one of those days where every ounce of my patience was tested...

we have had over 2 inches of rain since it started a day or so ago. i'm pretty sure every joint in my body is fucking screaming at the moment. good times.

the grocery store today was a fucking zoo, both times i was there. so, i had a scroll the first time and i thought i did a pretty good job finding everything. of course, that changed once my mother saw what i bought. on top of that, they fucked up the price of her pills at the pharmacy once again. she was supposed to get these pills at 48 cents. the fucker charged me $30.49 for them. mom called up there and they thought she was fucking lying. so, i decided to get this shit taken care of now. so, back to the store and i think i waited in the line at the pharmacy for around 30 minutes. the pharmacist remembered the phone call from my mother and i got my refund, plus a gift card was waiting for me at customer service. so, i went there, stood in line again... the cashier knew i was coming but didn't know how much the gift card should be. she asked me if $15 would be okay? i said yes, mostly because i knew my fucking day was now shot. after i got the card, i went to go find the pork tenderloin mom wanted. apparently the one i got, that is really good but has actual spices on it, wasn't what she wanted. please understand i live with a woman that has to have her food be as bland as fuck to eat it. you can understand why every time i go out now, i get something spicy or just fucking different. she hasn't looked at what i got yet. if it isn't the right one, she's going to get the tough shit answer from me.

so yeah, i was hoping to already have this blog done and be in the process of wrapping Christmas gifts in the obituaries. good times.

Vice News Tonight had another great week. last night was their last show until 2019.

WWE Tribute to the Troops was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Shop and the season finale of Mike Judge Presents: Tales from the Tour Bus.

i am going to try to get all the gifts wrapped tonight. tomorrow is going to be crazy as fuck as there is a basketball game in the afternoon. that's why i will be on here in the morning tomorrow, hopefully.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. if you are doing some last minute shopping, have fun, have some patience and hopefully, get a good deal.

until tomorrow kids...

tricking the brain into not realizing it should hurt...

it started to rain last night i think. when it did, i was busy destroying my brain by doing as many things as possible at the moment. i was watching wrestling, and porn, and going through poems to send out today. i'd like to think of that as a kind of dirtbag renaissance man, especially since i was also drinking at the time. by the time i fell asleep, my body didn't know it was supposed to be in pain from the rain coming down. of course, waking up this morning and the pain was fucking horrible. this is when i wish i was like a normal person and the rain would actually help me sleep better.

so yeah, i sent out 21 poems today. 3 each to Mad Swirl and Red Eft Review; 5 each to Otoliths, Misfit Magazine and Alien Buddha Press. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

NXT was really good last night.

both episodes of NXT UK were good last night.

205 Live was very good last night.

the Dayton Flyers won last night over Western Michigan, 85-72. Dayton should have won the game by 30 or more, but they refuse to just bury shitty teams. to me, that's on the coach being unable to instill that killer instinct into the team, most likely because the coach doesn't possess it either. it was good to see Josh Cunningham make some damn free throws and Obi Toppin was a ridiculous 11 for 11 from the field last night. the man is a dunking machine.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and WWE Tribute to the Troops.

i did listen to episode 217 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:
http://notsam.com/wrestlingpodcast/2018/12/20/notsam-wrestling-217-jay-lethal

i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store. i'm hoping i won't have a fucking scroll to take with me, but i probably will. and i'll probably have to make another trip since i'm going to just go ahead and assume something will be wrong with mom's pills. joy.

i guess i should start wrapping some gifts tonight. if my arthritis isn't winning the war, that will begin tonight. if not, there's always the weekend.

goodbye for now kids...

when people start recognizing you at the liquor store

it's one of those things where i know i'm right at the edge of being either a full time alcoholic or still at the functioning alcoholic stage i'm at currently. but when the guy at liquor store says you again, i know i might have a fucking problem. but, when you need the sweet nectar of the gods, Jagermesiter, you really don't give a shit about what other people think. plus, i wanted to get something for my sister as well. given the number of people she has said is coming for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, i figured she would like something else to offer if people are drinking. god knows i will be. i don't like the holidays and i'll be around people. lovely.

i think i spent more on the pills today than the groceries. good times.

the grocery store was a bit of a fucking mess today, but i figured it would be. the weather has been decent the last few days, so everyone was out getting shit done. i even got out and filled the bird feeders today. we might have rain on Sunday, so i figured the birds would like some food.

WWE Tribute to the Troops was pretty good last night.

The Big Bang Theory was really good last night.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

Life in Pieces was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the Kings. i'd love to see the boys actually fucking win tonight. i could use a drink.

i will probably be on here early tomorrow. i've got to take mom shopping sometime tomorrow and there is a basketball game tomorrow night. so the morning is my best bet to get a blog written.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

these old bones won't make it through too many more winters

there's nothing quite like just laying in bed wanting to move but pain has told you no. i know apathy is slowly killing me, but i think arthritis is making bold strides to try to catch up. i figure all i need now is headaches and all the elements will be there for me to drink myself to oblivion. good times.

Manchester United won yesterday, 1-0 over Bournemouth. Lukaku finally found the back of the net again. hopefully that starts a hot streak for him. he and the club could certainly use it. United plays again on Sunday against West Brom.

the New York Rangers lost last night to Ottawa 3-2. the mistakes this fucking team makes on a constant basis is fucking killing me. they play again on Friday at home against the Kings.

NXT was pretty good last night. the main event certainly didn't disappoint.

Total Divas was pretty fucking funny last night. alcohol always makes for a better show.

i got a letter in the mail today that stated my doctor is going to be moving. i'm not sure where and i'm not sure if my insurance will still be good with him. lovely.

that's all for me kids. i'm not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. i think i might have a trip to the grocery store to do tomorrow. mostly to pick up pills and probably some liquor.

too cold for me to be in a good mood

when i woke up this morning, it was 2 degrees outside. it's not the cold that i hate, it's the people bitching about it, like they really are in agony over it. i worked outside for 7 years. i know what frostbite is like, i know what being so fucking cold your eyeballs are starting to freeze is like. being cold because you forgot to layer is not my problem.

i knew the foam insulation would have no chance of getting done today with how cold it is. the guy doing it called mom right before 9 AM and told her so. he did do the attic though, as that wasn't going to be foam. i guess next week is supposed to be warmer, so he's going to do the job then. i took everything off the walls last night inside the house. now, i have to do the same on the two walls of the garage he's going to do from the inside. great.

imagine being cranky and having to go to the grocery store to pick up $60 worth of prescriptions and trying to figure out which pad would be best for your mother since the one she asked for isn't on the shelf. no wonder i next went to the liquor store inside of the grocery store and got a bottle of whiskey and a bottle of spiced rum. merry fucking Christmas. i'm hoping i won't have to go back to the store for a few days at the very least now.

Lucha Underground was great last night.

NXT was pretty good last night.

Total Divas was pretty fucking funny last night.

WWE Tribute to the Troops was much better than i thought it was going to be last night.

i'm saving the Saturday Night Live Christmas special for sometime around Christmas.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Big Bang Theory, Life in Pieces and Impact Wrestling: Total Non-Stop Deletion. i'm only recording that since it's supposed to crazy as hell. plus, i haven't seen the Rock and Roll Express wrestle in probably 20 years.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. i highly recommend it. you can find it by going here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/sam-roberts-wrestling-podcast/id934576040?mt=2

i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade this afternoon. i will post the link below in the music section and i HIGHLY recommend you check it out.

i might do some writing tonight, either that or figure out where the next round of poems are going. i know i'd like to get another batch out before the end of the year.

the New York Rangers play at Dallas tonight. hopefully all the rest did The King well. he'll be back in goal tonight.

that's all for me kids. i hope everyone stays warm.

when talent overcomes shitty officiating

as some of you know firsthand, i HATE when officials get obvious calls wrong in sports. today was 2 of the worst fucking calls i have EVER seen get wrong and how the fuck the humans missed them is beyond me. now, i have some conspiracy theories, especially since Manchester United was involved.

i didn't see Paul Pogba's goal in the first half, where he was offside. it's somehow United's fault that they never called it. so when the blind asshole missed a beyond obvious handball in the box, i was furious. then, less than 2 minutes later, they took away a goal from Juan Mata that wasn't offside or even fucking close to it. i was damn near apoplectic. my thought was since Pogba scored right before the end of the first half, these stupid fucks saw at halftime their mistake and was bound to make sure they didn't help United at all in the second half, especially since Crystal Palace had tied the game at 1 by this point. enter a perfectly weighted ball from Pogba to Zlatan Ibrahimovic  and HOLY SHIT, what a goal. 88th minute. United goes on to win the game 2-1. a vital 3 points to keep pace with the front runners. i absolutely love when talent can overcome shitty officiating.

i was so happy to get The Voice winner correct last night. Sundance Head absolutely deserved to win.

Smackdown was very good last night. i can't wait for the match between Dolph Ziggler and AJ Styles.

205 Live was excellent last night. the triple threat match this weekend between TJ Perkins, Rich Swann and The Brian Kendrick should steal the show.

speaking of this weekend, congrats to my friend Sam Roberts on being able to scratch something off the bucket list as he will be a co-host on the pre-show to the ppv for the WWE this weekend.

Scream Queens was fantastic last night. i can't wait to see the season finale next week.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lucha Underground, Total Divas, Saturday Night Live Christmas Special and WWE Tribute to the Troops. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Rangers lost last night 2-1. it was another great game with Chicago. the boys had a great effort but ran into a hot goalie in the 3rd period. they play again at Dallas tomorrow, a game in which i think The King will be back in net.

there are supposed to be people show up here tomorrow to do our foam insulation. considering the windchill will be well below zero tomorrow, i'll believe it when i see it.

i know i will have to do some grocery shopping tomorrow as well.

the roads were much better than i thought they were going to be today. i got mom to her appointment early and thankfully they were able to get her in early.

i'll be on here tomorrow in the afternoon sometime i suppose. not sure if it will be before or after the grocery store.

what a difference a day makes

so, sometime around 3 in the morning, i finally got to sleep. and in my own bed for the first time in a couple of nights. i still can't sleep like i normally do, due to my right hip, but i did get a good 4 1/2 hours and my back wasn't killing me.

most likely, the sleep was from two victory beers. and two wins that were memorable and desperately needed.

the Dayton Flyers won their rivalry game with Miami last night in the final seconds. anytime we play that school, it's like a trip to the fucking dentist. thankfully, Kyle Davis made the shot that sent everyone home happy. Dayton wins 64-63. here's the highlights:

after the game, mom and i went to Waffle House. that's really the only sit down restaurant that's open in the town i live in after 9 pm.

when i got home, i turned on the highlights to the New York Rangers game. thankfully, they got the win last night in OT. my favorite troll came through once again. a very much needed 3-2 win that sends them into the Christmas break with something to feel good about. here are the highlights.

so i drank those 2 victory beers while watching Smackdown and helping mom with some Christmas decorations. the main event was between Ziggler, Ambrose and Owens. it was a great match and a great way to end the show.

so i thought was doing pretty good this morning. i had a little breakfast and was sitting in my massage chair, reading the newspaper. and then the stomach started to rumble. i mentioned something to my mother this morning that i hadn't had to use any Imodium the last few days. sure enough, there i was racing to the toilet with the shits. it never fails. anytime i start to feel good, something has to bring me back down.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will WWE Tribute to the Troops. i will be watching NXT and probably some other shows on WWE Network as well.

hockey is off for the next few days, so i more or less will be watching basketball and football or catching up on the DVR for the next couple of days.

i'm not used to it being near 60 degrees on Dec. 23rd. i wouldn't mind it if it was sunny. instead it is rainy, which makes me miserable.

i guess this will be an afternoon icing my back and lounging in the massage chair. god willing, the Imodium will do its job.

i hope everyone is ready for Christmas or whatever other holiday you are celebrating. i hope everyone has a great day.
