up early on a Monday...

 we had storms roll through here last night. the wind was really bad. i brought the recyclables in so i wouldn't spend the morning picking them up everywhere. i took them back out at 7 this morning. i found it a little interesting that no one else had and still hasn't put anything back out. part of me wonders if the fuckers picked up the shit during the storm last night or people just decided fuck it, wait until Thursday. 

the New Orleans Saints lost at home yesterday to the Raiders, 25-10. i'm really hoping the Saints just blow everything up after this season and start over. 

team USA lost to Finland in OT yesterday, 4-3, at the World Juniors.

The Agency was very good last night.

Dexter Original Sin was really good last night.

a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:

Manchester United plays today at home against Newcastle. 

i might watch some of the NFL game tonight, Lions at 49ers.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Florida. i doubt watch much of that. the players have quit on the coach and it is fucking obvious.

i will probably be on here early tomorrow. i have some end of the year news to share... i think.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

and now the rain...

 i swear, the rain has been just enough today to make my back feel like an elephant has strapped himself to me and just won't let go. these are the days where i think there isn't enough heroin in the world to take this pain away. joy.

i did have a lovely conversation last night with the Spanish princess. i can imagine if i lived closer to her, what adventures my life would be filled with now. i think both of us dream about what could be, though we both know the odds are so fucking stacked against us, how many times do we really want to roll that ball up the mountain?

the New York Rangers lost last night in Tampa in a shootout, 2-1. that was beyond fucking frustrating to watch, but at least they got a point out of the game.

team USA won at the World Juniors yesterday, defeating Switzerland, 5-1. that sets up a winner take the group game tomorrow against Finland.

the New York Knicks lost last night in San Antonio, 122-115.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

i did watch some college football last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and AEW Rampage. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

i have my favorite songs of the year lined up for tomorrow's blog. it is a pretty eclectic mix i believe.

tomorrow is going to be one of the crazy days for me that has sports on from the moment i wake up until i probably go to sleep. i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the morning.

hard to believe yet another year is coming to an end. hard to believe i'm not dead, hard to believe my mother has cheated death again, hard to believe the words still find me from time to time, hard to believe that i still have to burn fucking bridges in 2022. luckily for me, there won't be many left after this year, so... while i know it won't be smooth sailing ahead, i feel like i am in a much better position to actually do something about it. and in two days i can finally legally gamble on sports in this small minded redneck bible thumping state... time to see if i still have the smarts to turn $20 into $400 like i did so many years ago.

more on that in 2023. i am ready for 2022 to be over. hopefully, it goes out with a bang.

until tomorrow kids...

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.

 i swear, i can't get more than 4 1/2 hours of sleep at one time, unless i am chemically induced. and i doubt i will get my nap in today, given i have to do the rest of the shopping. joy.

AEW Dynamite was really good last night.

Hard Knocks was excellent last night.

here are your highlights from the NBA last night:

the New York Rangers pissed away a 3rd period lead and lost at Florida last night, 4-3.

the baseball cards i got yesterday were ok, at best. a few hall of famers (Tony Gwynn and Andre Dawson) but not much else.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight. i will probably watch NXT UK sometime tonight on Peacock.

Manchester United plays at home this afternoon against Burnley. hopefully, United will find a way to win today.

i will hopefully have all the grocery shopping done before the United game begins.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. hard to believe that tomorrow is the last day of 2021.

that's all for me kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

last Monday of the decade...

we had a massive cold front move through last night. i was miserable most of yesterday. it rained all damn day. today, it's nothing but wind and the cold weather coming back. joy.

USA defeated Russia yesterday at the World Juniors, 3-1. that's 5 straight victories over Russia. the USA plays the Czech Republic this afternoon in the final game of group play.

the New Orleans Saints defeated Carolina yesterday, 42-10. but, Green Bay and San Francisco both won, so the Saints are the #3 seed in the NFC playoffs. they play at home on Sunday against the Vikings.

the season finale of Dublin Murders last night was fucking excellent.

Shameless was hilarious last night.

Ray Donovan was very good last night.

i finally got to watch Us last night. i didn't find it really scary but it was a psychologically brilliant movie. Jordan Peele is a fucking genius.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at home against North Florida. this will wrap up the Flyers non-conference schedule.

i did listen to the latest episode of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:

i think i have seen it all now

when i saw Obi Toppin leaking out for a fast break yesterday in the Dayton Flyers game, i was expecting something special. i wasn't expecting him to pull off a dunk after taking the ball between his legs. easily, the craziest dunk i have seen in person in my life. Dayton won the game against Georgia Southern yesterday 94-90. thank god their non-conference schedule is now over. now they start the run of 18 A10 games. i think they are good enough to finish in the top 4 of the league, although i wouldn't be shocked if they don't, considering the coaching.

i got back home in time to watch Clemson finish off destroying Notre Dame. and then i watched Alabama manhandle Oklahoma for a quarter and then just play with them the rest of the game. i could have told you before the college football season started that Clemson and Alabama would be playing for the title. and that's exactly what will happen on January 7th.

the New York Rangers got a couple players back from injury last night and it made a world of difference. the Rangers got two third period goals and came from behind to win in Nashville, 4-3.

team USA lost to Sweden last night in OT, 5-4. considering Sweden was up 4-0 entering the 3rd period, the fact that the USA got anything out of that game is amazing.

ROH was pretty good last night. it was a recap of the women's wrestling in 2018 in ROH.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Ray Donovan and the finale of Escape at Dannemora.

Manchester United plays at home this morning against Bournemouth. i'm really hoping United can keep the string of good results going.

the New Orleans Saints play their regular season finale today at home against Carolina. i'm not expecting many of the starters to play, but i would love to see the Saints get their 14th victory of the season. they have never done that as a franchise in their history.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

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

should i go out and shovel?

i believe we got a good 3 to 4 inches of snow last night. i don't really feel like going out and shoveling this morning or afternoon for that matter. so, i'm really hoping one of the neighbors and his kids feel like doing a good deed today.

when the USA got down 2-0 to Canada yesterday at the World Juniors, i was not happy. when they were down 3-1 after two periods, i was not happy. but midway through the third period, the USA finally started to play their way. they got the score even at 3 by the end of regulation. nothing happened in OT, so it was off to the shootout. when the first two guys scored for the USA, i felt like i could finally breathe. no one from Canada scored in the shootout so the USA won the game 4-3. it's a pretty big win, but they will need to defeat Finland tomorrow to get the easier draw in the quarterfinals.

Ohio State smothered USC on defense last night, causing 4 turnovers and 8 sacks. that's a good way to win. USC had nearly 200 more yards than Ohio State but could only score 7 points. that's as many points as Ohio State's defense scored. Ohio State won the Cotton Bowl 24-7. it was the final game of J.T. Barrett's Ohio State career. i believe he has every damn record for a QB in Big Ten history now.

NJPW last night was the 60 minute draw between Okada and Omega. i believe i now have all 3 matches of their epic trilogy on the DVR.

the New York Rangers lost in a shootout last night at Detroit, 3-2. at least they got a damn point out of the game. every single fucking point matters now in the season. their next game will be outdoors on New Year's Day against Buffalo.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

Manchester United plays in a little bit at home against Southampton. i'm really hoping the boys can get back to winning.

the Dayton Flyers start their A-10 season on the road today at Duquesne. i have no idea what to expect. Dayton should win today, but i wouldn't be surprised if they lost either.

i'm sure i'll probably watch some other football and basketball games today as well.

i ended up typing up 5 poems yesterday. that puts the number at 40 for this month. that's a nice round number to end on. i'll probably send out some poems the first week of January.

that's all for me kids. i hope everyone enjoys their Saturday. hopefully you're not buried in snow.

revenge in the great white north

if there is one thing i truly hate in sports is when the USA loses to Russia. in basically anything. and i have been frustrated beyond belief at the World Juniors the last 7 years. thankfully, yesterday was the day the USA decided to give Russia a taste of their own medicine. the USA won 3-2 over Russia yesterday to set up a HUGE game against Canada on New Year's Eve. the winner of that game wins the group and the loser gets no worse than 2nd place. that was one of the better victory beers in a long time.

the New York Rangers exploded last night with 4 power play goals (3 of which came from Matt Puempel) and defeated Arizona 6-3. you would have never known the game was tied at 3 with 5 minutes left. that was the first time a Rangers player had 3 power play goals in a game since 1994. maybe that's an omen. the Rangers next play on New Year's Eve in Colorado.

The Pizza Show last night on Viceland was pretty good. i do love me some good Chicago pizza.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be absolutely nothing.

my sister and i are going to the Dayton Flyers basketball game this evening. it starts early since it is on national television (CBS Sports Network). it's the start of the A10 schedule against a very tough La Salle team. hopefully Dayton can get a win.

tomorrow will be a little crazy, and not just because it is New Year's Eve. Manchester United plays in the morning. the USA vs. Canada game in the WJC is in the afternoon. and then Ohio State plays Clemson that evening. i'm not exactly sure when the fuck i'll be on here, but i'm hoping for after the Manchester United game. i will have plenty to get off my chest as it will be the last blog of this god fucking awful year of 2016.

i hope this finds everyone well, fully stocked on booze and ready to fucking blow off some steam.

one of these weirdos that wears shorts in the winter

i'm sure my neighbors love that i go out to get the trash cans or the paper or the mail in a hoodie and shorts. doesn't matter what the weather is like. unless it's snowing or really fucking cold, i'm one of these weirdos that wears shorts in the winter. it's finally starting to feel like winter here. of course, we've had so much damn rain, it figures it would start to freeze now.

team USA destroyed Switzerland today in the World Juniors hockey tournament over in Finland. the boys dominated from the start, winning 10-1. the only Rangers prospect on the team was in goal for the last 30+ minutes of the game. he stopped all 10 shots he faced. they will play Denmark tomorrow morning. if they can win that in regulation, they will finish in second place in the group.

i didn't watch much on television last night. i was over at my uncle's shooting the shit for almost 90 minutes i think. it's rather obvious that his wife wants nothing to do with helping him with his cancer. it's kind of sad to know they have been married for over 60 years and this is how it gets at the end. i wonder why i'm still single?

tonight is a big sports night, but before that, enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

the Dayton Flyers take on Arkansas tonight at home. this is the last non-conference game of the season. coach Archie Miller will be going for his 100th win at the school. and the game is on national television (CBS Sports Network). needless to say, i will be pumped for this one as i will be in attendance.

the New York Rangers take on Tampa tonight. i really hope they play better than they did in Nashville. they are going to have to if they want to win.

i will probably catch the highlights from the hockey game when i get home from the basketball game. i suppose mom and i will go out to eat after the game as well. most likely another trip to Waffle House.

i will be on here tomorrow after the USA game with Denmark and before the HUGE college football games start. it will seem a little weird to be watching football that really means something on New Year's Eve.

that's all for me today kids. i hope everyone is well and looking forward to getting out of 2015.
