so my doctor's appointment went pretty good yesterday. my A1C hadn't really changed. my numbers in my bloodwork were all good, except for the one liver number. when i explained that i was diagnosed with non alcoholic fatty liver disease and i experience no pain from it, the doc seemed cool with it. i go back on St. Patrick's Day, 2022.
The Voice went as i expected last night. my final 3 were the final 3 for the show. Girl Named Tom won.
NXT was excellent last night.
I Can See Your Voice was a holiday episode of the show last night. it was good.
i did see Steph Curry set the 3 point record last night. here are your NBA highlights:
the New York Rangers lost in Colorado last night, 4-2. they play the Coyotes tonight on the road.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Young Rock, Kenan, AEW Dynamite, the season finale of The Masked Singer and Hard Knocks.
i'm waiting on my mother to get the grocery list done so i get the shopping done today.
i'm planning on getting a haircut sometime before Christmas.
i should be on here tomorrow in the morning, before my mother's doctor's appointment in the afternoon.
until then kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.
black lives matter.
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands.
stay socially distant.
get the fucking shot.

when i went out to get the paper this morning, it was just a light drizzle. now, it's one of those rains where you sit in disgust and think of ways to take your mind off the pain in your lower back. good times.
the season finale of VICE was really good last night.
NJPW was excellent last night. i still never tire of watching Chris Jericho wrestle.
both episodes of Room 104 were good last night. i really enjoyed season 2.
Mike Judge Presents: Tales From the Tour Bus was about Morris Day & The Time last night. oh man, that brought back some memories from my youth.
the New York Rangers were up 3-0 last night against Arizona. so, of course, they lost the game 4-3 in OT. and of course, it was former Ranger Derek Stepan that scored the winning goal. fuck me.
at least the high school i went to won in high school basketball last night. and yes, i had a drink to celebrate it.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live, ROH and Pete Holmes: Dirty Clean.
i'll probably watch a little of both NFL games today. the first is the Texans vs. Jets and the other is the Browns vs. Broncos.
i know mom needs to go out to Speedway for something today. so, i'll be putting the rain gear on here in a little bit.
tomorrow is going to be fucking crazy. i'll be on here before Manchester United takes on Liverpool. if i'm not, i have no damn clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. my day goes soccer to hockey to college basketball and then, right into wrestling. and on top of everything, my sister will be stopping by at some point. oh joy.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
when i woke up this morning, it was 2 degrees outside. it's not the cold that i hate, it's the people bitching about it, like they really are in agony over it. i worked outside for 7 years. i know what frostbite is like, i know what being so fucking cold your eyeballs are starting to freeze is like. being cold because you forgot to layer is not my problem.
i knew the foam insulation would have no chance of getting done today with how cold it is. the guy doing it called mom right before 9 AM and told her so. he did do the attic though, as that wasn't going to be foam. i guess next week is supposed to be warmer, so he's going to do the job then. i took everything off the walls last night inside the house. now, i have to do the same on the two walls of the garage he's going to do from the inside. great.
imagine being cranky and having to go to the grocery store to pick up $60 worth of prescriptions and trying to figure out which pad would be best for your mother since the one she asked for isn't on the shelf. no wonder i next went to the liquor store inside of the grocery store and got a bottle of whiskey and a bottle of spiced rum. merry fucking Christmas. i'm hoping i won't have to go back to the store for a few days at the very least now.
Lucha Underground was great last night.
NXT was pretty good last night.
Total Divas was pretty fucking funny last night.
WWE Tribute to the Troops was much better than i thought it was going to be last night.
i'm saving the Saturday Night Live Christmas special for sometime around Christmas.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Big Bang Theory, Life in Pieces and Impact Wrestling: Total Non-Stop Deletion. i'm only recording that since it's supposed to crazy as hell. plus, i haven't seen the Rock and Roll Express wrestle in probably 20 years.
i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade this afternoon. i will post the link below in the music section and i HIGHLY recommend you check it out.
i might do some writing tonight, either that or figure out where the next round of poems are going. i know i'd like to get another batch out before the end of the year.
the New York Rangers play at Dallas tonight. hopefully all the rest did The King well. he'll be back in goal tonight.
that's all for me kids. i hope everyone stays warm.

apparently, i took a big of enough shit this morning that i clogged up the toilet. all those years on the farm with power flush toilets, i never even thought of needing a plunger. so, imagine my surprise when my mom uses the toilet and then runs into my room and asks why isn't the fucking toilet flushing? i went to the garage because i thought i remembered there was two plungers in there when we moved in. eventually i found them and of course, they didn't work for shit. so, off to the hardware store. funny thing is, mom and i were at a different hardware store last night. so we ended up getting a couple of plungers and a better outdoor timer for the Christmas lights. that was what we went out last night for. mom was hungry so we went to Waffle House for lunch. i figured that would be the true test to see if the plunger actually works. after lunch, i went to work. we got a plunger that's almost like an air tube you use to pump up tires or a basketball. thankfully, i got the damn thing unclogged before my damn back gave out. good times.
The Voice last night was pretty good. i think Jordan should win tonight, though if there is an upset, it will be because of Emily Ann's performance last night. that was the best performance she has done all season. but, nothing compares to the performance Jordan gave last week.
honestly, if that performance doesn't win him the show, i'll be shocked yet again.
i did pull off a little miracle last night and won the fantasy football match that i had to win. so, for the first time EVER, i have made the playoffs in all 3 leagues. given how crazy my life has been the last month or so, i'm pretty fucking happy with this. now, i've already pissed away the chance to win a championship in all 3, but i will be happier than a pig in shit if i win the other 2 leagues. it won't be easy.
check out a food blog from my good friend, Cynthia Lewis. 2 Spoons Of Sugar you can also find some posts from the blog on the right hand side of this blog.
i did enjoy the Adele special last night. it's hard to believe she hasn't done much performing in the last 4 years. she sounds as amazing as she ever has.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i didn't care for the pacing of the show, but the main event made up for everything. excellent storytelling, great action, and a true "organic" kind of moment with a new champion. i'll give Roman Reigns credit, to get thousand of fans to cheer for you less than a year after those same fans booed the shit out of you is impressive. hopefully he takes the ball and runs with it.
tonight on the DVR will be The Voice finale.
the New York Rangers will try to end their losing streak tonight at home against Edmonton. the game will mark the NHL debut of Brady Skjei. he's the young defenseman that i have been longing for the club to call up. hopefully he plays well enough to stay. and hopefully the team gets a damn win tonight.
in between the hockey and The Voice, i'll probably be helping mom with some Christmas shit as well as getting the trash ready to take out.
my uncle isn't home yet. i think the family has finally figured out that the chemo is whipping his ass much more than anyone thought it would. and sadly, that includes the doctors as well. hopefully my uncle also understands that he needs to be completely honest with the doctors and tell them exactly what is going on. as i learned with my stepfather, pride will kill you before cancer will.
and on that uplifting note, i bid you adieu.
i hope everyone had a great day. hopefully your Christmas shopping is done. but not before you remembered to get me something (HINT, HINT).

and your whatever the fuck i want you to see video of the day:
i woke up this morning amazingly refreshed. perhaps i should do more drinking right before i go to bed. what could possibly go wrong in that scenario? i got my ass in gear and decided to get all my Christmas cards done today. so, be checking your mail boxes in a few days to see if you're a lucky one or not. my apologies to my friends and fans not in the USA, my poor ass has nothing for you this year. i'm hoping to make up for that next year. and if you think you should have gotten something from me, chances are i don't have your address or you have suddenly found out what i really think of you.
i got to the post office and i must have been the 7th or 8th person in line. god bless the guy behind the counter, he was going as fast as he could go. and, given that most of the customers were elderly, i'm surprised he still has patience left. he must love me. i know exactly how i want the shit shipped and i have cash in hand. amazingly, the last package i was waiting on for Christmas arrived today. so, now all i have is some wrapping of presents to do. i burned my sister's CD this morning, so i can actually take a breath and relax for a few moments. i think i'll do the wrapping later in the week.
i'm trailing in my fantasy football playoff game by 3 points. thankfully, i have a WR going tonight for Chicago. but, i'd love to see New Orleans actually win the game. so, if i can just get 4 points from the guy, i'll be thrilled. if that happens, i advance to the finals.
the Sunday night shows were awesome last night. The Newsroom was a reintroduction to the characters and why we as the audience care about them. it was an excellent series finale. Homeland was fucking crazy once again. i can't wait for the season finale next week. The Affair was amazing last night. the acting was top notch. and the ending was fucking perfect. that season finale next week should be great.
i was able to watch the last 5 minutes of the New York Rangers game last night after the shows ended. apparently, i didn't miss much. the Rangers won 2-0 over Edmonton. that shutout by King Henrik helped me win my fantasy hockey week 8-2. below are some highlights from the game:
tonight is my usual clusterfuck of a Monday. the season finale of The Voice starts tonight. i'm a little interested in seeing what songs they perform to try to win the show. at the same time, Monday Night Raw will be on. they are coming off a ppv that most people didn't like, so tonight should be real interesting. also, i'll be keeping an eye on the Monday Night Football game. i'd love to enjoy a late night victory beer, but i'm not getting my hopes up. later tonight i'm planning on watching the Men in Blazers show as i figure they will have some fun with the Manchester United win from over the weekend.
after all that, hopefully i'll get some sleep. i'll probably be on here tomorrow after my trip to the bank. got the first bill from my Christmas shopping today, so this deposit will be a timely one.
that's all for me today. i've got to go make dinner. frozen pizza. lovely. i do hope everyone had a great weekend. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.
