sometimes the pain gets to the point where i am simply in my massage chair hoping that it will subside for a bit so i can get some shit done. and eventually, either the ice works or my stubbornness gets to the point where i say fuck it, and i just go. the problem with that is it takes me forever to get things done. like last night, it took me forever just to do one day's worth of dishes. and then going through emails, paying some bills and next thing you know, it is 5:30 in the morning and the plumber will be here at 10. joy.
it looks everything is a go for the kitchen remodel. you have no clue how fucking happy i am going to be to actually have a fucking dishwasher again.
the New Orleans Saints played like shit yesterday and lost at Minnesota, 27-19. when you lose your QB, one of your top WR's and your top CB, it makes for a long, long game. thankfully, the bye week is now.
the New York Rangers won last night at home over Columbus in a shootout, 4-3. considering the Rangers tied the game with 11 seconds to go in the 3rd period, i'll gladly take those 2 points.
the Columbus Crew won last night at home over Atlanta, 4-2, to advance in the MLS playoffs.
the season finale of Power Book IV: Force was excellent last night.
Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT, as usual.
Shining Vale was fucking hilarious last night.
Fellow Travelers was very good last night.
The Curse was fucking great last night.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:

so, i finally fell asleep last night around 4:30 in the morning. i swear i heard something fall in my mother's room at 5:30 AM. i went in there and she was in bed snoring and i didn't see anything that looked out of place. i went and took a piss and just shook my head. i'm going insane. joy.
the rain stopped yesterday by the time i took mom to her physical therapy appointment. i wrote 4 poems while i was in the waiting room. i typed those up last night and really like them.
i did make it to Menards yesterday. i found just about everything that was on the list. and i almost kept it under $100.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.
AEW Rampage was good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was very good last night.

i always love walking outside and it feels like you just stepped into a bowl of soup. the rain we were supposed to get today hasn't happened yet. joy.
so, i didn't watch much of the Yankees game yesterday. i really don't feel like watching them when they are playing like shit. they lost to a A's team that probably couldn't beat a wet paper bag on most nights, 4-1. they start a series tonight in Anaheim against the Angels. the lead in the division is down to 7 1/2 games.
i did watch some of the MLS games yesterday:
Big Brother was good last night.
VICE was excellent last night.
The Chi was really good last night. the season finale is next week.
City on a Hill was great last night.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan was good last night.

AEW Dynamite was pretty good last night.
Big Brother was good last night. i'm pretty sure Jasmine and Joseph will be sent to the jury tonight.
both episodes of Welcome to Wrexham were very good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother, NJPW and two episodes of Little Demon. i did watch NXT UK this afternoon on Peacock. it was really good.
the Yankees play at Oakland tonight. these are games they need to WIN and get the offense going again.
i should be on here tomorrow after a trip to Menards. of course, if i get up early enough and feel good, i could do the blog before i go.
like everything these days, it all depends on my pain tolerance.
i guess i need to figure out dinner tonight.

the New York Rangers lost last night to Calgary, 5-1. one of those nights where you just shake your head and say fuck it. you can't win them all.
thankfully, the New Orleans Saints won last night in Seattle, 13-10.
The Voice was really good last night.
Monday Night Raw was good last night.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get home from doing the grocery shopping.

i did listen to episode 325 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can listen to that by going here:
i did go to the pharmacy today to get my pills. nearly got hit by some fucker not paying attention on the way there and on the way home. good times.
i did get my baseball cards i ordered from Repacked Wax today. i loved the 1965 Topps card that was in it. i guess the best cards i got were the Larry Walker rookie card and the Craig Biggio rookie card. now, i need to get my ass in gear and start getting pictures up of the cards i want to sell here soon.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the poems sent out.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
thanks to everyone for checking out my latest published poems.
i just watched Manchester United lose to Bristol City. i'm about 50 different shades of fucking pissed at the moment.
amazingly, the Dayton Flyers were leading at halftime last night at Saint Mary's, 31-29. i then told my mother that one coach will make adjustments and one coach won't. you can take a fucking guess who is who. sure enough, Dayton started the second half cold as hell. and once it got back within reach with about 7 minutes left in the game. Saint Mary's went on a 14-0 run. it's really hard to fucking win on the road when your lone senior misses all 11 shots he takes in the game. this is going to be the season that i will realize i should have applied for the fucking job when Archie Miller left. Dayton lost 69-54. honestly, most of the second half didn't feel that close.
thankfully, the New York Rangers got a great effort from The King last night and defeated Anaheim 4-1. that's 3 wins in a row now. i do believe they have righted the ship after the horrific start to this season.
The Voice was really fucking good last night. it's easy to see why the show is so fucking expensive to make. i am happy with who won, as i predicted it a few weeks ago.
Smackdown was pretty good last night.
205 Live was pretty good as well last night.
Drop the Mic was pretty damn funny last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Total Divas. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i'm either going to go to the grocery store after i get this done or sometime tomorrow. depends how much i would like to be in public while fucking pissed.
that's all for me kids.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
we had a hard freeze last night. i guess winter has decided to set back in for the end of 2014 here. i put out a little extra bird food for the amazing number of birds that actually stay here in the winter. if they only knew i feed them so the cats will have a chance to kill them... speaking of the cats, they seem to be enjoying the limited amount of sunshine we're getting these days. even the young ones lay out in the yard when the sun is out. it almost made it to 30 degrees today. thankfully, no snow.
i completely forgot when i was writing my blog post for yesterday that i have a basketball game to go to tonight. the Dayton Flyers take on Ole Miss in their final non-conference game of the season. this should be another tough, interesting affair. hopefully i'm enjoying a victory beer later tonight.
the New York Rangers win streak came to an end last night. they lost in Dallas 3-2. oh well, shit happens. they play again on New Year's Eve in Florida. i'll be watching that game after i watch the USA take on Canada in the 2015 World Juniors.
i thought Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i really enjoyed the evil Seth Rollins. hopefully that's a side of him that comes out more often.
but the best part of the night to me was Daniel Bryan. the way he strung the crowd along and had them and every viewer at home in the palm of his hands.
that certainly put a smile on my face. and it almost made me want to see the Royal Rumble next month. almost.
if you're wondering about the title of this blog, i had some corn for dinner last night. so, think about corn and then think about shit in a toilet. my digestive system is working.
i'm guessing it's going to be another late dinner at Waffle House tonight after the game. the game is being televised nationally on the CBS Sports Network.
mom went into work today. she kind of had to as the phones here are fucking horrible. and the really funny part is the internet goes out whenever the phone rings or is picked up to check for messages or make a call. once again, thank you to Frontier Communications for being the worst fucking company i have EVER used in my life. thankfully, once we move to the new house, i'll hopefully NEVER have to deal with these fuckers again.
mom said she was going to be back home around 2 pm. i laughed as i figured that wasn't going to happen. sure enough, it's a 4:45 pm as i'm writing this and she isn't home yet.
i cleaned the toilets today. that was certainly fun as my back stiffened up each time i had to stoop down to scrub something clean. good times.
i did manage to get a few songs downloaded on iTunes today, even with the shitty internet. you'll see those songs below in the music section.
that's all for me today. i'll be on here early tomorrow as the USA vs. Canada game starts at 4 pm. i certainly want to get everything done before that starts.
hope everyone is having a great day. if not, go open that bottle of scotch you've been hiding from your alcoholic kids and go enjoy it. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your time.

when i woke up this morning, the clock read 4:18 am. i took my glasses back off and said fuck that. i didn't have to be up until 6 am. you guessed it, i woke back up at 7:30 am. needless to say, i wasn't pleased. i quickly flipped over to what i was getting up at 6 to see and got even more pissed.
team USA lost to Russia today 5-3 at the World Juniors. i only got to watch the 3rd period. once again the inability of team USA to stay out of the box was just mind blowing. but, i also have to give Russia credit for making them pay for their mistakes. i'll still watch the tournament but i doubt i'll make sure to be up to watch it live. the ouch part of all this was the player from Russia that really stood out today was a draft pick by the New York Rangers. hopefully he has that same kind of fire and skill when he's wearing a blue jersey.
so after that wonderful start to my day i started to pay attention to the weather. the snow kept steady but the winds kept getting worse and worse. the guy who farms out here plowed the lane. hopefully it will still be passable once the wind and drifting stops. like a dumb ass, i shoveled the sidewalks and put some ice melter out hoping it would make a difference. thankfully, my back felt much better today. i felt it a few times while i was shoveling, but it never felt like it was going to seize up and give out. of course, there is plenty of winter left for that to happen.
so after all that joy, i decided to send out some poems today. might as well do something in 2014 to get my mind off of shit. i sent out 11 poems today, 3 each to The Camel Saloon and Dead Snakes, and 5 to The Blind Vigil Revue. a big thanks to Russell at The Camel Saloon for the heads up about Blind Vigil. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the news here on the blog and all the other sites i whore myself out to.
i made the mistake of looking at the temps for the weekend and early next week. when i saw that one day the high temp is going to be -2, i just laughed. mom wants to bring the cats in and i told her no. we will get to see which ones really want to live now. hopefully the power doesn't go out and the propane is still full. i've got a feeling every damn heater we have in this house will be running.
i'm looking forward to The Big Bang Theory tonight. it's a new episode. other than that, i'll be watching some college sports. probably some NHL games as well.
spent most of last night flipping between college football and Aerial America on the Smithsonian Channel. don't ask. my brain is able to make sense of why i do the shit i do and that's all that matters.
hopefully i'll be able to get out to the post office tomorrow. and maybe tomorrow we'll get a paper as well. thankfully i didn't make the trip down the lane to check. the guy who farms out here was kind enough to do that.
alright, enough of my rambling. i'll be on here tomorrow with more stories about prepping for the great freeze of 2014. be well. peace and chicken grease...

i figure that should give my white blood cells a workout. i was busying typing up the 3 poems i wrote today and wouldn't have even noticed the little fucker in my mouth if it wouldn't have started moving. that's when i swallowed as i was too busy to be distracted. i suppose there will be a poem about this before too long.
as for the 3 poems i wrote, i really like 2 of them. so, i know damn well the one i don't like as much will be the first one accepted and/or published. that's just how it goes sometimes. i do know where i am sending out the 13 poems tomorrow. full details after they have been sent.
the internet was actually working the way it's supposed to this morning. and of course, here come the fuckers from Frontier Communications to change the modem out. so, i have to get offline, not like i was busy doing anything (listening to a podcast and emailing some folks at the same time) so these fuckers can realize, there's nothing wrong with the modem. talk about a company refusing to believe THEY are the ones fucking shit up. they also lied to my mother about the discount she was going to receive each month for the rest of the year. good thing my mother writes all this shit down. can't wait to see the letters to the company president and who the fuck else will get blasted. so once again, if you have the choice between Frontier Communications and eating a bowl of steaming shit, take the shit.
another game, another Yankees loss. that's probably more time than i should spend on them. though i think they had a closed door meeting after the loss last night. if they lose again tonight, i really hope heads start to fucking roll.
i did enjoy Hard Knocks last night on HBO. though i do hate when an episode ends with a kid getting a season ending injury.
i have decided i'm only doing 2 fantasy football teams this year. i figure with the internet being a piece of shit and not knowing when we might be moving, i would take a step back. of course, i still expect to win with both teams.
i didn't see my cat Whitey this afternoon when i went out to feed them. it's a rare enough occurrence that i actually noticed it. it will be very interesting to see if she's around come tomorrow. she's the ring leader of all of them out here.
tonight will be what's becoming my normal Wednesday night viewing, Big Brother, Duck Dynasty, and The Bridge. and for torture, i'll flip to the Yankees during commercials.
that's all for today. take it easy and if it's easy, take it again.

i'm not sure if there is a fresher form of hell than feeling like shit when it starts getting hot outside. pure fucking misery. not exactly sure what's going on with my stomach/body, but i imagine if it keeps up for a few more days, my stubborn ass will call a doctor. i guess.
the Yankees forgot to have their offense show up last night. on top of that the bullpen had a rare shitty night. that all adds up to a 2-1 loss to the lowly Mets. fucking irritating as hell. the Mets have their young phenom going tonight. i'm not sure what to expect. the Yankees could make him look mortal or just lay down in the fetal position like last night again. i'm not looking forward to it.
i did manage a few views of The Voice last night. i have no clue who is going home this evening. honestly, it's a popularity contest from now on. the talent is pretty much even.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good. i'm very pleased that the young talent is getting pushed and brought up. The Wyatt Family will make for interesting television if creative stays out of the way. i downloaded the WWE app on my mother's tablet last night (i'm sure she's going to love that). it made for an interesting experience, especially given my shitty internet.
looks like the Western Conference in the NHL is coming down to two game sevens. game 7 in the playoffs become must see TV. tonight is the Kings vs. Sharks and tomorrow is Red Wings vs. Blackhawks. should make for 2 great games seeing that both teams HATE each other.
i'll try to squeeze a little playoff basketball in this evening. hopefully, Miami is blowing them out again so i won't have to bother.
i will be paying plenty of attention to Deadliest Catch tonight. judging from the previews, my thoughts on this being one of the best shows on television will only get stronger tonight.
did a little shopping on amazon.com today. got my usual strange ass hodgepodge of music. a little blues, a little techno, a little metal, and a little alternative. hopefully enough of a mix to get the creative juices flowing at a much brisker pace.
that's pretty much it for today. i would say i hope i feel better tomorrow, but i stopped believing in miracles long before now.

so i raced home from the post office because i got a video idea racing my head. it was just starting to rain and i have a poem called "what is rain" in my NEW book, Sofisticated White Trash. so i quickly shot it, posted it, but for some fucking reason i can't post it here on my blog. so, if you go to my YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/user/jjthepoet1) or if you go to my Google+ page, you can find the video there.
i believe my sister is coming down for the Mother's Day weekend. hopefully my sports teams are winning so i don't play the role of asshole as usual.
the Yankees had a rainy 3-1 win yesterday to take the series in Colorado. and holy shit, they are now tied for first place in the AL East. not bad for a team of replacements. they start a series tonight in Kansas City. hopefully the shitty weather doesn't follow them there.
not sure how much of the baseball game i'll watch tonight as the New York Rangers play a fucking HUGE game 5 tonight. the winner tonight basically controls the series. let me just say that i have the vocal chords warmed up and i will be probably pacing or rocking the chair violently at some point.
i did catch a live concert last night of the Zac Brown Band performing at Red Rocks. it ended right before the storms knocked out the satellite feed. i tuned in about 20 minutes late, which i'll try to find online i guess. the concert was awesome. any time i see a country band do songs from Metallica and Led Zeppelin, my ears are definitely interested. and if you can find the encore of them doing songs in glow in the dark skeleton costumes, i highly recommend it.
i'm hearing from more people who have received copies of my book. glad to see the postal service can still do something right. i've lined up a couple of reviews as well. if you'd like to do a review for the book, please email me and we can exchange some info.
i would like to write a few poems this weekend if i find the time. 5 days in a row of rain have got some thoughts floating in my head that eventually will need to find a home.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. i hope any mom that happens to be reading this has a really great weekend.

this blog post of really nothing is brought to you by www.riotcast.com. a totally enjoyable way to piss away an afternoon when you're doing anything you can to avoid hearing absolutely fucking anything about the New York Yankees.
as you might be able to tell, i have no confidence in the Yankees at the moment. NONE. Sweaty Freddy takes the hill tonight and i figure by the third inning i'll be contemplating shitting my guts out for fun.
nearly completely forgot i had some new poems up at Underground Voices. i actually remembered when i was driving to the post office. if i ever figure out why my brain works the way it does, i could be scary one day.
as for the post office...i'm not sure this town knows how thankful they should be at how patient i am with the elderly. blocking parking spots while waiting for another one to open up, not understanding how a copier works, not understanding how the money goes in. and all i'm trying to do is get the fucking mail without ending up in jail. FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do they understand how hard they make this some days?
the sun came out today. the rain moved away but forgot to take the humidity with it. fuck me runnin' it's sticky as hell outside. the constant feeling that you haven't wiped your ass good enough....
and with that visual... hopefully i'll have better news to share tomorrow. but don't count on it.

woke up early this morning to watch Manchester United play. i could have just stayed in bed actually. same shit from last season. piss poor defending on set plays that lead to countless goals last year seems to still be around for the start of this year. fucking frustrating. but the joy of being a fan, no matter the name on the back of that jersey, the belief stays the same. a goal always comes late, no matter what. and sure enough, in the 92nd minute, Bebe scores. never gets old if you ask me. really enjoyed watching Kagawa and Powell play. they should be welcome additions to the squad.
made a trip east to Half Price Books to sell off some books from my mother's other house. made a little scratch. and then, with the help of my fantasy football knowledge, finally cashed in a free large pizza for lunch out there. first time i had been to Milano's in years. very good.
i'm tempted to skip watching the Yankees play tonight and go see The Dark Knight Rises and Ted at the drive-in in town. not sure if i will or not. going to a theater by yourself is one thing, a drive-in is another. plus, i really have no clue if my truck is up for that or not.
so yeah, here's hoping the Yankees stop the losing streak tonight.
some great drama on Big Brother yesterday. i'm really hoping they show Willie going ape-shit on the house on this sunday's episode. good fun.

I've got dishes to do but I've decided to wait until the sun goes down. probably right around the 3rd or 4th home run Phil Hughes gives up tonight.
other than the heat and people dying in car accidents, not much going on around here.
thankfully, my shipment from Amazon.com came in a day early.

so i should be happy with the Yankees sweeping the Indians but hard to smile when CC and Andy both go on the disabled list on the same day. i guess we'll see just how deep the pool is for the time being. god willing Adam Warren will take this chance and make the most of it. my best hope though is the home runs keep coming.
how in the fuck does CR7 not take a pk for Portugal today. mind blowing right there. a snooze of a game. reinforces my belief that whoever wins between Italy and Germany will win the whole damn thing. if i was a betting man, my money is going on Germany.
supposed to get up to 100 or damn near for the next 4 days or so. that should do wonders for the crops. hopefully the a/c doesn't decide to give up in this heat. and with it being so dry and the 4th of July coming up... shouldn't be long before some dumbass burns a field down with a sparkler.
