so, i watched the temperature drop 40 fucking degrees in just a few hours last night. the winds were so bad, they were blowing open the door to our garage inside of our house. i believe our high today was -2 degrees. i haven't bothered to venture outside to see if a paper or the mail have been delivered. i highly doubt either have. the guy who mom picked to do our driveway showed up this morning and asked if we wanted it done. mom said no, as it didn't look like we got much snow (less than 3 inches) and we weren't planning on going anywhere.
but, i did do a little creative shit today. some of you have seen the first fruits of that, with my latest SoundCloud recording. look for another little nugget of gold late tonight most likely.
the New York Rangers won last night over the Islanders, 5-3. they came from behind for this win and that made me very happy.
i did watch some of the Jets vs. Jaguars game last night. let's just say there was really no reason to watch after halftime.
NJPW was excellent last night.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:

and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and the final two episodes of Random Acts of Flyness. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
the New York Knicks play tonight at home against Chicago.
i think we're going to make some pasta tonight. i'm slowly getting better at doing that by myself. i like to think i can multi-task, but cooking with 3 or 4 burners going gets a little stressful for me still.
we have a windchill warning until tomorrow afternoon, so i'm going to guess it will be another day indoors. of course, there will be plenty of NFL games on tomorrow. i'm going to try to be on here before the Saints play at the Browns.
i hope the weather is better where you are. i hope you are warm and have all your Christmas shopping done. i wish all of you a great weekend.
until tomorrow kids...

it was kind of funny this morning. i opened the garage door to go down and get the paper and there was the UPS driver walking up the driveway. i think we were both surprised to see each other.
it snowed a little this morning. nothing stuck but it was nice to see some flurries at least 8 days before Christmas.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.

i'm sure i will watch some of the NFL games today as well as some college basketball and football. and sometime today i will get my mother's Christmas gifts wrapped. and i need to vacuum the house. and i think i need to do my mother's laundry as well. so yeah, just another boring weekend.

so, the doctor's appointment i had today went well. my weight was down, my A1C was down, my blood pressure was great... i got a flu shot finally and was in and out in about 15 minutes. i don't think it could have gone any better than that.
after the appointment, i went to Rite Aid. i wanted to get some small lights for the Charlie Brown Christmas tree. while i was there, i found a box of sugar free candies that was 70% off. the lights were 60% off, so i was very pleased to get both for under $10.
Vice News Tonight had two great shows this week.

so, when the news of Grant Wahl's death last night hit me, i was shocked. Grant was the best soccer writer in this country by a mile. he did an amazing job explaining the sport and growing the sport in this country. i still am trying to process his death covering the World Cup. part of me doesn't want to believe it is true. and part of me knows, having just celebrated his 48th birthday 8 days ago, it is the circle being completed. Grant was also an amazing writer about college basketball. i have been an avid reader of his for damn near 20 years. i think i cried for hours last night as i was trying to deal with my own grief. he was the writer i thought i wanted to be when i was a kid, thinking of writing for a team or a sport, long before the poetry bug latched on to me. rest in peace Grant. you were an amazing human. condolences to his wife and his family.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.
AEW Rampage was good last night.

i'll be watching NXT Deadline on Peacock for most of the evening.
today at the World Cup, the amazing run for Morocco continued with their 1-0 upset of Portugal. France defeated England, 2-1, in a very tense game. i'm not sure how Harry Kane is going to live with himself after missing the penalty that would have made it 2-2. so, now the semifinals of the World Cup are set. Croatia plays Argentina on Tuesday. France plays Morocco on Wednesday. Morocco is the first African nation to ever make the semifinals.
Manchester United lost 1-0 today in Spain to Real Betis.
the Dayton Flyers won today at home against UNC Asheville, 79-56.
i did go to Rite Aid and Family Dollar earlier today. i had some pills to pick up at Rite Aid. shockingly, they actually had them ready before i even called them in to have them refilled. i had to pick up some Glade spray at Family Dollar. they are the only store around here that still sells it for just $1.
not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm guessing the morning as i know the New Orleans Saints are on their bye week. i did get the first round of Christmas cards sent out today. i'm hoping to get the rest of them done this weekend and out in the mail on Monday.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

so, i was up early this morning and got myself to the dealership about 10 minutes before my appointment. 90 fucking minutes later, the new tire was put on the Highlander. at least that bullshit is over with. after that, i went to Big Lots. mom wanted me to look for some slippers for her and i was looking for some baseball cards. i got 3 packs of 2022 Topps Series 2. didn't find any slippers for her. after that, i had to go to Kroger to pick up a prescription for my mother. thankfully, i got there before they took their lunch break. when i got back to the Highlander, i noticed that Croatia and Brazil was going to penalty kicks. i started to race home, hoping i would get to see a little bit of that. by the time i got in the garage, i saw the news.
Croatia stunned Brazil today at the World Cup, beating them 1-1 (4-2) on penalty kicks. i did get the chance to watch the second game. that was another holy shit affair. Argentina built a 2 goal lead only to watch the Netherlands score 2 late goals to send the game to extra time. the game went to penalty kicks and Argentina won, 2-2 (4-3). Croatia vs. Argentina in the World Cup semifinal should be an entertaining war.
i've got my final load of laundry in the washer. i did go through the baseball cards. i got a few good ones today.
Vice News Tonight had two great episodes this week.
Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.
NJPW was really good last night.

i did listen to episode 425 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
we have had over 8 inches of rain in last 20 hours or so. you can imagine my misery. now, toss in 5 rejected poems as well.
i heard back from Mark at Ariel Chart on my poetry submission from last month. i have no problem with having the poems rejected, but the reason he gave made me laugh. he said he was rejecting the poems because of profanity. considering 3 of the poems had no profanity at all... thankfully, now i know of another place to never waste my time on again.
the New York Yankees won last night in Seattle, 4-0. they got some great pitching last night. hopefully, that will continue tonight.
the USMNT lost to Brazil last night, 2-0. considering the USMNT was without their best player, that's not that bad of a job from the kids against the #3 team in the world.
VICE was really good last night.
NJPW was pretty good last night.
the season finale of Random Acts of Flyness was weird as fuck and great last night. i can't wait for season 2.
Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

Ohio State plays at home this afternoon against Rutgers. hopefully it's another easy victory.
i'm sure i'll probably watch some other college football games today as well.
happy birthday to my sister. she turns... i've learned a long time ago to not mention the age of a woman and i'd like to stay in that will as well.
she should be down here this afternoon. between mom and i, she's going to get plenty for her birthday.
that's all for me kids. i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

so the muse and i got into it last night. i thought i was doing a good thing by helping her out and she started blasting me for not getting with her when she wanted to get with me. now mind you, this was 10 years ago. when i was 32 years old. when i had fucked up my back, pinched my sciatic nerve and had blood clots that nearly killed me. but, since i couldn't fit in a relationship with the muse at that time, i'm an asshole and i'm paying for it. i made the mistake of having a retort and that only made things worse. but, i did write what i thought to be this really amazing poem last night a little after midnight. i gave the muse the choice when i sent it to her this morning. if she doesn't want me to get it published, it won't get published. if she wants me to get it published, then it will. now, i haven't decided if that would be in a zine, here on the blog, or maybe even a YouTube video. i haven't heard back from the muse yet, so i don't know her decision.
what really killed me was the muse bringing up that i talk about other women. this coming from the same woman that checks out dating sites while i'm talking to her on the phone. now, keep in mind, i haven't been on a date in so many fucking years, i have lost count. part of me believes the muse is taking the stress of her job out on me. part of me believes she's frustrated with me that i now am in a place where i want to pursue something with her and she's not in that place any longer. i do think a great deal of her loves me. i think we do have a decent friendship that i'm constantly trying to strengthen. i have no idea if she will ever give me the chance to be with her. one of the lines of the poem was me apologizing for taking so fucking long to realize she's the love of my life. apparently, i wasn't allowed to mature and get better with time. i was supposed to be already perfect when she waltzed into my life.
i'm pretty sure when i die i will have a list of regrets a mile fucking long. i really wish that wasn't the truth. i wish i was this free spirit that never got fucked over, just had all his troubles roll off his back and was happy and content with his world. i have scars so fucking deep, they feel like braille from 300 years ago. it makes me laugh sometimes. like i wanted to be sexually abused as a child. like i wanted a father that didn't love me. like i wanted my best friend to move to Portland, Oregon without me. like i wanted my girlfriend when i was 23 to cheat on me and decide she was a lesbian when i wanted to ask her to move in with me. like i wanted to have to take care of my mother to stay in the will.
i'm trying to strive for the one fucking dream i really want. more than being a successful writer or fame, fortune or endless amounts of people kissing my ass; i just want to be with the woman i am madly in love with. apparently, i will have to go through hell to get there. i've walked that path before and survived. i'm stupid, i'll gladly walk it again.
the grocery store today killed me. every beautiful woman i saw in there reminded me of the muse. one reminded me so much i nearly forgot what the fuck i was shopping for. thankfully, i did get everything on the list and a few extras for my sister's birthday this weekend. the best thing was i got all the shopping done before the fucking rain started.
i did watch a good portion of the Eagles vs. Falcons last night. i always love when Atlanta loses.
Big Brother went as i expected last night. Scottie was voted out again and Kaycee is the new HOH.
Snowfall was excellent last night. things are definitely getting crazy now.
Vice News Tonight had a great week of shows.

the New York Yankees start a series tonight in Seattle. hopefully they will win.
the USMNT takes on Brazil tonight in a soccer friendly. given how young the USMNT is, this should be rather interesting tonight.
i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow. i think my sister will be down here in the afternoon for her birthday. i know she's spending the night, so that should be interesting as the tv in the living room doesn't work anymore.
i know i will be on here before Ohio State plays tomorrow afternoon.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. i hope the weather wherever you are is better than the shitty fucking rain here.

i shot out of bed at 6:30 this morning for some fucking reason. i tossed and turned all night. about a hour later, it was fucking raining. now it all makes sense. i had to be up so i could get the full suffering from the rain. that is why i always say there is a war going on inside of me. and it's fucking obvious, the good guys aren't winning.
i spent a good portion of last night chatting with the muse as her flight was delayed out to the west coast. that probably played a role in my tossing and turning as well.
the New York Yankees were losing last night and Aaron Boone finally just went the fuck off. he got ejected from the game in one of the more entertaining ejections i have seen in years. the Yankees responded with 3 home runs that gave them the lead. of course, they couldn't keep it. thankfully, they did get the lead again and won the game over the Tigers 7-5. hopefully they will win again this afternoon.
the two episodes of NJPW were really good last night.
Random Acts of Flyness was excellent last night.

the grocery store was a fucking zoo this afternoon. and just my luck, my back was hurting and my blood sugar dropped while i was in the store. good times.
i guess the muse is spending her holiday weekend on the west coast and my sister will be on the east coast. it must be nice.
the New York Yankees lost last night to the Tigers, 8-7. they had the lead going into the 9th inning, but Betances spit the bit for the first time in a long time. of course, i'm not sure why he was pitching the 9th and Britton was pitching the 8th. oh well, they have no fucking chance to catch Boston now anyway. the Yankees did make a trade after the game, finally getting an outfielder. it should help. of course, should is a very fine line these days. hopefully the Yankees win tonight.
the New Orleans Saints won last night over the Rams, 28-0.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
Big Brother went exactly as i thought it would last night. Faysal was evicted and Scottie won the Battle Back competition. late last night, Tyler won HOH.

i had a black cat dart in front of me on my way home from picking up my prescription last night. i figured it meant the Yankees were going to lose. or the fucking Taco Bell mom wanted for dinner was going to put me on the toilet all night. instead, it was something completely different.
i heard back from Bindweed Magazine on my poetry submission from May. they rejected all 6 poems i sent. not exactly how i was hoping to start off my Saturday morning. i read the poems again and know they are good. so, i definitely think they will go out with the first submissions of September.
the New York Yankees won 7-5 last night in 10 innings at Baltimore. hopefully they will win both games of the doubleheader today.
