that empty feeling

i could bitch and moan about the shitty officials and blind motherfuckers, but i know that what really beat the New Orleans Saints yesterday was the 4 fucking turnovers. you can't commit that many mistakes against a good team. Denver beat the Saints yesterday 25-23. and the way they won it, a blocked extra point returned for 2 points, is a punch in the fucking gut.

the New York Rangers won last night in Edmonton 3-1. the injury bug seems to be attacking the team, so i am thrilled they found a way to win with basically just 3 lines last night. they play again Tuesday night in Vancouver.

Westworld was spectacular last night. i didn't see that twist coming at all.

Divorce was pretty funny last night.

Insecure had me laughing my ass off last night.

Shameless was great last night.

the season finale of Masters of Sex was good, but could have been better i believe.

the season finale of Last Week Tonight was awesome last night. and i have to agree, 2016 has fucking sucked.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice, Gotham and Underfire: The Untold Story of Pfc. Tony Vaccaro. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i'm so far behind in fantasy football that i doubt i'll watch much of the game tonight.

i did write a poem today. i'm hoping a few more will come later tonight. i do think i know where the next batch of poems will be going to later this week.

i took a trip to Menards today. i found some shit for me and for the birds. plus i couldn't turn down a chance to get this sign:

i will be on here tomorrow after the Dayton Flyers play at Alabama tomorrow afternoon. hopefully the boys continue their mastery over SEC teams.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. if not, tough shit.

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 just love some chaos

chaos seems to be a constant theme in this country lately. yesterday, college football decided to get into it. with 3 of the top 4 losing, that means Ohio State will most likely be 2nd in the country. that also means they could be in the awkward position of winning out, not making the Big 10 championship game and still making the Final 4 of college football. ah, fucking chaos.

Ohio State whipped Maryland yesterday 62-3. it was the first time Ohio State ever scored 60 or more points in back to back weeks.

Pittsburgh defeated #2 Clemson on a last second field goal. Iowa did the same to #3 Michigan. and USC defeated #4 Washington last night. 2 of those victories were on the road, even more impressive. now, the funny thing is if Ohio State and Penn St. both win out, Penn St. advances to the Big 10 championship game because of their victory over Ohio State. but, i would think Ohio St. would still be #2 in the polls, so i could honestly see them still making the playoffs for all of college football. chaos, so beautiful.

the New York Rangers got back to winning last night, defeating Calgary 4-1. they got goals from all 4 lines. i love how fucking deep this team is. they play again tonight at Edmonton.

Saturday Night Live was fucking great last night. Dave Chappelle was as funny as i can ever remember him. A Tribe Called Quest was excellent as well. i thought all the sketches were hilarious. it's definitely an episode i'll keep on the DVR.

ROH was great last night.

Austin City Limits was really amazing last night. 2 of my favorite musical acts going; My Morning Jacket and Ben Harper. the episode was so damn good i watched it again this morning.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Westworld, Divorce, Insecure, Last Week Tonight, Shameless and Masters of Sex.

the New Orleans Saints play at home today against Denver. if they can pull out a victory, they will greatly increase their chances of actually making the playoffs this season.

i might actually do a little writing today and figuring out where the next batch of poems will be going to.

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

stumbling on the road to insanity

you ever have one of those days where you just have to get the fuck out of the house? today was that day for me. i knew mom needed a bigger flowerpot for this flower she has growing in the kitchen, so there was my excuse. of course, i didn't think i would have to go to 3 different stores to find what the fuck i was looking for. even the Lowe's i went to had fucking Christmas shit all over the place. talk about turning my mood to shit rather quickly. but it did feel good to get a little sunshine and be away from the house for a bit. of course, when i got back home, mom told me that our neighbors called looking for me. apparently my uncle was out on his scooter and it died right next door and he needed to be pushed back home. i went over there after i ate lunch and said shit, i guess missed all the excitement today. that turned into 30 minutes talking about politics and jesus fucking christ, i can't wait until November 9th.

the New Orleans Saints got back to .500 with a 41-23 victory out in San Francisco yesterday. now, the true test comes. they play Denver at home next week. if they win that game, i'll actually believe that they might just have a chance in the division.

the New York Rangers kept the winning and the scoring going last night. they defeated Winnipeg 5-2. this is the first time they have scored 5 goals or more in 5 straight victories since the 1978-79 season. the Rangers went to the Stanley Cup Final that year. they play again tomorrow at home against Vancouver.

even the damn Sacramento Kings won last night, defeating Toronto 96-91. nothing quite like a night full of alcohol...

Westworld was spectacular last night. a very nice twist at the end that should make the show even more interesting now. Insecure was very funny last night. Divorce was very funny as well. Last Week Tonight was fucking brilliant as always. Shameless was great once again last night. Masters of Sex was very good as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Gotham, Saturday Night Live: Election Special and Vice News Tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw and probably some of the football game tonight as well.

for those of who actually believe in the government, i do hope you vote tomorrow. for those of you like me and don't believe in it, sit back and laugh at everyone bitching about the one who lost. and if Hillary does win and Trump's supporters go ape shit over it, at least the cops will have something to do then. i enjoy chaos a little more than anyone else it seems. but honestly, i just want the fucking election over with. lord knows, people will start running for the 2020 presidency before too long.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

so far, so good

i thought Ohio State was going to have a tough game last night. little did i know that it was going to be their most dominant performance of the season. they whipped #10 Nebraska 62-3 last night. i really hope this is the breakout performance all of us have been waiting for. the defense scored 2 touchdowns last night, J.T. Barrett looked great again and they seemed to have finally realized that Curtis Samuel must touch the ball more than just a handful of times each game. i suppose i'll know for sure next week at Maryland.

i forgot to mention yesterday the update on mom. the doctor she saw on Friday was pretty straightforward with her. she needs a new hip and she needs back surgery. they recommended she gets the shots into her spine to help decrease the inflammation with her discs in her back, but that is only to buy them time to decide which surgery comes first. as he was telling her this, i was just thinking to myself how i wish she would have never put off her hip replacement. she's known she's needed it for more than 18 months now. so the first injection will be the Monday after Thanksgiving. oh joy, the holidays...

the New York Rangers defeated Boston last night, 5-2. they gave up the first goal once again last night but i am convinced now it doesn't matter. the Rangers remind me of the teams i grew up watching that would use their speed to force you to make mistakes. they scored 2 short handed goals last night and a power play goal as well. there's the difference in the game. they play again tonight at home against Winnipeg. hopefully they will get their fifth win in a row tonight.

Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night. from start to finish, i was laughing my ass off. do yourself a favor and go find the clips or watch the show, it's worth it.

ROH last night was really good. i'm interested to see how the new Kingdom works out.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Westworld, Divorce, Insecure, Last Week Tonight, Shameless and Masters of Sex.

the New Orleans Saints play out in San Francisco this afternoon. a win against the 49ers will put them back at .500 on the season. i really hope they take care of business against a team they should beat.

Manchester United got 2 goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and a screamer from Paul Pogba to defeat Swansea City today 3-1. other than the usual second half brain fart, it was a very good game for United. sadly, Zlatan picked up a yellow card, so he'll miss the next game against Arsenal. fuck. but, time for me to go enjoy a victory beer.

i turned back the clocks last night one hour like you're supposed to. i'm not sure we really need to do that any longer, but i know how this country holds on to shit much longer than we should. and honestly, turning the clock back 1 hour doesn't help a guy who doesn't sleep as it is.

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

happy dentists make money day

growing up as the heavy kid, there wasn't many costumes you could do. you could always put on a mask and regular clothes. painting the face was always an option, though i was shaving by the age of 12. i remember Halloween being a big deal in the neighborhood i grew up in. and since 2 apartment complexes were nearby as well, it got a little crazy at times. i can recall lines of 10 to 20 kids at a time getting candy at the house. thank god we stopped that shit. i prefer to treat this day as a day to retreat into the dark places in my head. have a little fun with some evil and see what the fuck happens. and now the candy has become liquor. i should have started that sooner as well.

WWE Hell in a Cell was good last night. i would say it was great, but the main event was screwed up by the wrong decision. i have nothing against the WWE "policy" of you lose in your hometown. if it's just a house show or a regular television event, no big deal. but when it's a ppv and a historic match of the first two women EVER to compete in Hell in a Cell, that wasn't the time to have Sasha job to Charlotte. it completely ruined all the good feelings the show had built up over the previous 3 to 4 hours. match of the night for me was Owens vs. Rollins. the match had everything. not quite a 5 star classic, but easily a good holy shit match.

the season finale of The Strain was fucking crazy last night. at least i know what the first stage of the nuclear holocaust might look like.

Westworld was excellent last night. Divorce was very funny last night. Insecure was fucking hilarious. Shameless was excellent as always last night. Masters of Sex was very interesting. and finally, Last Week Tonight was great as usual.

the New York Rangers whipped Tampa Bay last night, 6-1. while it's still early in the season, this is the best i've seen the Rangers offense in years. hopefully they start another winning streak.

the New Orleans Saints held on for an important victory yesterday against Seattle. the defense was amazing in the second half and the offense scored on its final 6 possessions. that's how you get a big victory, 25-20.

i might check out some of the Monday Night Football game tonight, mostly just for fantasy football purposes.

that's all for me kids. i hope everyone had a wonderful Sunday. enjoy the rest of your Halloween. go scare the shit out of someone, literally.

with rain off in the distance

i woke up this morning with that all too common ache in my bones. i knew rain was in the area. the "experts" said there are supposed to be some showers in the afternoon. i'll probably be beyond miserable by then.

Ohio State played down to the competition yesterday and won 24-20 over Northwestern. i honestly think the offense is beyond fucking lost at this point. and you can tell the defense is at the point where they are wondering when the fuck the offense is going to do something to pick them up. they will have to be better next week if they think they are going to beat Nebraska.

Austin City Limits was excellent last night.

ROH was really good last night.

the Bill Murray: Mark Twain Prize special last night was great. and also, it is well deserved.

the Sacramento Kings won last night, 106-103 over the Timberwolves. they are now 2-1 on the season. i'm hoping against hope that they can keep it up.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Tampa Bay. hopefully the boys can start a new winning streak tonight.

congratulations to my sister on passing her test this morning. she's now a step closer to getting a job she might actually enjoy.

days when the 8 year old me was truly a soothsayer...

when Chelsea scored just 30 seconds into the game against Manchester United yesterday, i knew i was in for a Sunday i didn't want to see. by the time they scored the second goal, i was already flipping through the channels to see what else was on, other than NFL pregame shows. i didn't bother to watch the third and fourth goals Chelsea scored as i was basically going over my fantasy football teams again and seriously wondering if i should just become a Real Madrid fan. add on top to the humiliating loss an injury to their best center back and it really feels like this is going to be one of those losses that the club will feel for weeks. not good.

next up was the New Orleans Saints. they started off strong but penalties were holding them back. and as usual, the penalties would happen at the wrong damn time and soon enough, the Saints were down 21-7. they made a furious comeback, but ultimately lost 27-21. this was one of those games that i'll shake my head at at the end of the season and think what could have been.

by this time i was numb and ready to take a nap. just as i was falling asleep watching the outdoor hockey game in Winnipeg, i could hear mom calling my name from the bathroom. for a second i thought i was dreaming it. i got out of my chair and went to the bathroom and opened the door. she had fallen in the shower. she said she didn't hit her head but i could tell this wasn't exactly good for her back. the stubborn old bitch wouldn't allow me to help her other than get her some towels to dry off and her walker so she could get herself back up. about 10 minutes later, she made it back up and was back into the bed.

a little side note here... i woke up this morning and my door was open. i was 99.9% sure it was closed when i went to sleep. i asked mom about it this morning and she said she opened it at 5 in the morning when she thought i had said something to her. she said she was more or less sleepwalking. so, it looks like i'll be getting even less sleep than i normally do now. good times.

the New York Rangers won last night 3-2 over Arizona. Dan Girardi scored the winning goal in the 3rd. that's the human equivalent to a blind squirrel finding a nut. but, i enjoyed the victory beer just the same. god knows, i needed it.

Westworld was excellent last night. the ending was spectacular. Divorce was pretty funny last night. Insecure was hilarious. The Strain was fucking awesome last night. i can't wait for the season finale next week. Shameless was great as usual. Masters of Sex was pretty good last night. and finally, Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Gotham. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i probably should watch some of the Monday Night Football game, for fantasy football purposes, but i probably won't.

so i went out to Meijer today to find some things to make the shower more safe for mom. plus, i had a $5 off coupon that expired today. i found a few things that will hopefully work. i also bought myself some creepy Halloween shit and some baseball cards. plus, i got a Star Wars pillow that's comfortable as hell. i figure, i might as well embrace my inner geek now, who the fuck do i need to impress really? i'm 40 and single with no hope of that ending anytime soon, good or bad. so, fuck it.

i truly hope all of you had a better Sunday than i did. if you didn't, i would suggest drinking more and playing with weapons. you might die or you might become famous. that's one hell of a coin flip.

anger, hello once again

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.

summer in the middle of October

there's a nice breeze today but the temperature is somewhere in the mid 80's, right where i want my crisp October days to be. good thing global warming is a fucking myth, right?

the New Orleans Saints started off on fire yesterday. that made me extremely happy as i started all my Saints players in fantasy football. then, in typical Saints fashion, they blew a 21 point lead. thankfully, Drew Brees was having another soon to be hall of fame type day. he threw for 465 yards, breaking Peyton Manning's record for most career 400 yd. games. the Saints won on a late field goal, 41-38. anytime i can watch Cam Newton lose, i'm a happy guy. the Saints next play at the Chiefs.

the Sunday night shows were excellent last night. Westworld was great once again. Divorce was pretty funny last night. Insecure was fucking hilarious. The Strain was awesome last night. Shameless was great as usual, Masters of Sex was heartbreaking last night. that was easily their best episode in probably 2 seasons. and finally, Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual:

i didn't get to bed until around 4 in the morning. i was up 5 hours later. thankfully, my back isn't killing me today (knock on wood). i took mom down to the ATM to get some money out. it was the first time she had been out of the house for a few weeks i think. she liked the warm breeze. i guess the new extra large cold compress i got her really worked well on her back. i told her she needs to make that a daily thing, especially if it helped her sleep.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice, Gotham and The Big Bang Theory. i'll be flipping between Monday Night Raw and the football game between the Jets and Cardinals.

also tonight the New York Rangers play at home against San Jose. the Rangers have a few injuries after that St. Louis game, so i guess i'll find out how good the depth is because San Jose won't be easy to play against.

all of that will come after Manchester United plays at Liverpool. to me, this is always a MUST WIN game. hopefully the team takes on that mindset as well.

i didn't get any of the poetic shit i wanted to get done done this weekend. i'm hoping to squeeze something in this week sometime.

Ohio State played like shit for most of last night. thankfully, they played like the team i know they can be in the second half. they came from behind to beat a very good Wisconsin team 30-23 in OT.

the New York Rangers ran into a goalie standing on his head last night. they absolutely dominated St. Louis, especially in the 3rd period, but lost 3-2. a little puck luck and they win that game going away. they next play at home on Monday night.

ROH was excellent last night.

shopping on a holiday

so i decided i was going to test my sanity today and go shopping on a holiday. though, i don't actually think that Columbus Day should be a holiday, but that's a story for another day. i went to the closest Meijer to us, which is in the middle of a ton of fucking construction. thankfully, that meant it wasn't that busy. sadly, they had reconfigured most of the damn store since the last time i was there, so i was the typical single male going around like a lost dog trying to find shit. i did find most of what was on the list and kept it around $100. it would have been under if i wouldn't have treated myself to some baseball cards. they were 50% off.

i picked up some lunch on the way home and made it back about 2 hours after i had left. i didn't kill anyone, didn't give anyone the finger, so i'm going to say today was a success. so far.

a big surprise, both of my fantasy football teams stunk yesterday, but i'm still alive in the Eliminator pool. so, yeah, there's that.

WWE No Mercy was really good last night. i was bummed that Becky Lynch wasn't wrestling, but i was thrilled they started off the show with the main event. that's a nice twist, even though anyone with a brain knows they did it so the match wouldn't be against the debate. i was fine with AJ Styles retaining the title. the match between Miz and Dolph Ziggler stole the show. it was fucking awesome. that should have been the last match of the night. instead, that went to Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton. i was thrilled to see Luke Harper back. hopefully they give him a huge push.

Westworld was great last night. i think i finally "get" the show and now i'm really going to fucking enjoy it. Divorce was much funnier than i expected it to be. Insecure was fucking brilliant. Shameless was great as usual. Masters of Sex was pretty good. The Strain was great as always. and finally, Last Week Tonight was brilliant:

the days where i could just kill

if there is one damn thing i hate the most about living in suburbia, it's this god damn constant need to keep the grass looking cut at all fucking times. i could have killed my cousin's husband this morning for mowing the fucking grass as my mother was sleeping. but, he's trying to stay in a will, so i know the intent. every 3 to 5 fucking days, someone has their mower out. doesn't matter if the grass hasn't grown. doesn't matter if it's not supposed to rain for a week. i told mom, if i truly was crazy, all these motherfuckers would be dead.

Ohio State struggled for a good portion of the game yesterday against Indiana. the wind didn't help matters either. but, you wouldn't know any of that by the final score. Ohio State won 38-17.

my sister came down yesterday and stayed a lot longer than i thought she was going to. i'm happy that her and mom got to talk and hopefully my sister realizes just how much pain mom is actually in.

there was some truly crazy college football games yesterday. i did see some of Navy's upset of Houston, the craziness of Tennessee and Texas A&M and Florida State vs. Miami. another good week to say the least.

i may have some good news to share about the poems i sent to Tuck Magazine. check back in about four weeks.

my fantasy hockey draft was this morning. other than having too many goalies, i think my team is pretty damn good. of course, i thought the same thing about football as well.

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

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...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

not the way i wanted this day to start

when i shut my eyes at 2 in the morning, i knew i was going to be up in 4 hours. that's not sleep, that's a fucking nap. but, i was up at 6 and ready to go. sadly, i can't say the same for Manchester United.

if the boys would have been simply clinical today, they would have beat Stoke City by 4 or 5 goals. instead, they pissed around and gave up a late equalizer that will leave me fucking furious for the rest of the damn day.

the New York Yankees showed a little pride yesterday, beating Baltimore 7-3. hopefully the Yankees win today and make Baltimore have to wait to see if they are actually in the playoffs or not. thankfully, today is the last game of the season and most likely the last day i will give a shit about baseball.

the New York Rangers lost last night, 5-4 to the Devils. i guess the good thing is it looks like this year's team might actually be able to score. that's a welcome change from the past.

Ohio State destroyed Rutgers yesterday 58-0. honestly, i don't think it was even that close. congrats to J.T. Barrett on setting the Ohio State record for touchdown passes.

there was some crazy ass college football games yesterday. all in all, it's why i love the sport.

i finally got to watch Deadpool. i can see why it is the highest grossing rated R movie of all time. it was fucking hilarious, start to finish. i probably rank it as my 3rd favorite movie of all time, only behind Fight Club and Pulp Fiction.

ROH was excellent last night. always interesting to watch pro wrestling in a baseball stadium.

Austin City Limits was pretty good last night. hard to imagine this was the first time Paul Simon has ever been on the show.

Saturday Night Live was really fucking funny last night. a good way to start off a new season.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Westworld, Last Week Tonight, The Strain, Shameless and Masters of Sex.

the New Orleans Saints play at San Diego later today. i've picked against them this week, hoping they might finally fucking win.

i'm not favored in either of my fantasy football matches, no surprise there.

i wrote 5 poems yesterday while enjoying my victory beer after the Ohio State game. i typed them up and i really, really like a few of them. i think i'm going to get another submission ready for next week probably.

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

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...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

i never knew the crack of dawn was so painful

at least i got somewhere near 5 hours of sleep before i woke up at 5:30 this morning. i know mom wanted to leave around 6 or so. what i didn't know was that there was rain in the area. so, to say i was dragging with arthritis gnawing at me would be an understatement. but, we made it to the place on time. the MRI went well. the results should be known by tomorrow.

while in the waiting area, i wrote 8 poems. i typed them up once we got back home. thankfully, i had most of them typed up before it started pouring. i really liked a few of the poems.

the New York Yankees at least scored yesterday. and they even took the lead in the 9th. but, when you overuse your bullpen all season long, it will come back to haunt you at the end. and sure enough... the Yankees lost yesterday 4-3. they will try to avoid the four game sweep later tonight. thankfully, this season will be over soon.

WWE Clash of Champions last night was almost just a longer version of Monday Night Raw. a few of the matches were really good, but nothing jumped out as holy shit, that was great. i'm sure tonight will just be more of the same.

the season finale of Power was fucking great. they have done a fabulous job each season with the finale. i can't wait to see what happens in 2017. the season finale of Ballers was hilarious. The Strain was great as usual last night. Masters of Sex was really good. and finally, Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual:

i'm trailing in both of my fantasy league games. i really need Drew Brees to have a monster night tonight for me to even really have a chance.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Gotham and The Big Bang Theory. i will be flipping between Monday Night Raw and the New Orleans Saints vs. Atlanta Falcons tonight. and hopefully avoiding the fucking debate completely.

finally, the weather actually is starting to feel like fall. there is actually some crisp to the wind. i was able to finally turn off the air conditioning and open some windows.

if i'm not too exhausted tomorrow, i will be sending out some poems.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

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