finally, a win in Europe...

 i was hoping for the best today as Manchester United was playing on the road in the Europa League. they haven't won on the road in Europe since March of 2023. the first half was boring as fuck. then, United's keeper made a horrible pass and that of course ended up in the back of the net. thankfully, United made some subs and that made the difference. Rasmus Hojlund scored 2 goals after he got into the game. United tried to piss it away, but thankfully, United won 2-1. that gets them closer to making it to the knockout stages of the Europa League.

AEW Dynamite last night was very good.

The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.

Inside the NFL was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage and NJPW.

i might watch some of the NFL game tonight between the Rams and 49ers.

the New York Rangers won last night at Buffalo, 3-2.

mom has a hair appointment tomorrow at 11 AM. considering she doesn't like getting out of bed until around 3 in the afternoon... tomorrow is going to be a chore.

i should be on here in the afternoon tomorrow.

i need to get going on dinner, so that's all for me.

until tomorrow kids...

 i was out getting things from Kroger today when Manchester United was playing Bayern Munich at home in the Champions League. i dreaded what could happen today and sure enough, it did. United needed to win today and hope that the other game in the group would end up a draw. well, United lost 1-0 and Copenhagen won 1-0. all that means is United finished last in the group and won't advance in the Champions League and won't qualify for the Europa League either. if ETH wants to somehow keep his job as manager, i'm guessing he will have to somehow win at Liverpool on the weekend. if the second part of this doomsday scenario takes place, i'm guessing United will have a new manager by Christmas.

Monday Night Raw was very good last night.

The Voice was great last night. i have no damn clue who is going home tonight.

the calm before the storm...

 the weather is going to get fucking crazy here in a few hours. the rain is going to turn to snow, heavy at times, the wind is going to become ferocious and the temperatures are going to drop like crazy. like from 41 to a feels like -30. good times.

at least mom's new chair got here this morning. she got duped a bit as she thought the $40 she was paying extra was for them to take the old chair. actually, it was $40 for them to move it out of the room and put it somewhere else. i opened the garage door and told them to put it in there. i know damn well the store never made it clear that was what the fee was actually for. so, i imagine this might be the last time we use Med Mart for awhile. 

AEW Dynamite was really good last night.

Hard Knocks was pretty good last night.

Homeward Bound: A Grammy Salute To The Songs of Paul Simon was excellent last night.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

i will probably watch some of the Jets vs. Jaguars NFL game tonight. mom is a Jets fan.

i need to get going on dinner tonight. i'm going to try to make the home equivalent of the Arby's Beef and Cheddar. this is going to be interesting to say the least.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm hoping we actually have power tomorrow. mom has a guy lined up to do the driveway and sidewalks if we get a ton of snow. i'm hoping it isn't too bad, but i know if we get any snow and have those crazy ass winds, it is going to be a fucking mess.

 so, today has been a bunch of hurry up and wait. i made it to the post office this morning. it can get pretty busy in the mornings, especially around the holidays. at least they had both registers going. that made it a bit faster. but, all the Christmas cards are now out there. if you are a lucky one, you should have some mail in the next few days. after that, i went to Rite Aid to get my prescription. thankfully, there was no line there. now, for mom's dental appointment, that was an adventure. we had to go to this office building we had never been to before. thankfully, i usually insist on being early to everything. we got there with a good 15 minutes to spare. we found the office and mom had paperwork to fill out. she didn't do it online as she has been sick for so long. so, she got that filled out and then we waited. they called her back 30 minutes after her appointment time to take her x-ray and meet with the dentist. i wish i would have thought to bring pen and paper with me. i sat out in the waiting room hoping the Yankees were going to announce a signing today. still waiting on that one. mom got finished and i drove her home as i still had to eat lunch. nothing like a late lunch around 5. joy.

the New York Knicks won yesterday at home against Sacramento, 112-99. 

here are your NBA highlights from yesterday:

the season finale of The White Lotus was amazing last night.

the season finale of Let The Right One In was shocking last night.

George & Tammy was very good last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw and part 1 of the season finale of The Voice.

i should be on here tomorrow after Argentina takes on Croatia in the World Cup semifinals.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i'm still waiting on one package to show up to have all of mom's Christmas gifts here. Amazon keeps telling me it will be here before Christmas. considering i ordered it in November and it still hasn't shipped yet isn't giving me much confidence.

that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow.

i did take mom out last night to see some Christmas lights. she was happy.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

i did see the highlights of Obi Toppin's first game last night. 

i guess i'm doing laundry today and i will sent out some poems today.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live, ROH and The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart.

Manchester United plays Manchester City today. i'd love for United to find a way to win this one, but i'm not holding my breath.

later in the afternoon, (the game time got changed last night) Dayton will be playing Mississippi St. down in Atlanta. i'd love to see Dayton find a way to win this one, but i don't see that happening either.

the MLS Cup final is tonight. Seattle plays at Columbus. the Crew will be missing two of their better players, so it's going to take a minor miracle for them to win their second championship tonight.

i'll be sending out 8 poems this afternoon between loads of laundry.

i'm hoping the orders from Amazon.com show up today. that would be nice.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

what a day or why i should hate people more...

so after about 4 hours of sleep, i got up this morning and started getting ready to go have my blood work done. i got to the place, went up to the 3rd floor and was second in line. 15 minutes later, i was taken to the back. the woman taking my blood told me i have the same birthday as her father. i was thinking she must be in her early 20's at best, given that i'm 43. the first place she tried on my right arm, she didn't get anything. and then she couldn't find a vein in my left arm. she had someone else come in and 30 seconds later, i was having blood fly out of my arm into a vial. i had two vials of blood taken this morning. by the time i got back home, it was nearly noon. oh great, time for breakfast. usually when i eat that late, i spend the rest of the day on the toilet. thankfully, today was the exception. all went well other than mom turning off the coffee pot this morning. i hate warming coffee up in the microwave.

we went out shopping this afternoon. mom said to pick out a Christmas tree and it would be mine. so, like i usually do, i found something cheap. $10. as i told my mother, if it lasts for more than two uses, it's a win. we found a bunch of shit for my sister, which she should really like. after that, mom wanted to get her haircut. so, we went to the place we always go to. i got my mop cut off. it feels so much better now. mom left a pretty nice tip, so they should be happy.

when i got home, i hopped in the shower and realized i hadn't eaten lunch yet. nothing like having a snack bar for diabetics for lunch at 5 PM. joy.

The Masked Singer was really good last night. i got both of my guesses correct.

NXT was excellent last night.

AEW was really good last night as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Young Sheldon, The Unicorn and Perfect Harmony. i will watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i didn't get to watch any of the Manchester United game today. i guess they scored 4 second half goals to win 4-0. that victory wins them their group in the Europa League. that also means they don't have to face a team dropping down from the Champions League when the knockout stage starts.

the New York Rangers play tonight at San Jose. hopefully, the Rangers can get a victory.

i know mom will be watching some of the Ravens vs. Jets game tonight. i can't imagine it being a close game.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get back from the grocery store.

thank god the weekend is getting closer.

i will never try to figure out how my mind works...

i took my mother to have her MRI done today. we were there way longer than she was expecting, which basically meant i had dinner around 5 tonight. while she was having her MRI done, i wrote 10 poems. when i told that when she got out, she was a little amazed. she asked me how it was possible? i laughed and said i don't want to know. i told her my brain swims in innuendo. that makes it a little easier to see something, twist, adjust and then write away. i'll type those poems up sometime tonight, probably late.

i didn't watch anything of Manchester United's Champions League game today other than the highlights. considering that if United won today, they could have won the group, i hoped they would have come out with a little urgency. silly me. United lost to Valencia 2-1. oh well. they will advance out of the group stage. i doubt they will go far in the knockout rounds.

the 4 that advanced last night on The Voice were exactly the 4 i was expecting to. now, it went a little different than i was thinking, but i am happy that Kirk, Chris, Chevel and Kennedy will be in the finals.

Smackdown was fucking great last night. after watching that, i am pumped to see TLC this weekend, mostly because of the women's TLC match between Charlotte, Asuka and "The Man" Becky Lynch. it should be the last match of the event and it will blow everything else away, guaranteed.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. i'll watch 205 Live, NXT and NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

my sister went a little nuts and has been sending all these packages to the house of gifts she has got for mom. so, i went and ordered mom a couple CDs that i think she will like. i want her to listen to more music, just so she can take her mind off of everything for at least a few hours each day.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i'm hoping it will be sometime in the afternoon where i can go on and on about some great player the New York Yankees have signed or traded for, but who the fuck knows.

hope everyone is well and the weather is decent where you are.

i guess it's really winter now

i woke up this morning to a fresh coating of ice and snow. it was fucking cold walking out to get the paper while still in my shorts. i guess it really is winter now.

the New York Rangers got outplayed last night by Dallas by a damn mile. somehow, the Rangers backup goalie kept them in the game and the team managed to score late to send the game into OT. there was no score in OT and eventually Dallas won in the shootout. the 2-1 loss may end up being the point that helps them make the playoffs at the end of the season. even if the most positive Rangers fan knows they didn't deserve it.

Monday Night Raw was really good last night. i'm hoping that Cesaro opened Vince's eyes last night at just how good he could be if they would give him a push.

Happening: A Clean Energy Revolution was pretty good last night. it really showed just how much politics will fuck up anything.

The Voice was excellent last night. i think i know at least two of the people that will be in the finals. i have no damn clue who gets the last two spots.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Voice and Drop the Mic. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i might try to do the blog in the morning tomorrow as i have to drive mom down to her financial planner in the afternoon. and then i think she wants to do some shopping south of town. so, that probably means i won't be home until well after dark.

as for now, i have to get the fucking trash picked up. i might as well get layered up. the fucking wind is biting today.

the winter blues

cloudy day after cloudy day after cloudy fucking day, welcome to winter. at least the rain this morning didn't freeze. i got mom to the hospital on time and she was out in under a hour. hopefully, this round of shots work even better.

the New York Rangers whipped New Jersey last night 5-0. it was a game that seemed like every break possible went for the Rangers. i'm old enough to know to enjoy the fuck out of those games. the Rangers play Chicago at home tomorrow night.

the New Orleans Saints had another shitty game on offense yesterday. they lost to Tampa Bay 16-11. it was a god awful game to watch. Drew Brees threw another 3 interceptions. i can't help but think if Michael Thomas would have played, they could have won. oh well.

the season finale of Divorce was very interesting last night. in hindsight, i guess i'm happy my sister and i were as old as we were when our parents got divorced. i could see my father pulling some custody shit like what happened in the show last night.

Shameless was great last night. i can't wait for that season finale next week.

The Affair was awesome last night. easily, one of the best shows on television.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and night 1 of the finale of The Voice. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

after i got mom home from the hospital this morning, i went to the grocery store. when i saw the scroll on the side of the refrigerator this morning, i figured i should go on the day where there isn't going to be any snow. i had to get gas as well. so, i got everything for under $160. that's not bad. i did see a couple of women in the store that nearly made me stop dead in my tracks. hopefully a few poems will be popping up later this evening.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. if not, a bottle is cheaper than therapy.

it shouldn't be 60 degrees at 9 in the morning on December 12th

i think i tossed and turned all night long. it was very warm, and that was without the furnace on. and to think some fucks don't believe in global warming. like 60's in December is some new norm that we should embrace. it's damp enough that my arthritis is loading a gun and seeking a way out. if that is the new norm i'm supposed to get used to, i won't be around much longer. agony, while it is a productive writing tool, it's a shitty way to live a life.

i figured i would get this out of the way today as i am in a pretty shitty mood. and the last thing i want to do is inflict everyone else with that. i believe educated people call that maturing.

the New York Rangers played a game straight out of 1984 last night, losing to Edmonton 7-5. the Rangers came back to tie the game 3 different times only to piss away chance after chance. plus, what the fuck has happened to the best defense in the league? fuck me. they play tonight in Calgary. i will get to see the last couple periods after the basketball game. hopefully it will be a better outcome.

the ceremony for Glen Sather last night was good. it did bring back some memories.

Undateable was fucking hilarious last night. i really wish the show was 60 minutes each week. NJPW was excellent last night. you can never go wrong watching Shinsuke Nakamura wrestle. and The Knick was great. the ending was certainly one of those holy shit endings.

i did listen to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast last night. what an excellent interview with Finn Balor.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live and ROH.

Manchester United plays at Bournemouth today. considering United has 9 players out at the moment, i will be stunned if they get anything out of this game.

the Dayton Flyers play at home tonight against Chattanooga. i found this morning that Chattanooga will be without their best player tonight. hopefully that doesn't mean Dayton will think it will be an easy game. i am certainly looking forward to going to the game tonight.

the grocery store was rather interesting last night, mostly because of the black woman with kaleidoscope pants that walked in before us. mom made mention of her pants but all i could think about was an ass that i could probably get my entire head in. i imagine there will be poems about that as well.

the scar tissue in mt left foot is killing me today. so, i need to get in my chair and get a quick nap before the Manchester United game.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. if it's crazy fucking mild where you are, get out and enjoy it. if it actually feels like December where you are, i envy you. 13 days before Christmas and it feels like early May here. fucking ridiculous.

finding out the hard way that spicy means way too fucking hot for me...

i had a nice talk with the muse last night. i'm really happy that she's doing well out on the west coast. hopefully she'll realize one day that she should be with me, but i won't hold that against her.

i got up this morning and was feeling pretty good. of course, i should have realized that was nothing more than fool's gold. shortly after i started eating breakfast, i got the shits. i tell ya, my body was wonderful timing. not like i didn't have basically a full day in public planned today or anything. thankfully, a couple of pills later and i felt much better.

i drove mom down to the place where we donate clothes. thankfully, a parking spot opened up right as i pulled up. we got rid of a ton of clothes today. hopefully they go to some needy people. after that, we drove a few miles to the used music store where i go to sell off my CDs. i must have picked the right ones as i made $50 today. much better than the last few times in there. that just about covers what i spent on Christmas. thank god for the $100 in gift cards that i used as well.

after that we drove to a steakhouse to get some lunch. mom had a gift card to use. of course, that machine wasn't working. i decided to try the spicy chicken as my appetizer. after a few bites, i thought this isn't that bad. after a few more, i believe my asshole started to pucker. being the stubborn male, i finished all of it. my lips were on fucking fire. thankfully, the steak burger cooled that down greatly. overall though, the food was great. of course, when i wake up in the morning with the shits again, i'll probably be singing a different tune.

then, it was time for the grocery store. i truly felt like the dirty old man tonight at the store. all these teenage girls in with their mothers and all i could think about was what i wouldn't give to be 15 again and know what i know now. i imagine i'll have a few creepy poems to write here soon.

tv was pretty good last night. i did laugh at The Big Bang Theory. the writing and timing of that show is top notch. i picked the football game wrong last night but my defense got me 16 points. that gets my fantasy football playoff game off to a great start.

i have no damn clue what i'm going to watch tonight. i imagine if i get bored flipping through the channels, i'll end up doing the dishes and taking my shower tonight. i think the electrician is supposed to be here in the morning, so it's probably best i take it tonight.

i have a long crazy Saturday in front of me. Dayton plays on the road, i'm taking my friend Paul to his first NHL game, and the Rangers are playing late night up in Canada. more on that craziness tomorrow morning.

i hope everyone has a great weekend in store. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

the colder it gets...

so i woke up to a balmy 1 degree temp this morning. thankfully, the power was still on so it was a nice 70 degrees inside. i joked to my mother these are the mornings where we get to see just how much the cats really want to live. i was surprised when i saw all but one of them. and the missing one is one of the older ones that just does her own thing all the time.

got my ass in gear and got all the Christmas cards and gifts done and mailed out today. it was glorious at the post office. walked in with 20 things that needed postage and just watched 6 people come in behind me and get pissed off. i LOVED it. now these fucks know how i feel when i've got poems to mail out and i'm stuck behind the ebay queens. fuckers.

so, you special ones, check your mailboxes here in the next few days. and if you don't get something from me but want something, email me your mailing address and you may be a lucky winner next year.

i did watch Duck Dynasty last night. i did get some good laughs but mostly, it allowed me to turn my mind off.

American Horror Story was excellent last night. the last 10 minutes blew my mind. so many fucking layers to everything at that moment. sadly, no new episodes until the new year.

tonight will be a mix between the New York Rangers, The Big Bang Theory, and the NFL game tonight between Denver and San Diego. tonight starts the fantasy football playoffs off for me, so you can imagine what i'll be paying the most attention to. though, the Rangers did call up the defenseman i was pleading they call up and he'll make his debut tonight. should be interesting as it will be the first time many of the Columbus players make their return to MSG after being traded.

that's all for me. hope this finds everyone well.

take it easy and if it's easy, take it again.

should i really care anymore

i suppose i should be in a foul mood, given the Yankees lost and are now down 3-0. but, truth be told, i probably watched more of the Mexican national team tonight than i did of baseball. i did catch the 9th inning. i was happy to at least see them try and make the Tigers sweat a bit. but, having to get a hit with runners in scoring position is this team's downfall. they have fucking sucked at it all year long. CC gets the ball tomorrow night. he could pitch a no-hitter and the offense will find a way for him to lose. that's the way the game goes. at least Cano finally got a fucking hit. 1 for his last 30. and he wants to be paid like he's the best in baseball. fuck me.

i kind of do want them to lose in 4 so the baseball geniuses have to start making some tough decisions. who stays, who goes, who gets traded, which youngsters do you count on next year, etc, etc. why delay the inevitable. old men have slow bats in the playoffs. maybe one day they will remember that.

i did watch team USA win 3-1 tonight to qualify for the final round of qualifying for the World Cup. a good response after they gave up the wake the fuck up already goal at 5 minutes. 2 goals from Clint Dempsey. hopefully they figure out their defense before the next rounds start. they need a consistent back 4. and they need it quick. i'm not sure this team is capable of beating good teams 4-2 all the time. they have to win 1-0 or 2-1.

got a good phone call from my friend in California. funny how life can swing the emotions 180 degrees in just a day. welcome back my friend.
