happy it must be nice if you found the right one day

i started thinking about this today and i realized i have been single for 41 straight Valentine's Days. i'm sure a good number of them have been by choice but, especially for poetic purposes, a good number have also been the process of elimination. i have often wrote about being on the wrong side of that process. it's not fun. so, part of me would love to break this streak. but, part of me also understands i'd have a better chance of winning the lottery or brokering peace in the Middle East.

mom felt well enough today that she didn't take her walker with her when we went out and about. she also didn't use a cane. i made sure to be close enough to her that she wouldn't fall. hopefully this means her back is much better and now it's just about getting the hip better.

the New York Rangers won last night in Columbus, 3-2. that's 6 wins in a row. they next play on Thursday at the Islanders.

Monday Night Raw was spectacular last night. Bayley winning the Women's Championship was great. but, the best part of the show to me was Kevin Owens. i think him turning on Jericho now caught everyone off guard. that's why it was so fucking perfect. now, the badass that takes no shit, fuck the world, Kevin Owens is back.

Hate Thy Neighbor was very interesting last night. watching a gay pride parade in Jerusalem and seeing both sides of it was both good and bad. i love the number of people that are against hate. i hate the fact that some old man is taking poor boys and making them soldiers for their version of a religion. i thought the host made the best statement though. both sides love to talk, but neither of them listen. now everyone can understand why nothing gets done for peace in the Middle East.

Eagles of Death Metal: Nos Amis was brilliant last night. i'm not a huge fan of the band, but i am definitely a bigger fan after watching the documentary. the footage from Paris and the terrorist attack was amazing to watch. i'm not going to lie, i had a few tears during the documentary. i highly recommend checking this out.

the finale of The Young Pope was great last night. i didn't think i was going to enjoy the series but in the end, it was much better than i thought it was going to be.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, WWE Smackdown and Taboo. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the Dayton Flyers play at Saint Louis tonight. this is a game they MUST win and in doing so, the senior class will set the program record for most wins by one class in their 4 years. i'm really hoping to drink to that tonight.

a quick heads up, look for some of my poetry in the morning...

i'm not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. i still have the trash to pick up here and next door, so that's all for now.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

you'd think i'd be tired...

i think i got to bed around 4 in the morning or so. i was up 2 hours later as i'm still fighting this damn cold. staying hydrated means i go to the bathroom like a guy in his damn 70's. thankfully, i got a few more hours of sleep after that. i haven't taken anything for my cold for about 18 hours or so. a few coughing fits, sort of like back in my smoking days. it's up to the white blood cells now.

The Grammy Awards were pretty good last night, even though i was furious with the technical fuck ups during Lady Gaga's performance with Metallica. the tribute to Prince was awesome. i loved that Adele put so much into her tribute to George Michael. and Adele basically saying that Beyonce should have won all the big awards was truly a highlight.

and of course, a couple of shits from Ohio did this:

all in all, a pretty good night.

WWE Elimination Chamber last night was great. even though i was tired as fuck when i watched it, i really enjoyed all the matches. i love that Naomi is now the Women's Champion and i am fucking thrilled that Bray Wyatt is the new Heavyweight Champion. it's about damn time.

The Young Pope was excellent last night. the season finale tonight should be really good.

the return of Girls last night was ok. there was a few funny lines but... thank god it's the final season.

Homeland was great last night. i love a holy shit ending.

Last Week Tonight was absolutely fucking brilliant last night, as usual.

i'm not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. i believe i have to drive mom around for a few things and i need to go to the bank.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

the New York Rangers came from behind last night and defeated Colorado 4-2. it was the 400th win of Henrik Lundqvist's amazing career. he is the fastest EVER to 400 wins in NHL history. i really, REALLY hope that he is part of a Stanley Cup team with the Rangers before his career is over. and i really wouldn't mind if it happened this season. congrats to The King.

ROH was excellent last night.

Saturday Night Live was fucking hilarious last night. i can just imagine how furious Trump got when he saw a black woman pretending to be him. fucking classic. one of the best episodes in a long time.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Young Pope, Girls, Last Week Tonight and Homeland.

i will probably spend most of the night watching The Grammy Awards.

after that is over is when i have the tough decision. do i start to watch the Sunday night shows on the DVR or do i go over to WWE Network and watch the Elimination Chamber ppv that will most likely be over by then? i'll probably do both knowing my stubborn ass. my good friend Sam Roberts will be on the pre-show for Elimination Chamber, so i definitely know i will check that out.

all in all, just a fucking clusterfuck waiting to happen.

i went to the grocery store after a nap yesterday. i wanted to get there before the pharmacy closed as i had a ton of prescriptions to pick up. i didn't have one damn coughing fit until i was getting the last items on the list. thankfully, it didn't last forever. as i was taking the full grocery cart out to the car, this beautiful young woman smiled at me and said hi. i said hello. i then quickly reminded myself that she looked around 17. i don't want to go to jail with a cough.

another tip for what not to wear while really sick... white shorts.

i have no damn clue when i'll be on here tomorrow.

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

i just love being sick

i had to email my sister and tell her there was no way i was going to the basketball game tonight. i have been coughing for the last 2 days. i'm not running a fever but i definitely feel like shit. i went to the drugstore today and got some shit for my cough and to help me sleep. while i was at the store, life reminded me why i'm a loser. i'm standing in line waiting for this guy to get done with this beautiful cashier that i was really hoping to get a chance to flirt with. of course, an older lesbian opens up the next register and says, i can help you here sir. FUCK. there's another poem. i did laugh when i had to give the cashier the date of my birth so i could buy NyQuil though.

hopefully all the shit i got helps me get rid of this cough. if not, hopefully straight liquor will do the trick.

Monday Night Raw was very good last night. i would have loved to see Samoa Joe beat the shit out of Roman Reigns, but i understand. and i have no doubt that Goldberg taking on Kevin Owens at Fastlane means Owens is going to lose his title. that would make Goldberg vs. Lesnar at WrestleMania for the Universal title. that smells like what Vince thinks we want to see. as long as that means Owens vs. Jericho at Mania, i guess i can live with it.

Hate Thy Neighbor was about the budding racists in Ukraine. i have no problem when someone loves their country. when they are doing it with Neo-Nazi views, there's a big fucking problem.

The Young Pope was very interesting last night. there's only two episodes left. i have no damn clue where the show is going to go.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Anaheim. hopefully they can get another victory and keep pace in the division.

one of the greatest chokes i have ever seen

the only way i was going to enjoy the Super Bowl last night was if someone did something truly stupid and if that someone was with Atlanta. thank god i got to be happy for a little bit. when the Falcons were up 28-3 i was not happy. now, my mother was thrilled since she's a Jets fan and hates New England. she was in one of her passive aggressive moods yesterday and i finally put my foot down. i forgot to take some things off of a chair so she made a stink about it and sat on the couch and then wanted to complain about it not being good for her back. i took the things off of the chair and i told her i'm only going to say this once. if you think you're going to take your passive aggressive shit out on me, you're asking for a murder suicide. that pretty much set the mood for most of the evening.

halftime reminded me just how many damn Lady Gaga songs i know.

when the Patriots started coming back, i was hoping they would come all the way. the Falcons made sure it was possible with some horrific play calling and a couple mistakes. as soon as the Patriots won the coin toss in OT, i knew the game was over. i will not remember this game as Tom Brady ending the debate on the best QB in history, etc. i will remember this game for the Falcons blowing a huge ass lead and choking away a Super Bowl. that's a cherry on top for any New Orleans Saints fan.

the New York Rangers won yesterday 4-3 over Calgary. hopefully they will now start to get on a roll.

The Young Pope was really good last night. tonight's show should certainly be very interesting.

i had to take mom to a doctor's appointment today. her hip replacement is scheduled for early April. at least it should happen after WrestleMania and the NCAA basketball championship.

it just started raining here and i think i'm coming down with a cold. just in time for the basketball game tomorrow night. joy.

since the Super Bowl this year is between two teams i absolutely detest, i really don't give a shit who wins. much like most years being a New Orleans Saints fan, i'm hoping the commercials are really good.

Austin City Limits was excellent last night, mostly because of one of my favorite bands, St. Paul & The Broken Bones.

ROH was really good last night.

Saturday Night Live was hilarious (sometimes), sloppy (most of the time) and pretty good last night. you could tell Kristen Stewart was nervous as hell, which probably explains saying the word fucking on network tv. but, Melissa McCarthy's version of Sean Spicer saved the whole damn show, it was fucking fantastic.

i'll sleep sometime after i die

i can't stand when i go to bed and know i need to be up at like 6 or something and the first time i see the clock it says 3:10 AM. fuck me. my life is just a series of cat naps anymore i guess. i did get up early enough this morning to get a shower in before i took mom to her doctor's appointment.

i guess the shots worked good enough that she doesn't need surgery on her back right now. she goes back to this doctor in 2 months. in the meantime, she needs to figure out when she's going to get her hip done. good times.

the ending of Monday Night Raw saved the show for me last night. HHH coming out and doing a great long promo on Seth Rollins and then teasing getting ready to fight. that brings out Seth Rollins and then out of nowhere, Samoa Joe beats the shit out of Rollins. i absolutely loved it. that almost makes up for Joe not being in the Royal Rumble.

Gotham was really good last night. i can't wait to see what happens when the show comes back in April.

i watched The Young Pope this afternoon. this latest episode was excellent.

i also watched Becoming Warren Buffett this afternoon. if more rich people were like this man, this world wouldn't be the shit show it is.

Hate Thy Neighbor was very interesting last night. it also showed me why i gave up on religion.

are you proud of the king you elected now?

i'm not going to turn this entire blog post into a political rant, but i would like to get something off of my chest. i never honestly thought i would see a time in my life where this country would dip back into its past and do something truly fucking stupid. i suppose being naive is not a good thing, especially when dealing with rich people. the #MuslimBan is one of the stupidest things i have seen this country do. it's even more scary when you realize King Trump didn't include the 3 countries he has business with in the ban. you dumb fucks still want a business man to run the country? the countless stories of the highly educated people that were blocked from coming into the country for their jobs and after years of being vetted is just so fucking stupid. has this country ever fucking thought to maybe take care of the terrorists that are homegrown first? my only hope is someone has the fucking guts to impeach the fucker. i'm sure he'll start a fucking race war before that can happen though. i always wondered what it was like in this country when there was daily riots and just pure fucking chaos. i guess the asshole is providing a trip down memory lane. appropriate i guess since i'm sure that fucker couldn't pass a history test to save his fucking life. i want all of you to go to this link and really read this, i mean really let it sink in...

on the whole, the Royal Rumble last night was a very good show. i don't have a complaint about who won the Rumble (Randy Orton), just some minor things to bitch about. as for John Cena winning his 16th world title (same as Ric Flair), i have some major bitching about that. the match between him and AJ Styles was excellent, but i know damn well that Cena couldn't out wrestle AJ in his fucking sleep with both arms broken. what pissed me off even more was this fucking ego maniac did a god damn Make A Wish thing right after the match. on camera of course. don't get me wrong, i love that John Cena has given so much of his time to Make A Wish. but the need to have it fucking publicized like that is the sign of a true fucking asshole. as for the Rumble, the only real surprise was Tye Dillinger coming in at number 10 (appropriate since his gimmick is the Perfect 10). when Roman Reigns came in at 30, i had the feeling of Vince shoving his dick down my throat. where was Samoa Joe? where was the 100,000 other people other than Roman you could have picked. and then when Roman eliminated my pick to win it all, Bray Wyatt, i nearly wanted to break my damn computer. (my Blu-ray player shit the bed last night, so i had to watch the event on the computer). thankfully, Orton eliminated Reigns. now, i have seen Orton vs. Cena more times than i care to admit. if that's the WrestleMania main event, it's time to put Vince in a home. hopefully that's not the case, although with Vince out of the way, i have no doubt HHH could do the job way better.

The Young Pope was very good last night. tonight should be pretty interesting.

Homeland was really good last night.

The Affair was not the season finale i was expecting, especially after the holy shit episode the week before. don't get me wrong, it was a very good episode, but it certainly left plenty of loose ends.

enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Gotham, The Young Pope, Hate Thy Neighbor and Becoming Warren Buffett. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

team USA had a pretty boring soccer match yesterday against Serbia. i'm not sure the USA was really trying to score. i think they thought it was more important to keep a clean sheet. so, a 0-0 draw it was.

i did watch some of the NHL All-Star game yesterday. i really like that they have turned this into a 3 on 3 tournament. it's more entertaining than a regular game.

i did do a little poetry work today. i think i may have a new place to send to. more on that in February.

i'll be on here tomorrow in the afternoon. i have to take mom to a doctor's appointment in the morning.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

that's much more like it

when i saw Manchester United's starting lineup for their game today, i was intrigued. 9 changes to the squad, with plenty of names that rarely play. for the first 40 or so minutes, it was pure frustration. for the last 50 minutes of the game, it was a fun day at the park. Manchester United won 4-0 over Wigan to advance to the final 16 of the FA Cup. all in all, i have no complaints. enjoy a rare day.

Austin City Limits was pretty good last night.

ROH was excellent last night. i could watch Jay Briscoe and Jay Lethal wrestle against each other forever and never get bored.

NXT Takeover: San Antonio last night saw a couple title changes. i expected the tag team titles to change hands but i didn't expect Nakamura to lose. but, it's not like having Bobby Roode as the champion is a bad thing. it was a very good show, especially for one that didn't have much hype coming into it. the pre-show was very good as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Young Pope, Homeland and the season finale of The Affair.

i will be watching the Royal Rumble for most of the evening. this is one of my favorite wrestling events every year. hopefully this one has plenty of surprises. i have no clue who is going to win it this year, so that makes it even more interesting.

team USA plays a soccer friendly against Serbia today. it's the first match with Bruce Arena back as head coach. i'm going to try to watch some of it before the wrestling starts. hopefully they play as a team today. that would be a good start.

the NHL All-Star game is today as well. i doubt i watch much of it. i will catch some highlights like i did of the skills competition last night.

there might be some snow this evening. hopefully my sister gets back home before that shit starts.

out and about

so, mom decided she wanted to get a haircut today and take me out for my belated birthday lunch. i get a free coupon from Perkins every year, so that's where we usually go.

she decided to just use the cane today. i was very interested to see how she would do. of course, her cataracts were fucking with her today...

lunch was good, mom was being very careful while using the cane. i could tell she has become somewhat dependent on the walker. we went to the place we usually go to get our haircuts. this was the first time i had my hair cut by a black woman in god knows how long. she was a smoker as well. i could smell Newport all over her. i used to smoke them sometimes in my past. ah, the memories. the haircut went well, so i gave her a nice tip (40%). mom looked much better as well once she was done.

i know mom really needed this as she was feeling like a shut in. hopefully this lifts her spirits a bit.

the trash is already picked up, so let's get going on the blog...

Gotham was really fucking good last night. the winter finale should be amazing next week.

Hate Thy Neighbor was very interesting last night. i made my mother watch it as well. i'm always amazed at how ignorant racist people really are. this should be a show that everyone should watch. it's on Viceland.

The Young Pope was very good last night.

Beware the Slenderman was fascinating to watch. i'm so fucking happy i have never brought any children into this world. when the one mother said last night that they always knew there was a possibility that the father's schizophrenia could be passed on, i wanted to throw my remote through the television. it was not an easy documentary to watch. of course, i'm quick to blame the parents. i'm also happy that i had discovered drugs way before the internet came around so i wouldn't turn into one of these zombies believing crazy shit on the net. i highly recommend this one, but be warned, there are no easy answers on this one.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i did mark out a bit at the end when Goldberg and Brock Lesnar were in the ring and The Undertaker's music hit. it's not really good for business when the show ends with 3 part timers, but the child in me loved it. Royal Rumble this Sunday should be amazing.

the New York Rangers were badly outshot last night 38-17 but thanks to The King, the Rangers defeated the Los Angeles Kings 3-2. 3 wins in a row now. hopefully they have righted the ship.

my blood sugar was pretty good this morning. i'm trying to limit myself to just one alcoholic beverage per evening. so far, that has gone well. plus, the numbers seem to be better when i have a big lunch and not much for dinner.

tomorrow i know i need to go to the bank and i have to get gas as well. i might make a trip to Menards as well. that kind of depends on how the weather is tomorrow. i'll do the blog after all that.

i think it has rained on and off for the last 15 hours. i have a dull ache in my head that has been with me all day. coffee didn't do a thing for it, neither has any medicine. good times.

the Dayton Flyers got off to a slow start yesterday. thankfully, Saint Louis is inept enough they couldn't take advantage of it. Dayton won yesterday 67-46. with Richmond and La Salle both losing yesterday, Dayton is now in first place by itself. they will travel to VCU on Friday.

the New York Rangers won yesterday 1-0 in overtime at Detroit. holy shit, a winning streak. they play again tonight at home against the L.A. Kings.

The Young Pope was really good last night. i can't wait to see what happens tonight.

Homeland was pretty interesting last night. of course, if you have seen the whole series, you could see all this coming a mile away.

The Affair had a holy shit ending last night. i'm guessing the season finale next week will be a complete mindfuck.

The Rolling Stones: Havana Moon was excellent. Cuba is definitely a place i'd love to go to before i die.

i did write 10 poems yesterday. that's 20 poems in the last 3 days. not bad. i typed up the 10 i wrote yesterday and i really like a few of them. sadly, too many of them will get put it in the hopefully, someone likes this shit pile.

i guess winter will be coming back next weekend. great, a few days near 60 and then back into the 20's. yeah, there's no climate crisis or anything.

so when the grocery store called this afternoon to tell us our prescriptions were ready, mom warned me. one of her pills has a comma in the price, so be prepared. ok, great. i got to the store and gave the woman the info. i had 5 things coming, mom had 6. oh joy. the woman looked at the prices for the drugs for my mom and was like sir, do you know how much these cost? i laughed and said yes, i came prepared. i broke out my credit card with the highest limit and when it was all said and done, the total was just under $2,000. nothing like walking out of a pharmacy with 2 grocery bags of drugs. so, tomorrow morning i get to wake up, piss and then go check my blood sugar. good times.

i completely forgot that Gotham was coming back on last night. thankfully, i was able to watch it this morning online. it was excellent as usual.

i'm all in on The Young Pope. the second episode last night was great. i love the subtle humor and just how bizarre or surreal all of it can be at times. plus, the storyline of a vicious pope who is pissed because he was an orphan and now wants to take it out on the people is excellent.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i'm thrilled that Kurt Angle is going in the Hall of Fame. plus, this year's Royal Rumble looks like it could be an instant classic.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown and Taboo. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Dallas. hopefully they can get a damn win tonight.

i've been doing my laundry today on top of everything else. i still haven't even read the damn paper or picked up the trash here yet. now you know why the title of this post is what it is.

i did listen to the latest Jim Norton and Sam Roberts Podcast today. it was hilarious. you can find it by going here: https://soundcloud.com/jimandsamshow/ep-009-jims-weekend-d-bags-sexy-voice

i think tomorrow might be the day i decide to torture myself and go get my driver's license renewed. who knows, i might have something interesting to talk about after that. or at least write about.

that's all for me kids. i have shit to do, clothes to fold, trash to collect...

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...

yet another dreary day

i thought i was doing everything pretty much correctly. i've cut way down on the amount sugar i put in my body. of course, being a writer, exercise really isn't part of the lifestyle. so when the doctor told me this morning my A1C was the same as last time, i wasn't very happy. so now i get to take another drug with the drug i'm currently taking and i get to stick myself every morning and check my numbers. oh goody. good thing my birthday is coming up. increases the chances of me just drinking myself to death.

i did watch some of both football games yesterday. that Dallas vs. Green Bay game was definitely an instant classic. the conference championship games coming up on Sunday should be good.

Manchester United got a draw with Liverpool yesterday, 1-1. Paul Pogba had a regrettable game, as did much of the United team. thankfully, Zlatan came through once again. i tried to be happy after the game, but honestly, it felt like 2 points lost.

The Young Pope was crazy last night. i'm not sure yet if i'm really going to like the show or not.

Homeland was good last night. it looks like they thought Hillary was going to win as well.

The Affair was excellent last night. i can't wait to see what happens in the next 2 episodes.

day 2 of the WWE UK Championship tournament was fucking great. each match was better than the last one. i was absolutely thrilled with the storytelling and the commentary. the final match between Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate was a classic. and to think that Tyler Bate is only 19 years old. he is definitely the future of the business. hopefully they shoot him to the moon now that they have him as champion.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Young Pope. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening. i might sneak in a little college basketball as well.

so i go back to the doctor in 3 months. hopefully the pill he puts me on works. i know the next time i have to give some more blood samples. fun fun fun. thanks again to my mother for the gift of Type 2 diabetes.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. i know mine could have been so much better.

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...
