when mom saw how much laundry i did yesterday she was shocked. how in the hell... i just laughed. i have had to adapt over the years and be able to make sure she's ok while also doing my laundry, answering emails, doing the blog, remembering to eat and take my pills, let alone make sure she eats and takes her pills, etc. etc. it is almost to the point where i feel like if i'm not doing a thousand things at the same time, i get antsy. i don't want it to be that way, but it is. oh well.
had a fun time driving home from mom's physical therapy appointment. some jackass on the highway gave me roughly six inches of room to squeeze in the lane. what really pissed me off was there was no one in the left lane, so he could have easily got his ass over to let me in and then went on his way. i got around the semi i almost hit trying to get on the highway. and then the asshole that barely gave me any room started following me. i noticed him in my mirror and thought, if you follow me home motherfucker, i will kill you. thankfully for him, he turned to go towards the fast food restaurants.
i did write 5 poems today while mom was doing her physical therapy. i typed those up this afternoon, i really like them.
i did watch plenty of football games yesterday, even made some money.
Big Brother was good last night.
Billions was excellent last night. the series finale is next week.
Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.
Shining Vale was hilarious last night.
Power Book IV: Force was great last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw and The Voice.
i'm sure i will watch some of the game tonight between the 49ers and the Vikings.
hell, i might watch some of the baseball playoffs since there is a Game 7 tonight.
i did listen to episode 470 of Notsam Wrestling today. you can hear that by going here:
so, after the Ohio State game yesterday (more on that in a bit) i went out to clean the windows. between the wind, my bad back and busting my knuckles trying to get hoses on and off, there was no combination of ice, alcohol and drugs that could have taken the pain away. joy.
Ohio State defeated Iowa yesterday, 54-10. honestly, the game felt closer than that for most of it. Ohio State's defense played great yesterday. Ohio State plays at Penn State next week.
Manchester United got a late goal from Casemiro to earn a 1-1 draw at Chelsea.
the New York Yankees lost yesterday at home to Houston, 5-0. i fully expect them to get swept tonight in Game 4. and i truly hope, Hal Steinbrenner grows a set of balls after that and lets Cashman go (he's been there long enough) and fires Aaron Boone. it is well beyond obvious now that something needs to change.
here are your highlights from the MLB playoffs yesterday:
The Caverns Sessions had The Watkins Family Hour on last night. it was excellent.
Austin City Limits was great last night.
NXT Halloween Havoc was really good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Let The Right One In and the season finale for Power Book III: Raising Kanan.
the New York Rangers play at home tonight against the Columbus Blue Jackets. hopefully, the Rangers will get back to winning.

so, my sister got here last night and mom sent her to get some food. i put my phone down over by my chair and turned around and my mother had fallen again. she doesn't know what happened, so now i'm wondering if she's having blackouts. and of course, my brain immediately jumped to she has a tumor or something in her brain that is causing this shit. now, the more likely scenario is she tripped over her shoes or the side of her chair as she was getting to her walker. i swear, i am going to handcuff that fucking thing to her so she always has it near her. after i got her up, i told her, and you wonder why i'm going to be an addict soon.
Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.
AEW Rampage was very good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was very funny last night.

one thing i hate about politics in this country is all the fucking email i get sent to me about either party. it's beyond tempting to just fucking delete them, especially since i have already voted. and no, i didn't watch the fucking debate. no, i'm not sending you money i don't have. this shit can't get over quick enough.
Big Brother went as i expected last night. Cody evicted Christmas. i guess Nicole won the first part of the final HOH of the season. that means Cody has to take on Enzo to see who faces Nicole in the final part of the HOH.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.
i did watch some of the Giants vs. Eagles game last night. i guess i turned it off too soon as the Eagles came back to win, 22-21.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Big Brother, WWE Talking Smack and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
of course, we're supposed to have a huge line of storms come through here tonight, so i doubt i get to see much of the shows.
my last load of laundry is in the dryer. i still need to shave and shower. there simply aren't enough hours in the day anymore.
i stumbled across some David Wells rookie cards today while going through an old shoebox. that was a nice find, especially since i have 4 of them (1988 Donruss).
i have a nice problem tomorrow. Ohio State and Manchester United will be playing at the same time. hopefully, both will win.
i'm going to try to be on here before those games start tomorrow.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
i have clothes to go fold.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so i got up this morning, showered and was ready to go have a camera put down my throat to check my upper GI. the doctor's office called and asked if i could come early. i said yeah. so, my sister and i headed to the hospital. i checked in, filled out the paperwork. a few minutes later, i got called to the back. i filled out more paperwork, signed a few things and changed clothes, etc. etc. then, the anesthesiologist came in and voiced her concerns. she started out making sure i wouldn't take this the wrong way about my weight, which i immediately knew was going to be some bullshit about being fat, and that was exactly what it was. she was uncomfortable about doing the procedure because of my weight. she was afraid i would die and they don't have anything on hand to bring me back. i almost told her to just roll the fucking dice, i've lived enough. my blood pressure and oxygen levels were fine. the doctor came in and apologized, said he didn't think it was going to be a big deal. so, i had to get dressed and wait 10 fucking minutes for them to take me back to the front so i could reschedule the procedure at a hospital. mind you, this place is technically a hospital, but more thought of as outpatient facility. so, i'm sitting there and the woman that does the scheduling tells me they are already scheduling out to February 2020, so she couldn't do anything for me. i left, got my sister in the waiting room, and i was fucking fuming. did they not know i was heavy in the 3 previous visits to the office? my sister was truly fucking pissed. she took a day off of work to do this for me. i drove home so i could finally eat breakfast before noon. mom was a little stunned to see us back so soon.
now, part two of my venting. the battery on my car keys had died, so i went to the place where i got the lifetime guarantee to have it replaced. i was a little concerned, since my mother's name was on the card. thankfully, that didn't matter and within 5 minutes of walking in, i was walking out with a fresh battery and no charge at all. i went and got what mom wanted for lunch and she told me that the doctor's office called. i checked the message after i got done with lunch. so, two fucking hours after i sat there and they said they couldn't schedule anything, they called and gave me the number to call to schedule it. i wouldn't be pissed if the number was something other than the office number to have them schedule an appointment for you. and to top of all the bullshit today, the orthopedic doctor i was supposed to see in November about my fucked up neck isn't going to be in the office on the day of my appointment. so, i need to call them and reschedule.
and as much as i try not to do this, these are the days i punish myself for not following through on the purest thought i had when i was 8 years old. i imagine i will call the places tomorrow morning before i have physical therapy. or maybe i won't call them back at all. maybe tonight is the night i dance with Dylan Thomas and we see which fucker makes it under the table first.
the New York Rangers lost in OT last night to Arizona, 3-2. oh well, that's 5 losses in a row now.
The Voice was pretty good last night.
Total Divas was hilarious last night.
The Jim Jefferies Show was excellent last night.
Mr. Mercedes was great last night.
Mayans M.C. was fucking awesome last night.

i did watch a little of the NBA games last night. here are some highlights:
i know Manchester United plays in the Europa League tomorrow. here is a preview:
i'm probably going to do the blog after my physical therapy session tomorrow, unless i get a wild hair up my ass and do it in the morning.
and i get the feeling i may have to unleash some shit on some empty pages tonight.
ah, the life of a poet. every memory is a fucking scar on my brain and i'm chasing shadows that relish every chance they get to fuck me over. imagine the tragedy if i was actually loved.
until tomorrow kids...

the last 20 hours or so have been fucking crazy. i suppose i should start with last night.
as a pro wrestling fan, i am somewhat conditioned to think everything is a work. and i've been watching long enough to spot little clues and shit like that. so, when Roman Reigns came out in street clothes last night, i knew something was up. i had seen reports earlier in the day that he was injured, so i was figuring it was that. when he started his promo off apologizing and saying his real name was Joe, i knew it was much more than just an injury. and when he mentioned that he had leukemia and now it was back, i was fucking stunned. of course, the cynical bastard inside of me goes well, Vince finally found a way to make him the top babyface in the company. when Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose came out and both were crying, i lost it. and to think that the night ended with Seth and Dean winning the tag titles and then Dean turning heel on Seth, this was one of those Monday Night Raw episodes that will go down in history.
The Voice was really good last night.
i did watch Stolen Daughters: Kidnapped by Boko Haram on HBO last night. that was one tough documentary to get through without feeling a hole repeatedly punched into your stomach. i urge EVERYONE to watch this.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Jim Jefferies Show, Mayans M.C. and The Voice.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Florida. i will probably watch some of that.
i know the World Series starts tonight. i couldn't give two shits.
so, i got mom to her eye surgery on time today. as they were taking us back, the nurse told us we were there really early. mom told her the appointment was at 2:30. the nurse said she has it at 3:30. well, fuck me. mom showed me the paperwork when we got home, it said 2:30 on it. so, we had to sit in the room for a good hour or so before they took mom in around 3. she said this one felt different and she's complaining a lot more than she did last week for the right eye. i told her maybe it was more scar tissue they had to remove or something. hopefully, it will feel better by tomorrow. i know she goes to the eye doctor next Tuesday to make sure everything looks good. fingers crossed. thankfully, i did bring my little notebook along. i wrote 9 poems today. i'll type them up sometime soon. that fills the little notebook up.
i did watch the beginning of Manchester United vs. Juventus when i was at the hospital. i told mom that i didn't think United would win today. i was right again. Juventus won 1-0. oh well.
mom wanted to go out to eat after her procedure. for some fucking reason, she wanted Bob Evans. nothing like eating lunch at 4. i had some turkey. mom basically had dinner. joy.
on the way home, a motorcyclist told me my right tail light was out. i believe that's the same fucking light mom had Toyota fix over the summer. joy.
i need to get the trash picked up here and next door. so, that's all for me kids.
i have no damn clue when i'll be on here tomorrow.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
the New Orleans Saints started off rather poorly yesterday. it certainly felt like they thought they could waltz right into Green Bay and win since Aaron Rodgers wasn't playing for the Packers. thankfully, the team got their asses in gear in the second half and won 26-17. considering they only allowed the Packers to score 3 points in the second half, i was pretty pleased with the win. next up for the first place Saints (man, that felt weird to type) will be a home game against Chicago.
Ray Donovan was excellent last night. the season finale next week looks like it should be amazing.
The Deuce was really good last night. i believe that season finale is next week as well.
Vice Principals was pretty fucking funny last night.
Curb Your Enthusiasm was fucking hilarious last night.
WWE TLC was either really good or what the fuck was that last night. i loved that Asuka is now on the main roster. the AJ Stlyes vs. Finn Balor match was great. hopefully that match will happen again at Survivor Series. the main event of the evening was overbooked but, if you weren't expecting much, was really fucking crazy good. i was totally expecting the Kurt Angle gets taken to the back and then makes a return 15 or 20 minutes later. i wasn't expecting Kurt to get the victory for The Shield. i also wasn't expecting The Miz, Cesaro, Sheamus and Kane to turn on Braun Strowman either. so, i guess that means Braun will be a babyface now and just destroy whomever he fucking feels like. works for me. Monday Night Raw should be interesting tonight.
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 Rangers play at home tonight against San Jose. it would be nice to see the Rangers actually win 2 games in a row.
the rain that was supposed to be here last night didn't arrive until late this morning. that made it real fun to drive my mother to her appointment. as i told her on the drive home, it won't be insanity that makes me kill everyone, it will be my fucking arthritis.
her hip is doing really good. everyone is hoping that her next injection in her back helps the bursitis she's dealing with at the moment. if not, she'll have to get a cortisone injection in that to help ease that pain. but, she should be able to go back on her medicine for her arthritis now instead of slowly killing her liver with Tylenol.
i'll be on here tomorrow sometime after Manchester United plays at Swansea City in the League Cup.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
when you live and die with sports teams, anger has a certain way of just draining everything out of you.
Ohio State was cruising along last night, up 21-7. then, they made the horrific mistake that young teams do sometimes, and took their foot off the gas. as someone who has watched sports for 40 years now, i knew what was coming next. sure enough, Penn State defeated Ohio State last night 24-21. it was a comedy of fucking errors on special teams and the offensive line that did the Buckeyes in. plus, the coach had a rare shitty night as well. now, i wonder how far they fall in the polls.
the New York Rangers were down 2-0 after the first period last night. i wasn't a happy man. by the end of the second period, i was very happy. the Rangers scored 3 goals in the 2nd and went on to defeat Washington 4-2 last night. that's a good character builder that they should be able to use all season long. they play again tonight at home against Arizona.
the Red and Blue Game yesterday at the University of Dayton was good. the women's team is going through a little rebuilding stage now that the longtime coach has left. they still have some good players, but i could see them struggling some this upcoming season. the men's team looked really good. they have 4 talented seniors that should carry the load most of the season. the biggest surprise for me was how much better the sophomore class looked. they looked like they are really ready to contribute. here are some highlights from yesterday:
after the game, i had to go to the grocery store to get more of mom's medications. the pharmacy closed at 6, so i was in a bit of a hurry. nothing i hate more than shitty drivers when i have somewhere to be. thankfully, i got there in plenty of time. and then i brought home some food for mom and i, a late lunch i guess.
Saturday Night Live was really good last night.
Austin City Limits was excellent last night.
ROH was really good last night as well.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Strain, Shameless, Masters of Sex, Westworld, Divorce, Insecure and Last Week Tonight.
Manchester United plays at Chelsea later this morning. this is a big game, not only for the club but also for The Special One. hopefully i'm enjoying a victory beer later today.
the New Orleans Saints play at the Chiefs today. i'm hoping for the best but i'm a realist. they are a different team outside of the dome.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday will be even better.

i made sure to get some extra alcohol when mom and i were at the grocery store today. i get the feeling i'm going to need it with all the cancer talk going around and my sister getting ready to board a flight to South Africa. i caught myself checking out ring fingers today at the grocery store. i'm taking that as a sign that my loneliness is starting to get to me now.
for Flashback Friday today, i want to change it up a bit. i want to shine a light on one of my favorite zines EVER, Zygote In My Coffee. Brian was kind enough to publish me so many damn times. as a poet, you can never find those type of humans enough. go to the site: www.zygoteinmycoffee.com and check out the back issues. i'm in the first one and a ton of the others. but also check out all the other writers in the issues. and bookmark the site for when you need something to read. it's worth it.
WWE Smackdown was pretty good last night. i was very pleased with how Tyler Breeze made his debut:
the New York Rangers fell behind last night. unlike previous games, they stormed back and won 4-1. and a few of the guys got off the snide. plus, The King was The King once again.
i wrote another poem last night. i'm holding off on typing the newly written ones up as i feel i have a ton of shit right at the tip of my tongue.
i hardly watched any of the NFL game last night. from what i heard, i didn't miss much. i did pick the game right though.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
i'm hoping to go to the Red-Blue game tomorrow to see what the UD basketball teams look like. but, i have no clue if i will have a way there. mom is talking like she's going to go up to the hospital to see her brother and i have no fucking clue if she's going to be home in time for me to get to the arena. so, i may be trying to find shit on YouTube if i don't go.
on the DVR tonight will be Undateable, NJPW and The Knick. that should be an excellent night of television.
i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i imagine if i get a wild hair up my ass, i may try to bust a post out in the morning. but, with most of my sports not starting until the evening, it could be the rare morning i sleep in. ok, i laughed at that as well. that never fucking happens.
i'm sitting here watching hurricane coverage of what is approaching Mexico. i once had a girlfriend named Patricia. vaya con dios mis amigos. this storm looks fucking horrible on the radar.
that's all for me today kids. i hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. as always, call if you need bail money.

so i woke up this morning to snowflakes and the need to take a shit for the first time in 41 hours. thankfully, it was just a dusting, the snow that is. the shit was like dropping boulders off a skyscraper. painful for those below.
changed our water filter today. amazingly, it wasn't nearly as bad as i feared it would be after 2 weeks. maybe it's slowly getting back to normal.
back on the winter tip, another damn freeze warning here tonight. i'm typing this as i sit and look at the corn still in the damn field. not good.
watched Manchester United in Champions League play this afternoon. had a bad feeling about today as 3 main pieces were missing from the team. not even on the bench. thankfully, United started out strong and got a lucky own goal to go ahead just 69 seconds in the game. i thought this will be the game they break out of their doldrums. shows what i know. they created chance after chance, hit a couple more posts, but didn't score. thankfully, the opponent never scored either. i'll gladly take the 3 points and the victory beer. but, this team needs to wake the fuck up soon. and in case anyone wonders why most of the United fans have been begging for Kagawa to be playing, today was the perfect example of why he should always be in the lineup. perhaps Moyes saw that or maybe he was sitting on his hands wondering where he was coaching once again.
i did watch the African Americans on PBS last night. being the history junkie that i am, i was very interested in it. and by not choosing to live my life as an ignorant white American, i pretty much knew everything that was talked about in it. but, it was still a good episode. i do plan on watching the entire series.
The Voice was pretty good last night though the battle round i wanted to see was just a 30 second highlight. the knockout rounds should be pretty interesting. i don't think any surprises made it this far so far.
tonight is the season finale of Duck Dynasty. also, i will be watching American Horror Story. hopefully both of those episodes are good tonight. i might flip to the World Series tonight. might not. i really don't care.
always fun to get on the internet after a few hours away and realize your favorite goalie, who happens to be your starting goalie in fantasy hockey as well, is injured and won't even be on the bench tomorrow night. i always feared this road trip to start this season was going to become the trip from hell for the New York Rangers. with Nash, Cally, and the King now all injured, my fears have become one shitty reality. not good.
i didn't get all the guys i wanted for fantasy football. so, this morning basically became a scramble to get some decent guys. on one team, i have 5 guys on a bye week. that was fun. hopefully my picks pay off for me.
with it being Pearl Jam week on Jimmy Fallon this week, i've been getting to sleep a little later than normal. if i have any energy left after one of these nights, maybe i'll do some writing. i know i need to bust out a few here soon.
that's pretty much all for today. be sure to check out the new podcasts on the right hand side of this blog. some really good ones in case you need to fill some time in your day with a distraction or two. hope this finds everyone well.
