when you can feel the rain in your bones....

we had a line of storms move through right before i had to take mom to her doctor's appointment. there's supposed to be more coming through tonight. with how i feel at this moment, i would say that is pretty accurate.

mom's appointment went well today. the doctor she saw more or less told her, given the MRI on her back, there's no way she can work. her former employer and the insurance company basically are saying she can. so mom is fucking stressed since she feels like someone is accusing her of cheating the system. fun times.

we went out to lunch after that appointment. i took a new notebook with me today. i ended up writing 9 poems in the waiting room. that's 30 poems for May so far. i typed those up when we got home. i really like a few of them.

the New York Yankees last night got a marvelous pitching performance from Severino and 4 RBI from Stanton to defeat Houston 4-0. they were playing the finale today in the afternoon. i got home in time to watch the Yankees piss away a 3-0 lead. Houston was up 5-3 in the 9th, but the Yankees staged another comeback and won the game 6-5. this was an incredible road trip for the Yankees. they went 6-1 on the trip. they play again tomorrow night at home against Cleveland.

NXT was pretty good last night.

Being Serena was very interesting last night.

here are your highlights from the NHL and NBA playoffs last night:

i couldn't fall asleep for shit last night. i tried music. i tried masturbation. i tried the old YouTube rabbit hole trick. i tried reading. nothing worked. at 4 in the morning, exhaustion decided to call the fight. i was back awake before 8 AM. i think i managed to really sleep from 8 to 9:15. this is a recipe to die in your 50's, i'm convinced of that. 6 more days before i go back to drinking. and that's regardless of what my fucking doctor says.

here is your poetry for this day of National Poetry Month:

The Voice was pretty good last night. there was a couple surprises for the final 12, but nothing that actually shocked me.

i got the photo i ordered in one of the Kickstarter projects i supported today. now i just need to get a frame for the picture of Nosferatu. it's pretty fucking creepy.

i did do a little thinking on my poetry last night. i've got a couple publishers in mind to maybe do either a chapbook or another full length book. now it's just about getting my ass in gear and get everything in order to send. i'm stalling, hoping the weather will get better. that usually helps my arthritis.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store. i believe mom has a scroll ready for that. joy.

i certainly wasn't expecting Manchester United to come out and destroy West Brom today and win like 5-0 or something. i was expecting United to find a way to fucking win though. silly me. to watch United lose 1-0 to the team at the bottom of the league, a team that had won 1 of their last 31 fucking games, and in the process give Manchester City the Premier League title was... i don't know if i have the fucking words for how fucking angry i am right now. it's raining cats and dogs here, my arthritis is raging and all i want to do is drive fists through walls or come up with enough money to give United a fucking heart that exists each fucking week. i'm not even going to bother with any of the post game shit. it's all excuses anymore. not exactly how i wanted to start off this fucking day.

here is your poetry for this day of National Poetry Month:

the New York Yankees have already had game 1 of their doubleheader today at Detroit postponed by the rain. game 2 is supposed to be tonight. i doubt that happens either.

starting March off in the rain...

it started raining last night and has continued on and off all damn day long. last time i checked, we were at 1.8 inches so far. i might have got 4 hours of sleep last night. and that's a very iffy might.

mom had to cancel her physical therapy this afternoon as her blood sugar spiked way higher than normal. that was a fun little scare for the day. maybe this will teach her that she needs to have some semblance of a balanced meal for breakfast each morning. the days of coffee and a roll and that's it are over. of course, i'm not sure how many times i can tell an adult what to do when she knows this shit already.

the Dayton Flyers lost last night at LaSalle 71-53. this season can't get over fast enough.

when the New York Rangers got up 3-0 last night in the first period, i was pleasantly surprised. of course, the game was tied at 3 by the middle of the second period. then it became a game of back and forth with Vancouver. eventually, the Rangers ended their losing streak and won in OT 6-5. The King had 50 saves last night. the new additions they got from Tampa and Boston looked pretty good last night. once the defense gets some experience, this team might just be able to turn things around in less than one season. at least that's what i am hoping for.

NXT was pretty good last night.

The X-Files showed exactly why i don't trust any artificial intelligence.

my right eye is trying to quit the team

well, had an interesting visit to the eye doctor today. my left eye is exactly the same as my last visit. my right eye is seeking chaos. apparently the vision has gotten a little worse, but nothing alarming. but my cornea is incredibly dry. dry enough that i could tell from the look on the doctor's face, there is no reason for it to be that dry. especially since it's not happening in the left eye. he sent me home with some eye drops and coupons for more eye drops when those run out. he said it should all be better by Spring. great, who the fuck knows when Spring will start around here.

the New York Rangers lost last night to Chicago, 5-2. they are such a fucking frustrating team to watch when they show up and just mail in a game. and Chicago gave them plenty of chances to win the game. the Rangers basically decided they weren't interested. the Rangers play next on Saturday out in Arizona.

the Dayton Flyers shocked the shit out of me last night and defeated St. Bonaventure 72-62. where the fuck has this team been all season? they play at home on Saturday against UMass. Dayton still hasn't won 2 games in a row yet this season. hopefully that will end on Saturday. i have no clue if i'm going yet or not. kind of depends on the weather, how mom is feeling and whether i can find a few hours to do my fucking laundry.

The X-Files completely pissed me off last night. when they revealed that Mulder wasn't the father and that the Smoking Man more or less raped Sully and is the father of the child, i was fucking pissed. i guess the whole fucking show in the 90's was just bullshit then. i didn't see that coming this season, that's for sure.

Total Divas was pretty good last night.

NXT was a recap of 2017 last night. i really enjoyed all the unseen footage from the house shows.

i didn't sleep well at all last night. i think the best sleep i got was when i should have been getting ready to take mom to her appointment. she had to wake me up and i busted my ass to get us there on time. more or less, we were. she got the injections and we were out of there before 9:30 i believe. i'm really hoping this round of injections work better now that the hip has been replaced.

NXT was pretty good last night. i am certainly looking forward to the next Takeover. i remember War Games when i was young. that should be a spectacle.

Total Divas was pretty good last night as well. it should be interesting to see how this season goes.

i didn't watch any of Game 7 of the World Series last night. i'm just glad it is over. now, the Yankees can get to hiring a new manager.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Tampa. the Rangers haven't won on the road yet this season. i highly doubt that changes tonight.

i think at some point tomorrow, probably after getting the grocery shopping done, i'll get together some poems for the next round of submissions. this should be a pretty big one. and i'd love to get that done before my interview comes up on the 13th.

imagination and nerves, all wrapped up in a ball of hate

my mind has been on a bit of a fucking rollercoaster since last night. sometimes, that's a good thing.

first off, the New York Yankees lost last night 7-1. it was one of those games where they just could never get anything going. it sadly reminded me of 2001 all over again, which i fucking hope isn't the case. Game 7 will be tonight. CC will be on the mound for the Yankees. i have faith they will find a fucking way to win tonight. if not, i'll drink myself to sleep and hopefully not wake up for a week or so.

after the game i got an email from a "fan" telling me my poetry is very sexy. i started to laugh, wondering which asshole from Africa was trying to spam me now. so far, no cracks that i have seen, although saying she loves my poetry and then saying she wants to keep things secret so to not upset my wife and her husband made me scratch my head a bit. i don't think i have made any poems that people would believe i am married in. but, "she" said she thinks of fucking me while she's with her husband, so at the very least, my imagination is going to have some fucking fun with this one.

so i got up this morning and did the dishes while Manchester United was playing. United was fucking dreadful today. i couldn't believe how shitty they were playing at Huddersfield. they deservedly lost 2-1 today. i really hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

after that game, i had to take a fucking shower. had to get the stink of that loss off of me. thankfully, i think it fucking worked.

the New York Rangers actually fucking won today. they defeated Nashville 4-2. this was the closest they have come all season to actually playing 60 minutes of hockey. hopefully they build on that when they play San Jose at home on Monday night.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

NJPW was great last night.

Mike Judge Presents: Tales from the Tour Bus was about Billy Joe Shaver last night. i laughed my fucking ass off.

Real Time with Bill Maher last night was fucking hilarious.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH, Austin City Limits and George Michael: Freedom.

i figure if the Yankees game isn't going the way i am hoping it will go, i will flip to some college football tonight or that George Michael documentary on Showtime.

i did listen to the emergency State of Wrestling that Sam Roberts put out yesterday. i guess the WWE has a viral infection or the mumps going round the Raw locker room so they had to make some changes to the TLC ppv this Sunday. Bray Wyatt is out so now AJ Styles will take on Finn Balor. Roman Reigns is out so Kurt Angle is replacing him. it's been 11 years since Kurt has wrestled in a WWE match. when i saw this news yesterday, i thought someone had hacked their twitter account or something.

it's just blood

i suppose if i was thinking, i wouldn't have started moving shit in the garage while wearing shorts. i cut myself while moving a filing cabinet. just a little cut on my leg. thankfully, the cold helped it clot pretty quickly. but, i got everything done in the garage, so the insulation should go smoothly on Friday.

the New York Rangers got obliterated last night by Pittsburgh 7-2. as soon as i saw the coach was starting the backup goalie again, i didn't watch past the first Penguins goal. i think the injuries have finally caught up to the Rangers when playing good teams. the boys take on Minnesota on Friday.

to cement a shitty night, i heard back from Rose Red Review on my poetry submission from October. apparently the poems were good but just didn't fit the direction of the issue. it's sort of like getting your pants down, teasing yourself and then deciding to go to sleep instead.

the season finale of Scream Queens was excellent.

the Tony Bennett special last night was much better than i thought it was going to be.

205 Live was excellent last night. Neville makes the show must watch.

Smackdown was off the charts great last night. i loved Renee Young slapping The Miz. making the world title match a triple threat next week is great, especially with Baron Corbin involved. add in some Becky Lynch trickery and all in all, it was a great show.

what a crazy day

when a day involves an assassination that makes you think of WWI and 2 other incidents in Europe that will most likely be terrorist acts, it certainly makes you wonder when WWIII is going to start. and how many in this country are going to be fucking crazy when they find out we are helping Russia fight it. i certainly imagine anyone old enough to remember Russia being the sworn enemy forever isn't going to be happy helping the former head of the KGB with a war. of course, i'm probably get way ahead of myself, i doubt many Americans actually know that Putin was once the head of the KGB.

my thoughts to everyone in Turkey, Berlin and Zurich. i would say prayers but religion is killing us all.

i did write some more poems today, of course. i typed up all 3 of them this afternoon. i really, REALLY like all 3 of them. i'll probably send them out in early 2017. i really want the rest of this year to just be a writing period.

WWE Roadblock: End of the Line was pretty good last night. i thought Sam Roberts did a great job on the pre-show. i loved that The New Day lost the tag titles to Sheamus and Cesaro. a heel Neville is exactly what the Cruiserweights need. i wasn't in love with Charlotte winning over Sasha Banks, but if that sets up Bayley winning the title down the line, i'm ok. i am happy that Kevin Owens is still the Universal Champion, although i really didn't need another Shield reunion tease with Reigns and Rollins putting Jericho and Owens through tables. all in all, not a bad way to end the shitty year of 2016.

i figured if i picked against the New Orleans Saints yesterday they would win. i was correct. Drew Brees had a monster game and the Saints beat Arizona 48-41.

the New York Rangers won in a shootout yesterday over the Devils, 3-2. the Rangers never had a lead in the game, so stealing that one is a little bit sweeter. they play again tomorrow night against Pittsburgh.

the season finale of Shameless last night was excellent. i absolutely loved it.

The Affair was excellent as well last night. Brendan Fraser was creepy as fuck once again.

the Motorhead: Clean Your Clock special last night only reminded me how much i miss Lemmy.

i will be making yet another fucking trip to the grocery store tomorrow. my sister comes down on Wednesday, so lord knows i have to go get shit she wants and what mom wants. sounds like another pit stop in the liquor store again.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. if not. climb the tallest tree you can find and then contemplate the joy of falling.

when talent overcomes shitty officiating

as some of you know firsthand, i HATE when officials get obvious calls wrong in sports. today was 2 of the worst fucking calls i have EVER seen get wrong and how the fuck the humans missed them is beyond me. now, i have some conspiracy theories, especially since Manchester United was involved.

i didn't see Paul Pogba's goal in the first half, where he was offside. it's somehow United's fault that they never called it. so when the blind asshole missed a beyond obvious handball in the box, i was furious. then, less than 2 minutes later, they took away a goal from Juan Mata that wasn't offside or even fucking close to it. i was damn near apoplectic. my thought was since Pogba scored right before the end of the first half, these stupid fucks saw at halftime their mistake and was bound to make sure they didn't help United at all in the second half, especially since Crystal Palace had tied the game at 1 by this point. enter a perfectly weighted ball from Pogba to Zlatan Ibrahimovic  and HOLY SHIT, what a goal. 88th minute. United goes on to win the game 2-1. a vital 3 points to keep pace with the front runners. i absolutely love when talent can overcome shitty officiating.

i was so happy to get The Voice winner correct last night. Sundance Head absolutely deserved to win.

Smackdown was very good last night. i can't wait for the match between Dolph Ziggler and AJ Styles.

205 Live was excellent last night. the triple threat match this weekend between TJ Perkins, Rich Swann and The Brian Kendrick should steal the show.

speaking of this weekend, congrats to my friend Sam Roberts on being able to scratch something off the bucket list as he will be a co-host on the pre-show to the ppv for the WWE this weekend.

Scream Queens was fantastic last night. i can't wait to see the season finale next week.

there are supposed to be people show up here tomorrow to do our foam insulation. considering the windchill will be well below zero tomorrow, i'll believe it when i see it.

i know i will have to do some grocery shopping tomorrow as well.

the roads were much better than i thought they were going to be today. i got mom to her appointment early and thankfully they were able to get her in early.

i'll be on here tomorrow in the afternoon sometime i suppose. not sure if it will be before or after the grocery store.

break out the shovel

the experts said we would get 1 to 3 inches of snow today. so when i went out to get the paper this morning, seeing the snow wasn't a surprise. now, when it was still snowing this afternoon and i needed to go next door to do the trash, that 1 to 3 was now up to around 5 inches of snow. great. so now i needed to break out the shovel and break a sweat. good times.

no heart attack while shoveling, so...

i really thought The Voice was pretty good last night. i think the final two will be between Sundance and Billy. i really want Sundance to win.

Monday Night Raw started off strong and ended strong last night. in between was roughly 2 1/2 hours of blah, except for the Sami Zayn segment with Mick Foley. both triple threat tag team matches last night were excellent. hats off to The New Day for setting the record for the longest reigning WWE tag team champions.

all the Christmas gifts i ordered are finally here. so now it's all about finding the right newspaper to wrap them with.

mom has a doctor's appointment tomorrow at the same time Manchester United is playing. i'm going to have to figure out a way to follow the game while sitting in the waiting room.

i will most likely do a blog after i get home. i know i have pills and more shit to get from the grocery store. it looks like the weather is only going to get worse the rest of this week. good times.

the first half of the Manchester United game today put me to sleep. thankfully, the second half was better. i always felt like whenever Henrikh Mkhitaryan was going to score his first goal for United, it was going to be spectacular. today, i was finally right. it was a beauty. Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored late to make it 2-0. the win was enough to get United through to the knockout round in the Europa League. plus, it was their first win on the road in Europe in ages it seems like. they have a tough one this weekend in the Premier League against Tottenham, so i will definitely enjoy this one tonight.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Winnipeg. i will probably watch a little of that.

i'll probably also check out the NFL game tonight between Oakland and Kansas City.

i got myself a Christmas gift today. i wasn't going to turn down an autographed Ben Harper poster at 50% off.

i still haven't got that fucking poem out of my head yet. i'll try to make the drinks a little stronger tonight. that tends to get the engine going these days.

took mom out for a ride today. she needed to get some cash out of the ATM. on our way back, we saw the guy who farmed our land raking some leaves. i pulled over and put down mom's window. thankfully, it wasn't too fucking cold. he's doing well. mom always wanted to be able to sell the farm to him and his family, but it never worked out. we drove past the old farm on the way back home. i'm surprised there are any trees left.

that's all for me today kids. enjoy the little poem in the music titles.

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:

you ever wake up wishing for a lobotomy?

i woke up this morning with a headache straight from hell. the shitty thing was it went straight down into my neck, where my nerves are all fucked up. good times. it took probably 4 or 5 hours for the headache to go away. just the way i wanted to start a Monday.

the New York Rangers lost yesterday 6-4. they were down 3-0 in the blink of a fucking eye it seemed. sadly, they worked to get all the way back in the game, only to lose it late in the 3rd period to the fucking Islanders. the only positive from yesterday was Eric Staal finally scored for the Rangers. other than that, burn the fucking tape.

that loss put me into a pretty shitty mood. i was hoping for the Sunday night shows to lift me up. thankfully, they did.

Vinyl was pretty good. once again, the music was great. Girls was pretty fucking funny. Togetherness was great. it is probably the show with the closest thing to reality of what relationships are like. Shameless was awesome, as usual. Billions was really good this week, especially with another little plot twist. Last Week Tonight was once again fucking brilliant.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and Gotham. i will be watching Monday Night Raw and some stuff on WWE Network most of the night.

i did a little poetry work this morning. i think i have my next round of submissions planned. of course, if i happen to write some more before the end of the week, all of this is subject to change.

i did listen to Sam Roberts latest podcast this morning, his new one with Cathy Kelley. it's a really good listen, check it out.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i think i will be mom's chauffeur most of the day. between meetings and physical therapy and then she somehow thinks she's also going to be able to work tomorrow (i doubt it)...  i get the feeling this is when i get to be the asshole and tell her no.

it's in the 60's here today. i figure i might as well go out and feed the birds.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

bring on the weekend

i somehow managed to get nearly 6 hours of sleep last night. i doubt it was the beer, so maybe my body just decided to quit for awhile. thankfully, it looks like i slept through the little rain and snow we got overnight. i'm hoping there's nothing else for today, other than a little sunshine.

the New York Rangers defeated Washington, the officials, and the entire NHL review system last night 3-2. i'm tired of bitching about officials, so i won't bother you with it. i just want to point out how the fuck do you give a goal when no one to my knowledge has seen the clear video evidence of the puck over the line. i know it sounds like whiny bitching when i say the NHL screws the Rangers more than any other team in the league, but sadly, it's a fucking fact. thankfully, Derek Stepan shoved it up the entire league's ass when he scored in the 3rd period to win the game 3-2. that's a win over the best team in the NHL, on the road, with your backup goalie in net. i enjoyed the fuck out of that victory beer last night.

Treehouse Masters was pretty cool last night. not sure if i'd want a camouflage treehouse, but to each their own.

the interview with Jim Ross last night was really good. i grew up on Gordon Solie, so he'll always be my voice of wrestling, but Jim Ross runs a close second. it was pretty cool hearing him call some NJPW matches last night.

VICE was awesome as usual. i'm not sure i'll ever look at meat in the same way again. i doubt i'll stop eating it, but i'll certainly eat less of it now. and god willing, i'll be dead by the time the planet is out of water.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live and ROH.

the Dayton Flyers play VCU tonight at home. VCU will win the league outright if they win. Dayton will get a share of the league title if they win. it's the final home game of the season and seeing that they have lost the last two at home, i'm really hoping to see a victory tonight.

after the game i imagine mom and i will go out to eat at Waffle House, we haven't been there for a few weeks it seems.

i got a cd in the mail today from The Mad Poet, a metal band out of Seattle. they sort of mix metal music with classical opera type music, sort of something like Nightwish. if you are interested in getting some FREE music, check out themadpoet.net

i listened to Sam Roberts' Show podcast with Jim Norton last night. if you need a good laugh, seek it out.

i will probably be on here tomorrow sometime after the Manchester United game. hopefully i will have nothing but good news to share.

i did type up the poems i wrote yesterday. i do believe there are a few winners in this batch as well. i'll probably get another round of submissions ready before March Madness truly begins.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
