leap day...

 well, the plan for doing some writing today pretty much ended with my first step out of bed. my back more or less decided it hates me and i have been dealing with that all day long. so yeah, i guess it was a maintenance day. joy.

the New York Rangers won last night at home against Columbus, 4-1. they are the first team in the NHL this season to get to 40 wins.

response from Disturb the Universe Magazine...

 i heard back from Skaja at Disturb the Universe Magazine on my poetry submission from earlier this month. my poems "in this cold weather", "a good dramatic goodbye" and "racking up the points" have been accepted for publication.

trying to sleep during a tornado warning...

 so, we had some storms rumble through here last night. i didn't get to sleep until the big line of thunderstorms that produced tornados got through the area. once i didn't hear any sirens, i knew i could go to sleep. but shit, i was up 3 hours later to put the trash out. it was probably 40 fucking degrees colder today than it was yesterday. good times.

the cover to our phone box outside on the house blew off in the storm. thankfully, the guy from Spectrum actually found it in the field behind us and bolted it on so it wouldn't come off again. Luke was probably the best Spectrum worker we have ever had out here. we also lost a wind chime in the storm. i found most of that in the yard. it was too mangled to try to save, so that went in the trash. 

grocery shopping was a bit of a chore today. good news i guess, i think i have lost weight. my only clue was my pants kept falling down. good times. i got everything on the list and was home a little later than i wanted to be. but, i did get to watch most of the second half of the Manchester United game.

United was playing at Nottingham Forest today in the FA Cup. winner goes to the quarterfinals. thankfully, United won it late on a Casemiro header to win 1-0. the reward is to play Liverpool in the next round. great.

the Dayton Flyers won last night at home against Davidson, 80-66.

here are your videos for this day of Black History Month:

one of those days where you feel like you are in a song by the Cowboy Junkies...

 if that title has you puzzled, this is the song i was thinking of:

i do nothing but toss and turn at night these days. i try to write out the pain and nothing comes. i guess i'm trying to get water from a rock again. i know there is rain on the way. my back told me that as soon as i got out of bed. joy.

 now, it wasn't as much sleep as i needed, but i'm pretty sure i got a good 5 hours or so. i needed it after yesterday. hell, i took a shower last night and basically fell asleep after i got dressed. good times.

response from Synchronized Chaos...

 i heard back from Cristina at Synchronized Chaos on my recent poetry submission. my poems "the right to die", "it was better to be realistic", "that likes to play with knives", "trying to be civilized" and "drive a mercedes" have been accepted for publication.

anger still exists on just 2 hours of sleep...

 so, i got up at 3:30 this morning. i guess the nap i got in the afternoon rested me more than i thought. so, i was able to watch WWE Elimination Chamber live this morning. it was a better show than i was expecting to be honest. and that made it well worth my time.

and then came the Manchester United game. i was fearful that without their best striker they would struggle to score. sure enough. they were second best all fucking game to Fulham, a team they honestly should never lose to. they lost 2-1, after Harry Maguire equalized late in the game. United gave up the winner in the 97th minute. i wish i would have just chosen to go back to bed than watch that shit.

we got a glorified dusting of snow by the way.

here are your videos for this day of Black History Month:

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.

AEW Rampage was good last night.

the New York Rangers play this afternoon at Philadelphia. they will hopefully get their 10th straight win today.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

response from Horror Sleaze Trash...

 i heard back from AG at Horror Sleaze Trash on my recent poetry submission. my poems "all part of the plan" and "if i was a wiser man" have been accepted for publication.

so, it is going to snow again...

 i guess we're supposed to get some snow overnight. if i actually get up in time to see the WWE event in Australia, i might actually see it snowing. not that i am looking forward to it. it shouldn't last long with the temperatures we've been having.

my back was in so much pain this morning/afternoon that when i put some ice on it i think i drifted off into a mini coma. i know i must have slept for a few hours. i needed it.

the New York Rangers won last night at New Jersey, 5-1. that's 9 wins in a row. i'm trying to not get ahead of myself, but i am definitely getting the 1994 vibes again.

here are your videos for this day of Black History Month:

Young Sheldon was good last night.

NJPW was really good last night.

here are your highlights from the NBA last night:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and AEW Rampage. i will watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

the WWE Elimination Chamber pre-show starts at 4AM since the event is in Australia. if my insomnia truly kicks in, i will probably watch that as well.

i noticed today our glass rain gauge had broken. so, i picked up the broken glass and of course cut my fucking thumb. no good deed...

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow. most likely, it will be after Manchester United plays Fulham.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

the rain isn't helping...

 today has been all about managing pain and frustration. i'd like to think i would get a gold star today. so, a little after 9 this morning, i called Rite Aid because i knew i was going to run out of a pill by tonight. i already had a new prescription for it on hold, so i wanted them to fill it. the lady on the phone said the insurance isn't willing to pay for it until March 1st. well shit. i mentioned something about GoodRx and they said they will try it but it has been giving them problems today so far. they insisted that i call my insurance company and get them to override it. so, after i ate breakfast, i called the insurance company. what a fucking waste of time. i got transferred 3 times and none of the people were someone i actually needed to talk to. all of them said that Rite Aid should call to get the override. so, after all that bullshit, i called Rite Aid back up. i told them what the insurance company said and they said well, that isn't how it normally happens. anyway, we were able to run it through GoodRx and it will be ready in a few minutes. sure enough, i got a text 3 minutes later that it was ready. i went to Rite Aid and picked it up and got back home before all the rain came today. gold fucking star.

and now we get to the Dayton Flyers. what pisses me off the most about how Anthony Grant coaches is none of his teams (except for perhaps the 29-2 team that got robbed right before the pandemic) ever play as good as they can. they always tend to play down to the competition. and rightly so, they will get burned doing this when the attention to detail doesn't exist. last night was the perfect example. rebounding is all about want to. defending without fouling is all about sticking to fundamentals. Dayton got destroyed on both of those. and it wasn't that George Mason is any fucking good, trust me, they aren't, it is all about how Dayton is pissing away the great opportunity they had this season. i hope that they actually drop out of the top 25. that would be the fucking wake up call they need. Dayton lost 71-67. they were actually up by 6 at halftime. i guess maybe they shouldn't have let George Mason go on a 19-0 run in the second half. fuck me.

poetry update

 so, i had a outbreak of poems last night. i had to do something to get my mind from the pain. i ended up writing 5 new ones, which all went out today. i just sent out 15 poems, 5 each to Synchronized Chaos, Horror Sleaze Trash and The Asylum Floor. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

somedays the back just says no...

 i think i must have turned the wrong way or something while getting out of bed. my back has been fighting me all damn day. and since i am stubborn and a glutton for punishment and love my pain tolerance, i went on with my day. that was when my lipoma decided it wanted some fucking attention today. i remembered when my doctor first diagnosed it, he told me it really is nothing unless it attaches to a nerve or wraps around something. well, guess what the fuck i was feeling today. between every step and my back was firing off pain messages and then every few seconds or so, my lipoma brushed up against a nerve ending and that was fucking fun. i'm guessing i probably looked like i was getting ready to have a stroke in the grocery store today. it never fails, every positive i take for myself or whatever, the opposite has to rear its fucking head, just because. fuck me.

here are your videos for this day of Black History Month:

the softest hands i have ever felt...

 so, i decided to get some shit done today. i shaved for the first time in months. i actually took five inches off of my goatee. when it gets long enough to be in my food, i know it is time to cut it back. i had to go to Kroger to return the conditioner i got for mom. she wanted a different kind. i figured once i got that done i would go to Great Clips and get my haircut. there was a bit of a wait at Great Clips even though i signed in online. as the shuffle worked out, Trinity was the one to cut my hair. she is this beautiful light skinned black woman that has the softest hands i have ever felt on my skin in my life. for that alone, she was going to get a good tip. i gave her a $10 tip on a $20 haircut. she was happy. i sent a pic of the new me to the muse. her response made me laugh. hell is going to freeze over. that made my day.
