well, i had a productive Friday the 13th...

 13 happens to be my lucky number. and being a superstitious fuck, Friday the 13th has always been a day that i cherish. today was one of those days i suppose. a couple of poems published. more poems accepted for publication. and, i wrote 5 poems this morning while my mother was getting her hair done. add in a trip to the post office to mail back an autographed book to CRK and i have been quite the productive fucker.

thank you to everyone for checking out the published poems today:

i slept through most of the NFL game last night. the Rams won over the 49ers, 12-6.

Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage was good last night.

NJPW was really good 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.

so, i guess Anthem is fucking with me on my health insurance. they sent me a bill today for $613 for my insurance for the first month of 2025. the guy that helps me do this can't find anything as the marketplace believes i should have an income around $20,000 right now. well, i don't. so, he has to send my shit to Medicaid, which will get rejected because my mother makes too much on her social security. and once i get that rejection notice, then he should be able to get me insurance on the marketplace at a really good rate. and people wonder why people get so fucking frustrated with this shit that they do insane things. so, shit is really going to get tight around here in January. and i have absolutely no faith that i will get good insurance for next to nothing given what the government is going to look like soon.

so yeah, if there was anything to piss on my parade today, that was it.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow before the New York Rangers play in the afternoon.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

fuck war.

fuck the police.

saw some snow today...

 we had some snow squalls come through today. that really made it feel like holy shit, Christmas is a week away. amazingly, our contractor came out yesterday and got our dishwasher working. he finally found the part that would work with our water system. both mom and i were shocked that he was here on a Sunday. mom got the quietest dishwasher around and it is. i used it today and it will take some getting used to, but it should greatly improve how much time i have to spend doing the dishes with my bad back. so, most of yesterday and today has been putting stuff back into the kitchen. that hasn't done any favors for my bad back. neither did racing to the toilet this morning. that was fun. so, i had some more laundry to do today. thankfully, it is all done now. as for the kitchen, i am hoping the vent hood will get here before Christmas. it would be nice to have all this done and we can get back to the normal dysfunction that i am used to.

in some good news, i got the results from my stool sample. drum roll please.... negative. i was hoping for that as i don't want to be dealing with colon cancer right now. i know i will most likely have that mountain to climb in the future.

ok, let me get this shit show on the road...

Manchester United and Liverpool played a 0-0 draw yesterday. i laughed at how many of the Liverpool players were complaining that United didn't play to win the game. given the injuries, suspensions, illness, etc., that was the only way United could play and expect anything from the game. and honestly, i didn't think they had it in them. so, now that should become the standard. and maybe you'll find someone in January that can actually fucking score.

the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at home over the New York Giants, 24-6.

i did see a few NFL games yesterday.

here are your highlights from the NBA last night:

the series finale of Fellow Travelers was excellent last night.

the season finale of  Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

The Curse was very good last night.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

i should be on here tomorrow after i go to Rite Aid to get my prescription and after i take mom to the post office.

i need to get started on dinner tonight. not sure what i'm making yet.

the Vikings play at the Eagles tonight. i will probably watch some of that.

the weather is supposed to be really nice again today, so i am going to try to get outside and take care of the birds.

i had one of my usual bullshit internet greetings in the last few hours. had a woman say hello to me that claimed she was from Ohio but lives in Ghana now. there's the first red flag. the second one, she tells me all about herself and how she is a Christian. and then the third strike, sends me her picture and it is one of a porn star. it never fails. how i just love motherfuckers wasting my time.

i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to Rite Aid.

to all my friends on the East coast, i hope this hurricane doesn't come as close as they are predicting.

here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

i did do a little poetry work today. i will be sending some poems out tonight, most likely.

Manchester United won yesterday in the FA Cup semifinal over Brighton. the match went scoreless for 120 minutes. then, United won the penalty kick shootout, 7-6. that sets up the first EVER Manchester derby for the FA Cup title. that will happen in June.

the New York Yankees lost to Toronto yesterday, 5-1. first series of the season they have lost. they start a series tonight at Minnesota.

the New York Knicks won yesterday at home over Cleveland, 102-93. the Knicks are now up 3-1 in the series.

the calm before the storm...

 the weather is going to get fucking crazy here in a few hours. the rain is going to turn to snow, heavy at times, the wind is going to become ferocious and the temperatures are going to drop like crazy. like from 41 to a feels like -30. good times.

at least mom's new chair got here this morning. she got duped a bit as she thought the $40 she was paying extra was for them to take the old chair. actually, it was $40 for them to move it out of the room and put it somewhere else. i opened the garage door and told them to put it in there. i know damn well the store never made it clear that was what the fee was actually for. so, i imagine this might be the last time we use Med Mart for awhile. 

AEW Dynamite was really good last night.

Hard Knocks was pretty good last night.

Homeward Bound: A Grammy Salute To The Songs of Paul Simon was excellent last night.

i need to get going on dinner tonight. i'm going to try to make the home equivalent of the Arby's Beef and Cheddar. this is going to be interesting to say the least.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm hoping we actually have power tomorrow. mom has a guy lined up to do the driveway and sidewalks if we get a ton of snow. i'm hoping it isn't too bad, but i know if we get any snow and have those crazy ass winds, it is going to be a fucking mess.

 i heard from my good friend Janne Karlsson today. i hadn't heard from him for months, so that made me happy. so, of course, we talked about death and joked about it, etc. i think we both know the temptation of suicide, especially since neither one of us are rich enough to never have to think about such things. but, i did write 3 poems after our conversation. Janne has always loved my poetry and has helped me get it out there, mostly due to my refusal to ever be on Facebook. so, thank you once again my friend.

Vice News Tonight had another great two shows this week.

AEW Dynamite was excellent last night. i love a company that shows just how great tag team wrestling can be when done correctly.

Batwoman was really good last night.

i got my order from Topps.com today, both of them actually. i got a Columbus Crew card for FREE and i got a box of that Mickey Mantle set they were selling last week. i did get a numbered card in the pack i bought, so that made me happy.

and amazingly, the last gift i got for my sister actually arrived today from Asia. so now, i am done with getting shit for Christmas. good times.

on the DVR tonight will be Young Sheldon, United States of Al, B Positive, the season finale of What We Do in the Shadows, Cake, Desus & Mero and the season finale of Dark Side of the Ring. i did watch NXT UK this afternoon on Peacock. it was good.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

it has rained here for most of the day. this has been a house of misery for the most part. i think it is supposed to rain for most of tomorrow as well. joy.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i think i will be going to Big Lots at some point tomorrow. i know mom wants to find something to cover the back patio furniture. of course, i suppose i need to measure that shit first before i go. have i mentioned how i hate the rain?

two out of three ain't bad

when i got into bed around 5 this morning, i was hoping i was going to sleep to noon. sadly, i only slept until a little after 10. i've been trying to be productive today, but my busy Sunday truly drained me a bit. but, i did feed the birds, clean the toilet and made some chili for tonight, that's not bad for being spent.

let's start at the beginning. Manchester United defeated Everton 2-1 yesterday. it was bit nervy at the end, but i'll gladly take the 3 points.

the New York Rangers pissed away a 2 goal lead yesterday and lost to the Kings 4-3. thank fucking god i didn't see the end of this game. considering the guy that scored the goal for the Kings was the same guy who scored the game winner when the Kings beat the Rangers in the Stanley Cup Final years ago. if i would have had to live through that again, i would have gone fucking nuts.

WWE Evolution was really good last night. i am so happy for the women that made this event a success. it was easily one of the better shows the WWE has done all year.

the New Orleans Saints took advantage of a sloppy Vikings team last night and won on the road, 30-20. this sets up a HUGE game next Sunday at home against the LA Rams.

The Deuce was excellent last night. the season finale is next week.

Camping was pretty funny last night.

Last Week Tonight was hilarious as usual.

the series finale of America to Me was very good. i thought the series did a good job of showing the shit show that is the educational system in this country.

Ray Donovan was good last night.

Kidding was dark and brilliant once again last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Lip Sync Battle. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i will probably make some cornbread with the turkey chili tonight. anytime i make chili, it's a sure sign that the cold is coming soon.

i will be on here tomorrow after mom's eye appointment. she says she's seeing better now than even after her cataract surgeries. so, that's good news.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

of course this couldn't have happened 20 years earlier

so, i was in the grocery store and this very attractive white woman, i'm guessing in her late 20's, looked me up and down and smiled. i smiled and noticed her boyfriend, a black guy who was around 6'6 and 300 lbs., had his back turned. in my head, i was like this bitch is going to get me killed. now, 20 years earlier and i wouldn't have minded getting into a fight over a woman, mostly because my ego was still cocky enough and arthritis hadn't set in. but in 2018, those days are gone forever. after i smiled i just kept moving, never even looking back. i'm sure there will be poems though.

the grocery store was fucking crazy today. and of course, i had a scroll of shit to buy and gift cards as well. between gas, a prescription, gift cards and food, i was fucking shocked i kept it under $200.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty funny last night.

Young Sheldon was very funny last night.

Will & Grace was hilarious last night.

the New York Rangers won in OT last night, 3-2 over San Jose. first win of the season for the Rangers. first win of David Quinn's NHL coaching career. The King was brilliant in goal. and i think i have a favorite new young player. Brett Howden is fucking amazing.

the USA men's national team lost to Colombia, 4-2 last night. the USA actually had the lead in the second half, so that's encouraging. with all the injuries they have currently, i wasn't expecting a victory, that's for sure.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW, The Shop, Real Time with Bill Maher and Pod Save America.

i will probably be on here early tomorrow as Ohio State plays tomorrow at noon and i think the New York Rangers play in the afternoon as well tomorrow.

depression makes some beautiful art

whenever i fall in love with someone, it's always a hard landing it seems. and since my luck seems to be few and far between, long distance relationships are usually the norm. so, i suppose having one with a woman in Italy was simply seeking to punish myself. i'm not quite buying a shitty phone as why there has been no communication from her end in the last 2 days. perhaps i'm naive, but i would think if the phone was bad but you did have access to email, you might send an email to the one you supposedly love and let them know what's going on, etc. of course, i'm notorious for simply asking for too much.

so depression came to set up camp sometime this morning. and when love is involved, oh the depression gets about as fucking deep as possible. now, since i have roughly 40 years of experience with depression and haven't been abused by mind altering drugs from doctors, i can still function to a pretty high degree while just morbidly fucking depressed. i wear it like a long sleeve shirt in the summer. sure, it's uncomfortable, but would you rather be fat and naked?

i put on some music today and just started to write. i have found over the years that writing is more useful than the fucking tears. i wrote 5 poems today. i really like them. i may even dare to call them brilliant. of course, my ego may need a little stroking to go that far. i do plan on doing another round of submissions in the next week or so.

Smackdown was really good last night. it was so much better than Monday Night Raw this week.

205 Live was really good last night as well.

The Jim Jefferies Show was fucking hilarious last night.

Fuck That's Delicious was really good last night.

Deadliest Catch was crazy last night, especially the fucking ending.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother and Lucha Underground. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i did watch a little bit of the MLB All-Star game last night. the AL won in 10 innings, 8-6 over the NL.

i think i'm going to spend a good portion of tonight icing down my back. mom spilled some of what was in the shredder today as she was trying to dump it into the trash. that was not fun to clean up.

remember last week or so when i said mom had grown frustrated and was just going to start having me do the cooking and cleaning, etc. of course, that lasted about a day or so. and i don't know who is at fault more, her for being stubborn or me for allowing it.

i'll be on here tomorrow after a trip to the post office. my massage chair has an appointment with me here soon.

all rise

the New York Yankees whipped the Royals yesterday 11-3. more importantly, Aaron Judge hit 2 more home runs to give him 50 on the season. that sets the major league record for rookies. the Yankees start a series tonight at home against Tampa. they basically need 1 more win to have home field advantage in the wild card game.

the New York Rangers won last night in OT over Philadelphia 3-2. all 3 wins at home this preseason have been in OT. if that trend keeps up in the regular season, i will surely have a heart attack. they finish the preseason tonight at Philadelphia.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty funny last night.

Young Sheldon was good last night, although it did seem like most of the funny shit was shown in the previews. i'm hoping the next episodes are better.

The Vietnam War was very good last night. it's painfully obvious to see the comparisons between Nixon and Trump. i believe tonight's episode will deal with what happened at Kent State.

The Voice last night was good. i'm going to enjoy Jennifer Hudson this season. these were some of my favorites from last night. hopefully there will be more tonight.

before i go on about Manchester United, a little poetry news first...

i sent out 24 poems today; 3 to Full of Crow, 6 to ZYX and 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Section 8 Magazine and Misfit Magazine. when i hear back from these places i will pass on the verdicts.

i did hear back from Alan at Misfit Magazine. they are in a bit of a holding pattern at the moment and wants me to send again in July.

Manchester United knew all they needed was a draw today to advance to the Europa League final. sadly, that's how they played as well. sometimes they were great but as usual, never clinical. and the rest of the time they simply sat back and gave away chance after chance. thank god Celta Vigo couldn't hit the broadside of a barn for most of the match. now, the red cards late really pissed me off and i do hope that the red card Eric Bailly picked up gets rescinded. i figure it won't, but i can dream i suppose. United will play Ajax in the Europa League final. a win is the only way United can make the Champions League next season.

NXT was really good last night. the upcoming Takeover event in Chicago should be great.

the season finale of Total Divas was actually pretty damn good last night. i think i could watch Lana and Naomi dance forever.

i did watch a little of both Game 7's last night. i was not shocked at all by Washington losing at home and i'm sure the league is happy that Anaheim beat Edmonton.

i have to take mom tomorrow to get her blood work done again for her upcoming surgery.

i just love hate mail, but...

ANY feedback i get from people, i love. be it great, bad, hateful, whatever... the worst thing any artist (did i just go there with myself?) can get in response to their work is indifference. now, i wish i got more praise than i currently get, but... the hate mail never gets old. and honestly, i don't give a shit if you hate my writing, hate me as a person, hate my music or hate my political views... all of that is fair game. but, don't make the mistake the cunt from yesterday made and include my family in it. if you EVER really want to see someone gleefully walk that line of insanity, cross the line that never should be crossed. and trust me, as my mother pointed out years ago, i'm fine with a cot and 3 meals a day. when i tell everyone i write so i don't kill people, they tend to think i'm joking. there are moments in my life, and yesterday was one of them, where no one would ever want to see how close to the truth my "joke" really is. there's your warning.

the New York Rangers lost last night to Buffalo 4-3. it was the first game all season they lost when entering the 3rd period with a lead. hopefully they will use the game as a wake up call. they play Carolina again tomorrow.

The Big Bang Theory was excellent last night.

Life in Pieces was fucking hysterical last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, 2 episodes of NJPW and a concert/interview with Fitz and The Tantrums.

today was the second day in a row with no sun at all. i had to get out of the house this afternoon or i felt like i was going to explode. thankfully, i had a check that i needed to deposit and mom had mail to go out. that got me out of the house for at least 30 minutes. thankfully, i get to go out for longer than that tomorrow.

i'll be at the Dayton Flyers game tomorrow afternoon against Winthrop.

i will probably do a blog after i get home from the game. Saturday morning will be back to back soccer matches; Manchester City vs. Chelsea and then Real Madrid vs. Barcelona. right after those get over, it's off to the basketball game.
