and now, the rain...

 i swear, anytime i actually might get some sleep, there is something to ruin it. today, the lawn company that does our yard was out here at 9 AM. i could hear them in the back as the phone was ringing. fuck me. i'm pretty sure i got something close to 6 hours of sleep, which might as well be a fucking coma for me. but damn, i needed more and the rain this afternoon proved exactly why i needed more.


i did write 3 poems today while mom was in physical therapy. i typed them up when we got home. i really think i have some very good poems to send out soon.


AEW Dynamite was good last night.








The Masked Singer was crazy as usual.



the part 1 finale of American Horror Story was very good last night. i can't wait for part 2.



enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother and NJPW.


the New York Rangers play at home tonight against Nashville.




the New Orleans Saints play at home tonight against Jacksonville.






i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to her doctor's appointment.


i guess the rain is going to be on and off for the next few days. just great. 


i need to figure out dinner, so that's all for me kids.


until tomorrow...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck war.

no rest for the wicked...

 the Yankees won yesterday over Cleveland, 5-1. they will play Game 1 of the ALCS tonight in Houston. i'm hoping for the best for the boys, but considering how they played against Houston this season, i don't have my hopes up.








NXT was very good last night.









AEW Dynamite was good last night.





The Voice was excellent last night.





Tales From The Territories last night was about the AWA.



Deadliest Catch was really good last night.



enjoy some music:





and now some of this and that:








on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Masked Singer and two episodes of American Horror Story: NYC.


i had to take mom to get her glasses today. that was a comedy of errors. first, they tried to give mom the wrong glasses. and then, it took the lady a few minutes to realize that she had talked to my mother on the phone for the last few weeks. mom is afraid they are just her old lenses as she can't really tell any difference. i hoping that changes in the next few days.


then, after i took her home, i went grocery shopping. after three stores, i got everything on the list. it took forever, but i figured it would. at least i got home to see the last 5 minutes of the Manchester United game.


Manchester United defeated Tottenham today, 2-0. from everything i saw on the highlights, it looked like their best game of the year so far. hopefully, that is a sign of things to come. Fred and Bruno scored the goals today.



here are your NBA highlights from last night:



i will probably watch some of the New York Knicks tonight.


i have a friend coming into the state tomorrow that i am hoping to meet up with at some point, so i am going to try to get the blog done in the morning. it will definitely be done before i have to take mom to physical therapy tomorrow.


until tomorrow kids...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck war.


fuck the police.

stay healthy.


wash your fucking hands.


stay off the fucking streets.

not exactly how i wanted to start my day...

 now, i'm sure most people believe that i am spoiled as a Yankees fan. of course, most of them don't realize i was a Yankees fan back in 1982, long before the 90's dynasty spawned a ton of annoying fucks. but, given my hatred of losing and love of winning, these last few years as a Yankees fan has been hard to swallow. so, to see them sign Aaron Boone to a 3 year contract extension today was a bit infuriating. maybe they are trying to redefine insanity now. i'm not sure if just changing a few coaches is really going to change the mojo of the team. Hal might have to actually channel his father and go spend some money on some big names again and hope it all clicks. and as much as i hate to say it, i almost wish the Red Sox win the World Series so the Yankees go nuts and really go big on everything.







the New York Rangers stole a win last night in Toronto. they won 2-1 in OT. Igor Shesterkin had 40 saves last night and absolutely stole the show. Panarin scored in OT. they next play Thursday in Nashville.






The Voice was really good last night.






Monday Night Raw was good last night.









enjoy some music:





and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and NXT. 


the NBA season kicks off tonight, so i'll probably watch some basketball tonight.


i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done and after Manchester United plays in the Champions League.



i did write a poem this morning that i think is really good. hopefully, i can squeeze a few more out real soon.


that's all for me kids. i have to get all the trash ready to go out and figure out what the fuck is for dinner tonight.


until tomorrow...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck the police.


black lives matter.


stay healthy.


wash your fucking hands.


stay socially distant.


get the shot.

it's not easy doing math on the fly in a damn zoo...

i don't know what makes the grocery store a fucking zoo at 2 in the afternoon on a Friday in October. is it the possibility of fucking snow in the air tomorrow night? is it the rush to get shit done before high school football? is it the need to buy lottery tickets? ok, i do understand that one. if the line wouldn't have been 15 fucking people deep at the time, i probably would have got some tickets as well. anyways, i was able to get everything on the list and keep it under $100. mom was fucking shocked.

a little poetry update. i did send out 23 poems this morning. 3 to Red Eft Review (already heard back, 1 accepted for publication) and 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Academy Of The Heart And Mind, Fourth & Sycamore and North of Oxford. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

i did watch plenty of LeBron's first game for the Lakers last night. now, as a Sacramento Kings fan, to watch the Lakers lose was delicious to see. but, i am also a LeBron fan and i am fascinated to see the circus this season with him on the Lakers. let's just say, he didn't disappoint last night.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty funny last night.

Young Sheldon was very funny last night.

Will & Grace was fucking hilarious last night. i swear the show is just as good as it was back in the day.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW, Real Time with Bill Maher and Pod Save America.

i'll probably watch some hockey at some point tonight as well.

i will be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays at Chelsea in the morning.

i'm not expecting to be in a good mood.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

ahead of schedule

it's hard for me to even imagine the New York Yankees are 1 win away from going to the World Series. before i get deep into that, a couple of things first...

mom had her appointment this morning cancelled. she's on an antibiotic for an ear infection and the doctor didn't want to give her steroids while on that. at least they called before i made the drive down there.

i heard back from Larissa at Rose Red Review on my poetry submission from back in July. she thanked me for the submission but informed she has decided to close Rose Red Review. so, that's 6 more poems back in circulation now.

the Yankees got some great pitching yesterday and finally solved their nemesis to defeat Houston 5-0 to go up 3 -2 in the ALCS. i loved that the Houston players admitted after the game that the Yankee Stadium crowd got to them in the 3 games. the Yankees will go to the World Series if they win Game 6 in Houston on Friday night. this will probably be the most jacked i have been for a baseball game since 2009.

Manchester United won 1-0 yesterday against Benfica in the Champions League. that pretty much guarantees that United will make it out of the group stage. the game was truly fucking boring and if it wasn't for Benfica's goalkeeper making a huge mistake, i doubt there would have been a goal scored in the game. the injuries that United have at the moment are truly catching up with them.

NXT was excellent last night.

Lucha Underground was fucking spectacular last night. i hope to hell there's a season 4 coming soon.

Total Bellas was pretty good last night. that season finale will be next week.

You're the Worst was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Chris Gethard Show, Better Things, Gotham, Will & Grace and Fuck, That's Delicious Classics.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. you can find that by going here:
http://notsam.com/wrestlingpodcast/2017/10/18/wrestling-podcast-156-robbie-e-conrad-thompson

i haven't really got into the NBA season starting yet. i think i might actually give a shit about it once Christmas rolls around.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the fucking Islanders. if the Rangers lose this game, i'm really hoping the GM knows it's time for a fucking change. be it players or the coaches, do fucking something before the whole damn season is lost.

i think i'm going to be a true asshole and make a trip to the grocery store now. i love going once in a while where i'm around people who just got off of work. i fully come across with that i've been retired since i was 26 look. it's fun at times.

i have to go today because if i go tomorrow and the Yankees lose Game 6, then it's my fault. hello, my name is fucked in the head. pleased to meet you.

that's all for me today kids.

got a haircut today...

got a haircut today from a woman that i don't think believes in climate change. but, it's amazing the amount of bullshit i'll put up with from a beautiful woman. if we do meet again Casey, i'll do a better job of explaining why you should be concerned of warmer weather all year round.

of course, being out of the house for a few minutes today was good. sadly, i had nearly 100 emails when i got back home. it never fails.

Vice News Tonight was excellent last night.

The Voice finished the battle rounds last night. if the next round is as good as this was, this could be the best season of The Voice ever.

Smackdown was pretty good last night. i enjoyed the main event more than i probably should have. and Dean Ambrose might have just jumped his way into my top 10 wrestlers of all time when he buried John Cena when he declared James Ellsworth the winner by DQ last night. that's a good way to keep two feuds burning at once, AJ Styles and John Cena. all in all, a very good show.

Scream Queens was fucking hilarious last night.

Atlanta was brilliant once again. it also reminded me why i quit going to clubs in my 20's.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lucha Underground, Lip Sync Battle, American Horror Story, You're The Worst, Total Bellas and Any Given Wednesday. at some point tonight i'll watch NXT on WWE Network.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Detroit. hopefully i'll be enjoying a victory beer later on tonight.

i am thrilled that this fucking election cycle in this country is nearly fucking over. as someone who can't stand the political process, it's fucking unbearable.

i'm not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. i have to take mom to the doctor in the morning and Manchester United plays in the Europa League in the afternoon. if all goes well, maybe after the game i'll be on here. of course, when the fuck is that the case?

that's all for me kids. take it easy and then take it again.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

a cold sunshine

there was a frost advisory for this morning. all i woke up to was cold sunshine. the guy who farms out here got some more of the corn off. he would have got it all off if it wouldn't have started raining. but, he got about 2 truck fulls off. hopefully there's about another 2 + left to take off.

Ohio State destroyed Rutgers yesterday 56-17. they are slowly reaching their potential.

ROH was excellent last night. i really enjoyed the match between Adam Cole and Cedric Alexander.

Nine Inch Nails was great on Austin City Limits. NIN is one of the bands i have always wanted to see live. hopefully i get to do that before i die.

the college football games were nuts as usual. i did catch the ending to the Florida St. and Notre Dame game. i was stunned the refs actually made the right call at the end.

i did get to see the season finale of The Knick finally. another great episode. i can't wait for the next season of that show.

today is my usual crazy shit mix of sports and Sunday night television. the Saints play at Detroit. hopefully they can get a road win. it should be an interesting one. i don't have many fantasy football players playing during the day today. most of them are tonight or on Monday night. so, i'm not expecting any fireworks today. the Rangers play in the late afternoon against San Jose. i'm going to try to catch most of that. they have juggled all the lines up, so i'm really interested to see how the new mix does against a really good team.

and then my usual clusterfuck of Sunday night viewing. Boardwalk Empire starts off my night. and then two episodes of Total Divas. then a piss break/fantasy football update until Last Week Tonight comes on. then, it's over to Showtime to watch Homeland and The Affair. i got some good sleep last night so i think i should be able to make it. of course, a couple of victory beers and all bets are off.

i still have to feed the cats and take the trash down. thankfully, breakfast has agreed with me this morning. but, i'd like to get all that done before noon so i'm going to have to wrap this little party up for now.

i'll be on here tomorrow probably after Manchester United plays in the afternoon.

hope everyone is doing great after their Saturday night of debauchery. of course, that could just be my imagination. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
