and here come the cold ass winds...

 it was really windy here today. that always seems to happen on trash day. been like that for most of my adult life it seems. i did get the grocery shopping done early today. i wanted to be home to watch the Manchester United game. more on that in a bit.

the grocery stores weren't too bad today. you could tell the spooked shoppers since there is snow and weather in the forecast. i was simply trying to get what the fuck was on the list. i had to get gas today as well. the booze costed more than the gas. and i did find everything on the list.

Manchester United lost at Arsenal today, 2-0. United played well for the first 45 minutes. then, the talent gap showed up in the second half.

the Dayton Flyers won last night at home against Western Michigan, 77-69.

The Voice was very good last night. my final 3 is all in the finals.

Hard Knocks was excellent last night.

St. Denis Medical was very funny last night.

NXT was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW, The Masked Singer, two episodes of Abbott Elementary and Inside the NFL.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i am hoping to get my Christmas cards started tomorrow. i don't think i'm sending out as many as i usually do. i think the holiday blues have come early this year.

i need to get started on dinner, so that's all for me today kids.

until tomorrow...

one of these days i'll find the time to write again...

 as i was taking a shower last night at 3:30 AM after shaving, i was trying to come up with something resembling a poem. and the more i tried, the more i realized i had nothing. this might be my first case of writer's block in years. i guess one of these nights it will be time for a little jack daniels and a trip down memory lane to rattle the cages once again.

today has been a busy one for me. i might have got almost 3 hours of sleep last night. i woke up this morning and made some coffee. after checking my emails, i started on breakfast. i told mom i was doing biscuits and gravy as i know she can only have so much of it to fit into her sodium restrictions. and i remembered how she told me about the cold biscuits and gravy she got at the nursing home. she told me after her first bite how much better this was than there. she just got delivered her food for her recovery. it was supposed to come yesterday. i'm happy that it did arrive. even happier i was able to fit the shit in the freezer. now, after i get this done, i need to vacuum the house, make dinner (pork chops, glazed apples and mashed potatoes) and then help mom pay her bills, on time this time.

the New York Rangers played like shit last night and lost at home to Chicago, 5-2. i'm not sure why they fucking suck at home this season.

Saturday Night Live was fucking hilarious last night.

i wasn't surprised when Ohio State made the college football playoffs. i figured once USC lost to Utah, the Buckeyes were going to get the #4 seed. they will take on Georgia in the playoffs.

today at the World Cup, France defeated Poland, 3-1. England beat Senegal, 3-0. France vs. England should be a classic when they face each other in the quarterfinals.

 i'm guessing by now, the fog has burned off. it was pretty thick when i woke up this morning.

the New York Rangers defeated San Jose last night, 1-0. they take on Chicago tonight. 

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

AEW Rampage was really good last night.

the Dayton Flyers play at home this afternoon against Northern Illinois. Dayton is favored by 17.5 points. hopefully, it will be like the last game.

when i get home, i'm going to try to get my Christmas cards done. i'm sure i'll do that while watching some of the college football games.

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

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

humans always get in the way of things...

 so, mom gave me a laundry list of items to go find today. and of course, nothing matches up between the website and the actual store. i had to go to Lowe's to get most of it. just imagine how efficient a store could be if the employees actually knew where shit was... i think i was in there for almost 2 hours. i did find everything i was looking for, but fuck me that took forever. i had some gift cards to use, so that took the total under $100. after that i went to Big Lots, mostly for myself. i found some baseball cards (2020 Topps Heritage), a new Darth Vader coffee mug, a Batman figurine i didn't have, a new toothbrush and i got some Christmas cocoa for mom. i had a coupon for all of that as well. i did find a nice Juan Soto short print in the baseball cards, so that made me happy.

mom gave me money to pick up lunch on the way home. of course, she wanted fish and i wanted Arby's. thankfully, McDonald's is right across the street from Arby's. by the time i got home, not only was i hungry but completely worn out. and of course, mom is on this fucking quest to redo her closet in her bedroom, so my afternoon, while it should've been spent writing this or icing down a horrific bad back... it was spent listening to a stubborn old woman bitch about doing shit wrong, not having enough strength to use a drill, etc. etc. i'm not sure how many fucking times i have to tell her that her pride will be her downfall, but i imagine it will still be said while she is fighting death. fuck me.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

B Positive was very funny last night.

The Unicorn was excellent last night.

The Voice last night was some of the holiday numbers from the past decade or so of the show.

Cari & Jemele Won't Stick to Sports was very good last night.

Miz and Mrs was hilarious last night.

Total Bellas was very good last night.

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 will be on here early tomorrow. Ohio State, Manchester United and Dayton will all be on at the same time tomorrow. hopefully, i will be drinking by tomorrow night.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

well, i certainly didn't expect that...

when i got home from going out to eat with my mother after her physical therapy, i figured i would put on the Manchester United game for shits and giggles. United was playing their old manager today and i figured Tottenham would win. HOLY SHIT. United got 2 goals from Marcus Rashford and won today 2-1. a massive 3 points they desperately needed. and hopefully puts them in a good position for the derby this weekend against City.

i wrote 6 poems today while mom was doing her physical therapy. that gives me 14 for the month so far. not too bad of a start.

the Dayton Flyers played down to their competition last night for the first 10 minutes or so. hell, one of the players from Houston Baptist had more points than Dayton did. i was fucking furious. i had playing down to your competition coached out of me by the age of 13. these guys are in their 20's. fuck me. thankfully, Dayton got their shit together and won the game 99-68. i really wanted them to score a hundred last night. oh well.

The Voice went as i expected last night.

part 1 of the season finale of Total Divas was pretty good last night.

WWE Backstage was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Masked Singer, AEW and NXT.

mom finally got her new walker. it's so much better than the old one. and now that she has her new glasses and can fucking see once again. i'm hoping she gets more confident moving around.

i'm testing that hope tomorrow when we go shopping at Menards.

i will be on here tomorrow sometime in the afternoon most likely, hopefully before the New York Rangers play.

until tomorrow kids...

in a sea of chaos...

so the latest one to burn a bridge sent me a message last night. that certainly gave me a chuckle when i saw it around 2:30 in the morning. i suppose there are some benefits to the television in my room not working.

The Voice last night was really good. i have no clue what 2 are going home tonight.

Monday Night Raw was much better last night, thankfully.

Say Her Name: The Life and Death of Sandra Bland was really powerful last night. i recommend everyone in this country should watch this one.

i woke up this morning to the news that Urban Meyer is going to retire from Ohio State after the Rose Bowl. after watching this season and knowing his health, i think it's certainly time to go.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice, Smackdown and the Saturday Night Live Christmas Special.

i do plan on going to see the Dayton Flyers play Detroit tonight. i think mom is going with me, unless something happens with her before tonight. with it being cold again, all bets are off until she actually gets in the Highlander.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Arsenal. considering how United has been playing recently, get ready for a string of F bombs.

i have trash to pickup and a shower to take before i go to the game tonight.

so that is all for me kids...

sometimes you just need a change

i'm a pretty superstitious person, most of the time. and sometimes, when the shit or "mojo" gets bad, a change is in order. needless to say, after watching the Dayton Flyers lose the way they did last night, i went and got a haircut this afternoon. i think she might have lopped off about a pound of hair. just in time for it to get cold again. joy.

the Dayton Flyers lost last night at Mississippi State 61-59. this was after Dayton had dug themselves out of the 21 point hole they were in at one point in the game. but, leave it to their senior leader, who for some fucking reason, still can't dribble with his left hand at the age of 22, to turn the ball over in the final seconds of a tied game. that was Dayton's 26th turnover of the game. hard to win playing like that. they are really missing Xeyrius Williams at the moment. hopefully they will have him back on Wednesday when they play Tennessee Tech. after watching 7 games, i can see why Archie left. this is the team's worst start since the mid 90's.

thankfully, the New Orleans Saints won yesterday, sweeping the season series over Carolina. they simply have the best running back duo in the NFL. both were really good yesterday in the 31-21 victory. that puts them in first place alone in the division. they next play on Thursday at Atlanta. a victory there and they will have a firm grip on winning the division.

i did do a little poetry work yesterday. i have a pretty good idea where my next 40 or so poems are going. that will be my final submission of the year, most likely. i'm shooting for Thursday to do that. once that is done, i can turn my focus on getting my Christmas cards done.

with that being said, if you'd like to be on my list, be sure you email me your current mailing address. i believe there will be some lucky people getting broadsides this year.

the season finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm was fucking great last night.

Shameless was excellent last night.

SMILF was hilarious last night. man, i do miss doing drugs.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and The Newspaperman: The Life and Times of Ben Bradlee. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

judging from the pile of dirty clothes in my room, i believe tomorrow will be laundry day.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow, before Manchester United plays in the Champions League. all they need is a point to win the group. hopefully that happens.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

no longer blind

i got my new glasses today. the change from my old ones was pretty fucking drastic. i now know just how fucking blind i am without them. these things have improved my vision greatly. i could tell the second i put them on. of course, i'll soon have a headache from all of this.

mom has been sick for nearly all of today. so, i basically have been playing the good son.

i'm still missing the package for her for Christmas. i actually got a package today that had stuff i ordered in it. at least that's a good sign. i got pretty fucking creative this Christmas.

the Dayton Flyers won last night down in that dump in Oxford, Ohio. they had a nice lead in the second half that they nearly shitted away. thankfully, they made enough plays down the stretch to win, 66-62. here are some highlights, voiced over by the head coach. i love a coach that puts the blame on himself. a great way to take pressure off of your players.

Lucha Underground was excellent once again last night. here are some highlights from that:

American Horror Story was awesome last night. the way they are killing off characters this season is delightful. i can't wait for the episode next week.

not sure what i'm going to watch tonight. i'm sure mom will want to watch that live Peter Pan production on NBC. i'm pretty sure i'll stick to the football game.

i need to make sure i check my rosters for tonight, i've got some injury concerns for fantasy football. this is the last week of the regular season in the leagues i'm in.

that's pretty much all for me today. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your time.

blindsided with news

to say i was a little shocked last night when the news came down that the New York Yankees signed Jacoby Ellsbury would be an understatement. i figured he would leave the Red Sox but i never thought the Yankees would sign him. and certainly not to a deal worth $169 million if all the bonuses are met. wow. i should have played baseball.

add to that the news this morning that the New York Rangers have signed The King to a long term contract extension. i am absolutely thrilled they got this done and didn't let it drag out any longer. hopefully, Henrik knows now the expectation is winning the Stanley Cup.

i certainly wasn't surprised when the last 2 facing elimination on The Voice last night was Matthew and James. and when Matthew got eliminated, i immediately said aloud fuck you Christina. he was good enough to win the show but picked the wrong coach. as she is only interested in Jacquie winning. now, i hope Cole wins the show. Adam has 3 of the final 5, so he has the odds. i don't like him as a coach either, so i wouldn't be surprised if he fucks this up as well.

other than that last night, i flipped between some college basketball games and listened to the latest podcast of the Sam Roberts Show Online.

my today is pretty damn packed. Manchester United faces Everton this afternoon. i believe RvP may be back for this game. chances are they will need him. i'd love to see United get a home win over a side higher than them in the table, but i wouldn't be shocked if Moyes somehow fucks this up against his former club.

after that ends it's pretty much right into the car and on my way to watch the Dayton Flyers face Delaware State. what i am hoping to see is Dayton destroy this team and really start to flex the muscles of a top 25 team. they faced this scenario 2 years ago after winning a Thanksgiving tourney and got their asses handed to them by a shitty Buffalo team that only ended up winning 10 games that year. i hope they have learned from their mistakes.

after the game and a bit of food, i'm hoping to get back home in time to see American Horror Story. if not, there's always the repeat that comes on at like 2 in the morning.

not sure what's going on with my computer this morning. not fun when you put in a CD you really want to listen to and it says that it is blank. i'm really not in the mood to try to get this figured out at the moment, so i'm hoping a reboot is all i need to do.

that's all for me today. hope this finds everyone well.
