Super Bowl Sunday...

 well, the day is finally here. Super Bowl Sunday. it honestly should be a really good game. the Chiefs going for 3 in a row. the Eagles, in my opinion, have the best roster in the NFL. but, you don't make money betting against Patrick Mahomes. so, i think the Chiefs will win a close game. i hope, mostly because of my bets, that it will be a high scoring game. 

the New York Rangers won last night in Columbus, 4-3. 

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

Austin City Limits was excellent last night.

i'm pretty sure i'll end up watching most of the Puppy Bowl today.

i just watched Liverpool get knocked out of the FA Cup by Plymouth. they are in last place of the division below the Premier League. that is the beauty of the FA Cup.

i'm sure i'll watch some other sports today before the Super Bowl.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. 

i hope your Sunday will be even better.

best of luck to all the gamblers today.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

until then kids...

so, this happened last night...

 i was on the phone with the muse and i was by the back door of the house. i could hear the squirrels going nuts. i went outside to see if i could see what the fuck they were doing, since it sounded like they were on the roof. i got over to the side of the house and could really hear them. i looked up and there is a fucking hole in the siding underneath one of the roof lines. fuck me. it sounded like there was a fucking family up there, again. i told mom about it last night. i'm hoping i can get her out there so she can see it for herself. i can't tell if the hole came from storm damage or the squirrels just ripped the fucking hole themselves to get back inside. so yeah, not good.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.

AEW Rampage was ok last night.

Big Brother last night was the look back episode. the bloopers were pretty funny.

Real Time with Bill Maher was good last night. i hate when he has the right wing nut jobs on the show as all they do is try to explain Trump's bullshit and how it would actually be best for the country. ANYONE with a fucking brain and can see that bullshit.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

Ohio State plays tonight at Oregon. hopefully, Ohio State will win.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Utah.

the USMNT plays tonight against Panama. this will be Pochettino's first game as head coach of the team.

i'm sure i will watch plenty of college football today.

the Dodgers won last night at home against the Padres, 2-0. the Dodgers will play the Mets in the NLCS. 

the Yankees will play the winner of Cleveland vs. Detroit in the ALCS.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning, before the Saints play Tampa Bay.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

https://www.upthestaircase.org/alan-catlin.html

night 2 of WrestleMania 36 was better than night 1 was. and as much as i loved the Boneyard match on night 1, The Firefly Fun House match between John Cena and Bray Wyatt was beyond fucking brilliant. for every wrestling fan around my age, if you weren't laughing from all the references and the shots taken at the business, please stop watching. kudos to WWE for pulling off an event that was way better than i think anyone ever thought they could do given the circumstances.

Atlanta's Missing and Murdered:The Lost Children was really good last night. i know a little about the story already, so i'm really hoping the documentary will fill in the blanks over the next few weeks.

Westworld was excellent last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

VICE was really good last night.

Homeland was good last night.

Black Monday was pretty funny last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Desus & Mero, The Voice and The Plot Against America. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i did listen to episode 285 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i probably will release another SoundCloud recording in the morning most likely, so keep an eye out for that.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

that's all for me kids. stay healthy...

does the sun exist anymore?

i haven't seen the sun in days. that's not a good thing in the winter for me, as my depression seems to really enjoy the doom and gloom. i got a ton of shit around the house done this weekend. we finally took down all the Christmas shit. i helped mom vacuum the whole house. that's always a reminder of how bad my bad back really is. 15 minutes of standing and i'm in pain. joy.

i did watch both NFL games yesterday. the Texans blew a 24-0 lead over the Chiefs to lose 51-31. the Packers beat the Seahawks 28-23 in the night game.

NXT UK Takeover: Blackpool II was fantastic yesterday.

Power was pretty good last night.

Ray Donovan was very good last night. the season finale is next week.

Shameless was really good last night.

both episodes of The Outsider were fucking amazing last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The New Pope. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i probably will watch some of the national championship game tonight between Clemson and LSU.

imagine if this country gave two shits about mental heath...

i was getting the poems together this morning when i heard the news about the latest school shooting. as someone who doesn't own a gun, i'm for as much gun control as possible. but i always imagine what if we gave two shits about mental health and actually took care of people before they got to the damn stage where they wanted a gun to do harm. now, the optimist buried deep within me believes it would help at the very least. the cynic that runs my damn life already knows nothing is going to fucking change and it never fucking will. and people wonder why i want to live somewhere else...

i sent out 33 poems today. 3 each to The Beatnik Cowboy and The Blake-Jones Review; 5 each to Live Nude Poems, Ink Pantry and The Scum Gentry; 6 each to The Stray Branch and Record Magazine. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

the season finale of American Horror Story was okay last night. i was hoping for a bit more violence.

NXT was excellent last night.

AEW was excellent last night as well.

Cake was really good last night.

The Masked Singer was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Young Sheldon, The Unicorn, Perfect Harmony, Will & Grace, Mr Inbetween and Desus & Mero. i watched NXT UK earlier this afternoon, it was excellent.

the New York Rangers play down in Tampa tonight. i'd love to see the Rangers continue their good play and get a win on the road.

i might watch some of the NFL game tonight between the Browns and Steelers.

mom has an appointment with the eye doctor tomorrow morning. i'm hoping they can figure out what the fuck is going on with her eyes. i will probably do the grocery shopping after that is over. so, i should be on here in the afternoon tomorrow.

it warmed up a bit here today, so most of the snow is gone.

until tomorrow kids...

apparently, the sun was taking the day off...

whenever it is rainy all the fucking time anymore, i get in a pretty bad head space. the pain from the arthritis is getting to the point where it's dragging all of me down. and i know on a good day, i can battle that and just move the fuck on. but, on the days where my past demons start to choke me and i don't feel like fighting for that next breath, i know what is coming next. and i really don't want to harm myself anytime soon, i just know that i won't be able to fight that forever. ah, the life of a poet. write about the pain. write about the pleasure derived from the pain. write about the bleak and the hopeless nights alone. write about a bit of sunshine on a day to commit murder. good times.

the USA women's team defeated Sweden today at the Women's World Cup, 2-0. that means they win the group and will face Spain on Monday. here are the others scores from today's games:
Netherlands defeated Canada 2-1, Cameroon over New Zealand 2-1 and Chile defeated Thailand 2-0.

in the Gold Cup last night, Martinique defeated Cuba 3-0 and Mexico defeated Canada 3-1. tonight, Nicaragua takes on Haiti and Costa Rica plays Bermuda.

NXT and NXT UK were really good last night.

both episodes of The Wrestlers were excellent last night.

i did get to the bank today and made a deposit. it looks like the bank had some roof damage and some windows blown out by the tornado. after that, i took a little drive down to the old Hara Arena. i saw so many hockey games and wrestling events there over my lifetime. to see the damage from the tornado and know the place will never exist again, it felt like a part of me was finally dead.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lip Sync Battle, Desus & Mero, two episodes of Life in Pieces, Baskets and Holey Moley.

the NBA Draft is tonight. i think the first three picks are pretty much a lock, so the draft really begins at number 4.

the New York Yankees start a series tonight against Houston. i really hope the Yankees just keep on winning.

my sister will be down here tonight. i think she's going to be here for a few days. joy.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store.

until then, have a good one...

should i go out and shovel?

i believe we got a good 3 to 4 inches of snow last night. i don't really feel like going out and shoveling this morning or afternoon for that matter. so, i'm really hoping one of the neighbors and his kids feel like doing a good deed today.

when the USA got down 2-0 to Canada yesterday at the World Juniors, i was not happy. when they were down 3-1 after two periods, i was not happy. but midway through the third period, the USA finally started to play their way. they got the score even at 3 by the end of regulation. nothing happened in OT, so it was off to the shootout. when the first two guys scored for the USA, i felt like i could finally breathe. no one from Canada scored in the shootout so the USA won the game 4-3. it's a pretty big win, but they will need to defeat Finland tomorrow to get the easier draw in the quarterfinals.

Ohio State smothered USC on defense last night, causing 4 turnovers and 8 sacks. that's a good way to win. USC had nearly 200 more yards than Ohio State but could only score 7 points. that's as many points as Ohio State's defense scored. Ohio State won the Cotton Bowl 24-7. it was the final game of J.T. Barrett's Ohio State career. i believe he has every damn record for a QB in Big Ten history now.

NJPW last night was the 60 minute draw between Okada and Omega. i believe i now have all 3 matches of their epic trilogy on the DVR.

the New York Rangers lost in a shootout last night at Detroit, 3-2. at least they got a damn point out of the game. every single fucking point matters now in the season. their next game will be outdoors on New Year's Day against Buffalo.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

Manchester United plays in a little bit at home against Southampton. i'm really hoping the boys can get back to winning.

the Dayton Flyers start their A-10 season on the road today at Duquesne. i have no idea what to expect. Dayton should win today, but i wouldn't be surprised if they lost either.

i'm sure i'll probably watch some other football and basketball games today as well.

i ended up typing up 5 poems yesterday. that puts the number at 40 for this month. that's a nice round number to end on. i'll probably send out some poems the first week of January.

that's all for me kids. i hope everyone enjoys their Saturday. hopefully you're not buried in snow.

these rainy days will kill me eventually

i woke up this morning with a horrible pain in my neck. i figured i had slept wrong or something. i then opened up the blinds in the kitchen and saw it was raining. or it could be that i thought. the damn rain gets my arthritis raging inside of me. but, as i have done for 41 years now, just plow through the fucking pain and get on with it. i had laundry to do, which gets harder and harder since i can't stand for long periods of time any longer. nothing quite like folding a t-shirt while it feels like your left leg is about to break. as usual, just turn up the music louder and get it over with. thankfully, my laundry is done now.

the New York Rangers were grossly outplayed last night by New Jersey. the fact that the game got to OT was simply due to The King. he had 45 damn saves last night as the Rangers lost to the Devils in a shootout, 4-3. of course, it was an ex-Rangers player that did them in, Brian Boyle. it never fails.
the Rangers play tomorrow night at Toronto.

Young Sheldon was pretty good last night.

Life in Pieces was fucking hilarious last night.

A Saturday Night Live Christmas Special was funny as well last night. those skits seemed to lift my mood a bit.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight.

neither my mom or i really felt like going to the Dayton Flyers game tomorrow afternoon. it's supposed to be snowing or sleeting at that time and i figured arthritis would keep us from enjoying anything. thankfully, my cousin can use the tickets. they are coming over in the morning to get the tickets and parking pass. i told mom to tell them to think of it as an early Christmas gift. Dayton should win the game. if they lose to Wagner, this season is going to be even longer than i feared.

that game will be on at the same time that Manchester United is playing tomorrow.

i will probably be on here after those games are over.

by not going to the game, we will have plenty of time to pack the car and know exactly how much room we do or don't have before we leave Sunday morning to go to my sister's house up in the Columbus area.

i'm not looking forward to driving in the snow. and i'm trying to do my best to try to enjoy the holiday once i get up there. of course, if the New Orleans Saints lose on Sunday, all bets are off.

i'm going to try to do some writing tonight. if that happens, i'll have news in the blog tomorrow of some poems being typed up in the morning.

if you have already started your travels for the holiday, be safe. if you're smart and having it at your place, enjoy a nice glass of something strong.

this is why you move to higher ground

we had 4.6 inches of rain last night. thankfully, where our house is, it doesn't really flood much. i went out to check since a sewer drain is right across from our driveway and if it starts backing up, i know where it's going. and i really had no motivation to get in the car and go check all the spots around town where i knew there would be flooding. thankfully, i was drinking last night, so i didn't have as much pain as i should have.

before i get to yesterday's shit, a few poetry updates...

i ended up typing up 7 poems yesterday. those are my first ones for November. i really like a few of them.

i sent out 30 poems today. 6 to Record Magazine, 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Live Nude Poems and Synchronized Chaos (already accepted); and 3 each to Rusty Truck, Mad Swirl and The Beatnik Cowboy. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

Manchester United lost yesterday at Chelsea 1-0. they now sit 8 points behind Manchester City in the Premier League. hopefully the boys get healthy again and City collapses at some damn point this season.

the New Orleans Saints took care of business yesterday and defeated Tampa Bay 30-10. they are now 6-2 on the season and still in first place. they play at Buffalo next. that won't be easy.

Shameless was great last night. i am so happy the show is back.

SMILF was very good last night. i think this is going to be a show i really love.

Curb Your Enthusiasm was very funny last night.

Vice Principals was crazy last night. the series finale is next week.

Last Week Tonight was great as usual.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Rolling Stone: Stories From the Edge. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Columbus. i'd love to see the Rangers make it 4 wins in a row tonight.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow as mom has some blood work to get done and a brain MRI tomorrow afternoon.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.
