i hate losing more than i love winning...

 i am a very competitive person. and now that sports gambling is legal, i can put my money where my mouth is. now, i don't have fuck you money to gamble with, but i also stay true to the golden rule... only gamble what you are willing to lose. i did get the national title game last night between Florida and Houston right. i won two different groups on ESPN.com with that bracket. i went 47-16 in the tournament. that is my best record in years. apparently, putting money on it makes me a little more intense on getting shit right. that might be the only thing i worry about with my sports gambling. i am a perfectionist at heart. 

the Yankees lost yesterday at Detroit, 6-2. i did watch some of the game, especially when they were playing in the snow. they play again this afternoon.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Tampa Bay, 5-1. 

The Voice was very good last night.

Monday Night Raw was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

mom's doctor appointment yesterday went well. she chose to get physical therapy on her knees. that will start on Thursday. she thought she had an appointment today. we listened to the call again and it was for her to reschedule the appointment she had today. that will now be on next Monday. 

here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

i should be on here tomorrow before i go grocery shopping.

i'll flip this afternoon between baseball and the champions league, hoping for a nap.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

good news and a wasted afternoon...

 so, i went to the bank to make a deposit before my doctor's appointment. i got to the doctor's office a little early and amazingly, they got me into my appointment early. my A1C went from 8.4 to 6.0, everyone is thrilled about that. i explained that there will be a little gap in the Rybelsus since Anthem wanted me to pay over $2,600 for it. i did get my Medicaid card today. of course, the mail didn't come before my appointment. so, i'll have to make another trip out tomorrow while grocery shopping. so, i got back home and wanted to cancel my Anthem insurance. the last 2 hours have been spent trying to do that. from what i gather, the fuck up is the plan used to be on the Marketplace but no longer is so the Marketplace can't cancel something they don't have yet Anthem is telling me that is the only way the policy can be cancelled. as i told my mother, this is why death is so popular anymore. i told mom to try to cancel the payment she made last night and maybe then they'll understand to cancel the fucking policy.

i didn't get to watch any of the Manchester United game today. they lost at Nottingham Forest, 1-0.

Monday Night Raw was very good yesterday.

The Voice was excellent last night.

the New York Rangers signed Gabe Perreault last night. that made me very happy.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, St. Denis Medical and Dark Side of the Ring.

the Yankees play tonight at home against Arizona.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

oh yeah, since it is April and April is National Poetry Month, i guess i need to do a little bit on that.

enjoy...

i will probably do two videos a day on poets i like. and in this case, i figured i would start with myself as i have had the kind of day that i know my 8 year old self is laughing about and shaking his head, knowing that death was always the right answer.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

 this almost feels like a battle of cat and mouse. not a damn thing in the mail today i was actually hoping for. this is doing wonders for my stress level.

grocery shopping went ok today. thankfully, i kept it under $200. after i got done with that, i had to take mom to get her new glasses. i am really hoping that now that she can see better, she will have a bit more confidence about everything.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

well, hurry up and wait...

 i have a doctor's appointment on April 1st. i need to get bloodwork done. i am patiently waiting, i mean as fucking patiently as i possibly fucking can, for my Medicaid cards to show up so i can make the fucking changes to all the shit i have going on. i need to cancel Anthem, but i'm not doing that until the cards show up. and what really pisses me off, if i have been in the system since the 1st, why don't i have any cards 24 fucking days later? makes no fucking sense possible. i got a text from Kroger today that my Rybelsus will cost $2.657.56 to fill. basically, i am now in a Leonard Cohen song where it is way more cost effective to die than continue to struggle to live.

speaking of that, mom's doctor's appointment yesterday was interesting, she is a bit of a chatty person, always her nature. so, she admitted to having thoughts of suicide, etc. one, that pissed me off as it clearly is a reflection on the job i am doing as caretaker. second, of course they want her to think about taking some more pills to perhaps lighten her mood. third, why the fuck are these appointments two fucking hours long. 

we went to Arby's after the appointment and got home in time to watch Monday Night Raw. it was a really good show, once again.

The Voice was very good last night.

 this morning, the internet went out, as did the home phone line. i made up my mind then to go shit and might as well get the grocery shopping done. thankfully, when i got to the store, they had no problems. so, i was in the parking lot for a bit on my phone. by the time i got home from the first grocery store, everything was working again. all in all, grocery shopping went pretty well today. prices are still too fucking high and i know that won't change anytime soon with Orange Hitler running shit.
