nothing like night storms...

 so, around 5 this morning, i rolled over in bed and felt every bone in my body crack. i looked at my phone and sure enough, it was raining. i never remembered any of the weather forecasts saying anything about rain. it was just supposed to be hotter than shit today. well, they got that part correct so far. not sure how much rain we got, but it was certainly enough to give me another shitty night of sleep.

the Yankees actually won last night, defeating the Nationals, 9-1. they are currently trailing the Nationals today in the 9th, 5-4. 

FC Cincinnati pissed away a 2-0 lead last night against Inter Miami. they never could find that 3rd goal and that gave Lionel Messi the chance to work his magic. 2 amazing assists later and the game went to extra time 2-2. Inter Miami scored in the first part of extra time. FC Cincinnati scored in the second part of extra time to make it 3-3. Inter Miami won the penalty shootout, 5-4. so, Inter Miami will face the Houston Dynamo in the finals of the U.S. Open Cup.

AEW Dynamite was pretty good last night.

Big Brother was very good last night. looks like we have a sneaky backdoor eviction coming this week. fingers crossed that Hisam will be evicted tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, NJPW and What We Do in the Shadows.

the Yankees just lost today to the Nationals, 6-5. that is basically what the Yankees are now, just good enough to lose to shit teams. they start a series tomorrow at that dump down in Tampa.

i have to go to Rite Aid to get some pills, so that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

nada como las tormentas nocturnas

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...

happy birthday to my sister...

i know i don't say this as much as i should, but i am very proud of my sister and love her. she has done a truly amazing job with her life of getting her degree, making her money, not being mired in debt and living the life she wants to live. i didn't make it easy for her being a year ahead of her in school. all the book shit came easy to me, it never did for her. then of course, our asshole father gambled away the college money, and i took the hit by going to work in a factory so my sister could go to college. she called her freshman year wanting to quit and i told her she wasn't allowed to. thankfully, she listened. now, i'm hoping to talk her out of wanting to own property in the south. i'm hoping the news of these hurricanes will open her eyes. it's not likely, since the first thing she said was maybe the prices will be cheaper now. i'm not sure she realizes how much she thinks like her father when it comes to money. happy 40th birthday to my sister. be happy you don't look your age.

it was nice to see the Patriots get beat last night. Kansas City destroyed them 42-27.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Fuck, That's Delicious Classics was excellent last night.

Big Brother was really good last night. i can't believe Jason actually thought he wasn't going to be evicted. Raven was the second eviction. yet again, another shot pissed away to get Paul out. Josh is the new HOH. i haven't heard who he is going to nominate yet.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be VICE, NJPW, Real Time with Bill Maher, Treehouse Masters and Room 104.

the New York Yankees start a series tonight in Texas against the Rangers. hopefully they can start stringing some wins together.

i'm not sure how long we'll be in Columbus tonight. i'm really interested to see how mom does. she hasn't been on this long of a car ride in a long time. plus, since her vision stinks at the moment, i'm kind of wondering how she'll do in a completely different environment. i figure we won't be closing the place down, that's for sure.

i'll be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays Stoke City.

between the hurricanes and that earthquake in Mexico, it certainly feels like the world is coming to an end. i'm sure it will all be Obama's fault somehow.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i hope everyone in Florida is prepared.

these hands were made for pain

my mother and i worked on the garage for hours yesterday. i got done just in time to watch the horse race. that made me happy. of course, when i walked out there this morning and saw shit barely hanging on the wall, i knew the work wasn't done. we were trying to use this spray adhesive so we wouldn't have to use thumbtacks. so, i was busing using the thumbtacks this morning. my fingers are in so much fucking pain right now. which of course, is why i'm typing. when your mantra is find the pleasure in the pain, you sort of need the pain in order to find the pleasure. funny how that works. the garage does look different. my sister will shit the next time she is here.

i was happy to see American Pharoah become the first horse to win the grand slam yesterday. that's certainly the horse i have been waiting my entire adult life for.

i more or less flipped between college football, NBA, NHL and cooking shows last night. the Saturday Night Live Halloween special was the same one they ran a few years ago. ROH was really good. i still have it on the DVR, as i will probably watch it again later today. Austin City Limits was excellent last night.

the Sacramento Kings lost a nail biter yesterday, 114-109. no shame in losing to a Clippers team that should be great this season. after 3 games this season, i do believe the Kings will be MUCH better this season. not sure if they will make the playoffs, but they will be closer than anyone thinks at this point of the season.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Homeland, The Affair and Last Week Tonight.

the New Orleans Saints take on the New York Giants today. hopefully the Saints can keep the winning going.

my fantasy hockey team pulled even last night. not sure if i've got enough players going tonight to squeak out a victory. but i can live with 5-5 for the week.

i'm an underdog in all 3 of my fantasy football matchups today. my winning streak is bound to end sometime.

the evil side of me would love to see the Mets lose the World Series at home tonight. i won't be watching, but i know i would enjoy it.

i hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween. hope your Dia de los Muertos will be even better.

it's even hot in the shade

with the heat index in the upper 90's today, i was happy to find plenty of shit to do in the house today. my laundry, the trash, clean the toilets, etc. of course, my back has been killing me since i woke up this morning. more or less, i guess my life is about it being no fucking picnic.

i went searching for some music on NoiseTrade last night and found some really good stuff. i'll put the links below in the music section.

the New York Yankees kept on winning last night, beating Texas 6-2. when the Yankees got behind 2-0 i was a little curious to see how they would respond. well, next inning, they scored 3 and never looked back. A-Rod homered on his 40th birthday. i love that he is playing so well that people think he's on drugs again. i really couldn't give a shit either way. as long as the team wins, that's all that matters. hopefully the winning continues again tonight.

Monday Night Raw had some really great moments and then a few head scratching moments that drove me nuts. i love that the divas are getting more time. plus, anytime Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Paige or Becky Lynch wrestles, i'm watching. i was interested to see Kevin Owens and Randy Orton wrestle. of course, when i saw Sheamus out there, i knew there wouldn't be a clean finish. 10 minutes later, i was correct. the John Cena vs. Seth Rollins match was great, once again an opponent brought something out of Cena. now, i'll give John props for wrestling with the broken nose, but i'll never understand why they have this fucker win as much as they do. it's not like the kids won't still love him if he loses from time to time. and why do you bury your World Champion? it makes no fucking sense. but, i will always get a good chuckle at this photo from now on:

enjoy some music boys and girls:

there was some pretty funny shit on last night. enjoy some laughs:

and here is some more funny shit:

tonight on the DVR will be WWE Tough Enough (i wonder who replaces Hulk Hogan), Total Divas, Deadliest Catch and Tyrant. i'll probably watch it all tonight as i got the feeling i'm going to be in bed most of the rest of the day.

nothing like bending over to clean a toilet and you feel like you're in your late 80's all of a sudden. and my arthritis in my hands completely reminds me of what my grandmother went through. her fingers looked like a skeleton in a comic book by the time she was in her 70's. i get the feeling i'm on that path. the only difference is i won't have a cigarette burning down in one of mine like she did. of course, if pot ever becomes legal, all bets are off.

that's all for me today. no updates on the family front. i suppose that's appropriate, given how my life has gone.

hope everyone had a great day or lunch or a jerk in the shower. whatever it takes my friends.

a little spring in winter

it got over 50 degrees today. as the guy said on the radio, that probably means we'll have a foot of snow to deal with in March. i, of course, didn't take advantage of the good weather. i've been inside most of today, readying poems for a birthday submission. that's a sure sign that i'm fucked in the head.

last night was a pretty good night of television. Gotham was totally fucking awesome. just when i think that show can't get any better, it does by leaps and bounds. i can't wait for this to come out on DVD or something so i can own it and watch it for every beautiful detail.

the Men in Blazers was pretty funny last night. my mother watched a bit of it as well and was laughing pretty hard at them. i just wish the show was longer. 30 minutes flies by way too quickly.

Monday Night Raw was really good last night. mostly because the veterans were booked great and the surprises truly were the holy shit kind of surprises that reminded me why i love pro wrestling. here are a few clips that made me feel like a child again:

and then Jimmy Fallon reminded me of just how damn hot Jennifer Lopez still is:

i slept pretty good last night. i'm still not happy about waking up around 5 each morning, but i guess i'm just fucking old now. by this time tomorrow, i'll be even older.

tonight will be an interesting one for me. the New York Rangers come on at 7 with their game against Ottawa. and then at 7:30 the Dayton Flyers play at Davidson. so, there's either going to be a ton flipping back and forth or one game will be on mute on the television and the other game will be on the radio. either way, my mom is going to be fucking pissed within 20 minutes. good times.

hopefully i'll be enjoying a couple of victory beers later tonight.

i think in the morning tomorrow i will be emailing some poems out and getting all my mail ready to send. then, i'm hoping my truck starts and i really need to get a fucking haircut. i believe late in the afternoon/early evening, mom is playing on taking me out to eat. i'm guessing sports bar as in all honestly, i'm just a cheap whore.

so, i'm guessing i will be back on here after all that. if not, send a search party.

hard to believe my grandmother would have been 103 today. sadly, she's been somewhere else for the last 22 birthdays.

i highly urge you to read this and share it with anyone and everyone:
http://allymalinenko.com/2015/01/20/welcome-to-cancerland/

that's all for me today. i have to go make dinner as mom is finally trying to take care of her pulled groin. of course, who am i to talk as this pinched nerve or whatever the fuck is ailing me in my left arm isn't getting any better. i suppose the difference is i'm crazy enough to accept the pain and just move on and she isn't. or, maybe i don't want to spend my birthday in a doctor's office. either way, i'm sure you're thinking, just finish this fucker already.

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

it's good to stay busy when it's really fucking cold

i set out this morning to get the poems out nice and early. little did i know that my stomach had different plans. but, once i got that handled, it was typing time.

i sent out 23 poems today. 3 you might have already seen, as they were published at Dead Snakes. i sent out 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Trailer Park Quarterly, Conduit, and Carcinogenic Poetry. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts. i've sent to a couple new places to me, so i'm hoping for some good news.

mom was busy/sick today, so i did most of the running around. i knew i better get some cat food as i was really low. i managed to get that. i do love how i intimidate people in public. grow a long goatee and watch people think they better not fuck with you. good times.

i had one young cat die on me today. it must have died overnight as i remember it eating yesterday afternoon. the scary thing is it only got to around -5 with the windchill this morning. i'm wondering how many are going to die when it hits -30 with the windchill tonight. i guess i better bring a shovel along with me tomorrow when i go to feed them.

my left arm isn't getting any better. i'm trying my best to not use it much. i know i see the doctor in a few months. my stubborn ass will probably wait until then, or at least until it falls off.

i watched a few college basketball games last night. i took it as a great sign that the same Ole Miss team that Dayton beat almost won at #1 Kentucky last night.

tonight is another crazy night of television for me. first off will be Lucha Underground. i'm really looking forward to that. then, i'm going to give TNA a shot on their new channel. hopefully it won't be a waste of my time. after that, i'll be watching American Horror Story. i'm so happy that is back. but, of course, i have something else i need to watch at the same time. the New York Rangers are out on the west coast tonight and tomorrow. Anaheim should be a good test for the boys. needless to say, i'll be up late tonight. hopefully drinking a victory beer. mostly to stay warm.

i've done my best to make sure none of the fucking pipes freeze tonight. that's the last fucking thing i need with the farm right now. now, hopefully the electricity stays on all evening.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i suppose sometime after dead cat detail.

i hope everyone is warm and enjoying life or perhaps just this moment. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

stuck out in the rain

we got a little rain last night. but, just a few hours after it, it didn't look like we got much. it was already dry. so, i said we needed a nice long rain. well, guess who got fucking stuck out in the rain today? right after i got done feeding the animals, i was walking out the door to go to town to get the mail and sure enough, it starts to rain. by the time i am down at the end of the lane, it is coming down in sheets. just my luck, the trash cans didn't have the lids on and the huge recycle bin was already collecting water. needless to say, by the time i got back in the truck from getting the paper, i was fucking soaked. it was spooky driving as the dumb fucks out here in the sticks rarely turn on their lights when it is raining. thankfully, i wasn't the truck that nearly got swiped by the trash truck. i was 200 feet back from that near disaster. and wouldn't you know it, the second i step out of the post office, it stops raining. talk about wanting to punch mother nature right in the face.

hope everyone enjoys my new YouTube videos. got that inspiration while i was taking the trash down yesterday. i figured i was going to take pictures of the new kittens anyway. why not just make it an adorable video with a dirty poem included. i love my creative outbursts.

finally got to talk to, let's just call her, my dream woman, on the phone today. such an amazing, thick accent. incredibly sexy. of course, these old ears are going to have a hell of a time hearing her through the static. she is in Alaska of course. that figures. no woman that is TRULY into me would live anywhere near me. oh well. time to strap in for the crazy ride once again.

you know it is getting ready for fantasy football time when you see this video come out:

since golf ran late last night, i only got to see bits and pieces of Big Brother. man, i wish Frankie would get out of the house soon. Ray Donovan was good once again. The Strain was great as usual, although it seemed like there was a ton of commercials in it last night. Last Week Tonight was funny as hell last night. Masters of Sex was good once again as well. i'm liking this season more than the first one.

as for tonight, i figure i will be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening. it's Hulk Hogan's birthday, so i figure the show will be a trip down memory lane.

the Yankees lost again yesterday, 4-1, to ruin what could have been a great home stand. they face some must win games in Baltimore starting tonight if they really want to go to the playoffs this season.

i decided to treat myself today and cashed in some of my survey points to get some iTunes gift codes. you'll see that madness below.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. mine was a little sad when i heard the news of the death of a former Dayton basketball player. http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/24656114/college-hoops-journeyman-matt-derenbecker-found-dead-in-pool way too young. rest in peace Matt.

that's all for today. see you again sometime tomorrow...

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, love, peace, hate mail, etc.
