i would give my left arm for a good night of sleep...

hard to believe Kurt Cobain would have been 53 today. i still remember the exact spot i was in when i heard he died.

i didn't sleep worth a shit last night. maybe 2 hours at best in my bed. a little over 2 hours in the chair.  i didn't really feel like i was awake until 2 this afternoon. good times.

the New York Rangers won last night in Chicago, 6-3. things are going to get real interesting at the trade deadline if they keep on winning.

The Masked Singer was good last night.

NXT was really good last night.

AEW was excellent last night.

Miz & Mrs was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Young Sheldon, The Unicorn, Will & Grace, Indebted and Desus & Mero.

i already watched NXT UK this afternoon. it was pretty good.

i see the New York Yankees are off to a shitty start regarding last year's biggest fucking problem, injuries. yesterday it was Aaron Judge and today its Luis Severino. fuck me.

Manchester United played a 1-1 draw today in the Europa League. hopefully, that away goal comes in handy next week.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get all the grocery shopping done.

it's way fucking colder today than the last few days. i thought we were supposed to have an early Spring. fucking groundhog.

until tomorrow kids...

just a little busy...

i wanted to start this blog way earlier today, but with a big ass storm coming, i had to get some shit done today rather than tomorrow. i'm really thankful mom's ct scan didn't go that long at all. that gave me the chance to type up poems, go to the bank and get the trash done all before the storm. but, since Dayton plays Davidson here in about 20 minutes, there's no damn way this blog is going to be done before the game starts. so, you'll get the slightly distracted poet today.

i typed up the 11 poems i wrote yesterday late last night. i wrote 13 poems today while mom was having her ct scan. i typed those up after lunch at Waffle House. out of the 24, i do think i have some winners. i really should try to get another batch ready before the end of the month.

Monday Night Raw was very good last night. i loved seeing the guys from NXT up there and see them winning as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

the Dayton Flyers play at Davidson tonight. i'd love to see Dayton win but i'm not counting on it.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Carolina. i'd love to see the Rangers win, but i'm not counting on that either.

here are your links for this day of Black History Month:

i'm hoping to have the blog done before i take mom to physical therapy tomorrow at 4 PM.

we're supposed to get some heavy snow tonight and then freezing rain and then it will all melt with rain by tomorrow afternoon. i'm expecting just a fucking mess.

until tomorrow kids...

and then the rain becomes snow

it was almost dry enough this morning for me to get out in the yard and fix all the shit the rain fucked up. almost. i did that rather than watching more of the USA lose to Russia 4-0.

when i woke up this morning, Russia was already up 2-0 midway in the 2nd period. that's about what it should have been given that all of the USA's best players play in the NHL. the USA will play again on Tuesday. i think they have to win 2 straight games now to even get a chance to get a medal. i doubt that happens.

i realized the New York Rangers play this afternoon, so if i have any intention of going to see the Dayton Flyers play tonight, i better get the blog done now before Manchester United plays. and this is why i confuse most people. why the fuck would a poet give a shit about sports? good fucking question.

NJPW was excellent last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was great last night.

Treehouse Masters was really good last night.

High Maintenance was hilarious last night.

2 Dope Queens was fucking hilarious last night.

Celebrity Big Brother went as i expected last night. Shannon got evicted and Omarosa is the new HOH. i was hoping to see her get evicted on Monday.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH and Austin City Limits.

the New York Rangers play up in Ottawa this afternoon.

Manchester United plays at Huddersfield Town this afternoon in the FA Cup. hopefully United gets a win and advances to the next round.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at home against Fordham. i'm planning on going to the game unless it starts to snow. Dayton isn't good enough this year for me to travel in the snow to see them play. i'll watch the game on television if that happens.

i will probably also watch some of the NBA All-Star Weekend shit tonight; slam dunk contest, 3 point contest, etc.

plus, there's always the Winter Olympics as well.

i hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday. if i have any boredom creep into my life this afternoon, i'll probably start to figure out where the next round of poems will be going to.

well, hello again...

i'm back from my little Christmas break. everything went well at my sister's house. her friends and their children really seemed to like their presents. i think my sister and mother both liked what i got them. all in all, other than shitty sleeping and way too much time on the toilet, it was a pretty good Christmas.

we did get up there and got everything out of the car by the time the New Orleans Saints game started. that was my plan. so i was pretty damn happy being able to sit down and watch the game on a big screen in my sister's basement and not be disturbed at all. and thankfully, the Saints won and are now going to be in the playoffs. and if they win at Tampa Bay next weekend, they will win the division and host a playoff game.

mom and i got back home last night. in time to put shit away and sit down for a little wrestling.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good and then the last hour of the show happened. Roman Reigns going nuts and destroying Samoa Joe was excellent. and then, the unexpected change of the tag titles. that truly caught me off guard. so, your new tag champs on Raw are Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan. never thought i'd type that in my lifetime.

it was nice to actually get some decent sleep last night. even if it was just a little over 4 hours.

i got up this morning and wrote 8 poems. i wrote those in the new notebook my sister's friends got me for Christmas. i typed those up this afternoon and really like them. that gives me 32 poems for the month. so, that's another goal crossed off.

when Manchester United went down 2-0 in the first half this morning, i was not pleased. when Jesse Lingard scored 2 goals to even the game in the second half, i wasn't pleased either. sure, they got a point out of the game. a game they honestly should have lost because a draw does nothing to teach the team or the management a lesson. they have no fucking chance to win the league. and if they keep playing like this, they will struggle to remain in the top 4 for the rest of the season.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

the World Juniors tournament started today. team USA takes on Denmark tonight in Buffalo. hopefully the boys can defend their gold medal from last year's tournament.

that's pretty much all for me kids. i need to drag my ass out into the cold and get the trash done next door. i believe the wind chill here at the moment is somewhere around 0 degrees. oh joy.

i hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. i hope your Boxing Day went well. and i hope you have a great last week of 2017.

one of those games you'll remember forever

i can't count the number of football games i have watched in my lifetime. i suppose between college and pro, i have seen easily thousands of games. the game yesterday between New Orleans and Detroit was one of the craziest fucking games i have ever seen in my life. the Saints started on fire and the defense was playing great as well. when the Saints got up 45-10, it was like i was living a fucking dream. sadly, human nature took over and the Saints took their foot off the neck. so the Lions then scored the next 28 points. now the score was 45-38. i'm in my room cussing loud enough that the next city could probably hear it, wondering how the fuck the Saints were going to fucking blow a 35 fucking point lead. thankfully, the Saints defense scored again (their 3rd touchdown in the game) to seal the victory, 52-38. 4 damn hours of one of the craziest NFL games i can ever remember. the Saints are now 3-2, the first time they have been over .500 in 4 or 5 seasons. they next play at Green Bay. that game suddenly became winnable now that Aaron Rodgers is injured.

i sent out 9 poems today. 5 to The Homestead Review and 4 to HST Quarterly. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

Last Week Tonight was fucking hilarious last night.

Ray Donovan was really good last night.

The Deuce was excellent last night.

Vice Principals was good last night.

Curb Your Enthusiasm was very funny last night.

i really wanted to like White Famous last night. i watched the first two episodes and while there were a few laughs, that was 60 minutes of my life i'll never get back. it simply wasn't funny enough for my Sunday night rotation.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and The Big Bang Theory. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

the New York Yankees play Game 3 of the ALCS tonight at home against Houston. this is basically a MUST WIN game for the Yankees. they haven't lost at home yet in the postseason, so i really hope that continues tonight.

i made a little trip to the bank today. i don't think the woman that flirted with me works there anymore. there's the story of my life.

i will be on here tomorrow before the Yankees play in the afternoon. i'm really hoping that will be a game where the Yankees can tie the series.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.
