it could always be worse

i could feel the freezing rain in my bones last night. it more or less just traps us in the house. and i know my arthritis is only going to get worse. good times.

i'm not sure why the Dayton Flyers start off like shit in the big games this season. last night might have been one of the most dreadful first halves i have ever seen them play. sadly, it was probably the best Northwestern had EVER played, hence the halftime score of 40-17. i told my mother watch, Dayton will get really close in the second half and it will be once again, they dug too big off a fucking hole to get out of. sure enough, Dayton was on fire in the second half and got as close as 3 points. fuck me runnin'. Northwestern won 67-64.

the New York Rangers won last night in Nashville 2-1 in a shootout. i absolutely love that Jimmy Vesey scored in the shootout. he was being booed the entire game for not signing with Nashville when he was drafted by them. i love a kid with some stones. The King was spectacular once again last night in the victory. the Rangers play tonight at home against New Jersey.

Manchester United got a brace from the ageless Zlatan Ibrahimovic yesterday to defeat West Brom 2-0. it was probably one of the better victories United have had this season. amazingly, they are just 4 points from second place as of this morning. and they have some very winnable games coming up. it's time to make a run.

Saturday Night Live was funny some of the time last night. honestly, 2 or 3 sketches had me laughing my ass off and the rest of the show had me changing the channel.

ROH was excellent last night. i could watch The Young Bucks and Adam Cole wrestle for the rest of my life and never get bored.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of Shameless, The Affair and Motorhead - Clean Your Clock.

i'll be watching WWE Roadblock: End of the Line for most of the evening tonight. at least on paper, it looks like it should be a great event.

the New Orleans Saints play out in Arizona today. it's another fruitless season for the Saints. oh well.

i did write a poem this morning after i took a shit. i haven't typed it up yet, but it's a special one.

i wrapped all the Christmas gifts i bought last night. i still have one thing i have to make for my sister, but i'll have all that done before the Saints play today.

i suppose i should go out and get the damn Sunday newspaper. hopefully that's not what is in our wet ass driveway.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday will be even better.

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 wanted you to see video of the day:

a week to something or other

first off, a link i would like to share. http://www.tenaciouspoodle.com/2012/12/westboro-baptist-church-bringing-us.html i had a good laugh after reading that.

i'm really looking forward to seeing who wins The Voice tonight. i believe it's fairly obvious that Cassadee will win. she's grown on me over the weeks. i suppose i'm actually more psyched to see the performances. should be a nice send off for the season.

big game tomorrow for the Dayton Flyers. a little better competition than the previous teams on this winning streak. if they win the next 2 games at home i'll really start to believe that this team could do something this year. my fingers are crossed but i'm not holding my breath.

i had a nice huge win in fantasy football. always good to get revenge in the playoffs. i'm in the finals in one league with CBS Sports and in the semi-finals with my number 1 seed on NFL.com. i would love to pull off the double this year, but i know it won't be easy at all.

with a week to go to Christmas, i hope everyone is well, nearing the end or start of their shopping, and most of all, happy and peaceful.

not sure how many posts i will be doing here in the near future. of course, i could get hit with the writing bug and send out 20 poems in a blur, or maybe my end of the year trip to the doctor gets eventful. who knows.

a special thank you to Alan Catlin for the poetry in the mail.

music today:
