right as i was getting ready to go to bed last night, i could hear my mother crying. i went into her room and asked what was wrong? she said she was crying because she was thinking about when she dies how i will be alone here. i chuckled and asked why are you worrying about that? she believes she has failed if i am somehow alone. that baffled me. of course, i am not a parent, nor have i ever wanted to be one. but, i do try to understand where my mother is coming from with these things. so, we had a 30 minute discussion about a wide range of topics. she went to sleep and i of course was now in my head and slept like shit. the only thing i can surmise is the holidays are quickly approaching and there is always time for dysfunction.
the New York Rangers lost last night in Calgary, 3-2. hard to win when you get outshot 49-29.
i did watch a good amount of the Steelers at Browns game last night. i always love a good snow game.
NJPW was good last night.

it was a rainy, cloudy day here. Orkin came earlier than expected to do the normal household spray shit. i still don't think they have any fucking clue how to deal with the squirrels.
i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before Indiana plays at Ohio State at noon.
that's all for me kids.
i need to stretch my back out before i make dinner.
until tomorrow...

i remember growing up and i think it was Don Henley that said when Kennedy got assassinated, that was the day the innocence of America died. and i suppose in the grand scheme of things, he probably is right. hard to think that was 60 years ago. and hard to believe the government hasn't released all the shit they still have confidential. and they wonder why people have conspiracy theories.
i didn't get to bed until 5:30 AM this morning. i swear, there aren't enough hours in the day for me to get done everything i need to do on certain days. by the time i got the poems typed up last night and got the dishes done, i barely had enough energy left to masturbate myself to sleep. thankfully, my shower this afternoon woke me the fuck up.
and i give Kroger credit. they had every checkout lane open and every lane had a bagger. even though it was crowded as fuck, it didn't take nearly as long as i was expecting.
NXT was very good last night.
Inside the NFL was good last night.
Name That Tune was a rerun last night.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
it is like a low hum in my left ear today. i'm not sure if it is something COVID related or maybe my mental tricks actually still work from time to time. i have always been a big believer in accepting the pain as a means to control it. after my 3 hours of shitty sleep last night, i figured that would be the best thing i could do with my ear. so far it has worked pretty good for me today.
so, if all goes to plan tomorrow, mom will be back home. the group call today went pretty good. i could tell from listening to mom on it, she is more than ready to be back home. i do feel like i am symptom free, so i will hopefully be testing negative soon.
the World Cup was a bit crazy today. i woke up and saw Argentina was up 1-0 on Saudi Arabia and went back to sleep. so, when i woke up later and saw that Saudi Arabia beat Argentina, 2-1, i had to make sure i had my damn glasses on so i knew i wasn't misreading something. holy shit. in the other games today, Denmark and Tunisia finished 0-0, likewise for Mexico vs. Poland; France defeated Australia today 4-1.
CR7 is now gone from Manchester United. i can't say i am surprised. it was obvious what he was trying to do with the Piers Morgan interview. hopefully he finds what he is looking for but i highly doubt anyone other than those teams in China or Saudi Arabia is going to pay what he wants to play anymore.
now, if this Manchester United news actually happens, i will be more than happy...
the New York Knicks won last night in Oklahoma City, 129-119.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:
The Voice was really good last night. i have no clue who is getting voted off tonight.
Monday Night Raw was very good last night.
the series finale of The Vow last night was excellent. hard to believe there are still people brainwashed by that fucker.
Avenue 5 was hilarious last night. the season finale is next week.

the New York Rangers play tonight out in Los Angeles against the Kings.
i should be on here tomorrow before the Dayton Flyers play Wisconsin down in the Bahamas.
tomorrow in the World Cup, Morocco plays Croatia, Germany takes on Japan, Spain plays Costa Rica and Belgium plays Canada.
i need to pick up the trash and figure out my dinner tonight.
maybe this is becoming my new normal for Mondays. going to bed sometime around the sun coming up and being up less than 3 hours later to put the coffee on. and then another power nap in the late morning and boom, tackle the rest of the day. i did go grocery shopping today. i found everything, between two different stores, that i needed to get for Thanksgiving. my sister will be down here tomorrow night. we should have plenty if she brings everything she said she was going to.
so, yesterday was a bit crazy. first off, let me start with the bad news. the New Orleans Saints lost to the Eagles yesterday, 40-29. honestly, it never even felt that close. the Saints play at home on Thanksgiving night against Buffalo. oh joy.
now, some better news. the New York Rangers defeated the Buffalo Sabres last night, 5-4. the wining goal was scored with less than 1 second left in the game. good times.
WWE Survivor Series was pretty good last night.
the season finale of BMF was good last night.
Power Book II: Ghost was very good last night.
Axios was good last night.
Succession was very good last night.
Insecure was great last night.
Curb Your Enthusiasm was fucking hilarious last night.

i did listen to episode 370 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:
i should be on here in the afternoon tomorrow, after Manchester United plays in the Champions League. i have no damn clue how they are going to play under Michael Carrick. hell, i can't imagine them being any better, sadly.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
if you are traveling this week, please be safe.

i'm hoping that most of the heavy rain is over for today. i don't want to be aching all day long...
so, Ohio State got outplayed and outcoached yesterday, but still won over Indiana 42-35.
it's probably a good thing i wasn't able to watch Manchester United yesterday. judging from all the highlights, their 1-0 victory over West Brom was boring as fuck.
i did watch some of MLS playoffs yesterday, UFC and college football.
Between The World And Me was amazing last night. that should be required viewing for every human on earth.
Austin City Limits had The Mavericks on last night, it was very good.
ROH was very good last night.

the New Orleans Saints play Atlanta today. i'm hoping the Saints will find a way to win with Drew Brees out.
thanks again to everyone that checked out my latest published poem:
so, last night, the hospital where i am supposed to have my procedure on Tuesday called two different times to try to get me to do the pre-registration. i eventually called them back. they of course had none of my information and had no fucking clue what i was going in for. you can just imagine the amount of confidence this fills me with. so, they called back this morning to schedule a time for the nurse to call me. mind you, the woman that completed my registration told me the nurse would call me the evening before the procedure. so, apparently the nurse is calling me at 9 in the morning tomorrow. this is a total fucking shit show so far.
shopping today was a nightmare to say the least. i had to go to 3 different stores but i got everything on the scroll. a little over $200, but it was close enough that i'm not going to beat myself up over it.
my arthritis and my bad back have been fucking killing me today. joy.
the season finale of Desus & Mero was excellent last night. the show will be back in February 2020.
the season finale of Mr Inbetween was fucking crazy last night.
Young Sheldon was good last night.
The Unicorn was very good last night.
Perfect Harmony was hilarious last night.
Will & Grace was great last night.

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.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight. it will be football and a little college basketball all day and night.
the New Orleans Saints play at home tonight against Atlanta. i'd love to see the Saints absolutely destroy the Falcons tonight and get their 10th win in a row.
i knew i had to go back to the grocery store to get a few things before Thanksgiving. plus, i had my pills to get. no big deal. i told mom i wanted to go today since it's supposed to rain tomorrow. i told her to put anything she wanted or needed on the list. she handed me back a scroll. i just laughed. my neck started bothering me last night and of course, i'll have to spend more than 30 minutes in the store. these are the days where i am so damn thankful i learned how to find the pleasure in the pain so many years ago.
i managed to keep it all under $130. i guess i was also buying food for my sister to cook while she's down here. she comes down tomorrow and is staying through mom's procedure on Monday. i get the feeling i should have went to the liquor store as well.
when the New York Rangers got down 2-0 last night, i wasn't very happy. when they stormed back to score the next 5 goals, i was really fucking pleased. nothing like whipping the team that knocked you out of the playoffs last season. they will get a chance to do it again tomorrow at home.
Monday Night Raw was pretty damn good last night. the segment between Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens was so damn good. i honestly thought they were breaking up so when it was revealed as a ruse, i laughed my ass off. and when Jericho got involved in the main event between Owens and Rollins wearing a Sin Cara mask, i laughed even harder. that was the guy he reportedly got into a "real" fight with in Europe a few weeks ago. i'm hoping they can take all the positive vibes from this show and carry it to next week.
Gotham was spectacular last night. i love a show where there are so many unexpected twists that keeps me guessing what's next.
The Voice was pretty good last night. some of the performances were amazing, while others just didn't do any thing for me. i have no clue who is getting the boot tonight. here are some of the performances i really enjoyed:
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Smackdown and Scream Queens.
i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade this morning. i'll put the links below in the music section.
i saw that Bruce Arena is the coach of the USMNT now. hopefully he can guide them into the World Cup. they have never been in this position before, losing the first two matches of qualifying.
i didn't sleep well last night. i could never get my neck into a good position that i didn't feel that pinched nerve feeling down my right arm. i figure i either passed out from exhaustion or my brain simply overrode the pain and allowed me to get a few hours.
typing is no joy when it feels like your right arm is radiating.
that's all for me today kids. go get the unreleased Prince single "Moonbeam Levels" on iTunes. it's great.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
we didn't get any snow last night, but it was in the mid 20's when i woke up this morning. i figured i better put on some pants to go out and get the paper this morning. usually i just go out in shorts. i also filled the bird feeders as i figured those clueless creatures will probably be hungry in the cold.
the New York Rangers played a crazy game last night. every time the Rangers got a lead, the Panthers would come right back and score. when the Rangers got a 2 goal lead in the 3rd period, i thought finally, they would put the game away. i was completely wrong as the Panthers scored 2 goals late to send the game into OT. thankfully, Rick Nash finally came alive and got his hat trick in OT for a 5-4 Rangers win. i saved that victory beer for today.
Saturday Night Live was really good last night. Adele was pretty amazing as well.
ROH was great as well. the match between Jay Lethal and Roderick Strong showed exactly why ROH is one of the better wrestling companies on earth.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Homeland, The Affair and Last Week Tonight. i will be watching Survivor Series on WWE Network.
after the Thursday NFL game, i'm an even bigger underdog in my 3 fantasy matches today than before. so with the New Orleans Saints on a bye this week, i may just end up watching soccer today.
hopefully, i also catch up on some sleep today.
that's all for me kids. i believe breakfast is getting ready to end up in the toilet. good times.
i hope you have a great Sunday.

and your whatever the fuck i want you to see video of the day:
i woke up this morning and as soon as i rolled over in bed, i knew it was raining outside. my back felt like two elephants decided to fuck on it all night long. but not typical elephant style, but more like some twisted kama sutra type shit. thankfully? the temps are supposed to rise today so the rain won't be freezing for very long. of course, this also means the snow and ice will melt. so, the farm will be a joyous pit of mud before too long.
i did watch Sonic Highways last night on HBO. another great episode. i think the reason i have never been to New Orleans is the simple fact that i KNOW i would never leave. it's almost earned some like mythical stature in my head actually. perhaps i'll go there sometime before my poor ass dies. as for the Foo Fighters song at the end, i wish it would've had some horns or some tribute to jazz in it.
today is going to be a busy ass day for me. besides all the sports, i have a ton of dishes to do (i'm lazy), two toilets to clean (still lazy), 4 poems to type up (the words finally came out last night), and finally start the process of deciding what the fuck i'm going to take with me when we move. i have a feeling i might try to sell some shit. or, i'm going to be investing in some of those good plastic storage tubs as we'll have a ton of storage out in the attached garage at the new house. i haven't lived anywhere with an attached garage since i was 21. to think that i won't have to walk over ice and snow and mud and shit and dead animals to start a vehicle is pretty much foreign to me now.
Ohio State plays at home this afternoon against Indiana. they are 34 point favorites. hopefully, the game is never close, because at the same time...
Manchester United is playing at Arsenal. United has so many injuries right now that i have no clue who is even going to play for them. hopefully, i'll be enjoying two victory beers later in the afternoon.
also tonight, i'm hoping to watch Saturday Night Live and ROH. sometime before that, i have to squeeze in a shower. this is one of those days where i'm going to test just how much i can get done in 24 hours while dealing with a bad back.maybe i should go lay naked in a snow pile before it melts.
enjoy that visual.
that's all for me now. i have to get the trash out and get something done before the games come on at noon. plus, i guess the cats would like to eat.
hopefully the fucking newspaper is in plastic this morning.
i do hope everyone has a great weekend. may all your sports teams do well, or may you get to see your favorite play or movie or concert, or maybe she/he will fuck you for free this time.
thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious 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.

i worked my ass off yesterday. i warned all of you, i hadn't touched my closet in years. hence, today my mother and i took 5 trash bags full of clothes to this local charity. hopefully someone in the community gets some use out of that stuff. as for me, i believe my back is still hurting from it. so be it.
mom and i had another full day today. had some lunch at a little Lebanese place. i had a coupon for it that of course they weren't honoring any longer. that's my luck. the food was really good. we went to a coin shop trying to sell some old coins that my grandfather for some reason turned into a necklace and key chain. needless to say, i may have to start an eBay account for mom. after that, a trip to the grocery store that wasn't nearly as bad as either one of us thought it was going to be.
now i would love to take a nap. of course, that's not going to happen.
the Yankees got some GREAT pitching yesterday and beat Detroit 1-0. i'm still shocked they won 3 out of 4 from that team. they are getting ready to play Cleveland as i am typing this. hopefully i'll be enjoying another victory beer tonight.
Big Brother last night was awesome. the looks on the faces of the clueless when Zach stayed was great. Jacosta and Hayden were sent to the jury house. hopefully they do another double eviction later in the season.
i've been emailing back and forth with this amazingly beautiful woman i have met on Google+. of course, i have my suspicions as this is my life after all. my luck, i'm being catfished. but, as a writer, you have to welcome the threat of chaos every now and then. of course, i would be beyond fucking happy if this woman is legit and is actually interested in me. talk about the worm turning my friends.
Married and You're the Worst were pretty good last night. FX is just about the best network out there anymore. right up there with Showtime and HBO.
besides the Yankees game tonight, i will probably be watching a little football and maybe some soccer late tonight on the west coast. i also want to write some poems as well tonight. scroll back to the emails and you'll know what i'm planning on writing about.
i'll be back on here tomorrow morning as the Yankees will be playing in the afternoon. they are honoring Paul O'Neill tomorrow. that will be a roller coaster of emotions for me.
be sure all of you check out part 1 and 2 of the latest episode of The Jim Norton Show. the interview with Whitney Cummings was really good. you can find it on vice.com
i do hope everyone has a great weekend.
be well. be creative. be quick to send me cash, panties, or hate mail. be sure to only fuck the ones that cough. and be an entertaining drunk.

"I haven't spoken to my wife in years. I didn't want to interrupt her." - Rodney Dangerfield
i am a man (stop laughing) that loves history. but i don't particularly enjoy going back and revisiting or revising or even rewriting history. and considering that today is the 50th year anniversary of JFK being assassinated, it was a little hard to escape. don't get me wrong, history in the moment i will eat with a damn spoon. take 9/11 for instance, i didn't sleep for a week. i had the tv on every second of every day just devouring the news. but, 10 years later, i didn't think about it longer than a few minutes. i know about the past, i'm not too fond of living in it. sadly, i'm not sure i can say the same for many people; today being one of the greatest examples of drowning in nostalgia.
now, all that being said, i did observe the moment of silence today. and then i went back to stuffing my face with food.
was a little bummed when i read today that John Prine has been diagnosed with lung cancer. they believe they caught it early, but how many damn times can one man beat that disease? here's one of my favorites from him:
on to better news... i really enjoyed The Big Bang Theory last night. the writing on that show consistently amazes me.
the New York Rangers got an incredible performance from The King last night. Rick Nash scored his first goal of the season. all in a 3-2 much needed win. highlights below:
i picked the NFL game correctly last night, but i was torn. the QB for New Orleans is my fantasy QB for my NFL.com team. but, he's my opponent's QB in my CBS Sports.com league. quite the dilemma. i have a 23 point lead in one and a 30 point deficit to make up in the other. it will be a stressful weekend to say the least.
and the weather is going to turn here with lows in the teens. lovely.
i think i'm going to try to watch an interview with Gary Clark Jr. this evening on DIRECTV. other than that, i will probably be checking the internet to see how the high school i graduated from is doing in the high school football playoffs. one win away from another trip to the final 4.
that's all for me. i will probably be back on here sometime before Ohio State plays tomorrow. hope everyone has a great weekend.

sat down at 1 to watch the Yankees. before i could get comfortable, the Braves are up 3-0. glad to see Phil Hughes revert back to the old version. then decided to go shave and shower. get all that done and the score is 6-1. instead of watching, i went and sent out some poems. get done with that and it's 6-4.
the Grandy man makes it 6-5. and then A-Rod steps up, runners on 1st and 3rd, a fucking fly ball ties the game and the asshole of course, hits into a double play.
and then came a slow death. defensive miscues, shitty pitching, an appearance by the human white flag Freddy Garcia and the Yankees lose 10-5.
YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
will pay a bit of attention to the NHL awards tonight. i'm hoping Hank can finally win the Vezina. will definitely make this Ranger fan very happy. also, will be nice to get the hockey juices going again with the draft and all the trade rumors heating up.
hotter than dog shit here today. no sight of rain. hopefully some tomorrow. any rain would help at this point. any.
