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.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be NXT, St. Denis Medical and the season finale of Hard Knocks.
the New York Rangers play tonight at Colorado.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done tomorrow. it is supposed to be colder than shit tomorrow. joy.
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.
until tomorrow...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
there is so much to get to in this blog, i might as well start with the bullshit at the top of my mind. let me paint a picture. i have been talking to this beautiful woman from Georgia (state not country) for the last couple of weeks. i thought we really hit it off. we're both born in January. she's a Chelsea fan. i'm a Manchester United fan. she really liked my poetry. etc. etc. well, last night she told me she loves me. i said i love you too. felt incredibly comfortable saying that as i am at the point of my life where i am fucking tired of being alone. so, i got up this morning and there was no message from her. no big deal, i'll send the good morning. she comes back that she is in pain and her phone is fucked up. ok, shit happens, sorry to hear that. she then sends me a pic that says her camera on her phone won't work unless she has an Amazon gift card. i checked all around the web, already knowing the answer, but hoping to find something where i was wrong. so, you wait until the day after i say i love you to fucking try to scam me. that pissed me off royally. now, i had mailed her a book that should arrive tomorrow along with a birthday card. i usually allow people three strikes. but, when you toy with my emotions and then try to scam me, that's such a red flag that you have to go. so yeah, that was how my day started off. just fucking lovely. but, that should give me plenty to write about for the last 8 poems needed for the book.
i tried to start the Highlander today and of course it wouldn't. i needed to go to Kroger to get some pills and whatever was on the list. the battery charger mom ordered from Amazon is supposed to be here tomorrow. i'm hoping that works or we'll have to get a new battery. joy.
Manchester United defeated Arsenal yesterday in a penalty shootout to advance to the next round of the FA Cup. between a win with just 10 men and the draw at Liverpool the week before, maybe the team finally believes in itself again.
i did watch the NFL playoffs yesterday. Bills defeated the Broncos, 31-7. Eagles beat the Packers, 22-10. and the Commanders defeated Tampa Bay, 23-20. tonight the Rams will take on the Vikings.
The Agency last night was excellent.
Dexter: Original Sin was very good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight. i will be watching Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
so, the 3 poems i wrote last night i will look back with a great sense of irony. the poems i will hopefully write tonight will have plenty of venom. i won't be shocked if i get real fucking close to the number i need by 4 in the morning.
i'm ultra depressed now given this shit today. i told mom i should have expected the Highlander not to start when my blood sugar was 99 this morning. for every good thing that happens, there has to be a negative to even it out.
i still have no clue what is going on with my health insurance. and i need to get my driver's license renewed sometime before my birthday on the 21st. joy.
there was something i wrote last night that really has me thinking today. this theory that maybe i am that person who never gets to really fall in love and have that kind of happiness in my life. part of me is so eager to not be alone anymore that i'm willing to overlook the obvious shit just for the chance. that makes me wonder if i'm just rolling the ball uphill just to watch it fall over and over again. i remember in my 20's an old girlfriend warned me i was becoming the bitter old soul. sure enough.
that's all for me kids.
i surely hope your weekend was better than mine.
on the bright side, i did get my laundry done.
now i have to go ice my bad back.
until tomorrow kids...

i had to mail out a book today. i got everything ready and went into the garage to start the Highlander. it wouldn't start. well fuck me. so, i called AAA and they said they would give me a jump in about 90 minutes. ok. 90 minutes later, the guy was pulling up into the driveway. nicely played. he gave me a jump. said the battery looks fine, the sensors said it just needed charged, but said you should probably get a charger for here in the garage. good point. mom has ordered one from Amazon today. she went with me to the post office so i wouldn't have to turn the Highlander off. i got the book mailed and we went back home. i started the Highlander back up to get the mail before the snow started. thankfully, it started right up and was good. once that charger gets here, i'm going to make sure it stays charged, at least through the winter. the battery is like 8 years old, so i know damn well a new one is needed soon. so yeah, that was how my day started. good times.
i wrote 5 poems last night for the book. that brings that total up to 25. a few more nights like that and i'll have 40 in no time.
Notre Dame defeated Penn State, 27-24, to win their semifinal of the college football playoff last night. Texas and Ohio State plays tonight.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, i got to the Toyota dealership on time, amazingly. i'm not a morning person anymore. after about 45 minutes, they told me what was up. the check engine light was not about the hose. i guess the thermostat is shot. and a speed censor needs replaced. they didn't have all the parts there, of course. so, at first they wanted me to just leave it and they'd get me a rental, etc. but, i wasn't interested in that since my back is being an asshole these days. so, i get to take the Highlander back on November 15th and they will fix it then. all in all, it should be (hopefully) less than $700 for everything. i already paid over $150 of that today. so, that was my morning.
i hope everyone has voted. if you have voted for the criminal, i'm not really interested in your thoughts or opinions. trust me, i do understand voting for the lesser of two evils. and sure, if i was a billionaire, i probably wouldn't want to pay taxes. but i'm not, and i vote accordingly. plus, given my years of history studying Russian propaganda, etc, it is real simple to pick up on it in the political ads, especially on the right. it is always about fear and a thinly veiled message of hate and discord. sadly, Ohio is so far to the fucking right now, there is no damn reason to watch election results tonight. i can already tell you what will happen. Trump will declare himself the winner tonight and warn that if the results change by morning, which they will, the fix is in and it was rigged. and then we get the fucking circus again, except he won't be doing this from the oval office this time. and honestly, he told everyone the plan the other day when he said he never should have left in 2020. what the fuck do you think he is planning this time? i honestly thought we fought a fucking revolution so we wouldn't have kings and queens here. or maybe the history i learned isn't what is taught these days.
ok, enough fucking politics...
The Voice was very good last night.
What We Do in the Shadows was fucking insane last night.

so, the reason the check engine light was on in the Highlander was due to the same damn reason as three times before. the hose that goes into the air box came loose. as the guy at the dealership told me, that should never happen. so, me made a note in my account and also didn't charge me anything. now, if i could just get that hour back in the waiting room watching fox news. holy shit, no wonder so many people in this country are fucking dumb.

so, i was up early this morning and got myself to the dealership about 10 minutes before my appointment. 90 fucking minutes later, the new tire was put on the Highlander. at least that bullshit is over with. after that, i went to Big Lots. mom wanted me to look for some slippers for her and i was looking for some baseball cards. i got 3 packs of 2022 Topps Series 2. didn't find any slippers for her. after that, i had to go to Kroger to pick up a prescription for my mother. thankfully, i got there before they took their lunch break. when i got back to the Highlander, i noticed that Croatia and Brazil was going to penalty kicks. i started to race home, hoping i would get to see a little bit of that. by the time i got in the garage, i saw the news.
Croatia stunned Brazil today at the World Cup, beating them 1-1 (4-2) on penalty kicks. i did get the chance to watch the second game. that was another holy shit affair. Argentina built a 2 goal lead only to watch the Netherlands score 2 late goals to send the game to extra time. the game went to penalty kicks and Argentina won, 2-2 (4-3). Croatia vs. Argentina in the World Cup semifinal should be an entertaining war.
i've got my final load of laundry in the washer. i did go through the baseball cards. i got a few good ones today.
Vice News Tonight had two great episodes this week.
Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.
NJPW was really good last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Young Rock and two episodes of Random Acts of Flyness. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
i did listen to episode 425 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
so, i got up this morning and made sure i would be ready to get to the appointment i made to get the oil changed and a new tire for the Highlander. i made it to the dealership with a few minutes to spare. after about 45 minutes, the guy that was handling my appointment told me that they couldn't patch the tire as the hole seems to be from a previous patch. they, for some fucking reason, didn't have a tire in stock to match the ones already on the Highlander. i asked him to go check if he had any others in stock that would do the job as the vehicle is 20 years old, i couldn't give two shits if the tires are all the same. he came back a few minutes dumbfounded once again and told me they didn't have any tires in stock to fit the Highlander. he told me he could order one and have it here by Monday. i said ok, and then went back to his office. he called me down about 10 minutes later to say the Highlander was ready to go. he then told me the first appointment he had available to replace the tire would be December 13th. not exactly the few days from now i was expecting. i then told the guy i couldn't wait that long and would have to get it done somewhere else. i paid for the oil change and then left. i had to go to Rite Aid and get a new blood pressure cuff for mom. when i told her what was going on, she couldn't believe it. now, the beauty of all this is there is no damn tire place around here where i can just drive the Highlander there and get a new tire put on without a damn appointment. so, i'm hoping i can figure out something this weekend and maybe get fucking lucky and get a new tire on the Highlander before fucking Christmas.
and for the cherry on top of my fucking day, i heard back from Tiffany at Ephemeral Elegies on my poetry submission from back in October. she decided to pass on the poems.
today at the World Cup, Uruguay defeated Ghana, 2-0. South Korea beat Portugal, 2-1. Switzerland beat Serbia, 3-2. and Cameroon upset Brazil, 1-0. those results meant that Brazil won Group G with Switzerland finishing second. Portugal won Group H with South Korea finishing second. Brazil will play South Korea and Portugal will play Switzerland.
tomorrow starts to the knockout portion of the tournament. this is when it really gets good. first up will be the Netherlands vs. USA and then Argentina takes on Australia.
i did watch a good portion of the Bills defeat of the Patriots last night.
Vice News Tonight had two fascinating episodes this week.
NJPW was really good last night.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Ottawa. hopefully, the boys can beat this team again.
i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. my first thought is it will be after the USA takes on Netherlands. but then again, if i have to run out and get the tire changed or pick up my pills at Rite Aid (which better be fucking ready since i run out of them on Sunday). or maybe, it will be after the Dayton Flyers game tomorrow afternoon. or, maybe i just wake up at the crack of fucking dawn like the old person i am and just get the blog done before everything starts tomorrow. your guess is as good as mine.
that being said, i hope everyone has a great weekend.

hard to believe it has been 2 years since Kobe Bryant died. that also means it has been 2 years since COVID really got into the world. damn.
so, i got the Highlander to the dealership this morning on time. 2 hours later, after an oil change, tire rotation, replacing the engine filter and a light bulb on the drivers side that was out, i was paid up and leaving. i did appreciate the woman i was working with in the service department said she noticed the time and realized i was here way too long. in my head, i was thinking, no shit. but, it all got done for under $200, so i was happy, as was mom. after that, i had to finish the grocery shopping.
Kroger wasn't too bad today. and thankfully, i pretty much found everything that was on the list.
