hurry up and wait...

today was a subtle reminder that as long as i'm going to be alive, i'm going to get fucked in the end. i needed to go to the bank and make a deposit today. i waited in line for 15 minutes to do that. first of the month, i get it. i then went to the hospital to get my blood drawn. there was a line to get to the sign in list. i waited 40 minutes after i got signed in to get called back. they took 5 vials of blood out of me. mind you, i was fasting and it was already after noon. so, i raced back home before my blood sugar would drop and get some breakfast in me. always nice to have breakfast before 1 in the afternoon.

in a little poetry news, i heard back from the folks at The Beatnik Cowboy on my recent poetry submission. they decided to pass on the poems. that kind of pissed me off as i wrote the 3 poems with that zine specifically in mind. oh well. guess i will have to find them a home elsewhere.

Monday Night Raw started off on fire last night, ended as crazy as i can ever remember, but the middle kind of felt like another Monday Night Raw.

The Deuce was excellent last night.

The Voice was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Mayans M.C., Mr. Mercedes, The Jim Jefferies Show, Total Divas and Diego Maradona.

the baseball playoffs start tonight with the National League Wildcard game between the Nationals and Brewers.

i didn't get to watch any of the Manchester United game yesterday. they finished the game with Arsenal 1-1. after mom's doctor's appointment, we went out to eat. after that, she needed to go to the ATM to get some money out. the ATM we normally use was out of service, so i had to drive her all the way to the bank. that's about a 30 minute drive. after we got done with that, i dropped mom off at home and i went to the grocery store to get some gas. i had $1 off that was expiring last night. the line was fucking crazy, but i eventually got to fill up. thank god i did as gas prices went up today by like 50 cents.

i finally got to make the appointment for my EMG test. that will be on Oct. 9th in the morning. joy. the person who told me to get this test told me that her opinion of my x-rays of my neck were that everything is normal. so, i guess arthritis in the neck with a few bone spurs is fucking normal. great.

i have trash to go pick up and i need to ice my back down. i've wanted to do that for the last 4 hours or so.

i hope everyone is doing well. i should be on here tomorrow in the afternoon i suppose.

until then boys and girls...

Doy la bienvenida a la muerte como un beso de un ángel

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...
