for some damn reason, Menards has my mother's shipping address as our old farm, but the bills all come to the house. mom alerted them to this when she ordered some things from there, but of course Menards did nothing. so, mom saw last night that it was delivered to the farm. i told her we might as well drive out there, it's probably still on the fucking porch.
i can't believe the number of trees that have been cut down. they have cleared so much and wonder why it floods down at the end of the lane. the family living there now have done a pretty nice job with the house. they are running a little business there as well. the upgrades they made to the porch and summer kitchen was stuff we always wanted to do but never had the money for it. and yes, the package was right where i thought it would be. after that trip, mom wanted Taco Bell. that pretty much summed up a night in a small town.
i think i finished the 8th poem i wrote last night around 3 in the morning. i definitely hopped on a wave last night and rode the fucker to death. i typed those 8 poems up this morning. a few are really fucking good. the total brings me to more than 30 poems this month. so, that goal has been met. i think i will do some poetry submissions in early December and call it a year then. i'd like to actually trick myself into thinking i'm looking forward to Christmas this year.
my plan mostly worked yesterday. i figured if i did the grocery shopping while Manchester United was playing, they would do well. sure enough, when i got home from the store they were up 3-0. they eventually won the game over Watford 4-2. that cuts the deficit in the league back down to 5 points. hopefully City will fuck up today and leave it there.
the grocery store wasn't nearly as crowded as i thought it was going to be yesterday. i was able to find everything on the list. i had to restock the freezer, but i was able to keep the bill under $140.
the New York Rangers lost last night to Florida 5-4. they were in a 3-0 hole after the first period. i guess when you grind your goalie into the ground with so many damn starts in a row, it's bound to happen. but, the Rangers also have had a shitty tendency this season to start games sometime around the second period. it's not a way to have a successful season, i know that much. the Rangers got back into the game, eventually tying the game at 4-4. they should have had the lead by then, but the replay officials in Toronto have no damn clue what goalie interference actually is. Florida scored late in the 3rd to win the game 5-4. i would have loved for the Rangers to at least get a point out of that game. the division is going to be fucking crazy this season and every single fucking point will matter.
Smackdown was pretty good last night. i do love where they are going with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.
205 Live was pretty good last night as well.
Drop the Mic was really fucking good last night.
The Voice was its usual travesty last night. what happens nearly every fucking season on this show is some lousy fucking country singer will stay and some black soul singer will be voted off. it never fails.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Total Divas and Bruno Mars: 24K Magic Live at the Apollo. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
mom and i are going to the Dayton Flyers vs. Auburn game tonight. i think she's feeling up to it. it's supposed to be close to a sellout tonight. Dayton has never lost to Auburn, although i think that might change tonight. the game is on nationally on CBS Sports Network.
that's all for me today kids. hopefully i will be on here tomorrow with good news.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
today was one of those days that i wish my mother wouldn't have sold off the guns. we got some rain last night and i suppose, it's possible that our neighbor's yard might have grown 1/8 of an inch since he last cut it. sure enough, at 10 this morning, he's mowing the grass. if that's not grounds for shooting someone, i'm not sure what is.
by this afternoon, my headache was at the point where i just had to get into bed and wish for death. my luck i'm developing migraines at 40. i suppose enjoying life simply wasn't in the cards for me.
remember when the New York Yankees were at .500 and i was happy that the team was starting to show signs of life? yeah, neither do i. they have only won 1 game since then and got swept by Toronto last night. the score was 7-0. it never felt that close. they play a make up game in Detroit tonight. i won't bother to watch.
NXT was really good last night. i thought it did a decent job setting up the live Takeover event next week.
Lucha Underground was good last night as well. the match between Cage and Mantanza was off the charts great.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be WWE Smackdown and Lip Sync Battle.
i did watch the 3rd period and OT last night of the hockey game. i was happy to see San Jose finally score. i wasn't happy to see the Penguins go up 2-0 in the series. but, a series isn't a series until the home team loses. now they go to San Jose.
tonight is game 1 of the NBA Finals. it should be a really interesting one since Cleveland is healthy, unlike last season.
i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade last night and this morning. i'll put the links in the music section.
that's about all my head can take today. until tomorrow children.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
i know ONE thing i will not fucking miss when i move away from the farm... this shitty internet that Frontier Communications sells us. holy fucking shit. i've seen old people fuck faster than this today. thank god i haven't been trying to post anything important today. seriously, i would suggest you get AIDS rather than do business with this fucking company.
i bounced around the channels last night, eventually settling on some UFC and then Treehouse Masters. i also did the dishes, which fucking sucked. i could tell some rainy weather was coming. but, an ice pack and a victory beer helped calm that pain down.
the bank was a little slow today. mostly because of the woman wearing socks and sandals. she had no clue how to fill out a deposit slip. as i got back in the car, i told my mother i'm amazed that i haven't killed everyone in this town. as you might imagine, it's one of those days.
we went to the grocery store to get my mother's prescriptions and a few things. it turned into getting stuff for breakfast tomorrow, lunch today, and what we're going to make on New Year's Day. as i was walking around, i could feel myself getting depressed. all these beautiful women with rings on their fingers or worse yet, the beautiful ones that can't be even 15 years old yet. of course, my brain operates in poems now, so each face is quickly matched up with a few lines. if i manage to make it through life and not be diagnosed as insane, i'll be amazed.
there's plenty of sports on today i want to watch. Kentucky plays Louisville in college basketball here in a few minutes. i believe team USA plays in the 2015 World Juniors today. also in hockey, the Rangers play the Devils tonight. that's always fun (when the Rangers win). there's a few college football games today i want to check out. and tonight, i want to catch the Tag Team Wars episode of ROH. i imagine there will be eating and pooping breaks sometime in that time span. and i constantly need to check my emails or i end up with 100 out of nowhere. good times.
i will probably be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays. it's also trash day and there is plenty of that to take down to the end of the lane. there's another fucking thing i won't miss.
i hope everyone is having a great weekend. if not, pour yourself something stronger to drink like i'm going to do. 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.

this blog post is brought to you by episode #37 of The Sam Roberts Show Online. i really enjoyed this episode. brought back some horrific memories of growing up and really not knowing what to do in social situations. you can find the episode on iTunes, Stitcher, and by going to http://notsam.com/podcast.html. be sure to do ALL your Christmas shopping through the amazon.com link on the podcast page. that all goes a long way in helping Sam reach his goals.
i will be following Manchester United online today in Champions League play as i don't pay the extra $15 a month to have Fox Soccer Plus. i don't really care if they win or lose this game, i simply want them to come out of it fully healthy. the match with Manchester City is coming up on Sunday and that will more or less decide my week.
tonight i will be watching the Dayton Flyers play Alabama in college basketball and most likely have their asses handed to them as revenge for last year's upset victory. i would love to be surprised and see a team play together and score and defend the way i believe they can, but i'm not going to be holding my fucking breath.
i was actually shocked at who made the top 4 of The Voice. i didn't see Amanda getting eliminated. no more team Adam. which makes me laugh as his music has never done anything for me. and in case you are wondering, i am team Blake but totally think Trevin will win.
sorry to hear about CM Punk's knee surgery. hopefully he will be back soon as he is one of the few reasons to watch the WWE at the moment. does set up an interesting moment for the company to really push the newcomers and perhaps realize Ryback needs a bit more seasoning before you let him run with the ball.
another day, another set of rumors on the Yankees. and more frustration on my end. the only hope i have is when these next 2 years are over and they decide they can start spending money again, all these young players who are great won't be able to resist millions and millions of dollars. fingers are crossed.
lastly, i'm dying with no hockey. and i won't believe any of the good reports until they are voting on a deal and players start coming back from Europe. college hockey and the Canadian juniors just aren't getting it done for me.

a nice southern breeze taking the temps into the mid 60's. some sunshine and some college basketball. i couldn't ask for more.
went to UD Arena to see the Dayton Flyers open up the season for real. a sluggish game with plenty of hope. when your best player doesn't score in the first half and you are up by 7, i always think that means you have a team with great depth. and when that best player finishes the game with 12 points, 10 assists, and 6 rebounds and you know he played like shit for most of the game, you can smile. this team has plenty of good parts. but relying on freshmen the way they have to, this season will have plenty of warts as well. a win by 13 is a nice way to get the season going.
then, a little bite to eat and a trip to the grocery store. wasn't nearly as bad as i thought it would be. seeing that Ohio State is off this week, i kind of figured everyone would be at the store instead of in front of a television. it was packed but i managed it. when i'm calm i have a real fuck off look to me, so i'm usually left alone. makes it easier for my mother to get through the aisles, i know that much.
got home to see that Manchester United won 3-2. the usual, go down 2-0. enter the Mexican God, Chicharito, and just like that, 3-2. i learned a long time ago, this team has a will that can't be extinguished. no matter the players, the conditions, or the odds, drama is never far away. been a fan since the early 90's. they probably have taken a few years off my life, but it's been enjoyable.
then, enter chaos into college football as Alabama loses at home. down goes the number 1 team in the land. i smell a god conspiracy going on to make sure Notre Dame plays for the national championship. just sayin'.
and since the NHL can't decide if it wants to be relevant or not, this Saturday night will be spent with a beer, some more football, waiting for Saturday Night Live. i'd much rather be watching Canadians fighting, just sayin'.

by the way, as some of you may have noticed, not that any of you should really care, a part of my soul got robbed last night and i'm now on google+. the world has officially started to end. you're welcome.
i woke up this morning to the same persistent fuck me winds i went to sleep with. and some blowing snow. went out to feed the cats and it felt like it was in the teens. i get it mother nature, you're a bad motherfucker. enough already.
one thing that DIRECTV does during these major storms is take an extra channel and devote it to all local coverage of the storm. so, as you can imagine, the majority of my day has been spent watching that.
not sure how the friends i have in Queens or New Jersey are doing. i'm hoping ok. i figure when the power comes back on they will find the emails.
NBA season starts tonight. i'll try to catch some of that to take my eyes away from storm damage coverage. plus, a part of me will love seeing LeBron get his ring. i always love a good heel.
love the knockout round on The Voice. great new element to the show. should be an interesting second night. that said, the live shows can't come soon enough.
hope everyone is well.
