i think i got nearly 6 hours of sleep last night. not sure how that happened. i did write 5 poems last night. 4 for the book and 1 for the general pile. i also need to come up with a title for the book. if anyone has any suggestions, i'd love to hear them.
the New York Rangers won last night at Las Vegas, 2-1. i certainly didn't expect that victory.
i did watch a good portion of both NFL playoff games yesterday. i'm sure i will watch most of all 3 today.
Austin City Limits was excellent last night.
AEW was ok last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Agency and Dexter: Original Sin.
so, Manchester United and Arsenal are 1-1 in extra time of their FA Cup match today. United is down to 10 men, so i'm not looking forward to the rest of this.
i am looking forward to the NFL games today. Denver at Buffalo, Packers at Eagles and Washington at Tampa Bay.
at some point today, i will probably doing my laundry.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
until tomorrow kids...

13 happens to be my lucky number. and being a superstitious fuck, Friday the 13th has always been a day that i cherish. today was one of those days i suppose. a couple of poems published. more poems accepted for publication. and, i wrote 5 poems this morning while my mother was getting her hair done. add in a trip to the post office to mail back an autographed book to CRK and i have been quite the productive fucker.
thank you to everyone for checking out the published poems today:
i slept through most of the NFL game last night. the Rams won over the 49ers, 12-6.
Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage was good last night.
NJPW was really good last night.

so, i guess Anthem is fucking with me on my health insurance. they sent me a bill today for $613 for my insurance for the first month of 2025. the guy that helps me do this can't find anything as the marketplace believes i should have an income around $20,000 right now. well, i don't. so, he has to send my shit to Medicaid, which will get rejected because my mother makes too much on her social security. and once i get that rejection notice, then he should be able to get me insurance on the marketplace at a really good rate. and people wonder why people get so fucking frustrated with this shit that they do insane things. so, shit is really going to get tight around here in January. and i have absolutely no faith that i will get good insurance for next to nothing given what the government is going to look like soon.
so yeah, if there was anything to piss on my parade today, that was it.
i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow before the New York Rangers play in the afternoon.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.

the Yankees have been constantly testing my patience this season, especially with the bullpen. Clay Holmes blew another fucking save last night. i'm not sure why they insist on having a guy who doesn't strike everyone out as their closer. of course, it has been 15 years since they have won anything, so... they lost to Detroit last night, 3-2, in 10 innings. they are off tonight and start a series Tuesday at home against Cleveland.
the NASCAR race had to finish today because of the rain yesterday. sadly, neither driver i had money on to win did.

i might actually be able to turn the air conditioner off for a couple days this coming week.
i don't plan on watching any of the convention this week. i'll catch some highlights as i already know which way i am voting.
i got my orders in today from Topps and Death Wish Coffee. that made me happy.
i will hopefully write some poems tonight. i have a few ideas running in my head.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

The Voice was excellent last night. i really don't know who is going to win tonight.

i did take mom to the post office today. after that, she wanted to go to Dollar Tree to get some contact paper for the shelves in the pantry. she found some that almost looks like our new countertops. after that, i took her back home. i went to Rite Aid to get my prescription and then around the corner to the grocery store to get a few items from the grocery list.
at least i should have only one store to go to tomorrow.
i will probably be on here after i get the grocery shopping done tomorrow.
i need to go figure out dinner and get the trash picked up.

when the guy told me they pulled a nail out from the left rear tire of the Highlander that was probably two inches long, my mind started racing back trying to figure out where the fuck did i run over a nail. thankfully, i was only at the dealership for 40 minutes. they got the nail out, fixed the tire and it cost me a little over $20. definitely better than what i was fearing.
congrats to Las Vegas on winning the Stanley Cup. they destroyed Florida last night, whipping them 9-3.
the New York Yankees won last night at the Mets, 7-6. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow as i think mom has physical therapy tomorrow.

the New York Knicks lost last night at home to Charlotte, 112-105. that ended their winning streak. oh well.

i think i am going to make some bacon cheeseburgers for dinner tonight.
the bathroom is getting closer to being done. mom is also having the floor done in the other bathroom. the contractor said he should be done with everything by Tuesday.
i did watch a little of the Champions League today. of course, i took the sucker bet that i would make some money if Messi or Mbappe would score today. Bayern Munich beat PSG 2-0.

you ever have to shit while taking a shower? welcome to my morning. and lets just say, i didn't quite make it. so, of course, i was late to my appointment to get my blood drawn. but, only by 3 minutes. thankfully, everything went smooth while i was getting my blood drawn. after that was over, i went to the post office. i think the guy was happy i only had 3 packages he had to do the postage for. last year, it was 11. then i went back home and had breakfast.
this afternoon, i went to Lowe's to get some things that mom needed. plus, since it is supposed to snow tonight, i got some salt to put out. after that, i got gas since i noticed i was down to a 1/4 tank. considering i have to drive mom somewhere on Friday, i knew i better fill it up.
my back is killing me. arthritis isn't far behind. and i need to get the trash picked up and figure out dinner. so yeah, the blog is going to be rushed through today. good times.
The Voice was really good last night. i have no clue who is going to get cut tonight as they go from 8 to the Final 5.
Monday Night Raw was good last night.

i did listen to episode 372 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
the New York Rangers play tonight at Chicago. hopefully, they will find a way to win again tonight.
i should be on here sometime tomorrow. i'm not sure when the snow is really supposed to hit. so, i might do the blog first thing in the morning and then go do the grocery shopping. i know Manchester United plays tomorrow in the Champions League. and then the Dayton Flyers and New York Rangers both play tomorrow night. so yeah, the morning might be the only time i have to write the blog.
i know i need to get the trash picked up, so that's all for me kids.

for like the last three mornings, fog has appeared before the sun does. i didn't know i was suddenly living in a Stephen King novel.
so, i did go out shopping today. i bought some baseball cards at Big Lots since they didn't have anything i was actually looking for. i had a coupon, so i got 5 packs for a little over $16. amazingly, i got two numbered cards in those packs. with those two and the rookies i got, there is probably around $30 worth of cards in it. that made me happy. i resisted getting any baseball cards at Meijer as everything was way overpriced. i did find some cool Halloween towels for the kitchen there. i'm hoping the iced tea i got my mother is the right one. she never texted me back when i asked her, so i got it anyway and will just hope.
so, i guess Vice News Tonight is going to only be on Tuesdays and Wednesdays now, but the show is going to increase to a hour long each night. i'm just happy the show isn't going away completely. it is the only news show i watch.
so i completely forgot that the new season of Batwoman was starting last night. thankfully, i was able to find the episode this morning and watched it. holy shit, looks like it is going to be a crazy final season.
The Masked Singer last night was crazy, as usual.
Alter Ego was good last night.
American Horror Story: Double Feature was great last night. the season finale is next week.
when the USMNT got scored on early last night against Costa Rica, i wasn't happy. the fact that the youngest team the USA has ever put out in a World Cup qualifying game came back to win 2-1... that made me very happy.
the New York Rangers had their asses handed to them last night, losing to Washington, 5-1. i'm really hoping the boys play better tonight in the home opener against Dallas.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Young Sheldon, United States of Al, B Positive, Cake, Dark Side of the Ring and What We Do in the Shadows. i already watched NXT UK this afternoon. it was excellent.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm hoping to do a little writing tomorrow and probably my laundry. i get the feeling it is going to be rainy tomorrow, so i already know my body will be feeling miserable.
saw the Yankees started cleaning house when it comes to the coaching staff. hopefully, they don't forget to let the manager know he can leave as well.
i got to bed at a decent hour last night. i felt really refreshed when i woke up until i realized only 90 minutes had gone by. fuck me. so, from 2:30 or so until 7 this morning, i was just tossing and turning. good times.
Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Austin City Limits and ROH.
the New York Rangers play at Boston again this afternoon. hopefully it will be a better result this time.
the New York Yankees play the Pirates this afternoon.
i'm supposed to get two packages in the mail today. hopefully, the post office doesn't fuck that up.
i might have to go out today to get some things. the "list" is almost full already...
i will hopefully be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

Obi Toppin made it official today, declaring for the NBA Draft. any Dayton fan with a brain knew this day was coming. i can't wait to see who drafts him and hopefully he has an amazing NBA career. thanks for the memories Obi, you will go down as one of the greatest in the history of the school.
Dark Side of the Ring was really, really good last night. it was mostly about Chris Benoit and that fucking tragedy, but also talked about Eddie Guerrero as well. so many damn memories of those two in my brain forever. and it's really obvious that the main guy behind the close of the episode was Chris Jericho, easily one of the greatest of all-time. i urge everyone to watch both parts of the episode, it's worth your time. as is the after show, After Dark, hosted by Chris Gethard. all of them are available for free on the VICE YouTube channel.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Masked Singer, NXT and AEW.
i didn't sleep well last night, so for the second day in a row i've taken a 4 hour nap in the afternoon. i guess the shutdown will allow me to catch up on my sleep. joy.
i can't believe i've gone this many days without alcohol. no wonder why i'm irritable.

the ceremony to honor the seniors last night before the Dayton Flyers game against George Washington was good. the first half of the game was not. Dayton was only up by 1 at halftime and honestly, had played like shit for most of the first half. and for about the first five minutes or so of the second half, it continued. all i could think about was the College GameDay curse has struck again. San Diego State lost and now Dayton is pissing away a chance to be a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament. but, like this team has done so many times this year, they put together a run that was fucking amazing to watch. Dayton quickly turned a close game into a fucking blowout, defeating George Washington 76-51. good teams win, great teams cover. the team cut down the net after the game to celebrate going 18-0 in the A10. they won't have an easy road to win the conference tournament, but if they do so, they should get their highest seed EVER in the NCAA tournament. and i haven't even mentioned the fucking show Obi Toppin put on last night. i had a feeling, given that it was most likely his last game ever at UD Arena, he was going to make it a memorable one. 3 dunks in about 90 seconds in the second half did just that. dunked in a guy's face; gets a steal and does a 180 and then on the next possession, goes between his legs and dunks. the guys behind me, who must have been in their 20's, were losing their fucking minds. i'm so happy for this team. easily, the best Dayton team in my lifetime. i hope they go to Brooklyn and destroy everyone and keep this magical season going.
so when i got home, i found out the New York Rangers lost to the Devils, 6-4. i didn't bother to find the highlights.
The Shop was really good last night.
ROH was good last night.
Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Axios, Batwoman, the season finale of The Outsider, Avenue 5, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Last Week Tonight, Our Cartoon President, Homeland and the last two episodes of the season of Kidding.
here are your XFL highlights from yesterday.
i do plan on watching WWE Elimination Chamber tonight. i'm hoping it will be better than what i'm expecting.
Manchester United plays at home today against Manchester City. i would love if the boys pulled off the double today.
the Dayton women's team plays VCU today in the A10 final. i'd love to see Dayton get that automatic bid to the women's NCAA tournament.
i might be on here tomorrow before i have to go get an ultrasound done. or, i might be on here afterwards. i can't have anything to eat or drink after midnight tonight and my appointment is at 2:30 in the afternoon. oh joy.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday is even better.
so, i decided to play the good son last night and do the dishes. mom usually does them, mostly because she wants to feel useful i believe, but i did them last night. it took me about 60 minutes to do them. the joys of a bad back. i told her if we ever fucking move again, the house will either have a dishwasher or someone that comes with the house that will do them.
i had to take mom to get an x-ray today. i brought along my little notebook to write, just in case it took a long time. i wrote 1 poem today. we were in and out of the place in like 25 minutes or so. after that, she wanted to go to Burger King. she wanted a slushie and then she decided she wanted to try the Impossible Whopper. i asked her how it was when she was done eating it at home. she said it tasted like hype. she's spent most of the rest of the day on the toilet. good times.
it started to rain just as i went to the grocery store today. and of course, it rained the whole fucking time. apparently, my mother has way too low sodium levels at the moment. it's funny, since my levels are too high. so, i had to get her stuff today to get those levels back up. i took full advantage of the deals this week and got the groceries for under $90.
so the Astros beat the Rays last night, 6-1. the ALCS between the Astros and Yankees will start Saturday night in Houston.
Young Sheldon was pretty good last night.
The Unicorn was very funny last night.
Perfect Harmony was hilarious last night.
Mr Inbetween was very good last night.
NXT UK was pretty good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be the finale of Murder in the Bayou, Smackdown, Room 104 and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i did get a shave and shower in before i took mom out today. i love how my pinched nerve goes nuts right as i start to shampoo my hair. joy.
i'm going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow. the New York Rangers play Edmonton at noon tomorrow i think. so it looks like my Saturday is going to be filled with college football, hockey and baseball.
the USMNT takes on Cuba tonight. i'd love to see them actually play well for a change and maybe win. what a concept.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. i'm off to go ice a shitty back down and watch television the rest of the evening.
until tomorrow boys and girls...
