a creative outburst of sorts...

 i sat down last night, 2 in the morning, to write. a little over 2 hours later, i had 7 poems done. i decided to type them up after some sleep, as i knew i had to be up in a few hours. 3 1/2 hours to be exact. that is what i am running on today. there will be an afternoon crash coming for sure.

team USA lost to Canada last night, 6-2. you would never know the USA was actually up 2-0 in that game. so, the USA will play Sweden today for the bronze medal.

the Dayton Flyers won last night at home against Saint Joseph's, 76-56.

the New York Knicks won last night at home against San Antonio, 117-114.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

AEW Dynamite was really good last night.

Hard Knocks was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Young Sheldon and Vice News Tonight.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Montreal. hopefully, the boys win tonight.

so i know where my next 16 poems are going. i should be on here tomorrow after i get those out into the world.

i might watch some college basketball tonight (i have money on the Purdue vs. Ohio State game).

it is supposed to snow tonight, so i'm not really looking forward to that.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

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

peace and chicken grease...

finally, a good start to a Sunday...

 so, i got what i guess i can call some decent sleep last night. my arms weren't killing me the entire time. and i got what i needed to get done this morning (put the dishes away, make coffee) in time to watch Manchester United play at Leeds.

when United went up 2-0 by halftime, i was pretty pleased. of course, by 10 minutes into the second half, it was 2-2. thankfully, Fred of all people scored the game winner. Anthony Elanga added in the insurance and United won 4-2.

the Dayton Flyers won yesterday at Saint Joseph's, 74-62.

Celebrity Big Brother was just some of the never before seen moments from this season last night. the season will thankfully be over on Wednesday.

WWE Elimination Chamber was pretty good yesterday. my hunch was correct, as i figured one of the main events of WrestleMania would be Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns, title vs. title. i didn't see the Bobby Lashley injury angle coming, but it makes sense. 

NBA Saturday Night was good for the most part. the dunk contest sort of dragged on, mostly because i think most of the guys were trying to do dunks they can't do. at least Obi Toppin did dunks he knew he could make. and he won, finally.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Celebrity Big Brother, Power Book IV: Force, Billions, Euphoria, The Righteous Gemstones, Somebody Somewhere and Last Week Tonight.

the Daytona 500 is today. i will probably watch a little of that.

the USWNT takes on New Zealand today in their second game of the SheBelieves Cup.

the New York Rangers play today at Ottawa. this is a game the Rangers need to win.

the NBA All-Star game is tonight. i might watch some of that.

i should be on here tomorrow after mom has her physical therapy session.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the fucking shot.

a change in plans...

i forgot the Yankees play a day night doubleheader today against the Red Sox. so, instead of trying to squeeze the blog in when i get home today, i'm just going to do it now.

the Yankees defeated the Angels last night, 2-1. all the runs came in the first inning. next up on the homestand is 3 games against the Red Sox. if the Yankees can somehow win all 3 games, they will be in a wildcard position by 1/2 game. hopefully, they pull it off.

Monday Night Raw was good last night. SummerSlam is this Saturday.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NXT, Deadliest Catch and Hard Knocks.

they are repairing the foundation to the house next door. thankfully, i am up before the drilling begins at 8 AM. mom's oxygen drowns it out for her. 

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

i'm hoping mom's doctor's appointment goes well today. i think she wants to know if she can get the injections into her spine again after her congestive heart failure. i'm hoping the doctor says yes as she is in pain every day now. between her spinal stenosis, bad left hip, arthritis and her Meniere's Disease, i can understand why she sleeps all the time and is trying to take the hardest drugs she can find around the house.

until tomorrow kids...

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.

holy hell it's hot...

 i wanted to get the grocery shopping done before the England game this afternoon. i did have it done, but not soon enough to get the blog done before the game. so, this will be a shorter one than usual, which i imagine most of you don't mind.

the Yankees won last night out in Seattle, 12-1. hopefully this road trip wakes them the fuck up and they go on a long winning streak. either that or just start fucking losing and blow it all up.

here are your highlights from Game 1 of the NBA Finals last night:

at the Copa America last night, Argentina defeated Colombia on penalty kicks, 1-1 (3-2). that sets up Colombia vs. Peru in the 3rd place game and Argentina vs. Brazil for the championship.

at the Euro 2020 yesterday, Italy defeated Spain on penalty kicks, 1-1 (4-2). today, England and Denmark are scoreless in the 24th minute as i type this.

NXT was great last night.

Deadliest Catch was excellent last night.

Mr. Inbetween was amazing last night. the series finale is next week.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW and Big Brother.

holy shit, Denmark is up on England, 1-0.

i'll probably watch some of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final tonight.

the grocery stores were a bit crazy today. honestly, i think some people were just in there for the air conditioning. a big thank you to Kennedy at Kroger for opening up her lane for me. i must have had that i want the fuck out of here now look on my face.

i will be on here tomorrow between loads of laundry. 

now, Denmark and England are tied at 1.

if it is hotter than shit where you are, check on your elderly neighbors and see if they are still alive.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

the problem with burning a candle at both ends...

eventually, it's going to find the middle. i think that's where i'm at now. i got a whole 3 1/2 hours of sleep last night. joy.

Monday Night Raw was okay last night.

The Voice was good last night. i have no clue which 2 are going home tonight.

i did watch a good portion of that Vikings and Seahawks game last night.

the New York Rangers lost to Las Vegas last night, 4-1.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, part 1 of the season finale of Total Divas and WWE Backstage.

i'll be at the Dayton Flyers game tonight at home against Houston Baptist. this is a game that Dayton should win by at least 30.

i'll be on here tomorrow after mom has physical therapy and Manchester United plays Tottenham. sadly, i'm pretty sure United will end up losing.

some of the Christmas gifts i ordered showed up yesterday. i'm really hoping mom's new walker shows up today. the guy delivering it of course showed up while we were at physical therapy yesterday.

until tomorrow kids...

i wouldn't say fear, but trepidation is now upon us...

i am not exactly dreading my liver scan tomorrow morning. but i'm pretty sure having my first drink of alcohol at age 6 and still drinking at 43 hasn't done me any fucking favors. but, it is what it is.

i did write 4 poems last night. i typed those up and really, really like them. i then decided fuck it, it's only 2:30 in the morning, let's do some poetry work. so, i figured out where my next 15 poems are going. i will get those out sometime this week (hopefully).

for the first time in 220 games, the New York Yankees got shutout yesterday, losing to the Rangers, 7-0. that was the second longest streak in MLB history. hopefully, the Yankees will get a win tonight.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i loved what Bray Wyatt did and i absolutely loved Bayley turning heel.

i only got 3 1/2 hours of sleep last night. i think i got a good 3 hour nap in this afternoon. i think the only time i got really good sleep was when i was doing drugs in high school. go figure.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, the season finale of Hard Knocks, The Shop, Smackdown, Deadliest Catch and Mayans M.C. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i'm hoping i get some decent sleep tonight. my appointment in the morning is at 10:30. i have to drive to the next county to get this done. joy.

i imagine i will be on here in the afternoon tomorrow.

i hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day. i think i am burned out on hurricane coverage.

until tomorrow kids...

the eve of something

i was certainly hoping today was going to be a good day. but given the storms last night and my inability to ever get comfortable in my bed, i've been a cranky fuck all day long. my right hip is killing me today. i've decided not to put anything on it and just accept the pain. this is most likely a sign of impending insanity. so be it.

today was another morning where i was racing to the toilet after eating breakfast. i decided not to take any Imodium after this one, as i doubt that shit does anything good for my intestines. plus, i've made my chili for dinner tonight, so why would i want to block all the glorious shit coming from that?

WWE Tribute to the Troops last night was ok. i wasn't expecting much and that's exactly what i got. NXT was pretty good. it was nice to see Sami Zayn back in action. plus, 2016 should be the year that Chad Gable and Jason Jordan make some huge strides. they are amazing as a tag team.

today i watched The Who Live in Hyde Park. i recorded that a few weeks ago and finally decided to watch it. they are a huge influence on my musical taste and kind of how my mind works.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

my fantasy football finals start tonight as i will have 4 players playing in the San Diego vs. Oakland game. i really hope it is a high scoring shootout as i definitely need the points to get an early jump on my opponent. i know if i end up losing both finals i will be pissy for the rest of 2015.

i'm sure there are some Christmas programs on television tonight, but i will be watching football. i'm not really big on traditions anyway. my sister has to watch Home Alone and A Christmas Story every single year. i suppose if i really loved this holiday, i would be doing something like that. i wasn't blessed with the gift my sister has. she hardly remembers any of her childhood. i can recall years by each fucking day. good times.

i hope everyone is doing good. i hope the weather is good wherever you are. it's in the upper 50's today. crazy for Christmas Eve. i guess there is supposed to be a full moon on Christmas. that should be interesting.

i will do a very short blog tomorrow. my best to you and yours. have a very happy holiday and may something you actually want be under your tree.
