i did watch a little bit of day 2 of the NFL Draft last night. the draft concludes later today.
mom's appointment with her back doctor went well yesterday. they were very pleased that her last injection provided some relief and that she is really doing well in physical therapy. she gets her next injection after her birthday in June.
the Orkin guy showed up a little early yesterday. he seems to be a pretty cool dude. big into sports, Charles Bukowski and Run The Jewels. i can imagine we're going to have some interesting conversations. what he put out for the ants worked immediately, so i'm hoping all those fuckers will be gone soon.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.
AEW Rampage was very good last night:
Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.
A Black Lady Sketch Show was fucking great last night.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home in Game 6 against the Devils. it is a MUST WIN game.
i'm sure i will watch some of the playoffs tonight as well as some of the MLS.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the morning.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
so, a friend was supposed to come over last night and bring some medical marijuana for my mother to try. we're kind of searching for something to really actually work on the pain she has. and maybe this is why i don't have many friends, as the friend never showed up. now, she claims she came by and texted and called, but i got none of those. i was sitting in the living room, watching television, waiting. and waiting. and waiting. around 1 in the morning i gave up. i feel bad for my mother as she doesn't know still if the medical marijuana would work for her or not.
so, the plan today was for me to go meet her as this was her day off. i got all the grocery shopping done and now i'm waiting to hear from her. and i'm not going to be shocked to be handed another handful of excuses why we couldn't meet, etc. it is beyond frustrating at this point.
and that brings me to death. as i listen to my mother cry herself to sleep from the pain, how i can't lift my right arm without some nerve getting fucking higher than a kite in joy, etc. etc. have i written enough that i would be remembered? i strongly believe that as long as 1 person remembers you and shares that gift, you are still alive. just not experiencing any of the pain or bullshit that comes with being alive. and that is what is the tempting nature of death. the sheer relief from the utter wastefulness and bat shit crazy bullshit that is humanity. as much fun, as much love, as much freedom that could be enjoyed on this earth, every other fucking thing on the flipside of that is life as well. now, i'm not saying life should be a bed of roses. i'll never forget that the most beautiful roses grow in the smelliest shit ever. i'm just saying if you come across this blog and there hasn't been a post in a few weeks or so, i found the secret door to death and leaped at the god damn chance to free myself from this earth. and that is the most beautiful thought anyone could ever have.
the Yankees defeated the Orioles last night, 12-8. Rizzo hit 3 home runs last night. he now leads the majors. hopefully, the boys will win again tonight.
the New York Rangers lost to Carolina last night, 4-3. oh well. they will finish second in the division and have home ice for the first round of the playoffs. they play Montreal at home tonight.
NXT was excellent last night.
Young Rock was pretty good last night.
Name That Tune was good last night.
