i got the news of the shooting yesterday in Texas while i was eating a late lunch. as the night went on and the death total increased, i just sort of slumped in my chair in complete apathy. nothing ever fucking changes in this country. and as much as i would love to say thoughts and prayers to the victims families etc., that is just so fucking trite anymore. and we all know, contacting your senators does fucking nothing. you have to vote out all the clowns if you ever want change and that won't happen either. i jokingly told mom that the Democrats should bait the Republicans and put forth gun reform they actually would vote for. just write a bill that no non-white person in this country can legally own a gun. the Republicans would jump at the chance to pass that in a heartbeat, just to say they did do something about gun reform. there is no fucking reason on this fucking earth that anyone should own an AR-15. let alone be legally allowed to buy one on their 18th birthday. and for once, i would love if someone would actually mention the need to heavily invest in mental health in this country. i haven't written any poems about all this shit yet, but i'm sure they will come eventually.
mom's appointment yesterday went well. i have to take her tomorrow to get some blood drawn before she does her physical therapy. and sometime they should be calling to set up an appointment with a psychiatrist. her doc and i both agreed that there needs to be a little mental health aspect to all of this as well. i think it could just be a tweak of her meds that could do the trick. it is obvious they aren't doing much for depression at the moment.
the New York Rangers defeated Carolina last night, 4-1, to even their series at 2-2. it is a best of 3 now. if the Rangers can get a win in Carolina, hopefully on Thursday, then they will have the chance to win the series at MSG. Carolina hasn't won a road playoff game yet.
