hopefully, you have been relaxing by a pool or enjoying a cookout or something better than doing your laundry and sending out poems. i wanted to get my laundry done yesterday but my back wasn't having it. so, i took a shower last night, got some sleep and got after it today. my last load is in the washer. good times.
the Yankees swept the Astros last night for the first time in a decade. they won 6-1. they are off tonight and start a series at home against Detroit tomorrow.

the New York Rangers won last night in Carolina, 2-1.
the New York Knicks lost last night in Orlando, 111-106.

NJPW was really good last night.

and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Real Time with Bill Maher and Game Theory with Bomani Jones. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
i had to take yet another package back to return for mom today. this time i had to take it to the Dollar General in town for FedEx to pick up tomorrow. i told her i'm getting tired of returning shit that she buys and then decides she doesn't want.
at some point tonight, i need to figure out which poems are going where. if i have any luck, i'll actually get my pain to subside for a bit to do that.
i need to go make dinner so that's all for me kids.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
we had a cold front come through with the storms last night, so it feels like winter again here. joy.
i might watch some of the USMNT tonight against Grenada. hopefully, they will win that game easily, although i know damn well they don't do anything easily.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
until then kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck war.
fuck the police.
black lives matter.

wash your fucking hands.
stay off the fucking streets.

amazingly, the New York Yankees won last night against Houston, 4-1. it was their first victory over Verlander in the playoffs EVER and the only postseason game in history where all the runs were scored in the 1st inning. Game 6 is tonight in Houston. it sounds like both teams will be going with the bullpens today. and since it worked yesterday, i'll state it once again, that the Yankees season will end tonight.
Ohio State absolutely destroyed Northwestern last night, 52-3. i love the focus of this team. they next play Wisconsin.
the New York Rangers lost last night at Washington, 5-2. they play again on Sunday. hopefully, they find some offense by then.
Smackdown was pretty good last night, as was 205 Live.
Room 104 was fucking great last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was fucking hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be ROH, NJPW and Austin City Limits.
i'm sure i will watch plenty of college football tonight.
i might also try to do some writing tonight. i had some ideas floating in my head last night.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.
i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before Manchester United gets their asses destroyed by Liverpool. if not, here's the preview for the game tomorrow:
until tomorrow kids...

i'm not going to sit here and write that i was the biggest George Michael fan. but i certainly would be a fucking liar if i said his music didn't influence me. growing up in the 80's and 90's, his music certainly shaped my mind on many things. god knows, puberty was one of those times when beautiful models in a George Michael video would certainly come in handy, pun intended. my sister and i were watching the news last night when it came across that he had died at 53. i immediately thought about all the talented fuckers who have died this year. this is as bad as i ever remember it. i made my sister watch the movie Keanu last night just because George Michael's music played such a big role in it. another figure of my childhood gone forever. before too long, they all will be. rest in peace George, you certainly deserve it.
the basketball game yesterday between Cleveland and Golden State was an instant classic. and i picked both football games right yesterday, so i'm pretty happy about that.
my sister left earlier today, hoping to beat the rain that's coming. she managed to not forget anything this time.
all in all, i think it was a pretty good Christmas. we certainly got a good portion of the garage cleaned out, so that's a plus.
i did catch some of the second leg between Tigres and Club America last night. talk about a game that had everything; red cards, a brawl, late goals, penalty kicks... you name it, it happened. congrats to Tigres on the win.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Every Brilliant Thing. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
Boxing Day is always a big day in the Premier League. Manchester United took on Sunderland today. it was the first time David Moyes had been back at Old Trafford since he got fired. United got goals from Daley Blind, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and a holy shit goal (albeit offisde but not called) from Henrikh Mkhitaryan to win 3-1. they are finally on the kind of roll that makes you think a top 4 finish is still possible.
team USA plays today in the World Juniors. this is one of my favorite hockey tournaments every year. hopefully they can get a win today over Latvia. they need these points as they are in the same group with Russia and Canada.
that's all for me today kids. if you're out shopping or returning gifts, have fun and some patience.

i made sure i got enough sleep, but do you know how fucking hard it is to stay awake while driving in the rain? i think i must have yawned damn near the whole way to Columbus. that's almost 72 miles of yawning by the way. mom then had me get off on the wrong exit. that was fun. i got her to the hotel in plenty of time. as i told her, i don't drive to enjoy the scenery. i drive because i have someplace to fucking go. i stayed around until she got on the shuttle bus to go to her conference. the drive home was rather interesting. the rain finally stopped and there was about 10 of us wondering who had the balls to pass the guy driving the sheriff's vehicle. i decided i was the one, especially when i knew this fucker had been driving 85 in a 65 mph zone for about 10 miles. so i flew past him and he didn't give a shit. good times. i wanted to make sure i made it to the post office by 1:30 this afternoon. at 1:27, i was pulling into the parking lot.
late last night, i sent off some poems via email. and i mailed another 5 out at the post office today. i sent 3 to Dead Snakes and 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash and Nerve Cowboy. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.
Lucha Underground last night was very interesting. i'm not sure if Pentagon Jr. was really injured or did a fucking fantastic job of selling it. i do know the look on Vampiro's face at the end of the show means there is going to be some dark shit later on this season. that's always a good thing.
NXT was a bit of a filler show as Takeover: Dallas will be live tomorrow night. honestly, the NXT card is better than the WrestleMania card this year. more on that tomorrow.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight (weather permitting) will be The Big Bang Theory, the season finale of Life in Pieces, Lip Sync Battle and WWE Smackdown. after Smackdown is over i will be flipping to WWE Network to check out the Stone Cold Podcast with Mick Foley.
the New York Rangers play tonight in Carolina. i'm interested to see how Eric Staal plays in his first game back in Carolina.
hard to imagine that the baseball season is going to start soon. of course, the New York Yankees have some injuries already, so they are in mid season form.
it is storming again here, so my arthritis is in full hate mode at the moment. so i think i'm cutting this one off here.
i'll be on tomorrow morning as there is no way i'll fit a post in on Friday night. between having to drive back up to Columbus and back and have dinner at my sister's condo while also trying to get home for the NXT event... the last thing i want is to try to squeeze a blog into that clusterfuck.
i hope this finds everyone dry, except in the places where you shouldn't be...

last night was going good for me. i was a few victory beers in and then a stubborn fucking German got in the way and screwed the whole damn thing up.
team USA lost to Mexico last night 3-2. now, i'm not going to say that Mexico didn't deserve to win. they did. i'm not going to say that Mexico didn't outplay the USA for nearly the entire damn game. they did. what i will say is Jurgen Klinsmann has to go. i was all for his hiring and the promise of a fresh, progressive style of soccer. and then i see the results. the two biggest games he's been the manager, vs. Belgium in the World Cup and last night vs. Mexico, and his bright, brilliant plan is to just sit back and defend, defend, defend and hope you catch a break on a set play or counter attacking. when Mexico went up in extra time last night, the USA finally had to start to attack. and holy shit, they scored a goal in the process. what a concept. of course, a few minutes later they gave up the winner as they went back into turtle mode. i'm not sure who they should get to coach the team or become the technical director for all of US soccer. add on to yesterday's mess that the U-23 team lost and probably won't make the Olympics again and you see why the time is now for a change. it probably took me almost 4 hours to decompress after that loss last night. it will sadly take US Soccer a million times longer to get their heads out of their asses and do something about the problem.
i watched Saturday Night Live right after the soccer game. i needed a few laughs. thank god i found them:
ROH was excellent last night as well.
Ohio State reminds me of every punk motherfucker i grew up playing basketball with. so much god given talent yet they always just did enough to get by. Maryland was even in the 3rd quarter of the game yesterday, 21-21. their QB was running the ball like he was a NFL player playing against a high school team. i guess Ohio State finally realized they were getting punched in the mouth and decided to respond. Ohio State won 49-28. it NEVER should have been that close.
the New York Rangers had their home opener last night. i had to go on YouTube to find the player introductions. i was so happy i did:
they blitzed the Blue Jackets for 3 early goals and The King started playing like this:
the Rangers won the home and home winning last night 5-2. 3-0 to start the season while playing 3 games in 4 nights. that smells to me like a team on a mission this season. here are the game highlights from last night:
i managed to get my fantasy hockey team to even for the week. i'm going to roll the dice today and see if it stays that way. i'm hoping it does.
let's enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
tonight on the DVR will be Homeland, The Affair and Last Week Tonight.
the New Orleans Saints play the Eagles today. i have no fucking clue what to expect in this game. i'd love for the Saints to win as i could really use a strong drink today.
i'm taking a few chances on my fantasy football team today. it's one of those situations where i'm trusting my gut and hoping it doesn't have shit for brains.
i have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning. i haven't seen him in months so i get the feeling this is going to be a long one. i know i need some things checked, prescriptions renewed or changed, a flu shot, etc., etc. so i probably won't be on here until the afternoon tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday is better.

i damn near turned the furnace on last night. i woke up this morning and it was 45 degrees outside. nothing like a cold bathroom floor to wake you the fuck up on a Saturday morning. i'm glad i didn't turn it on as it is supposed to be in the 70's tomorrow. perfect timing to get everyone sick.
NJPW was excellent last night. 2 very good tag team matches.
i think i went to bed pretty early (at least for me) last night. and i think it was one of those rare nights that i found a spot, got comfortable, and was out for more than 5 hours. that sleep should come in handy today as there is a ton of shit i want to watch.
first, time for some music:
watch that Joe Bonamassa video above on YouTube and in the description of the video there is a link to a FREE album with 11 songs spanning Joe's career. of course i downloaded it and it is AMAZING.
now, some of this and that:
the New York Yankees play a doubleheader today in Baltimore. i have no clue if the games will be played, given the weather. if they do get the games in, the Yankees only need 1 win and they will host the wild card game on Tuesday.
Ohio State plays at Indiana this afternoon. this will be a test for them, as on the road in the Big Ten always is. i doubt this will be a game they can put away by halftime. but, i would love for them to have a comfortable lead going into the 4th so it's not a possible, oh shit, here comes an upset game.
tonight on the DVR will be American Sniper, ROH and Saturday Night Live. i think NBC is also showing a Saturday Night Live documentary, i'll record that as well. i'll be watching the WWE event from Madison Square Garden tonight on the WWE Network. it looks like it should be really good.
i did a few things outside before the rain started this morning. just as i was coming in from the garage i could hear mom say oh shit, the squad is coming. i looked out the window as both of us thought the paramedics were going to my uncle's house. she got on the phone but thankfully the paramedics were going to the house next door to my uncle. it didn't look like anything serious. mom then wondered if this is what it's like at my sister's condo as she also lives around a bunch of old people. i said no, the only people my sister sees is the coroner. nothing like some dark humor to start off the day.
i figure since it's going to rain all day long, i'll be in my chair all day long, hoping my back and body don't hurt too much. there's plenty of college football and soccer from Europe to keep me busy until tonight.
i hope that everyone has a great Saturday. hopefully the weather is better where you are. i'll be on here tomorrow in the morning before Manchester United takes on Arsenal.

with the NFL starting back up tonight, my addictive relationship with fantasy football begins again. i'm doing 3 teams this year and i feel good about 2 of them. of course, a few injuries and i'll be bitching and moaning endlessly. my goal is to find some balance so my entire day isn't spent checking transaction reports and all the new age stats.
i had a very interesting conversation with a woman on Google+ this morning. let's just say my fingers are crossed for this one. if this turns out to be a cruel trick, it will be the meanest one of all.
got some news last night i didn't want to hear. my aunt Shirley passed away at 65. fucking cancer. Shirley was probably the one aunt on my father's side that i felt the closest to. that's probably because of the vacation to Disney World when i was a child. of course, that was the vacation where i discovered French pastries and my stomach do not get along. and there's nothing quite like getting the shits at the table to cement a moment in time for the rest of your life. i really wish my father wouldn't have lied to his family as he did. 20 years of no communication at all is such a wide gap that i'm trying to close. but it's such a damn wide gap that, at times, i wonder if there's really a point to all of this. i do hope Shirley got the card i sent before she died. knowing my luck, the shock probably sent her over the edge. i have no clue if they are going to bury her here or out in New Mexico. hopefully they decide to take donations instead of flowers at any funeral. i'd much rather give money to someone trying to fight cancer than on flowers that will eventually become trash.
on that uplifting note, onto the fucking New York Yankees pissing another chance to make up ground on Toronto. they lost last night, 5-3, mostly because Stephen Drew fucking sucks. his shitty defense allowed 3 of those runs to score. and to lose a series to Baltimore with how they were playing is completely unacceptable. they now start a 4 game series with Toronto that they need to either sweep or win 3 of the 4. anything less and i will truly believe they have no fucking chance to win the division. and given the injuries that are starting to stack up, it wouldn't shock me to see them piss away a wild card spot as well. hopefully they get a win tonight.
Big Brother was pretty funny last night. i completely understand why Austin lost his mind last night. these dumb fucks still don't realize just how much Vanessa has controlled all of their games. i expect Liz to get voted out tonight and who the fuck knows to win the next HOH.
You're The Worst was spectacular last night. i miss the one relationship i had that was basically drinking and fucking around ALL the time. oh my 20's. hopefully this will be another great season for the show.
NXT last night was pretty damn good. the two main tag team matches were excellent. i can't wait to see what direction they go in with this tag team tournament. here are some highlights:
time for some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
and now some crazy shit:
tonight on the DVR will be Big Brother, Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll and Married. i will probably spend most of the night flipping between the Yankees game and the game between the Steelers and Patriots.
i got some FREE music on NoiseTrade today from the amazing Son Little. i will put the link down in the music section.
i did some outside work today for the first time in a week. the weather has finally broken a little. i'm sure the birds and the neighbors that sit outside and watch the birds are happy.
that's all for me today. not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. i want to get my laundry done and i know we need to go to the grocery store. it sounds like a day where i'll be busier than nine cats covering up shit in a wind storm. that my friends, is the essence of sophisticated white trash.

the weather today and yesterday has been nearly fucking perfect. if i was in a better mood or not in pain at the moment, i might actually open the windows and take a long nap. of course, i don't live in that utopia. my right ankle has been killing me all day long. and the joy of all joys, i woke up this morning with my left hip bothering me. my life would be nearly complete if i can find out that i now have arthritis in my hip. i believe this is god testing how soon will i drink myself to death. good times.
Manchester United had a couple of juicy chances today against Chelsea. unfortunately, it was one of those fucking days where nothing would click just right. and i think all of us knew, if Chelsea scored first, they were going to park the bus and make the game fucking boring. sure enough, that's what happened. Chelsea won 1-0. they will win the title this year, i have no doubt of that. hopefully United will finish in the top 4. i like their chances of doing that even with the loss today.
the New York Yankees won last night 5-4. A-Rod hit 2 home runs and drove in 4. i guess the year off with a drug suspension did him good. the bullpen was great last night. hopefully they can win two games in a row for the first time this season tonight. lord knows, i could use a victory beer.
i'll watch a little of that until the New York Rangers play game 2 of their series with the Penguins tonight. hopefully, the boys will get the job done again tonight.
on the DVR tonight will be ROH. that should be another great episode. i'll probably watch it tomorrow morning before i head over to the farm to take out the trash.
i helped mom this morning at the farm. we cleaned up the house as best we could. today was the first open house. i really hope that this auction in a few weeks will be a huge success. and i really hope my truck gets sold as well as the farm. i could use the money.
that's all for me today kids. i'm going to crawl in bed and start dreaming of Latin women burying my face in their ass and hope all my pain goes away. i guess i better keep the lotion nearby.
i hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.
