when Manchester United was up 2-0 at halftime yesterday, i felt pretty confident. when they were down 4-2 in extra time against Lyon (playing with 10 men), i felt horrible. then, Casemiro got fouled in the box. Bruno scored the penalty kick. then, Casemiro and Bruno made a great little passing play to Kobbie Mainoo to make it 4-4. one minute after that, Casemiro made the perfect pass to Harry Maguire to head in the winner. 3 goals in 7 minutes. holy shit. one of the craziest games i can remember. first European game to have 5 goals scored in extra time. United won 5-4 and 7-6 on aggregate. they advance to the semifinals of the Europa League.
a delightful trip into the dark mind of an evil genius or simply the musings of an asshole

one of the craziest games i have ever seen...

history was made...
i did watch Alex Ovechkin break Wayne Gretzky's goal scoring record yesterday when he scored his 895th goal. to me, the best part of the game was that the Capitals lost, 4-1.

hello anger, i remember you...
so, i just got off the phone with someone at Humana. my Medicaid cards didn't show up again today. the lady told me they were mailed out on the 24th. i said when i called last week, i was told they were mailed out on the 21st. she tells me they were requested on the 21st, but mailed out on the 24th. give it a little more time. i wanted to fucking scream. so yeah, i have an appointment later today to get my blood work done. i won't be fasting like the doctor wanted. they'll get over it. i have to check in online for my doctor's appointment tomorrow. i was hoping to have my new insurance for that. and i have pills i need to pick up. fuck me.
the Yankees won yesterday, 12-3, to sweep the Brewers. they are off today and start a series tomorrow at home against Arizona.

i think 13 out of 16 is good...
i got 13 out of 16 of the sweet sixteen correct, so i am pretty happy about that.

hurry up and wait...
so, i had to go to the bank today and to Kroger to get my pills. the bank took forever. i think they had one woman working the inside and drive-thru. so, by the time i left there and got to Kroger, the pharmacy was on their lunch break. so, i decided i might as well try to remember what was on the grocery list and get it done while they were on break. i got everything i could remember (it was all but 2 items that i forgot) and then got it line at the pharmacy. checkout for the groceries was very interesting. the register wasn't taking off the right amounts on certain things. i will give the lady running it credit, she was on it. thankfully, what i got cost less than $100, and that includes my pills.
the New York Rangers won last night at home against Nashville, 4-0. they play tonight at home against the Islanders. the Rangers are 2 points out of a playoff spot.

goodbye to 2024...
so, in some ways, 2024 was the year my writing finally hit the next level. the book i did with Casey Renee Kiser, Altered States of The Unflinching Souls, is something i am really proud of. you can still get a copy by going here:

i was nominated for a Best of the Net by Disturbing the Universe Magazine. and, for the first time in my life, i was nominated for the Pushcart Prize by The Rye Whiskey Review.
plus, John Patrick Robbins, the editor of The Rye Whiskey Review, and i are toying around with the thought of me doing a book in 2025 for his press.
add in me finally doing a few new SoundCloud tracks, and i truly hope this is a sign of things to come...

Manchester United lost 2-0 yesterday at home to Newcastle. honestly, it never felt that close. United, for the first time in my life, are in a relegation battle. hopefully, the players figure that out soon and start giving a shit again.
the New York Rangers lost last night at Florida, 5-3.

up early on a Monday...
we had storms roll through here last night. the wind was really bad. i brought the recyclables in so i wouldn't spend the morning picking them up everywhere. i took them back out at 7 this morning. i found it a little interesting that no one else had and still hasn't put anything back out. part of me wonders if the fuckers picked up the shit during the storm last night or people just decided fuck it, wait until Thursday.
the New Orleans Saints lost at home yesterday to the Raiders, 25-10. i'm really hoping the Saints just blow everything up after this season and start over.

a rainy Sunday...
well, i was hoping to have this blog done before the Manchester derby started today. obviously, that didn't happen. United is losing right now, 1-0.
it has been raining since last night. i'm guessing the pain finally got to me and i didn't as much sleep as i simply passed out from it. good times.
the Dayton Flyers won last night at home against #6 Marquette, 71-63. considering they were down 13 more than once in the game, i was really happy Dayton found a way to win.
Tuesday, December 3, 2024
well, i got some more sleep...
i at least got a couple more hours of sleep than i did the night before, but shit... i'm not sure if it is the winter or time is finally catching up with me, but i am fucking dragging.
the New York Rangers had their asses handed to them last night, losing at home to the Devils, 5-1.

i actually caught up on some sleep today. that wasn't what i had originally thought i was going to do, but apparently my body had different plans.
the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at home against Atlanta, 20-17. that ended their 7 game losing streak.

this is a day that has me torn...
as most of you know, i had a horrible relationship with my father. So, father's day hasn't really meant anything to me since my stepfather, the first male to ever treat me with any fucking respect, died. but, today also happens to be my mother's birthday. i was hoping that thought would be the prevalent one today. but, as usual with this fucking family, mom is depressed and woe is me ever since last night. so, the breakfast i wanted to make her she doesn't want. yeah, going to be one of those days i guess. the joy of being a poet. ultimately, it is all fucking content.
that being said, i do hope she likes the gifts i got her.
WWE Clash at the Castle yesterday was excellent.
