not a bad way to start this weekend...

i've spent the last two hours sitting at my computer trying to get updates on the high school i went to. they were trying to win their 3rd state championship in football. given the tornado that basically destroyed Trotwood, the whole town was pulling for a victory today. i don't believe in happy endings, so i was fearing the worse. the game went to OT when Trotwood had a game winning field goal blocked. but, thankfully, Trotwood scored in OT and then intercepted Mansfield Senior on the final play of the game to win 14-7. all 3 of these championships are miracles to me. the team fucking sucked when i was in high school. but, hopefully it lifts the spirits of my former hometown and they truly enjoy it.

the New York Rangers had their backup goalie stand on his head last night (45 saves) and they defeated Columbus 3-2. they are at home tonight against Montreal.

NXT UK was really good last night.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

The Unicorn was very good last night.

i did watch some of the Bears vs. Cowboys last night. i love when the Cowboys lose.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

i did listen to the latest episode of Notsam Wrestling late last night. you can find that by going here:

shopping at Menards yesterday went pretty well. we found just about everything we were looking for. i thought mom did pretty well. we went to eat after we got done.

the grocery shopping today was crazy. you would think the world was ending. and of course, we've been living on scraps since Thanksgiving, so i had a fucking scroll of shit to buy. thankfully, i kept it under $200.

i'm going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow. this is is going to be a fucking crazy football weekend. Ohio State plays for the Big Ten Championship tomorrow night. the New Orleans Saints have a huge game on Sunday against the 49ers. and, to start the whole weekend off is the Manchester derby. so, i'm hoping to get the blog done before United and City play tomorrow. that way i won't be trying to do one in the afternoon totally pissed off or too fucking drunk.

i do need to figure out who i'm sending Christmas cards/gifts to this year and where the fuck my next round of poems will be going to.

so, the candle will be burning at both ends this evening.

i hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. get your shopping done and hopefully your weather doesn't fucking suck this weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

felicidades a los carneros

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:

another one of "those" days

i was feeling pretty good this morning. i was just getting done with some stuff on YouTube when my stomach decided it was going to stage a protest rally. i haven't eaten anything crazy or out of the ordinary here lately, so i have no fucking clue what's going on with me. so, after the rest of the morning on the toilet i decided what better to do than mail out some poems.

i sent out 8 poems this afternoon, 3 to The Camel Saloon and 5 to miracle e-zine. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the news here.

i was hoping the rest of my shipment from amazon.com was going to be in the mail, but of course it wasn't. i know it's at the damn post office, they just haven't worked it yet.

the Yankees are on the west coast this week, so i'm going to have some late nights. the next 2 games are going to be tricky against the Dodgers. i'd be really happy with a split considering they are facing their best pitchers.

also tonight is the season finale of Deadliest Catch. judging from the previews, there's going to be a gruesome injury tonight. i'll definitely have my eyes glued to that before i flip to baseball.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i was in and out of it as it was taped last week so i pretty much knew what was going to happen.

the humidity really picked up today so i finally shut the house up. it looks like it may actually go back to being summer here after this rain works through the area. my luck the grass will grow a foot in the next 3 days.

that's all for today. i've got some floors to vacuum, a long shower to take and maybe a nap.
