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:

and now some of this and that:

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

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...

 when it rains like it has for the last couple of days, i basically know i am not going to get any good sleep. so, i basically live off of the three hours at night, a few naps here and there, etc. last night, i tried to write some poems and have that make me sleepy. after i typed up the 4 i wrote, sleep really didn't come. joy.

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

the Yankees won last night at home against Arizona, 9-7. they start a series today at the Pirates.

fan is short for fanatic

 so, the mail hasn't been delivered yet, so i might as well get the blog done as i bide my time. i really hope the cards are in the mail today. i just want to get this shit over with.

the New York Rangers pissed away two different 2 goal leads last night and lost at Anaheim in OT, 5-4. hopefully, that will be the nail in the coffin for this team. i don't want them to make the playoffs just to get swept by Washington in the first round. they play tonight at San Jose. if they lose this game, it will be time to start benching players and play the fucking kids.

i did watch some of the college basketball games last night. i went 4-0 once again. on my original bracket, i got 7 out of the elite 8 right. not bad.

Smackdown was really good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

finally talked to a human...

 so, i finally got a hold of someone at Humana to find out about my Medicaid cards. they said the cards were mailed out on March 21st. it will take 7 to 8 days to arrive. well, they weren't in the mail today, so i'm assuming they will be in the mail tomorrow. and then i will have to cancel my Anthem insurance (there's $600 saved) and then go to Kroger to get my new insurance into the system and pick up the pills that are ready there. i found out today that my doctors do take the new insurance, so i should be good to go on my appointment on April Fools Day. i will have to make an appointment to get the blood work done on Monday. now, if the cards aren't in the mail tomorrow, i will blow my lid, be pissed beyond belief and realize the whole system will drive me to killing myself. good times.

i did watch the Yankees game yesterday. they won over the Brewers, 4-2. hopefully, this will be a good season. Austin Wells became the first catcher and first Yankee EVER to hit a lead off home run on opening day.

i did watch a good portion of the college basketball games last night. i went 4-0.

mom got sick yesterday, so she didn't go to the podiatrist. i'm not sure she's feeling much better today. it did warm up today, so we're airing out the house for a few hours. this is what i like to call trapping all the hot air in so i can't sleep worth a shit but she will be nice and warm.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher.

i will watch some college basketball tonight as well.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Anaheim. 

i did finally see A Complete Unknown today. i noticed it was on HULU so i watched it this afternoon. it was good.

i will most likely be on here in the morning, unless the Medicaid cards show up in the mail early tomorrow. then, i will be on here after that chaos is over.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

 the Yankees start their season today at home against the Brewers. other than the ton of injuries they had during spring training, i'm hoping the Yankees get off to a good start this season.

hopefully, i will have a good season gambling. the way my life is going right now, i don't have much of a choice.

i only saw the highlights from AEW Dynamite last night. it was ok.

The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.

Abbott Elementary was hilarious last night.

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight. i'll be flipping between the sweet sixteen college basketball games and some baseball most likely.

i have to take mom to the podiatrist today. at least that isn't a far drive.

i think mom really likes her new glasses. i think she might get to use her new sunglasses today.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. they haven't delivered the mail yet today, so if my Medicaid cards are in there, i have a shit load of things i need to do that will probably change when i will be on here tomorrow. 

best of luck to everyone gambling on baseball and basketball today.

 i really thought there was going to be some upsets last night in the NCAA tournament. sadly, that didn't really happen. at least, that is how i'm explaining going 11-7 on night 2.

Smackdown was very good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

i took mom to downtown Dayton yesterday to get some death certificates. i hadn't been downtown in years. but, eventually, muscle memory kicked in. after that, we got some McDonald's for lunch. 

i wrote 2 poems last night so i could send that submission out. they both were good but quite the struggle to write. joy.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

my bracket still looks good...

 so, i went 14-2 yesterday on the college basketball games. hopefully, i can repeat that today.

there's where the good news ends. the USMNT lost to Panama last night, 1-0. Panama's only shot on goal went in basically at the death of the game. fuck me. simply not good enough and honestly, the team has a ways to go to even sniff success in the World Cup, eventually.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Toronto, 4-3.

i slept like shit last night. could never get the pinched nerve to calm down, so basically i slept in 45 minute shifts. joy.

i have to take mom to get some death certificates today. i love taking care of some legal shit that could have been dealt with nearly a decade ago.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher.

by this time tomorrow, the Dayton Flyers will be getting ready to play in the NIT.

so, the goal will be to get the blog done before that game tomorrow.

i think the weather is supposed to be shitty this weekend, so that will be good for watching college basketball.

i'm going to try to take a nap before i have to start driving. thankfully, it won't be a far drive.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i was driving home from the bank today and a poem came to me. it never fucking fails, the good ones always come when i don't have a chance to write them down. thankfully, i basically repeated it to myself and wrote it out by the time i got home. 

Monday Night Raw was excellent yesterday.

happy i wish i could still eat chocolate day...

 happy easter to everyone that celebrates this. for the rest of us, hope you enjoy the candy. for us diabetics, well, i share in the misery. my body has decided it can no longer break down chocolate, so i have given it up. so, easter to me has now become a cruel mistress of past joy.

so, since we are on the misery tip, let me talk about Manchester United. United was fucking awful yesterday. after 15 minutes, you could tell they were completely uninterested in the game. if Brentford would have been clinical yesterday in the final third, they would have won by three or four goals. instead, Mason Mount scored late for United. and probably no sooner than i said don't fuck this up, Brentford equalized. 1-1 draw. a point that United didn't deserve at all.

the New York Rangers won yesterday at the Coyotes, 8-5. Jonathan Quick now has the most goalie wins for any American born goalie. 

the New York Yankees won last night at the Astros, 5-3. third straight come from behind win. hopefully, they will get the sweep this afternoon.

i did watch some college basketball last night. congrats to UConn and Alabama. the other half of the final four will be set today.
