oh, hello frustration, there you are...

 being a Type 2 diabetic is already frustrating enough. and then i started using the drug Trulicity, and i lost a little weight, my numbers started getting better, etc. so, of course, once the rich found out that these drugs actually worked on losing weight, they started hoarding them. now, the manufacturer has no Trulicity. i haven't had it for almost a month now. i know any progress i made on my A1C is lost now. Friday will be the actual acknowledgement of that. i can't wait to see what drug they are going to try to put me on next. mom told me not to worry about the cost. i laughed as i know all the money spent now will be money that won't be there when she dies and i'll need it. as i joked with her yesterday at her doctor's appointment when she asked what i wanted to do with all this and my immediate response was die. i told her if you actually look at all this logically, my death clears most of this shit up. and no one would have to worry about my A1C if i'm dead. she told me to stop it, but i could see in her eyes, she knew i was right. so yeah, should be a really fucking fun summer. and don't worry, i definitely have no plans to die before my new book with C. Renee Kiser comes out. after that though...

here are your highlights from Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final. i believe Florida is starting to panic and Edmonton can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Game 6 is Friday night.



the Yankees won last night at home over Baltimore, 4-2. hopefully, they will win again tonight.




Deadliest Catch was good last night.


NXT was very good last night:











Happy Juneteenth to everyone by the way.

i tried to do the grocery shopping a little earlier today. i had everything done by 2 this afternoon. it was hot as shit outside, but i think i missed a good portion of the heat. 


i should be on here tomorrow in the morning, before mom has her physical therapy in the afternoon.


i did watch a little of the Euro 2024 action today.


i'm not sure what i'm making for dinner tonight.

that fresh sunburn kind of feel

so, i was trying to get to bed kind of early last night and around 11:30, i started to smell something. i started to walk around the house and quickly realized there has to be a fucking skunk somewhere outside. we had the air conditioning on and well, just fuck me. so much for getting to sleep early.

i didn't sleep well at all last night. maybe just 2 or 3 hours at a time. but, i was up and showered and made it to the doctor's office on time. the doctor was very pleased with me. my weight is down. my A1C was excellent. my blood pressure was very good. he even gave me the option to give up one of the pills i'm on for Type 2 Diabetes but i decided to keep things the same for now. i'd like to see if my weight continues to go down if my A1C will follow.

the grocery store this morning was a little crazy. plenty of people trying to get all the shopping done before the heat of the day and while it isn't fucking raining. amazingly, i got everything on the list and kept it under $90. mom was shocked when she saw the receipt.

she then had me go to the drugstore to return one thing and find another. i had to get some shit while i was there as well. so that was my morning and early afternoon.

time for a fucking nap.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. Cody got evicted, although i'm pretty sure the producers would love to see him comeback in a week. Alex is the new HOH, so it could be an interesting week.

the 30 for 30: Mike and The Mad Dog was pretty good last night. if you ever want to know why sports talk radio is the way it is, blame those two.

Vice News Tonight had another excellent week of shows.

i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade last night. here are the links:
Cris Jacobs - Dust to Gold
Jordan Lovelis - MYSTERY'S TEETH

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be VICE and NJPW.

the New York Yankees start a series tonight up in Boston. a sweep could go a long way to getting back into the race for the division. but, if they get swept and given the Yankees injuries, it may be time to turn the season over to the kids.

i will be on here early tomorrow. there is a ton happening in the afternoon and evening, so look for me in the morning.

i hope everyone has a great start to their weekend.

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...

genetics wins again

well, i guess my gut doesn't have shit for brains after all. if you remember, a couple days ago i said i had a feeling my doctor's appointment today was going to be more than just a check up. i got there on time and had to wait nearly 30 minutes in the waiting room. i hadn't seen the woman that took me back to the room before. there's something about the sound of high heels anymore that gets my imagination racing. she pricked my finger to get my A1C. about 10 minutes later the doctor came in and said, hey, guess what? the first thought that came to mind was oh shit. he said well, you've got type 2 diabetes. he changed my one prescription to make it twice as much as what i had been taking. that also makes it twice as much as what my mother takes for type 2 diabetes. he also said my arthritis getting worse is probably tied to the diabetes. and i need to let my eye doctor know so they can look at the results a little closer. about 10 minutes later i got a flu shot and a cup to piss in. the doctor said i could just bring it back in next week sometime. great. genetics wins again. my mother blessed with me type 2 diabetes and my father gave me mental illness and alcoholism. what more can a boy ask for? i'm really not sure how much my life is really going to change. my back is bad enough that exercise is hard enough that i'd rather die. so, i guess the goal is now not get so bad that i need insulin. but, i'm pretty sure, i have now seen a glimpse of what running down the mountain is going to be like. it's like a recent poem of mine... some wait for death, i'd rather make it a sprint.

the New York Rangers won last night 5-3 over the Islanders. other than pissing away the lead less than 5 minutes into the 3rd period, i was thrilled with how the Rangers played last night. 39 shots on goal. holy shit, a team that actually wants to shoot the puck. that will be a welcome sight this season.

Fuck, That's Delicious was excellent last night.

Better Things was very funny last night.

Vice News Tonight was great again last night. trust me, it's way better than any nightly news show you are currently watching.

i didn't watch much of the football game last night. i'm happy i had the kicker for San Diego though. i actually have a 13 point lead to start off this week for one of my fantasy teams.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NJPW and High Maintenance.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast last night. if you are a fan or would like to know more about Lucha Underground, i highly encourage you to listen to this one. you can find it by going here: http://notsam.com/wrestlingpodcast/2016/10/13/wrestling-podcast-103-lucha-underground-panel

i will probably do some writing later on tonight. i have one poem swimming in my head for sure, fucking high heels.

i'll most likely be on here in the morning tomorrow. most of what i want to see tomorrow isn't until the evening.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i certainly hope it will be better than mine.
