why i do my best to avoid reality...

when i went out and got the mail today, i saw a letter for my mom and feared what it was about. turns out, my fears were correct. my mother's disability claim got denied today. she's spent the afternoon talking to lawyers because these dumb fucks believe my mother should be able to work as a school nurse. i'm not sure how she can do that when i have to drive her everywhere and she doesn't have the necessary certificates to be a school nurse. what truly pisses me off in this ordeal is the doctor that said she could do this is the fucker who told mom when she went to the appointment to see him, what are you doing here? it's obvious from the x-rays and MRI, you have spinal stenosis. you're not faking anything. the other kicker is the one doctor she went to disputed his claims. so, the insurance company kicked it to our family doctor, who just happened to go to medical school with the asshole who said mom could work. our family doctor agreed with his classmate. that's why the claim was denied. my mother told me when i got home from the bank that she was so fucking angry she couldn't even cry. thankfully, mom did find an attorney that wants to look into this. at least i know where all my stress will be coming from for the next few weeks.

on the poetry front, i contacted Moran Press about the mini-chapbook of mine that was accepted back in February of 2017. i guess the poetry editor left and things have fallen behind, but they still very much want to do the project. so, hopefully this thing will see the light of day before i die.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i think maybe the company has figured out, if you want the fans to cheer for Roman Reigns, you need to keep him in The Shield. the upcoming program between them and Braun Strowman should be fascinating.

Carpool Karaoke: When Corden Met McCartney was pretty good last night. they did show a few more things than when they originally aired it. i do love the early Beatles stories.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Jim Jefferies Show, Deadliest Catch, Fuck That's Delicious, Miz and Mrs. and Hard Knocks. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Yankees start a 2 game series tonight down in Florida against the Marlins. hopefully the Yankees will keep on winning.

the trip to the bank was good today. i had a nice amount to deposit. good timing, as i got a bill in the mail today. i was hoping the woman from the last time was going to be working today. of course, given my luck, you know she wasn't.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i know i have trash to pickup now, so that's the end of today's festivities.

until tomorrow kids...

tienes que follar el sistema antes de que el sistema te folle

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...
