like squeezing water out of a rock...

 this is how i have talked about writing poems here lately. now, last night, i managed to get 4 poems out of that rock. whenever i write a line that sends a shiver down my back, i know i'm on to something. hopefully, i'll get a few more written this weekend.

so, the New York Rangers surprised me this afternoon. they traded their captain to Anaheim for a cheaper defenseman and a 4th round draft pick. the coup in the trade was Anaheim took on the contract. the Rangers didn't have to retain any salary. so, now they have plenty of cap space and 3 first round draft picks to go get something to really galvanize this team. 

the Rangers play tonight at home against Pittsburgh.

Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage was pretty funny last night.

NJPW was good last night.

the NFL game last night between the Packers and Lions was really good. the Lions won, 34-31.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and AEW Rampage. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

so, the Rangers just signed their goalie to an extension that is 8 years and 92 million. crazy crazy day.

other than hockey tonight, i might watch some college football.

i'm going to try to get some Christmas shit up this weekend around the house. mom has said she's leaving it up to me, so it might just be the Charlie Brown Christmas tree and that's it.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

the Christmas cards will be going out on Monday, sort of.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i need to get started on dinner tonight.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning before Manchester United plays.

until tomorrow kids...

the bags under my eyes...

 i really wanted to get some sleep last night. but, i also knew i hadn't written any poems yet this month. so, of course, the poems won out. i was up around 6:30 this morning. at least i got 4 fucking hours of sleep. our contractor showed up at 7:30. i guess they are pulling him from this job to go do another. of course, he hasn't finished everything here yet. i guess he will be back here on Thursday, the same day the appliances are supposed to finally be here. so, i'm expecting that day to be pure fucking chaos.

Christmas at the Opry last night was ok.

NJPW was very good last night.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

not exactly how i wanted to start my weekend...

 so, i got up this morning and made sure i would be ready to get to the appointment i made to get the oil changed and a new tire for the Highlander. i made it to the dealership with a few minutes to spare. after about 45 minutes, the guy that was handling my appointment told me that they couldn't patch the tire as the hole seems to be from a previous patch. they, for some fucking reason, didn't have a tire in stock to match the ones already on the Highlander. i asked him to go check if he had any others in stock that would do the job as the vehicle is 20 years old, i couldn't give two shits if the tires are all the same. he came back a few minutes dumbfounded once again and told me they didn't have any tires in stock to fit the Highlander. he told me he could order one and have it here by Monday. i said ok, and then went back to his office. he called me down about 10 minutes later to say the Highlander was ready to go. he then told me the first appointment he had available to replace the tire would be December 13th. not exactly the few days from now i was expecting. i then told the guy i couldn't wait that long and would have to get it done somewhere else. i paid for the oil change and then left. i had to go to Rite Aid and get a new blood pressure cuff for mom. when i told her what was going on, she couldn't believe it. now, the beauty of all this is there is no damn tire place around here where i can just drive the Highlander there and get a new tire put on without a damn appointment. so, i'm hoping i can figure out something this weekend and maybe get fucking lucky and get a new tire on the Highlander before fucking Christmas. 

and for the cherry on top of my fucking day, i heard back from Tiffany at Ephemeral Elegies on my poetry submission from back in October. she decided to pass on the poems.

today at the World Cup, Uruguay defeated Ghana, 2-0. South Korea beat Portugal, 2-1. Switzerland beat Serbia, 3-2. and Cameroon upset Brazil, 1-0. those results meant that Brazil won Group G with Switzerland finishing second. Portugal won Group H with South Korea finishing second. Brazil will play South Korea and Portugal will play Switzerland.

tomorrow starts to the knockout portion of the tournament. this is when it really gets good. first up will be the Netherlands vs. USA and then Argentina takes on Australia.

i did watch a good portion of the Bills defeat of the Patriots last night.

Vice News Tonight had two fascinating episodes this week.

NJPW was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Young Rock. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Ottawa. hopefully, the boys can beat this team again.

i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. my first thought is it will be after the USA takes on Netherlands. but then again, if i have to run out and get the tire changed or pick up my pills at Rite Aid (which better be fucking ready since i run out of them on Sunday). or maybe, it will be after the Dayton Flyers game tomorrow afternoon. or, maybe i just wake up at the crack of fucking dawn like the old person i am and just get the blog done before everything starts tomorrow. your guess is as good as mine.

that being said, i hope everyone has a great weekend. 

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

oh yeah, that's why i hate the holidays...

 so, as if i'm not under enough fucking stress at the moment, it has come to my attention that my mother never paid my sister back for the house we are living in. my sister floated the money since the farm hadn't sold yet when we bought this house. i was under the impression that my mother paid her back when the farm was auctioned off. now, why my sister waited 6 fucking years to bring this up, i'm not sure. but, this goes back to my fear, that just like my father, my mother is going to leave me nothing. and my sister gets on my fucking nerves, but i do my best to not show it. take last night for example... i texted her around 6 to ask her if she was eating dinner with us. i don't hear anything until 8 when she tells my mother that we don't have to wait on her to eat, she can just warm up whatever i was making. now, i would have loved to have dinner around 7 because i'm not a big fan of eating while i am watching television. so, i made some fish and fries as that was the quickest thing i could make. and of course, i had to eat fast as i had to help my sister unload her car when she got here. maybe i'm just too simple minded to think college educated people who make 6 fucking figures can at least communicate like humans. 

AEW was really good last night.

Hard Knocks was really good last night.

The Masked Singer Christmas special last night was pretty good last night.

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight. NXT UK is a best of. i will probably watch some of college football games and the NFL game tonight between the 49ers and Titans.

i am currently watching the USA vs. Finland pre-tournament game for the World Juniors. that tournament begins the day after Christmas.

i did get some baseball cards yesterday and today. the cards yesterday were from a box at Rite Aid. there was about $10 worth of cards in it. the cards today were two Derek Jeter art cards. there was only 99 made of each, so being able to get both for $25 i thought was a good investment.

i am going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow. 

my best to you and yours.

drive safely if you traveling by road. have a little patience if you are flying. and may the alcohol be plenty for all you that have dysfunctional families like mine.

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.

like a punch to the dick...

let me preface this by saying, you should never lose a game that you had a 14 point lead in or get out rebounded like a boys team playing against men. that said, the way Dayton lost to Colorado yesterday was like a punch to the dick. the refs were fucking horrific. and i know i often complain about officiating, but normally it isn't the deciding factor in a game. yesterday was a different case. every possible call, either correct or judgment or just fucking make it up as you go along, went against Dayton. and to top it off, losing at the buzzer to a wide open 3 point shot to lose by 2 in overtime was salt in the fucking wounds. and to top it off again, Colorado's coach bitched after the game about so many Dayton fans at the game in Chicago. too bad the asshole coaches at a fucking school where no one cares about basketball because it's a football school. hopefully Dayton bounces back from this loss with an ass whipping tomorrow night at home.

now let me get to the shit show that was Manchester United this morning. how is it even fucking possible to defeat Tottenham and Manchester City and then turn around and lose 2-0 to Watford. to fucking Watford. unfucking believable. just as i had some belief that this team was going to actually make the top 4 this season, they turn in a fucking horrible performance, on the road, and erase all fucking hope completely. thank god i fell asleep for some of it.

Saturday Night Live was fucking great last night. i laughed my ass off at all the old characters i remembered from my youth from Eddie Murphy. probably the best show of the season so far.

ROH was pretty good last night.

i did watch some of the college basketball games, NFL and NHL last night. after the Dayton game, all i really wanted to see was some fucking violence. at least the boxing last night gave me that.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Dublin Murders, Ray Donovan and Shameless.

the New York Rangers play this afternoon at home against Anaheim. i would love to see them end their losing streak.

the New Orleans Saints play a tough road game today at Tennessee. i would be thrilled if the Saints got a huge road win today.

between the Dayton loss and Manchester United loss, my anger and stress is through the fucking roof at the minute. two more losses this afternoon and shit will be broken in no time.

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

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow. mom has physical therapy Monday afternoon. i have a basketball game Monday night. so, if my ass is up early enough, i might pound one out in the morning. i'm not even in the mood to think of that as dirty either.

until tomorrow kids...
