as the rain washes away your sanity

for a few hours last night, i thought maybe the haircut didn't work. i was flipping back and forth between the Dayton Flyers and New York Rangers, watching each of them play like shit. it was so bad that at halftime of the basketball game i decided to watch The Muppets rather than the game. quite frankly, The Muppets was better.

the New York Rangers played a great 20 minutes last night. sadly, the games are 60 minutes. they managed to turn a 2-1 lead into a 5-2 loss. for some fucking the reason, the Devils have owned them this season. i really hope those fuckers miss the playoffs.

the Dayton Flyers won what was probably the worst fucking basketball game i have seen in the past decade. it probably set back the sport about 100 years. Dayton won 52-49 in OT. at least the defense showed up last night. the offense must have been somewhere in the lost luggage at the airport. as a guy who was a very good shooter, watching that game was fucking painful. but, at least they fucking won. they play again on Saturday at home. hopefully they will come out like a team that is 22-5 and not a team that is scared to make a mistake.

The Muppets was pretty funny last night.

Total Divas was bat shit crazy, as usual. i never knew Nikki Bella was that fucking weird. but, i did find a gif that makes John Cena look stupid, so i'm happy.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Lucha Underground. i will be watching NXT on WWE Network at some point tonight as well.

mom had the time of her appointment mixed up today. thankfully she called before we had to leave to make sure when it was. it was at 1 PM instead of 11 AM. a little bit of a difference. i took along my pen and little notebook. i think i got a good 8 poems out of it. i'll type those up later tonight most likely.

i was a little pissed when mom told me what went on in her physical therapy session. the therapist disclosed to her that both of her ears are fucked up. so she more or less has Meniere's Disease in both ears. no wonder she feels like she's nuts most days. i'm pissed that the doctor that did her last procedure never told her this. he's the fucker that had it down in her medical record but never told her. so it looks like i will be driving mom around more and more, especially when she has these physical therapy sessions. and i'm also basically going to have to play the asshole and force her to use her cane all the time. good times.

it has been raining here all day long and is getting ready to change over to snow. my aches and pains have now become a splitting headache. hello alcohol. i have heard we are going to get anywhere from 1 to 4 inches of snow. i guess i'll be inside for tomorrow. i should be able to get my laundry done, that's for sure.

i'll be on here tomorrow sometime after Manchester United plays the second leg of the Europa League. they better fucking win.

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:

this is what happens when you actually read the newspaper

i'm in a bit of a weird head space at the moment. read the newspaper a few hours ago and came across the news that the father of one of my ex-girlfriends died yesterday. so, now i'm sinking in a flood of memories. for the few of you that have known me forever, this is the father of the older Portuguese woman i was madly in love with 15 years ago. the odd part is that Dianna and i haven't spoke in over 11 years now. to go from best friends to incommunicado for over a decade hasn't been an easy pill to swallow. that being said, i'm truly sorry for your loss. my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. i would type here if you need anything... but you're still married so i'm not expecting these shoulders to be used. but, the number and address are the same, just in case...

it's getting ready to rain here. could be bad storms, could be drizzle. i don't trust any of these fuckers with the weather anymore. as long as the power stays on and the DIRECTV signal stays strong, i'm good.

torn on if i should watch the Yankees tonight or not. the last time Baltimore was competitive was 15 years ago. and i'm already in that head space to begin with. i only like one mind fuck at a time. but, i don't see me watching the stand up to cancer shit tonight and further depressing myself. i've lost too many loved ones to that hideous disease. i'm hoping to check out Nick & Artie debuting on DIRECTV tonight. go to www.nickandartie.com for more information.

other than that, who knows. maybe i'll just thrown on some Coltrane and watch it rain. yeah, that should really pump me up for the music festival tomorrow. reminds me of a homeless guy i met when i was 17 in downtown Dayton. we were smoking some cigarettes together and he noticed i was bummed out. girl problems as normal. he laughed. told me that's what i fucking get for having feelings. that kind of stuck with me. do i become cold or do i accept the pain?

i believe we already know the answer.

if i happen to take any photos or have any great stories to tell from the festival, i will post them over the weekend or on Monday.

music today:

Hayes Carll - Trouble In Mind
Guided By Voices - Alien Lanes
Marilyn Manson - Smells Like Children
