today has been one of those days where if i could have slept the entire day, i would have. but, since it is nearly impossible for me to sleep more than 3 hours at a time, i at least got a few naps in.
yesterday, mom had some people over for an early Thanksgiving of sorts. i thought it went pretty well. the food was good. all in all, not bad.
the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at home against the Browns, 35-14.
the New York Rangers won last night at Seattle, 2-0.
Somebody Somewhere was excellent last night.
Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.
i did catch episode 7 of Say Nothing last night. i will probably finish up the series this week.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Monday Night Raw, What We Do in the Shadows and part 1 of the Leonardo da Vinci documentary on PBS.
the USMNT plays Jamaica tonight in the second leg of the CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal. they enter the match up 1-0.
i might watch some of the NFL game tonight between the Texans and Cowboys.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after i pick up my prescriptions from Kroger.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
i'm guessing we're having leftovers for dinner tonight.
until tomorrow kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i don't know if it is because of the Olympics being on and i'm up at all hours so i can watch shit live, or just the days seem to be dragging along slow as fuck... the dog days of summer are here. i did make it to the bank today. after i made that deposit, i went to Big Lots, hoping to find some baseball cards. no luck. hell, they didn't even have any Funko Pop! toys either. well shit.
the Yankees lost last night to Baltimore, 7-1. the best part of the game was the fucking cat running around in the outfield. and of course, since this is the Yankees season from hell, Gerrit Cole and Jordan Montgomery both have COVID now. so, the Yankees will be starting a rookie tonight. hopefully, he does well. he's their #6 prospect, so i'm hoping for the best.
Monday Night Raw was good last night. as usual, it could have been better.
i did stay up to watch the USA men's basketball team defeat Spain, 95-81.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NXT and Deadliest Catch.
i do plan on watching some of the TBT finals tonight.
i do believe the USA women's basketball team plays Australia late tonight. i'm sure i'll be up watching that.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
i have some friends with books coming out, so here are a few links for you to check out:
mom has decided that today is going to be a cleaning day. of course, the sun is out and it feels good...
Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.
Betty was really good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be ROH.
i'm not sure other than vacuuming the house what mom will want me to clean today. i imagine she'll have me dust all the stuff she can't reach. i love how she gets into these moods. she's fucking determined to work herself to death one day. she simply doesn't understand how to relax and enjoy the moment. and i wonder where i get it from.
not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. i know mom has this big breakfast planned. i'll be slightly shocked if she remembers it. her day to day memory is getting worse. thankfully, she has a doctor's appointment the day after Memorial Day. but of course, the doctor she is supposed to see isn't available at the moment since he is the lead doctor for all the COVID-19 shit in the area. joy.
that's all for me kids.
until tomorrow...
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands...

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.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i woke up about 2 hours later than normal this morning. i looked at the clock and was like holy shit. i think i got almost 6 hours of sleep. and since i was home alone most of the day, i got some shit done. clean the toilets, vacuum the house, feed the birds, put away the dishes, etc... hopefully my mother will be happy.
so the Manchester United bomb scare yesterday was a fake bomb left behind by a private security company from a training exercise. jesus fucking christ. how fucking hard is to count the number of fake bombs you put out and then count again when you are done to know you got them all? so the game will be replayed tomorrow. just great. hopefully no one gets hurt as United plays in the FA Cup final on Saturday.
the New York Yankees won yesterday, 7-5. to take 2 out of 3 from a really hot White Sox team was pretty impressive. it looks like the back of the bullpen could be great, if their arms don't fucking fall off from being used everyday. the boys are on the road in Arizona tonight. hopefully they keep the wins coming.
House of Lies was pretty funny last night. Silicon Valley was hilarious. Veep was really fucking funny, especially considering how much death i've been around in my life. Penny Dreadful was amazing as usual. the ending was a mind fuck of epic proportions. and Last Week Tonight was great as usual.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and Gotham. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw and then some things on WWE Network.
i did watch a little of the playoff game last night between San Jose and St. Louis. the Blues won Game 1 2-1. i could easily see this series going 7 games.
i think the conference finals start in the NBA tonight. if i'm up late, i might try to catch the last 5 minutes or so.
i listened to the latest Sam & Cathy podcast today.
today was definitely one of those days where i would have loved to go to sleep outside. it felt great out there when i was feeding the birds. hopefully the birds get to the food before the fucking squirrels do.
that's all for me today. i'll be on after the Manchester United game tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i got up early this morning to get the paper. i could feel it was still raining, so i wanted to get out there and get it before it was soaked. the lazy fucker that delivers it put it in the mailbox instead of just putting it in plastic. oh well.
i wanted to make sure i was fully ready for the Manchester United game this morning. i didn't want another team celebrating at Old Trafford and i knew United had to win to have any realistic chance of finishing in the top 4 this season.
United came out on fire and Anthony Martial eventually scored the opening goal of the game. of course, as i have seen way too many fucking times this season, United never truly pressed ahead to get that next goal. Leicester eventually scored on a set piece to send the game to half at 1-1. United has had a tendency this season to over pass the ball instead of shooting. that was what the entire second half was, including after Leicester went down to 10 men. yet another day of fucking frustration. final score, 1-1. so Leicester doesn't win the title at Old Trafford but more importantly, United will need a fucking miracle even god can't produce to finish in the top 4 this season. sadly, the best part of the game was seeing my favorite Manchester United player ever in the stands, Eric Cantona. long live The King.
i did watch the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremonies last night. i wish N.W.A. would have performed, that certainly would have made some white people uncomfortable. i did enjoy Cheap Trick performing though. that's one of those bands i'd still love to see live.
i didn't watch the New York Yankees at all last night. from the look of the final score (8-0), i didn't miss a damn thing. they will try to not get swept tonight by Boston. given their recent history against David Price, they have no fucking chance.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be House of Lies, Silicon Valley, Veep and one of my favorite shows EVER, Penny Dreadful.
while all of that is recording on the DVR, i will be watching WWE Payback on WWE Network. it could be a sneaky great ppv. a ton of "new" matches and one of my favorite rivalries of all time, Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn. that should steal the show. i believe after that is over the WWE's new adult cartoon, Camp WWE will be airing.
so it looks like my night will be full of wrestling and some crazy shit. good times.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday will be even better.

there's that chill in the air that only means it will be winter soon. or as i call it for fat people, fashion season. where you don't look ridiculous because you have on a few layers of clothes. the time of year where sweatpants are okay. good times.
my sports day yesterday wasn't awful. it wasn't great either, albeit i did enjoy Ohio State once again beating the shit out of Michigan. i suppose i should start there.
Ohio State did yesterday what they should have done all fucking season. run the ball, run it again, and then run it down their throat again. i believe they rushed for well over 300 yards against that shit school from up north. 42-13. i couldn't be happier.
Manchester United had its usual performance yesterday. a decent set piece but god fucking awful in the final third. that being said, i wasn't totally pissed with a 1-1 draw considering they lost at Leicester last season 5-3. of course, they did piss away a chance to be top in the league. if Arsenal wins today, they will be 4th. that's what happens when you can't score more than 1 fucking goal in a game.
but, in happier news, Happy Birthday to Ryan Giggs.
the New York Rangers played like shit yesterday. i guess losing Stepan and realizing the league wasn't going to suspend the dickhead that did the hit just took the life out of the team. losing 3-0 to Philadelphia at home to extend the losing streak to 3 games is hopefully the low point for the season. they play again at home on Monday.
Austin City Limits was good last night. i could listen to Jason Isbell play anything. ROH was excellent last night.
enjoy some music kids:
and now for some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Homeland and The Affair.
the New Orleans Saints play at Houston today. hopefully they come off the bye week with a victory.
the Dayton Flyers renew their rivalry with Xavier today down in Orlando, Florida. this will be for the championship of the Advocare Invitational. i hate Xavier with just about every fiber of my body, so i really want Dayton to win this championship.
my fantasy football teams look to be in good shape for this week. of course, that could all change by tomorrow. amazingly, it looks like i may actually win a week of fantasy hockey. HOLY SHIT.
my sister just left to go back up to Columbus. hopefully the travel isn't too bad for her on the highways.
i did a little poetry work last night. i think i figured what poems i'm going to send where in my last big submission of the year. i'd love to do that on my old computer, which hopefully will be getting fixed here soon. if not, i may just break out a credit card and get myself a new computer for Christmas.
that's all for me kids. i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday is even better.

there's a chilly sunshine today. i'm sure the birds were happy when i got out there and put some food out for them. plus, our cheap ass chimes in the front broke. so, to make the front yard even more sophisticated white trash, i got out the black duct tape and fixed it. then i had to make a trip to the post office.
i sent out 16 poems today. 6 to ZYX and 5 to Horror Sleaze Trash and Hiram Poetry Review. when i hear back from these places i will post the verdicts.
i was really disappointed with the Manchester United game yesterday. they fucking lost in penalty kicks to a team in the league beneath them. 3 United players missed penalties; Rooney, Carrick and Young. fuck me. not even to mention that the ref missed 2 obvious fucking handballs in the box. what truly pissed me off was this was another classic example of this United team playing down to its' competition. that fucking drives me insane. the sad thing is you could see the teenagers actually trying to do something positive. everyone else acted like they didn't want to be at home playing in front of 70,000 fans or so. needless to say i was livid after the game. mom got upset with me after the game. i laughed as i chose to actually shave and take a shower after the game. i guess i'm supposed to start drinking, break shit and then beat the ones i love like a good sports fan. and they think i'm the one that has gone crazy.
thankfully, NXT was excellent last night. the tag team match between Jason Jordan and Chad Gable vs. Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa was off the charts great. overall, the show was just what i needed after that shitty soccer game.
i also watched Culture Shock and Table for 3 after NXT. other than the feed fucking up from time to time, it was a good use of my time.
American Horror Story was great last night. each episode gets a little darker and more graphic. LOVE IT. You're The Worst was great as well.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight so i will be flipping between the NFL game, some college football and some hockey. maybe even some NBA as well.
i did catch some of the Sacramento Kings loss to the Clippers last night. i do think the Kings will be better this season. i doubt they will make the playoffs out west, but i do think they will be close. hopefully.
that's all for me today. i think mom and i may go out later today. i know she said she wanted to get some things. if so, maybe something will spark my imagination for tomorrow. i'm not holding my breath.
i should be on here sometime in the afternoon tomorrow. not that you actually plan your day around this blog (like you should).

so i waited around all day for the New York Yankees to do something at the trade deadline and they did nothing. it's a bit of a gamble when just about every other team in the American League got "better". hopefully these prospects they have decided to hold on to become the next "Core Four" like they are thinking they will.
the Yankees lost last night in Texas 7-6 on a walk off single. it was a game where the Yankees had plenty of chances to kill them off but never did. oh well. they start a series tonight in Chicago with the White Sox, who are on fucking fire at the moment. it should be an interesting series.
my sister forwarded me an email from one of our aunts last night with some eye opening news. i never knew that colon cancer runs on my father's side of the family. perhaps that is why i didn't sleep well last night. i did finally get all the addresses to my father's sisters. so, i will start the Christmas cards this year. i figure that is a decent start for someone who genuinely hates most humans.
enjoy some music kids:
Big Brother was pretty good last night. it should be an interesting week with James as the new HOH. he wants to carry out the plan Jason had before he got evicted. if it happens, the house will be crazy in a few days.
Married was pretty funny last night. it also reminded me why i hate dating. SDRR was pretty good as well. Lip Sync Battle was probably the first one that did nothing for me, but that was probably because i had no fucking clue who the two stars were. first time i really felt old in a while.
tonight on the DVR will be NJPW and Treehouse Masters.
i got some FREE music at NoiseTrade today. i'll put that link in the music section below.
i hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. i believe my sister might stop by sometime tomorrow, plus the art i ordered from Fracture Me is supposed to be here tomorrow. i can't wait to see how the photos of the farm turned out.

i'm not really looking forward to the next few days. it is supposed to get really cold. not life and death cold, but cold enough that i'll have to make an effort to stay warm in the house. good times.
the New York Rangers have fallen into a very risky trend here lately. great teams, hell, even good teams can get away with constantly blowing 2 goal leads in the 3rd period. amazingly, the Rangers got away with it again last night. but, 2 points is 2 points. and there were a few nasty goals as well last night in a 6-3 win.
and that wasn't even the nastiest one:
here are the full game highlights:
i did happen to write a poem last night. i will probably type it up sometime this weekend. i'd like to write a few more so i have a good bunch to type up.
i was in some pain last night trying to fall asleep. how i managed to get around 6 hours is beyond me. i'm happy i did though as i have some driving to do today.
this will be a short one as i need to get to the bank and get the mail before mom and i leave to go to Columbus for the hockey game tonight.
i won't probably be back on here until Saturday afternoon/evening as the Dayton Flyers play tomorrow at 12:30 PM. needless to say, i'll be running on empty after that.
i'm not sure if i'll get to watch what i normally watch on Friday nights (Treehouse Masters, NJPW) when i get back from Columbus tonight. i'll probably be busy checking my emails.
i really need Columbus to beat Philadelphia tonight. my fantasy hockey is struggling this week and could use that victory.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. hopefully you don't have shitty weather coming your way. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

i set out this morning to get the poems out nice and early. little did i know that my stomach had different plans. but, once i got that handled, it was typing time.
i sent out 23 poems today. 3 you might have already seen, as they were published at Dead Snakes. i sent out 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Trailer Park Quarterly, Conduit, and Carcinogenic Poetry. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts. i've sent to a couple new places to me, so i'm hoping for some good news.
mom was busy/sick today, so i did most of the running around. i knew i better get some cat food as i was really low. i managed to get that. i do love how i intimidate people in public. grow a long goatee and watch people think they better not fuck with you. good times.
i had one young cat die on me today. it must have died overnight as i remember it eating yesterday afternoon. the scary thing is it only got to around -5 with the windchill this morning. i'm wondering how many are going to die when it hits -30 with the windchill tonight. i guess i better bring a shovel along with me tomorrow when i go to feed them.
my left arm isn't getting any better. i'm trying my best to not use it much. i know i see the doctor in a few months. my stubborn ass will probably wait until then, or at least until it falls off.
i watched a few college basketball games last night. i took it as a great sign that the same Ole Miss team that Dayton beat almost won at #1 Kentucky last night.
tonight is another crazy night of television for me. first off will be Lucha Underground. i'm really looking forward to that. then, i'm going to give TNA a shot on their new channel. hopefully it won't be a waste of my time. after that, i'll be watching American Horror Story. i'm so happy that is back. but, of course, i have something else i need to watch at the same time. the New York Rangers are out on the west coast tonight and tomorrow. Anaheim should be a good test for the boys. needless to say, i'll be up late tonight. hopefully drinking a victory beer. mostly to stay warm.
i've done my best to make sure none of the fucking pipes freeze tonight. that's the last fucking thing i need with the farm right now. now, hopefully the electricity stays on all evening.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i suppose sometime after dead cat detail.
i hope everyone is warm and enjoying life or perhaps just this moment. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

we got about 3 1/2 inches of snow overnight and this morning. it was a wet, heavy snow. easy to shovel, if you don't have a bad back. let's just say, i'm feeling it right now. mom and i made it to the house inspection without any problems. just a few minor electrical problems (switching old shit to new shit basically) that need to be fixed and the house will be one step closer to being ours. of course, my sister wants us to move as soon as we can. that made me laugh. she should know after her 37 years in this family, we are a bunch of fucking procrastinators. if we're all moved in by Spring, i'll be fucking shocked.
sadly, they hadn't picked up all the trash by the time we got home from the inspection. so, i had to go back out into this shit to get that. that is certainly one thing i will not miss about this place. taking the trash down 1/4 mile lane in the winter fucking blows.
the Bengals whipped the Saints yesterday, 27-10. i'm still at a loss for words at how badly the Saints played yesterday. first time they have lost 2 games in a row at home in 5 years. i have no clue what they are going to do for the rest of the season. so much for them being my guaranteed win yesterday.
my one fantasy team, favored by 18 points is currently losing by 23 points. i have quit giving a shit about that team as they have been eliminated from having any chance to make the playoffs. but, my other team is currently winning by 60 points going into the game tonight. that team is in first place and i am certainly hoping to make another deep playoff run.
the shows last night were great. The Newsroom was awesome. i love the pace of that show. Homeland had me on the edge of my seat last night. there was almost a holy fucking shit moment. The Affair peeled another layer off the onion last night. i'm certainly interested to seeing where it goes next week.
tonight is a huge clusterfuck on television for me. first off, the New York Rangers play at home against Tampa Bay. that marks the first time 3 ex-Rangers will be back at MSG. that includes the former captain and one of my favorite all-time Rangers, Ryan Callahan. so, it should be a crazy, emotional night. hopefully i'll be enjoying a victory beer by the end of it.
also tonight, all at the same time mind you, i'll be trying to watch The Voice, Gotham, and Monday Night Raw. i do have a player playing tonight in the football game, but i'll follow that online. i suppose i'll watch most of Gotham and use YouTube to help me with the other two.
all i know is i'm going to spend most of tonight working on getting the pain out of my back. so it's going to be some ice and probably some Jameson Irish Whiskey. that should get the job done.
not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. i know that team USA takes on Ireland in another soccer friendly. maybe i'll get on after that one. of course, if it's a long morning (it's supposed to get down to the single digits tonight) i might be typing to stay warm in the morning. that's another thing i won't miss. living in an old house in the winter is not fun. as much as i love looking at the trees in the snow, having to add a third blanket to the bed in hopes to stay warm is nuts. that shouldn't be a problem in the new house. of course, the furnace is the oldest thing there, so i'm sure we'll be replacing that within the first five years there. everything else is relatively new (5 years old or less).
hope everyone had a great weekend. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

i truly enjoy how bizarre my life is at some times. in my shower last night, i knocked off the scab that has formed on my left leg. well, little did i know, i was still bleeding when i went to bed last night. so, i now know how much i toss and turn. plus, i couldn't fall asleep for shit last night. thankfully, the west coast feed of Cinemax had some eye candy on at 6 this morning. 5 minutes later, and i was ready for a good nap.
and i truly know any weekend is going to be great when i wake up to watch Manchester City lose to West Ham.
after i get done with this, i need to feed the animals out here and get that done before El Clasico. i should try to get to the post office as well as i might have a package there waiting for me.
after the soccer match, mom and i will be heading down to UD Arena for some basketball. hopefully there is some decent parking left as we'll be getting there a little late.
after that, we need to swing by the grocery store to get my drugs. i didn't realize i was low until this morning.
i had a very musical evening last night. i watched the documentary on Swedish House Mafia before i saw Sonic Highways on HBO. i knew of the bands they were talking about in the Washington, D.C. punk scene, just never knew the real history of it. so, that was a very good history lesson. plus, the song that the Foo Fighters came up with at the end was fucking great. that's two weeks in a row that i have really enjoyed the show. that makes it must see from now on.
Ohio State plays on the road tonight, at Penn State. that should be a very tough environment for the young Buckeyes, but hopefully i will be drinking a victory beer later tonight.
i do believe Saturday Night Live is new tonight. and i will hopefully still be awake to watch the new episode of ROH.
my sister got in late last night/this morning. amazingly, she was up after about 6 hours of sleep. usually when she comes here she'll sleep a good 9 hours before she decides to get up. i know she wants me to burn some music for her sometime today. so, i'm going to be interested to see where the fuck i squeeze that in.
i will be on here tomorrow morning as Manchester United plays Chelsea at noon. and with all my fantasy football shit to do in the morning so i don't miss the game, i'm going to be pressed for time. basically because i will be glued to the United game. hopefully they shock the world. more on that tomorrow.
i do hope your Friday night has become a good Saturday. have a good stiff drink and only fuck the ones that cough. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your 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.
peace and chicken grease...

my patience was once again tested last night while driving home from Columbus. taking over 30 minutes to move 3 miles or so is not exactly what i wanted to be doing after a big meal at Waffle House. i joked with my mother and said that all this construction in the area will be done in one of our lifetimes. she said don't be so sure.
so, we got home about 45 minutes later than i was hoping to last night. i was able to catch the Foo Fighters show on HBO. it was excellent. but, i fell asleep before i could watch The Knick. so, i'm hoping to catch that sometime tonight.
Columbus beat Calgary last night 3-2. the first two periods were rather boring. Calgary found their legs in the third and made it really interesting. our next game up there will be on Halloween. that will be crazy as the Ohio Comic Con will be going on at the same time. parking will be a fucking disaster.
i still need to feed the cats before my lazy ass settles down for a day of sports. i spent the morning bouncing between work on the computer and watching Premier League games. plenty of red cards today, that's for sure.
Ohio State plays Rutgers this afternoon. hopefully i will be drinking a victory beer early this evening.
mom decided she wanted to go to the store by herself. i'm interested to see what she gets. she's not good at sticking to the list. i don't think her hearing aid is going to work for her. it was definitely sensory overload last night at the hockey game.
i believe Nine Inch Nails is on Austin City Limits tonight. so, i'll be watching that before ROH. that should be a fun two hours before i go to bed.
tomorrow is trash day, so i'll be up early getting all that work done before the football games start. so, expect a quickie from me early tomorrow morning.
i do hope everyone is having a great weekend. do check out the two previous posts from today. that's some work i'm really proud of. thanks again for allowing me to waste 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.

it takes a night like last night to remind me why i loved baseball as a child and why i love being a fan of the New York Yankees even more. there is no soul on earth who could have scripted last night and not be laughed at in every inner circle jerk in Hollywood. Derek Jeter's final home game will be remembered by every Yankee fan for the rest of their lives. the big hit in the first inning. the constant chants. the horrific blown save that set up one of the most dramatic moments in a meaningless game in baseball history. and yes, i was in tears by the end of it.
easily, the best win of the season. they play again tonight in Boston. i couldn't give a shit if Jeter plays or if they win. last night will be what everyone remembers.
needless to say, since god is obviously a Yankees fan

and there was no rain after every forecast on earth said there would be, i didn't watch any other sports last night. i was a little surprised with the blowout in the NFL. i didn't see that coming at all. thankfully, neither of my opponents this week had any New York Giants on their fantasy teams.
today has been a pretty long day for me. got my blood drawn at the doctor's office. i'll find out early next week if anything is going on with it. i also got a flu shot. i figured since i'm going to be around more people with having the hockey season tickets, i better be the responsible adult for once in my life. after all that, nothing quite like eating cheeseburgers before noon since you haven't eaten anything in over 12 hours. mom had another doctor's appointment to go to, so guess where i ended up going. at least the chairs in the waiting room were somewhat comfortable.
when we got home, the cats were giving me that WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN look. i laughed and took my time getting their food and water ready. after feeding them, i got some money together and went to the bank to make a deposit. always fun trying to get there while trying to avoid school bus routes. the lady that took my deposit did make me laugh. she wanted to let me know that i have qualified for a new Chase credit card. i bet i have. i haven't had a paying job in 12 years. sure, why wouldn't i get another credit card.
tonight will be a little baseball and then The Knick on Cinemax. i finally fucking remembered it. hopefully it is a great episode.
i'll most likely be on here tomorrow after the Manchester United game. i would say earlier but tomorrow is derby day in the Premier League and my ass will be glued to the television. of course, if i do what i did today and get up way before the sun does... fuck it, i'll be on here sometime tomorrow. not like anyone is waiting with baited breath...
a thank you to the nurse who took my blood today. it was obvious you were flirting with me, asking about my hair color. i figured i did good when i told her she didn't need any for hers when she complained about her grays coming in. i'm curious to see where the sex dream goes tonight. she did tie me off and put a needle in me, so i'm guessing there is going to be some pain involved.
that's all for me today. hope everyone has a great weekend. thanks for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

so i woke up in the middle of the night. i checked the clock and it said 4 AM. fuck that was the first thing i said. i went back to sleep and woke up again around 8 AM. i was hoping to see my mother out this morning, as she had to drive to Cincy for a meeting and hates to make that drive. (she called and made it fine and on time). i had a bill i had to pay so i figured after the post office, i would get some breakfast. and since this is my life, 20 minutes later i was on the toilet shitting out, what felt like, a month of food. enjoy that visual. needless to say, i've been a little cranky ever since.
i did watch Big Brother last night. was happy to see Devin leave. i laughed at how the producers made the dummies watching think there was a chance of it not happening. poor souls. now the fun can begin.
i also watched the new comedies on FX last night. Married was pretty good. had a few funny lines. also, Jenny Slate is in it, who i adore, mostly because she looks like a crush i had in high school. the other show, You're the Worst, was fucking awesome. perfectly written, crass, with enough sex to keep any pervert interested. i HIGHLY recommend it.
tonight, the baseball season starts back up. the Yankees are at home against the Reds. the two teams of my youth battling it out. hopefully, i'll find something better to watch.
mom casually mentioned last night that she's thinking of going on vacation the first week of August. what really surprised me is she wants me to go along. i don't think i have been on a vacation in almost 20 years. i'd love to just get in the car and start driving and wherever we end up is cool. but, i also know that is not how my mother operates. so i spent a good portion of today checking out festivals and whatnot for possible things to do that week. i'll keep all 2 or 3 of you that read this updated on what might happen that week. i do have a couple of cameras now, so i'll get some pictures.
i had to clean the bamboo floors today. that was long overdue.
looks like the rain clouds are moving in right now. great. that should make my back feel wonderful.
that's all for me. i do hope everyone has a great weekend. if anyone has any vacation ideas, feel free to send them to me.
be well. be creative. be the asshole that likes the rain and doesn't need an umbrella.
