it still feels like summer...

 it still feels like summer outside. i'm hoping that will change soon. if the weather experts are correct, it is supposed to go from the 80's to the 50's by the weekend. that will be lovely if that happens.

so, let me talk about Manchester United for a bit. they lost yesterday at home in the Champions League, 3-2. first time they have ever lost the first two games of the group stage. the offense finally came to life but the defense, given all the injuries, is awful. and sadly, i'm not sure they have found rock bottom yet.

NXT was very good last night.

Inside the NFL was pretty good last night.

Welcome to Wrexham was excellent last night.

Name That Tune was very good last night.

The Voice was good last night.

Big Brother was pretty funny last night.

enjoy some music:

and this is why i don't sleep more than 4 hours a night...

 so, i had to take my mother to her heart doctor today. she left them a message this morning. she called me out to the kitchen while i was eating my breakfast and asked me when i could take her to the doctor. i chose the latest time they offered as i knew this was going to become a production. and i was right. thankfully, we made it there under the 15 minute late grace period they have. mom got her heart medicine figured out. so, i am hoping she won't feel like she is passing out when she takes it now.

yesterday at the World Cup, Spain and Germany finished 1-1. today, Cameroon and Serbia finished 3-3, Ghana defeated South Korea 3-2, Brazil defeated Switzerland 1-0 thanks to a goal from Casemiro and Portugal defeated Uruguay 2-0 thanks to 2 goals from Bruno Fernandes. tomorrow starts the final stages of group play. Ecuador will play Senegal and Netherlands will face Qatar in Group A. in Group B, Wales takes on England and Iran faces USA. the USA MUST win to advance to the knockout rounds.

the New Orleans Saints lost yesterday at the 49ers, 13-0. it was the first time the Saints have been shutout in over 20 years. 

the New York Knicks lost yesterday at home to Memphis, 127-123.

here are your NBA highlights from yesterday:

the Howard Stern interview with Bruce Springsteen last night was fucking great.

The White Lotus was hilarious last night.

Let The Right One In was really good last night.

Ziwe was fucking funny as hell last night.

i did listen to episode 423 of Notsam Wrestling today. you can hear that by going here:

i think Area Agency on Aging is coming out here tomorrow. mom tried to get a hold of them for years but i guess the one good thing to come out of her brief stay at the nursing home is this. hopefully she will get some answers to the questions she has.

i should be on here tomorrow after the USA vs. Iran game is over. i am really hoping i will be in a good mood. i haven't seen one of my sports teams win in forever it feels like.

speaking of that, the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the New Jersey Devils. 

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

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 joy of grocery shopping in the rain...

i woke up with a headache this morning. i figured it had rained overnight. i was correct. that headache hasn't gone away yet. neither has the threat of more rain. as i was walking into the grocery store this afternoon, the thunder and lightning started. i had a choice to make. take my time and see if i could outlast the rain or just get it the fuck over with since you were going to be in pain regardless. less than an hour later, i was putting the groceries in the Highlander in a fucking pouring rain. joy.

i did keep the grocery bill under $100 though, so that was a plus.

i had a line creep in my head while i was on my way to the store. that line turned into a poem as i was walking around. it became 3 pages long when i started writing it when i got back home. god knows how long it will be when i type it up. let's just say the muse hasn't lost her touch.

the muse and i did speak last night for the first time in years. i have no clue if anything good is going to come out of this. she has a way to make me feel like i'll never be good enough. that stokes the fire of the competitive fucker inside of me. i have always felt she knows that and does it on purpose. it would be just my luck if that wasn't the case.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Lip Sync Battle was pretty good last night.

Big Brother was great last night. Brett gave one of the great Big Brother speeches of all-time last night, creating an outrageous lie that included Rockstar. when the vote came out the way Brett predicted and Winston was voted out 6-5, Rockstar fucking erupted. the way Brett played it was so fucking perfect. if anyone doesn't like what happened last night, you obviously have no clue how this game was actually played before the last 5 seasons. this reminds me of when i started watching the show back in season 8. Sam won HOH. i have no clue who she is going to put up for eviction. it won't matter as her power that allows someone to come back in the game will be used even if she doesn't want it to be. so this will be a ho hum week in the grand scheme of things.

Snowfall was spectacular last night. i can't wait to see where season 2 goes.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be VICE and Major League Wrestling.

the New York Yankees start the second half of the season tonight at home against the Mets. i'd love to see the Yankees start off with a nice long winning streak. plus, i could really use a drink.

i did follow the Manchester United pre-season game against Club America online last night. the game ended 1-1. when i woke up this morning to see the Paul Pogba rumors, i wasn't happy. the last thing i want is to see him leave the club again.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow. of course, life could always get in the way.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

and here comes the rainy weekend...

when i woke up this morning, i could feel it in my bones. i just knew it was raining. and this rain is supposed to continue more or less for the whole fucking weekend. and i'm not drinking. oh fucking joy.

here is your poetry for this day of National Poetry Month:

the New York Yankees won last night 8-6. the bullpen still isn't good enough as of right now. that must get better soon, or the team is going to really have to tinker with it all season. the game today has already been rained out. they are going to try to play a doubleheader tomorrow. i highly doubt that happens given the weather.

VICE was really good last night. it also reminded me why i am not a fan of technology.

NJPW was awesome last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was excellent last night.

Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas was fucking great last night. i highly recommend this series to everyone. and you don't need HBO to see it. i believe they are putting each episode on YouTube.

i did watch some playoff hockey last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live, ROH and Elvis Presley: The Searcher.

i'm sure i will probably watch some hockey and soccer along the way today.

i did watch a little bit of Ohio State's spring game today. it's going to be weird to watch someone other than J.T. Barrett be the quarterback of that team.

i'm about halfway done with my laundry.

my sister left this morning after the first storm moved through.

the new coffeemaker worked fine this morning. crisis averted.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

should i go out and shovel?

i believe we got a good 3 to 4 inches of snow last night. i don't really feel like going out and shoveling this morning or afternoon for that matter. so, i'm really hoping one of the neighbors and his kids feel like doing a good deed today.

when the USA got down 2-0 to Canada yesterday at the World Juniors, i was not happy. when they were down 3-1 after two periods, i was not happy. but midway through the third period, the USA finally started to play their way. they got the score even at 3 by the end of regulation. nothing happened in OT, so it was off to the shootout. when the first two guys scored for the USA, i felt like i could finally breathe. no one from Canada scored in the shootout so the USA won the game 4-3. it's a pretty big win, but they will need to defeat Finland tomorrow to get the easier draw in the quarterfinals.

Ohio State smothered USC on defense last night, causing 4 turnovers and 8 sacks. that's a good way to win. USC had nearly 200 more yards than Ohio State but could only score 7 points. that's as many points as Ohio State's defense scored. Ohio State won the Cotton Bowl 24-7. it was the final game of J.T. Barrett's Ohio State career. i believe he has every damn record for a QB in Big Ten history now.

NJPW last night was the 60 minute draw between Okada and Omega. i believe i now have all 3 matches of their epic trilogy on the DVR.

the New York Rangers lost in a shootout last night at Detroit, 3-2. at least they got a damn point out of the game. every single fucking point matters now in the season. their next game will be outdoors on New Year's Day against Buffalo.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

Manchester United plays in a little bit at home against Southampton. i'm really hoping the boys can get back to winning.

the Dayton Flyers start their A-10 season on the road today at Duquesne. i have no idea what to expect. Dayton should win today, but i wouldn't be surprised if they lost either.

i'm sure i'll probably watch some other football and basketball games today as well.

i ended up typing up 5 poems yesterday. that puts the number at 40 for this month. that's a nice round number to end on. i'll probably send out some poems the first week of January.

that's all for me kids. i hope everyone enjoys their Saturday. hopefully you're not buried in snow.

miracles do exist...

when the New Orleans Saints were down 15 with less than 3 minutes left yesterday, i wanted to stay optimistic, but i figured the winning streak was coming to an end. then, Drew Brees remembered he's one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. the Saints tied the game at 31. the defense finally started to get some stops and the Saints eventually won in OT, 34-31. i never saw them being 8-2 at this point of the season. they will have a pretty big test next week on the road at the Rams.

the Dayton Flyers showed their youth yesterday against Old Dominion. they got killed on the boards and they settled for way too many jump shots. i believe in 4 games this season, they have already tried 100 three pointers. that's truly fucking insane. they don't shoot well enough to even justify the thought. they lost yesterday 75-67. they play again at home on Saturday against Akron.

the New York Rangers won last night 3-0 over Ottawa. i watched the highlights and enjoyed a drink as well.

WWE Survivor Series was pretty good last night. i liked most of the show. and i think most of it went the way i would have done it. the ending of HHH screwing Kurt Angle and then getting the shit beat out of him by Braun Strowman should make Monday Night Raw pretty interesting tonight.

i finally got to see ROH last night. it was excellent.

Curb Your Enthusiasm was really funny last night. just two more episodes left.

Shameless was excellent last night.

SMILF was great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice, Baltimore Rising and David Letterman: The Mark Twain Prize. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i had to take mom out shopping today. there just happened to be a new dollar store close to where she had to go pick up something she ordered online. we found plenty of shit at the dollar store.

i got the gift card to Amazon.com i ordered with my reward points in the mail today. so, i might get my damn Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving this year.

there was a stray cat walking up our driveway when mom and i got home from shopping today. i laughed and sped up the car. i find it kind of funny that after all those years and stray cats on the farm, we move to the suburbs and sure enough, another damn stray cat finds us.

i will be on here tomorrow after grocery shopping. i believe i have to get the fresh stuff mom wants to make Thanksgiving dinner with.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.
