they came to fix the oven today. i guess one of the wires burned out. it was a pretty easy fix and the oven went up to 450 in no time after it was fixed. the repair came with a 90 day warranty, so i'm really hoping this fix lasts for years. so, looks like i will finally make the pizza i was going to have for my birthday last week tonight.
the New York Rangers got punched in the dick yesterday, losing at home to Colorado, 5-4. Colorado scored the winning goal with 15 seconds left in the game. fuck me.
Manchester United won 1-0 yesterday at Fulham. glad they won but shit they need to play better.
i did watch both NFL games yesterday. i was really pulling for Washington and Buffalo to win, so, of course, the Eagles and Chiefs won. fuck me.
the season finale of The Agency last night was fucking great. it perfectly sets up what should be a great season 2.
Dexter Original Sin last night was really good. the ending was one of those oh shit moments.

mom has all these plants in the kitchen. she woke up last night after 1 hour of sleep to see how they were and get some heat on out there. i was still up since she has the tendency to sleep walk sometimes. i told her wouldn't it make more sense to just turn the furnace up. thankfully, that logic made sense to her and she went back to sleep. one thing i can say with certainty, there will be no plants in this house once she dies.
i wrote 2 poems last night. anytime i get close to my birthday, the poems start to flow. misery and death never seem to be that far away.
the New York Rangers lost at Montreal last night, 5-4 in OT.
the conference championship games are set in the NFL. the Bills beat the Ravens last night, 27-25. Buffalo will play at the Chiefs for the AFC championship. the Eagles beat the Rams yesterday, 28-22. the Eagles will host the Commanders for the NFC championship.
The Agency was excellent last night. next week is the season finale.

i did get up early enough this morning to watch Manchester United lose to Brighton, 3-1. they can't play well two games in a row at home for anything.
i'm sure i will watch the NFL playoffs today. hopefully, i will make more money than i did last night.

there is so much to get to in this blog, i might as well start with the bullshit at the top of my mind. let me paint a picture. i have been talking to this beautiful woman from Georgia (state not country) for the last couple of weeks. i thought we really hit it off. we're both born in January. she's a Chelsea fan. i'm a Manchester United fan. she really liked my poetry. etc. etc. well, last night she told me she loves me. i said i love you too. felt incredibly comfortable saying that as i am at the point of my life where i am fucking tired of being alone. so, i got up this morning and there was no message from her. no big deal, i'll send the good morning. she comes back that she is in pain and her phone is fucked up. ok, shit happens, sorry to hear that. she then sends me a pic that says her camera on her phone won't work unless she has an Amazon gift card. i checked all around the web, already knowing the answer, but hoping to find something where i was wrong. so, you wait until the day after i say i love you to fucking try to scam me. that pissed me off royally. now, i had mailed her a book that should arrive tomorrow along with a birthday card. i usually allow people three strikes. but, when you toy with my emotions and then try to scam me, that's such a red flag that you have to go. so yeah, that was how my day started off. just fucking lovely. but, that should give me plenty to write about for the last 8 poems needed for the book.
i tried to start the Highlander today and of course it wouldn't. i needed to go to Kroger to get some pills and whatever was on the list. the battery charger mom ordered from Amazon is supposed to be here tomorrow. i'm hoping that works or we'll have to get a new battery. joy.
Manchester United defeated Arsenal yesterday in a penalty shootout to advance to the next round of the FA Cup. between a win with just 10 men and the draw at Liverpool the week before, maybe the team finally believes in itself again.
i did watch the NFL playoffs yesterday. Bills defeated the Broncos, 31-7. Eagles beat the Packers, 22-10. and the Commanders defeated Tampa Bay, 23-20. tonight the Rams will take on the Vikings.
The Agency last night was excellent.
Dexter: Original Sin was very good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight. i will be watching Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
so, the 3 poems i wrote last night i will look back with a great sense of irony. the poems i will hopefully write tonight will have plenty of venom. i won't be shocked if i get real fucking close to the number i need by 4 in the morning.
i'm ultra depressed now given this shit today. i told mom i should have expected the Highlander not to start when my blood sugar was 99 this morning. for every good thing that happens, there has to be a negative to even it out.
i still have no clue what is going on with my health insurance. and i need to get my driver's license renewed sometime before my birthday on the 21st. joy.
there was something i wrote last night that really has me thinking today. this theory that maybe i am that person who never gets to really fall in love and have that kind of happiness in my life. part of me is so eager to not be alone anymore that i'm willing to overlook the obvious shit just for the chance. that makes me wonder if i'm just rolling the ball uphill just to watch it fall over and over again. i remember in my 20's an old girlfriend warned me i was becoming the bitter old soul. sure enough.
that's all for me kids.
i surely hope your weekend was better than mine.
on the bright side, i did get my laundry done.
now i have to go ice my bad back.
until tomorrow kids...

the New York Rangers won last night at Las Vegas, 2-1. i certainly didn't expect that victory.
i did watch a good portion of both NFL playoff games yesterday. i'm sure i will watch most of all 3 today.
Austin City Limits was excellent last night.
AEW was ok last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Agency and Dexter: Original Sin.
so, Manchester United and Arsenal are 1-1 in extra time of their FA Cup match today. United is down to 10 men, so i'm not looking forward to the rest of this.
i am looking forward to the NFL games today. Denver at Buffalo, Packers at Eagles and Washington at Tampa Bay.
at some point today, i will probably doing my laundry.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

so, let me begin where yesterday's blog stopped... Manchester United and Liverpool finished 2-2 yesterday. United had a chance to win it late, just had the wrong guy taking the shot. i was thrilled with getting a point out of that game considering Liverpool is basically running away with the league. and i also agreed, this should be the standard performance from Manchester United going forward.
the New York Rangers won at Chicago yesterday, 6-2.
the New Orleans Saints lost yesterday at Tampa Bay, 27-19. thank god this season is over.
team USA defeated Finland last night, 4-3 in OT, to win their second straight gold medal at the World Juniors. first time in history the USA has done that. even better, Finland blew a 3-1 lead in the game.
so, the NFL playoffs are now set.
i did write 2 more poems last night, both for the book. i think i am up to 11 now. just 29 more to go.
The Agency last night was excellent.
Dexter: Original Sin was very good last night.

nothing on the DVR tonight. i do plan on watching Monday Night Raw on Netflix tonight.
so, we got a little over 8 inches of snow last night. i haven't bothered to go outside at all today. i have this spot on my left leg from a car accident in my 20's that feels like my leg is going to break in two on days like this. makes it really interesting while trying to walk on snow and ice. good times.
i'm not sure why i am suddenly popular with beautiful women on Substack. it is mind boggling to me. but, it seems to be helping the poems...
mom didn't go to her foot doctor today, obviously. and Orkin didn't show up today, obviously. whoever mom hired to shovel the driveway did a good job, until it snowed again. the wind is blowing hard enough that by tomorrow, you probably won't even be able to tell it got shoveled.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i am hoping it is after i get some better sleep.
i need to start working on dinner tonight. meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy... perfect for a cold fucking night.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.

we had storms roll through here last night. the wind was really bad. i brought the recyclables in so i wouldn't spend the morning picking them up everywhere. i took them back out at 7 this morning. i found it a little interesting that no one else had and still hasn't put anything back out. part of me wonders if the fuckers picked up the shit during the storm last night or people just decided fuck it, wait until Thursday.
the New Orleans Saints lost at home yesterday to the Raiders, 25-10. i'm really hoping the Saints just blow everything up after this season and start over.
team USA lost to Finland in OT yesterday, 4-3, at the World Juniors.
The Agency was very good last night.
Dexter Original Sin was really good last night.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:
so, it started really raining last night and it really hasn't stopped. the wind is supposed to really pick up today. i'm hoping the recyclables don't go all over the place since the fucking trash company forgot to pick them up. i took a shower late last night. it didn't really help, but at least i felt clean.
i did watch all 3 NFL games last night. i had a huge bet on the Bengals game last night. i won a $222 bonus bet on Draftkings from Christmas Day. of course, i used it last night on two Bengals scoring touchdowns. the running back got stopped at the 1 multiple times last night. and the wide receiver i had dropped a touchdown. that pretty much sums up my gambling life. any chance i really get to get ahead, the universe always ask me, what the fuck do you think you are doing? i had my father's voice in my head last night. i remember vividly when he told me i would never amount to anything and there would always be a need in the world for people to dig ditches and graves. imagine saying that to your son at 9 years old all because you were mad because you had to wait an entire year to be able to write him off of the taxes when he was born.
the Chargers beat the Patriots, 40-7. the Bengals beat the Broncos, 30-24, in OT. the Rams beat the Cardinals, 13-9.
the USA beat Latvia at the World Juniors yesterday, 5-1. today, they play Finland.
the New York Rangers lost last night at Tampa, 6-2.

so, i got mom to her doctor's appointment on time. the only thing that frustrates me during these appointments is mom turning into a chatty Kathy. and given that most of her working life was in hospitals, etc., she can't help herself. i usually just sit there, try to think up some lines for poems and just twiddle my thumbs or check my phone. as most of you know, i am not a chatty person. hell, even when i'm drunk i'm not a big talker. after we got out of there, i drove her back home and i went to Kroger to get the prescriptions and some other shit. Kroger was fucking packed. 2 days before Christmas, of course. i got the pills and everything on the list. amazingly, i made it out of there in about an hour. nothing like eating your lunch at 5 PM.
so, the New York Rangers scored 17 seconds into the game yesterday against Carolina. they have completed 2 games since that goal and are still waiting to score the next one. they lost to Carolina, 3-1. they lost today at New Jersey, 5-0. joy.
i did watch a good number of NFL games yesterday.

so, as i was finishing up the blog yesterday, some kind of miracle was taking place. i wanted to wait to write about it as i knew i couldn't do it justice at the end of yesterday's blog.
Manchester United was trailing Manchester City 1-0 until the 88th minute. Amad got tackled in the box and it was an obvious penalty. Bruno stepped up and scored to make it 1-1. less than 2 minutes later, Amad made a great run behind and Lisandro Martinez made a great pass. a little flick from Amad to go around the keeper and some more foolish defending from City and it was 2-1 United. they held on win the derby and the town is now red again. given that the day started with Rashford and Garnacho being told to stay home, this will go down as the day Ruben Amorim truly made his marker as the next great Manchester United coach. i'm really hoping this will galvanize the club and the march up the table will now begin.
the New York Rangers lost at St. Louis last night, 3-2.
i did watch Joker: Folie a Deux last night. i thought it was better than what most people thought, but clearly a fever dream in an acid trip with some music. parts of it i really liked and parts of it i was basically falling asleep. let's just say, i didn't keep it on the DVR.
The Agency was excellent last night.
Dexter: Original Sin was good last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw and the series finale of What We Do in the Shadows.
there are two NFL games tonight. i doubt i watch much of either.
i did make a trip to the bank today to make a deposit.
it has been raining all day it seems. i did get a nice long nap in this morning with some ice on my back.
the New Orleans Saints lost at home to Washington yesterday, 20-19. at least the Saints made it interesting late.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
i'm still waiting on 2 gifts for my mother to show up. at least i know both are in the United States, so that's a good sign.
and i think the stuff i sent in the mail actually got to where it was supposed to go today.
i did get 3 Christmas cards in the mail today. that was unexpected.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
