a nice turn of events...

 so, i was helping my mother pay her bills today when i noticed on her DIRECTV bill that we could get Paramount+ with our account now. after i got all the bills paid, i investigated that. after a little figuring shit out, i was able to get Paramount+ on the TV in the living room and on my phone. at least now if the war between the local CBS and DIRECTV isn't solved by Sunday, we can still watch the Super Bowl on the Paramount+ app. and since there is no charge for it, i will definitely take advantage of all the soccer on the app. that was a very welcome surprise today.

the New York Rangers won last night in OT at home against Colorado, 2-1. i am hoping that will be the victory that gets them going again.

here are your videos for this day of Black History Month:

Monday Night Raw was good last night.

just enough ice to make the trees glisten...

before i get into a shitty ice storm that wasn't and my never fucking ending battle with arthritis, a little poetry news to pass along first.

i sent out 21 poems today; 5 each to Synchronized Chaos, Horror Sleaze Trash and Chantarelle's Notebook; 6 poems to Record Magazine. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

i didn't go out to get the paper and the one piece of mail we had until this afternoon. i only got 4 hours of sleep again. joy. and my arthritis in my back has been nagging me all day long. but, the joy of being stubborn...

The Masked Singer was good last night. i had no damn clue who The Llama was...

Miz & Mrs was pretty funny last night.

NXT was really good last night.

AEW was really good last night as well.

the New York Rangers won last night over Toronto, 5-3.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Young Sheldon, The Unicorn, Will & Grace, Indebted and Desus & Mero. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i guess we're supposed to get some snow in the morning. so, i'll probably go to the grocery store after that is over. i'm hoping the roads won't be too bad.

i should be on here in the afternoon tomorrow.

i'm off to go ice my back yet again.

until tomorrow kids...

some sports, some poems, and a tale about a grocery store bathroom

so much to get to. the trip to the doctor today was interesting. mom was of course running late so i had to fly to get us there nearly on time. her blood pressure of course was high and mine was perfect. as you might imagine, i'm a pretty cool customer anymore. i figure it basically comes down to the fact that i'm ok with dying at any given time. the doctor is a little concerned with my blood numbers given the amount of diabetes in my family. so, looks like i need to hit the exercise bike a little more than i normally do (like not at all) and maybe try some supplements (that's not going to happen), but the doctor did say that given my family history, these numbers are going to be hard to get better than what they are now. i figure i need to lose some weight anyway, so i might as well start with the new year. it won't be a resolution or anything like that. if i lose it, great. if i don't, i'll be on pills. good times.

i didn't get much sleep last night. i wrote three more poems up out of the blue. i really like 2 of the 3 that i typed up this afternoon. i'd like to get a few more out and then have a monster submission day early in 2015.

i watched a ton of football games yesterday. the New Orleans Saints won 23-20. not sure if it was a comeback victory or if Tampa Bay realized at halftime they didn't really want to win the game. i enjoyed the victory beer either way. i finished the regular season 170-86 picking games. that's not bad.

i haven't been that surprised with all the firings today in the NFL. it gives all the talking heads something to do.

i remembered that team USA was playing last night in the World Juniors tournament. i watched most of that, mostly because the goalie is a Rangers draft pick. he got the shutout as the USA beat Germany 6-0. they are currently playing as i'm typing this. they are up 2-0 on Slovakia in the 3rd period. if the game finishes before i post this, i'll put the final score at the end of the post.*

we went out to lunch after the trip to the doctor today. i got some hot wings and fries. i figure the chicken was better than the beef. i'm not sure if my stomach agreed with me. as i was driving to the grocery store after lunch, i could feel my stomach start to rumble. i figured it was just gas. i went into the bathroom as my mom went to go get her prescriptions. thankfully, the bathroom was empty. as i started to piss, i got the urge to shit. oh fuck. i got into the stall and holy fucking hell. i unleashed something that would make the dirtiest fuckers on earth tremble in fear. somewhere in the middle of this madness, a guy came in to take a piss. i made sure to let one rip as i figured, fuck it, why the fuck do i bother to care anymore. thankfully, there was some toilet paper. or, something they call toilet paper. i did do a courtesy flush. not sure why, as the bathroom was empty by that point. the stench was still in the air as i washed my hands and left. i almost felt sorry for the black guy that was coming in as i was leaving. almost.

another night of busy tv viewing is ahead for me tonight. after i get done listening to the Archie Miller Show on the radio, i'll turn on Monday Night Raw. while that is going on, i'll flip over to watch the New York Rangers try to extend their winning streak in Dallas tonight. that should be an interesting one. and then, i'll try to remember to catch the new episode of the Men in Blazers tonight. thankfully, not too long until i'll be living in a house with a DVR and i won't have to flip channels anymore.

i figure i'll be on here sometime tomorrow afternoon. i don't think i have anything planned for tomorrow. of course, given how these last few weeks have been going, only god knows what the fuck is going to happen tomorrow.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. 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.

why does the phone always ring when i'm just getting ready to pull your panties down...

so, there i was, putting the fucking moves on my waitress from the steakhouse yesterday... things are getting hot and heavy and then... the phone fucking rings. i wake up. it's always just a fucking dream anymore. this world is slowly trying to snuff out my imagination. i can't let them win this one.

i was up pretty damn late last night. i was listening to a wrestling podcast while watching some porn. talk about having your cake and eating it too. i did get the dishes done and took a long shower as well last night. all after i went down in the cellar and changed out the water filters. the smell was getting to me. mom basically can't smell anything anymore it seems. i did tell her when i came up from the cellar that i'm certainly not going to miss doing that at the new house.

i guess the closing date for the new house is Dec. 19th. everything seems to be lining up for this to happen. now, it's all about getting some shit done around here on the farm and then hoping we can sell this without ever having to list it on the market. i do think we're going to have to rent a storage space for a few months, just to be able to put shit in before we have a big ass garage sale.

today is a busy sports day for me. the Dayton Flyers play at Arkansas. this is a huge chance for the Flyers to get a nice win on the road that will definitely help them come NCAA tournament selection time. it will not be easy, especially given the way Dayton has been shooting the ball here recently.

right after that is over, i'm driving up to Columbus with my friend Paul to see the Blue Jackets take on the Penguins. Paul is a huge Penguins fan and he has never been to see them. actually, i don't think he's ever been to a NHL game. so, this is basically my Christmas gift to him. i told him all he needs to cover is the parking and whatever he's eating and drinking.

i think we're driving back after we get something to eat, so i highly doubt i will be in home in time to see Saturday Night Live. hopefully i am home in time to see ROH. there is a tag team match i really want to see tonight.

i think i will be back on here tomorrow after the Manchester United game. they play Liverpool tomorrow, so i'll either be really fucking happy or really fucking mad when you next hear from me.

i do hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. may no phone calls interrupt your visions of ecstasy. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

type quickly before the power goes out

i'm trying to get this done before a fuck you amount of storms comes rolling through here. if you somehow don't see this until hours later, you'll understand.

i got good and bad news from the doctor today. the good, i have shown enough progress that i can continue on the path i am on. he upped the nerve pill a little and gave me more pain pills. the bad, the insurance company says that i have to go through physical therapy and it has to fail me before i can get a MRI. might be the dumbest fucking thing i have heard, but i imagine it is to save them money, not the patient. needless to say, since i have shown progress, physical therapy isn't happening. now, if i haven't shown more progress in a month when i go back to see him, physical therapy will be happening. my big goal for this evening is to try to sleep in a bed for the first time in 3 weeks. my fingers are crossed.

the Dayton Flyers started off colder than shit last night. but, they finally woke up and absolutely took over the game. finished the first half on a 20-4 run that gave them the lead by 6. they went on to win 65-53. another must win on Saturday and they will be right at the door of march madness. when this team is clicking, they are really good. when they aren't, it is bowling shoe ugly.

i got home from the doctor/sports bar/grocery store in time to see the USA women's team lose in OT to Canada in the gold medal game. i was really sick when i found out they blew a 2 goal lead with a little over 3 minutes left in the game. just brutal. hopefully the men have a better fate tomorrow.

my tomorrow will be Olympic hockey and hopefully a victory beer.

the victory beer i had last night put me to fucking sleep better than i have for 3 weeks. here is what i missed on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon:

now that is some funny shit.

i'll probably be bouncing between basketball games this evening. maybe a little of the Olympics, but i saw most of what i wanted to see live during the day. of course, if the weather is too bad and the satellite signal goes down, i won't be watching shit. then it will be a night listening to the radio. i haven't had one of those in quite some time.

i hope this finds everyone well. hope the weather is less crazy in your neck of the woods.

be well. be creative. be drunk. be naked. be the train at the end of the tunnel of hope.

i learned my lessons well

last night's game between Dallas and the Giants reminded me why i quit betting on NFL games. because sometimes, you just never know. i got the game wrong, just like every other fucker who didn't play or lives in Dallas did, but at least Tony Romo got me some decent fantasy numbers. not sure why i rushed to start Jason Witten in hindsight, but i'm not really favored in any of my fantasy football games this week. and with the number of injuries i have on my teams, i'm not expecting to win any of them. i've had plenty of seasons where i've lost the first game and won the championship, so i'm not worried.

i barely watched any of the Yankee game last night and they won. so, of course, i will have to do the same tonight. and if they win again, i will have to do my best to not watch them for as long as the winning lasts. i guess tonight will be a hopefully crazy double eviction on Big Brother and myself feeling older than shit watching the VMA's. i know who most of the acts are, i just don't listen to most of them. why i subject myself to this is beyond me.

made a friend of mine a Tom Waits mix cd today. holy shit, i have a lot of his music.

gearing up for the Downtown Dayton Revival this weekend. i'm hoping the weather will be nice. it's not looking good on Saturday. Sunday may be much better, and i of course will be the jackass trying to keep up with sports scores both days. fun.
