before i get to the Ohio State ass whipping last night, a little poetry news.
i sent out 29 poems today. 3 each to Yellow Mama, Terror House Magazine and The Beatnik Cowboy; 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Synchronized Chaos (already accepted for publication), The Ramingo's Porch and Misfit Magazine. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdict.
so, when Ohio State had to settle for a field goal last night in the second quarter, i feared the worst. it was painfully obvious that even if the defense was at full strength, they couldn't keep the speed of Alabama from killing them. and sure enough, i turned the damn game off before halftime. i might have watched 3 or 4 minutes of the second half. and i have watched enough football in my life to know that Alabama was good enough that there would be no what ifs... even allowed in the game. now, it sucked that Ohio State lost their running back on the first play of the game. but, i did like what Ryan Day told his team. no one is going to feel sorry for you. there's a coach that keeps it real all the time. so, hats off to Alabama for winning the national championship. they earned it and they deserve it. Alabama won 52-24.
Monday Night Raw was a little crazy last night. Drew McIntyre tested positive for Covid, so that made everything even crazier than usual. now, i did enjoy the end of the show, which was even more fucking nuts. but, when you have Alexa Bliss shooting fire and blinding Randy Orton... i'm in.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight.
i did watch the Manchester United game this afternoon at Burnley. if United got anything out of the game, they would go top of the league for the first time after the new year in 8 fucking years. thanks to a brilliant strike from Paul Pogba, United won 1-0. they are now 3 points ahead of Liverpool, who they happen to play this weekend. that alcohol is going to taste so damn good tonight.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
i have trash to pick up here and next door, so that's all for me kids.
until tomorrow...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.
fuck donald trump.
black lives matter.
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands.
wear your mask.
que empiecen los buenos tiempos
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...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so i finally got my ankle to crack last night (think of like cracking a knuckle on your hand), only to have the pressure build right back up. not fun. it was supposed to rain today. so far, nothing. great.
the New York Yankees did something they haven't done all season last night, actually sweep a 3 game series. a 2-0 victory over the Blue Jays was exactly what they needed. they are now just 2.5 out of the wild card and amazingly, just 4 out of the division. they start a 4 game series with Tampa tonight at home. they need to keep winning.
NXT was pretty good last night. i'll never get tired of watching Nakamura wrestle. and oh, what my mind imagines when Ember Moon wrestles.
the CWC last night was excellent. the final 4 is now set for the live finale next week. Gran Metalik vs. Zack Sabre Jr. and TJ Perkins vs. Kota Ibushi. should be amazing.
Lucha Underground was great last night. i love how the show mixes in the vignettes with the wrestling. season 3 should be as good as the first 2 seasons were.
the season finale of Tyrant last night had a little bit of everything. i knew the son was going to get shot, but i didn't expect the cliffhanger. and, i suppose, there has to be a season 4 given that the war never actually started in the finale. but, i also expected another season of The Bridge and that never happened, so i don't know.
Big Brother was pretty funny last night. i was stunned that Corey won the POV so quickly. my best guess is that Natalie gets evicted tonight, much to the heartbreak of the producers and most of America.
Any Given Wednesday last night was basically the primer for the NFL season starting tonight.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Better Things and Impact Wrestling. i guess they are doing another crazy Hardy Boys match, so i'm only recording it for that.
the NFL season does start tonight with Denver hosting Carolina, a rematch of the last Super Bowl. i don't have any players from those teams on my fantasy teams, so i probably won't watch much of the game.
i did write 4 poems today to go with the 1 i wrote yesterday. i typed all 5 up this afternoon and really liked them. i should be doing another round of submissions in about a week or so.
the propane tank is full. the ice has been cleared off the sidewalks. the cats and birds have been fed and forgotten about. i'm effectively blocking the pain in my arm and back with adrenaline and hope. tonight's the night. i know there are only so many times in my life i get to watch the team i have rooted for since my birth to have the chance to go win a championship. to have it be the first one decided in a playoff, which makes it a "true" championship... priceless. there's also the little vow of mine if one of my teams wins a championship, this goatee i've been growing since the last championship will come off. the caveat of course is i will NEVER shave again. so, tonight has many, many consequences. here's the hype video Ohio State put out for the game. needless to say, i'm ready to run through a fucking wall:
hopefully tonight goes much better than yesterday did. Manchester United controlled just about all 90 minutes. they forgot to just keep it simple stupid and score. so, of course, they lost to a team they shouldn't have. they are still in the top 4, barely. i was beyond pissed for most of the rest of the day.
i did get to watch the episode of ROH i slept through. a great episode to start off 2015.
the NFL playoff games were good. i split on picking the games. i'm now 6-2 in the playoffs.
i watched a little bit of The Golden Globes. i did laugh at some of it. i did love Jeremy Renner's line about J-Lo.
the Sunday night shows were pretty good. Girls had a great ass eating scene and not much else. Togetherness i really liked. i think that show will be really good. Shameless was great, as usual. loved the nudity and flirting. House of Lies was good if you remembered last season. Episodes was pretty good. Total Divas was more mindless shit, though i wouldn't mind seeing the uncensored version of it.
other than the game tonight, i might check out Monday Night Raw and the Men in Blazers if the game is going bad for Ohio State. i know "Macho Man" Randy Savage is supposed to be announced for the WWE Hall of Fame tonight. hopefully they do that before the game starts. he's one of my favorites of all-time.
i had a horrible time falling asleep last night. between my bad back and this shitty weather, i might have got 3 hours at best. if Ohio State wins tonight, i doubt i will get that much.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. it will be sometime before the New York Rangers game, i do know that.
i hope everyone had a great weekend. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.
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...
