a day older than i was yesterday...

 well, today has been interesting. i believe Substack has become a tool of the russian bots. there is no fucking way all these single women think i'm attractive and want to fuck me. hell, even when i thought i was handsome, twenty some fucking years ago, there wasn't that many then either. but, i also want to believe that many one of these are real, an actual fan of my poetry, etc. i know, first world problems...

well, my birthday dinner last night was from Arby's. i am a sucker for their gyros sandwiches. plus, i get some vegetables that way. 

the Dayton Flyers won last night at Duquesne, 82-62.

the New York Rangers won last night at home over Ottawa, 5-0.

i had no clue there was another Hard Knocks episode on last night. it was good.

St. Denis Medical was fucking hilarious last night.

NXT was good last night.

the grocery store was a bit crazy today. mom gave me her insurance card and credit card to pay for her medicine, in case the price didn't go down from the $1,200 it said online. well, they put the new insurance in but couldn't take the price down because the insurance hasn't approved for mom to be on this medicine that she was on under the previous insurance. and, on top of that, mom's credit card got denied, so, i had to put it on mine. i can't imagine why i am in debt. i told mom about her card when i got home. she called and they told her it hadn't been used in 3 weeks, that's why they declined it. even though she bought shit online with it the night before. what a load of horse shit. i did get everything on the list.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Abbott Elementary, Inside the NFL and AEW Dynamite.

the USMNT takes on Costa Rica tonight. hopefully, they will win.

we are having the hardest damn time getting someone to look at our oven. it is amazing that no repair company out here does shit anymore. of course, the population has been dwindling for years and moving east or south. that's where all the damn businesses have gone.

congrats to CC Sabathia, Ichiro Suzuki and Billy Wagner on making the baseball hall of fame last night.

i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the Europa League.

i have no damn clue what we're doing for dinner tonight.

until tomorrow kids...

well, at least the new battery works...

 the guy from AAA couldn't believe the battery he was replacing last night was 9 years old. he was like, this new one has a 3 year warranty on it. i don't know if it will last 9 years, but it should work great. and it did. the Highlander started right up. that certainly took some stress off of mom's mind. $226 well spent in my mind. the AAA guy was only here about 15 minutes total. 

the New York Rangers lost last night at Colorado, 3-2, in OT.

i did get the 3 poems i needed to write done last night. so, i have all 40 ready to go. i just need to get them sent to JPR, which i figure i will do either tonight or tomorrow.

a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:

i'm going to try to send the poems for the book out tonight. i seem to do my best work after midnight anymore.

i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Southampton at home.

i believe we are going to have some leftovers for dinner tonight.

a snowy Tuesday...

 well, here is the Highlander update. the car battery charger showed up today from Amazon. i put it on for a couple hours and the battery wasn't charged yet. i decided fuck it, i'm not going to risk this shit. so, now i have AAA coming to install a new battery in it. they are about $20 cheaper than any place around me. so, i'm hoping that will solve the battery issues and allow me to get done what i need to get done this week; grocery shopping and getting my drivers license renewed.

i did write 5 poems last night, all for the book. the last one i wrote last night brought me to tears, so i'm thinking i might name the book after that poem. i have 3 more to go to reach 40. i'm planning on getting those done tonight and then get the book manuscript out to JPR in the next day or so. he wants all 40 poems together in one file. i haven't done it that way before, so i will try to allot myself plenty of time to get that done. but, it looks like i will accomplish the goal of getting it done before my birthday on the 21st.

AAA just called and the guy will be here in 50 minutes. it's snowing and he is coming from south of town during rush hour. i completely understand.

the NFL playoff game surprised a little bit last night. i didn't think the Vikings were going to be that bad. the Rams won, 27-9. the Rams will now play at the Eagles.

Monday Night Raw was excellent last night. i am so happy for Penta.

i am not as depressed as i thought i would be today after all the bullshit of yesterday. i guess i wrote it out of me last night. helps that the poems i sent to Synchronized Chaos will be published tomorrow. of course, one of them is about the scam artist.

ok kids, i'm off to the living room to see when the guy from AAA gets to here to install the new battery.

when life starts moving at 110 MPH...

 so, i have been really falling for this woman i have been talking to for the last few weeks. she's from Switzerland but is in Atlanta, father is Swiss, mother is American... she's not like the other ones that are clearly bots or scam artists. we get into these pretty deep conversations. and nothing she has told me has come up any different in any google searches. the hard part is the wall i have built up to protect me from these situations turning negative doesn't want me to believe this could be real. but, seeing that i haven't been in a relationship in 21 years, loneliness is fucking killing me. so, she is quickly becoming the antidote. we both agree that taking it slow is for the best. that is the other part that makes me think she actually is real. so yeah, if i seem a bit scatterbrain at times, you now know why.

Orkin was back out here today. they got another squirrel in a trap in the attic. he put two more up there and baited with the suet that caught this one. i know if these traps go off, the squirrels are either getting into the attic from the roof, or mom's theory might be right, they are in the walls. good times.

the roads were pretty good for the most part. the side roads were at least drivable. the parking lots weren't icy, thankfully.

i did write 2 poems last night for the book. i was so damn tired last night that i typed them up this morning.

so much for a peaceful 2025...

 i didn't get to sleep last night until 5 this morning. i did manage to write 3 poems last night. more on that in a bit. i woke up around 9:45 this morning and checked my phone. i believe the first words were what the fuck. being 48 years old, i'm no longer surprised by the violence, or the lack of humanity anymore. what really pisses me off anymore is how this country turns a blind eye to homegrown terrorists. we still operate with this mentality that our enemies are nations, etc. i always thought this was why we could never win in Vietnam. we don't understand guerillas or the lone wolfs that get radicalized. and we still don't. the Sugar Bowl tonight between Georgia and Notre Dame has been postponed to tomorrow night. i'm sure the death total will rise and lord knows how many IEDs they are going to find around the French Quarter. the terrorist in question is 42 years old and an American citizen. from Texas of course. just fucking crazy...

so, on the 3 poems i wrote last night. i need to write about 40 poems that will be for my new book, untitled as of now. John Patrick Robbins from The Rye Whiskey Review wants to publish a book of poems of mine. i have always enjoy working with JPR, so i am definitely going to jump at this opportunity. so, i basically am going to write poems for the book specifically that no one will see until the book is published. i also am going to try to write poems for the places i send to as well. what this actually means is i won't be sleeping for the next 5 months. good times.

i finished the grocery shopping yesterday and got home in time to watch the second half of Dayton vs. LaSalle. Dayton won the game 84-70.

team USA defeated Canada last night, 4-1, to win Group A at the World Juniors. the USA will play Switzerland on Thursday in the quarterfinals.

oh goody, now the FBI believes the terrorist, who was in the US Army by the way at some point, didn't act alone in this. why do i think this is now becoming an old episode of Homeland?

Orkin came by last night and put two traps up in the attic. they could tell the squirrels are up there. they couldn't see anyplace where they are getting in and out of. hopefully, the traps will work. Orkin is supposed to be out later this week to check on them.

i should be on here tomorrow before the Ohio State vs. Oregon game in the Rose Bowl.

if you are going out to party tonight, please be safe.

up early for nothing...

 so, i was up at 7 this morning, mostly because i knew i had to get mom up at 9 since Orkin was supposed to be here at 10. i always like having my breakfast done so we're not in each other's way in the kitchen. i made sure the Highlander was outside so they could get up in the attic. it was raining this morning, so basically the Highlander got washed. so, when Orkin got here, i was busy on the computer making sure i had all the coupons loaded on the Kroger card for grocery shopping later on. when i got that done, Orkin was already gone. mom told me he said there are definitely squirrels in the attic. he didn't have a ladder with him because he thought we had pull down stairs. he told mom that someone else would be out here later today to get up in the attic, set some traps, etc. etc. now, i went and did the grocery shopping. i came back this afternoon and knew just by the look on mom's face that no one from Orkin had shown up. two things royally piss me off in this world. ignorance and incompetence. i have no fucking patience for either. i know damn well why they are dragging their feet on getting up in the attic. the contract we signed states that if there is any damage to the insulation or anything up there, they have to pay for all repairs. the squirrels that aren't supposed to be able to survive with the insulation that is up there, have been up there for over a month now. and given that they haven't ended up in the trap attached to the hole they made in the soffit, there has to be another fucking way there are getting in and out. and this is after they swore they fortified the roof as well. now you know why there are no guns in this house.

mom made a scroll for a grocery list today. i got everything. there was no fucking way to keep it under $200 this week. at least i got $3 back on the booze i bought.

i guess Orkin is coming here in the morning and they are actually going to finally, get in the attic and see if there has been any damages. if there hasn't, i would love for them to fix the fucking hole the squirrels or racoons did and take the fucking traps away. nothing says Christmas cheer like a fucking trap hanging from the fucking soffit.

 it seems my life basically runs in two different shifts. morning and late at night. whatever the fuck happens between those times, i'm not really sure of anymore. it seems like auto-pilot is running that show. i read something a few months ago how nocturnal people should lean into that life. so, taking a shower at 4 in the morning after getting the Christmas cards, dishes and email all done seems natural.
