i think most people around here think i'm nuts when i take the trash out in the winter in shorts. honestly, the cold doesn't bother me. hell, it is the only thing that works on the pain for me, so why would i hate it outside of a cold pack? now, i did throw an extra layer on today as it was much colder given the wind and snow. thankfully, there wasn't much snow while i was out doing the grocery shopping. i did get a good bit of food so we would have plenty of meals to choose from this week. given the current finances, eating out will be even more rare than usual now. that said, the grocery shopping went well today, other than the cashier at Kroger thinking she needed to scan everything as fast as possible. like i can bag 30 different items with a snap of my fingers... good times.
so, i did watch the finale of The Voice last night. i did have the winner and he was on my team the entire season.
NXT was very good last night.
Hard Knocks was good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, The Masked Singer and Inside the NFL.
the New York Rangers play tonight at Buffalo. hopefully they will find a way to win tonight.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the Europa League.
i did make it to the post office today. so, now all the Christmas cards have been mailed. hard to believe Christmas is only 2 weeks from now.
i need to get going and get dinner started.

before i get to my excitement about the Yankees becoming The Evil Empire once again, i have a little news to pass on...
just saw the news that Lyn Lifshin has died at 77. i have been published with Lyn just about everywhere in the last 20 some years. she was always a kind soul when we would talk online. i'll raise a glass for you tonight. may you rest in peace. http://dougholder.blogspot.com/2019/12/poet-lyn-lifshin-has-passed-at-77.html
the New York Yankees signed Gerrit Cole, the pitcher they have been after for 11 years, to a 9 year, $324 Million dollar contract. HOLY FUCK. the scary thing is, he's worth every fucking penny. and if he is the difference between them making the playoffs and winning the World Series, he will absolutely become a legend in New York.
the New York Rangers lost last night at the Kings, 3-1. the Rangers turned down way too many shots and they made Jonathan Quick look like his old self.
The Voice went exactly as i expected last night. it's the first time in 7 seasons that each coach has a singer in the finals.
the season finale of Total Divas was really good last night.
WWE Backstage was excellent last night.
The Masked Singer was very good last night. my guess was correct once again.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:

i wrote 9 poems today while mom was doing her physical therapy. i typed those up this afternoon when we got home from lunch at Bob Evans. i will definitely be doing another round of submissions, probably in the next few days.
i'm hoping to get up early tomorrow morning and get my blood work out of the way. i have to get that done for an appointment in January. mom mentioned something about wanting to get her hair done tomorrow. so, that means i'll be getting the mop cut off from my head as well.
i'll probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the Europa League. with a win tomorrow, United would win the group.
that's all for me kids. until tomorrow...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i might have got to sleep around 4 in the morning. i was back up at 8. it's not quite insomnia anymore. it's the morose nature of this existence in the winter. the hours seem endless and my brain simply has no desire to shut off. add in a good four or five hundred words i had to get off my chest with a former (maybe still, maybe not, who the fuck knows) friend. last night was one of those where there was no fucking way i was going to get anything resembling good sleep.
the New York Rangers had a good first period last night. that was about where all the good stopped. the Rangers lost last night at Tampa Bay 6-3. oh well.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night, especially the ending.
the Vice News Special Report last night about the untold stories of the 2008 financial collapse was very, very interesting. it would be even better if the dumb fucks in this country would actually understand how close we were to a great depression again and how much of the money given has already been paid back with interest. instead, these dumb fucks went and elected an asshole New York con man and thought he was going to save them. idiots.
The Voice was really good last night. i have no damn clue which 4 are going to make the finals tonight. i figure someone i really like is going to make it and someone else is going to get cut. all 8 have real talent.
i did watch a little of the Monday Night Football game last night between Minnesota and Seattle.
it was also good to see the Sacramento Kings win last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown and The Voice.
a big thank you to Jonathan Hayes for sending me a copy of his new book of poems, A Full Moon in Santa Cruz. it was an excellent, quick read.
i'll be on here tomorrow after i take mom to get her MRI on her back. of course, that is scheduled at the same time that Manchester United will be playing in the Champions League.
i better get going and try to get the trash done before it gets dark.
i hope everyone had a good day. until next time kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
when Manchester United lost yesterday, 2-1, i was fucking livid. they had opportunities in the game to get a point or even better, not have the two defensive mistakes and maybe steal all 3 points. instead. they are now 11 points out of first place in the league. so, i suppose the goal is now finish in the top 4 and do well in the FA Cup and Champions League. they got Sevilla in that draw this morning. it could have been worse. they next play on Wednesday against Bournemouth.
i think i was pissed until i got the email from Chiron Review last night. i can't wait for the world to read the poem that got accepted by them. it might be one of the best ones i have ever written.
Shameless last night was excellent.
SMILF was fucking hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Happening: A Clean Energy Revolution and The Voice. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
The New York Rangers play at home tonight against Dallas. i'd love to see the boys get another win tonight.
i went to the bank today before mom and i went to the grocery store. there was no one in line at the bank, so that went quickly. as for the grocery store, not so much. mom had a damn scroll to get. apparently she didn't remember everything when she gave me the list on Friday. oh well. at least we got home in time for the New York Yankees press conference.
the Yankees trade for Giancarlo Stanton became official today. holy shit, next season is going to be fun.
it did warm up some today, so most of the snow has melted. of course, i think there's a good chance for some snow tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
