so, in some ways, 2024 was the year my writing finally hit the next level. the book i did with Casey Renee Kiser, Altered States of The Unflinching Souls, is something i am really proud of. you can still get a copy by going here:
i was nominated for a Best of the Net by Disturbing the Universe Magazine. and, for the first time in my life, i was nominated for the Pushcart Prize by The Rye Whiskey Review.
plus, John Patrick Robbins, the editor of The Rye Whiskey Review, and i are toying around with the thought of me doing a book in 2025 for his press.
add in me finally doing a few new SoundCloud tracks, and i truly hope this is a sign of things to come...
Manchester United lost 2-0 yesterday at home to Newcastle. honestly, it never felt that close. United, for the first time in my life, are in a relegation battle. hopefully, the players figure that out soon and start giving a shit again.
the New York Rangers lost last night at Florida, 5-3.
Monday Night Raw was really good last night. the show, for the first time in 32 years, will start on Netflix next week.
the NFL game last night was crazy. Detroit won at the 49ers, 40-34.

i need to go grocery shopping today and it is raining. joy.
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.
i hope your 2024 was better than mine.

so, the pain isn't exactly coming from my left shoulder, more coming from the neck it seems. makes it pretty difficult to do certain things when it is really flaming. when i got home from the grocery store, i put ice right on where it felt like the pain was coming from. i think i got the ice right on a nerve. this is why ice only works for me. it was an instant sensation of my body shutting off. i fear, i'll need that more and more as i get older. i have a doctor's appointment later this month. that might get interesting. i see the eye doctor tomorrow. that could get interesting as well.
grocery shopping went ok today. it took me a little longer to bag my groceries at Kroger. the cashier certainly didn't seem interested in helping me. at least the lady behind me was very patient. i did appreciate that.
the Yankees lost last night at Texas, 7-4. nothing like Clay Holmes blowing another fucking save by giving up a walk off grand slam. now, the guy that hit that grand slam got the hit i needed to win a same game parlay on Draftkings. what a world. the loss also knocked the Yankees out of first place in the AL East.
NXT was really good last night.
Hard Knocks was good last night. time for another NFL season to start.
Deadliest Catch was very good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and Big Brother.
so, i am a big believer in evolution. i try to explain it as why we see everything done by people younger and younger. today was the latest example as a 14 year old is the latest school shooter. i fucking hate it more than anything that this shit is fucking common in this country. i hate it even more that the response from the republicans is to arm the teachers and put more guns in the situation. as i told my mother today, maybe when a 8 year old kills his classmates, this country will finally realize the gun problem we have. it obviously is going to take something so fucking shocking to wake us the fuck up.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get done with my appointment at the eye doctor.
i need to pick up all the trash tonight and get that out. i love how people forget around here that trash gets picked up a day later when there is a holiday.
i have no clue what i'm making for dinner tonight.
i'm off to go ice my neck down again. joy.

the Yankees lost last night at home to the Angels, 9-4. they were supposed to start a series against the Rangers tonight at home but mother nature told them to fuck off. so, they will play another doubleheader tomorrow. joy.

later tonight, i will probably send out some poems. after i do that, i'm going to write the blog for tomorrow. i want to do that then so i can get some sleep before i watch the FA Cup final tomorrow between Manchester United and Manchester City.
that will lead right into the WWE King and Queen of the Ring tomorrow afternoon from Saudi Arabia. so, around 3 in the morning might be the only chance i have to do the blog, send out some poems, etc.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
when mom saw how much laundry i did yesterday she was shocked. how in the hell... i just laughed. i have had to adapt over the years and be able to make sure she's ok while also doing my laundry, answering emails, doing the blog, remembering to eat and take my pills, let alone make sure she eats and takes her pills, etc. etc. it is almost to the point where i feel like if i'm not doing a thousand things at the same time, i get antsy. i don't want it to be that way, but it is. oh well.
had a fun time driving home from mom's physical therapy appointment. some jackass on the highway gave me roughly six inches of room to squeeze in the lane. what really pissed me off was there was no one in the left lane, so he could have easily got his ass over to let me in and then went on his way. i got around the semi i almost hit trying to get on the highway. and then the asshole that barely gave me any room started following me. i noticed him in my mirror and thought, if you follow me home motherfucker, i will kill you. thankfully for him, he turned to go towards the fast food restaurants.
i did write 5 poems today while mom was doing her physical therapy. i typed those up this afternoon, i really like them.
i did watch plenty of football games yesterday, even made some money.

so, right as i was getting ready to write blog 3 of the day, the fan on the computer turned on and now won't turn off. i have shutdown 3 different times, waited longer to turn the computer back on each time, and the fucking thing went right back to making this god awful noise. and people wonder why i'm crazy...
other than sending those poems out today, i haven't done much. i watched some soccer this afternoon, had some lunch and now i need to figure out what i'm making for dinner.
Big Brother was good last night. Reilly was evicted and Felicia is the new HOH. this could be a fun week.

so, i thought i was going to have this Monday where i was going to try to squeeze everything in. turns out, that wasn't the case. mom wasn't feeling good when i woke her up this morning. so, she cancelled her physical therapy appointment at noon. and then i thought she had an appointment to get the battery on her iPhone changed. but, i guess she thought she made the appointment for today but actually made it for tomorrow and they don't have the batteries in stock. so, she cancelled that as i have an eye doctor's appointment tomorrow. so, i was able to get to the bank without feeling rushed at all. and i got in a decent nap this afternoon.

so, i got up this morning, made some breakfast for myself and was all ready for the Manchester United game. sadly, i don't think many of the players were. United lost to Brighton, 2-1. not exactly how i was hoping for the ETH era to begin. of course, i was thinking that the ownership and the board was going to be all in on just how much the club needed to change. silly me. hopefully, the board saw today that they still need tons of improvement in all areas of the club. and if they don't get it done in this transfer window, it is going to be a long ass season.
the Yankees lost last night to the Cardinals, 1-0. hard to win when all you get is two fucking singles for the entire fucking game. hopefully, they will end this fucking losing streak this afternoon.
AEW Battle of the Belts 3 was really good last night.

so, i'm starting to believe that maybe my mother's blood sugar is dropping at odd times now. the only other or i can think of is a fucking tumor of some kind and i don't want to have to cross that fucking bridge until i must. so, i tried to do the grocery shopping with all of this on my mind today. thankfully, i was able to get everything on the list and a few extras and not get charged an arm and a leg. i also got some baseball cards today. two boxes at Rite Aid for $11. there were plenty of hall of famers in both boxes, so i'm guessing the cards were worth around $20, so that made me happy.
the Yankees pissed away a 3 run lead last night and lost to the Reds, 4-3. what made it worse was it was the Yankees bullpen that pissed this away. 3 outs from a victory... hopefully, the Yankees will win tonight.
NXT was very good last night.

so, NHL free agency started today. i was pretty interested to see what the New York Rangers were going to do. well, i was a little shocked that they signed Vincent Trocheck. he does fill the need for a second line center. i just hate they had to give him 7 years to get him to sign with the Rangers. they traded Nemeth to Arizona and signed two backup goalies. i can't wait to see what kind of magic Chris Drury works to get their own free agents under the cap now. all in all, i do think Trocheck will help in the short term. now, if he's still playing great 7 years from now at 36 years old, i'll be fucking thrilled.
i think mom is making some tuna for tonight. i didn't want to fire up the oven in the heat again, so i got a veggie tray that i thought we could have for dinner tonight. mom wanted to make some tuna to go along with it and i figure that will be a nice, light dinner for sure.
