so, it started really raining last night and it really hasn't stopped. the wind is supposed to really pick up today. i'm hoping the recyclables don't go all over the place since the fucking trash company forgot to pick them up. i took a shower late last night. it didn't really help, but at least i felt clean.
i did watch all 3 NFL games last night. i had a huge bet on the Bengals game last night. i won a $222 bonus bet on Draftkings from Christmas Day. of course, i used it last night on two Bengals scoring touchdowns. the running back got stopped at the 1 multiple times last night. and the wide receiver i had dropped a touchdown. that pretty much sums up my gambling life. any chance i really get to get ahead, the universe always ask me, what the fuck do you think you are doing? i had my father's voice in my head last night. i remember vividly when he told me i would never amount to anything and there would always be a need in the world for people to dig ditches and graves. imagine saying that to your son at 9 years old all because you were mad because you had to wait an entire year to be able to write him off of the taxes when he was born.
the Chargers beat the Patriots, 40-7. the Bengals beat the Broncos, 30-24, in OT. the Rams beat the Cardinals, 13-9.
the USA beat Latvia at the World Juniors yesterday, 5-1. today, they play Finland.
the New York Rangers lost last night at Tampa, 6-2.
i did catch some of the college football games yesterday:
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Agency and Dexter: Original Sin.
the New Orleans Saints play today at home against the Raiders.
i will probably be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the afternoon.

so, roughly 10 minutes after i got this blog done yesterday, mom was in the bathroom puking. needless to say, she didn't go to her foot doctor yesterday. i called and told them what was going on. they understood and were really cool with cancelling. now i need to make sure mom reschedules that appointment soon. mom and i had a long talk last night. her memory has gone to complete shit anymore, so she has to write everything down. and i mean everything, like when to wake up, what to do when she does, when to take her nap, etc. so, my smart ass told her to write down to remember to breathe and stop procrastinating. that didn't go over well. but, she did actually sleep some last night. i didn't hear any outbursts from her at 3 or 4 in the morning, so i was able to get some sleep as well. apparently not enough though, as i put some ice on my back this afternoon and slept 2 more hours. that basically screwed up the timing of what i wanted to get done today. so, i'm guessing i am going to try to get a hair cut sometime tomorrow. or maybe next week.
Manchester United defeated Chelsea yesterday, 4-1. they will be in the Champions League next year. they play Fulham at home on Sunday to end the regular season. they also have the FA Cup final coming up as well.
the New York Yankees lost last night at home to Baltimore, 3-1. they start a series tonight at home against San Diego.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night.

i should be on here in the morning tomorrow as WWE Night of Champions starts at noon tomorrow.
i think mom is finally ready to plant the flowers she got nearly a week ago. i told her she might want to get them planted before they die. as you might imagine, i'm not much on flowers, etc. hell, i don't even care for the plastic ones.
if you are traveling this Memorial Day weekend, please be safe. since it is the unofficial start of the summer, you know all the crazy motherfuckers will be out and about.
i had to run to the local grocery store today to get some potato salad and macaroni salad for the weekend. i got a really nice pork tenderloin that should give us multiple meals for the weekend.
i got my order from Walk Off Wax today. i did get some pretty nice baseball cards in the packs. a decent rookie slab as well.
i need to figure out dinner tonight, so that's all for me kids.
until tomorrow morning...
fight the power.
fuck racism.

so, i decided to get the grocery shopping done today. the first part of my trip was pretty easy. i went to Rite-Aid and found everything mom needed and i got myself some baseball cards. after that, i went to the local grocery store around the corner from Rite-Aid and found pretty much everything i needed from there. after i took all that home, i had to go make a deposit at the bank and then head to Kroger to get the rest of the groceries. well, the bank up near Kroger was closed for some fucking reason. so, i had to drive back to the bank i normally go to and sit for 20 minutes in the drive-thru lane. eventually, i got the deposit made and headed back to Kroger. by this time, mom had texted me to let me know her prescription was ready and she completely forgot to put all the shit on the list for New Year's (black eyed peas, sauerkraut, collard greens, pork). thankfully, i did find everything on the list at Kroger.
by the time i got home, i had missed most of the first period of the USA vs. Czech Republic at the World Juniors. thankfully, i did get to see most of the goals the USA scored today. they defeated the Czech Republic 7-0. they will next play Sweden on New Year's Eve.
Manchester United won today over Wolves, 1-0. it took them forever to score, but Marcus Rashford scored in the 93rd minute to give them all 3 points. that put them into second place in the Premier League.
Monday Night Raw was fucking crazy last night. i guess they are doing what the USA Network wanted. they asked for edgier programming. ending the show with another near murder i guess is what they asked for.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight. so, i will probably be flipping between some college football, college basketball, the World Juniors and lord knows what else.
i will probably have to go back to the grocery store tomorrow to get my pills that weren't ready today. i should be on here when i get back home, hopefully before Dayton plays tomorrow night.
i am really fucking late on getting the trash picked up here and next door. and i need to make dinner as well.
i did get some decent baseball cards today. the best in the 2020 Topps Update pack was the Javier Baez short print and the Bo Bichette Turkey Red rookie card. as for the Fairfield box i got, easily the best card was the 1989 Donruss Randy Johnson rookie card.
that's all for me kids.
until tomorrow...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.
black lives matter.
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands.
wear your mask.

well, exactly what i feared was going to happen last night happened. team USA was clearly looking past Slovakia last night at the World Juniors. Slovakia made them pay for that, beating the USA 3-2. this makes the outdoor game today between the USA and Canada very interesting. if Canada wins, they will win the group and be in the best spot to get back to the gold medal game. no matter what happens, the USA will make it past the group stage. the problem is a loss today means they will finish 3rd in the group and be truly up shit's creek without a paddle. joy.
i wrote 4 poems last night/this morning. i haven't typed them up yet since i think there might be some more coming. my apologies to all the editors that are going to get email from me in early 2018. i'm sitting on a goldmine i believe.
i did go out to the bank this morning to make a deposit. there was just a little snow in the air. i believe by this afternoon it's really going to get interesting.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be NJPW.
Ohio State takes on USC tonight in the Cotton Bowl. this will be the last game for many players at Ohio Sate, so i'm hoping they go out with a victory.
the New York Rangers play tonight at Detroit. hopefully i will have a drink in both hands by the end of tonight.
i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow before Manchester United plays. if not, it will be before Dayton plays at Duquesne in the afternoon.
i hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. i do hope everyone gets to enjoy the last weekend of 2017.

the only reason i really write down what poems i send to where is to make sure i don't send the same rejected poems to the same place that rejected them. another thing it does is remind me of the places i don't hear back from. i usually will wait 3 to 6 months before the first query. but, when it gets to over a year, like a few places i've had to query here lately, it becomes this tedious fucking thing to do. i sent out about 6 queries today, some dating back to poetry submissions from 2015. i heard back from Oddball Magazine and Live Nude Poems who both passed on the poems i sent. Rusty Truck asked me to send the poems again, which i did. hopefully i will hear back from Scot this time, as i never heard back from him the first time i sent the poems in the summer of 2015. this is where i wish i had enough money to have someone to do this shit for me.
i went to the bank today. just my luck, they were training new employees. oh goody. i guess since i had a roll of quarters and 2 checks to deposit, the new guy was a bit flustered. what usually takes 2 minutes took about 10. thank god i had nowhere to be.
i got gas for 94 cents a gallon today. that'll work.
i was pretty much able to find everything i was looking for at Menards. i'm really hoping the frame i got works for the Ben Harper poster i have. plus, i got the shelving unit i wanted for the garage and a new household air station. the old one from the farm bit the dust. plus, i got all the cleaning shit mom wanted. all the rebates we had and the gift card my uncle gave me for Christmas knocked everything down to under $40. that was a good trip.
Smackdown was pretty good last night.
i really enjoyed the match between Neville and Cedric Alexander on 205 Live last night.
Taboo was super fucking dark again last night. the show is getting better with each episode.

and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Total Divas. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i see the celebrity deaths are starting early again this year.
the New York Rangers play tonight against Philadelphia. i'd love to see them enter the All-Star break with a winning streak.
my sister is coming down here on Friday. i guess that's when all of us will be belatedly celebrating my birthday.
i'll be on here tomorrow probably after Manchester United plays.
