and here comes the storm...

 from what it looks like on the radar, we might have some oh shit weather coming tonight. there is nothing worse than tornadoes at night. hell, i don't think this area has exactly recovered since the last one hit here. so yeah, that will be in the back of my mind tonight while i'm watching whatever i have on. of course, if it gets really bad, the satellite will go out anyway. good times.


the New York Yankees won yesterday against San Francisco, 5-0. first time the Yankees had a shutout on Opening Day since 1988. hopefully, they will win the rest of the series this weekend.

opening day...

 this used to be as close to a fucking holiday for me as anything when i was a kid. opening day of the MLB season. now that i'm older, i still get up for this day, but not nearly as much as i did when i was a kid. i will be glued to the Yankees game for a few innings at least. i placed my first baseball bets today. hopefully, there will be plenty of runs today.

it has been a day...

 i thought i was doing pretty good today. i was making decent time, finding everything i needed to get. and then of course, my back, midway through shopping at Kroger, decided to flare up on me. nothing like looking at chicken for the best prices and your back slaps you upside your face, begging for attention. and there i was, frozen like some crazy fuck, wondering how quickly i can move and get going. thankfully, i was probably only frozen in pain for about 15 seconds. but, have an elephant stand on your back and see if you can last 15 seconds. 


the New York Rangers won last night at home against Columbus, 6-2.

one of those days where the pain rides under the surface like a demon on a skateboard...

 i often wonder when i string these 4 hour sleep nights together if i am going slowly insane or i am simply riding that wave to a different plane of thought, belief, etc. my ego tends to get stronger as the candle gets closer to burning out. i'm pretty sure that is insanity. but, it also tends to be the moments where i am the most calm. that delicate dance i suppose.


i did sit in on mom's meeting with her financial advisor today. she is better off than she realized, which should help her mental state. it also opened my eyes to the investment opportunities that will be coming soon. after that meeting, i had to go to the next town over to get money out of mom's checking account. 30 minutes roundtrip. i drove by the old farm. it looks so much different now.


the New York Knicks won last night at home over Houston, 137-115.

oh yeah, it is also the start of WrestleMania week as well...

 if you are a pro wrestling fan, this week is basically like Christmas. i am really looking forward to everything this week, so, of course, there is a million other things i need to get done this week as well. mom got a call this morning that they moved up her appointment for physical therapy. so, this blog is going to be written as fast as i fucking can do it.


i absolutely love what the New York Yankees did yesterday.




the Final Four is now set. i will be slightly stunned if UCONN doesn't win it all.




here are your NBA highlights from yesterday:



Power Book II: Ghost was really good last night.



Succession was excellent last night. i get the feeling the final season is going to be great.




Yellowjackets was fucking crazy last night.

i do have an appointment this afternoon to get my bloodwork done. it is my annual 6 month checkup on my heart and everything else. yet another reason why the blog is being finished this morning.


at some point today, i do plan on listening to episode 440 of Notsam Wrestling.





i know tomorrow morning, mom and i have a video meeting with her financial advisor. i can't wait to see if mom is actually awake when the meeting is.


i hope everyone had a great weekend.

gearing up for a long ass week...

 now that mom is back into physical therapy, the weeks are going to be micro-managed to death. between her appointments and all the other shit i have to do, time to write this blog, poetry, etc. is going to have to be squeezed in where it can. so, don't be shocked if this blog has no set timetable for the next few weeks. i would love to get it done tomorrow in the morning as she has physical therapy in the afternoon and then i'm hoping to get an appointment to get my blood drawn. and of course, she wants to get her blood drawn at the same time. 


the New York Rangers won at Florida yesterday, 4-3. thankfully, the "kid line" saved them after getting down 2-0. the boys are now just 2 points from clinching a playoff spot.











i did watch some MLS games last night:











here are your NBA highlights from last night:



half of the Final Four is now set. should be interesting to see who gets the final two spots today.

the wind finally has moved out of the area. thankfully, our power never went out. i certainly don't miss the windy days on the farm, always worrying about which tree was going to clip which power line.


if all goes well, i will be on here in the morning tomorrow. if not, the blog will be much later in the afternoon.


i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

i need to go make dinner so that's all for me kids.


i hope everyone has a great weekend.


we had a cold front come through with the storms last night, so it feels like winter again here. joy.

well at least i got some poems written...

 so, i am running behind today. that is the joy of plenty of rain and a bad back deciding it wanted the day off. late last night, i did get two poems written. i figured between the pain and depression, that was a minor miracle. so, if i can get a few moments without pain this weekend, i'm going to try to get some poems ready for submission.

it has rained all day...

 so, i have determined the pain in my left shoulder is arthritis. the rain today made it really fucking clear to me what is going on. i'm at the point now where i am just trying to keep my mind occupied so the pain doesn't get a chance to run the show. of course, that doesn't work all the time. that is when shit gets really interesting.

hello depression, it's me again...

 so, yeah... my left shoulder is killing me, i think it might be a pinched nerve. my left elbow is killing me, i have no fucking clue what that is. my right knee is killing me, i believe that is all arthritis. and given all that pain and a bad back, today was one of those days spent in the massage chair hoping the ice freezes my spinal cord so the central nervous system no longer works. somedays i get really lucky and the ice does the trick. and then there are the days where nothing fucking works, even alcohol, and depression enters the room and sets up shop. now, don't worry, i'm not suicidal. i doubt that creeps in my mind anytime before my mother leaves this earth. i don't think i want her to be the one to find me whenever that (if ever) happens. what concerns me is my lack of wanting to be creative anymore when the darkness comes. it seems like all the water has been squeezed from the rock now. and tends to let me try to think about an unknown future. and as much as that should excite my imagination, the depression doesn't allow such nonsense. so yeah, welcome to Tuesday...


The Voice was good last night. i believe tonight is the end of the blinds.









Perry Mason was very good last night.
