when no news is good news

thankfully, my eyes haven't got any worse from the last time i saw the eye doctor. that basically means i don't new glasses. also, the spot on my eye (the spot that kept me from getting any good sleep last night) was the same size as last year. so it might just be pigment after all.

after that good news, mom and i took some stuff back that we bought the other day and then went out to breakfast. it's always nice when you have an attractive waitress with a you sure you don't work in the phone sex industry kind of voice. needless to say, there will be some poems.

speaking of poems, i heard back from Raw Dog Press on my poetry submission from yesterday. they have passed on this batch but have asked me to send more in 2016.

and while we're on the topic of poems, here's the last Flashback Friday of 2015. back in 2007, Zygote in My Coffee put out a chapbook of mine online, The Ramblings of an Agitated Asshole. Brian even paid me for it, which is rare in this world. $15 for 8 poems. good times. here is a link to the poems: http://www.zygoteinmycoffee.com/90s/issue94jjchapbook.html
enjoy.

my mother found out today she has colitis. i guess since she has to really change her diet, mine will be changing as well. hopefully the pills they are putting her on will help her.

The Big Bang Theory was hilarious last night. the preview for next week looks even better. Life in Pieces was great as well last night.

i did ok in fantasy football, although my opponents did better. i did pick the game right last night. i also watched a good portion of the Sacramento Kings last night. while i was happy they won, they certainly could be so much better. though, this play did get me out of my chair:

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

tonight on the DVR will be Undateable, NJPW and The Knick.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Edmonton. i'm really hoping they can get a win tonight as i really could use a victory beer. i will be recording the ceremony for Glen Sather that happens before the game. that should be a nice trip back into my hockey youth.

i did happen to watch that Daft Punk documentary last night on Showtime. i didn't learn anything new but it was a nice 90 minutes back into time for me.

i believe i'm going to go to the grocery store with mom later today. i figure i better go as the late Friday afternoon crowds usually piss her off someway. plus, she has a list from next door as well.

i will most likely be on here tomorrow after the Manchester United game. if they happen to lose again, it may be well after the game when i get back on here. but it will most likely be before i'm out of the house to go see the Dayton Flyers play.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. may the drinks be flowing, the food be cooked perfectly and remember, only fuck the ones that cough.

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 want you to see video of the day:

not a good sign

there's nothing quite like waking up at 6 in the morning because the power has gone out. thankfully, it was only out for 6 minutes. but when the temps are somewhere around 10, all i could think of what i was going to have to burn to stay warm. so all my books from shitty writers can rest easy for the time being.

the New York Rangers proved last night why closed door meetings don't work. they lost 4-1 to a Nashville team that had lost five straight before last night. i just love when we're the team everyone gets healthy against. what a great fucking feeling. i'm really at the point now where i don't give a shit when they play next (ok, that's me letting off steam, they play tomorrow against Columbus).

made my football picks today. i've gone 25-7 the last 2 weeks. not too shabby. my fantasy teams are lined up. i have a ton of players playing tomorrow night. hopefully it's a high scoring game so i can get a good jump on my opponents this week. losing in the first round of the playoffs truly fucking suck. been there way too many times before.

looking forward to a new episode of Duck Dynasty tonight. i believe it is the Christmas episode. i'll go right from that to American Horror Story. what a nice transition, rednecks to witches.

i was one off on my prediction for the final 3 on The Voice last night. 2 from Team Adam made it (the 2 i really like) and Jacquie made it from team Xtina. it was a really good episode last night. this competition is now Tessanne's to lose.

that's pretty much all for me. spent most of today getting addresses ready and watching some bad European soccer. now i'm off to take a shower to warm up and sit in front of the television as the temps plunge back to the single digits now that the sun has gone down. hope everyone is well and warm.
