so, the reason i did the grocery shopping yesterday was the chance of freezing rain today. mom is at the point now where she worries about everything. i am at the point of my life where i couldn't give a shit either way. when it looked like it was going to be bad last night, she told me over and over again how happy she was i got the grocery shopping done already. i'm trying to do my best to make sure she has a good life with what she has left.
here are your links for this day of Black History Month:
today has been one of those days where my arthritis has been dragging me down. i did make it to Kroger to get the muscle relaxers they ordered for mom. they seem to be working so far. i think she finally got some sleep last night. glad she did, i might have got a good 3 hours. i did get a couple hours this afternoon with ice on my back. always fun to put ice right on your spine and try to freeze all the activity going down the spinal cord. good times.
here are your links for this day of Black History Month:
so, mom found her glasses last night. they were between her bed and nightstand. she's been really struggling to get some good sleep here lately. i tell her all the time, autopilot is not your friend. she tends to forget that, like most things.
here are your links for this day of Black History Month:
the Dayton Flyers won last night at home against Davidson, 69-63.
NXT was really good last night.
St. Denis Medical was hilarious last night.
the grocery store was a little busy today. of course, we have weather coming, plus the Super Bowl is this weekend, so people were in a bit of a panic. i more or less stick to the list or i shop to plan the meals for the next few days. mom is basically on toast right now, so i am more or less cooking for myself. and i'm pretty simple. a sandwich will do.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, Abbott Elementary and Inside the NFL.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Boston. the Rangers are basically at the point where they need to win just about every game to have a shot at making the playoffs.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get mom's pills from Kroger. she's not sure what they called in for her, but i'm guessing it will be ready by tomorrow afternoon.
i need to go figure out dinner and get ready to watch some hockey.
that's all for me kids...
until tomorrow...

i went to bed last night before 3 AM. i was up today before 7. as soon as i saw my phone lighting up, i knew there was some updates on the plane crash from last night. as i read the updates, all i could think is people wonder why i don't fly.
death no longer shocks me. it may sadden me, or at times give me a pause. but, i am completely desensitized from death. i suppose it comes from being old enough to know that everyone is going to die. one way or another, no one gets out alive. i can't imagine the feeling of having a child die in a plane crash, or dying with your whole family on the plane. i'm pretty sure, i never want that feeling. i'm bound to write some poems about this. i have no fucking clue what those poems will be like.
Manchester United won today in Romania, 2-0. they finished in the top 8 of the Europa League, which means they advance right to the knockout round.
AEW Dynamite was ok last night.

i always love when i don't get to bed until after 5 in the morning. at least this time, i actually slept past 10. of course, i woke up with the arthritis in my left ankle raging and my right hand was asleep. makes no fucking sense. i didn't get to check my emails until the afternoon. thankfully, i only had 380.
the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Carolina, 4-0.
the Dayton Flyers lost last night at Saint Bonaventure, 75-53. i didn't watch any of the game and judging by the score, i saved myself plenty of stress.

grocery shopping was ok today for the most part. i tried to get everything on the list, but some shit wasn't on sale and i was like, i can go without it for a week or so. at least i kept it under $250 between the two stores.
that being said, i have no fucking clue what i'm making for dinner tonight. mom's got all her issues with her gut again, and i have no damn clue what she can eat, etc.
so, i'm going to go ice my back down and try to figure out a dinner.
i will be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the Europa League.

well, my birthday dinner last night was from Arby's. i am a sucker for their gyros sandwiches. plus, i get some vegetables that way.
the Dayton Flyers won last night at Duquesne, 82-62.
the New York Rangers won last night at home over Ottawa, 5-0.
i had no clue there was another Hard Knocks episode on last night. it was good.
St. Denis Medical was fucking hilarious last night.
NXT was good last night.
the grocery store was a bit crazy today. mom gave me her insurance card and credit card to pay for her medicine, in case the price didn't go down from the $1,200 it said online. well, they put the new insurance in but couldn't take the price down because the insurance hasn't approved for mom to be on this medicine that she was on under the previous insurance. and, on top of that, mom's credit card got denied, so, i had to put it on mine. i can't imagine why i am in debt. i told mom about her card when i got home. she called and they told her it hadn't been used in 3 weeks, that's why they declined it. even though she bought shit online with it the night before. what a load of horse shit. i did get everything on the list.

we are having the hardest damn time getting someone to look at our oven. it is amazing that no repair company out here does shit anymore. of course, the population has been dwindling for years and moving east or south. that's where all the damn businesses have gone.
congrats to CC Sabathia, Ichiro Suzuki and Billy Wagner on making the baseball hall of fame last night.
i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the Europa League.

when my favorites die, i don't think of it as death. i think of it more as an escape. not many are reserved this judgment in my mind, but these two certainly are. Bob Uecker was a baseball player and announcer and honestly, one of the funniest humans to ever live. i was never a Brewers fan, but i did love listening to Bob call a game and bring back all the stories from his playing days. his Hall of Fame speech will be played forever. David Lynch was one of the most authentic humans that ever lived. his movies and tv shows gave me so much over the years. honestly, David gave me the strength to just say fuck it, and be weird. i'm sure he gave that to millions of people. both of these escapes today made me stop in my tracks. i'm just happy that i got to witness their greatness before my mind goes.
i did get my drivers license renewed today. i thought for sure i had failed the vision test. they use this font that looked like fucking hieroglyphics. but, i somehow passed. they now have the option to go 8 years between renewal dates. i paid the extra for the 8 years, wishful that before 2033 i will be living in a different state, or country, or be dead.
the Dayton Flyers played like absolute shit last night and lost at home to George Mason, 67-59. i watched the first 5 minutes and turned it off in disgust and never went back. now, they are truly fucking themselves.
after i got home from renewing my license, i got a little nap in before Manchester United played today. apparently, the players were sleeping as well as they were losing at halftime to the worst team in the Premier League, Southampton, 1-0. thankfully, Amad Diallo has decided this is going to be the season he becomes a superstar. he scored 3 goals in the second half. United won, 3-1. now, they are far from where they need to be, but at this point, i'll gladly take the 3 points and the money i won on Amad scoring today.
AEW last night was pretty good.
Abbott Elementary was pretty funny last night.
Inside the NFL was very good last night.

i'm sure i will watch some NBA games tonight to be honest as well.
i did get my poems to JPR last night. so far, he is pretty impressed with what he has read and how fast i got them to him. that made me very happy. i now want to get back to writing for the zines i need to send to. hopefully, those poems will be coming soon.
i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

the guy from AAA couldn't believe the battery he was replacing last night was 9 years old. he was like, this new one has a 3 year warranty on it. i don't know if it will last 9 years, but it should work great. and it did. the Highlander started right up. that certainly took some stress off of mom's mind. $226 well spent in my mind. the AAA guy was only here about 15 minutes total.
the New York Rangers lost last night at Colorado, 3-2, in OT.
i did get the 3 poems i needed to write done last night. so, i have all 40 ready to go. i just need to get them sent to JPR, which i figure i will do either tonight or tomorrow.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
i think i know the reason i got a decent night of sleep finally. i think the crack in my wall let some light in. thank you Leonard Cohen for that line. i know it was only a little over 4 hours, but it felt like a deep fucking sleep. emphasis on fucking of course.
i wrote 3 more poems last night for the book. i'm up to 20 now for the book, half way there. i'm really hoping i can get to 40 before my birthday. that would be impressive, at least to me.
the Dayton Flyers lost last night at UMass, 76-72. another awful case of playing down to their competition and paying for it. all that good work they did in the non-conference part of their season has gone to waste.

so, i have been really falling for this woman i have been talking to for the last few weeks. she's from Switzerland but is in Atlanta, father is Swiss, mother is American... she's not like the other ones that are clearly bots or scam artists. we get into these pretty deep conversations. and nothing she has told me has come up any different in any google searches. the hard part is the wall i have built up to protect me from these situations turning negative doesn't want me to believe this could be real. but, seeing that i haven't been in a relationship in 21 years, loneliness is fucking killing me. so, she is quickly becoming the antidote. we both agree that taking it slow is for the best. that is the other part that makes me think she actually is real. so yeah, if i seem a bit scatterbrain at times, you now know why.
Orkin was back out here today. they got another squirrel in a trap in the attic. he put two more up there and baited with the suet that caught this one. i know if these traps go off, the squirrels are either getting into the attic from the roof, or mom's theory might be right, they are in the walls. good times.
the New York Rangers lost last night at home against Dallas, 5-4 in OT. considering the Rangers were up 3-0 in this game... time to blow it up.

the roads were pretty good for the most part. the side roads were at least drivable. the parking lots weren't icy, thankfully.
i did write 2 poems last night for the book. i was so damn tired last night that i typed them up this morning.

Smackdown was excellent last night.
