getting used to the pain...

be it arthritis. be it a "woman" trying to scam money from me online. be it what i am now believing to be diabetic nerve pain. be it just fucking life in general. i have gotten so fucking used to being in pain, that i hardly care to even recognize it anymore. it looks like it's not supposed to rain for a few days. that should help, hopefully.

the New York Rangers won last night at Calgary 3-1. The King had 50 saves for the second consecutive game. he's the first Rangers goalie to do that since 1963. and he is the first goalie in NHL history to do that and get victories in both games. i never thought the Rangers would make those trades and go on a winning streak. they play tonight in Edmonton. if they somehow win tonight, i think they will just be a few games out of the playoffs. now, the last thing they want for their rebuild is to make the damn playoffs, but it is encouraging to see that the team hasn't accepted losing as their culture.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

the season finale of Treehouse Masters was really good last night. the first hour was a look at some treehouses in France. the second hour was the speakeasy treehouse they built for Shaq.

NJPW was really good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was excellent last night.

High Maintenance was great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live and ROH.

i will be going alone to the Dayton Flyers game today. mom wanted to go but she's not feeling up to it. the game is on television, so she can always watch it if she wants to. Dayton plays George Washington today. it's Senior Day for the Flyers. last home game for Darrell Davis and Joey Gruden. that should mean the coach of the Washington Redskins will be at the game today. i hope Dayton wins as i have already seen them lose enough this season.

i believe my sister is coming down tonight. i'm not exactly sure why. i figure she's just visiting.

i'll be on here tomorrow, probably in the afternoon.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

insomnia is taking over these days...

for the second or maybe 500th straight night, i found myself swimming down the drain of various rabbit holes on the internet around 3 in the morning. exhaustion doesn't work anymore. alcohol doesn't put me to sleep anymore. i figure if i start mixing pills i'm going to end up like Heath Ledger without the money. what i would give for something like 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep...

Vice News Tonight was very interesting last night. it showed what it is like for a family traveling in China for the Chinese New Year. very, very interesting.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty funny last night.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny as well last night.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Calgary. i'll probably check that out during commercials. i'm not expecting them to win tonight.

i did see the New York Yankees win on a walk off home run from Tyler Austin this afternoon. hopefully they are getting into the good habit of winning early this season. the dog days of the baseball season will be here before you know it.

i went to the bank before i went to the grocery store today. the guy in front of me at the back was a skinnier version of me. although, i think my goatee looks much better than his beard, his tattoos were much more elaborate than mine. and i am way too old now to be wearing shorts when it's 40 degrees out.

the grocery store went pretty well. i laugh at the number of women that seem scared of me when i turn down an aisle. of course, i doubt my cheery disposition can make it past this fucking wall.

i'll be on here tomorrow sometime before i go to the Dayton Flyers game in the afternoon. it's the last home game of the season. i'd love to see them win on Senior Day, but i won't be holding my breath. i believe mom is going to try to go to the game. that should be interesting.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

sometimes the rain just will never end...

we got another 1.5 inches of rain last night and this morning. i basically drank myself to sleep last night and woke up 90 minutes after i went to bed. good times.

i did write 4 more poems after i finished the blog yesterday. 2 at night and 2 this morning. i typed up all 5 new ones and really think i have a few winners in this batch. that makes 45 poems for the month.

the New York Rangers lost last night to Minnesota 4-1. basically, the Rangers are an AHL team right now. they are playing the kids and it shows. i would rather take the lumps now if that means they will create a team that wins the Stanley Cup again before i die.

the Dayton Flyers were only trailing Rhode Island by 2 at halftime, 36-34. it seemed like when i wasn't watching the game last night, Dayton was playing better. so, i hoped that was going to work in the second half as well. silly me. Dayton was awful in the second half; shooting, turnovers, just fucking awful. Rhode Island won the A10 outright by defeating Dayton 81-56. now Dayton has to win the last two games of the regular season to finish the season at .500. i won't be holding my breath waiting for that to happen.

Celebrity Big Brother was pretty good last night. it was double eviction night. Brandi was the first to go. James was the second one to go. i didn't mind that, although i was hoping someone other than Omarosa was going to be the one to do it.

NJPW was excellent last night.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Treehouse Masters was really good last night. i can't wait for the season finale next week.

High Maintenance was excellent last night.

2 Dope Queens was fucking hilarious last night. i really hope HBO brings this back in the future.

on the DVR tonight will be Celebrity Big Brother, ROH and Notes From the Field.

i did watch some of the Winter Olympics last night. i still can't believe the USA won Gold in Curling. and i did see Canada win Bronze this morning in men's hockey. i believe the gold medal game in hockey is tonight. i will probably catch some of that.

i think there is some UFC on tonight as well.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Chelsea. i'm hoping i will be in a good mood.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

one of those days...

it feels like arthritis has taken a huge chunk of me today. walking around the grocery store, i felt like i was 42 going on 75. and then you realize you can't reach the shit that you used to be able to reach and no one looks like they are interested in helping someone that looks like either a criminal or a homeless fuck. good times.

i've had a poem stuck in my head for most of the day. the internet was down for a bit before i started this blog. so, i took advantage of that time and wrote it down on paper. i haven't typed it up yet as i think i have a few more up there waiting to bleed out.

the New York Rangers lost last night up in Montreal 3-1. they traded Michael Grabner last night to the Devils and are in the process of trading Rick Nash somewhere before the trade deadline on Monday. hell, i think just about every name except The King is up for a possible trade. as for the game, they simply didn't generate enough until the 3rd period to ever have a chance. if they could have played the whole game like that period, they might have won. they play again tonight at home against Minnesota.

Lip Sync Battle was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Celebrity Big Brother, NJPW, Treehouse Masters, High Maintenance and 2 Dope Queens.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at Rhode Island. Rhode Island is one win away from winning the A10 regular season outright. i'm going to just guess and think they will want to get that win tonight. and even though Dayton is on a two game winning streak, i don't give them much of a chance on making it three tonight.

i did enjoy watching team Canada lose in men's hockey this morning at the Winter Olympics. i honestly can't believe Germany is in the Gold medal game. they will play Russia for the Gold. Canada will take on Czech Republic for the Bronze.

i did watch a little of the New York Yankees this afternoon when i got home from the grocery store. they defeated Detroit 3-1 in their first spring training game of the season. hopefully that's the first victory of many this year.

i'm not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. all the rain we were supposed to get today is coming tomorrow i guess. i know i need to get my laundry done at some point this weekend. and lord knows i'll probably have to run out and get something for mom.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. hopefully the sun actually exists wherever you happen to be.

and then the rain becomes snow

it was almost dry enough this morning for me to get out in the yard and fix all the shit the rain fucked up. almost. i did that rather than watching more of the USA lose to Russia 4-0.

when i woke up this morning, Russia was already up 2-0 midway in the 2nd period. that's about what it should have been given that all of the USA's best players play in the NHL. the USA will play again on Tuesday. i think they have to win 2 straight games now to even get a chance to get a medal. i doubt that happens.

i realized the New York Rangers play this afternoon, so if i have any intention of going to see the Dayton Flyers play tonight, i better get the blog done now before Manchester United plays. and this is why i confuse most people. why the fuck would a poet give a shit about sports? good fucking question.

NJPW was excellent last night.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at home against Fordham. i'm planning on going to the game unless it starts to snow. Dayton isn't good enough this year for me to travel in the snow to see them play. i'll watch the game on television if that happens.

i will probably also watch some of the NBA All-Star Weekend shit tonight; slam dunk contest, 3 point contest, etc.

plus, there's always the Winter Olympics as well.

i hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday. if i have any boredom creep into my life this afternoon, i'll probably start to figure out where the next round of poems will be going to.

and then someone takes your breath away...

the grocery store was rather interesting today. i ran into some people i have known since i was a child. of course, it has been probably a decade or so since we last spoke. that happened about 3 minutes after i walked in the store. i was going around in my usual fog trying to get everything on the list. i had to go back to the side of the store i started off on as i had forgot something mom added to the list. i usually try to be a good guy when i'm out in public, always allow the women to go first, etc. help old black ladies out reaching shit, stuff like that. i ran into this amazing looking woman 3 different times in the store. each time we both kind of smiled and if i was a smooth motherfucker, i'm sure i would have said something funny. instead, this woman simply took my breath away. i managed to crack what i believe is a smile but what i saw from her was a casual smile that i read as get this fucking creep away from me. and here i thought cleaning up the beard and taking a shower was going to be beneficial for me.

i figure that is why i bought some cinnamon schnapps in the liquor store today. i told mom a shot of that and she'll sleep for the entire weekend. hopefully it would knock out her cold that she is still battling.

the New York Rangers ran into a goalie that owns them last night and lost to the Islanders 3-0. the Rangers had 50 shots on goal in the game. it was simply one of those nights.

i did watch team USA defeat Slovakia last night 2-1 at the Winter Olympics. that sets up a pretty big game tomorrow morning against Russia.

Vice News Tonight was very fascinating last night. the entire episode was basically people talking in different groups about the #MeToo movement.

Lip Sync Battle was fucking stupid last night.

Manchester United won this morning 2-0. it should have been more but the referee apparently was fucking blind in the first half. the goals came from Lukaku and Sanchez. i hope i'm typing that for years to come.

hopefully Dayton can win later this afternoon at UMass. i'm not counting on it though.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Treehouse Masters was very good last night.

NJPW last night was a replay of the match between Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega from Wrestle Kingdom 12.

Real Time with Bill Maher was a bit of a clusterfuck last night. of course, anytime you have a Trump sympathizer on, that's exactly what i expect.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Nashville. i don't know how much of the game i will actually watch tonight. i doubt the Rangers have much of a chance.

i believe the NFL awards are tonight as well. i'm hoping the New Orleans Saints rookies win some of the awards. they deserve them, that's for sure.

i will be on here tomorrow long before the Super Bowl comes on. i believe we're supposed to get some snow tonight. oh joy.

i did manage to sleep in my bed last night. i think i only got about 4 hours or so. so, i guess i'm back to normal.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

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.

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.

nothing like clearing snot for 20 minutes in the morning

i didn't sleep worth a shit last night. it was a battle to breathe with this damn cold and then a battle with the comforter for a good 3 or 4 hours. it didn't help that it was fucking raining as well. eventually at 6 this morning i gave up and just decided i guess i'm going to be up forever today.

and between clearing snot and watching some soccer from over in England and Germany, i think most of my morning was spent on the fucking toilet. as my grandmother would put it, get the poison out any way you have to.

hopefully i'll get some more sleep sometime today.

the final two episodes of Mosaic last night were fucking excellent. i definitely could see people binge watching this series and enjoying it. even after watching it, there's still 3 people i think could have done the murder.

NJPW last night was a rerun of two matches i had already seen from Wrestle Kingdom 12.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Treehouse Masters was very interesting last night. i never thought i'd see a damn sauna in a tree.

i did make it back from the grocery store yesterday in time to watch Manchester United play. Alexis Sanchez looked great out there with his new team. he will certainly be a welcome addition. United won 4-0 yesterday, advancing to the next round of the FA Cup.

the Dayton Flyers play today at Saint Louis. Dayton has won 7 straight games in this series. i'm hoping today will be the 8th in a row.

the NHL All Star and NFL Pro Bowl festivities are this weekend. i doubt i watch much of either.

i think a good portion of today is going to be me in pain, struggling to do my laundry while arthritis laughs in my face. good times.

i think the mixture of alcohol and some random phrases put me to sleep last night. i think i got a solid 5 hours or so. add that to a cup of coffee this morning, and i think i'm about as fresh as my ass is going to get.

those random phrases turned into a 4 page poem this morning. that's easily one of the longest ones i've written in about a decade.

i did watch most of the New York Rangers game last night. they certainly tried to piss away another lead last night. but, they held on to win 6-5 over San Jose. that ends their losing streak and sends them into the All Star break 1 point out of a playoff spot.

Mosaic was excellent last night. i can't wait to see what the final two episodes have in store tonight.

Lip Sync Battle was pretty good last night.

Manchester United plays today on the road in the FA Cup. they should win today, but i've thought that plenty of times this season and they haven't.

after that (or before if i get a wild hair up my ass) i'll be going to the grocery store. at least i got the prescriptions out of the way yesterday.

i'll probably be on here early tomorrow. i would assume long before Dayton plays on the road tomorrow afternoon.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

one way to waste an afternoon...

i warned my sister as we were driving to the basketball game, i didn't think Dayton had much of a chance today. what we witnessed in the following 2 hours fully encapsulates why this team drives me fucking nuts. Dayton got off to a good start. and then quickly fell back into its usual rut. relying way too much on the jump shot and piss fucking poor defense. Josh Cunningham had a great game but no one else on Dayton played worth a shit. even Rhode Island's coach said they were going to let Josh go crazy, the only way they thought they would lose is if Dayton hit a bunch of threes. that didn't happen, mostly because of the 21 fucking turnovers Dayton had today. Rhode Island is easily the best team in the A10. but quite frankly, that's not saying much. the whole damn conference sucks. Dayton lost to Rhode Island 88-74. Dayton plays again at home on Tuesday against Davidson. i haven't decided if i'm going or not yet.

the New York Rangers lost to Colorado today 3-1. i caught some of the game after i got home from the basketball game. it's not exactly how i wanted them to start this road trip.

Manchester United won 1-0 today over Burnley. i did get to see the goal before i left to go to the basketball game. Martial scored a beauty. and now it looks like Alexis Sanchez will be a Manchester United player before too long. that should make things interesting.

great time for the power to go out...

so i was in the shower early this afternoon. i had everything ready to go to the post office and the grocery store. and just as i started to shampoo my hair, the fucking power goes out. now, if i still lived on the farm, i would truly be fucked, as the water would have shut off as well. thankfully, here in suburbia, i could at least finish showering, albeit in the damn dark.

the power was out for 30 minutes. i have no fucking clue why it was out. i'm just happy it wasn't out for a long time.

some poetry news first... i heard back from The Homestead Review on my poetry submission from back in October. while they enjoyed my work, they decided to pass on the poems. well, at least i know i have 5 poems ready to go in February.

i sent out 25 poems today; 3 each to Pyrokinection, Rusty Truck and Mad Swirl; 5 each to Nerve Cowboy and Easy Street; and 6 poems to The Stray Branch. when i hear back from these places i'll pass along the verdicts.

the New York Rangers won last night over Buffalo 4-3. Rick Nash scored 2 more goals. that was the first time in 4 seasons he's had back to back multi goal games. of course, they lost Kevin Shattenkirk to a knee injury last night. great. more injuries right before a road trip. lovely. i believe they play at Colorado on Saturday.

my sister is planning on coming down here in the morning. so, i will probably end up doing a blog sometime in the late afternoon/early evening, if i do one at all. i suppose that's the good thing about having your birthday on a weekend. the whole damn weekend can become a party if you want. if the New Orleans Saints would be playing on Sunday, it truly would be.

i do plan on watching a little of Manchester United tomorrow morning.

and then hopefully the Dayton Flyers won't get the shit beat out of them by Rhode Island tomorrow.

i think my sister and i are coming back home after the game to have lunch with mom. probably after that i will do a quick blog while hoping to have many victory drinks later in the evening.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. call if you need bail money.

as i sat down last night to watch the Dayton Flyers play, i wasn't sure what to expect. they hadn't won 2 games in a row all season. they were playing a VCU team that always plays them tough. etc. etc. Dayton got off to an amazing start last night and just didn't stop. they more or less scored at will. they scored the most points in school history in the first half. and i think it had been 20 years since they had scored this many points in a game. that was a lovely sight on a cold night. Dayton defeated VCU 106-79.

we didn't get as much snow as anyone was expecting last night. we certainly did get plenty of wind. so we do have a nice drift in front of our front door. i haven't ventured out yet to see what else went on last night. i figure i'll get out there after i get this done.

i did hear back from Misfit Magazine yesterday. Alan kindly reminded me that i already have 2 pieces accepted for the next issue and he didn't want to hold these poems for the Spring. i completely understand that. i find it comical that i forget any success i have but remember nearly every fucking time i have been rejected in my life. needless to say, those 5 poems will be sent out somewhere else soon.

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...

well, the snow started earlier than expected...

i think it started snowing a good 2 hours before the weather assholes on television thought it was going to. i figure that will probably push us into the 6 to 8 inches of snow instead of 2 to 4. so, i think i made the right decision by not going to the basketball game tonight. now, i'm still debating if i should get the mail or just wait until tomorrow. of course, if we get 8 inches of snow, i might be waiting until Sunday. good times.

i wrote 8 poems last night. that brings my total for the month up to 11. i typed the poems up this afternoon. my printer went on strike for a portion of this afternoon. i laughed when i saw the troubleshooting step for me was to just wait. i waited a good 20 minutes and sure enough, the printer started working fine. crazy shit. i do like a few of the poems. i am planning another round of submissions around my birthday. i at least have 1 place in mind to send to for that. i'd love to get in the routine of sending to a place i have never sent to with each round of submissions, but i don't think that's going to happen.

The Big Bang Theory was really funny last night.

Young Sheldon reminded me that i never got into D&D when i was a child.

Life in Pieces was hilarious last night.

Will & Grace was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NJPW and Treehouse Masters.

the Dayton Flyers play at home tonight against VCU. i'd love to see Dayton win as that would be the first time all season they have won 2 games in a row. the game is on ESPN2 tonight.

i figure the rest of the evening will be watching it snow and probably taking a shower.

i'm going to try to be on here before the New York Rangers play tomorrow afternoon against the Islanders.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. hopefully you're somewhere nice and warm, with a drink in your hand.
