a quick hitter

i have been sleepy as fuck all day long. i think i may be getting sick. just what the fuck i need. looks like we're going to have some crazy fucking weather this weekend. maybe 6 to 10 inches of snow. maybe a few inches of ice. just fucking great.

i did watch Duck Dynasty, Legit, and Ali G last night. all 3 had me laughing, especially Legit. Jim Jefferies is one of my favorite comedians.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Chicago. hopefully there is no post Olympic break rust.

i did see all of the cats today. that's another sign that some kind of weather is coming soon.

not sure what i'll be watching after hockey tonight. not that it matters, i seem to fall asleep every few hours anyway.

that's pretty much all for today. just another cold day on the farm where i'm bouncing between music sites and porn sites. good times.

i hope this finds everyone well.

peace and chicken grease...

some miracles come out of nowhere

i was watching the NFL game last night and somewhere around the 3rd quarter, i started to panic. my fantasy football team needed points from the 49ers defense, who quite frankly weren't doing shit. so, i ran to the computer and checked the scores. i was 4 points behind. then, after a punt return i was .4 points behind. fast forward to the 4th quarter and i'm still trailing. the Falcons had just scored and looked like they were getting ready to score again. and i'm muttering to myself, i need an interception returned for a touchdown, over and over again. and right after i mumble that this is what i get for trusting a defense ran by some fuck from Michigan, my early Christmas miracle happens. an interception returned for a touchdown. i immediately ran to the computer to watch the score get updated. i won the game by 8 points or so. not bad when i was trailing by 13 to start the night. i'm really thankful my mother wasn't filming me as i was one of these over jubilant assholes acting nuts. i think she was more thankful that nothing was going to be destroyed now. so, i'll be in the finals of this league as well. first time in the decade plus i've been playing in multiple leagues that i have gone to the finals in 2 of them in the same year. hopefully i do a much better job in this final.

and to go from that elation to the good news from Nerve Cowboy today was simply amazing. and the poem they accepted is one of my recent favorites. i'll pimp that issue for sure when it comes out.

the New York Rangers did something last night that i'm not accustomed to this season; win 2 games in a row. a 2-1 shootout victory over Toronto. of course, the game never should have gone to overtime, but i'll gladly take the 2 points. it's very apparent the officials need some time off as well. here are the highlights:

i didn't watch much of Monday Night Raw at all last night. it was taped last week, so i already knew what was going to happen. i did like the news of Batista returning. that should make for some interesting story lines. plus, he returns on the Raw the day before my birthday.

not sure what i'm going to watch this evening. maybe A Christmas Story, maybe the college football game, hell, maybe i'll just write this evening away. i did have a little fun decorating my art set last night. a good place for some stickers. maybe i'll break out some of that and do some art tonight. given how fucking cold it is here, i might just sleep.

not sure what i'm going to do on Christmas day. i get the feeling mom and i might end up at Waffle House. that might make for some interesting poems. i do have planned what i'm going to put on this blog tomorrow. stay tuned.

wherever you are in the world, i hope you have a wonderful Christmas or whatever you choose to celebrate. be safe, be well, enjoy it.

a day of the blahs

i always find it funny how cell phones lose a signal at all the wrong times. i wonder why i still don't have one....

watched Patrice O'Neal's brilliant comedy special "Elephant in the Room" again. if you haven't seen it, buy it or find some clips on YouTube. funny, funny shit. such a shame he's gone. way too soon.

team USA takes on Brazil tonight. should be interesting to see if the boys are ready to play with the big boys or if the Scotland match was just a classic dick tease.

only one cd found my ears today, not that i'm complaining.

Howlin' Wolf - The Definitive Collection

if i had a voice like that...

maybe hell will freeze over tonight and the Yankees won't get swept (i doubt it) and i'll actually get a good night of sleep (i doubt it again)

the customary goodbye quote, from one of my favorites. as soon as my high school english teacher knew i read him, i was soon in independent study and actually enjoying school for a change.
