so, i had wanted to get this blog done before Manchester United played this morning. in hindsight, i really wish i would have. unfortunately, i woke up a little later than i wanted and decided, let me actually enjoy breakfast instead of rushing through it. United pissed away chance after chance in the first half. thanks to a shitty penalty call in the second half, they lost to West Ham, 2-1. hard to blame this one on ETH, but i'm sure some will. not the way i wanted to start my Sunday.
the Yankees lost Game 2 last night of the World Series, 4-2, to the Dodgers. they are now down 2-0 in the series. the next 3 games are at Yankee Stadium. if the Yankees don't win Game 3, it will be more than likely a sweep.
Ohio State played like shit yesterday yet managed to beat Nebraska, 21-17. they play at Penn State next week.
the New York Rangers won last night at home over Anaheim, 2-1.
i did watch some college football yesterday:
AEW Collision was ok last night.
Austin City Limits was excellent last night.
El Clasico yesterday was nuts. Barcelona destroyed Real Madrid, 4-0, in Madrid.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Penguin, Somebody Somewhere and Last Week Tonight.
i will be watching NXT Halloween Havoc tonight on Peacock.
the New Orleans Saints play today at the Chargers.
the USWNT takes on Iceland today in another friendly.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
best of luck to everyone gambling today.
i should be on here tomorrow before Game 3 of the World Series.
until then kids...

fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck war.
fuck the police.

wash your fucking hands.
stay off the fucking streets.
get the fucking shot.

i do plan on going to Menards after mom's physical therapy appointment.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:
so, i got a box of football cards at Rite Aid today and two packs of baseball cards at Meijer that were exclusive to Meijer. to be honest, i got those because they were the only cards at Meijer that weren't overpriced. so, all in all, i paid around $17 for those 3 things. in the football box, i got a hit. in the Colorado pack of college cards, there was a card with part of a jersey in it. that card is going for around $25 on ebay. in the baseball packs, i found a Corey Seager rookie card. that is worth around $20 or so. so, i was pretty pleased after going through all those cards today.
the grocery stores today were tiring as fuck. my back was killing me, fuck, still is to be honest. prices have gone up on just about everything now. but, i got everything on the list, so we should be fully stocked for a bit now.
The Voice was good last night.
NXT had their Halloween Havoc event last night. it was really good. plenty of title changes.

it got down to 33 degrees here last night. i turned on the furnace. didn't want to, but i did.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
until then...

my arthritis has been raging so damn much these last few days, i feel like i'm swimming in a heroin withdrawal. joy.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.
Big Brother was good last night. i know Cody won part 2 of the HOH. so, part 3 on the season finale on Wednesday will be Cody vs. Nicole. i imagine whoever wins that will win the season.
Fringe Nation was all about the KKK last night. talk about some ignorant motherfuckers that should be wiped off the face of the earth.
The Voice was really good last night.
We Are Who We Are was excellent last night. the season finale is next week.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The Voice.
i did listen to episode 314 of Notsam Wrestling this afternoon. you can find that by going here:
i imagine i might watch some of the World Series tonight, if i get bored or need to fall asleep early.
i have been pleasantly thrilled with the Dayton Flyers the last few days. to get two 4 star recruits to commit in 3 days is something the program has NEVER done. i love that Archie Miller left because he could never win those recruiting battles and now Anthony Grant has won two in a row over some really huge schools.
much as i figured, i was in an ache yesterday all day long. the rain finally moved out early this morning, replaced by the wind that sounded like a fucking train. good times.
Ohio State started off slow yesterday against Wisconsin. thankfully, they got their shit together and absolutely destroyed the Badgers, 38-7. Chase Young had an amazing day on defense and J.K. Dobbins showed the rest of the country who the best running back in the Big Ten really is. Ohio State is off next week.
i did watch a few other games yesterday. Oklahoma was the biggest upset of the day, losing at Kansas State.
Saturday Night Live was really good last night, at least what i got to see. our local NBC station was off the air for about 20 minutes or so.
Austin City Limits was excellent last night.
NJPW was really good last night.
ROH was good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Axios, Power, Batwoman, The Affair, Watchmen, Silicon Valley, Mrs. Fletcher and Last Week Tonight.
Manchester United plays at Norwich today. hopefully, United will find a way to win.
the New Orleans Saints play today at home against Arizona. Drew Brees is going to play today for the first time since week 2. hopefully, he stays healthy and the Saints can keep winning.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Boston. i'd love to see the Rangers actually win two games in a row.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully, your Sunday will be even better.
until tomorrow kids...

i woke up this morning from the threat of yet another cramp in my left leg. i told my mother i think maybe it's my inner child fucking with me, waking me up to go piss. joy.
i did send out 10 poems today. 5 each to The Hitchlit Review and Jotters United Lit Zine. i have never sent to either before, so i'm interested to see what the responses will be. when i get the verdicts back, i will pass them on.
i had to go back to the grocery store today. i had more pills to pick up, plus some items i forgot to get for mom yesterday. i told her i completely forgot because i didn't write them down on the list. thankfully, the rain wasn't as bad this morning as it was yesterday.
when i got home from the grocery store, the muse was calling me. for some reason, she likes to call me when she is driving. it's fucking hilarious at times, as she will provide a running commentary of all the fucking stupid drivers out there.
NJPW was pretty good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.
Pod Save America was really good last night.

i figure the rest of my day is going to be spent doing my laundry and probably watching some college football.
i will probably be on here tomorrow in the morning. tomorrow is one of those crazy ass days i have sometimes when just about everything is going on around the same time. joy.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

the New York Rangers won last night 5-2 over Arizona. it was nice to see them roll 4 lines again. hopefully AV keeps that and doesn't tinker and fuck it up. they next play in Montreal on Saturday night.
Gotham was fucking great last night.
Will & Grace was hilarious last night.
Better Things was really good last night.

i'll be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the morning.
if it does happen to snow, i'll try to get some pictures.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. if you are doing any Halloween shit this weekend, enjoy the booze, scare the shit out of someone and avoid being arrested.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i think i woke up every 2 hours or so last night. i knew it was raining and i was having some weird ass dreams. ex-lovers trying to kill me with the bones of animals, movie stars complimenting me on my poetry, a woman cornering me in the grocery store to show me a birthmark of my beard on her ass... you know, shit like that. today has been one of those days where i'm just swimming in the void, hoping to either hit shore or just fucking drown already.
the New York Rangers got scored on 10 seconds into the game last night. it was 2-0 by the end of the first period. i was not a happy man. 5 consecutive goals later, i was feeling much better. the Rangers beat the Bruins last night, 5-2. it's odd to actually see a power play that works. i don't think i've seen that on a Rangers team in over a decade.
i did catch the last few minutes of the Sacramento Kings defeating Phoenix 113-94 last night. i guess they actually played some defense last night. that's what has been missing for years. the home opener is tonight against the Spurs. if they somehow win that one and i might drink myself blind.
Vice News Tonight was excellent last night.
Lip Sync Battle was fucking hilarious last night.
American Horror Story was great last night. that was the bloodiest episode i can ever remember in the history of the show.
You're The Worst was awesome last night. it's the second time this season they have devoted an entire episode to minor characters. i wish more shows took those chances.
Any Given Wednesday was really good last night.
Total Bellas was kind of depressing last night. i sort of know the kind of shit Daniel Bryan is going through. depression is not an easy thing to handle, especially when you're being filmed at the same time.
NXT was really good last night. i can't wait to see Mickie James take on Asuka. and the second round of the Dusty Rhodes tag team classic looks to be very interesting.
Lucha Underground was very good last night as well.
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 Better Things.
i decided to be a little productive today, so i actually took a shower and am currently doing my laundry. good times.
there has been a steady drizzle all day long here. strong enough that my arthritis is at the fuck the world stage. this is the kind of day that i expect i will one day overdose on heroin. the liquor doesn't help nor does the constant badgering of fuckers on Google+ trying to scam me out of money. one of these days i'll slip off into the void and just get off the internet for good. i suppose i should wait for everything to be paid off first.
my uncle is now back home. he came home today. he had another biopsy done yesterday. they can't tell if the cancer is malignant but the dumb fucks told him yesterday to treat it like it was stage 4 cancer. when my mother told me that i said i hope he quickly asked where the fuck my morphine drip is. if it is supposedly stage 4, he might as well get the good shit. it's painful to know that the doctors in this town are simply grasping at straws, hoping they have the right answer without really giving a shit if they do or not. this is the kind of medical system you get when you let the insurance companies run things. i watched it with my stepfather and sadly, it hasn't changed that much since 2002.
i won all 3 of my fantasy football matchups. i believe i was the underdog in all 3 of them. i also got the Monday Night Football game correct. i went 11-3 on picks, which is easily my best showing this season.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. they had to send the shit in a different direction for the next ppv and i think they accomplished their goal.
The Voice was really good last night. three of the performances i thought were excellent:
i am simply amazed at how young some of these performers actually are. it completely reminds me just how bad my singing voice really is.
Gotham was pretty close to perfect last night. yet another fantastic ending that will keep me coming back for more.
let's enjoy some more music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Muppets and The Voice. the World Series starts tonight but thankfully, so does the NBA season. not that i'm going to watch much of either with hockey going on.
i need to get going. i have trash to pick up which should be really fucking fun with my back. plus, i might actually start looking at some poems and decide what i'm sending where in the next few days.
i will be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays. hopefully they will do better than Chelsea is doing currently.
i got a wild hair up my ass for some music today. so the 3 songs you will see below all came from iTunes.
that's all for me. hopefully it will be a less rainy, miserable fucking day tomorrow.

i'm in a pissy mood at the moment. i've got a weird level of pain running through my body at the moment and my nap was a tad bizarre. i'm not sure if it was due to falling asleep to British soccer announcers or that it is the anniversary of Lou Reed's death. ah, the questions of the universe... here's a quick recap of my Sunday.
Manchester United played Chelsea pretty fucking even in the first half. then, Chelsea took control of the game in the second half. when they were up 1-0 as the game was nearing death, i figured this was going to be another game of close, but not quite there just yet. and then...
i could watch that look on the special one's face for the rest of my life. RvP with the goal at the death and United gets a point from Chelsea, 1-1. hopefully the boys use this to fuel the rest of the season.
i did ok in fantasy football yesterday. tonight is a big game. my suicide pick for this week was Dallas. i need them to win and for certain players to put up some decent numbers. my picks didn't do so well this week. mostly because i decided to pick against a certain team to "help" them win.
the New Orleans Saints (that certain team) beat Green Bay last night 44-23. that's more like it.
the Sunday night shows were good. Boardwalk Empire was great. it felt like the series finale was a reward for those of us that watched the entire show. and the final scene was certainly awesome. definitely catch it if you missed it. Total Divas was what it was. i'm interested to see how the show is when it adds two new cast members in January. Last Week Tonight was good. Homeland was good as well. The Affair was a little short for my liking, but certainly had a great ending.
tonight, the clusterfuck gets a little easier. all i have tonight is the knockout rounds on The Voice starting, Monday Night Raw, the New York Rangers playing at home against the Wild, Gotham, and Monday Night Football. CBS has moved The Big Bang Theory back to Monday nights. i'm sure i'll still be on YouTube late tonight to see what i missed.
the weather was windy as hell today. that means we will have storms tomorrow. at least that's what my bones are telling me.
hope everyone had a great weekend. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your time.

so, after i got done with this blog last night, i grabbed a beer and started to watch the New York Rangers. they fell behind of course, but for a change, they actually came back. fell behind again, but, holy shit, came back again. and then the game went into overtime. below are the highlights:
and in the true sense of the sun shining on a dog's ass, all 3 guys that scored for the Rangers scored their first goals of the season last night. long overdue would be an understatement. i'll be enjoying that beer later today.
all the while that epic early season win was going on, Ohio State was taking Penn St. behind the woodshed and ripping them to shreds. 63-14. i laughed the entire time as the kids from Penn St. looked like they just got out of the shower with Sandusky. i love a coach who doesn't mind beating a team, rubbing their faces in it, stomping a mud hole in them and walking it dry. 20 straight wins for Ohio St. now. life is good.
and at least for one glorious day, my sporting life was fucking fabulous.
Saturday Night Live last night was pretty good. nothing really stood out as fucking hilarious or horrible. i do think the douche commercial was pretty damn funny. if i find it on YouTube i'll post it on here.
ROH last night was excellent. the match between Davey Richards and Rickey Marvin was excellent. and the storytelling between Eddie Edwards and Kevin Steen was off the charts. and i do like how the Mike Bennett interference in the beginning of the match sets up the next week of television. always good to see that kind of continuity in television that's taped a few weeks in advance.
so, i'm a little behind on my Sunday as the adrenaline didn't go away until 3 or 4 in the morning. i have a ton of dishes to do (i've been a bit lazy the last few days), trash to pick up, cats to feed, and injured fantasy players to check on in the next 90 minutes or so. reminds me of my favorite saying from my mother in my youth...
busier than nine cats covering up shit in a windstorm.
that's the joy of having parents that came from briars.
tonight will be the usual Sunday night fare. Boardwalk Empire, Eastbound and Down, Homeland, Masters of Sex with a little Sunday night football as well.
hope everyone has a great day. i'm going to somehow try to sneak in some hockey today as my fantasy team pissed away a nice lead last night. hopefully i get some goals scored today. or my opponents' goalie shits the bed. if not, i see a 5-5 week. not what i wanted considering i'm playing the top team in the division.
enough of my babbling. adios.

i was a little shocked last night when the Yankees scored 3 runs in the 9th to beat the Dodgers 3-0. i didn't expect that at all. and as much as i would like to think that could be the start of something, 99% of me knows this season is a lost cause. but i did enjoy the victory beer.
let me peel back the onion a bit and show you what my day has been like. i did the dishes this morning with my back only hurting a little. i have a hard time standing for more than 15 minutes at a time. took my first shit in 48 hours. then, as i was washing my hands and watching the water pressure get weaker, i knew the water filter must be full again. we've been on this month long shit now of having to change the damn filter every 10 days. i then take a shower and get ready to go into to town to mail a book out and get the mail. i stop at the end of the lane, walk across the street and there's no paper. mom later tells me it was there this morning, so i guess some fucker stole the newspaper. i then have my lunch of celery and peanut butter, not because i'm trying to be healthy, but more because i'm too fucking lazy to get some more bread at the store.
hope you enjoyed that...
The Bridge last night was excellent. i really enjoyed the twist at the end that i didn't see coming but really opens up a ton of possibilities now on who the killer is. absolutely the best show on television right now.
tonight i'll be watching Big Brother and Wilfred. i believe i know which person is going home tonight on Big Brother, just not sure if it's the black person the racist HOH wants to leave. i'd love to see it be a tie and she then has to vote out someone.
Wilfred should be the usual hilariousness that i love. i have to hand it to FX. they really have built quite the stable of great shows.
i did catch bits and pieces of the MLS All-Star game last night. from what i saw i don't believe i missed much at all.
no Yankees tonight so i'll probably catch some highlights on the MLB Network as the night goes along. and if i really get desperate, i'll watch some pro wrestling from TNA that i hardly ever watch.
as a bright spot today, i did download some great music on NoiseTrade for FREE. if you are a fan of Lucero, The Black Crowes, Alabama Shakes, Kings of Leon, etc. i urge you to get this music. it's only up for 2 weeks. you can find it by going here: http://noisetrade.com/thedirtyguvnahs/somewhere-beneath-these-southern
that's all for today. i'm hoping to mow some grass tomorrow, so i doubt i will blog anything until much later in the day. or, after the Yankees game in San Diego, which means it would be early Saturday morning most likely. until then...
