with it getting dark so early here, it's very easy for me to slip into the winter blues. i do my best to cope and not fall in my traps, but... let's just say i'm a lazy fuck who is too smart to trick his own mind.
yesterday was a very long day for me. today is feeling like it will be longer.
the New Orleans Saints apparently can't win at home anymore. they played like absolute shit yesterday. a 41-10 loss that wasn't even that close. i stopped watching midway through the game and started watching the MLS final between Los Angeles and New England. that game was certainly better than the Saints game. plus, it was Landon Donovan's final professional game, so i wanted to see it. i'm happy he gets to go out as a winner. as for the Saints, if the Falcons lose tonight, they will still have a chance at making the playoffs. sadly, i'd prefer them to lose and get a better draft pick at this point.
i did order Final Battle last night on ppv. ROH put on one hell of a show. my favorite matches were the 6 man tag between ACH & The Young Bucks vs. Cedric Alexander & The Addiction. it was a fast paced holy shit match with great action throughout. the main event, Jay Briscoe vs. Adam Cole was fucking great. any match that has tables, chairs, thumbtacks, a few holy shit chants, plenty of 2 counts, a staple gun, and an incredible image to close out the show is worth every penny spent on getting the ppv. i'm a fan for life. just a great show.
the Sunday night shows were excellent. The Newsroom had yet another holy shit, i didn't see that coming ending. the series finale is next week. Homeland was excellent. i wish they didn't have the week off between the episodes. that would have made this episode that much more meaningful. The Affair did a good job of peeling back the onion a bit without revealing too much.
i woke up this morning amazingly refreshed after that long ass day. of course, 45 minutes of doing the dishes and my bad back was right back on my doorstep. not much has helped it today. thank god it isn't raining.
Manchester United played like shit today. too many fucking giveaways and surprise, surprise, another fucking injury. (insert superhero music here) RVP to the rescue. 2 goals from him and United stuns a Southampton team that outplayed them by a mile, 2-1. the win puts United in 3rd place in the Premier League. that's 5 wins in a row, first time that has happened since Sir Alex left the club. i suppose LVG is getting shit done faster than he thought it would take.
the New York Rangers play at home here in a few minutes. hopefully they can get a win tonight against the fucking Penguins. i'll be watching that as i listen to the Archie Miller show on the radio. i suppose i know why i am single.
also tonight is the usual clusterfuck of The Voice and Monday Night Raw. it's the Slammy Awards tonight on Raw, so i guess i'll be watching that.
later tonight i'll watch Men in Blazers as well.
i was happy that Ohio State made it into the college football playoffs. they will have their work cut out for them facing Alabama, the number one seed in the playoffs. but, i like them as an underdog. keep doubting them. please.
i will be on here sometime in the morning. i think i may have to drive mom to a doctor's appointment and we have a basketball game tomorrow night.
hope everyone had a great weekend. i'm off to go enjoy a victory beer. 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...

and then... sunshine
to start off this Sunday morning, let's have a little music for the congregation:
why that band isn't one of the most famous bands in the world is a mystery to me.
my Saturday was pretty damn good. a couple of victory beers and i got some sleep. all in all, i can't complain.
let's get the bad news from yesterday out of the way first. the New York Rangers blew a 2 goal lead and somehow pissed away power play after power play to lose at Detroit 3-2. thankfully, i didn't watch much of the game, though i certainly was fucking frustrated with what i did get to watch.
earlier in the day, i was at UD Arena to see the Dayton Flyers give Eastern Michigan their first loss of the season, 73-64. the game shouldn't have been that close as Dayton missed a fucking ton of free throws. but, a win is a win. they play again at home on Tuesday night. below are some highlights from yesterday:
after that, mom and i went to get something to eat before going to the grocery store. the sports bar wasn't that crowded, so that was good for my mother's ears. the grocery store wasn't that bad either. we had a ton of shit to get and we had a ton of coupons as well. the check out girl wasn't happy. we got that done and back home in time for the Ohio State game.
i certainly was hopeful that Ohio State would play well last night. i certainly didn't expect the 59-0 beat down they put on Wisconsin. i guess Ohio St. has 3 good quarterbacks and most schools barely have one. hats off to the defense as well for emasculating Wisconsin for the ENTIRE game. i can't imagine them not being in the college football playoff now.
Saturday Night Live was pretty funny in spots. the football game was still going on for some of the show. i think i caught most of what i missed on YouTube this morning. here's a skit that made me laugh:
after that, i watched the preview for the upcoming ROH ppv later tonight. the show should be AWESOME. i'm torn on getting it or not. it's $34.95 and i'm not exactly made out of money. but, i'm going to try to figure something out so i can order it tonight.
my fantasy football teams have a few injury concerns today, but i think i'm going to be ok. i'd like to finish the fantasy regular season with some wins.
the New Orleans Saints play a huge divisional game today against Carolina. hopefully i'll be enjoying a victory beer this afternoon.
tonight is the usual Sunday night shows. i'm really looking forward to The Newsroom, Homeland, and The Affair. thankfully, if i do get the wrestling ppv, the shows will be on after it.
i still have trash to pick up and cats to feed. but, breakfast didn't give me the shits, so maybe today will be as good as yesterday.
hope everyone is having a good weekend. if not, go drink.
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.

tossing and turning all night long
i could never quite find a comfortable spot in my old ass bed last night, so i mostly just tossed and turned all night long. eventually i just said fuck it, and got up. i don't know where i'm going to sneak a nap in today, so i suppose i'll just be a cranky fucker all day long.
i did wake up to some wonderful artwork from my friend Janne Karlsson:
i told him if i ever write an autobiography, i believe he just gave me the title and cover art.
plus, Chelsea lost this morning, so maybe today will be a good day.
Sonic Highways last night was excellent. i REALLY loved the song they did at the end. adding the strings was an excellent touch. i guess i should really get the album now. (that's a nice hint for anyone wanting to get me something for the holidays... amazon.com wish list link on the right hand side of this blog)
today is going to be another busy one for me. the Dayton Flyers play at home against an undefeated Eastern Michigan. after that, i guess we're going to get some lunch and then get the grocery shopping done. we should get home by the time Ohio State plays for the Big 10 championship tonight. i'm not expecting a win given all the injuries and tragedies surrounding the team right now. though, i wouldn't mind another victory beer. after that, i'm looking forward to a new episode of Saturday Night Live and the preview episode to the ppv tomorrow for ROH. with the matches they have for it, i'm pretty much going to have to bite the bullet and order it tomorrow.
thankfully, Manchester United doesn't play until Monday, so maybe i'll actually get to sleep a little on Sunday morning. at least that's the plan. i'll be on here tomorrow sometime in the morning. i'd like to have my writing done before the New Orleans Saints play at the very least.
that's all for me today. it's still fucking raining here. so, time to strap on the boots and go feed the cats. we have to be near 2 inches or so of rain by now.
hope everyone has a great weekend. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

some rain, a masturbation story, some more rain, a little music, poems and some sports...
my back has been killing me all day today. this persistent drizzle is the fucking culprit. tonight is when the heavy shit is supposed to start. that won't be fun at all.
i wrote 3 poems today, all after i shot my load nearly 3/4 of the way up my chest. i guess i needed a release. as for the poems, the first one may be a fucking classic. only time will tell. the other 2 are solid. i'm planning on sending some more out next week.
i spent the morning on NoiseTrade again. found a couple old albums i downloaded for FREE. i'll post the links below.
i did pretty good in fantasy football last night. i picked the game right as well.
i watched mostly sports last night, bouncing from game to game. i decided to take a nap instead of watching a lot of Peter Pan. that worked out pretty good for me.
i'm looking forward to Sonic Highways tonight. it's the series finale, so it should be good.
the New York Yankees finally woke up and did something this offseason. they traded for a shortstop and signed the best reliever not named David Robertson on the market. i do like the addition of Andrew Miller. he should fit in the bullpen very nicely, especially if they bring back DRob, as they should. $9 million a season is a little steep, but, it's not my money, so i don't care. as for DiDi Gregorius, he has the impossible task of replacing Derek Jeter. i like the kid, watched him play minor league baseball in Dayton. hopefully he plays great defense and simply hits just enough. if the old fucks in the lineup do their jobs, DiDi will not be a problem. if they are relying on him for his bat, the Yankees will be mediocre like last season.
this is going to be a short one today as i need to get started on dinner. i'll be on here in the morning tomorrow as my afternoon will be another clusterfuck of sports.
i hope everyone has a great Friday night and a wonderful weekend. remember, only fuck the ones that cough and never shit in your own yard.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

no longer blind
i got my new glasses today. the change from my old ones was pretty fucking drastic. i now know just how fucking blind i am without them. these things have improved my vision greatly. i could tell the second i put them on. of course, i'll soon have a headache from all of this.
mom has been sick for nearly all of today. so, i basically have been playing the good son.
i'm still missing the package for her for Christmas. i actually got a package today that had stuff i ordered in it. at least that's a good sign. i got pretty fucking creative this Christmas.
the Dayton Flyers won last night down in that dump in Oxford, Ohio. they had a nice lead in the second half that they nearly shitted away. thankfully, they made enough plays down the stretch to win, 66-62. here are some highlights, voiced over by the head coach. i love a coach that puts the blame on himself. a great way to take pressure off of your players.
Lucha Underground was excellent once again last night. here are some highlights from that:
American Horror Story was awesome last night. the way they are killing off characters this season is delightful. i can't wait for the episode next week.
not sure what i'm going to watch tonight. i'm sure mom will want to watch that live Peter Pan production on NBC. i'm pretty sure i'll stick to the football game.
i need to make sure i check my rosters for tonight, i've got some injury concerns for fantasy football. this is the last week of the regular season in the leagues i'm in.
that's pretty much all for me today. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your time.

adventures at the post office
today was one of those days where i just marveled at the incompetence of certain human beings. how a package with my address ends up in a post office 40 miles away from me is apparently a mystery to everyone involved. if it did end up at the wrong post office, it's supposedly on a truck going back to another city to be rerouted to the correct address. this is the special kind of stupid. of course, i found at today at the post office i have my PO Box at, they don't actually look at the addresses. they simply scan everything as delivered and then sort them. how anything gets to the right address is simply a game of chance i guess. and these assholes wonder why everyone sends shit online now. so, now i have to check in the morning to see if the package has been re-scanned somewhere. what pisses me off more is this is one of my mother's Christmas presents. amazingly, one for my sister came today and last i checked, it hasn't even been shipped yet according to amazon.com. this is going to be a crazy fucking Christmas, i can already feel it coming on.
i did watch The Voice last night. i guess the horny housewives got their wish, they voted the last woman off of the show. i have a feeling Matt from Team Adam is going to win it all this year, unless Adam somehow fucks it up (like he has done before).
the Dayton Flyers play on the road tonight at the alma mater of my mother and sister. no tv for the game, so i will be going old school and listening to it on the radio. hopefully i will be drinking a victory beer later tonight.
also tonight i'm planning on watching Lucha Underground and American Horror Story.
saw this last night and laughed pretty good:
i heard from the muse last night. we hadn't talked for a few weeks. it sounded like she is doing well. she did express her worries for me with the upcoming move. i appreciated it, though i think my cage needs to be rattled a bit. and nothing will do that better than making me live around people again for the first time in 17 years. it truly will be a sink or swim type moment. thankfully, i haven't been afraid of death since i was a child.
that's all for me today. thanks again for letting me waste a few minutes of your time.

adrift in a bloody fog
it certainly goes without saying, i've had better days here on earth. i fell right back into my old routines last night, not getting to bed until well after 5 AM this morning. i shaved, got my shower in, did the dishes, talked to a woman in Colombia, watched way too much porn and indie wrestling videos until i ran out of gas. of course, 4 hours later i was up. that's the life of this poet.
then, i had my first shit of the day. it crept up on me while i was doing my laundry. thankfully, i made it to the bathroom. and when i looked at what was in the bowl, i knew the rest of my day was going to be miserable. just my luck, my back started to give out about 25 minutes into this process. just fucking lovely. and there was just enough moisture in the air that my arthritis was flaring up as well. these are the days when a little demon pops up on my shoulder and reminds me that men MUCH greater than i am have killed themselves, what am i waiting for?...
so, imagine the joy of doing the rest of my laundry, going into town to get the mail, eating lunch, watching sports, etc... all while knowing my asshole is bleeding. good times.
thankfully, Manchester United lifted my spirits a bit today. they won 2-1 over Stoke City. given that Rooney nor Di Maria played today, i'm pleased with the result. they are slowly turning the corner to becoming a top 4 team again. here's the game in a GIF:
as for last night, the New York Rangers were up 3-2 and had just killed off a 5 on 3 power play when they suddenly just went to shit. 4 straight goals over the next 30 minutes for Tampa Bay and the Rangers lose 6-3. thank fucking god we don't play that team again this season. and god willing, we won't see them in the playoffs either.
Monday Night Raw was quite honestly just about 3 hours of filler. i was so fucking bored that i actually fell asleep during the main event.
The Voice was good last night. i saw bits and pieces of the performances last night and this morning on YouTube. while many of them were good, nothing really blew my mind. i suppose i'm still bitter about the results from last week. i'm interested to see who gets voted off tonight.
i ended up ending my 6 game losing streak with my one fantasy football team. of course, my other team had their 8 game winning streak stopped in the other league i'm in. but, that team did qualify for the playoffs, so that goal is accomplished.
i heard back from Russell at The Camel Saloon on my poetry submission from yesterday. he passed on what i sent. back to the drawing board i suppose. but, that certainly fits with how my day was going.
that's all for me today. i'm off to go ice down my back and figure out what to eat for dinner.
thanks again for allowing me to waste some of your precious time.

i ended up ending my 6 game losing streak with my one fantasy football team. of course, my other team had their 8 game winning streak stopped in the other league i'm in. but, that team did qualify for the playoffs, so that goal is accomplished.
i heard back from Russell at The Camel Saloon on my poetry submission from yesterday. he passed on what i sent. back to the drawing board i suppose. but, that certainly fits with how my day was going.
that's all for me today. i'm off to go ice down my back and figure out what to eat for dinner.
thanks again for allowing me to waste some 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...

back into the cold
it was damn near 60 degrees yesterday and i woke up this morning and it was around 32. welcome to December.
yesterday was pretty good for me, other than one of my fantasy football teams shitting the bed. plus, my fantasy hockey team came back to earth, so i made some changes on that. but, in real world type shit, it was a good day.
i got all the trash down to the end of the lane without completely destroying my back. plus, i wedged it all together good enough that the wind didn't blow any away.
the New Orleans Saints shocked the shit out of me and just about everyone else by going to Pittsburgh and beating the Steelers 35-32. they actually looked like the Saints team i was expecting to see this season. of course, the fucking Falcons won as well, so there is still a tie at the top of the sorry ass division. hopefully they can make a playoff run and continue to shock the world. and no, i didn't call my sister to rub it in that the Saints beat her team.
The Newsroom was excellent last night. only two more episodes left in the series.
i did get some sleep last night as i wanted to make sure i was up this morning when my mother had to leave to go to Columbus.
of course, she hasn't called, so i'm assuming she made it there. i figure if i don't hear from her by this evening, i'll have to start blowing up phones.
so, since i'm home alone until tomorrow night, today was a day of poetry and porn. just like the old days.
i sent out 19 poems today, 5 each to Nerve Cowboy and W.I.S.H. (Walking Is Still Honest) and 3 each to Pyrokinection, The Camel Saloon, and Dead Snakes. when i hear back from these places i'll pass along the verdicts.
tonight is my usual clusterfuck. the New York Rangers play at home tonight against Tampa. it's a very important game as the Rangers need to prove to themselves that they can beat this team. or at the very least, someone put the former captain through the fucking boards for a change. The Voice has the top 8 performing tonight. not sure how much i will watch as i will be watching Monday Night Raw. i'm interested to see how many CM Punk chants break out tonight. also, i'll be watching the Men in Blazers show on NBCSN. throw on top of all that the Monday Night Football game and you can see why i need the Elvis wall of televisions. at least i have been told that we will be getting a DVR when we move. so, at least part of me will be entering the 21st century.
at some point tonight i need to shower, so i'm guessing it will be one of my notorious 2 in the morning showers.
mom just called so at least i know she made it up there.
that's all for me today. i hope everyone had a great weekend. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your 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.

to the other side of reality... in the rain of course
yesterday was very long. and while it was much better than the previous days were for me, i'm still fucking drained from everything.
i got up early enough to get some email work done before Manchester United came on. thankfully, United played an excellent game, winning 3-0. of course, seeing that this is the year of the injury for them, Di Maria left the game early with a hamstring injury. he's already been ruled out of the game on Tuesday. hopefully, that's all he misses, but i doubt it. it was nice to see Rooney and RVP score again in the same game. hopefully the team has turned the corner to a great season.
about 45 minutes before we were supposed to leave to go to the basketball game, my mother tells me that she doesn't want to go. so, before i could find someone else to go with, she asks my sister to go. my sister said yes, which surprised me after our blowout the day before. but, i figured i'd rather be interested in what happens than be at the game alone. we were very civil with each other and i think the tensions eased as the game went along. Dayton did their part, destroying UIC 75-41. below are the highlights:
we were going to go out to eat after the game but everywhere was fucking packed. so we just came home. back at home, i was able to see what happened in the games i missed while at the basketball game.
Ohio State beat the team i fucking hate, 42-28, but it came with a severe injury. their star QB, who set the BIG Ten record for touchdowns in a season earlier in the game, broke his ankle and is done for the year. now, Ohio State will have to use their 3rd string QB for the Big Ten title game against Wisconsin. not sure how they are going to pull that one off, but at least they kept the team i fucking hate from getting to a bowl game.
the New York Rangers swept the home and home with Philadelphia, winning 5-2. i got to see a quick replay of the game last night. i did enjoy the chants from the fans in the 3rd period of YOU CAN'T BEAT US. that made me laugh. and it was good to see some of the kids score yesterday. below are the highlights:
i really enjoyed those 4 victory beers yesterday. by the time i finished the fourth one, i was actually feeling pretty good.
ROH last night was excellent. i really enjoyed the match between Adam Cole and Matt Sydal. i thought the show did a pretty good job of setting up the next ppv.
i did watch some of the other college football games last night. that Alabama vs. Auburn game was fucking nuts.
my sister made it home last night. i think we are on pretty good terms at the moment. at the very least, i think we both have a better understanding of where each of us are in our lives. that's better than it was before.
today is going to be a day of trash removal, football, and hopefully some rest.
the New Orleans Saints play today at the Steelers (who happen to be my sister's favorite team). i don't like the Saints chances.
the only other thing on tonight that i'm really interested in is The Newsroom. the Showtime shows are off this week. so, that means i may actually get some sleep tonight.
i have a ton of trash to pick up and take down the lane. and of course, it is raining. this will be fun with my bad back.
hope everyone is having a great weekend. thanks again to all of you for letting me waste a few minutes of your 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.

the fun in dysfunctional...
here's the rare right before i go to bed blog. i'm mostly writing this because i know i will be busy as fuck in a few hours and the last 12 hours of my life i need to get off my chest.
nothing says time with the family like my sister and i screaming at each other at the top of our lungs. add to it my mother screaming over both of us to shut the fuck up and you can clearly paint the picture of family fun. and to imagine it all started because i told my sister it was my mother's choice if she wanted to get rid of a handbag or not. that lead to the usual saying shit you didn't really mean until i had had enough and decided to unload on everyone. this took me to a pretty dark place as it all goes back to me being molested as a child and just completely feeling like no one in my family has ever given a shit about it. i still laugh at my sister asking me what she was supposed to do. she was dumbfounded when i walked up to her and said all you had to do was put your arm around me and tell me everything was going to be ok. i went to my room and more or less wrote my suicide note. now, before you get concerned and run to call the cops, i'm not close to doing anything crazy. i just figured since i was in the dark place i might as well try to get something out of it. and boy did i. i must say, it is probably the coldest ending to a poem i have EVER written. now, the crazy thing will be when i send out to possibly be published and it gets rejected. i'm not sure how i'm going to feel if that happens. anywho, later in the evening, before dinner, my mother asked me to come into the room and speak to my sister. i tried to be the adult and calmly let my sister know that she gives me the vibe that i'm nothing more than a piece of shit since i don't make money and contribute to the world like she does. she more or less said i am. then, she dug the hole that i'm using my mother and my stepfather's death as a crutch and not doing anything with my life. if i truly was the piece of shit she thinks i am, i would have punched her in the face after that one. but, i was playing the adult after all. so, long story short, i asked my sister to simply give me the illusion that she gives a shit and i will try to be a better brother. i think we both know, she's not capable of even doing that. so, i can't wait until Christmas.
thankfully, the New York Rangers were a bright spot to my day, beating the Flyers 3-0 in Philly. congrats to Marty St. Louis on getting his 1,000th point in the game. the teams play in New York later on Saturday. i will miss most of the game because of the basketball game i will be at, but hopefully it goes just like today's game. here are the highlights:
Saturday is shaping up to be a busy ass sports day for me. Manchester United plays in the morning. i took my shower tonight so i can watch the game. shortly after that is done, Ohio State plays the team i fucking hate. but, soon after that starts, mom and i will be leaving to go to the Dayton Flyers game against UIC. and while we're at UD Arena, i'll be checking on the football game and the Rangers hockey game. hopefully when we get back home, i can start enjoying some victory beers.
i did catch Sonic Highways earlier tonight on HBO. another excellent episode. it truly took me back to the 90's for sure. it was kind of eerie as a good chunk of the episode was about Kurt Cobain's suicide. and given the events of my day, that certainly hit me hard. next week is the series finale. the show will be about New York City. that should be awesome.
i'm pretty sure there is no new Saturday Night Live this week, so all i'll be watching late Saturday night is a new episode of ROH.
the high school i went to lost in the state playoffs earlier tonight. first senior class that hasn't made it to the finals in 5 years. i feel sorry for those guys as that will be on them for the rest of their lives.
that's all for me. maybe i'll actually get some sleep tonight. i'll be on here sometime on Sunday with the complete rundown of my crazy ass Saturday. i hope everyone has a great weekend. hopefully yours has a little less screaming in it.
thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

and then reality sets in...
yesterday went pretty good, all things considered. i only got into it with my sister once. i benched the right players in fantasy football (except for you, you asshole Tony Romo). and, there was a ton of shit removed from the house to take to Goodwill. that should make the move a little easier.
my mother and sister are out and about at the moment. hopefully my mother remembers to take it easy and don't get stressed. being with my sister, i'm not sure that's possible.
i did get about 90% of my Christmas shopping done yesterday. hopefully it all gets here in one piece. with all the gift cards and codes, i think i spent around $100. not too bad. i'm thinking of what to come up with for my fans and friends. i'm toying with doing some watercolors and cutting them up into a puzzle. if i do anything, all that will be going out in early December.
i did hear back from The Kitchen Poet on my poetry submission from back in August. they decided to pass as they are too backlogged at the moment. so, now i really have a nice size batch of poems to go through for the next round of submissions.
i got 2 of the 3 football games wrong yesterday. thankfully, those games don't count in the one pick 'em i play for money.
the New York Rangers start a home and home against Philly this afternoon. the hot rumor at the moment is the Rangers will be getting their captain back today. if so, that will go a LONG way to solving their defensive problems. hopefully i'll be enjoying a victory beer this afternoon.
i do plan on getting most of my poetry work done this afternoon as i will have no fucking time this weekend to do it.
sorry to cut this short, but i have a ton of trash to get out of the house, cats to feed, and a fantasy hockey roster to go check.
of course, i could go on bitching forever about the baseboard heaters that stopped working this morning in our great room.
by the way, i did FINALLY get to listen to the CM Punk interview yesterday with Colt Cabana. if the WWE's medical staff really did allow him to wrestle with a staph infection for 3 months, they all should be fired. and i'm really happy that Punk has found happiness and is free from the bullshit of the company. hopefully i get to see him in a ring one day again, but if it never happens, he left me with some great fucking memories. and honestly, i think he'll have more fun writing comic books than battling sloppy wrestlers.
ok, now i'm finished. thanks again to all 3 of you for allowing me to waste your precious time. i hope everyone has a great weekend.

giving thanks
my back is killing me at the moment, my shitty internet is slower than my death at the moment, and the heater in this room smells like it's either going to catch on fire or is slowly leaking out poison.
happy thanksgiving.
the New York Rangers pissed away so many chances last night and kept giving one of the best power plays in the league chances to kill them. and that's what they did. and once AGAIN, it was the Rangers former captain, Ryan Callahan, that did most of the damage. maybe his former teammates think he's still on the team. Rangers lost 4-3.
at least Lucha Underground was excellent once again last night.
as for today, my sister was down here before i was even awake. amazingly, that was over 3 hours ago and we still haven't spoke. and you wonder why i don't like holidays. i do plan on watching a ton of football today and most likely getting my laundry done. and if today goes as planned, i will try to get most of my Christmas shopping done today. i do about 95% of it online.
i still have the cats to go feed, so i guess i should put on some pants.
thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

the day before i ignore my family for hours...
ask anyone that knows me, i dislike holidays just about as much as anyone can. now, i can play the role of the polite guy, or friendly guy, or even pretend i'm happy to be here guy. i simply choose not to on most holidays. now, considering in a few months i will be moving next door to family... i certainly hope the door to my new room has a lock on it.
i did happen to write 3 poems last night before i went to bed. i typed them up this morning and i really like them. even the one i wrote about Bill Cosby is good. so, the fun task is now figuring out where i'm going to send them. i'll probably do that sometime in the next few days.
i was really shocked on who got voted off The Voice last night until i thought about it this morning. i remember how American Idol got ruined by women in their late 20's to late 40's voting for the guy they'd like to fuck rather than the person with the most talent. so, considering there is only one female left on The Voice this season, i think the same shit is happening again. but, it's probably the best thing that could happen to Reagan. she's too talented at 16 to not make it somewhere.
tonight, the New York Rangers are playing down in Tampa. it will be the first game back in Tampa for Marty St. Louis. it should be interesting. hopefully they win, but i won't have my hopes up. this trip is usually a fucking disaster.
also tonight, Lucha Underground will have a new episode on. i'm really looking forward to that.
had a nice long talk with my friend from California today. she's battling double pneumonia right now, but her spirits sounded good. hopefully she gets better soon.
my thoughts and prayers are with my friend Paul. his dad had another heart attack. he's a tough old fucker, so hopefully he battles back from it.
i imagine i will be on here in the morning tomorrow. my sister will be down to watch the parades, so i'll be on the computer switching from fantasy football to porn. we all have our Thanksgiving traditions i suppose.
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...

one step closer to being blind
so i had an interesting time at the eye doctor today. i was getting my yearly checkup, being a good boy. well, it turns out my right eye has gotten significantly worse since last year. and, when they did the digital images of my eyes, there was a spot on my left eye. the doctor said it could be pigment, could be nothing, could be something, only time will tell. so, like the cynical asshole i am, i immediately add it to the list of things that will kill me; blood clots in my left leg and both lungs and now a spot on my left eye... good times. but, i do get new glasses and sunglasses out of all this. of course, my health insurance doesn't cover vision, so as mom told me when she wrote out the check for nearly $700, merry christmas. but, at least i'll see better (hopefully).
i was not expecting this kind of news today. so, you can take a guess what i'll be writing about tonight in my next writing session.
i spent a little time on NoiseTrade today getting some FREE music. i'll post the links below.
the New Orleans Saints disappointed the shit out of me last night, losing their third straight home game 34-27. but, thanks to being in the worst division i can EVER remember in the NFL, they still have a chance at making the playoffs. this is turning into an AWFUL season.
sure enough, my fantasy team did lose that lead last night and ended up losing by 20. funny thing is, if i would have played ANY other team in the league, i would have won. good times.
The Voice was pretty good last night. two performances blew me away...
and then, BY FAR, the BEST performance of the season...
i'll be watching tonight to see who makes the top 10. i think there are about 5 that are absolute locks...
Monday Night Raw was ok at best. i did love that Daniel Bryan was back on television. and i loved the match between Dean Ambrose and Luke Harper and then Bray Wyatt, but that was about it. to have that shitty of a show after a major ppv is sad. of course, this all means The Authority will come back to save us from ourselves and then we'll all understand that Survivor Series was mostly pointless.
Gotham was GREAT last night. i am truly loving this show. sadly, it doesn't come back on until January. but, that does free up by Monday nights a bit for the next few months.
Men in Blazers was pretty funny.
not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. i may have to take my mother shopping for Thanksgiving shit. i'm guessing i'll be back on here in the afternoon after i hopefully type up a few fresh poems.
thanks to everyone for allowing me to waste some 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.

a sucker punch from mother nature
so, this is how my morning started out. my back was killing me as the cold front was coming through. and then after seeing my mother off to her appointments for the day, this fucking shit happened out at the farm:
the beauty of all this is the wind is still fucking blowing, nearly 12 hours later. i have no clue how much this is going to cost to fix this, but i'm pretty sure there's going to be two numbers to the left of the comma. i can't wait to get rid of this place.
i haven't done much today other than try to sleep and forget about the morning. thankfully, my Sunday was much better.
my friend Paul came over to watch some of the early football games. for most of the time, we ended up watching some soccer from Italy. he doesn't have all the channels i do. that was a fun time.
he left before the Dayton Flyers took on Boston College. Dayton played pretty damn good, leading for nearly the entire game. i do like how they finished the game on a strong run. that's a great sign from a team playing their 3rd game in 4 days. here are some highlights from the 65-53 win.
after that, the New York Rangers destroyed Montreal 5-0. easily, the most complete game the Rangers have played all season. here are the highlights:
the Sunday night shows were excellent. The Newsroom was great. Homeland was holy fucking shit great. and The Affair was great as well. i could have watched all 3 of those shows all night long, that's how good they were.
tonight is my usual clusterfuck on television. i'll be bouncing between two football games (including the Saints at home against the Ravens. MUST FUCKING WIN TIME BOYS), Monday Night Raw, The Voice, and Gotham. i'll probably watch wrestling since they are coming off a very newsworthy ppv. of course, that means i'll be using YouTube late tonight to see what i missed on the other shows. also tonight, i'm going to try to squeeze in the Men in Blazers show on NBCSN.
my fantasy football teams did pretty good yesterday. i'm still convinced that the 3-8 team that has a 19 point lead going into tonight is going to find a way to blow it. but, i have won the other game by 49 points. that team is now 9-3.
that's all for me today. i'll be on here tomorrow after my appointment at the eye doctor. i'm interested to see just how fucking blind i am these days.
hope everyone had a great weekend. if not, blame it on Bill Cosby. i have a poem swimming in my head about him that could be fucking great.

the great melt...
you wouldn't know if had snowed here and we just had a week of fuck it's cold temps. there is only one spot on the farm that still has a little snow on it. i slept like shit last night, of course, it's not great sleeping weather when it's 50 degrees at 2 in the morning. not when you've got used to it being 20 or less at that time.
i did get everything i wanted to get done done yesterday. i'm paying for it today. my back is hurting like a motherfucker. i still have to pick up the trash and feed the cats today. needless to say, i'll be taking my sweet ass time.
Manchester United got a HUGE road win yesterday, beating Arsenal 2-1. first road win of the season. it also stops Arsenal's 23 game home unbeaten streak. i really hope this is the moment where this team starts to take off. given all the damn injuries, the sky is the limit if/when the others players come back healthy. the win yesterday put them back in the top 4. now, they need to finish there.
Ohio State got off to a great start yesterday and then struggled. struggled so much that they were trailing at one point. thankfully, they woke the fuck up to win 42-27. they play the school i fucking hate next week. if they win that game, the school i fucking hate won't qualify for a bowl game this year. i will be fucking jacked for that one. with the win yesterday, Ohio State has clinched a spot in the Big 10 title game.
i did type up the 4 poems yesterday. all 4 are good. i REALLY like 2 of them. i think i'm going to try to squeeze in another writing session this month and then send out some poems early next month.
i bounced between some college football and hockey last night. and then after a much needed shower, i settled in for Saturday Night Live and ROH. i thought SNL was pretty good in spots. this one skit had me fucking laughing my ass off:
and then this one:
the rest of the show was mostly hit and miss for me.
as for ROH, another excellent episode. the match between AJ Styles and Hanson was awesome.
the Saints don't play until Monday night, so i'll be basically bouncing between games today. mostly, just following my fantasy players most likely.
later today the Dayton Flyers take on Boston College in the 3rd place game down in Puerto Rico. that will basically go right into the New York Rangers taking on Montreal tonight. hopefully i'll be enjoying two victory beers later this evening.
tonight i'll be watching The Newsroom, Homeland, and The Affair. hopefully all three of those episodes will be good.
and then, hopefully some good sleep.
i'll be on here tomorrow sometime in the afternoon. we're supposed to get some rain tonight and tomorrow. that should make the mud even more interesting.
hope everyone is having a great weekend. thanks again for allowing me to waste some 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.

freezing rain, back pain, words going down the drain...
i woke up this morning and as soon as i rolled over in bed, i knew it was raining outside. my back felt like two elephants decided to fuck on it all night long. but not typical elephant style, but more like some twisted kama sutra type shit. thankfully? the temps are supposed to rise today so the rain won't be freezing for very long. of course, this also means the snow and ice will melt. so, the farm will be a joyous pit of mud before too long.
i did watch Sonic Highways last night on HBO. another great episode. i think the reason i have never been to New Orleans is the simple fact that i KNOW i would never leave. it's almost earned some like mythical stature in my head actually. perhaps i'll go there sometime before my poor ass dies. as for the Foo Fighters song at the end, i wish it would've had some horns or some tribute to jazz in it.
today is going to be a busy ass day for me. besides all the sports, i have a ton of dishes to do (i'm lazy), two toilets to clean (still lazy), 4 poems to type up (the words finally came out last night), and finally start the process of deciding what the fuck i'm going to take with me when we move. i have a feeling i might try to sell some shit. or, i'm going to be investing in some of those good plastic storage tubs as we'll have a ton of storage out in the attached garage at the new house. i haven't lived anywhere with an attached garage since i was 21. to think that i won't have to walk over ice and snow and mud and shit and dead animals to start a vehicle is pretty much foreign to me now.
Ohio State plays at home this afternoon against Indiana. they are 34 point favorites. hopefully, the game is never close, because at the same time...
Manchester United is playing at Arsenal. United has so many injuries right now that i have no clue who is even going to play for them. hopefully, i'll be enjoying two victory beers later in the afternoon.
also tonight, i'm hoping to watch Saturday Night Live and ROH. sometime before that, i have to squeeze in a shower. this is one of those days where i'm going to test just how much i can get done in 24 hours while dealing with a bad back.maybe i should go lay naked in a snow pile before it melts.
enjoy that visual.
that's all for me now. i have to get the trash out and get something done before the games come on at noon. plus, i guess the cats would like to eat.
hopefully the fucking newspaper is in plastic this morning.
i do hope everyone has a great weekend. may all your sports teams do well, or may you get to see your favorite play or movie or concert, or maybe she/he will fuck you for free this time.
thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

i think i figured out how i will die one day...
ask anyone that knows me, and one of the first things they will say about me is my passion for sports. it's rather uncommon for some guy who also writes poems, dabbles in photography and watercolors. you should see the looks i get when i talk about my love of Tori Amos in the same breath as Slayer. so, as i was screaming at the television this afternoon about some HORRIFIC officiating, i believe i have figured out how i will die. screaming at some blind fuck for an obvious bad call. now, what i don't know is if this will happen at home or at a game. i'm thinking the poems and the art may sell better if it happens in public. of course, knowing my luck, some fucker there will know CPR and save my life and i'll get to be in poverty forever. good times.
as you might imagine, Dayton lost today to UConn 75-64. the game was pretty damn close for 36 minutes. then, the refs decided Dayton was getting too close to Jesus Boatright, UConn's best player. now, his first name isn't Jesus, but don't tell that to the officials. of course, it doesn't help that Dayton went ice cold in the second half as well. oh well, they play again on Sunday against the loser of Boston College vs. West Virginia. as much as i would like to play WV (their best player used to play at Dayton) i don't see it happening.
last night, The Big Bang Theory was good. i'm a little surprised the show can still make me laugh after all these years.
i picked the football game wrong last night but my fantasy player did pretty good. i have a 10 point lead in the game that i give a shit about. i figure i'll start winning in the other league now that i don't care.
tonight, since the Rangers game isn't happening because of the end of the world type snow in Buffalo, it will be some channel hopping until Sonic Highways comes on. i believe this episode is about the visit to New Orleans. i'm really looking forward to this one.
i spent some time on NoiseTrade this morning. decided i needed some "new" music to listen. i found 3 great albums that i will post links to below. nothing beats FREE music.
i've got some words swimming in my head. i was floating some around last night before i eventually fell asleep. that usually means i've got some poems coming. and hopefully they come tonight.
i'll be on here tomorrow in the morning. seeing that Manchester United and Ohio State play at the same time tomorrow, i'll be fucking crazy most of the day. so you'll get the calm before the storm.
hope everyone has a great weekend. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

the hawk is out tonight
so, how do i sum up my busy ass day in less than 15 minutes. not sure...
last night was a good one. the New York Rangers finally played like the team i know them to be. a crisp 2-0 win over the Flyers. that was a sweet victory beer.
Lucha Underground was very good once again. i wish other "indies" would copy what they are doing.
American Horror Story was excellent last night. sadly, the show will not be seen again until December. damn holidays.
Metallica gave a GREAT performance last night on The Late Late Show...
i got up this morning feeling good. a few hours later, the Dayton Flyers made me feel better. the game was bowling shoe ugly. but, thankfully, Dayton is now full of guys that know how to win ugly. a nice 55-53 win over Texas A&M. they advance down in Puerto Rico to play UCONN tomorrow afternoon. that should be a good one. if they can pull off the upset in that, they'll be in the championship game. highlights below:
mom and i went out this afternoon to get all the shopping done. she's found out that with her disease, changes in temperatures really fuck with her. and since it's going to go from the single digits to the 50's this weekend, i figured we better get all the shopping done today. amazingly, we did. it didn't take long, mostly because i didn't allow my mother to stray from the plan. get in. get out. good times.
tonight i'm hoping to watch The Big Bang Theory and some football. i have a RB going in the game for my good fantasy team.
was saddened to see that Mike Nichols died. if you don't know who i'm talking about, please go educate yourself. http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/20/showbiz/obit-mike-nichols/index.html
that's all for me today. i'll be on tomorrow after the Dayton game. the heating and air guy comes tomorrow to service the furnace. of course it would be the day after a night in the single digits.
hope everyone is warm. 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...

last night was a good one. the New York Rangers finally played like the team i know them to be. a crisp 2-0 win over the Flyers. that was a sweet victory beer.
Lucha Underground was very good once again. i wish other "indies" would copy what they are doing.
