the winds from hell, and then another dose of winter...

 it has been very windy today. and apparently, winter will return this weekend. joy.

so, i did catch some of the shit show that happened in the oval office today. if anyone in this country actually thought Orange Hitler and his puppet vice president actually gave a shit about Ukraine, if you still believe that after today, you are one of the dumbest motherfuckers that has ever existed. i'm sure that every previous president that knows just how fucking evil Russia really is can't fucking believe this bullshit either. i'm sure Putin is laughing his ass off as Orange Hitler is doing exactly what Putin wants. fucking nuts.

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

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Toronto.

i am going to try to be on here early tomorrow, before Dayton plays in the afternoon.

i hope everyone has a great weekend, if such a thing is even possible anymore.

i did write 3 poems last night. i'd like to get back into doing that every few nights of the week. mom has me so fucking stressed these days, i haven't been able to do much at all. i think she finally is coming out of the fog she has been in for the last 3 days. she only slept for almost 13 hours today. told me that she took her gabapentin for the first time in a week. that's the same gabapentin i had to call in a day ago because she finally told me she didn't have anymore.

that's all for me kids, until tomorrow...

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.

los vientos del infierno

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...

a decent way to start the weekend

Manchester United won this morning 2-0. it should have been more but the referee apparently was fucking blind in the first half. the goals came from Lukaku and Sanchez. i hope i'm typing that for years to come.

hopefully Dayton can win later this afternoon at UMass. i'm not counting on it though.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Treehouse Masters was very good last night.

NJPW last night was a replay of the match between Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega from Wrestle Kingdom 12.

Real Time with Bill Maher was a bit of a clusterfuck last night. of course, anytime you have a Trump sympathizer on, that's exactly what i expect.

High Maintenance was excellent last night.

2 Dope Queens was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live, Austin City Limits and ROH.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Nashville. i don't know how much of the game i will actually watch tonight. i doubt the Rangers have much of a chance.

i believe the NFL awards are tonight as well. i'm hoping the New Orleans Saints rookies win some of the awards. they deserve them, that's for sure.

i will be on here tomorrow long before the Super Bowl comes on. i believe we're supposed to get some snow tonight. oh joy.

i did manage to sleep in my bed last night. i think i only got about 4 hours or so. so, i guess i'm back to normal.

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

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

the cough that won't go away

for some fucking reason, i can't seem to shake this cough i've had for almost 2 weeks now. it's truly fucking annoying the shit out of me. i forced myself to write last night. first time i've written anything in 13 days. 4 poems. i think they are pretty good. i suppose time will tell. i've been trying to sleep more, hoping that would give the white blood cells some time to get to work. apparently they are full of apathy as well. good times.

i listened to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. you can find it by going here:

i enjoyed NXT last night. i thought the match between Tyler Bate and Trent Seven was pretty good.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Big Bang Theory, Life in Pieces and Baskets.

the New York Rangers play tonight at the Islanders. needless to say, i really hope the Rangers win tonight.

Manchester United did not play well today at all. if Saint-Etienne could have shot the ball on goal, United would have been in trouble. instead, Zlatan Ibrahimovic got his first Manchester United hat trick to give United a 3-0 win in Europa League action today. United next plays on Sunday in the FA Cup.

i know i need to go to the grocery store tomorrow. i will probably be on here after that i guess. my hopes of going to the basketball game this weekend has greatly diminished. i wanted this cough to be gone for at least a couple days before i went to sit with 13,000 people again.

oh well.

until we meet again my friends...

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

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

here comes the sun

yesterday was pretty fucking miserable. the weather was wet and gloomy all damn day. i believe i was in pain from the moment i woke up until the moment i finally fell asleep. and nothing that happened during the day really lifted my spirits.

the New York Yankees pissed away chance after chance yesterday and lost both games of the doubleheader, 9-2 and 4-3. they have to win today or chances are they will be playing in Houston on Tuesday.

Ohio State started off slow once again and played the first half yesterday like they were either stuck in mud or pissed that they were on the road. thankfully, Ezekiel Elliott woke up in the second half and decided to carry the damn team on his own. 274 yards and 3 touchdowns lead Ohio State to a 34-27 victory. without that, Ohio State would have lost. maybe one day this team will realize the talent it has and play to that instead of down to their opponents.

the Saturday Night Live documentary last night was pretty good. 40 minutes or so of it didn't record as the local NBC station had technical difficulties. that probably explains why the WWE Network was fucking up last night as well. too much damn rain. Saturday Night Live itself was ok. i thought Miley Cyrus did a decent job. but, i was so damn tired i will probably have to watch it again.

ROH was excellent last night. 3 really good matches from a baseball stadium. can't beat that.

the WWE special from MSG last night had some really good moments and then some moments where i just know i could write that part so much better than what they are doing right now. i did enjoy Brock Lesnar destroying The Big Show, Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens and The New Day vs. The Dudley Boyz. but, leave it to John Cena to piss all over what would have been a great night of wrestling. and i know he always says that he just does what the powers that be tell him to do, but you would think if he actually loved the business of pro wrestling he would tell those powers that be that it would be best for him to put a younger guy over every now and then. but, apparently that asshole can't bring himself to do that just yet. i doubt it ever fucking happens. at least he's supposed to be taking a few months off soon. thank fucking god.

time for some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

Manchester United plays Arsenal in about 30 minutes. i really hope United takes all 3 points today.

the New Orleans Saints play tonight against the Dallas Cowboys. Drew Brees apparently is going to play. hopefully they end their home losing streak.

tonight on the DVR will be the season finale of The Strain, Last Week Tonight, Homeland and The Affair.

i'm not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow as i will be probably still going over my fantasy hockey draft and wondering which players i'm going to lean on for the season. hard to imagine that's starting back up so soon again.

well, i need to go eat breakfast and read the paper before the game starts. i hope everyone had a great Saturday. may your Sunday be even better.

and your pro wrestling video of the day:

i never really cared for this day

of course, i imagine i would have a much better attitude about this day if i was in a relationship or actually had a woman in my life that loved me more than as just a good friend. and to top off today, the snow that was supposed to be 50 miles south of here somehow ended up 50 miles north and is right on top of us. that light dusting we were supposed to get is going to be 4+ inches. fuck me, i'm so fucking tired of winter.

my back nearly went out on me twice today. thank god i remembered the stretches i learned for this type of oh shit moment. the good thing was my back was hurting so much that my neck felt better. i'm slowly falling apart.

i watched a good portion of hockey in the Olympics today. good to see The King get another shutout for Sweden. i'm really looking forward to the USA vs. Russia game in the morning. hopefully i'll actually get some sleep before the game comes on.

so De La Soul was allowing people to download their entire music catalog for free today. i wasn't going to pass that up. so, i put in my email for their first album. i'm still waiting for the download code. my luck, when it arrives i won't be able to download it. at least not for free.

thankfully, my amazon.com order showed up a day early. so i've got plenty of new shit to listen to for a few months. of course, being in this house all day and night long, chances are i'll go through those 11 cd's in a few days.

in my boredom and frustration today, i took some photos...

you can see the rest of them in the slideshow on the right hand side of this blog.

not really sure what i'm going to be watching tonight on tv. i believe the NBA All-Star weekend festivities begin this evening. i suppose if i'm bored enough i'll check that out. of course, there is always my guilty pleasure tree house show on Animal Planet. beats watching the snow pile up.

i'm sure the birds are happy i got my broken bones out there to feed them today. i did see all the cats today, amazingly enough.

that's all for me. i do hope everyone has a wonderful and safe weekend. be well, be creative, be drunk, be naked by a fire but don't get too close...

peace and chicken grease.
