insert something witty here...

 as you can see, i have no fucking title for the blog today, so the smart ass that resides in my brain won out. i have spent most of today in pain. fun times.

on to better news, the Dayton Flyers defeated Belmont yesterday, 63-61, to win that tournament down in Orlando. it's the first one they have won in a decade i believe. i really hope this is the galvanizing point of the season where they take off from here and be great. one thing that is really obvious, they are a much better team when Malachi Smith is on the floor. the offense flows so much better when he's running the show. he won the MVP of the tournament.

i did watch some of the NFL games yesterday. i watched some of both MLS games yesterday as well. and i got all of my laundry done.

Succession was great last night.

Insecure was very good last night.

Curb Your Enthusiasm was hilarious last night.

VICE was excellent last night.

Dexter: New Blood was fucking great last night.

Yellowjackets was good and creepy last night.

Power Book II: Ghost was very good last night.

Hightown was good last night.

Manchester United got a 1-1 draw yesterday against Chelsea. they finally announced the new interim coach. hopefully, he can get his visa shit done before they play Arsenal on Thursday.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Monday Night Raw and That's My Jam.

i have a list of poems i want to record for SoundCloud. my goal is to get all of that done and out before Christmas. and i need to get all my Christmas cards out here soon.

i am going to try to be on here tomorrow in the morning. mom has physical therapy in the afternoon and i have no clue how long that is going to go. so, i think the morning is my best bet.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. i hope you got some great deals if you went shopping. and i hope the latest strain of COVID isn't fucking up your plans.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the fucking shot.

a new week with old problems...

first off, let's get the poetry news out of the way. i heard back from Nerve Cowboy on my poetry submission from back in February. they decided to pass on the poems. at least they did apologize for the delay in their response.

i also wrote 3 more poems last night. i got on a wild brainstorm last night while watching Twin Peaks. more on that later. i typed up the poems this morning and really, really liked them. i'm shooting for sending out another round of submissions in the next couple of days.

Old Timer's Day yesterday was a good dose of nostalgia. and sadly, it was more entertaining than most of the Yankees game yesterday. Texas got up 7-0 before the Yankees did anything. they ended up losing 7-6. oh well. thankfully, the division sucks this year and the Yankees, losers of their last 10 out of 12, are still tied for first place. they start a series tonight in Chicago against the White Sox.

the Confederations Cup went pretty much how i thought it would yesterday. Germany defeated Cameroon 3-1 and Chile did just enough to advance in a 1-1 draw with Australia. that sets up the semifinals of Portugal vs. Chile and Germany vs. Mexico. that should be a nice preview of potential World Cup matches next year.

the season finale of Veep last night was hilarious.

the season finale of Silicon Valley was really good.

Last Week Tonight was excellent as always.

it figured that Nine Inch Nails would perform on one of the most surreal episodes of Twin Peaks EVER. thank god i could pause the television. the brainstorm on top of the mindfuck was coming at me a thousand miles per hour. i needed the break just to compose thoughts to be able to write them down for a poem.

I'm Dying Up Here was pretty funny last night.

Power was excellent last night. i can't wait to see where this season goes.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i might check out the NBA Awards tonight for shits and giggles.

i will be on here early tomorrow as mom's physical therapy appointment got moved to tomorrow afternoon.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

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

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

what a crazy day

when a day involves an assassination that makes you think of WWI and 2 other incidents in Europe that will most likely be terrorist acts, it certainly makes you wonder when WWIII is going to start. and how many in this country are going to be fucking crazy when they find out we are helping Russia fight it. i certainly imagine anyone old enough to remember Russia being the sworn enemy forever isn't going to be happy helping the former head of the KGB with a war. of course, i'm probably get way ahead of myself, i doubt many Americans actually know that Putin was once the head of the KGB.

my thoughts to everyone in Turkey, Berlin and Zurich. i would say prayers but religion is killing us all.

i did write some more poems today, of course. i typed up all 3 of them this afternoon. i really, REALLY like all 3 of them. i'll probably send them out in early 2017. i really want the rest of this year to just be a writing period.

WWE Roadblock: End of the Line was pretty good last night. i thought Sam Roberts did a great job on the pre-show. i loved that The New Day lost the tag titles to Sheamus and Cesaro. a heel Neville is exactly what the Cruiserweights need. i wasn't in love with Charlotte winning over Sasha Banks, but if that sets up Bayley winning the title down the line, i'm ok. i am happy that Kevin Owens is still the Universal Champion, although i really didn't need another Shield reunion tease with Reigns and Rollins putting Jericho and Owens through tables. all in all, not a bad way to end the shitty year of 2016.

i figured if i picked against the New Orleans Saints yesterday they would win. i was correct. Drew Brees had a monster game and the Saints beat Arizona 48-41.

the New York Rangers won in a shootout yesterday over the Devils, 3-2. the Rangers never had a lead in the game, so stealing that one is a little bit sweeter. they play again tomorrow night against Pittsburgh.

the season finale of Shameless last night was excellent. i absolutely loved it.

The Affair was excellent as well last night. Brendan Fraser was creepy as fuck once again.

the Motorhead: Clean Your Clock special last night only reminded me how much i miss Lemmy.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The Wall (Game Show). i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

adding to this crazy day, the fucking sun made an appearance. i was actually able to walk down to the street and get the paper and mail without having the fear of walking on ice for a change.

i will be making yet another fucking trip to the grocery store tomorrow. my sister comes down on Wednesday, so lord knows i have to go get shit she wants and what mom wants. sounds like another pit stop in the liquor store again.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. if not. climb the tallest tree you can find and then contemplate the joy of falling.

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...
