so i got some bad news today...

i was hoping for the best today at my doctor's appointment. sadly, that wasn't what happened. i guess my A1C skyrocketed here in the last 6 months. it's still at a range where they aren't worried (7.0) but considering 6 months ago it was 5.4, i'm a little pissed. i also had to get 2 vaccines today, which i didn't mind. i go back in a month to get the second round of the Hepatitis B vaccine; 3 months to get my A1C checked again. a 30 minute visit turned into 90 minutes. joy. mom thinks my drinking has something to do with the A1C going up. if that's the case, here's where i become the non-compliant patient.

so you might have seen all the good news with my poetry in the posts earlier today. here's the flip side. i heard back from Katie at Glintmoon on my recent poetry submission. despite enjoying what i sent, they decided to pass on the poems. that slightly pisses me off, especially since it's one of the few places i have found that actually pays. well, there's 5 more for the unpublished file.

The Voice was really good last night. it was the first night of the battle rounds.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. you can definitely tell WrestleMania is getting closer...

i did watch One Nation Under Stress last night. boy, that hit fucking home. if you live in the Midwest, the whole hour or so you could only shake your head and know exactly what the fuck they were talking about.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown and The Jim Jefferies Show. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the USMNT plays tonight against Chile. this should be their toughest test yet under their new coach.

the New York Rangers scored the first 2 goals last night against Pittsburgh. sadly, the Penguins scored the next 5 to win 5-2.

the New York Yankees lost last night against the Nationals, 5-3. they start their season at home on Thursday against the Orioles.

i've got the trash all picked up and out to the curb, so now i just need to figure out what is for dinner.

i'll probably be on here in the afternoon tomorrow, most likely.

hope everyone is doing well.

until tomorrow kids...

Moriré con una bebida en mi mano

peace and chicken grease...
