i have ever come across so many people that just are unwilling to accept death as what it is. that there is some cure or hope or whatever the fuck that is going to keep him around forever. quite honestly, it's fucking baffling.

the New York Rangers did just enough to get a win last night. i thought the kids (McIlrath and Skjei) played pretty good. i'd love to see the team keep them both around for the rest of the season. this team needs some youth. a much needed 4-2 win over Edmonton. they go back out on the road next, i believe to Minnesota.

i was happy that Jordan won The Voice last night. he truly has a wonderful voice. plus, to dominate like he has on iTunes all season, he truly deserved to win. that being said, i have no doubt that Emily Ann Roberts will have a much better career in music.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be American Horror Story.

i will be watching Abby Wambach's final game tonight. as a lover of the sport, it can't be understated what she has meant to Women's soccer in this country.

other than that, i will probably be helping my mother with some more Christmas shit.

hopefully i get to bed at a decent hour tonight. i've been finding myself up at 3 in the morning for the last few nights. that's not fun when you wake up usually before 7 in the morning. i guess i will sleep well when i'm dead.

i hope everyone had a great day. if you didn't, go tell someone else about it.

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...
