that didn't go how i was expecting...

 i guess i knew in the back of my mind there was always the chance the Eagles could blow out the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. i just never expected it to happen. in hindsight, i probably should have. the Eagles whipped the shit out of the Chiefs last night, 40-22. considering it was 34-0 at one point, the game was effectively over by halftime. i won 2 bets out of the 20 or so i placed for the game. thank god the largest bet i made was only $5. the halftime show was great. i think it showed just how amazing Kendrick Lamar is. the commercials were pretty good as well.

i did get to finally vacuum the house today. mom tends to always go to sleep when i want to do it. she pulled that passive/aggressive bullshit today and i just went ahead and did it anyway. i can take so much shit, to a point. as i have told her, just like she grilled into me as a child... choices and consequences.

i'm hoping to get some poems written tonight. i know i need to send another round of submissions out soon.

goodbye to 2024...

 so, in some ways, 2024 was the year my writing finally hit the next level. the book i did with Casey Renee Kiser, Altered States of The Unflinching Souls, is something i am really proud of. you can still get a copy by going here:

i was nominated for a Best of the Net by Disturbing the Universe Magazine. and, for the first time in my life, i was nominated for the Pushcart Prize by The Rye Whiskey Review.

plus, John Patrick Robbins, the editor of The Rye Whiskey Review, and i are toying around with the thought of me doing a book in 2025 for his press. 

add in me finally doing a few new SoundCloud tracks, and i truly hope this is a sign of things to come...

Manchester United lost 2-0 yesterday at home to Newcastle. honestly, it never felt that close. United, for the first time in my life, are in a relegation battle. hopefully, the players figure that out soon and start giving a shit again.

the New York Rangers lost last night at Florida, 5-3.

Monday Night Raw was really good last night. the show, for the first time in 32 years, will start on Netflix next week.

the NFL game last night was crazy. Detroit won at the 49ers, 40-34.

i need to go grocery shopping today and it is raining. joy.

Orkin came by last night and put two traps up in the attic. they could tell the squirrels are up there. they couldn't see anyplace where they are getting in and out of. hopefully, the traps will work. Orkin is supposed to be out later this week to check on them.

i should be on here tomorrow before the Ohio State vs. Oregon game in the Rose Bowl.

if you are going out to party tonight, please be safe.

i hope your 2024 was better than mine.

and people wonder why i don't trust many of you...

 as a poet that likes to network and get my poetry out there the old fashioned way, word of mouth, actually engaging with humans, i have seen all sides of the ugliness of humanity. what really pisses me off is when someone starts off in a genuine way and then within 3 fucking days, is trying to scam you. part of that makes me laugh because all i have to my name is about $15,000 worth of debt. but still, why pieces of shit are still trying these fucking scams today is just mind blowing to me. of course, it is the holidays, why wouldn't someone be trying to steal pennies from me.

the grocery store went well today. between gas, prescriptions and groceries, i spent close to $400. fuck me.

i did watch team USA yesterday at the World Juniors. they defeated Germany, 10-4.

thank god i only watched about 2 minutes of the NFL game last night. Seattle beat Chicago, 6-3. of course, the spread was 4.

i did watch Nate Bargatze's new special on Netflix last night. that was fucking hilarious.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Inside the NFL and the final episode of AEW Rampage. i'll watch the final episode of NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

i believe we are having leftovers tonight. we had pizza last night, mostly because mom didn't want Christmas dinner two nights in a row. i can understand that. 

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.

AEW Rampage was ok last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

 i got up at 6:45 this morning. i knew when i went to sleep before 3 AM, i was going to be up early. it never fails. hell, even if i take drugs, i'm up early if i go to bed too early. i crashed late this morning and got a little nap in. so, i'm going on roughly 4 hours of sleep. that sums up the last 35 years of my life it seems. 4 hours of sleep.

the Yankees won yesterday at home against Cleveland, 6-0. they held Cleveland to just 1 hit in the game. the Yankees start a series tonight at home against Colorado. 

Big Brother was good last night. Brooklyn got evicted. T'Kor is the new HOH.

done got old...

 there's an old Buddy Guy song named "Done Got Old" and i certainly thought of that at 4 this morning. i was trimming my toenails and as i was starting on the little toe on my right foot, as soon as i went to cut the whole damn nail fell off. it took a bit to get the bleeding to stop and get some Neosporin on it. fuck me, 48 going on 84. 

the USMNT lost to Uruguay last night, 1-0. honestly, i still think the goal was offside, but it doesn't matter. this was a game the USA needed to win and they simply didn't. which doesn't surprise me as, other than Mexico, they haven't been able to bet a good team under Gregg Berhalter. last night, they failed to make it out of the group at Copa America, in a group that has Panama and Bolivia. completely unacceptable. sad thing is, i'm not sure if U.S. Soccer has the balls to admit they made a mistake by bringing him back and firing him immediately. now, i can't believe they had an inexperienced referee do that game last night. to top that off, they refused to shake hands with Christian Pulisic after the game. talk about fucking classless. i do believe the team has plenty of talent. but it has been so many damn years since they have had the right coach to bring it out of them. if they decide to just keep going the way they are going, they will get destroyed in 2 years in the World Cup. on home soil nonetheless. fuck me.

so, i did watch some of the Euro 2024 games yesterday. France beat Belgium, 1-0. Portugal won on penalty kicks (3-0) against Slovenia. today, Romania plays Netherlands and Austria takes on Turkey.

in the Copa America tonight, Costa Rica takes on Paraguay and Colombia plays Brazil.

Name That Tune was pretty good last night.

Monday Night Raw was excellent last night.

well, the squirrels are back...

 mom had Orkin come out here today and sure enough, all the stuff they did didn't keep the squirrels out of the attic. so, now they have a trap set up to catch them and a special door on the roof where they were getting in. i guess, once they come out, they can't get back in. at least, in theory. the guy from Orkin was really surprised since the insulation they put in the attic is supposed to be very harmful for the squirrels. at least mom hasn't paid for any of this yet. so, yeah, that was my morning.

i did happen to write 3 more poems last night. i think i am slowly getting back into a groove. now, if i can double those numbers of 7 new poems into 15 or more by next week, i will be happy.

the New York Yankees lost last night at Baltimore, 4-2. hopefully, they will find a way to win tonight.

i got a text this afternoon from the Kroger pharmacy saying the Trulicity i take isn't available from the manufacturer. i was in way too pissy of a mood to deal with that today. so, i will call them in the morning. 

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

finally, some sunshine...

 as we were coming out of mom's appointment with her accountant, the sun was out. that was basically the only thing that stopped me from snapping at her. this was an appointment that should have took less than a hour but was well over a hour because mom can't help herself to not talk about politics, or whatever the fuck else. and i am not a person that needs useless small talk. it doesn't do anything for me. and i certainly see why mom worked the long hours as i can see just how much of her time was spent chatting with anyone that would happen to listen. fuck me. might be the most annoyed i have been in years. but, the taxes are done. hurray. i had to go to Rite Aid after that and pick up some pills. first time mom got to see some of the construction going on around town.

here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Philadelphia, 4-1. it is painfully obvious that the Rangers have no interest in any of these games now that they are already qualified for the playoffs. my fear is that when the playoffs do start, they will forget to flip the fucking switch back on.

Young Sheldon was very funny last night.

NJPW was new last night although the guide said it was a rerun. i guess the show is moving to Wednesday nights now.

anger still exists on just 2 hours of sleep...

 so, i got up at 3:30 this morning. i guess the nap i got in the afternoon rested me more than i thought. so, i was able to watch WWE Elimination Chamber live this morning. it was a better show than i was expecting to be honest. and that made it well worth my time.

and then came the Manchester United game. i was fearful that without their best striker they would struggle to score. sure enough. they were second best all fucking game to Fulham, a team they honestly should never lose to. they lost 2-1, after Harry Maguire equalized late in the game. United gave up the winner in the 97th minute. i wish i would have just chosen to go back to bed than watch that shit.
