with a little snow falling down...

today is one of those days where i could end up madder than hell or walking on the fucking clouds by the end of it. 

the snow started to fall this morning a little bit after i woke up. i just got the Sunday paper and it's not really sticking too bad. i know the "experts" said we could get 2 to 4 inches of snow today.

the New York Rangers tweaked their lineup a bit last night and it worked. their effort was about 1000% better than their first game. the Rangers won last night, 5-0. 

ROH was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Batwoman, Shameless and Your Honor.

Manchester United plays in a little bit against Liverpool. i won't be able to watch the match since i don't have Peacock, so i'll follow it on my phone. i really hope United finds a way to win today.

the Dayton Flyers play George Washington today on a neutral court. they moved the game from Washington D.C. (for fairly obvious reasons) to the campus of George Mason. hopefully, Dayton can keep on winning.

the New Orleans Saints play this evening at home against Tampa Bay. they will be looking to beat Tom Brady for the 3rd time this year. if they win, they will travel to Green Bay for the NFC Championship game next week.

with tomorrow being a holiday, i will probably be on here early tomorrow.

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

until tomorrow kids...

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

when the New Orleans Saints got down 14-0 yesterday, i wasn't happy. thankfully, the team woke up in the second quarter and showed just how dangerous they can be in the playoffs. Michael Thomas set the NFL record for receptions in a season. he still has a game to go. the Saints won 38-28. right now, they are the 2 seed in the NFC playoffs. hopefully, the Vikings beat the Packers tonight and the Saints will be one step closer to that #1 seed.

the New York Rangers ended their losing streak yesterday with a dominating 5-1 win over Anaheim. they play tonight at Philadelphia.

Dublin Murders was excellent last night. the season finale is next week.

Ray Donovan was very good last night.

Happy Christmas Eve Eve

no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i think my sister is supposed to get down here in the evening of Christmas Eve. she leaves Christmas day because she has to work the next day.

i'm off to go ice down my back and get ready to take mom to her physical therapy.

can't sleep, might as well be productive...

i haven't been able to sleep more than 4 hours a night since my procedure. of course, it's not like i was sleeping so much more before it either. but, last night, i decided i might as well be productive. i finished my Christmas shopping. apparently, between the Amazon gift cards i had and my American Express points, i had enough to cover everything for my mother and sister. that was a welcome surprise at 2:45 in the morning.

i put out our simple outside Christmas decorations this morning when i went to get the paper. wreaths around the 3 lights and a Christmas flag. good enough.

Manchester United lost in the Europa League yesterday, 2-1. considering it was the youngest Manchester United side ever, i'm not going to go apeshit over it. but, this also means they need to win their final match in group play if they actually want to win the group now.

the New Orleans Saints defeated Atlanta last night, 26-18. they clinched the NFC South for the 3rd straight season. they still have plenty to play for though. they control their own destiny if they want the number 1 seed in the playoffs.

i did watch the other football games and some college basketball yesterday.

i will need to go to the local grocery store at some point today. i have 1 slice of bread left.

on the eve of something...

i had to run out to the store today to get some eggs for mom. i think nearly 3/4 of the town i live in was at the fucking grocery store. it's obvious i live in a area full of procrastinators. the drug store wasn't much better. the number of men doing their Christmas shopping there brought me a chuckle.

yesterday went pretty good for me. of course, i didn't sleep worth a shit, once again. nothing quite like feeling like you're being responsible by going to sleep before 1 in the morning and you see the clock then at 4, 5, and again at 6. eventually, i just gave up and got the fuck out of bed. i'm sure i'll pay for it tonight.

the New Orleans Saints won a crazy fucking game yesterday against Pittsburgh, 31-28. that gives the Saints home field advantage throughout the playoffs. if all goes well, they have 4 games left this season. 3 at home and a trip to Atlanta for the Super Bowl. my sister wasn't here for the game. that's probably for the best, as it was her favorite player that had the fumble that cost the Steelers the game. now, they most likely won't make the playoffs.

the New York Rangers lost to Philadelphia last night in the shootout, 3-2. well, at least they got a point out of the game.

Ray Donovan was really good last night.

Escape at Dannemora was excellent last night. the show filled in a ton of the back story last night. that should make the finale next week even better.

nothing on the DVR tonight. i'll probably watch some of Monday Night Raw and a little of the football game tonight between Denver and Oakland. other than that, maybe some Christmas movies, but nothing really exciting.

sometimes, magic does happen...

i got a line stuck in my head last night that i thought could make an amazing poem. so there i was, 3:30 in the morning, pounding out some lines and not exactly drunk, but certainly with a good buzz. i typed the 2 page poem up this morning. it's really good. i'm hoping it won't be my last poem of 2018. but, if it is, it's a good way to finish off a crazy fucking year.

so i sent an email out last night at like 2 in the morning to my last former best friend. i'm really hoping it brings some fucking closure to all of this. i have 2 goals in 2019. write a fucking poem that finally gets me nominated for the Pushcart Prize. next, i want to eliminate all the toxic shit in my life; relationships, fear, anxiety, all of it.

i figure i can accomplish this by being as productive as possible. i'd like to think i started that in 2018, but i want to take it so many steps past what i have done this year... this is normally where i would wax poetic by saying god willing or some other bullshit. my goal is to push as much urgency as possible into my body so it bleeds out of me.

the Dayton Flyers won yesterday, 81-69. considering they were up by 28 at halftime, i wasn't exactly pleased with the final score. at some point this season, this team has to realize when you have your boot on another team's neck, you apply pressure, you don't let up. thankfully, it finally sounded like the coach was annoyed with it in the post game press conference. finally.

i got home and watched my recording of the Manchester United game. oh, what a breath of fresh fucking air. United won yesterday 5-1. that's the first time they have scored 5 goals in the Premier League since Sir Alex left. now, i know they won't play like that every game, but it was so fucking nice to see they know that kind of game still exists in their DNA.

i did watch a good portion of the NFL game last night between the Ravens and Chargers. i don't think anyone will want to play Baltimore in the playoffs this year.

i also watched some boxing last night and most of the New York Rangers game. the Rangers lost in Toronto 5-3. i think the game showed the talent gap between both teams. oh well. the Rangers play tonight at home against Philadelphia.

ROH was a recap of the best matches of 2018 last night. next week will be a recap of the women's matches. it was a fun hour of television.

having lost the ability to sleep well years ago...

i would love to actually sleep in one of these mornings. you know, something like a 10 to 12 hour coma, just to recharge the batteries. i sleep maybe a good 3 to 4 hours anymore. that's more or less, a glorified nap. my brain never shuts off. and eventually, i know i will have no choice but to allow the chaos inside of me to run the show and die from it. good times.

the Dayton Flyers lost last night at Auburn 82-72. Dayton had 23 turnovers in the game. that's a recipe for losing, that's for sure. other than that, Dayton was good enough to actually have a chance in the game. oh well.

the New York Rangers won last night over Florida, 5-4. the Rangers couldn't hold a lead worth a shit last night, so they had to win the game in the shootout.

Atlanta won the MLS Cup last night with a 2-0 win over Portland.

after that is over, i'll probably get started on getting everything ready to take to the post office tomorrow. if you happen to be lucky enough to get something from me this year, check your mailboxes in the next few days.

i'm not sure if mom wants to start putting up the Christmas decorations today or not. she took down the Thanksgiving shit last night.

i'll probably be on here tomorrow after i get back from the post office.

the day after...

i have never gone out shopping for Black Friday. i'm just not that big of a fan of capitalism to participate. today is no exception. i'm only planning on going out to the grocery store this afternoon because mom has pills that need to be picked up.

i was hoping to get most or all of my Christmas shopping done yesterday, but of course that didn't happen. i usually use my credit card rewards to get gift cards to cover what i will get at Amazon.com for Christmas. well, none of my rewards programs do e-gift cards for Amazon anymore. so, whenever the cards arrive in the mail, i'll have enough to get my shopping done.

if anyone would like to donate some money to me, my PayPal account will gladly accept it.

the Dayton Flyers hung with Virginia for most of the game yesterday. it really pissed me off that Dayton's coach thought his team could out Virginia Virginia and win the game that way. they needed to up the tempo greatly and get Virginia to play faster than they wanted to. instead, he chose the route where Dayton would have to play perfect to win. dumb ass. Dayton lost 66-59. well, at least they beat the spread. Dayton will play Oklahoma later this morning in the 3rd place game.

the New Orleans Saints won last night over Atlanta 31-17. that's 10 wins in a row for the Saints.

a happy thanksgiving to everyone out there. i wish you a great day and plenty of alcohol to get through the dysfunction.

Vice News Tonight had some great shows this week.

the Dayton Flyers shocked the shit out of me last night. they had a great start against Butler last night in the Bahamas and never trailed in the game. now, i hate when they slow the game down late to milk the clock, but, once again, they survived bad coaching. Dayton defeated Butler 69-64. today at 4 PM they play #4 ranked Virginia. i'd love to see Dayton win, but i'm not expecting it. but, by winning the first game last night, they are guaranteed to play another name brand even if they lose this afternoon.

the New York Rangers finally beat the Islanders last night, 5-0. that stopped an eight game losing streak to the them. and it extended the Rangers home winning streak. they are playing so much better than i was expecting this season.

NXT was pretty good last night.

205 Live was good last night as well.

i could tell right away yesterday that Carolina was hell bent on stopping the New Orleans Saints from running the ball. thank god, Drew Brees accepted the challenge and was on fire for most of the game. other than the idiotic decision to go for it on 4th down in the 4th quarter, a decision that probably took a few years off of my life, the Saints did what they needed to do to advance in the playoffs. their 31-26 victory over Carolina earns them a date at Minnesota next Sunday.

the New York Rangers lost last night at Las Vegas, 2-1. they are now off on their bye week. they don't play again until Saturday afternoon. god willing they will get healthy during that time off.

i did watch the Golden Globes last night. i thought the monologue was pretty funny. i had no problem with most of the speeches. i did appreciate when some of the women did point out that not all men are pieces of shit. plus, i'm pretty sure Oprah is going to run for President.

we got a good amount of freezing rain today. i haven't even bothered to venture outside yet to get the paper and mail.

i do think my new arthritis medicine is working better than my old one. i haven't been as miserable as normal today. that's a good sign i suppose.

today begins the march...

after so many seasons of mediocrity, i'm so happy the New Orleans Saints actually have a team this season that has a chance to be remembered forever. that march starts today at home against Carolina. the Saints will have to do a difficult thing today, beat the same team 3 times in a season. but, i fully believe they can do it. if the Saints do win today, they will play in Minnesota in the next round.

after watching the Dayton Flyers yesterday, i was so damn happy i didn't go to the game. what pisses me off about their 62-60 loss to UMass, a team that was playing without 2 of their starters, was the coach of UMass is the coach i wanted Dayton to hire to replace Archie Miller. hopefully everyone that sits around me understands now why i wanted him to be the coach. and the more i listen to Anthony Grant talk after games, the more i'm starting to believe my conspiracy. the administration simply needs the team to be good by the time the UD Arena transformation is done. they will gladly accept mediocrity as they continue to sell what's coming in the future. as much as i really hope that rosy future arrives like they want, what fucking happens when it doesn't? it's so fucking painful to watch this team play when there is an obvious disconnect between coach and players. it's like watching a NBA team that is stuck in the middle. not bad enough to get a great draft pick and not good enough to do anything in the playoffs. i do know one thing, if this shit continues, i know a certain family member that isn't going to keep paying for tickets.

Austin City Limits was great last night.

the New York Rangers won last night out in Arizona, 2-1 in a shootout. thank god for The King. he stopped 38 of 39 shots against the worst team in the NHL. basically, at one point, you could see Hank tell his teammates to get the fuck out of the way, he's doing it by himself. the Rangers play tonight at Las Vegas.

ROH was excellent last night.

NJPW was 4 matches from Wrestle Kingdom 12 last night. i truly enjoyed the matches, especially Omega vs. Jericho and Okada vs. Naito.

not a bad way to start the weekend

i got up sort of early (or late) this morning and made some coffee. amazingly, my sister liked it. she's one of these snobs that drinks about a gallon of coffee a day. i just wanted to make sure i would be awake for the Manchester United game.

i was sort of leery about the game with Crystal Palace. they had been so bad this season, i could just see Manchester United not stepping on their throats and destroying them. thankfully, i had nothing to worry about. 3 minutes in, Juan Mata had already scored and the stroll in the park was on. United added 2 from Fellaini and 1 from Lukaku to comfortably win 4-0. that's an excellent way to head into the international break.

the New York Yankees got some great pitching yesterday (Tanaka with 15 strikeouts) and just enough clutch hits to defeat Toronto 4-0. Boston lost last night so the division lead is down to 2 with 2 games to play. yesterday was the first time the Yankees had won 90 games in 5 seasons. hopefully the Yankees get another win this afternoon.

the oil change for the car yesterday turned into a bit of a fiasco. apparently the brake lights weren't working and something was wrong with a tire. the guy was telling mom that you must have took it someplace to get a patch. mom went off saying that she bought the tires from where we were at and if there was any patch, it was done by your guys. that shut him up pretty quickly. about 45 minutes later, we were leaving. i had to sit and listen to Fox News for way too long while i was there. at least i understand why so much of this country is fucking stupid.

VICE was excellent last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher last night was fucking hilarious.

i didn't sleep well last night. i'm not sure if i was anxious to see if i got any gifts at all or the rain overnight was fucking with my arthritis to the point where i was in too much pain to sleep. whatever it was, it lasted the whole damn night.

i was happy when i opened up my email this morning and saw an email to get Run The Jewels new album for FREE. yes, please.

the New Orleans Saints won yesterday 31-24. that was a great present.

my sister and i watched The Night Before last night. that movie still makes me laugh.

i got some really good Christmas presents this year. new clothes that i needed, some Batman stuff that i can always use, my sister got me some cool fucking artwork from when she was out in Seattle, and cash and gift cards are always helpful.

i didn't notice, but the genius that sent the Jimmy Cliff cd i bought my sister sent two, so i got the other copy. my sister did like what i got her, although the one wine book i got she already had. so, now she has 2 of them.

my mother really liked what i got her this year, which really makes me happy. thankfully, i got everything this year for only $7. thank got for Amazon.com gift cards.

when i saw the news this morning of the Russian plane crash, the first thing i thought was karma. although i don't wish human tragedy on anyone, shit happens.

tomorrow is a bit of a clusterfuck. my sister leaves to go back home. Manchester United plays. the World Juniors tournament starts as the USA plays Latvia. so, at some point tomorrow, i'll find the time to get on here. i have no clue when the fuck that will be.

i hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. if all else fails, buy yourself something and drink it in a pretty glass.

the eve of something

so i woke up this morning with a splitting headache and a nuclear arms race starting back up. oh goody.

the Dayton Flyers did a decent job last night keeping my mind off of the pain i was in. they had 7 players score in double figures last night as they easily crushed VMI 92-56. Scoochie Smith got his 1,000th point last night and the team tied the school record with 15 3 pointers. they did all this with their best player, Charles Cooke, sitting out with a wrist injury. hopefully that will be better by the time the A-10 schedule starts on December 30th against La Salle.

i got home to find out the New York Rangers got beat by Minnesota 7-4. that's two straight games the Rangers have given up 7 goals. not fucking good. maybe the Christmas break is coming at the right time.

of course, it's a bizarre world when the Columbus Blue Jackets have the most points in the NHL at the Christmas break.

the New Orleans Saints play today at home against Tampa Bay. there is a small sliver of a chance for the Saints to make the playoffs. hopefully that chance still exists when they play today. i would love to see them win and basically screw up any chance for Tampa to make the playoffs.

i'm not sure what i'm doing this evening. usually my sister and i watch a movie on Christmas Eve. i think our new tradition is going to be the movie The Night Before. either that, or i might try the Westworld finale.

i hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas Eve. if you're shopping, good luck. if you're traveling, stay safe. if you're drinking, welcome aboard.

i hate my family just enough that i will probably be on here at some point tomorrow. as for now, i have a garage to rearrange. hopefully i will get that done before the Saints play.

this morning has been something close to a clusterfuck for me. we had the chili i made for dinner last night, so you can imagine where i have spent most of the morning. and then between bending over to clean out a litter box and lifting over 100 lbs. of trash and recyclables, i think most of this afternoon will be with ice on my back. just fucking lovely.

Ohio State beat Minnesota yesterday 31-24. it wouldn't have been that close if Ohio State wouldn't of had 3 turnovers. that should be their last tough game until the Big 10 Championship game.

the New York Rangers lost in a shootout last night 3-2. i didn't have a problem with the NHL getting the call right on Dan Boyle's shootout goal that wasn't. i did have a problem with how long it took them to figure it out. i did have a problem with Cindy Crosby whining and complaining to the refs ALL game long. if he ever wonders why no players in the league respect him, all he has to do is watch last night's game again. and how in the fuck does Malkin get to charge Girardi and he basically gets nothing for it. oh, that's right, everyone who works for the league is a bunch of ex-Rangers that hated their time in New York. i have to remind myself that from time to time when every fucking call goes against the Rangers. at least they got a point out of the game.

Saturday Night Live was really good last night.

ROH was great last night. the match between ACH and Jay Lethal was awesome.

today, the New Orleans Saints play the Bengals. hopefully, i'm drinking a victory beer around 4:30 this afternoon. the Saints are my guaranteed win of the week, so i really hope they win.

tonight will be the usual Sunday night shows; The Newsroom, Homeland, and The Affair. all 3 episodes look to be good.

i'll watch those and probably some of the Sunday night NFL game as well.

i still have to enter my fantasy teams into my DIRECTV receiver, so i'm a bit pissy this morning. i've only been trying for the last 3 hours.

both of my fantasy teams are favored to win this week. i doubt that happens.

and to top off everything today, we are under a Winter Weather Advisory. it's supposed to start really snowing tonight and won't stop until tomorrow afternoon. they are saying maybe 4 inches or more. and of course, mom and i have to be over at the new home for the house inspection tomorrow morning.

these are the days where i wish i had a needle and a gun.

hopefully your Saturday and Sunday are going much better than mine. and if they are not, drink a cold one and go piss on your neighbor's porch.

thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your time.

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...
