nothing like getting to bed by 4 AM and up at 7 AM. fuck me.
the Dayton Flyers won last night at VCU, 79-76. that means Dayton will have a double bye and be the 3 seed in the A10 tournament. always good to go ruin someone's senior night.

today has been all about managing pain and frustration. i'd like to think i would get a gold star today. so, a little after 9 this morning, i called Rite Aid because i knew i was going to run out of a pill by tonight. i already had a new prescription for it on hold, so i wanted them to fill it. the lady on the phone said the insurance isn't willing to pay for it until March 1st. well shit. i mentioned something about GoodRx and they said they will try it but it has been giving them problems today so far. they insisted that i call my insurance company and get them to override it. so, after i ate breakfast, i called the insurance company. what a fucking waste of time. i got transferred 3 times and none of the people were someone i actually needed to talk to. all of them said that Rite Aid should call to get the override. so, after all that bullshit, i called Rite Aid back up. i told them what the insurance company said and they said well, that isn't how it normally happens. anyway, we were able to run it through GoodRx and it will be ready in a few minutes. sure enough, i got a text 3 minutes later that it was ready. i went to Rite Aid and picked it up and got back home before all the rain came today. gold fucking star.
and now we get to the Dayton Flyers. what pisses me off the most about how Anthony Grant coaches is none of his teams (except for perhaps the 29-2 team that got robbed right before the pandemic) ever play as good as they can. they always tend to play down to the competition. and rightly so, they will get burned doing this when the attention to detail doesn't exist. last night was the perfect example. rebounding is all about want to. defending without fouling is all about sticking to fundamentals. Dayton got destroyed on both of those. and it wasn't that George Mason is any fucking good, trust me, they aren't, it is all about how Dayton is pissing away the great opportunity they had this season. i hope that they actually drop out of the top 25. that would be the fucking wake up call they need. Dayton lost 71-67. they were actually up by 6 at halftime. i guess maybe they shouldn't have let George Mason go on a 19-0 run in the second half. fuck me.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i was pretty happy yesterday when the New Orleans Saints were up 17-0 at halftime at Green Bay. Derek Carr got injured in the second half and it was like the whole team said oh shit at the same time. the offense was inept and couldn't stay on the field long enough to give the defense a break. and sure enough, Green Bay came back to win 18-17. they said after the game that Derek Carr has a sprained AC Joint in his right shoulder. great.
the Yankees were officially eliminated from the playoffs yesterday after losing to Arizona, 7-1. they are already down 2-0 today. at least The Captain said the right things after the game. there is a ton of shit that needs to change to be better next season.

i had a really good day gambling yesterday, right up until the NBA All Star game. i picked the wrong player to score 20 points and now it seems my mojo is fucked. i did make over $100 yesterday, so that was good. i will hopefully make a little money tonight, although my NHL picks today are punching me in the dick. at least i do adhere to my one rule of gambling, only wager what you are willing to lose.
here are your links for this day of Black History Month:
i'm never quite sure what i'm going to do in my blog this month. i believe it is going to be one where i concentrate on the music and probably links that i would love the ignorant that come across this blog each day to actually check out. so yeah, let us start there:
the New York Knicks lost last night at home to the Lakers in OT, 129-123.

the grocery shopping today was painful. first, i went to Rite Aid and my pills weren't ready. i only called them in on Sunday. and then, the pharmacy manager asked if i wanted to get my vaccines caught up. i asked what ones am i missing? she then hands me a list and goes over them. i told her i already had the Hep B vaccine done and it was a 2 shot dose. she then tells me they don't do Hep B vaccines in 2 shot doses. i looked at her like are you calling me a fucking liar... i told her i'm not getting any shots today, i just need my fucking prescriptions filled. god that pisses me off. like someone else knows my body better than i do. the local grocery store wasn't too bad. Kroger was not as busy as it usually is on Wednesday. i tried my best to get what was on the list and save as much money as i could. i got over $48 off on the groceries today and it still cost over $215. fuck me. and my bad back started fucking with me in the store and my right knee decided it wanted attention as well. joy. i made it home in time to watch the second half of the Manchester United game today.
Manchester United defeated Nottingham Forest today 2-0 to advance to the League Cup finals. this will be their first Cup final in 5 fucking years. they will play Newcastle at Wembley on February 26th.
i did pretty good gambling last night. hopefully, i will do better tonight.

this doesn't happen that much to me anymore (thankfully) but there is a point where my pain in my bad back just becomes too fucking much. and what happens is i usually have to spend most of the day in my massage chair with ice on it and i am fucking useless. now, being my mother's caretaker means useless isn't allowed, which i do understand. so, i don't get to spend as much time in the chair as i would love to, but that's called fucking life. today my bad back has decided it wanted to win. and it has.
the Yankees lost yesterday at Toronto, 10-9. they blew an 8-3 lead. oh well. they will hopefully start a new winning streak tonight at that dump down in Tampa.
i did catch a couple MLS games yesterday.
i also watched some golf yesterday.

i didn't get anything written yesterday. another joy of back pain. my tomorrow is going to be a bit crazy. so, i'm thinking i will get some poems out either late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, before i do the grocery shopping.
i have to take mom to get her injection tomorrow. i'm really hoping this takes and eliminates most of her pain. if not, i get the feeling things are going to get very expensive. and then later in the day, i have a doctor's appointment. hopefully my A1C has gone down. so, i will most likely do the blog in the window between appointments or after my doctor's appointment.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
tomorrow is the first day of summer here. i believe the temperature is supposed to be something close to that of hell.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. i hope you have a wonderful day.
yesterday might have been one of the crazier days of my life. after thinking about the bullshit my sister did yesterday, the more i think she planned the whole thing out. i didn't include in the blog yesterday that my sister came back (she forgot some of her shit in the bathroom) and as she was leaving a second time, she gave my mother a ring back. now, this was the ring my father gave my mother for their 20th wedding anniversary. this was a ring my sister asked my mother to give her, which she did. the fact that my sister made a point to give it back to my mother and say pawn it, chop it up, whatever, i don't fucking want it anymore, makes me believe my sister thinks she was proving a point. as i told a friend last night, my belief is my sister doesn't want to be a part of this family and i am proceeding as that is the way it is going to be from this point forward. now, what truly pisses me off, that person that used to be known as my sister, knows mom can't handle stress that well. knows that mom's health is failing her. so, i was the lucky one that got to see her shit and puke the rest of the fucking day and night. and here it is noon on Sunday and she hasn't made it out of her bedroom yet. i know for a fact, that if my former sister would have it her way, mom would be in a nursing home and forgotten about. yet, i'm the asshole that wants to respect her wishes and watch it play out, as painfully as it could be. now, i'm one that knows how to hold a fucking grudge until the bitter fucking end. and knowing my former sister never let mom know if she made it back home yesterday or contacted her at all, and the level of stress and worry that gives my mother, my former sister is probably a few hours away from being dead to me FOREVER.
the New York Rangers lost to Pittsburgh last night, 7-4. Pittsburgh is now up 2-1 in the series. next game is Monday night.
here are your highlights from the rest of the NHL playoffs yesterday:
i did watch the Kentucky Derby yesterday. i wish the State of Ohio would get its head out of its ass and get sports betting going in this state. when an 80-1 shot wins the Kentucky Derby, i would have loved to had a little piece of that action.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs yesterday:
i did watch a little of the MLS games yesterday:
Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Barry, The Baby, Last Week Tonight, Gaslit, VICE, The Man Who Fell To Earth and Ziwe. i'll be watching WWE WrestleMania Backlash for most of the evening on Peacock.
oh yeah, as for the Manchester United game. i didn't see much of it as i had to miss the start since i had to run to a different pharmacy and gets the pills called in for my mother before the pharmacy closed. thankfully, i got there with about 8 minutes to spare. by the time i got home, United was already down 1-0. they must have just quit since the final score was 4-0. Brighton whipped them from what the highlights showed. this finally takes away any chance of finishing in the top 4. and as i have said earlier, i won't be surprised when they fail to finish in the top 6.
the New York Yankees play a doubleheader at home today against the Texas Rangers. i guess the rain has finally cleared out of New York. hopefully, the Yankees will win both games today.
and hopefully, my mother will get out of bed and actually feel like eating something today and maybe opening the funny ass gift i got her and the card.
i did do a little poetry work late last night. if i find the time today, i will send those 8 poems out.
i hope everyone had a better Saturday than i did. and i hope your Sunday will be even better than that.

so, i guess mom fell this morning in the bathroom. i must have been in the kitchen making my breakfast, because i didn't hear anything. she told me about it while i was making her egg for her breakfast. she has this obsession that she has to get naked to take her weight. i asked her, wouldn't it be safer to not do that? she rebuffed that notion and i, like the smart ass i am, then said... if the mental boost of being a few pounds lighter at best is more important than the possibility of slipping, hitting your head on toilet and dying, then just keep doing what you are doing. i can't imagine why i get frustrated...
Manchester United plays this afternoon at Burnley. i'm hoping United will win, but i won't be shocked if they struggle once again and probably fucking blow it, again.
i guess i will be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done. i know the Dayton Flyers play tomorrow night at home. i would love to go to the game but with mom's health and balance being shitty here lately, that won't be happening.
i need to go get the mail and work on the driveway a little bit more. i'm trying to get a clear path to get the trash down to the street without me having to do it on ice skates.

the Dayton Flyers whipped Alabama State last night, 93-54. their defense is starting to remind me of Anthony Grant's teams at VCU. they play again at home on Saturday.

i think mom might be giving me a check today, so i might try to go to the bank before the Manchester United game.
she did end up canceling her appointment today. what she is afraid of is her nerve problem won't get any better anytime soon, so she may have to cancel her surgery for her skin cancer next week.
