and here comes the storm...

a little poetry news to pass on before i get to this day of pain and more pain... i heard back from the editors at great weather for MEDIA on my poetry submission from back in November. they decided to pass on the 4 poems i sent. i certainly will have plenty to choose from for my annual poetry submission on my birthday this year. i've got a few places in mind. hopefully i will have better luck.

so i wanted to get to the store before noon today since there's this big storm coming and i know everyone around here would be in a state of panic, as usual. i got out of the house and to the first store before noon. not as good as i wanted, but i'll take it. i got out of there and was to the second grocery store about 10 minutes after noon. of course, i had a prescription to pick up, so there was my next 30 minutes. i have no damn clue why they would put two trainees on the cash registers when the line is about 25 people deep. i got everything that was on the scroll, plus my birthday cake as well. as usual, no baggers working and my back was killing me. joy. thankfully, i made it out there before 2 PM and spent less than $200.

of course, i needed to help mom this afternoon clean as she always gets a wild hair up her ass when my sister is coming. and just my luck, i go to empty the vacuum cleaner and it breaks and most of it ends up on me. if i truly was as insane as most people believe i am, today would have been the day i would have killed everyone. but, i'm not. i wouldn't say i'm well adjusted either, just not as crazy as these assholes need to believe i am.

i'm guessing my sister will be down here before the storm starts. and i'm guessing we'll get enough snow that she's going to be here a couple days. joy.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty good last night.

Young Sheldon was very good last night.

Gotham was fucking great last night.

Lip Sync Battle was pretty funny last night.

the New York Rangers recovered from a shitty start last night and defeated Chicago, 4-3. the win gives The King a tie for 6th place all time in wins by goalies.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW, Women of Wrestling (WOW) and Real Time with Bill Maher.

i'm going to try to do the blog tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the morning. that way i have a nice little window to actually enjoy breakfast, the game, and get the blog done before the Dayton Flyers play in the afternoon. at least that is the plan.

of course, just as life, everything is subject to change.

we're supposedly going to get 7 inches of snow and a good layer of ice as well. just in time for my birthday. oh joy.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. be safe and enjoy it.

Espero que a mi hermana le guste usar una pala.

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

peace and chicken grease...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

election day...

i could have titled this blog voter suppression day, but that would be too fucking obvious. i read the story out of Detroit of a place not having any voting machines or the video from Georgia of the machines not having any cords to plug them in. given all the lengths people go to to make sure people of color don't vote in this country, imagine if they put that much effort into actually running the country. god fucking forbid.

i sent out 14 poems earlier today. 4 to Great Weather for Media and 5 each to Synchronized Chaos and Horror Sleaze Trash. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

The Voice was really good last night. i can't wait for the live shows.

Monday Night Raw was more or less, a bunch of fucking rematches with a tag title change. since the show was recorded (the WWE is in Europe at the moment), i pretty much already knew what was going to happen. that's why i had no problem having a conversation with the muse while the show was on in the other room.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Jim Jefferies Show and the season finale of Mayans M.C.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Montreal. hopefully, they will continue their winning streak.

the landscapers came by this afternoon and planted the tree they had ordered for the yard. it will be interesting to see if it survives these fucking winds today.

i don't plan on watching election results tonight. i know how stupid the people in this state are, so i'm not expecting any of the candidates i voted for to win.

i do need to pick up the trash here and next door. hopefully, i can avoid a political discussion with my aunt. we have similar views, but i'm really not in the mood today.

i will be on here tomorrow early, well before Manchester United plays Juventus tomorrow.

and long before mom and i go to see the Dayton Flyers play their first regular season game tomorrow night against North Florida.

i hope everyone that is registered to vote did so today. i could say i don't care who you voted for, but that would be a lie.

until tomorrow kids, if there happens to be one...

Un día las personas se darán cuenta del precio que pagan por su estupidez.

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

peace and chicken grease...
