so when i woke up this morning i got the alert that Aaron Judge was coming back to the Yankees on a 9 year $360 million dollar contract. that made me happy.
a delightful trip into the dark mind of an evil genius or simply the musings of an asshole

i woke up to good news...
Tuesday, December 6, 2022
well, one good thing from the Saints loss happened last night...
sadly, i think the New Orleans Saints are inventing new ways to lose now. more on that bullshit in a bit. but, it did piss me off enough that i actually wrote 4 poems last night. they are the first poems i have written since October 25th. our national nightmare is now over. i'm hoping to write a few more and get some submissions out this week.
so, the New Orleans Saints were up 16-3 last night at Tampa Bay. and then the offense decided to shit the bed and Tampa Bay came back to win the game in the final seconds, 17-16. i almost think sometimes the Saints have forgotten they don't have a first round draft pick in the next draft. so all these fucking losses are doing is giving the Eagles, arguably the best team in the NFL, a better first round pick. and they managed to piss me off so much that i couldn't really enjoy the victory of the night.

damn it was cold today
i put out the trash last night and it was 55 degrees. i went out to get the empty recyclable container this morning and it was like 30 fucking degrees. fuck me. the wind was no joke today.
mom's nurse visit went well today. i think mom is much better than better realize. her Medicare is going to pay for some food to be sent to the house. i'm interested to see what they are going to send.
today at the World Cup, Australia defeated Denmark, 1-0. Tunisia upset France, 1-0. Mexico beat Saudi Arabia, 2-1. and Argentina beat Poland, 2-0. those results meant that Argentina won Group C with Poland finishing second, 1 goal better than Mexico. first time Mexico hasn't got out of the group stage since 1978. France won Group D with Australia finishing second. so in the round of 16, Argentina will play Australia and France will play Poland.

finally, back to where they belong...
i don't have much of a voice left. i think i used all of it up today watching the USA vs. Iran. the USA had to win to advance in the World Cup. thankfully, Christian Pulisic decided to sacrifice his body to make sure the USA went ahead in the first half. he's already vowed, from his hospital bed, that he will be playing in the next game. i wish the USA would have made the second half a little easier on us fans, but they don't have that in them. they seem to like the torture of trying to hold on to a 1-0 lead. and that is exactly what they did. now, since they finished second in the group, they will play Netherlands on Saturday.

the day before something...
so, my mother is back home. she still has COVID, so this will still be a bit of an adventure. but, hopefully she will be getting over it soon and whatever the fuck normal is can be back in this home. of course, that's not likely either.
the World Cup today was crazy again. the big upset today was Japan defeating Germany, 2-1. that was another holy shit result. in the other matches, Morocco and Croatia finished 0-0, Belgium defeated Canada 1-0 and Spain put on a masterclass against Costa Rica, defeating them 7-0.

so, the siren still rings, but not as loudly...
it is like a low hum in my left ear today. i'm not sure if it is something COVID related or maybe my mental tricks actually still work from time to time. i have always been a big believer in accepting the pain as a means to control it. after my 3 hours of shitty sleep last night, i figured that would be the best thing i could do with my ear. so far it has worked pretty good for me today.
so, if all goes to plan tomorrow, mom will be back home. the group call today went pretty good. i could tell from listening to mom on it, she is more than ready to be back home. i do feel like i am symptom free, so i will hopefully be testing negative soon.
the World Cup was a bit crazy today. i woke up and saw Argentina was up 1-0 on Saudi Arabia and went back to sleep. so, when i woke up later and saw that Saudi Arabia beat Argentina, 2-1, i had to make sure i had my damn glasses on so i knew i wasn't misreading something. holy shit. in the other games today, Denmark and Tunisia finished 0-0, likewise for Mexico vs. Poland; France defeated Australia today 4-1.

being able to sleep without NyQuil...
i was so angry last night that i decided to fuck it with the NyQuil and just go to sleep. now, i didn't get good sleep of course. but, i didn't have any major coughing fits either. so, i think that is a step in the right direction. i wish i could say the same for my mother. while she is getting out of the fog she was in, i'm afraid her physical health isn't any better.
the Dayton Flyers pissed away a 10 point halftime lead last night and lost at UNLV, 60-52. Dayton had way too many fucking turnovers last night and yet another injury scare.

not the day i was hoping for...
so, i woke up this morning in pain, but i figured that would be the case. anytime the winter weather begins, my back decides it wants a fucking vacation. add on top of that the likelihood that i have COVID, and you can just imagine where my mind was drifting off to today. i guess mom is doing a little better but it is looking more likely, as of right now, that she will need home healthcare. it still looks like she will get discharged on Thursday.
i was hoping to do my laundry today, but i knew that wasn't going to happen with my back feeling like this.
The Voice was pretty good last night. i have no damn clue who is going to get eliminated tonight.

not quite the death of democracy...
considering i live in a state that is becoming more and more bat shit crazy with right wing bullshit, i took a fair amount of glee at watching all the fucking nut jobs in other states lose. now sure, the Republicans will have control of the House, which means there will be constant investigations into all the stupid shit that they don't like that Biden has done, you know like helping fund Ukraine against an unprovoked Russian invasion, leaving Afghanistan (they will hate when they realize he was using Trump's plan to do it), and of course, have to investigate the crack head son of the President. i remember when the Republican party was actually about fiscal sanity, pro business, etc. now, it is nothing but whatever conspiracy theory gets fucking clicks. hell, i still remember the t-shirts from the right saying they would rather be Russian than a Democrat. that made me laugh as i know those dumb shits have no fucking clue what life in Russia is like. but, it looks like the Senate will still be a 50/50 split. i'm sure the Republicans loved spending all that money for a red wave that amounted to jack shit. as for Ohio, i feel real sorry for Tim Ryan. he could have easily beaten J.D. Vance if the Democratic party would have supported him. and to hear J.D. Vance talk about how he wants to do all this shit for Ohio... coming from the same piece of shit that made millions off of sending jobs from Ohio to foreign countries. now, he wants to bring them back? horse shit. two more years of Congress not getting shit done, and then the shit show of 2024 will be upon us. good times.
the New York Rangers pissed away a 2 goal lead entering the 3rd period last night, losing to the fucking Islanders, 4-3. that was the kind of loss that keeps me up until 4 or 5 in the morning.

happy election day...
i don't really care who you voted for or what bullshit right wing claim you are on your soapbox about, i only wish that after today, all the fucking emails wanting money will end. and in case you're wondering, i voted weeks ago.
i did go to the Dayton Flyers game last night. they won over Lindenwood, 73-46. they played pretty good defense, but couldn't shoot worth a shit last night. they will have to improve if they want to win on Friday against SMU. the injuries to the guards aren't helping them either.

the New Orleans Saints had their asses handed to them last night by Baltimore, 27-13. i didn't watch much of the game, thankfully.
