it snowed overnight here. nothing too bad, but i'm guessing it is a precursor of what is to come this weekend. i wrote 3 poems last night. 1 for the book and 2 for what i guess i am calling the general submissions folder. if i can keep this going, i might actually meet my goal of having this book ready to send to the publisher by late spring/early summer.
team USA defeated Switzerland yesterday at the World Juniors, 7-2. they will play Czechia on Saturday, who knocked out Canada last night for the second year in a row.
the New York Rangers won last night at home over Boston, 2-1.
Notre Dame defeated Georgia, 23-10, to advance to the college football playoffs seminfinals.

i have a doctor's appointment this afternoon. after that, i need to go to the grocery store to pick up my prescription and get whatever is on the list.
i will most likely be on here tomorrow in the morning. the Dayton Flyers play on the road tomorrow at noon.
i know we're supposed to have a big winter storm coming through on Sunday night. if that does happen, i'm guessing the grocery store will be a fresh slice of hell today.
that's all for me today kids...
until tomorrow...

as much as it pains me to see how many fucking idiots in this country voted for an asshole who is racist and a fucking fascist, i'm very happy that he will be a one term president. now, i'm sure he will sue everyone under the sun and urge all the republican governors to do the unthinkable, which i highly doubt they want that suicide mission, and i doubt he has the stomach to actually concede and leave office gracefully... just like the impeachment, this loss will never go away and will be the right ending for a fucking loser like Donald Trump.
i think i'm more happy that a female will actually be Vice President and it breaks a ceiling that should have been broken ages ago.

so, i was up at 7 this morning to watch Manchester United play at Everton. when United went down 1-0, my first thought was here we go again. thankfully, Bruno had other plans. he had 2 goals and an assist today as United won 3-1. it's amazing, anytime Ole looks like he is going to lose his job, the boys turn out a great performance for him. thankfully, they will go into the international break with some good vibes.
there are a good number of college football games i will probably watch today. Georgia plays Florida. Notre Dame takes on Clemson. and of course, i will watch Ohio State vs. Rutgers tonight.
mom and i had to take a drive this morning to do a favor for my sister. that only took 20 minutes, thankfully.
i did get the water shut off finally to the leaking toilet. that took down mom's stress a great deal. we're penny pinching like the world is ending anymore these days. so, she was happy she wouldn't have to call a plumber and pay weekend prices. i don't blame her.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. the Saints play tomorrow night, so i have a nice big window to get the blog done tomorrow.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. our long national nightmare will be over soon...
until tomorrow kids...

i don't think i actually fell asleep last night until around 5 this morning. so, i'm pretty fucking tired today. i need to go take a shower before the two Monday night football games start. (Bills vs. Chiefs followed by Cardinals vs. Cowboys)

it's been some time since i was caught driving in one of these classic Midwestern holy shit storms. but, i was trying to get some shit done today and got caught in a storm that made me laugh. i could barely see anything it was raining so bad. of course, i kept driving. i figured i was on roads i knew like the back of my hand, so i'm good; just slow down. plus, i figured the rain would get all the salt and dirt off of the vehicle. of course, i wasn't planning on another downpour hitting as i was at the takeout window placing an order. that was fun.
i sent out 15 poems today. 6 each to ZYX and Beautiful Losers and 3 to Yellow Mama. when i hear back from these places i will pass on the verdicts.
after i left the post office, i was on a mission to find some cheap picture frames. i only found 2 of the 5 i needed, so i guess a trip to a craft store is coming up soon. mom wanted me to get some cash out of her account. thankfully her bank has an ATM in the next town over. that's way better than driving 20 miles out into the sticks to get the money.
the arthritis in these rain storms is almost a dull ache anymore. what that tells me is my pain tolerance is still top notch. of course, it's not fun when the arthritis is bad enough that typing and writing is a fucking chore.
i was really looking forward to the Dayton Flyers game last night. they were getting back their best player and was playing at a place they haven't won in the regular season since 2004; the perfect time for revenge. instead, Dayton went out and played like absolute shit. foul trouble, turnovers, stupid fucking decisions, more turnovers, did i mention turnovers? (Dayton had 19 turnovers in the game). that all lead to a 67-55 loss to UMass that never really felt that close. Dayton plays again on Saturday at Duquesne, so hopefully they get this bad taste out of their mouth quickly. the A10 is full of landmines this season, and Dayton just hit one last night.
the mid-season finale of Lucha Underground had a few holy shit moments last night. the show comes back in the summer.
NXT was excellent last night. i could watch The Revival wrestle #D.I.Y. all day long and never get bored.
Total Divas was fucking ridiculous as usual.

i guess my sister's job interview went well this morning. she's supposed to hear back by next week if she's got the job or not. i think she wants it as i don't think she wants to be unemployed too long. i believe her financial planner is thinking the same thing.
i know i have to go to the grocery store tomorrow as i have my own pills to pick up. plus, since there's a damn ice storm coming Friday night, it should be a shit show of panicky motherfuckers buying groceries like the world is coming to an end. i'll be in the liquor store, that's for sure.
it has rained here all day long. i have water standing in the front yard and squirrels eating birdseed they aren't supposed to like. these are the kind of days where i wish i could just curl up in bed and sleep for about a decade. sadly, that's not possible.
i did get some poems sent out today. i sent out 22 in total; 3 each to Napalm and Novocain, Dead Snakes, Pyrokinection and Mad Swirl. i sent 5 each to Over The Transom and Easy Street. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdict.
mom was at a meeting for most of the day and got a ride to the meeting with a friend so i had a vehicle. i got motivated enough to go to the bank to deposit a check. of course, the route i normally go to the bank was closed because of an accident. i should have known, since it was raining, there was going to be something fuck up along the way. i ended up behind a tanker truck that nearly wrecked in front of me. i would have loved to see how i would explain that one to mom.
after the bank i came home and had some lunch. i then got out the vacuum and did the whole house. i was hoping to have all this done before Manchester United played today.
i did my part, sadly, they didn't do theirs. i have no clue why LVG set up the team to just defend and possess today. it makes no fucking sense. of course, when i heard his comments yesterday that the fixture of Manchester United vs. Liverpool doesn't mean as much as it did back in the day, i should have known he was going to fuck this up somehow. even worse, he changes the formation at halftime, down 1-0, and puts Michael Carrick on in the center of a back 3. imagine that. so you know who had the main fuck up when Liverpool went up 2-0. fuck me. i have faith that they can somehow pull it out back home in the second leg of the Europa League, but i'm not going to hold my fucking breath. United next plays in the FA Cup against West Ham. i wouldn't be shocked if they're out of both by this time next week.
talk about a day going to complete shit.
The Voice was just a recap show and a little sneak peek into the battle rounds.
NXT was really good last night. the whole show was the 2 out of 3 falls match between Samoa Joe and Sami Zayn. top notch storytelling in that one.
Lucha Underground was fucking amazing once again. the main event was off the charts good. next week looks like it might even be better.

the Dayton Flyers will take on Richmond tomorrow at noon. i'm really hoping they can win this game and put themselves into the semi-finals of the A10 tournament. Richmond beat Fordham today 70-55.
i'll only get to see part of the game as i have to drive mom down to her physical therapy appointment. hopefully they will be winning so i won't be too stressed while listening in the car.
that's all for me today. i'm going to go get in my massage chair and see if i can get my back to relax a bit. arthritis has been whipping my ass all day long it seems. and not the kind of way i actually enjoy. enjoy that visual.

thank you for all of your help on those nights alone in my youth while the television was on mute.
and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i got up this morning and it was pouring outside. raining cats and dogs as they say. for a second, i thought it was going to get biblical. it's been like that nearly all day. it will pour for 45 minutes or so and then quit. and then start back up 20 minutes later and rain for 90 minutes. we have to be around a couple of inches so far. i've got done a decent job of keeping my adrenaline up for most of the day so i don't even think about how much pain i should be in. but if this shit keeps up, agony will hunt me down this evening.
i was up in time to watch team USA take on Sweden this morning in the World Juniors hockey tournament over in Finland. the boys had all the fucking chances in the world, but when you go 0 for 8 on the power play and can't get any of your 46 shots past the goalie, you're not going to win. the USA lost 1-0. they next play on Wednesday against Switzerland.
that was over in time for me to get my mind ready for Manchester United vs. Chelsea. United hit the post twice in the first half. they missed two glorious chances in the second half. they clearly played better today, but that's 8 fucking games in a row without a win. something has to change.
and just when i thought my day was going to be shit, the New York Yankees came to my rescue. i can't believe they traded for Aroldis Chapman from the Reds. that will give the Yankees one of the nastiest bullpens to ever grace the planet earth. and the best thing is they gave up next to nothing to get him. they kept all their top prospects. thank you for the belated Christmas gift Brian Cashman.

i got pretty much what i wanted out of the New Orleans Saints game yesterday. the Saints won 38-27. Blake Bortles threw 4 touchdowns, which helped me greatly in fantasy football. plus, i do believe it might end up being the last time Drew Brees plays as a Saint at home. so it was nice to see him go out and play like the old Drew Brees.
speaking of fantasy football, while nothing is official yet, i'm pretty damn sure i won both of my championship matches. that will end up being my 7th and 8th championships for fantasy football. i have a 27 point lead in my 5th place game going into tonight in my NFL.com league. my opponent has Denver's quarterback tonight.
the New York Rangers play tonight in Nashville. they are hopefully well rested and ready to go tonight.
i'm interested to see what happens on Monday Night Raw tonight as John Cena makes his return to the show. hopefully he gets his ass kicked again.
as you might imagine, my remote control will be getting a workout tonight flipping between hockey, wrestling and football.
i guess my uncle is back home now. they had to rush him to the hospital yesterday as he was not keeping anything down. they sent back to the nursing home last night once they got all that calmed down. it's all due to him not drinking enough fluids and since he doesn't do that, the side effects to the chemo is even greater. i think the nursing home released him just so they wouldn't have to deal with the family anymore. that being said, i won't be shocked if the phone rings sometime before 6 in the morning in the next few days with some bad news from next door.
i think i'm going to try to stretch out some and ice my back down. this rain just murders me anymore.
i hope everyone had a great weekend. hard to believe that 2015 is almost done.

do yourself a favor and pick of some of William's books today.
the New York Rangers beat the Devils last night 4-2 to win the President's Trophy, which signifies the best record in the NHL for the regular season. they have 2 more games to go and just need 2 points to have the most points in franchise history. here are some highlights from last night:
weather permitting, i will be watching NXT tonight while the DVR will have on The Voice and Lucha Underground. i am interested in seeing who gets voted off The Voice tonight. i'm not sure if there are any real breakout artists this season. but there is PLENTY of really good this season.
had a few laughs last night:
mom finally got her car back today. we brought some more shit over from the farm. the cats didn't look like they were very happy with me. those fuckers should understand they are lucky i feed them at all now.
that's all for me today. i think the Yankees are on, unless it is raining there as well. hopefully, wherever the fuck you are, you are dry. unless you are masturbating, then you'll probably like to be wet.

i think what i have figured out in the first 20 or so days of my 39th year on this planet is i'm going to try to live the rest of my life in sweatpants. at least that's the thought for these winter nights where it gets below zero.
i got to watch most of what i wanted to see last night. i took a couple of naps along the way and it somehow worked.
i didn't watch much of the NBA All-Star game at all. judging from the highlights, i made the right decision.
the Saturday Night Live 40th reunion was fucking amazing. i put a ton of the videos on my Google+ page, but here is a couple of the moments i LOVED:
i could probably post a few more. if you're interested, go to my Google+ page, go to YouTube, go anywhere on the internet and you'll find something. given the age i am and my love of comedy, Saturday Night Live has meant a ton to me. and since i have lived a life that has had many a Saturday night home alone, i always could use a good laugh. it was amazing to see all the people they brought back last night. certainly a show i will remember for a long time.
after that was over, i put my plan into action to watch as much as i could stay awake for. after the late local news, i started off with House of Lies. great episode that had a very interesting ending. Episodes was pretty funny. Total Divas was really good. it certainly shed some light on a few things i didn't know. Last Week Tonight was great. here's a clip from that:
then the old man in me tapped out. that wasn't the plan but i woke back up in time to watch Shameless. what a fucking great episode. the acting this season has been spectacular. after that, i caught Girls (good episode) and Togetherness (which had me openly questioning if i am at a point in my life where i am incapable of actually having fun anymore). what a lovely thought to have at 6 in the morning. so, the only thing i have to watch tonight that i missed on Sunday will be The Jinx.
so, for my usual clusterfuck Monday, i'll go from the New York Rangers game with the Islanders to Gotham. after that will be The Jinx and then i'll either flip back to some hockey (if the Rangers are winning) or over to Monday Night Raw.
before all that, i'll be watching Manchester United later today in FA Cup action. i'm expecting them to struggle today since that is how they have been playing here lately. there are some injury concerns so i have no clue who is going to play today. i'm hoping i will be enjoying a victory beer later tonight.
it's starting to snow here. we are supposed to get a few inches. i'm expecting more since these fucks are never right about the weather anymore. but, i better get out there and feed the cats before it gets too bad.
i hope everyone had a great weekend. if we get a ton of snow, i'll try to get some pictures. might be my last snowy day on the farm, who knows.
thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

i'm currently doing some laundry as this fucking cold weather has me wearing layer after layer when i'm outside. plus, i'm guessing the people i sit around at the basketball games would appreciate some clean clothes.
what a night last night. i was probably at the height of my intensity when Ohio State turned the ball over for the fourth fucking time. i believe you could hear me yell JESUS FUCKING CHRIST a few farms over. but, thanks to a defense that plays with a great fuck you swagger and a running back that picked the right 3 games to have his coming out party, Ohio State whipped Oregon last night, 42-20. as i kept telling my mother all throughout the game, all Ohio State has to do is keep punching Oregon in the mouth. they WILL fold like they always have against OSU. and sure enough, that's exactly what they did.
i really loved when all the Oregon fans complained about Ohio State scoring their last touchdown with 20 some seconds left in the game. and they wonder why they have never won a national championship. so, after watching a bit of the post game festivities, i decided it was time. here is a picture of me after the win:
and here i am after a few victory beers and a shave:
it feels really fucking weird not to have a long goatee anymore. my mother said she liked it. i told her to wait 9 months and see what she thinks then as i will not shave. i figure i have another 30 or so years on this planet. i might as well go out as a fucking freak show.
time will tell i guess. i really didn't give a shit about anything else last night. i caught bits and pieces of Monday Night Raw and Men in Blazers during commercials and timeouts. i was way too into the game to have my mind anywhere else.
and the best thing about Ohio State's win last night... they are favored to do it again next season. this team is really too young to know what they just did. the majority of great players on the team are only sophomores and freshmen. the future is really fucking bright. and they have the perfect coach to do it.
so, a big ass thank you to Ohio State for giving me an early birthday present.
now, as for tonight...
there might not be a team i hate more on earth (ok, there is at least two more that i hate more) than the New York Islanders. and the fact they are in front of the New York Rangers in the standings pisses me off. of course, the Rangers have played 3 fewer games. tonight, the two teams meet at Madison Square Garden. this is a HUGE game. a chance for the Rangers to close the gap and really prove that their recent great run isn't a fucking fluke. i will be glued to that game.
how i'm still awake is a fucking mystery. i might have got 3 hours of sleep last night. might is a big leap actually. i figure with the emotions of the hockey game tonight, hopefully a victory beer, etc., i will be in a coma by midnight. sadly, i tried sleeping in my bed last night and couldn't. my left arm is so bad i can't find a comfortable spot for it to fall asleep. so, i guess the bed is just for jerking off now. enjoy that visual.
i will be on here tomorrow in the afternoon as we have a basketball game to go to tomorrow night. i don't like that the Dayton Flyers are starting to get some good national press on their amazing winning streak. that's usually when the bad shit happens. oh well.
i hope everyone is doing good. if not, make yourself something stronger and pretend your wife is someone else for the evening. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.
