one of those unexpected moments...

Drew Brees threw his 500th and 501st touchdown passes yesterday. when the Saints were up and the Ravens were driving, i was really hoping the defense would find a way to make a stand. silly me, the Ravens went right down the field and scored a touchdown. thanks to an act of Mother Nature, the Ravens kicker, who had NEVER missed an extra point in his professional career, missed the kick. Saints won 24-23. that's a huge fucking win on the road and that gives Drew Brees a victory over every team in the NFL.

the New York Rangers lost to Calgary last night, 4-1. to be honest, i didn't watch much of the game at all. i figure there's going to be plenty of games like that this season.

America to Me was pretty good last night. the series finale is next week.

Shameless was great last night. i'm a little pissed the show won't be on again until January, but i'll get over it.

Kidding was fucking great last night.

The Deuce was excellent last night.

Camping was pretty funny last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Stolen Daughters: Kidnapped by Boko Haram. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i woke up this morning to 5 poems being rejected by North of Oxford. not exactly the way i hoped to start a Monday, but oh well.

i will be on here tomorrow after mom has her eye surgery on her left eye and after Manchester United plays Juventus in the Champions League.

physical therapy went very well today. i don't have to go back. my therapist showed me another exercise to add to my routine. i told him i've been doing the stretching and exercises four times a day here the last few days and the back has really responded. so, that will be the plan going forward. hopefully, i won't have to have any physical therapy for the rest of the year.

i mailed off my mother's and my absentee ballots today. so i guess i'm back in the system now.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i wrote yesterday that i thought the Ohio State game was going to be a trap game and sure enough... Purdue beat Ohio State last night 49-20. i honestly didn't watch much after the 3rd quarter. i was just too fucking angry. now Ohio State has to think about that game through their bye week. oh joy.

i did watch some of the Lakers vs. Rockets last night.

Austin City Limits was pretty good last night.

ROH was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be America to Me, Shameless, Kidding, The Deuce and Camping.

the New Orleans Saints play this afternoon at Baltimore. i think the Ravens are the one team in the NFL Drew Brees hasn't defeated. hopefully, that changes today.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Calgary. hopefully, the Rangers will get a victory in regulation tonight.

i will be on here tomorrow sometime after my physical therapy.

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

looking for something better

my poem "looking for something better" has been published at Red Eft Review. you can find the poem by going here: http://redeftreview.blogspot.com/2018/10/looking-for-something-better-by-jj.html

if only the game ended 30 seconds sooner...

i almost got up on time this morning. i saw the clock at 7 AM. i decided to stay in bed as Manchester United hasn't won at Chelsea in years. i started watching the game in the second half. i was really, really happy when Anthony Martial scored his second goal of the game to put United up 2-1. of course, Chelsea scored in the 96th minute to end the game in a 2-2 draw. United was 30 seconds away from their first win at Chelsea in 6 years. now, do i take the positive that United got a point out of the game or do i dwell on the fact that United came oh so fucking close to a huge victory. fuck, i know me. i'll have a bad taste in my mouth for the rest of the day.

NJPW was pretty good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was the anniversary special last night. it was really good.

Pod Save America was excellent last night.

i did watch some NBA last night as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH and Austin City Limits.

Ohio State plays tonight at Purdue. i am pretty worried about this game. it has trap game written all over it.

mom wants to go out shopping today. after i get this done, i think we're going. she wants some Halloween decorations i guess. i'm not sure why she didn't look at Dollar Tree when we were there this past Monday. oh well.

i know there is a Game 7 tonight between the Dodgers and Brewers. i will probably watch some of that tonight.

i will probably be on here tomorrow sometime before the Saints play at the Ravens tomorrow.

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

response from Academy Of The Heart And Mind

i heard back from the fine folks at Academy Of The Heart And Mind on my poetry submission from earlier in the day. my poems "fades into oblivion", "while taking my blood sugar", "raging with excitement", "something that would make your mother blush" and "a little slice of happiness" have been accepted for publication. they should appear in the next few weeks.

it's not easy doing math on the fly in a damn zoo...

i don't know what makes the grocery store a fucking zoo at 2 in the afternoon on a Friday in October. is it the possibility of fucking snow in the air tomorrow night? is it the rush to get shit done before high school football? is it the need to buy lottery tickets? ok, i do understand that one. if the line wouldn't have been 15 fucking people deep at the time, i probably would have got some tickets as well. anyways, i was able to get everything on the list and keep it under $100. mom was fucking shocked.

a little poetry update. i did send out 23 poems this morning. 3 to Red Eft Review (already heard back, 1 accepted for publication) and 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Academy Of The Heart And Mind, Fourth & Sycamore and North of Oxford. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

i did watch plenty of LeBron's first game for the Lakers last night. now, as a Sacramento Kings fan, to watch the Lakers lose was delicious to see. but, i am also a LeBron fan and i am fascinated to see the circus this season with him on the Lakers. let's just say, he didn't disappoint last night.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty funny last night.

Young Sheldon was very funny last night.

Will & Grace was fucking hilarious last night. i swear the show is just as good as it was back in the day.

enjoy some music:

the cold sunshine

it was kind of chilly today, but the sun was out. so after i got home from the bank, i went out in the yard and got some work done. i put some bird feeders out for the small birds; and changed a couple of the ones we had in front with feeders we had in the back before we got the landscape redone. once they put the final tree in, i'll put the suet feeders back out and then it should be complete.

the New York Rangers lost in OT last night at Washington, 4-3. still, they managed to get a point out of that game which makes me think they will at least be competitive most nights of the season.

NXT was really good last night.

205 Live was good last night.

the Mae Young Classic was excellent last night.

Lucha Underground was good last night.

Mr. Mercedes was fucking great last night. next week is the season finale.

American Horror Story was fucking amazing last night.

Total Divas was pretty good last night.

i will probably watch some of the NBA tonight. it will be really weird to see LeBron in a Lakers uniform.

i might watch some of the NFL tonight, basically for shits and giggles.

i did listen to episode 208 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:

mom picked out some really nice doors and black storm doors for the house last night. she dropped a little over 7 grand for them. she laughed and said well, it's only your inheritance. i chuckled knowing i will get nothing when she dies, much like when my father died. and i have little hope to outlive my sister, who already told me any money she leaves me will be put in a trust and will be given to me as a monthly allowance. i better figure out how to win that damn Mega Millions draw tomorrow night.

i guess the plan for tomorrow is to get some poems out in the morning and then hit the grocery store. i will probably be on here after i get back home.

that's all for me kids.

one of those mornings where death would have been a better option...

i tell everyone i possibly can, never have a bad back. i couldn't get my back loose until this afternoon. mind you, i have been up since about 4 this morning. i'm not even sure if i did sleep. i think it was more just tossing and turning. i think i may know why...

the muse and i had a really intense conversation last night about racism. part of what i feared about being stuck in a small town that has no fucking clue what diversity is, that mentality would start to slip into my mindset. and, apparently it has. using the word stupid when ignorant or hateful would have been a better choice set off an ass ripping that i sorely needed. so, maybe my tossing and turning was more or less me coming to grips with myself. i can only hope to be better after this.

the New York Rangers won in a shootout last night over Colorado, 3-2. the Rangers play tonight in Washington. i will be shocked if they actually win two in a row.

the USA Men's National Team played Peru to a 1-1 draw last night. Peru scored late to get the draw. considering who the USA is missing, i'm pretty happy with the result.

it was the 1,000th episode of Smackdown last night. i thought the show was pretty good, but you could tell it was rushed for time at the end.

The Jim Jefferies Show was hilarious last night.

The Voice was pretty good last night.

Mayans M.C. was excellent last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lucha Underground, Total Divas, Mr. Mercedes and American Horror Story. i'll watch 205 Live, NXT and the Mae Young Classic sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i did watch NXT UK this afternoon on WWE Network. it was really good.

mom had a guy come out this morning to give her an estimate on the blinds for the new windows. i think the ones she's getting are going to look really good. if all goes well, they will be installed before Thanksgiving. the guy who is coming to give us an estimate on new doors just rang the doorbell.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the bank.

there's fucking snow in the forecast. they aren't talking any accumulations, but fuck me.

mom's doing well after her eye surgery. i'm hoping the left eye goes just as well next week.

that's all for me kids. i now have to go out and see how much mom is going to spend on doors.

a million things to do with no time to think

this is one of those days where i have a million fucking things to do and not nearly enough time to get all this shit done. thankfully, mom's eye surgery went well. she was right when she said it would take longer to get set up than the actual process. she was a little nervous, but thankfully she should be less nervous next week when she has the left eye done. i wrote 7 poems while i was there. i typed those up this afternoon. i think they are pretty good. that gives me 16 poems for the month.

The Voice was very good last night. i'm so happy they have started the Battle Rounds.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

the USA Men's National Team plays a soccer friendly tonight against Peru. i will probably watch some of that as well.

on top of all that, i have to vacuum the house and round up all the trash and get that down to the curb, here and next door.

on top of all that, i had to run out to the local grocery store to get some chicken gravy because mom forgot to put it on the list and then forgot to tell me to get it over the weekend. joy.

so yeah, i'm a little busy. all part of actually living i suppose.

i have no damn clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. it will most likely be after the WWE airs NXT UK on WWE Network. wrestling at 3 in the afternoon on a Wednesday. sure, why not.

that's all for me kids. until tomorrow...

i did watch plenty of football yesterday. most of the results i liked, especially the ones in the Saints division.

America to Me was very good last night.

The Deuce was excellent last night.

Camping was pretty good, although i can see why people would hate it.

Last Week Tonight was hilarious as usual.

Shameless was fucking great last night. the last 10 minutes are exactly why i love this series.

Kidding was great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

we got out of mom's doctor's appointment a little sooner than we expected. so, there's a Dollar Tree not far from where my physical therapy is. we were able to waste 30 minutes or so there before we left to my therapy. we only spent $11 at Dollar Tree, so that's not bad.

my physical therapy session was good. no drama like the week before. my therapist said if my back continues to get better this week, next week might be my last session. my back is definitely not as tight as it was the week before, so i'm trending in the right direction.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after mom's eye surgery. i think the surgery is supposed to only be a few minutes long. they are taking a laser to the scar tissue that has formed where her cataracts were. good times. one eye this week and the other eye next week.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i should have known as soon as i saw Gus Johnson was calling the game...

i remember years ago, Bill Simmons wrote an article where he said if you wanted to be entertained by a football game, watch any game Gus Johnson was calling. i think that was over a decade ago. sadly, it's still true. so, when i turned on the Ohio State game yesterday and saw that Gus was doing play by play, i knew what to expect. the game was incredibly tight until about the fourth quarter. Ohio State eventually defeated Minnesota, 30-14. most of the game was much, much tighter than the final score.

the New York Rangers lost to Edmonton yesterday 2-1. yet another shitty game from the officials. oh well.

Austin City Limits was really good last night. i could listen to John Prine for hours and hours.

Saturday Night Live was pretty good last night.

ROH was good last night.

i did write 5 poems last night. they are pretty dark and good. that gives me 9 for the month. i need to write some more and get another round of submissions ready to go soon.

my back is doing much better. the stretches and exercises the therapist showed me have really helped.

of course this couldn't have happened 20 years earlier

so, i was in the grocery store and this very attractive white woman, i'm guessing in her late 20's, looked me up and down and smiled. i smiled and noticed her boyfriend, a black guy who was around 6'6 and 300 lbs., had his back turned. in my head, i was like this bitch is going to get me killed. now, 20 years earlier and i wouldn't have minded getting into a fight over a woman, mostly because my ego was still cocky enough and arthritis hadn't set in. but in 2018, those days are gone forever. after i smiled i just kept moving, never even looking back. i'm sure there will be poems though.

the grocery store was fucking crazy today. and of course, i had a scroll of shit to buy and gift cards as well. between gas, a prescription, gift cards and food, i was fucking shocked i kept it under $200.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty funny last night.

Young Sheldon was very funny last night.

Will & Grace was hilarious last night.

the New York Rangers won in OT last night, 3-2 over San Jose. first win of the season for the Rangers. first win of David Quinn's NHL coaching career. The King was brilliant in goal. and i think i have a favorite new young player. Brett Howden is fucking amazing.

the USA men's national team lost to Colombia, 4-2 last night. the USA actually had the lead in the second half, so that's encouraging. with all the injuries they have currently, i wasn't expecting a victory, that's for sure.

i need to go fill out my absentee ballot application and do another round of back exercises. between that and racing to the toilet today, i should be losing some weight.

it's a brand new face

i flipped back to the game last night just as Aaron Judge was leading off the bottom of the 9th inning with a walk. i stayed glued to the game and experienced nearly every emotion i could by the end of it. the Yankees lost last night to Boston, 4-3. Gary Sanchez missed a walk off grand slam by about 5 feet or so. the sad thing about the Yankees this year was they were way too reliant on the fucking home run. if they simply knew how to have situational hitting, they would be the team moving on. instead, i had to look at video of Boston living it up in Yankee Stadium. talk about a bitter fucking taste.

so with the Yankees eliminated and the New York Rangers still looking for their first win, it was time for a change. so, i broke out the clippers and holy shit, it's a brand new face. i took mom to get a haircut today. when i sat down to get mine, i told the woman just make me look different than when i walked in.

we'll see how long the "normal" goatee lasts.

Smackdown was really good last night.

i might do a little writing here today as well. i mean, i don't sleep worth a shit anymore, so i might as well make my insomnia fucking productive. and i think i have my next poem for my SoundCloud recordings.

so yeah, never a dull moment in the life of a crazy person.

i had a fascinating dream about the muse last night. i sent her a message about it. i haven't heard back. i believe Tom Petty was correct, the waiting is the hardest part.

they have most of the landscaping finished. it looks really good. we're just waiting on another tree that was ordered to show up. and then once that gets planted, it's all done.

my thoughts are with everyone getting pummeled by Hurricane Michael.
