Monday Night Raw was very good last night.
part 1 of the Leonardo da Vinci documentary on PBS was good. part 2 is tonight.
The Voice was good last night. tonight starts the playoffs.
What We Do in the Shadows was hilarious last night.
the USMNT defeated Jamaica last night, 4-2, to win on aggregate 5-2. that means they will be in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Nations League and qualify for the Gold Cup.

i have been running my finger over a scar on my left middle finger. i have moments where i can remember every fucking scar on my body and just by touching them, recall exactly how i got them. usually involves knives or drunken follies. not sure what put me in this mindset this morning, now afternoon. i suppose getting hardly any sleep again would be the most likely explanation. joy.
Ohio State destroyed Minnesota yesterday, 37-3. next up is that team up north.
i did watch a few college football games yesterday:
the New York Rangers won at the Devils last night, 5-3.
i did catch some of the Formula 1 race last night as well.

Austin City Limits was excellent last night.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

i have a hard time turning off my brain these days. i suppose i won't get a deep sleep until death knocks on the damn door. i was sitting at the computer checking my email at 3 in the morning wondering why the fuck i wasn't exhausted yet. 4 hours of sleep later, rinse and fucking repeat. joy.
Monday Night Raw was good last night. i can't wait for Survivor Series this weekend.
The Voice was really good last night. i have no clue which 2 are going to get eliminated tonight.
Desus & Mero was hilarious last night. the season finale is on Thursday.

we've had over an inch of rain between last night and today. i guess it's a good thing i got the leaves down to the curb when i did. there's no fucking way i would even try to do it now. mom gets into these moods around the holidays where she wants everything looking nice and clean. it makes me laugh, because the rest of the days, she couldn't give a shit.
thankfully, i got the leaves done before the New Orleans Saints game started yesterday. the Saints absolutely destroyed the Eagles, 48-7. they play Atlanta at home on Thanksgiving night. the last time the Saints were on a run like this was the year they won the Super Bowl. i sure as hell would love to take that ride again.
WWE Survivor Series last night was interesting. the matches i wanted to be good were excellent. the match between Buddy Murphy and Mustafa Ali was great. and Charlotte beating the shit out of Ronda Rousey was really good. the rest of the card, sadly, was blah at best. and honestly, it should never be like that.
the season finale of Last Week Tonight was hilarious, as always.
Camping was pretty funny last night.
Axios was really good last night.
Ray Donovan was excellent last night.
Enemies: The President, Justice & the FBI was good last night. it was all about Watergate. it is kind of funny that it's beyond obvious that the asshole that runs the country is more or less using the Nixon playbook. hopefully, they end up the same way. the next episode is about Iran-Contra.
Escape at Dannemora was very good last night. this will be a show that will win some awards, i can tell that from the first episode.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The Voice. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Dallas. hopefully, their good play at home will continue. i'd love to see them get a win tonight.
i might watch some of the NFL game tonight. the Rams vs. Chiefs should be a good one.
i went to the bank today to make a deposit. it was gloomy as fuck today.
i did do a little poetry work today. i know where my next 6 poems are going. i'm hoping that will happen before Thanksgiving.
i do have a PayPal account now. so, if you want to just give me money, that would be nice.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.

we got 1.2 inches of rain last night. it felt much worse than that because of the wind. there was times where i felt like something was surely going to blow off the house when the wind was really howling. those are the nights where i don't miss living on the farm.
Manchester United won yesterday over Newcastle, 4-1. Pogba is back. Zlatan is back. and imagine that, so are the goals. they next play on Wednesday in the Champions League.
Ohio State whipped Illinois yesterday, 52-14. honestly, it never felt that close. the win gives them the East division and a game against Wisconsin for the Big 10 championship. but first is the game next week at that school up north.
NXT Takeover: War Games was amazing last night. the War Games match itself was nuts. the women's title match was so damn good. i was a little surprised that the title changed hands on the men's side, but given Drew's injury, it makes sense. the match between Velveteen Dream and Aleister Black was holy shit great. all in all, a really good show and once again it put the main roster behind the 8 ball tonight for Survivor Series.
Night of Too Many Stars was a bit of a clusterfuck last night. at times it was really funny and at times it simply did not work at all. plus, the show ran long, so i think i missed the last 20 minutes or so.
ROH was supposed to record last night but for some fucking reason i ended up recording a damn infomercial. so, i have it set to record later today and maybe i'll get around to watching it tonight or Monday.
Austin City Limits last night was highlights from the 2017 Americana Music Awards.
Saturday Night Live was great last night. i wasn't sure what to expect with Chance the Rapper hosting but he was excellent. probably one of the better shows of the season so far.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Curb Your Enthusiasm, Shameless and SMILF. i'll be watching WWE Survivor Series for most of the evening.
the New Orleans Saints play at home today against Washington. hopefully the Saints can keep the winning streak going.
the Dayton Flyers play in the 5th place game today down in Charleston against Old Dominion. i'd really like to see Dayton win and come back home with a winning record in the tournament.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Ottawa. i doubt i will watch anything more than the highlights from this one.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday will be even better.

this has been 12 hours or so of sports beating the shit out of me. so, lets go in chronological order.
the New York Rangers decided to be cute last night, instead of using the kiss theory that works so damn well on the road. so of course, they lost 4-2 to Columbus. they play again on Sunday night at home against Florida.
i didn't sleep well at all last night, between the Rangers loss and the fucking cold front that dropped the temperature down into the 20's this morning. i got up in time to watch Manchester United take on Arsenal.
when Juan Mata scored to put Manchester United up, i was very happy. when Arsenal tied the game in the 89th minute, i was fucking pissed. a 1-1 draw in a game that United needed to win, honestly it fucking feels like a loss.
next up, was Ohio State. i didn't get to see any of the game, though i listened to some of it on the way to the basketball game. i guess the game was ugly, but Ohio State defeated Michigan State 17-16. next up is that team up north.
when i pulled up for the basketball game today, i was so happy to see the students lined up halfway around the building waiting to get in while it was snowing. yes, i said snow. the fans were pumped, but sadly, the Dayton Flyers came out flat for most of the first half against #17 Saint Mary's. i would find out after the game why. Dayton was down by as much as 20 points in the second half, but they fought back with a chaotic second half charge. they got so damn close, but in the end, they lost 61-57. i'm not pissed that they had a player panic in the end when they could have had a chance to win. i'm more pissed at the fucking officials who missed the guy taking the ball out of bounds shuffling his feet before he passed the ball in. that's a turnover and Dayton should have had the ball with 13 seconds left and down by 2. i was happy when mom told me the guys on television were pointing it out as well. i found out on the way home that Josh Cunningham, Dayton's starting center that got hurt at Alabama, had surgery yesterday on a torn ligament in his ankle and will most likely miss the rest of the season. so now, Dayton will be playing minus two starting big men until Kendall Pollard comes back. and since he's not supposed to play in the upcoming tournament in Anaheim over Thanksgiving, this team is going to have to learn how to play another style yet again. it's basically Scoochie and Charles Cooke and say a fucking prayer.
NJPW was really good last night.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of reporting.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live, Austin City Limits and ROH.
i'll be watching NXT Takeover:Toronto for most of the evening.
i hope everyone is having a better Saturday than i am having. time for me to go have a stiff drink and watch some wrestling.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i knew i was trapped in the middle of the winter blues when i nearly blew a gasket when i found the morning paper was wet. i have a very short fuse at times, and a wet newspaper is amazingly high on that list. but, a little nap, a little porn, and some music usually does the trick. not that i suddenly become happy, just more back to my mellow self. of course, that will change as soon as the hockey game starts tonight.
no dead cats today, at least from what i saw, so i don't think it got as cold last night. of course, it's supposed to get down to the single digits again tonight i think. the problem i have when it is cold out is the days just start to bleed together. the life cycle becomes just a repeat of days, of hours, of moments before. the more i think about it, the more i truly believe i'm not going to miss living out here. even if i do end up with shitty neighbors.
i did watch a good amount of college basketball last night. that Kentucky team is fucking scary. if they actually learn how to play together as a team, i'm not sure who can beat them.
i had no problem with the two that got voted off The Voice last night. they did nothing for me. now, the problem is only a few of the ten that are left are "good" to my ears. i do like the twist where they are bringing back everyone voted off from the top 12 for one more performance and one of them will become the fourth finalist. that could be interesting.
tonight is a bit of a clusterfuck for me on television. the New York Rangers play at home against Philadelphia tonight. at the same time, Lucha Underground is on. the way the Rangers are playing here lately, i might go with wrestling. then, tonight at 10 is American Horror Story. that should be a good way to finish off my night.
just found out that Jimmy Ruffin has died. he did one of my favorite songs ever...
the Dayton Flyers play tomorrow morning down in Puerto Rico. i'll most likely be on here sometime after that game with Texas A&M.
that's all for me today. hope this finds you warm, thinking of my face somewhere between your thighs. no, not you Janne. i'm speaking to the one or two women that may stumble upon this and actually make it to the end.

thankfully, this latest holy shit storm went more to the south than the jackasses on tv thought it would, so we only got like 3 inches of snow. now, it did get cold again, as the windchill this morning was around -15. that's always fun. honestly, i've been dealing with the winter for so damn long now, i'm oblivious to it. shit, i expect it now.
i did watch the last 30 minutes or so of The Oscars last night. i'm really happy i did as it inspired 3 poems i wrote in like 10 minutes. i typed those up this afternoon and they are oh so good. at least i think so. i'll be sending those out soon.
seeing that the New York Rangers disappointed the living shit out of me last night (6-3 loss to Boston), i decided to stop watching the game and just flip on HBO. True Detective was fucking brilliant once again. i have no clue how they are going to tie up all the loose ends in next week's finale. if you aren't watching this show, you truly are missing out. Girls made me laugh really hard as i truly enjoy the topic of death and how uncomfortable it makes others.
as for television tonight, it is my usual Monday war between The Voice and Monday Night Raw. Raw is in Chicago tonight, the home of CM Punk. the fans are plotting a riot if Punk, who left the company last month, doesn't show up. i'd love to see him back but, i'd also love to see the crowd go berserk. whatever happens, it should be great train wreck tv. as for The Voice, i see me catching up on that on YouTube at 4 in the morning or so.
i was happy to see some spring training baseball on this afternoon. that gave me what i needed to nap for a few hours. good times.
hopefully, nothing i melted today on the sidewalks will refreeze come morning. i got a check in the mail today, so there is a trip to the bank coming up soon. also, got my new credit card from Capital One. i'll finally be getting some cash back on my purchases. not that i buy anything more than music, books, gas, and booze.
i took another step into the digital world last night and got on iTunes. i figured i might as well put the gift card i got to use. of course, i haven't used it yet. baby steps.
that is all for me today. i hope everyone is well, warm, pissed off and ready to do something about it. or curious why you still waste your time each day to read this horseshit i call writing.
be well my enemies...

had a holy shit moment this afternoon. my eyes aren't as bad as i expected. i don't have to get new glasses, so that saves some money. thought for sure i was going to get fucked on that deal.
after the eye appointment, mom and i went to the sports bar and caught the last few minutes of afternoon soccer. i didn't get to see the USA lose to Austria (1-0) but i did see Portugal and France qualify for the World Cup.
i did see bits and pieces of The Voice last night but not enough to really have an opinion. i think there are 3 or 4 that can win it and the rest of them are on the same level. i have no clue who is going to get eliminated tonight.
Monday Night Raw held my attention for most of the evening. the main event was spectacular. and i nearly shit my pants when CM Punk and Rey Mysterio shook hands at the end of the evening. hell froze over for sure at that moment. they had one of the best feuds in the last decade. real, personal shit. quite the show to go into the Survivor Series PPV.
the New York Rangers play tonight. Rick Nash comes back tonight from his latest concussion. hopefully he can stay healthy for the rest of the season. my fantasy hockey team would certainly like that. i would love for the Rangers to win tonight as they play Boston.
other than that, i believe i will be checking out some PBS later this evening.
and i did get a good amount of sleep last night. so, i will probably be up late tonight. if the energy is still there, maybe i'll get some writing done. i am pretty pleased that the 2 latest poems i have had accepted/published are brand new.
i'm listening to Kevin Steen on the Wrestling with Depression podcast at the moment. laughing my ass off.
hope this finds everyone well. until tomorrow, when the plumber supposedly makes his return 5 weeks after he was supposed to. good times.
