i believe i still have it...

 i know i often complain on here that writing poetry is like squeezing water out of a rock sometimes for me. but, on the days where talent just fucking flows, it can still be amazing. the three poems i wrote today i really, really like. now, the only way they become poems i love is when they are published somewhere. but, i have to admit, i have a really good feeling about these three.

the New York Rangers won last night at home against Arizona, 2-1. they play Nashville at home on Thursday.

The Voice was really good last night. the battle rounds start tonight.

Monday Night Raw was excellent last night.

i did watch some of the NFL game last night. the Cowboys beat the Chargers, 20-17.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Inside the NFL, two episodes of Welcome to Wrexham, Name That Tune, The Voice and Big Brother.

the USMNT takes on Ghana tonight.

                                          

                                          

                                          

i know at some point tonight i need to pick up all the trash and take a shower.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

i did make it to Rite Aid this afternoon to pick up my prescription. thankfully, it isn't one of the ones that are closing.

i need to go make dinner, so that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

well, it was going to end sometime...

mom had to cancel her physical therapy today. the injection she got yesterday really kicked her ass. so, that meant i got the chance to watch the Manchester United game this afternoon. when United was down 2-0, i thought well shit, the winning streak had to end sometime. when United made it 2-2 in the 92 minute, i thought holy shit, maybe this team does have some magic in them. sadly, the game ended 2-2, but i'm actually happy they rescued a point out of the game. especially since Burnley had no interest in doing anything after they went up 2-0. they parked the bus and gave up 2 goals. ha ha.

i also decided not to go to the Dayton Flyers game tonight. it's cold as hell outside and the game is on television. easy decision.

Monday Night Raw was really good last night.

Celebrity Big Brother was nuts again last night.

Breslin and Hamill: Deadline Artists was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

also playing tonight are the New York Rangers at home against Philadelphia. if everything goes well tonight, hopefully i will be drinking two victory drinks.

i got those 12 poems i wrote yesterday typed up this morning. i really like a few of them.

i have no clue if mom will actually have her doctor's appointment tomorrow or not. they are saying the windchill in the morning is going to be close to -50 degrees. i wouldn't be shocked if the doctor's office is closed tomorrow. i'm torn, because the appointment was to start the process so we can figure out what the fuck is wrong with her shoulder. oh well.

the Dayton Flyers are getting ready to start so that's all for me kids.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

hopefully last medical trip of 2017

i took my mother to her ear doctor today. i was going to put the guy that fucked up her ear, but i decided not to. basically, she had another hearing test, which did show some hearing loss in one of her ears. also, he told her the only thing he could do was give her the same shit that fucked her up last time and mom wants no part of that. but, i think she had to go see him to satisfy the fuckers trying to deny her disability claim. hopefully this will be the last visit to a waiting room for 2017.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. Hideo Itami showed up. The Revival is back. and there will be a women's Royal Rumble at the ppv in January. that should be very interesting.

The Voice was really good last night. i still think Chloe will be the winner, although i wouldn't be shocked if Addison wins tonight either.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

the Dayton Flyers play tonight out in California at Saint Mary's. Dayton is a pretty big underdog tonight, so i'm not expecting much from them. and if it gets really bad, i'll simply just go to sleep.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Anaheim. they are supposed to get Mika Zibanejad back from a concussion tonight. hopefully he gives the power play a much needed jolt of energy.

i did get all my Christmas gifts wrapped last night.

a big thank you to John Sweet for the poetry books he sent me in the mail. that was a nice surprise today.

that's all for me today kids. i'll probably be on here tomorrow sometime after Manchester United plays.

80 degrees in April

this is the one part of living in the sticks that would always make me laugh. a day like today is when you would hear some dumb fuck in town talk about well, if this global warming, i'll take it all the time. sure, 80 degrees and sweating in April is just a fucking joy. maybe when these dumb fucks have their vacation destinations in Florida under water one day, they will finally understand that 20 degrees warmer than normal is not always a good thing.

Smackdown was excellent last night. it was a complete 180 from Monday Night Raw. it's amazing to think that both shows are even the same company sometimes.

205 Live was good last night. i could watch Neville and Jack Gallagher wrestle forever and never get bored.

The Voice went mostly as i expected last night. the two up for elimination were two of the ones that i thought would be.

Great News was so bad last night that it almost made for good television. sadly, everything that was funny about the show was in the commercials for the show. not a good sign.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night. as soon as Nick said his white blood cell count was that high, i knew he was talking about cancer. i know most reality shows are fake to some degree, but i do appreciate just how "real" this show has always been.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Total Divas. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Yankees play tonight up in Boston. hopefully they can get a win.

the Stanley Cup playoffs start back up tonight with games in the Western Conference. St. Louis plays Nashville and Anaheim takes on Edmonton. i imagine i will watch some of both games tonight.

i did listen to the latest Jim Norton & Sam Roberts podcast today. you can find that by going here:

part 2 of something other than this...

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.

hello sadness, it's been awhile...

my sister called me yesterday with the news that Robin Williams was dead. this really came out of nowhere for me. as i dug deeper online and saw that he was dead and had committed suicide, i really got bummed out. he was one of the bigger comedic influences in my life. i can remember him from the Mork and Mindy days and how he could always make me laugh. and with it being suicide, it really hits closer to home. i have battled that temptation for many years now. and the harder i try to keep the dark side of me down, the more i figure i will give in at some point. hopefully, that is many years from now. i will deeply miss Robin Williams. not only for his comedy, but for the movie that sent me in the crazy direction i am in now, Dead Poets Society. O Captain My Captain, may you find the peace you deserve. you will be missed.

i believe the dream woman and i just had our first argument. over money of course. funny how that always creeps into these situations.

the Yankees had a lead last night, 3-1. next thing you know, they gave up 10 straight runs to lose 11-3. ouch. thank god they are rained out tonight. i need a break from them. hopefully they will do better on Wednesday.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. they held the Hulk Hogan stuff for the very end, which i figured they were going to do to try to help the ratings. overall, the three hours went by pretty fast.

i followed the Manchester United game today online as i was watching Real Madrid win the UEFA Super Cup. hard to imagine that Fellaini scored the winner for United at the death. 2-1 win over Valencia. i'll enjoy that victory beer after i sweep the floors.

i got up this morning and did the dishes. i figured i was already in pain, might as well pile on. good times.

i guess i'll be watching Tyrant tonight and that might be it. it should be another really good episode.

the weather here has taken another turn to the cool side. supposed to be in the 60's for the next few days. one of the oddest summers i can ever remember.

that's pretty much all for me today. oh wait...

i used a different lotion to masturbate today and holy shit, what a feeling. now go and enjoy that visual...

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, love, hate mail, whatever your heart desires...

what up fools

as some of you may know, April is poetry month. so, this year i am going to put a link to either a poem, or a story, or an article, or something at the start of each blog as my little ode to national poetry month. so, today, here you go:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/victoria-chang/13-poetry-collections-for_b_5065153.html

i'm a little stunned at the moment as i was fully expecting Manchester United to get hammered today. amazingly, they drew 1-1. of course, Bayern gets the big away goal but at least this gives me hope that next week in Germany United has a chance. this also pisses me off as i wonder where the fuck was this defensive effort in the Premier League this year. oh well.

a big night for me as the New York Yankees start another season. and it is the last season for Derek Jeter. so, i'll probably be a sap in this blog from time to time with my memories of my second favorite Yankee of all time. they start the season in Houston, which hopefully leads to some wins right away.

also tonight, the New York Rangers play in Vancouver. so, more stories about the coaches seeing their old teams, etc... all i really give a shit about is the Rangers winning.

also tonight is the next episode of The Voice. they are hyping this as amazing tonight... we'll see. i did enjoy last night's episode. i still believe Usher has the best team.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. Bray Wyatt has the chance to be one of the best ever cutting promos. and i really enjoyed Daniel Bryan beating the shit out of HHH at the end. that should set up this weekend rather well. i'll be getting Wrestlemania and whenever we move, i do plan on getting the WWE Network. but i'll definitely need a better high speed internet for that to happen.

i didn't do much today as my mom wasn't feeling well so i made sure to be around for her. she has surgery in a few weeks so i think her nerves may be getting to her. so, i'm trying to be the asshole that makes her laugh and take her minds off of things. good times.

got another cartoon from my friend in Sweden today. i'm going to have to find a publisher for this shit. it's too good not to be seen.

that's all for me today kids. no good April Fools jokes today, other than what The Flaming Lips pulled off. i was busy trying to clean up messes in the cellar. fun.

i'll be on here sometime in the afternoon tomorrow. i'm planning on doing some groundwork on getting ready to send some poems out here soon. so expect plenty of music to be consumed tomorrow.

take it easy my enemies, and then take it again.

letting the brain rest

i have been sort of on auto-pilot today. just really wanted a day where i could give my brain a rest. well, at least for a few hours. i did that until i decided to do some brainstorming on iTunes. you'll see the results of that down below.

i did the dishes late last night, mostly to have some warm water running through the pipes last night. i believe it got down to 10 or so with the windchill. but, having a bad back provides just enough pain that when that back is aggravated, i will sleep simply out of misery. so, i think i got almost 6 hours last night.

i did enjoy the Sunday night shows. Total Divas was pretty good, especially the ending. i thought Girls ended the season in a way that gives plenty of avenues for the next season. Vice is way better than 60 Minutes if you ask me. Shameless was great as well. and House of Lies did make me laugh realy hard a few times.

tonight will be my usual remote control breaking Monday kind of night. first off, the New York Rangers play at home against the Coyotes. bascially, another playoff game. and the team is going through the flu bug at the moment. just great.

and then at 8, it's my usual struggle between The Voice and Monday Night Raw. i'm really hoping both shows are good tonight.

i was stunned with the news that the lead singer of GWAR died. totally didn't see that one coming.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2014/03/24/gwar-lead-singer-dave-brockie-dies-former-bandmates-pay-tribute-to-the-man-known-as-oderus-urungus/

sorry for this being so short... i've got toilets to clean and then figure out what's for dinner.

hope this finds everyone well. i'll be on here tomorrow sometime after the Manchester United game.

peace...
