woke up to snow...

 definitely starting to feel winter like here. it was snowing this morning. nothing too bad, a little accumulation. of course, by the afternoon it was all gone. i guess here comes the two weeks of winter.

i got the house vacuumed today. that certainly took a good bit out of my bad back. joy.

Nate Bargatze's Nashville Christmas was pretty funny last night.

NJPW was 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.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at Cincinnati. the game is on ESPNU.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Dallas. i doubt i will be watching much of it. 

the college football playoff starts tonight. Indiana is at Notre Dame.

i have had a long day of people trying to scam me online. truly the holidays now.

i am going to be on here in the late morning / early afternoon tomorrow most likely.

i will certainly be on here before Ohio State plays at home against Tennessee tomorrow night in the college football playoffs.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i hope all you last minute shoppers find some great deals. 

until tomorrow kids...

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...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

one of those days where blah wins...

 i still only slept 4 hours last night, but i did manage a decent nap this afternoon. the weather is so up and down these past days, i feel a dull ache throughout my body. good times.

the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at home against Carolina, 28-6.

i did watch a few NFL games yesterday.

i also made a trip to Meijer yesterday. i got pretty much what we needed and a few other things and kept it under $60.

the New York Rangers won last night at home against the Kings, 4-1.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

Fellow Travelers was excellent last night. the series finale is next week.

 so, when the news of Grant Wahl's death last night hit me, i was shocked. Grant was the best soccer writer in this country by a mile. he did an amazing job explaining the sport and growing the sport in this country. i still am trying to process his death covering the World Cup. part of me doesn't want to believe it is true. and part of me knows, having just celebrated his 48th birthday 8 days ago, it is the circle being completed. Grant was also an amazing writer about college basketball. i have been an avid reader of his for damn near 20 years. i think i cried for hours last night as i was trying to deal with my own grief. he was the writer i thought i wanted to be when i was a kid, thinking of writing for a team or a sport, long before the poetry bug latched on to me. rest in peace Grant. you were an amazing human. condolences to his wife and his family.

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

AEW Rampage was good last night.

Young Rock was pretty funny last night.

both episodes of Random Acts of Flyness reminded me of why i absolutely love this show.

the New York Knicks won last night at Charlotte, 121-102.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

the New York Rangers won in Colorado last night, 2-1 in the shootout.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live.

i'll be watching NXT Deadline on Peacock for most of the evening.

today at the World Cup, the amazing run for Morocco continued with their 1-0 upset of Portugal. France defeated England, 2-1, in a very tense game. i'm not sure how Harry Kane is going to live with himself after missing the penalty that would have made it 2-2. so, now the semifinals of the World Cup are set. Croatia plays Argentina on Tuesday. France plays Morocco on Wednesday. Morocco is the first African nation to ever make the semifinals.

Manchester United lost 1-0 today in Spain to Real Betis. 

the Dayton Flyers won today at home against UNC Asheville, 79-56.

i did go to Rite Aid and Family Dollar earlier today. i had some pills to pick up at Rite Aid. shockingly, they actually had them ready before i even called them in to have them refilled. i had to pick up some Glade spray at Family Dollar. they are the only store around here that still sells it for just $1.

not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm guessing the morning as i know the New Orleans Saints are on their bye week. i did get the first round of Christmas cards sent out today. i'm hoping to get the rest of them done this weekend and out in the mail on Monday.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

until tomorrow kids...

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.

starting to feel like Christmas...

 the cops are across the street doing something, so it finally feels like the holidays around here.

i did get all my laundry done yesterday. nothing quite like almost throwing your back out while putting a fitted sheet on your bed. good times.

i did watch a good portion of that Colts vs. Patriots game last night.

the Dayton Flyers had way too many turnovers last night at Ole Miss. doesn't help that the majority of the Ole Miss team is between the age of 20 to 26. the kids on the Flyers looked timid for way too much of the game. Dayton lost last night to Ole Miss, 76-68.

the USMNT did not play well last night. Bosnia & Herzegovina were down to 10 men for the last 55 minutes of the friendly. if the USA would have won comfortably last night, i would feel much better. instead, they won 1-0. it does close out the most successful calendar year they have ever had.

i did watch plenty of college basketball yesterday, as well as some of La Liga and the Bundesliga on ESPN+. 

Saturday Night Live was pretty weird last night. they had to really shuffle the show because of the latest COVID variant running wild in New York City.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be VICE, Dexter: New Blood, Yellowjackets, Insecure, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Power Book II: Ghost and Hightown.

the New Orleans Saints play tonight at Tampa Bay. i really hope the Saints win as i don't want to watch Tom Brady celebrate winning the division.

since the Saints play tonight, i'm going to wrap the Christmas gifts i got for my mother and sister this afternoon. i figure i'll get all that done and then vacuum the house and ice my back down for the rest of the day.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after mom has her physical therapy.

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the fucking shot.

nothing went as planned today

 so, i was supposed to take mom to physical therapy today. after that, she was going to get her bloodwork done. i made that appointment late last night. while she was getting ready this morning, she started feeling sick. and then she had a hard time standing up, even with her walker. so, i had to cancel all the appointments and i gave her a cold washcloth and told her to go to sleep. i'm trying to figure out if it was her rushing this morning that got her sick or was it all she tried to do yesterday and that made her sick today. good times. and now throw in some medical shit with my sister and you can imagine my stress level today.

the Dayton Flyers defeated Virginia Tech yesterday, 62-57. i loved the way Dayton played defense yesterday and when they can actually make shots, they could compete with just about anyone in the country. that being said, they have already proven they can lose to anyone in the country as well. but, this was a huge victory for them.

the New Orleans Saints defeated the New York Jets yesterday, 30-9. i'm so happy that fucking losing streak is over now.

the New York Rangers lost to Nashville last night, 1-0. just one of those games where the goalie steals one.

Axios was good last night.

the season finale of Succession was amazing last night.

Insecure was very good last night. hard to believe there are only 2 episodes left.

Curb Your Enthusiasm was very funny last night.

Power Book II: Ghost was excellent last night.

Hightown was good last night.

VICE was good last night.

Dexter: New Blood was excellent last night.

Yellowjackets was great last night.

Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw and night one of The Voice season finale.

i did listen to episode 373 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:

i'm going to try to get the blog done tomorrow in the morning. i have a doctor's appointment in the afternoon. 

Manchester United was supposed to play tomorrow afternoon, but that game has been postponed since United are going through a COVID outbreak at the moment. i did see the Champions League fiasco this morning. United got the better draw the second time around.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i need to go figure out what i am making for dinner.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.
