i figured i better do one of these again before the world forgets that this blog actually exists. i still am in the process of moving. most of my shit is over here. mom has procrastinated to the point where our furniture will arrive on March 23rd. we have been able to get some of the furniture over in the SUV, so it somewhat feels like a house. the weather hasn't helped much at all.
as for me personally, my shoulder is getting better. i don't feel the pinch as often these days. my right ankle is brutal right now. arthritis (at least i hope that's what it is) is killing me in that ankle. i go to the doctor in a few weeks for my 3 month checkup. that should be an interesting visit.
i am in the playoffs for fantasy hockey at the moment. of course, my team is dealing with injuries, as usual.
the New York Rangers have been playing amazing hockey without The King. to be first in the entire league is truly fucking amazing at this point.
the Dayton Flyers got totally fucking hosed by the selection committee for the NCAA tournament. they were the last team in even though there were a handful of teams that they are absolutely better than. so to turn around and play in the First Four is fucking ridiculous. to find out that if they didn't make it to the finals of the A10 tourney and they wouldn't have been in the field at all is truly fucking ridiculous. at least i'll get to see them play tomorrow. they play Boise State. if they win, they get to play Providence in Columbus on Friday. that would make 5 games in 7 days for them. all with 7 fucking players.
i did fill out a few brackets. i think i have Kentucky winning it all on most of them.
i did write my first poems since i moved. i think they are pretty good. i will get around to sending them out in a few weeks. between trying to move shit each day and take care of the cats, helping my mom and then battling a true lack of sleep, unless i'm typing at 3 in the morning, i simply have no time for submissions at this moment.
i did find it comforting that a guy down the road was cleaning his motorcycles over the weekend blasting Black Sabbath. at least not everyone on this cul-de-sac is on the verge of death.
i've had to get some new bird feeders to battle the fucking squirrels over here. these flying rats are everywhere.
the hockey games that we had tickets to are over. my sister is toying with the idea of getting some tickets for next season. the kicker though is she will be in Africa for a month. so, i doubt that we'll get tickets next season.
here are the basketball games i'll be watching in person today and tomorrow:
Manhattan vs. Hampton and Ole Miss vs. BYU
North Florida vs. Robert Morris and Boise St. vs. Dayton
seeing that the late games don't start until 9 PM each night, i'll be fucking tired beyond belief these next two days. but, as long as i get to see Dayton stick it to the selection committee and win on Wednesday, i'll be fine.
thank god i do have a DVR now. as you might imagine, i'm recording fucking everything. it's made my life much less stressful.
the series ending episode of The Jinx was fucking awesome. i saved it on the DVR as i'll watch that over and over.
once i get a little more settled and back in the swing of things, i'll take some pictures of the new place and show everyone just how fucking packed my room actually is. once i get everything up on the wall, i'll basically be the sociopath that some actually believe i am.
that's all for me today. i hope everyone is doing well. happy St. Patrick's Day to all my drunk friends out there.
i'll probably get back to doing this everyday once the baseball season starts going.
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...

who doesn't love a quickie?
so, in a day where i've had a shit load of computer problems, boxed up more of my life, talked with a beautiful woman in Africa, and typed up a poem that was stuck in my head for two damn days, what do i come here to bitch about today?
IT'S FUCKING COLD OUTSIDE
a high temp of 13 today. holy shit, i can't wait to start loading up cars and vans to move my life in this shit. fuck me.
here's a quick view of my yesterday...
the New York Rangers blew another fucking lead (3-0) but held on this time to beat Columbus in a shootout (4-3). here are the highlights from the game:
i did watch a bit of the Academy Awards last night. here is the only thing i saw that i thought was worth anything:
the Sunday night shows were good. The Jinx took another twist that was fascinating. Girls was pretty funny. Togetherness was really good. Last Week Tonight had yet another brilliant 30 minutes of news and comedy: for example:
Total Divas was good as well last night.
Togetherness actually helped me finish the damn poem that was stuck in my head for two days. i didn't know how i was going to finish it and then something clicked while i was watching the show. i typed the poem up this afternoon (once the computer started working correctly again) and i really like it.
tonight is a true clusterfuck on television for me. Gotham, Monday Night Raw, and The Voice are all on at the exact same time. now, next week, when i FINALLY have a DVR, i will no longer have to bitch about this. but, for tonight, i guess the plan is to watch Gotham and then flip to The Voice and Monday Night Raw during the commercial breaks. since Raw is the night after a ppv, i will probably watch that more. but, i know if i'm up at 3 or 4 in the morning, i'll be playing catch up on YouTube with both shows. either that or hunting for boxes to fill up with old music and books. good times.
that's all for me today. i hope everyone had a great, wonderful weekend. if not, it could always be worse. you could be going to live next to the father of the cousin that molested you. anyone want that fresh slice of hell? or at the very least, would you like to help me pack a few boxes? just asking.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

one of those days to forget
if you have read this blog for any amount of time, i think it's pretty safe that i can assume you know just how big of a sports fan i am. which also means you know there are certain days where, as a sports fan, i'd rather stick a gun in my mouth than face the next day. hello to the present.
where to begin... oh, that's right, a little team in Manchester that probably pissed away a chance to finish in the top 4 this season. i guess it's poison for Manchester United to score first this season. of course, they only had that lead for almost 2 minutes. then, they absolutely dominated the second half but, as the manager said after the game, they forgot to score. who the fuck forgets that? dominate for 45 minutes and never challenge the keeper once and Swansea gets one fucking chance and it's in the back of the net. fuck me. now i have to lower myself into hoping Liverpool wins today so United is still in the top 4, barely. and if that wasn't bad enough...
the Dayton Flyers were always a team when i was growing up that would tease you with potential and then absolutely crush your hearts with a horrific loss to a team they should never lose to going down the stretch of a season. the last couple of years, that kind of loss hadn't happened. unfortunately, yesterday, it reared its fucking ugly head once again. to lose to a shitty Duquesne team by 10 (83-73) is bad, but to lose when only one player gives max effort (Dyshawn Pierre 27 points 12 rebounds) and no one gives a shit on defense is completely unacceptable. if they ever wonder why they missed the NCAA tournament this season, this will be the game they can look back to. nothing quite like going from being tied for first in the league to being fourth because you lost to a team with now 9 fucking wins this season. 9. i think i just tasted vomit.
after that, i decided to go punish myself by shoveling snow. what a fucking great time i had. we had every bit of 6 or 7 inches of snow. after i got the sidewalks done, my back was killing me. but, i couldn't do anything for it as i still had to feed the cats and take the trash out. just imagine what a couple of victory beers could have done for me.
the cats couldn't give a shit that i was there with food and water because i was a few hours later than i normally am. and people wonder why i don't like animals.
i let mom basically have the television last night. so, it was some Dateline and home improvement shows. i was hoping to get some sleep, but of course that didn't happen. so i basically just got on the computer and listened to music for a good 90 minutes or so. since i don't smoke pot anymore, that is my way of zoning out. it helped, i guess.
i fell asleep in the middle of ROH last night. so, i'm going to try to catch the episode today at noon. after that, i may watch a little of the Daytona 500 before i have to go to the grocery store to get my prescriptions. hopefully the roads are better today than yesterday.
tonight, the New York Rangers play Columbus at MSG. i won't watch much of the game as i have to watch the Columbus feed for it, and their announcers fucking suck. since the Academy Awards are tonight, Showtime isn't running any new shows. that makes my Sunday night a little easier. i believe the plan will be to watch The Jinx, Total Divas, Girls, Last Week Tonight, and Togetherness tonight. if everything works out, i might actually be done before 1 in the morning.
since we have all this snow now, the temps are going to get cold as fuck again. so, just about every night for the next week, the low will be below zero. good times. thank god the propane tank got filled the other day.
of course, being this cold will make moving pure fucking hell. and since the internet and Directv is going in at the end of February/early March at the new house, most of the shit has to be moved this week. good times. so, this more or less is my last week of living on the farm. hard to believe i have been here since May of 1997.
not sure how i will like/hate life in suburbia as i have hardly any clue how that is anymore. having neighbors that are within walking distance is certainly going to be a new thing.
oh well, cross that bridge when i get to it i suppose.
that's all for me today. this upcoming week is going to be hit or miss for this blog. i have no clue when i'm going to be on here next. so, until then my friends. hope you're having a great weekend. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

phat Tuesday
i guess i needed some sleep. i feel like i slept most of last night and this morning. somewhere around 7 hours or so. that's an eternity for me. but, that probably means i'll be up all damn night. great.
let's go back to yesterday afternoon and the Manchester United game. for some fucking reason, this team has fallen into the trap of only coming alive when they get scored on first. it reminds me of the last few years of when Sir Alex was there. and much like back then, the absolute fear of losing must be strong. United came from behind to win 3-1. they advance in the FA Cup to host Arsenal in a few weeks. below are some highlights from the game:
i didn't watch much of the New York Rangers game yesterday. the Islanders scored 11 seconds into the game and i was beyond fucking pissed. when they went up 2-0 i turned the channel and decided i wasn't going to watch another fucking loss to that team. i checked online later and noticed the score was 4-3. i resisted the temptation to turn back to the game. when the Rangers completed the comeback and won 6-5, then i flipped back to the post game interviews and whatnot. needless to say, but that victory beer tasted so fucking good. below are the highlights:
The Jinx was really good. i'm really interested to see where the show goes next week.
Gotham was fucking awesome last night. i absolutely love that show.
Monday Night Raw was interesting last night. i definitely thought it was better than last week. the brawl at the end of the show was really good. that should have the fans fully invested for Daniel Bryan vs. Roman Reigns. the highlight of the night for me was the interaction between HHH and Ric Flair. that certainly put a smile on my face:
when i went out to feed the cats, clean off the sidewalks, etc early this afternoon, i was very thankful it had warmed up to 15 degrees. i believe we hit a high of 21 today. fucking heatwave. i am shocked that i haven't found any dead cats, especially since these fuckers haven't figured out that water does fucking freeze.
mom and i went to the grocery store today. i figured it would be easier to do it today than when it's going to be below zero later in the week. i certainly saw some eye candy in the grocery store. i think a few might even make me put pen to paper soon. all in all, not a bad trip.
i have nothing on television tonight that i'm planning on watching. i figure it will be some home improvement shows and then the news.
i hope everyone is doing well. hopefully this finds you warm with a stiff drink or something else stiff in your hand. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.
a little warning for all of you... there may be a few days coming up that i will be completely offline. given the move and the potential chaos coming, i'm not going to try to find time to squeeze in my blog when that time isn't going to exist. now, i'm certainly hoping i can get this move done and not miss any days on here. but, don't be shocked if that miracle doesn't happen. especially when i'm dealing with a shitty ass company like Frontier Communications.

surviving the cold on little sleep
i think what i have figured out in the first 20 or so days of my 39th year on this planet is i'm going to try to live the rest of my life in sweatpants. at least that's the thought for these winter nights where it gets below zero.
i got to watch most of what i wanted to see last night. i took a couple of naps along the way and it somehow worked.
i didn't watch much of the NBA All-Star game at all. judging from the highlights, i made the right decision.
the Saturday Night Live 40th reunion was fucking amazing. i put a ton of the videos on my Google+ page, but here is a couple of the moments i LOVED:
i could probably post a few more. if you're interested, go to my Google+ page, go to YouTube, go anywhere on the internet and you'll find something. given the age i am and my love of comedy, Saturday Night Live has meant a ton to me. and since i have lived a life that has had many a Saturday night home alone, i always could use a good laugh. it was amazing to see all the people they brought back last night. certainly a show i will remember for a long time.
after that was over, i put my plan into action to watch as much as i could stay awake for. after the late local news, i started off with House of Lies. great episode that had a very interesting ending. Episodes was pretty funny. Total Divas was really good. it certainly shed some light on a few things i didn't know. Last Week Tonight was great. here's a clip from that:
then the old man in me tapped out. that wasn't the plan but i woke back up in time to watch Shameless. what a fucking great episode. the acting this season has been spectacular. after that, i caught Girls (good episode) and Togetherness (which had me openly questioning if i am at a point in my life where i am incapable of actually having fun anymore). what a lovely thought to have at 6 in the morning. so, the only thing i have to watch tonight that i missed on Sunday will be The Jinx.
so, for my usual clusterfuck Monday, i'll go from the New York Rangers game with the Islanders to Gotham. after that will be The Jinx and then i'll either flip back to some hockey (if the Rangers are winning) or over to Monday Night Raw.
before all that, i'll be watching Manchester United later today in FA Cup action. i'm expecting them to struggle today since that is how they have been playing here lately. there are some injury concerns so i have no clue who is going to play today. i'm hoping i will be enjoying a victory beer later tonight.
it's starting to snow here. we are supposed to get a few inches. i'm expecting more since these fucks are never right about the weather anymore. but, i better get out there and feed the cats before it gets too bad.
i hope everyone had a great weekend. if we get a ton of snow, i'll try to get some pictures. might be my last snowy day on the farm, who knows.
thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

all caught up and ready for more...
i caught up on all the shows i missed from Sunday last night. i'm really thankful that i did, as it looks like it was a good night to miss wrestling. Last Week Tonight was excellent. this piece had me laughing my ass off:
Shameless was great. the ending was even better the second time around. i can't wait to see where the show goes next.
The Jinx is going to be one of those slow burn shows. it is very interesting so far. i don't know much of the backstory, so that should keep me interested. murder and money is a good mix to keep me right there with the show.
of course, i will be going through this clusterfuck again next Sunday with the Saturday Night Live reunion show. the damn DVR can't come soon enough.
Gotham was awesome last night. i'm REALLY looking forward to next week.
Men in Blazers was good. as for Monday Night Raw, i caught most of what i missed on YouTube. i'm not exactly thrilled with the product at the moment, so i wasn't upset with anything i missed live.
the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue arrived today. you can imagine how happy i was that mom decided to go into work today instead of working from home. good times.
the New York Rangers play on the road tonight in Toronto. i really hope the boys can get a win tonight. they desperately need one.
the Dayton Flyers will be on after the hockey game as they play in St. Louis. Dayton needs a win as well tonight. i really hope that they can find their second wind here soon.
i got some FREE music on iTunes today. i was a little surprised that these two songs were free. i certainly was happy to take advantage of that.
i will be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays. they are in a must win situation and i don't want to turn tomorrow's blog into a rant, just in case.
i hope everyone is having a good day. or night. or drink. or bender. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.
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...

Shameless was great. the ending was even better the second time around. i can't wait to see where the show goes next.
The Jinx is going to be one of those slow burn shows. it is very interesting so far. i don't know much of the backstory, so that should keep me interested. murder and money is a good mix to keep me right there with the show.

bleary eyes and a splitting headache... welcome to Monday
i got a headache last night that nearly dropped me to my knees. it had to have been when the cold front was moving through. between that and trying to force myself to stay awake, just another weekend of a borderline sociopath.
i did watch the Grammy Awards last night. i thought some of the performances were good. but, the show overall was just ok. i know i am in the minority, but i can't stand Sam Smith's voice. to me it sounds like two cats fighting over a dead mouse. i was happy for Beck. i loved how he was shocked that he won. i felt old watching AC/DC start off the show. amazingly though, i knew everyone that performed. more useless information stuck in my fucking head.
shockingly, i did watch a good number of the shows i wanted to watch last night. i was in and out of sleep, so a few of them i'm going to try to catch tonight. so, it looks like Monday Night Raw is going to get the YouTube treatment tonight. i only got to see the last few minutes of Shameless last night so i HAVE TO watch the rest of it tonight. that was a holy fuck ending. i also want to catch Last Week Tonight and The Jinx tonight. mix in Gotham and a little wrestling, and you have my Monday.
as for the shows i did watch last night... Girls was good. Togetherness had me laughing. i really like that cast. House of Lies was good. Episodes was good. Total Divas was yet another fascinating hour of bullshit. i think i finally got some decent sleep around 5:30 this morning. of course, i was up and checking email 2 hours later.
team USA beat Panama 2-0 in a chippy soccer friendly yesterday. it was a good win as the boys have been spitting the bit in the second half for the last six months it seems. finally, a clean sheet and a good solid effort. here are the goals from yesterday:
the New York Rangers lost yesterday 3-2 in OT. i was happy that they got a point out of the game since quite honestly, they didn't deserve shit out of the game. they were asleep for the first 40 minutes. i am fearing what this team is going to look like when The King gets back from his injury.
i saw 18 cats when i fed them this afternoon. i guess they were a little hungry.
when i saw this last night, i smiled. easily, one of the best shows EVER:
mom just had a realtor over about the farm. he thinks we can get a decent price for it and have it sold by mid April. all i could think is from your lips to God's ears. if we can get anything over $5,000 an acre out here i will be beyond thrilled. that means i might actually have a decent vehicle to drive come the summer. the truck stalled out on me again today while getting the trash cans from down at the end of the lane. good times.
that's all for me today. i hope everyone had a great weekend. hopefully the weather is decent where you are. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.
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...
