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...

fuck racism.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i am running on fumes it seems. i really could use a coma. or just a really good night of sleep. but, considering i have been like this for over 30 fucking years, that boat has sailed. good times.
i did get mom to her appointment with the back doctor today. they are going to continue with her shots and probably start back up physical therapy soon. the shots do seem to help her. and she has done a decent job with her physical therapy at home. sad thing is she doesn't sleep worth a shit either. and being a fall risk... now you see my problem.
here are your videos for this day of Black History Month:
the New York Rangers won last night at home over Calgary, 2-0.
Monday Night Raw was very good last night.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be NXT, the season finale of Inside the NFL and Name That Tune.
the Dayton Flyers play tonight at home against Duquesne. hopefully, Dayton plays better than it did at VCU.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:
got up early today for no reason once again. our contractor called this morning and said he couldn't make it after telling us last night he was going to be here early today. joy. so, i told mom fuck it, i'm going back to bed, which i eventually did. i've been trying to get as much rest as i can here lately as i know i have a long ass drive to make Thursday to take mom to a doctor's appointment. and considering how she doesn't do well in car rides, i'm not looking forward to it. so, i figured, i better be well rested when making the drive so i'm not on a short fuse. good times.
here are your links for this day of Black History Month:
so, after i got done at the UPS store yesterday, i headed over to Big Lots. they had nothing, completely wiped out of any baseball or basketball cards. well fuck. i went to the Dollar Store right next door, and they didn't have anything either. well shit.
i got home in time to watch the Yankees game. when they fell behind yesterday, 4-1, i was very interested if they could come from behind and win. sure enough, the Yankees scored the next 5 runs to sweep the series, 6-4. that's 9 straight wins.3 straight series sweeps. they start a series tonight in Toronto against the Blue Jays.
i did catch some MLS games yesterday. that new stadium in Nashville looks good.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs yesterday:
VICE was good last night.
The Man Who Fell To Earth was excellent last night.
Ziwe was fucking hilarious last night.
Gaslit was amazing last night.
Barry was great last night.
The Baby was creepy as hell last night. loved it.
Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw and American Song Contest.
i did listen to episode 393 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can listen to that by going here:
my mother got released from the hospital today. she has lost some weight and knows she nearly died. so, now i get to go on this journey with her. the next few weeks will be doctor visit after doctor visit and i'm sure she's going to be just thrilled.
the Dayton Flyers defeated Saint Louis last night, 76-53. i was totally fucking shocked that Dayton absolutely destroyed them. i thought the lineup change was perfect for Dayton and will hopefully help them the rest of the season.
Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.
Painting with John was great last night. the season finale is next week.
both episodes of Hip Hop Uncovered were great last night.
here are your links for this day of Black History Month:
i'm still not quite over the refs fucking over the New Orleans Saints, especially since today is Super Bowl Sunday. i do plan on watching most of the game, mostly so i can bitch about both teams and hopefully enjoy some commercials.
i did watch the Dayton Flyers game yesterday. it's probably a good thing i didn't go. i would have either had a heart attack or been arrested at the game. Dayton made a huge comeback to beat Duquesne yesterday, 68-64. Dayton's lone senior didn't play the last 17:59 of the game, all because the coach decided not to play him. the number of times i implored the team to ignore their coach yesterday was in the hundreds. Dayton plays its best when it is out and running. their coach wants them to slow the ball down and squeeze every possession like its the last one you will ever have. it's obvious he doesn't understand the concept of imposing your will on the other team. plus, it's fucking impossible to ask 18 to 22 year old men to think while playing a game. it's obvious Coach Grant doesn't understand that humans are creatures of instinct. thought doesn't come into the picture. and the only reason Dayton won yesterday was the fact that Duquesne had absolutely no one that could stop Obi Toppin.
after that, i watched some of the USA vs. Costa Rica men's soccer friendly. the USA won 2-0.
during the second half of the game, i went and got a haircut. i was in and out and got back home to see the last 10 minutes of the game. i like the haircut and with the temperatures rising, i should feel a little better.
WWE Worlds Collide last night was good.
Celebrity Big Brother was good last night.
the New York Rangers lost to Tampa Bay last night, 3-2. i didn't watch any of the game.
the Foo Fighters concert last night was fucking amazing. 2 1/2 hours of me playing air guitar and just loving it.
Austin City Limits was excellent last night.
ROH was really good last night.
so i thought i'd be a good boy and check my email last night. when i got that done, it was nearly 4 in the morning. i went to go take my pill i take before bed, but i dropped it. i went to pick it up and sure enough, i hit my head on the corner of the desk by my window. of course, there was blood. i got that stopped before i went to sleep. good times.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be True Detective, Crashing and High Maintenance. i'll watch WWE Halftime Heat on WWE Network during halftime of the Super Bowl.
so i got up this morning and Manchester United was already winning 1-0. that is how it stayed for the rest of the game. that's 10 straight unbeaten for United. they are now in 5th place, just 2 points out of 4th.
i did hear back from AuthorsPress in India on the poem i sent them back in November 2018. the poem was not included in the anthology i submitted it for, but they are going to use it in one of their literary journals.
i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. mom has physical therapy in the afternoon and i know i want to go to the bank in the morning. so, probably late in the afternoon on Monday i guess.
best of luck to everyone gambling on the Super Bowl today.
i hope everyone had a good Saturday. hopefully your Sunday will be even better.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
as i have grown older and more understanding of the world and life in general, my hatred for my father hasn't lessened at all. to live my entire life knowing my father chose not to love me as much as he could because he had to wait a year to be able to write me off on the taxes is one of those thoughts that has the ability to fucking drain you, if you allow it. i like to think of any success i have had in poetry as a giant middle finger to my father. he's been gone for over 3 years now. i still haven't gone to the grave. i don't know if i ever will. so, to all the good fathers out there, i hope you have a great day and continue to love your children and your families with everything you have. for all the fucked up fathers out there, allow me to be a lesson for you. every physical and mental scar you put upon your children, they are never forgotten and only the good ones ever get around to forgiving. and if you want that forgiveness, try not to die before it happens.
when Messi had the penalty kick stopped yesterday against Iceland, i laughed my ass off. you could tell the pressure of what CR7 did the day before was getting to him. it finished Argentina 1 Iceland 1. Denmark beat Peru yesterday 1-0. Croatia beat Nigeria 2-0. i really think Croatia is a sleeper team in this World Cup. this morning, Serbia defeated Costa Rica 1-0. the other games today are Mexico vs. Germany and Brazil vs. Switzerland.
the New York Yankees got some great pitching yesterday from Severino. they also got back to back home runs from Stanton and Sanchez. the Yankees won over Tampa 4-1. they will go for the sweep today on Old Timer's Day.
ROH was excellent last night.
NXT Takeover Chicago II was fucking amazing last night. i thought every match was either pretty good to holy fucking shit great. the tag team title match got the night off to a hot start. Ricochet vs. The Velveteen Dream was excellent. and to close the night out, Gargano vs. Ciampa was perhaps the best street fight i have ever seen. the storytelling in the match was top notch. and the last few minutes after Ciampa took off Gargano's wedding ring and spit on it was classic. when you finish a show with the crowd in unison chanting Fuck You Ciampa, you know the show was great.

and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Westworld, Succession, Last Week Tonight, The Affair, I'm Dying Up Here, Drop the Mic and Total Bellas. i'll be watching WWE Money in the Bank on WWE Network for most of the night.
we had 2.1 inches of rain yesterday in a pop up thunderstorm that came out of nowhere. nothing like laying in bed and suddenly feeling pain and then asking, is that fucking hail? sure enough, we had about 10 minutes or so of dime size hail. fuck me runnin'.
this morning it felt even hotter and stickier than yesterday. joy.
i think mom enjoyed her birthday. i laughed at one of the things my sister got her. a pillow that said, welcome to the shit show. fucking classic.
i will be on here sometime tomorrow after mom and i take the Highlander in for service. i'm hoping i won't have to drive that Rav4 for days, unless of course, i really like it.
i hope everyone had a good Saturday. i hope your Sunday is even better.

before i get into the fucking zoo that was the grocery store today, a little poetry news to pass on...
i heard back from Shot Glass Journal on my poetry submission from back in September of 2017. they decided to pass on the poems. oh well. that gives me 5 more to choose from for my first submissions this month. i do have a couple places in mind. i wouldn't be shocked if the first batch goes out this weekend.
i do feel much better. i was actually able to sleep a couple hours in my own bed last night. i'm still taking the over the counter shit though. mom is now sick and i don't want her to get me sick again.
the New York Rangers lost last night 4-0 to Toronto. god, i really hope they blow this team up and get younger and have some draft picks for next season.
The Big Bang Theory was really good last night.
Young Sheldon was hilarious last night.
Will & Grace was fucking hilarious last night.
Life in Pieces was very good last night.
Lip Sync Battle was pretty good last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Treehouse Masters, NJPW, Real Time with Bill Maher, High Maintenance and 2 Dope Queens.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays. hopefully, i will be in a good mood.
of course, if i'm not, the Dayton Flyers will have a chance to piss me off even more...
the grocery store was fucking packed today. i should have known, given there is a chance of snow over the weekend and the fucking Super Bowl is coming up on Sunday. i was amazed at how much chicken was already gone by the time i got there. thankfully, i did get plenty of food for mom and i for the Super Bowl. hopefully my white blood cells are feeling better. i did try to avoid most of the coughing motherfuckers in the store. i only coughed once the entire time i was there. considering i had a snot rocket over a foot long before i left the house, i was pleased that i only coughed once. hopefully i fully kick this damn cold this weekend.
that's all for me kids. i hope everyone has a great weekend.

as i have grown older, i have really begun to dislike games between the Yankees and Red Sox. mostly because they take forever. last night was no different. when the Yankees closer couldn't any out to begin the bottom of the 9th (two infield singles), i knew doom was coming. the bullpen was supposed to be the strength of this team this year. time and time again this season, they have pissed away lead after lead. and to give up the winning run on a fucking walk is mind boggling to me. i'd rather watch paint dry than that again. New York lost 5-4. they play Boston against this afternoon. hopefully, i'll have something better to do.
after that debacle, i turned on some loud music and started to go through the unpublished poems file. i think i have my next round of submissions set up. 19 poems this time around. i'm shooting for Tuesday most likely.
NJPW was excellent last night. i could watch Will Ospreay wrestle Kushida forever and never get tired of it.
VICE was very good last night. it clearly showed how Turkey is becoming the latest dictatorship. hopefully old fuck face Trump wasn't watching to get any ideas of how he could become President until he dies.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be ROH.
team USA has a pretty simple mission today in the Gold Cup. beat Nicaragua and you should win your group. it's just that i don't know if this team is really capable of doing what it needs to do the easiest way possible. when you play down to your competition's level, disaster is always just one fuck up away. and it's obvious that FOX didn't think this game was going to mean anything since it's going to be on FXX.
Manchester United plays a preseason friendly tonight against Los Angeles Galaxy. that game will be on ESPN2. i'll be watching.
i believe my sister is coming down here for a little bit today. hopefully i can get her to buy some broadsides.
i'll be on here tomorrow before the first game of the Yankees doubleheader. hopefully, i will be in a better mood.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

i will fully admit i am one stubborn motherfucker. and i'm old enough to know there is no fucking point to having an argument with someone who can't remember shit for anything. so, of course it was my fault that my mom told me the wrong days for her upcoming appointments. my instinct is to do exactly what my father used to do... argue to win and always get the last fucking word. that pretty much sums up why i'm still single at 41.
the New York Rangers lost last night in Anaheim 6-3. i think they still need 2 points to clinch a damn playoff spot. The King looked a little rusty but i am fully confident he'll shake that off before the playoffs begin. they play again tomorrow night in San Jose.
Big Little Lies was excellent last night. the finale next week should be amazing.
Girls last night was really good.
Crashing was pretty damn funny last night.
Homeland was really fucking good last night.
Billions was awesome last night. the ending was damn near perfect.
Feud: Bette and Joan was great last night as well.

i did watch the Archie Miller press conference today. i suppose it's closure. i have no doubt he'll do a great job at Indiana. i'm now more focused on who the fuck is Dayton going to hire to replace him.
my bones are starting to ache, so i'm guessing it's going to rain tonight.
i have no clue what time i'll be on here tomorrow as i have someplace to drive mom everyday the rest of this week.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
