when talent overcomes shitty officiating

as some of you know firsthand, i HATE when officials get obvious calls wrong in sports. today was 2 of the worst fucking calls i have EVER seen get wrong and how the fuck the humans missed them is beyond me. now, i have some conspiracy theories, especially since Manchester United was involved.

i didn't see Paul Pogba's goal in the first half, where he was offside. it's somehow United's fault that they never called it. so when the blind asshole missed a beyond obvious handball in the box, i was furious. then, less than 2 minutes later, they took away a goal from Juan Mata that wasn't offside or even fucking close to it. i was damn near apoplectic. my thought was since Pogba scored right before the end of the first half, these stupid fucks saw at halftime their mistake and was bound to make sure they didn't help United at all in the second half, especially since Crystal Palace had tied the game at 1 by this point. enter a perfectly weighted ball from Pogba to Zlatan Ibrahimovic  and HOLY SHIT, what a goal. 88th minute. United goes on to win the game 2-1. a vital 3 points to keep pace with the front runners. i absolutely love when talent can overcome shitty officiating.

i was so happy to get The Voice winner correct last night. Sundance Head absolutely deserved to win.

Smackdown was very good last night. i can't wait for the match between Dolph Ziggler and AJ Styles.

205 Live was excellent last night. the triple threat match this weekend between TJ Perkins, Rich Swann and The Brian Kendrick should steal the show.

speaking of this weekend, congrats to my friend Sam Roberts on being able to scratch something off the bucket list as he will be a co-host on the pre-show to the ppv for the WWE this weekend.

Scream Queens was fantastic last night. i can't wait to see the season finale next week.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lucha Underground, Total Divas, Saturday Night Live Christmas Special and WWE Tribute to the Troops. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Rangers lost last night 2-1. it was another great game with Chicago. the boys had a great effort but ran into a hot goalie in the 3rd period. they play again at Dallas tomorrow, a game in which i think The King will be back in net.

there are supposed to be people show up here tomorrow to do our foam insulation. considering the windchill will be well below zero tomorrow, i'll believe it when i see it.

i know i will have to do some grocery shopping tomorrow as well.

the roads were much better than i thought they were going to be today. i got mom to her appointment early and thankfully they were able to get her in early.

i'll be on here tomorrow in the afternoon sometime i suppose. not sure if it will be before or after the grocery store.

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...

break out the shovel

the experts said we would get 1 to 3 inches of snow today. so when i went out to get the paper this morning, seeing the snow wasn't a surprise. now, when it was still snowing this afternoon and i needed to go next door to do the trash, that 1 to 3 was now up to around 5 inches of snow. great. so now i needed to break out the shovel and break a sweat. good times.

no heart attack while shoveling, so...

i really thought The Voice was pretty good last night. i think the final two will be between Sundance and Billy. i really want Sundance to win.

Monday Night Raw started off strong and ended strong last night. in between was roughly 2 1/2 hours of blah, except for the Sami Zayn segment with Mick Foley. both triple threat tag team matches last night were excellent. hats off to The New Day for setting the record for the longest reigning WWE tag team champions.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Chicago. they are once again starting the backup goalie tonight. i believe we all know this is going to blow up in the coach's face at some point, hopefully tonight is not the night.

all the Christmas gifts i ordered are finally here. so now it's all about finding the right newspaper to wrap them with.

mom has a doctor's appointment tomorrow at the same time Manchester United is playing. i'm going to have to figure out a way to follow the game while sitting in the waiting room.

i will most likely do a blog after i get home. i know i have pills and more shit to get from the grocery store. it looks like the weather is only going to get worse the rest of this week. good times.

that's all for me today kids. my old ass needs a rest.

now it looks like winter

here's the view from my back porch about 30 minutes ago...

response from Bad Acid Laboratories

i heard back from Johnny at Bad Acid Laboratories on my poetry submission from back in October. my poem "these pillows" has been accepted for publication in either January or February.

in addition, my poems "whiskey soaked notions" and "just another asshole seeking immortality" have been accepted for publication at Midnight Lane Boutique.

the winter blues

cloudy day after cloudy day after cloudy fucking day, welcome to winter. at least the rain this morning didn't freeze. i got mom to the hospital on time and she was out in under a hour. hopefully, this round of shots work even better.

the New York Rangers whipped New Jersey last night 5-0. it was a game that seemed like every break possible went for the Rangers. i'm old enough to know to enjoy the fuck out of those games. the Rangers play Chicago at home tomorrow night.

the New Orleans Saints had another shitty game on offense yesterday. they lost to Tampa Bay 16-11. it was a god awful game to watch. Drew Brees threw another 3 interceptions. i can't help but think if Michael Thomas would have played, they could have won. oh well.

the season finale of Divorce was very interesting last night. in hindsight, i guess i'm happy my sister and i were as old as we were when our parents got divorced. i could see my father pulling some custody shit like what happened in the show last night.

Shameless was great last night. i can't wait for that season finale next week.

The Affair was awesome last night. easily, one of the best shows on television.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and night 1 of the finale of The Voice. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

after i got mom home from the hospital this morning, i went to the grocery store. when i saw the scroll on the side of the refrigerator this morning, i figured i should go on the day where there isn't going to be any snow. i had to get gas as well. so, i got everything for under $160. that's not bad. i did see a couple of women in the store that nearly made me stop dead in my tracks. hopefully a few poems will be popping up later this evening.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. if not, a bottle is cheaper than therapy.

a day for the bones to ache

when i woke up this morning, i looked outside, expecting to see snow. the "experts" said we could get 1 to 2 inches. we had nothing. today is supposed to be mostly rain. as long as it doesn't freeze, i'll take the pain.

the Dayton Flyers finally started a game off hot yesterday and it was great. it was very clear that ETSU hadn't played anyone this season, that was the only reason they came into the game 7-1. Dayton pretty much controlled the game from start to finish. they now have a week to get their finals done and get ready to play Northwestern in Chicago.

i did watch most of the MLS Cup last night. i really didn't have a rooting interest, other than wanting to see a good game. it went to a penalty shootout and Seattle won in Toronto. i can't imagine how cold the players were.

Saturday Night Live was funny at times last night, but like most things John Cena does, ultimately i was bored.

ROH last night was very good. it was 60 minutes of the women of honor wrestling.

Austin City Limits was very good last night. somehow, i missed the episode with Ryan Adams and Shakey Graves when it aired earlier this year.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of Divorce, Shameless and The Affair.

Manchester United won this morning 1-0 over Tottenham. Henrikh Mkhitaryan became the first Armenian player to score in the Premier League. when he went off injured, i thought for sure he had fucked up his ankle or achilles. thankfully, The Special One said it wasn't anything that needed surgery. he might miss a match but he should be back by Boxing Day. that's good news. United plays Crystal Palace next on Wednesday.

the New Orleans Saints play at Tampa Bay this afternoon. i'm hoping for a victory, but i doubt it.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against New Jersey. the coach is pressing his luck and starting the backup goalie once again. if the Rangers win and the goalie does great again, he's a genius. if they don't win and it's because of some soft goals, he's the dumb ass with the future hall of fame goalie on the bench. it should be interesting tonight.

i will be on here tomorrow sometime after i get home from taking mom to get the next round of shots in her back. we have to be at the hospital at 8:45 in the morning, so either i'm going to bed early tonight or i'm going to be a grumpy motherfucker driving in the morning. chances are i'll be grumpy.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday will be even better.

a dusting of the white stuff

there's a part of me that wishes that subject line was about cocaine. instead, it's about snow. i opened the garage door this morning to go get the paper and was like, shit, i guess they weren't joking. it doesn't look like we got more than a dusting. hopefully we don't get anymore until i get back from the basketball game.

i did write 5 poems last night. i finally got the one that had been in my head for over a week out. i really like most of them. i figure i may do a round of submissions in the next week or so.

Vice News Tonight had another excellent week of reporting.

Vice Special Report: A House Divided was a pretty accurate portrayal of where the political system in this country is. the one subject that i wish was touched more was how much racism played into the paralysis over the last 8 years. i think you can see it now with how much the white politicians are salivating to wipe away the last 8 years as quickly as possible. i figure the next administration is going to be like George W. Bush's administration; loving war, hating taxes and not smart enough to know that you can't cut taxes and increase spending. hello recession.

NJPW was excellent last night.

i enjoyed Madonna: Rebel Heart Tour much more than i thought i was going to. i'm not exactly sure why. i do know i need to step out of my box every now and then and take part in the disposable world. it's good for my mental health, or at least that's what i am telling myself.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live, Austin City Limits and ROH.

i will probably also watch the MLS Final tonight between Seattle and Toronto.

the New York Rangers won 1-0 last night in OT in Chicago. they started the backup goalie for the second game in a row and the gamble absolutely paid off. both goalies last night were spectacular. this is a huge win for the Rangers, especially since they were playing on back to back nights. they next play on Sunday against New Jersey.

the Dayton Flyers play ETSU this afternoon. this should be a tough game, but hopefully Dayton can extend their winning streak.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

i will probably be on here tomorrow before the Manchester United game.

i just love watching a weather forecast where the genius on television basically says your guess is as good as mine where this will end up going. a winter storm is supposed to hit here tomorrow night and basically fuck up all of Sunday and maybe Monday. but they don't know if we're going to get snow, rain, a mix, or what... good times.

today has been laundry day. i figured i better wear clean clothes to the basketball game tomorrow.

i woke myself up this morning with a fart. a fart that happened to sound like a fucking shotgun going off. it felt like i blew out the back of my shorts. thank god i don't sleep nude anymore. i've ruined enough sheets in my life.

i only have 1 gift left to come to the house. thankfully, this one should fit in the mailbox, so i won't have to check constantly. i hate that these fucks out here just bring a package to the door and set it down and leave. and they wonder why there are thieves in the world.

my last load of laundry is just about done in the dryer, so that's all for me kids.

snowflakes in the air

when i went to the post office today, there was some snowflakes in the air. it definitely feels like December now.

everyone should check their mailboxes in the next few days. either a card or a mysterious envelope could be in there. if you didn't get one and feel you should have, send me an email with your mailing address. it's always possible i missed someone.

Lucha Underground was really good last night. i really enjoyed the chaos.

the first half of the Manchester United game today put me to sleep. thankfully, the second half was better. i always felt like whenever Henrikh Mkhitaryan was going to score his first goal for United, it was going to be spectacular. today, i was finally right. it was a beauty. Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored late to make it 2-0. the win was enough to get United through to the knockout round in the Europa League. plus, it was their first win on the road in Europe in ages it seems like. they have a tough one this weekend in the Premier League against Tottenham, so i will definitely enjoy this one tonight.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Winnipeg. i will probably watch a little of that.

i'll probably also check out the NFL game tonight between Oakland and Kansas City.

i got myself a Christmas gift today. i wasn't going to turn down an autographed Ben Harper poster at 50% off.

i still haven't got that fucking poem out of my head yet. i'll try to make the drinks a little stronger tonight. that tends to get the engine going these days.

took mom out for a ride today. she needed to get some cash out of the ATM. on our way back, we saw the guy who farmed our land raking some leaves. i pulled over and put down mom's window. thankfully, it wasn't too fucking cold. he's doing well. mom always wanted to be able to sell the farm to him and his family, but it never worked out. we drove past the old farm on the way back home. i'm surprised there are any trees left.

75 years later...

does this day still live in infamy? i really want to believe so, but i highly doubt it. now, if you are connected to the military at all, i would imagine December 7th means a great deal to you. but for the millions of people who detest war and everything else that goes along with it, i'm not sure if they actually give a shit. i'm definitely not a pro war kind of guy, but i do respect anyone who ever wore the uniform, including my father, grandfather, etc. too many people don't respect the person in the uniform. i imagine that's why there are so many homeless veterans and also why we have shitty mental health services in this country. i imagine those are 2 arguments for a different day. but, i urge everyone to do a little research for themselves on Pearl Harbor and why you should actually give a shit.

i spent most of this afternoon getting all the Christmas cards/gifts ready to mail out tomorrow. i can just imagine the horror at the post office when i walk in. hopefully there isn't a fucking line.

the Dayton Flyers started off slow last night, once again. i loved what the coach did this time. he immediately pulled 4 of the starters out of the game and put in bench players. that's exactly how you get their attention, take away playing time. considering Dayton was playing a Division II school, i could see why some of the guys thought it was going to be a cakewalk. once the Flyers got their shit in gear, it was. Dayton won 91-59. they play next on Saturday against ETSU.

the New York Rangers lost last night to the last place Islanders 4-2. thank god the game was over before i got home. the injury bug has hit the team again. i swear, if it's not one thing, it's another. they next play at Winnipeg tomorrow.

i had 3 of the 4 finalists on The Voice correct. when i saw who was in the final 3 to compete to see who made the last spot, i figured the Country Mafia would strike again. sure enough...

i really hope Sundance wins it all, but i honestly could see Billy winning it. that would certainly make me sick to my stomach.

Scream Queens was hilarious last night.

Smackdown was excellent last night. everything on the show just clicked. it was fantastic.

205 Live was very interesting last night. i'm happy Rich Swann is still the champ, but i can definitely see a feud coming up with TJ Perkins.

i'll be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the Europa League. of course, the pitch looks horrible, so i have no idea if they will actually play.

a miserable night of rain

it had to be around 2 in the morning when i started to ache. i knew it was raining outside. the ache has started to leak into my dreams. they are slowly becoming weird acid flashbacks; like Burroughs and Hunter S. Thompson have stopped over for a beer and some good H. i usually don't mind the company, though i would like to have one good night of sleep before i die.

i just happened to check on the Christmas gifts i ordered and one was apparently delivered last night by the post office. my first thought was bullshit. i opened the front door and there it was. thankfully, it was fucking dry. i just love how the post office will never knock on the door or ring the bell when they bring something to the house. thank god i forgot to turn on the outside lights last night. i doubt that package would have still been there this morning.

The Voice was pretty good last night. i thought most of the performers had their best performances of the season last night. they get cut from 8 to 4 tonight. if i had to guess, i think the 4 will be Billy, Sundance, Brendan and We, even though i think there's a small chance Ali gets in over We. here are some of the performances from last night.

Monday Night Raw wasn't horrible last night, but it wasn't great either. so i guess 3 good shows in a row is all they can do now. once again, the whole show is being carried by Jericho and Owens, which speaks well of them and really bad of the creative staff. they certainly could use the KISS theory when it comes to the writing.

enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice, Scream Queens and Smackdown. i hope everything records as i won't be home. i'll watch all of that and 205 Live on WWE Network sometime after i get home from the basketball game.

the Dayton Flyers play a Division II school tonight at home. i'm hoping they beat the shit out of them early so the walk-ons get a chance to play tonight.

the New York Rangers play the fucking Islanders tonight. they usually do well when i don't watch, so maybe they will win tonight.

i've got a poem stuck in my head. i'm not sure when the fuck it's going to find its way out, but i'm hoping it's not like normal and it happens when i'm taking a shit.

that's all for me kids. i've got things to do and would like to sneak a nap in before i leave for the game tonight.

running into family at the grocery store

i ran into a cousin at the grocery store today. i'm not a guy that really likes to shoot the shit in public. i'm more of the i have a list and i want to get this shot done type. my uncle is back in the hospital. mom got the phone call last night. who the fuck knows what he has now to go along with the cancer. i told mom though, the family will not be able to stand him dying around Christmas. the joys of the holidays.

thankfully, my Sunday night was much, MUCH better than my Sunday afternoon. i was so fucking angry by the end of the New Orleans Saints game that i thought i was going to have a stroke.

Manchester United was cruising along up 1-0 yesterday at Everton. late in the game, The Special One decided to bring on Marouane Fellaini. like most United fans, i was like WHY? sure enough, less than 3 minutes on the pitch, he fouled a guy in the box and gave Everton a penalty kick. so, for the fifth game in a row in the league, a fucking draw. 1-1. i wanted to blame it all on the shitty officiating, but even i know it was more self inflicted than anything. hopefully this shit will end one day. maybe they can find a team dumb enough to want to sign him in January. or maybe The Special One will just let him rot on the fucking bench for the rest of the season. not the way i wanted to start my Sunday.

the New Orleans Saints couldn't get a stop on defense to save their lives yesterday. and the offense was fucking horrific for most of the game. not a good combination for winning in a game that you really needed. the Lions beat the Saints 28-13. Drew Brees was held without a touchdown at home for the first time in 7 seasons. so you can imagine how my day went in fantasy football as well.

WWE TLC was amazing last night. i loved all the title changes. i loved the main event. it had a little of everything. all in all, it was better than i expected and i was expecting a great one.

Westworld was one of the best mind fucks i think i have ever received. nearly all the questions were answered and honestly, just give anyone connected to the show whatever damn award they are up for. it was fucking great. if you didn't watch the show, do yourself a favor and find it and enjoy the fuck out of it.

Divorce was pretty funny last night.

Shameless was great last night. i'm so emotionally invested since i have watched every episode, i nearly shit myself when Ian got in the car with Mickey at the end of the episode.

i really enjoyed The Affair last night. i never knew Brendan Fraser could play a creep so well.

i had 2 rum and cokes last night and i woke up this morning with a cramp in my left leg. i think it had something to do with Castro, but i'm not sure. the rum is from Cuba.

Pete Holmes: Faces and Sounds was pretty damn funny as well.

Dayton has been shorthanded all damn season inside. there was a huge roar when KP made his debut in the first half. and i absolutely love that they whipped Winthrop 83-67, mostly because their head coach used to be an assistant at Xavier. Dayton plays again on Tuesday against a Division II school. hopefully that's a blowout.

the New York Rangers won this afternoon over Carolina 4-2. looks like i'll be enjoying some victory beers tonight.

sadly, my high school lost in the division 3 state finals this afternoon 30-0. still, it was farther than i expected Trotwood to go this season.

i was up early as shit this morning. Chelsea whipped Manchester City 3-1. and El Clasico ended up 1-1 between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

NJPW was excellent last night. i could watch Will Ospreay wrestle everyday for the rest of my life and never get bored.

the Fitz and The Tantrums concert/interview was good last night.

Vice News Tonight had another excellent week of reporting.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Keanu, Pete Holmes: Faces and Sounds, The Hateful Eight, Saturday Night Live and ROH.

i'm planning on being on here early tomorrow, before Manchester United takes on Everton. if not then, it would be after the New Orleans Saints play Detroit.

here's the latest reason why Janne Karlsson is a genius:

i'm always amazed at what he takes out of this blog and turns into art.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday night. only fuck the ones that cough.

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...

i just love hate mail, but...

ANY feedback i get from people, i love. be it great, bad, hateful, whatever... the worst thing any artist (did i just go there with myself?) can get in response to their work is indifference. now, i wish i got more praise than i currently get, but... the hate mail never gets old. and honestly, i don't give a shit if you hate my writing, hate me as a person, hate my music or hate my political views... all of that is fair game. but, don't make the mistake the cunt from yesterday made and include my family in it. if you EVER really want to see someone gleefully walk that line of insanity, cross the line that never should be crossed. and trust me, as my mother pointed out years ago, i'm fine with a cot and 3 meals a day. when i tell everyone i write so i don't kill people, they tend to think i'm joking. there are moments in my life, and yesterday was one of them, where no one would ever want to see how close to the truth my "joke" really is. there's your warning.

the New York Rangers lost last night to Buffalo 4-3. it was the first game all season they lost when entering the 3rd period with a lead. hopefully they will use the game as a wake up call. they play Carolina again tomorrow.

The Big Bang Theory was excellent last night.

Life in Pieces was fucking hysterical last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, 2 episodes of NJPW and a concert/interview with Fitz and The Tantrums.

today was the second day in a row with no sun at all. i had to get out of the house this afternoon or i felt like i was going to explode. thankfully, i had a check that i needed to deposit and mom had mail to go out. that got me out of the house for at least 30 minutes. thankfully, i get to go out for longer than that tomorrow.

i'll be at the Dayton Flyers game tomorrow afternoon against Winthrop.

i will probably do a blog after i get home from the game. Saturday morning will be back to back soccer matches; Manchester City vs. Chelsea and then Real Madrid vs. Barcelona. right after those get over, it's off to the basketball game.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. call if you need bail money.

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

ah, the dull skies of December

before i get too far down the rabbit hole, i want to thank A.J. Huffman (Kind of a Hurricane Press) for all the times she published me at Pyrokinection, Napalm and Novocain and Jellyfish Whispers. i really do appreciate it. best of luck in whatever comes next.

i didn't sleep well at all last night. i woke up at 3 in the morning and couldn't fall back asleep. it took a combination of soccer and porn to finally do the trick. of course, that only lasted for 2 hours. i figure one of these days exhaustion will catch up with me and either kill me or make me Rip Van Winkle. i'd prefer death if those are my only options.

Lucha Underground was excellent last night.

NXT was pretty good last night.

Total Divas had me laughing my ass off last night. at least i know The Miz is paying the price for marrying over his head.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Big Bang Theory and Life in Pieces.

i'll probably watch some of the football game tonight between Dallas and Minnesota.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Buffalo. hopefully they can get another win tonight.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. great interviews with Finn Balor and Daniel Bryan. you can find the podcast on iTunes and Stitcher and many other places.

i've got dishes to do kids, so that's all for me today.

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