we had some pretty strong storms roll through here last night. thankfully, my sister had already made the drive back home and none of the shit i put up this weekend got knocked down. sadly, it's back to being fucking cold again.
the New York Rangers lost in OT last night to the fucking Penguins. they wasted 2 goals from Eric Staal in the 3-2 loss. i figure if they end up playing them in the playoffs again, it will be another string of long, long nights.
my fantasy hockey miracle never came and i got routed 8-2. i'm now in the 3rd place game. this will be my worst finish in 5 years, when i finished 6th. i'm not a happy camper.
the storms knocked out the satellite last night for a few minutes. that screwed up my DVR a little. it just meant i had to stay up later to see everything.
Vinyl was great last night. Girls was pretty funny. Togetherness was hilarious. i'm pretty pissed that they are cancelling the show after this season. Shameless was fucking brilliant and should have another holy shit season ending episode next week. Billions was really good last night.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and Gotham. i will be watching Monday Night Raw and some shit on WWE Network tonight as this is the start of WrestleMania week.
i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade yesterday. i'll post the links down in the music section.
thankfully, North Carolina won last night, so my main NCAA bracket is still alive.
that's all for me today. i hope everyone had a great weekend. i guarantee you it was better than mine, as i spent a good portion of it on the toilet. and yes, there will be poems.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
i heard back from Dai at Your One Phone Call on my recent poetry submission. my poems "the last child to make it out alive", "friday night in paris" and "living the disappointment" have been accepted for publication. the poems will appear on the site July 20th, August 24th and September 23rd.
my relationship with religion anymore doesn't exist. i think i have reached that stage in life where i've simply gone through too much shit to actually believe a higher power truly loves me. now, maybe that will change or maybe i will just get more bitter with age. i have no clue. i live each day for what it is, nothing more. the future to me at this moment is merely a concept, nothing i can wrap my arms around and embrace as something i can look forward to.
as you might imagine, i was busy writing this morning. the brain is in full flow at the moment. i wrote 3 poems this morning and typed them up as well. 2 of them are holy shit good. once i hear back from the queries i sent out this morning, i will get the next round of submissions ready.
the miracle i needed in fantasy hockey last night didn't happen. so, i'm 99% sure i will lose in the first round of the playoffs for the first time in 5 years later on tonight. good times.
with the Kansas loss last night, i only have 1 team left in my main bracket. come on North Carolina.
ROH was great last night. i really like where they are going at the moment.
the New York Rangers beat Montreal last night 5-2. hopefully they have the good mojo going at the moment as they will play against Pittsburgh tonight. that could be a little preview of the first round of the playoffs as well.

i will probably watch some of the college basketball games tonight while watching the hockey game.
we ordered a couple pizzas last night and of course got the wrong order. the place that my sister likes is too far away to go back, so we just ate it. i'm paying for all the green olives this morning. good times.
i guess my love for electronic music is now full blown with my Soundcloud account. i've really come across some interesting people in just a few days.
i might air out the house today while everyone is next door. it's supposed to be really nice.
that's all for me kids. i hope your Easter Sunday is better than your Saturday was.

i think i royally pissed off the squirrels by moving all the bird feeders. mom laughed with glee when one of them went up to the hot pepper suet and started to nibble. they HATE that shit. that certainly put a smile on my face.
it was actually nice enough this afternoon that i finally got around to putting out the Spring lawn art. if you ever see this place, it's like a house of whimsy and apathy rolled into a cul-de-sac. i'm sure the neighbors hate it. good.
NJPW was amazing last night. the match between Kyle O'Reilly and Kushida was a 30 minute instant classic. awesome, awesome, fucking awesome.
VICE last night was very good. i made mom watch it this morning. i like to think of that as doing my part by educating the elders. i absolutely hate fucking ignorance and will not tolerate anyone around me not having the basic understanding of the important shit, like all the shit they won't tell you on the evening news.
unfortunately, i did watch the USA get embarrassed by Guatemala last night, 2-0. of course, if you're going to play 6 out of the starting 11 out of position, you should fucking lose.
i believe this picture says it all:

my sister made it down here this afternoon. i figure since she's here, we'll be having her favorite pizza tonight. mom started cleaning this morning and asked me to vacuum the house. i laughed, figured we had to get the place ready for the princess.
the New York Rangers play at Montreal tonight. hopefully they fucking destroy them.
i will probably watch the Elite 8 tonight as well. i still have 3 of my final 4 teams alive in the tournament.
my back is killing me today. i believe i will be in the massage chair with some ice for the rest of today. good times.

mom and i knew it was going to be a clusterfuck going shopping on good Friday, but so be it. we were out for over 4 hours. she was beyond tired and my feet were killing me. but, we got a ton of shit we needed. after we got gas and went to lunch, we hit up Menards. we haven't been in a few weeks so i definitely needed to get some shit for the birds. i got some different feeders that will hopefully piss of the squirrels. but, they didn't have the suet i needed. so, we went to Meijer to find that. thankfully, they had some. mom found some shit she wanted to get for Easter that was on sale. that made her happy. after that, we hit the grocery store. amazingly, we must have hit at the exact right time as we were able to just about get everything we needed and be out of there in a little over 60 minutes. that included standing in line to get pills. that gave me enough time to actually get some shit done outside before the sun went down once we got back home. hopefully, the bamboo wind chimes will make enough noise to drive the neighborhood nuts. all in all, a tiring but well worth it kind of day.
WWE Smackdown was very good last night. i'm really liking how WrestleMania is shaping up this year. it should be a good one.
the season finale of Baskets had a little bit of everything in it. the ending reminded me of what i wanted to do in my teens. just hop a damn train and see where i ended up. i guess i still have time to do that.
i got 3 of the 4 college basketball games right last night. i guess that makes up for my fantasy hockey team shitting the bed. how i come back from the deficit i am in in just 3 days is beyond me. well, i guess that would stop my streak of finishing in 2nd place for the last 4 years.

my sister won't be down until tomorrow. i guess work is keeping her longer than she expected. well, at least i know what i'll be listening to her bitch about all weekend.
i got done outside just in time to see the USA U-23 squad get a 1-1 draw on the road with Colombia in Olympic qualifying. that road goal should be HUGE for the second leg down in Texas.
i will be watching the USA take on Guatemala tonight in World Cup Qualifying. hopefully they feel like getting a road win tonight.
i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i'm guessing late morning/early afternoon, but i have no clue if any "family" shit is planned for this weekend.
for those of you celebrating Good Friday and Easter and all that, enjoy. for the rest of us, i hope you get some good candy.

Lucha Underground was truly fucking amazing last night. Aztec Warfare II will probably stay on my DVR for years. it truly was an incredible hour that had holy shit moment after holy shit moment.
NXT was really good last night as well. Finn Balor vs. Rich Swann was really good. and the main event between Emma and Asuka was good as well.
the New York Rangers got some puck luck last night and caught a slumping Boston team at the right time. the Rangers won 5-2. that was a tasty victory beer after that one. the Rangers are off to the weekend where they play both days.

i think my sister is coming down tomorrow night for the weekend. hopefully i start to feel better by then.
it feels like i have been on this damn computer all day long.
i might do a little poetry work this weekend and get a few submissions ready for either late March or early April.
i also know that mom and i need to go shopping as she wants to get stuff for Easter and i am running low on birdseed. good times. at least the fucking rain should be out of here by tonight. hopefully.

i enjoyed The Voice last night. i wish Adam wouldn't have put the two guitar players against each other, but at least he kept the right one. i really can't wait to see the knockouts next week, mostly to see what crazy shit Miley Cyrus is wearing. she's really grown on me over the years, mostly for having the balls to do whatever the fuck she wants, even if it means making bad music.
i completely forgot Total Divas was on last night. i checked out the show this morning as i apparently don't have it set on my DVR anymore. the show was the hot mess it always is, but i will enjoy this shot for a long time:

my poems "if the other side even exists", "there is no other side", "hoping for something better to come along", "the cold voices" and "channel 854" have been published in The Stray Branch Spring/Summer 2016 issue.
i wrote 5 more poems while in the waiting room this afternoon. i think mom was with the doctor for almost 45 minutes or so. that brings my total for the month up to 40 poems. this is easily the most productive month for me in years. i typed them up when we got back from my uncle's house. i really like all 5 of them.
it's been windy as fuck here today so it must be time to put out the trash. it never fucking fails.
the New York Rangers played much, MUCH better last night and had a holy shit, Rick Nash sighting as they defeated Florida 4-2. the Islanders lost as well last night, so that opens up a bit of a gap. that is a good thing. the Rangers play tomorrow against Boston.
i enjoyed The Voice last night. tonight is the last night for the battle rounds.
Monday Night Raw had some very good moments last night but is just too damn long to be great anymore. Kevin Owens vs. AJ Styles was excellent. they fucked over KO and put him in a 7 man ladder match at WrestleMania. now, the match will be great, but i really wanted Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn to go one on one. thankfully, i was in a chat with some wrestling friends last night, that made the show more fun than usual.
i also watched some of Men in Blazers last night, just so i could relive the Manchester United win once again.
Gotham was fucking awesome last night. things got crazy much quicker than i expected. so i know the rest of this season is going to be great.

i woke up this morning to the news of the terror attacks in Belgium. i immediately thought about the friends i have in Europe. i'm really to the left on most things in life; all drugs should be legal, fuck your god, etc, etc. i told my mother that maybe if we actually thought about not shoving our way of life down the throat of the world for a change, maybe there wouldn't be so much violence in the world. but, what do i know? we keep people ignorant so we can control them and then get shocked when these people decide to kill. i'm not so naive that i think there actually can be a world without violence. i mean, what the fuck would i write about if stupid people didn't exist? but, i'm also enough of a dreamer to believe that if you educated people and did everything possible to eliminate poverty in the world, i do believe there would be less need to be violent. i often challenge Christians to show me the part of the New Testament where Jesus said fuck the poor. i also explain to them if you actually believe in Jesus, you should be a socialist like he was, but that is usually when their heads will start to spin. i don't ever want to wake up in a fucking utopia. your perfection is not mine. i wrote a poem today that said terrorist attacks are nothing more than programming for news channels. it's so sad to realize how true that really fucking is.
i have no clue what i have going on tomorrow. i figure i'll be on here sometime, probably enjoying some hate mail. good times.
i heard from my former lesbian lover today. she read a poem i wrote about "us" that got published. she said it was true J.J. i decided rather than ask, i took that as a good thing.
i hope everyone had a good day. i will keep Belgium in my mind tonight. i don't really believe that prayer helps in these moments. i mean, look how much the world prays every damn day and look what happens. free will. such a dangerous tool.

when i sat down to watch the Manchester derby yesterday, i feared the worst. thankfully, it turns out i had nothing to worry about. boy wonder Marcus Rashford to the rescue once again.
now United is just 1 point behind Shitty and West Ham for a place in the Champions League. just when i think they are shit, they pull me back again.
what was really funny was seeing a prick in the grocery store with a Shitty jersey on. i laughed my ass off right in front of his face. such a beautiful day.
the only thing that was nearly as good as that win was how Xavier lost to Wisconsin later that night. that helped me get all 16 games correct for the second round. thank god for round by round brackets. i only had 11 out of 16 in my main one i did before the tournament.
the grocery store was ok. way too many people for my liking, especially children. sadly, no poems.
the Sunday night shows were excellent last night. Vinyl got a little more racy, which is fine by me. Girls was pretty damn funny. Togetherness had one of the great baby shit scenes i can remember. Shameless was brilliant as always. Billions keeps getting better and better. and finally, Last Week Tonight continues to be one of the best damn things around.

i went to the bank today to deposit another check. it figures, anytime i'm there and there is a line, there's only one person working, today, fully staffed and no line.
i have to drive mom to a doctor's appointment tomorrow, so i'm not sure when i'll be on here. she's trying to figure out why she's had a headache for years now and why is none of this shit she's going through considered a disability. so, tomorrow should be a fun one.

i still am not able to see this blog post once it is published. but, i have heard from people saying that they can, so i'll keep the blog where it is for now. although, i am looking at other options.
the New York Rangers played like shit for most of the game yesterday. they are pissing away a chance for home ice for the playoffs. if they continue to play like shit, they could be kissing away the playoffs. that's how coaches get fired. they next play Monday at home against Florida.
ROH was excellent last night. i really enjoyed the main event.

i didn't sleep well last night. March Madness isn't as much fun when your team gets knocked out. i did watch some of the games late last night. if the whole tournament is going to be buzzer beaters and nail biters, this will go down as one of those all-time tournaments.
it did snow a little this morning. nothing stuck, so it was more of the snow globe effect than anything. of course, my arthritis didn't find it beautiful outside. i did notice though the ducks are back. we have two ducks that kind of hang out in the back field and the backyards of our house and my uncle's. so, i take it Spring is near.

i spent most of this morning catching up on podcasts and interviews and newspaper articles i missed while watching basketball. i really enjoyed Sam Roberts interview with Lisa Ann. i highly recommend that you listen to it:
first off today... i want to ask the 3 or 4 of you lonely souls that read this blog everyday, are you having problems accessing it? i haven't been able to see what has posted for the last 3 days and Blogger hasn't explained to me why. the page has crashed each time i have tried. has this happened to any of you? if so, please email me and let me know. i will move this blog in a heartbeat if i have to. of course, that means new business cards, etc. etc. so i really hope it isn't fucking with any of you. and now, back to your regularly scheduled programming...
the Dayton Flyers got off to a good start today. sadly, it didn't stay that way for long. they were timid against Syracuse and you are never going to win at anything EVER when you are timid. they were only down by 2 at halftime and that was where i stopped watching. i had to drive mom to her physical therapy appointment. on the way down, i listened on the radio. at various points, i had to change the channel as it was simply too painful to listen to. Dayton went forever in the second half without scoring. i believe i saw somewhere that they missed 14 dunks and layups today. considering they lost 70-51, it should be a game that haunts them for some time. the team only loses a couple of players and will have a strong senior class for next season. next season will hopefully be one to remember.
while in the waiting room today, i wrote 4 more poems. that brings my March total to 35. i typed these 4 up when we got back home. all 4 of them are great. i really like them.
Baskets last night was brilliant. i can't believe it's already time for the season finale next week.
i enjoyed WWE Smackdown last night. Dean Ambrose is turning into the modern day Dusty Rhodes. and i will never turn down the chance to watch Kevin Owens take on AJ Styles. plus, a heel Chris Jericho is the best Chris Jericho.

with Dayton now out of the tournament and Michigan State losing today, my bracket might as well be set on fucking fire.
speaking of something that should be set on fire, the New York Rangers had a 3-1 lead on the Kings last night and for some fucking reason, decided to go into turtle mode. if you have been following this blog for any length of time, you probably know what the fuck happened next. the Kings won in OT, 4-3. that loss pissed me off so fucking much i was up for the next 3 hours mumbling to myself instead of sleeping.
and here's the cherry on top of all of this, there's a chance of fucking SNOW tomorrow. just fucking perfect.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. call if you need bail money. and i know you just read that and said, i don't have his fucking number. all you have to do is ask.

i nearly got everything i wanted last night at the First Four. both games were very competitive and came down to the closing minutes. what i didn't get was a Michigan loss. that would have made the night perfect considering the first 3 rows in the section next to me were the parents of the Michigan players. we had seats in the front row of our section. i don't mind them, especially since my eyes are right at ass level of most people walking by. that gives my imagination plenty to do. what fucking sucks is most people don't watch or give a shit that you might be sitting there. a lady, or better yet, a cunt that was a Michigan fan put her high heels right into my big toe. not a fucking i'm sorry or excuse me or anything. mom could tell i was still pissed after the game. she asked why didn't i say anything. i told her because i was going to kill the bitch. i for once would like to be rewarded for my restraint for not killing everyone on this fucking planet. thankfully, the toe wasn't broken. it will probably bruise nicely.
congrats to Holy Cross for their first win in the tournament since 1953. as for Michigan, please remember you are a football school and nothing more.
after Waffle House, i got home in time to watch the New York Rangers win at Anaheim, 2-1. thank you Kevin Klein for that victory beer. they play at Los Angeles tonight.
Lucha Underground was great last night. for me, it is the perfect alternative to WWE.
NXT was really good as well. i watched that this morning. i can't wait to see Sami Zayn take on Shinsuke Nakamura on WrestleMania weekend. that should be fucking amazing.

when Manchester United scored first today, i had hopes that they could pull off the miracle. when Liverpool got a goal right before halftime, i knew that this was going to become shit from my nightmares. i'm not sure if LVG truly understands the embarrassment he should feel for getting knocked out of the Europa League by Liverpool. you know, just your biggest fucking rival, that's all. what killed me even more, when the asshole knew we needed goals, that clueless dipshit was bringing on defenders. if he had a decent bone in his body, he'd resign tonight. or better, kill himself. of course, his ego will keep him above it all, fucking asshole. to put the final nail in the coffin for this season, Manchester United next plays at Manchester City. fuck me.
so, as you might imagine, this isn't one of my favorite St. Patrick's Days. everything tends to taste like shit at the moment.
as for my brackets, i've already lost one sweet sixteen team, so it's basically like every year around this time.
i typed up the 6 poems i wrote the other day this afternoon. i think a couple of them are really good.
the Dayton Flyers play tomorrow against Syracuse. i'll probably get to watch most of the first half before i have to take mom to another physical therapy appointment. god willing, they will be winning while i'm not watching. it won't be an easy game, i know that for sure.
i'll be on here sometime in the afternoon, hopefully happier than i can believe. i really don't care how Dayton wins, it's March, survive and advance.
that's all for me today. i hope everyone had a better day than i did.

i woke up to the phone ringing this morning. it was 8:45. i believe i finally fell asleep around 3 in the morning. so, on the bright side, i did get more than 5 hours of sleep for a change.
the basketball games yesterday were not good. Florida Gulf Coast destroyed Fairleigh Dickinson 96-65. honestly, the game never felt it was even that close. in the second game, Wichita State started the second half out on fire and eventually buried Vanderbilt 70-50. the section i was sitting in was next to the Vanderbilt fans. talk about a bunch of sad rich kids by the end of the night. i think i might have smiled for the first time in weeks.
tonight could be more of the same. Southern plays Holy Cross and Tulsa plays Michigan. all i really hope for is 2 games that are a little more competitive.
after we got out of the arena, it was after midnight. we went to Waffle House and then got some gas. it was well after 1 in the morning when we got back home.
instead of going right to bed, i actually checked my emails and caught up on some shows. i had 112 emails, so it's a good thing i did.
Total Divas was its usual hot mess. The Voice was pretty good. the person i follow on Google+ made it through, so i was happy about that.
i had to take mom to another physical therapy appointment this morning. why she didn't change this from a day we had games on is beyond me. after that, i had to take her into work to get some things done. i get a feeling this is going to be my life for as long as she continues to work. well, at least i wrote 6 poems while waiting for her at the physical therapy place. i'll type those up sometime this week i suppose.

the New York Rangers start a west coast trip tonight at Anaheim. they really need to start winning some games if they want home ice in the playoffs. the west coast wouldn't be my choice to start that streak, but they don't have a choice. hopefully i will get to see the last few minutes of a win when i get home from Waffle House tonight. lord knows, i could use a victory beer.
i will probably be on here tomorrow sometime after Manchester United plays Liverpool. i will most likely be in a shitty mood, either for my tournament bracket already having some losses or United has been knocked out of the Europa League. good times.
that's all for me kids. i hope this finds everyone doing something or someone fun.
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:
the next couple of days will be a blur for me. 4 basketball games and not much sleep at the age of 40 isn't exactly the recipe for success. but i'm really hoping these First Four games this year are worth it.
tonight will be Fairleigh Dickinson vs. Florida Gulf Coast and after that it will be Vanderbilt vs. Wichita State. that nightcap could be an instant classic, especially if they are making shots. it looks like both nights are going to be sell outs.
so i will probably be on here tomorrow morning with a review of the games and whining about the lack of sleep.
The Voice last night was good. i'm amazed that the coaches put two great singers against each other in the battle rounds. it doesn't make any sense, especially with the battle round that ended last night's show. here is one of better last ones from the blind auditions.
Gotham was amazing last night. the show gets better each week.
Monday Night Raw was good and had some great moments. the match between Dolph Ziggler and HHH was great. the return of Roman Reigns to beat the shit out of HHH was exactly how they should use Roman. the only thing i didn't like last night was Neville getting injured in his match with Chris Jericho. he tried a baseball slide and his boot kind of got caught on the mat which caused him to break his ankle and most likely his shin bone. amazingly, he did a damn kick with the bad leg after he broke the ankle. that goes along with my strongly held belief that pro wrestlers are a different breed of human.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and Total Divas. i figure i'll watch all that when i get home from the games tonight. i figure the second game will go late, so it will be food at Waffle House as that will be the only thing open in Brookville that late.
i got some great music for FREE yesterday on NoiseTrade. apparently i got it on the last day it was available. i love me some good luck.
i need to get going. i have dishes to put away and trash to pick up. plus, we have to go next door and get their trash and recyclables picked up because it will be too late to do it when we get home from the games.
if you contact me in the next couple of days and i don't get back to you immediately, i'm not ignoring you. i'm either sleeping or catching up with other emails.
i hope this finds everyone hoping to win some money on college basketball in the next few weeks.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
