now, i'm cynical enough to believe that through witness tampering and judicial intimidation, Trump will probably get this overturned or vacated or some other legal bullshit, but to hear a guilty verdict on all 34 counts made me actually believe, at least for a second, that this is how the whole system is supposed to work. that no one is above the law, blah blah blah. of course, the chaos agents want him to be elected president in November just so the system blows the fuck up. that is the last fucking thing i want to see happen as these dumb fucks don't understand what democracy actually is and if they truly think there is a system better, try your luck in Russia or Hungary or anyplace in this world with a dictator running shit.
so, the guy from Orkin was here today. they did a full inspection of the house and figured out that we have a fucking family of squirrels living in the attic. now, their fix for this is to remove all the insulation, disinfect everything, replace the insulation and close up all the places the fucking flying rats have been getting in. they also are going to put a shield over our gutters as part of that. and for shits and giggles, we're going to protect for termites just in fucking case. so, basically, this will cost the money set aside for a new vehicle. so, i guess the 2002 Toyota Highlander will have to survive another decade or so. good times. not exactly how i wanted to spend an afternoon while it snows on and off today. fuck me.
i did watch the NCAA selection show yesterday. Dayton was one of the last four teams called. fuck me. they are a #7 seed in the West. they will play #10 seed Nevada on Thursday in Salt Lake City, Utah. now, the ironic thing is this is the same city Dayton started their run to the elite eight 40 years ago. i would love to see a repeat of that, but i'm not holding my breath.
The Regime last night was hilarious.
Curb Your Enthusiasm was fucking great last night.
Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from the dealership. the Highlander needs the oil changed and hopefully, nothing else.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.

so, mom's appointment at the heart doctor went well yesterday. her blood pressure was really good. i was pleased with the doctor, since he took it while she was sitting down as well as standing up. she doesn't have to go back to see him for 9 months.
after the appointment and mom's trip to McDonald's for her frozen coke, we went home. i turned on the Yankees game, hoping for the best. when the Yankees went up 3-1, i was really hoping they would win. of course, Aaron Boone's insistence on using the wrong pitchers at the wrong time made damn sure they wouldn't hold the lead. right after they scored the 3 runs to take the lead, they gave up 3 runs in the bottom of the inning and lost, 4-3. i know one thing for sure, i don't want to see the Mariners in the playoffs. the Yankees are off tonight and start a series tomorrow in Boston.
AEW Dynamite was excellent last night.
Big Brother was good last night. Daniel will be evicted tonight.
the MLS All Star game was good last night. the MLS defeated Liga MX 2-1.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, NJPW and the finale of The Captain. i'll watch NXT UK sometime this afternoon on Peacock.
team USA plays Switzerland tonight at the World Juniors. that should be a good game.
i have to take mom to the eye doctor today. our old eye doctor retired, so i'll be interested to see who the new guy is.
i need to go to Rite Aid to get my prescription. i'll do that before i take her to the eye doctor.
i might send the poems out today. if i do, that will happen when i get back home late this afternoon.
i'm not really sure when i will be on here tomorrow.
at least it feels like the humidity has finally broke here.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck war.

having never been a Catholic or much of a Christian to be honest, i have never given two shits about Ash Wednesday. i believe i once called it in a poem target practice for future serial killers. i know someone out there is ashamed they just laughed.
all of the shopping today went better than i expected. i got everything that was left on the grocery list at Kroger. i mainly focused on getting suet for the birds at Menards. i did get a few other things, mostly to take advantage of the 11% rebate going on. all in all, i think i spent less than $200 today, which is a minor fucking miracle anymore.
NXT was really good last night.
the Dayton Flyers won last night at Richmond, 55-53. RJ Blakney had the game winning dunk. that victory means Dayton will get the double bye in the A10 tournament.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, the season (probably series) finale of Batwoman, I Can See Your Voice and Snowfall.
the New York Rangers play at home tonight against St. Louis. hopefully, the boys will get a win tonight.
i will be probably be on here in the afternoon tomorrow.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
the rain that started overnight and was still going this morning, was kicking my ass. i don't sleep well anymore when it is raining. as i tell my mom, we might need to move to the land of bent spoons. she is clueless that that is a heroin reference. thankfully, the rain eventually ended and we got a little sun today.
i went to the bank to deposit my check. of course, the lobby was closed for some fucking reason. so, there's 20 minutes of my life in the drive thru lane i will never get back. after that, i went to Big Lots to see if i could find some better storage for my cards. i did find that and 2 packs of 2019 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions. there was a couple good cards in the two packs i got. i went to Dollar Tree next door to see what they had. i found a Batman and Joker figurines that i didn't have. that was only $2. and then i had to go pick up mom's pills at Kroger.
so, the Manchester United game against Liverpool got postponed yesterday. i have no clue when or even if the game will be rescheduled. sadly, i doubt any of the protests will force the Glazers to sell the team. this is when i wish someone with an ungodly amount of fuck you money made them an offer they couldn't refuse for the team. but, that isn't going to happen.
the Yankees defeated the Tigers yesterday, 2-0, to complete the sweep. they are off tonight and start a series against the Astros tomorrow.
Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.
The Nevers was pretty good last night.
Mare of Easttown was fucking great last night.
City on a Hill was excellent last night.
Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Monday Night Raw, The Voice and Miz & Mrs.
i did listen to episode 341 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can listen to that by going here:
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Washington. hopefully, they play the kids tonight. i'm not expecting the Rangers to win again this season, so i think it's more important to get the kids ready for next season.
i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
until tomorrow kids...

fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i am currently running on about 4 hours of sleep. i know this is a recipe for me to be dead before i am 50. you would think that matters to me. you'd be wrong.
i wrote 4 poems today while mom was doing her physical therapy. those 4 finished out a little notebook. i typed those up when we got home and i really like them.
after physical therapy, we went to Meijer. they were running a special sale on spices and my sister basically threw most of ours out because they had expired. so, we basically had to restock shit today. mom also got my sister something for Christmas.
after that, we went to the drugstore to put in the order for mom's new walker. by this time, it was almost 4 in the afternoon. we were in Meijer much longer than i wanted to be.
mom decided she wanted to eat at O'Charley's. since this was my late lunch and her early dinner, i said fuck it and got some good food. the bill was like $50 after the tip. thank god i didn't have to pay for that.
the New Orleans Saints won yesterday over Tampa 34-17. i was very pleased with that victory.
Watchmen was fucking great last night.
Silicon Valley was hilarious last night.
Mrs. Fletcher was good last night.
Last Week Tonight was fucking brilliant as usual. that was the last show of 2019. i can't wait for it to come back next year.
Dublin Murders was good last night.
Ray Donovan was very good last night.
Shameless was fucking hilarious last night.
Batwoman was good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and Desus & Mero. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
i wanted to write this blog in the morning, but of course, between arthritis, apathy and just pure fucking pain, i didn't get out of bed until 10. that left really no time since i had to get ready to take mom to her doctor's appointment. that appointment is about a 45 minute drive. joy. and of course, between the tornado damage and construction, everything around here is a clusterfuck. thankfully, i took the right back roads and got her down there on time.
i don't think she met any doctors today, more like a nurse practitioner. this one was like a dream woman, tattoos everywhere and stunning, i mean fucking stunning eyes. i was hoping she was going to pick up on the vibe i was putting out. of course, that never happened. the appointment went really well. after that, mom wanted to go to lunch at Rusty Bucket. they were a little crowded, but not too bad. the food was excellent as always. the drive home was a bit of a drag, mostly because of fucking horrible drivers and the heat. of course, now i feel it is raining again.
i got home in time to watch the rest of the Yankees game and some of the Women's World Cup.
the Yankees won last night over the Rays, 6-3. this afternoon, they completed the sweep, defeating Tampa Bay 12-1. that victory was CC's 250th of his career. it also means the Yankees are 3 1/2 games up in the division now. they start a series with Houston tomorrow night.
the USMNT won last night, 4-0 over Guyana. when it was only 1-0 at halftime, i was not happy. i was a little more pleased by the end of the game.
Smackdown was pretty good last night, as was 205 Live.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night.
Songland was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The Wrestlers. i'll watch NXT and NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.
here are your scores from the Women's World Cup:
England defeated Japan 2-0 and Scotland vs. Argentina finished 3-3.
in the Gold Cup last night, Panama defeated Trinidad & Tobago 2-0. tonight, Cuba takes on Martinique and Canada plays Mexico.
i love when a random conversation with a stranger turns into realizing it's suddenly 4 in the morning and you should be asleep. i'm trying to guard against my usual habit of falling way too quick with these things, but i did pick up some really awesome vibes from this one. so, fingers are crossed.
Manchester United won 2-0 yesterday over Newcastle. i love the fact that they finally kept a clean sheet. and, they keep on winning.
i didn't watch much of the New York Rangers game last night. i kept track of the score and they never gave me a reason to turn back. the Rangers lost to the Penguins, 7-2. oh well.
i did watch all of the USA vs. Czech Republic game last night at the World Juniors. team USA won 3-1. they will now face Russia on Friday in the semifinals. winner will play for a gold medal. the other semifinal will be between the two upset winners yesterday, Finland and Switzerland. to think that Canada and Sweden are already out of this is crazy. but, that also opens up the road for the USA to bring home a gold.
The Masked Singer last night was fucking crazy. mom got Antonio Brown right from the start. this is going to be one of those shows where i can simply turn my brain off and enjoy.
NXT was a recap of how amazing 2018 was.
both episodes of NXT UK were really good yesterday.
205 Live was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon and Gotham.
the trip to the bank was a good one. the one woman that works there that has showed up in some poems was working today. that was another stroke of good fortune for me.
mom wanted me to go to get money from the ATM of her bank, a good 20 minutes or so from my bank. so, my afternoon was spent driving. i picked up some lunch for us on the way home. she's been pretty dizzy today. i don't know if it's the weather or stress or what. i've told to just lounge in the chair or the bed and just calm it down. hopefully that works. i need to make sure she writes all this down as well so the doctors know what's going on.
the plan for tomorrow is to get this blog done in the morning. i then need to get the grocery shopping done before the USA plays Russia at 4 in the afternoon. i want to have a clear head for that one.
hope everyone is doing good. until tomorrow boys and girls.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i got a line stuck in my head last night that i thought could make an amazing poem. so there i was, 3:30 in the morning, pounding out some lines and not exactly drunk, but certainly with a good buzz. i typed the 2 page poem up this morning. it's really good. i'm hoping it won't be my last poem of 2018. but, if it is, it's a good way to finish off a crazy fucking year.
so i sent an email out last night at like 2 in the morning to my last former best friend. i'm really hoping it brings some fucking closure to all of this. i have 2 goals in 2019. write a fucking poem that finally gets me nominated for the Pushcart Prize. next, i want to eliminate all the toxic shit in my life; relationships, fear, anxiety, all of it.
i figure i can accomplish this by being as productive as possible. i'd like to think i started that in 2018, but i want to take it so many steps past what i have done this year... this is normally where i would wax poetic by saying god willing or some other bullshit. my goal is to push as much urgency as possible into my body so it bleeds out of me.
the Dayton Flyers won yesterday, 81-69. considering they were up by 28 at halftime, i wasn't exactly pleased with the final score. at some point this season, this team has to realize when you have your boot on another team's neck, you apply pressure, you don't let up. thankfully, it finally sounded like the coach was annoyed with it in the post game press conference. finally.
i got home and watched my recording of the Manchester United game. oh, what a breath of fresh fucking air. United won yesterday 5-1. that's the first time they have scored 5 goals in the Premier League since Sir Alex left. now, i know they won't play like that every game, but it was so fucking nice to see they know that kind of game still exists in their DNA.
i did watch a good portion of the NFL game last night between the Ravens and Chargers. i don't think anyone will want to play Baltimore in the playoffs this year.
i also watched some boxing last night and most of the New York Rangers game. the Rangers lost in Toronto 5-3. i think the game showed the talent gap between both teams. oh well. the Rangers play tonight at home against Philadelphia.
ROH was a recap of the best matches of 2018 last night. next week will be a recap of the women's matches. it was a fun hour of television.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Ray Donovan and Escape at Dannemora.
the New Orleans Saints play today at home against the Steelers. i'm really hoping the Saints win today as that will clinch just about everything in the NFC for them.
i'm guessing my sister will be here tonight. she spent last night at her friend's house.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully, your Sunday will be even better.
