so, today was one of those days...

 i had to mail out a book today. i got everything ready and went into the garage to start the Highlander. it wouldn't start. well fuck me. so, i called AAA and they said they would give me a jump in about 90 minutes. ok. 90 minutes later, the guy was pulling up into the driveway. nicely played. he gave me a jump. said the battery looks fine, the sensors said it just needed charged, but said you should probably get a charger for here in the garage. good point. mom has ordered one from Amazon today. she went with me to the post office so i wouldn't have to turn the Highlander off. i got the book mailed and we went back home. i started the Highlander back up to get the mail before the snow started. thankfully, it started right up and was good. once that charger gets here, i'm going to make sure it stays charged, at least through the winter. the battery is like 8 years old, so i know damn well a new one is needed soon. so yeah, that was how my day started. good times.


i wrote 5 poems last night for the book. that brings that total up to 25. a few more nights like that and i'll have 40 in no time.


Notre Dame defeated Penn State, 27-24, to win their semifinal of the college football playoff last night. Texas and Ohio State plays tonight.




the New York Rangers won last night at home against the Devils, 3-2 in OT.





enjoy some music:





and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Bill Maher: Is Anyone Else Seeing This?


i will probably be watching the Ohio State vs. Texas game for most of the night.



i will most likely be on here early tomorrow. since there will be a ton of sports on tomorrow.


we are getting more snow right now. probably about 2 inches so far, with another 2 to come.


i hope everyone has a great weekend.


until tomorrow kids...

when life starts moving at 110 MPH...

 so, i have been really falling for this woman i have been talking to for the last few weeks. she's from Switzerland but is in Atlanta, father is Swiss, mother is American... she's not like the other ones that are clearly bots or scam artists. we get into these pretty deep conversations. and nothing she has told me has come up any different in any google searches. the hard part is the wall i have built up to protect me from these situations turning negative doesn't want me to believe this could be real. but, seeing that i haven't been in a relationship in 21 years, loneliness is fucking killing me. so, she is quickly becoming the antidote. we both agree that taking it slow is for the best. that is the other part that makes me think she actually is real. so yeah, if i seem a bit scatterbrain at times, you now know why.


Orkin was back out here today. they got another squirrel in a trap in the attic. he put two more up there and baited with the suet that caught this one. i know if these traps go off, the squirrels are either getting into the attic from the roof, or mom's theory might be right, they are in the walls. good times.


the New York Rangers lost last night at home against Dallas, 5-4 in OT. considering the Rangers were up 3-0 in this game... time to blow it up.





the season finale of Hard Knocks was excellent last night.



NXT was very good last night.








enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:








on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, Inside the NFL and Abbott Elementary.


the Dayton Flyers play tonight at UMass. hopefully, they will win.


grocery shopping went ok today. i managed to get everything on the list for under $200. i did make it to the bank today to deposit a check.


the roads were pretty good for the most part. the side roads were at least drivable. the parking lots weren't icy, thankfully.


i did write 2 poems last night for the book. i was so damn tired last night that i typed them up this morning.


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


until then...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.

finally, a win in Europe...

 i was hoping for the best today as Manchester United was playing on the road in the Europa League. they haven't won on the road in Europe since March of 2023. the first half was boring as fuck. then, United's keeper made a horrible pass and that of course ended up in the back of the net. thankfully, United made some subs and that made the difference. Rasmus Hojlund scored 2 goals after he got into the game. United tried to piss it away, but thankfully, United won 2-1. that gets them closer to making it to the knockout stages of the Europa League.






AEW Dynamite last night was very good.






The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.



Inside the NFL was good last night.

mom has a hair appointment tomorrow at 11 AM. considering she doesn't like getting out of bed until around 3 in the afternoon... tomorrow is going to be a chore.

why am i up at this hour...

 i got up at 5:30 this morning for some fucking reason. 3 hours of fucking sleep. it feels like i have been in and out of a coma all damn day. joy. i did make it to the bank to make a deposit today. 


the New Orleans Saints lost yesterday at home to the Rams, 21-14. that pretty much eliminates them from making the playoffs this year.

another pissed off afternoon...

 so, Manchester United pissed away a 2-0 lead today at Porto in the Europa League. add to that, Bruno got another red card for a high boot that made no fucking contact with a player, even though the Porto player acted like Bruno made him bleed. but, United tied the game at 3 in the 91st minute. still, a 3-3 draw isn't fucking good enough.





i did take mom to her podiatrist today. they were more busy than normal. i also set up her appointment next week to have more blood work done and the appointment for both of us to get our COVID shots. i know she wanted to get all that done before she has her eye surgery.

at least it wasn't ice...

 it rained and rained all night long. as you can imagine, i didn't sleep worth a shit. i  probably didn't fall asleep until around 5 AM. thankfully, i woke up and was able to have breakfast before noon. i got all the grocery shopping done and was able to get back home before the next round of weather started. good times.


so, there has been some holy shit news today in pro and college football. Pete Carroll out as Seattle's coach and Nick Saban is retiring from Alabama.

time for the playoffs...

 the NFL regular season is finally over. now, it is time for the playoffs.




the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at home against Atlanta, 48-17. Atlanta fired their coach after the game. i know everyone is talking about the late touchdown the Saints scored, going against the play the coached called. now, i understand both sides of this argument. what truly pissed me off was the Saints head coach immediately threw his players under the bus in his apology to the Falcons. to me, if i was the owner, i would have fired him right there. how the fuck do you think any players want to come to New Orleans in free agency when the coach shows time and time again he doesn't have the players backs. the Saints are at the worst spot in the NFL right now, they are mediocre. 9-8, shitty draft pick, blah blah blah. 







the Dayton Flyers won yesterday at home against UMass, 64-60. thank god i took Dayton on the moneyline.



The Curse was really good last night. the season finale is next week.



i did catch some of the Golden Globes last night.



enjoy some music:








and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw.


the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Vancouver.





i will probably watch some of the national championship game tonight between Michigan and Washington. i'm torn a little bit. i'd love to see Michigan lose since i am an Ohio State fan. but, i'd win more money if Michigan wins.



Manchester United plays today at Wigan in the FA Cup. if United wins, i will have 14 of the 15 FA Cup games i betted on correct. a nice big fuck you to West Ham for that draw that would have possibly given me the 15 out of 15 (and roughly $400). of course, if United loses today, i really hope heads start to fucking roll.



i did write 3 poems late last night. that was encouraging, at least to me. i'm going to try to get some poems out late tonight.


i hope everyone had a great weekend.

here comes the rain...

 well, it is going to be too warm for a white christmas this year. i guess it is going to fucking rain, most likely for days. joy. i made sure the bird feeders were full, given what is coming. i screwed my back up moving some shit back into the kitchen. that was fun. but, i did get my Charlie Brown christmas tree up. that's all i can muster this year. i'm just hoping when the contractor gets here in the morning that he gets the vent hood in and is gone before noon.


i did take mom out last night to see some lights. we just went around town. it was pretty nice, although mom talked about how it was much better in the years past. as is everything, hence nostalgia.


the finale of Big Brother: Reindeer Games was excellent last night. i didn't think Nicole would win.




NJPW was good last night.


here are your NBA highlights from last night:



the New Orleans Saints lost last night at the Rams, 30-22. trust me, the game wasn't as close as the score shows.

the sun forgot to show up today...

 hard to believe it has been 7 years since David Bowie died. that was one of those deaths that really hit me harder than i was expecting. especially given that it was 11 days before my own birthday. really engages the poetic side of my brain or existence, etc. so, all the music will be from Bowie today.


the national championship last night wasn't good. Georgia absolutely destroyed TCU, 65-7. i did win a little money last night, but certainly not what i was hoping for. i did finish with more money than i was given at Draftkings, so i will take that as a win.







Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.












the New York Knicks lost last night at home to Milwaukee, 111-107.




here are your NBA highlights from last night:



Manchester United won this afternoon at home against Charlton in the League Cup, 3-0. they have now advanced to the semi-finals.

where to begin...

 yesterday was a busy ass day for me. and i only made it busier by taking a nap right after i got this blog done. but, i did get everything done yesterday that i was hoping to; laundry, mom's bills, etc.


so, let me start off with the New York Rangers. they pissed away a 2 goal lead yesterday and lost at New Jersey in OT, 4-3. not exactly how i wanted to wake up from the nap.








i did watch both NFL games yesterday. got the winners of the games correct but nothing much else.




Austin City Limits was really good last night.

and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of George & Tammy.


the New Orleans Saints play today at home against Carolina. hopefully, they will finish this season with a win.



i'm sure i will watch some other NFL games today as well. most of my bets today are parlay bets or a few no-brainers, especially the win if the Bengals score bet. i'm pretty confident i will win $50 on that one.


a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:

welcome to the weekend...

 so, the doctor's appointment i had today went well. my weight was down, my A1C was down, my blood pressure was great... i got a flu shot finally and was in and out in about 15 minutes. i don't think it could have gone any better than that. 


after the appointment, i went to Rite Aid. i wanted to get some small lights for the Charlie Brown Christmas tree. while i was there, i found a box of sugar free candies that was 70% off. the lights were 60% off, so i was very pleased to get both for under $10.


Vice News Tonight had two great shows this week.


NJPW was good last night.


the New York Rangers won last night at home over Toronto, 3-1.








i was thrilled the Yankees signed Carlos Rodon last night. now, get a left fielder please.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i'm hoping to get all of mom's gifts wrapped.


hopefully the cards and packages have made it to all the lucky ones out there. or, i at least hope they get there in the coming week.
