apparently, the drugs like me...

so, my sister got me to the hospital on time this morning. my blood pressure was up a bit. once i calmed down, my numbers got better. i was thrilled with the number of black women that were assistants in all of this. that made me feel more comfortable to be honest. all the doctors were excellent and to the point. the doctor that did the procedure basically asked me if i had any questions. i said no and it was go time. i don't think i ever really went to sleep. i knew once i couldn't feel myself biting down on the bite guard, i was high as a kite. i saw a bright orange light and before you knew it, i was done. the doctor told my sister that everything went well and they didn't find anything. the nurse told me that the doctor noticed a minor irritation in my stomach but everything went great. my sister only got 2 bites of her salad before i was done. i honestly felt like i could drive home without any problems, but i didn't. my sister's friends told her that i was going to get the best sleep ever. that made me laugh. we were back home a little after noon.

the New York Rangers won last night in OT over Minnesota, 3-2. The King passed Curtis Joseph for 5th all-time in goalie victories.

The Voice was pretty good last night. i have no damn clue who will be eliminated tonight.

Monday Night Raw was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and WWE Backstage.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight against Virginia Tech. if they win, they will play for the championship out in Maui tomorrow.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i take mom to get her glasses and make a trip to the grocery store.

it's supposed to be windy as fuck tomorrow, so it should be interesting.

the rain is supposed to be coming tonight. thank god i could start taking my pain pills again.

that's all for me kids. i hope everyone has a wonderful evening.

until tomorrow...

todavía no pueden matarme

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...

and here comes the pain

i believe my mother was shocked yesterday when i helped her with Christmas lights and some decorations. she wrongly believes that i hate this shit. it's more that i hate my memories of Christmas and all the fucking dysfunction and fights. having a father that made sure he got himself the best gift possible each year really disgusted any happy thought i would ever have of Christmas. but, now that the demon that spawned me has died, i can now do a little more with trying to create my own Christmas memories. plus, my mom wants to shock my sister since she believes we do nothing here other than sit on the computer and wait for death. good times.

amazingly, the New Orleans Saints actually won yesterday. i was so damn shocked i actually forgot to have my victory beer. i'll enjoy that this evening. the defense played probably the best it had played all season. and a 24-17 victory over a team with thoughts of making the playoffs was a very nice way to put a little joy into this miserable season.

Tables Ladders and Chairs was a pretty fun ppv last night on WWE Network. i was a little upset that they teased some fire in one of the matches but didn't do it. also, i'm hoping that Kevin Owens losing the Intercontinental Championship last night is a sign that he's going to be in the World Title scene soon and not shuffled back down to obscurity. the main event was somewhat boring until Roman Reigns snapped. kudos to HHH for still taking a beating like that at his age. it should make for an interesting Monday Night Raw tonight.

the Stone Cold Podcast with HBK after the ppv was pretty good as well.

Homeland was fucking perfect last night. just enough tension and drama that sets up the finale next week to be a great one.

The Affair was excellent as well last night. i really can't wait to see what happens on the season finale.

my fantasy football teams got ravaged by injuries yesterday. i've already lost 2 of the matches. the third one i have a 12 point lead and i have to win to make the playoffs in all 3 leagues. that might be the only thing i will get to be proud of this season. i won another week in fantasy hockey. that's two in a row. maybe the worm has turned.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and the Adele in NYC special on NBC. i'm really interested to see how the first night of The Voice finale goes.

the book i ordered from Ally Malinenko arrived today. i'm really looking forward to reading it.

i think i might be going out with mom today to get an outdoor timer for the Christmas lights. i'm hoping that the cold front has moved through the area. i hate going out in the rain.

my uncle seems to be doing better. i think he's going to be in the hospital one more day. i'm hoping someone there tells him how close he came to dying. it's time they stop sugarcoating chemo and the cancer he has. he wanted to be aggressive and fight it and it nearly killed him. maybe he wants to rethink that strategy. or maybe he wants to give us all a Christmas memory.

when i say all the time i come from a dysfunctional family, i'm not bullshitting you or embellishing the stories to make it sound worse. you learn as a writer, nothing can be scarier than the truth.

i hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. if not, have another drink.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

bring on the pain

when i hear rain on the metal roof of the house when i'm falling asleep, i know i'm going to at least get a few hours. when i hear it when i first wake up in the morning, i know a day of misery is ahead of me. but, bring on the pain as the crops are desperate for a good drink. so far, it's been a slow drizzle with a little thunder. as long as it doesn't get crazy, this is exactly what the crops need today.

the Yankees fell behind last night, took the lead, and then, yes, you guessed it, pissed away another game against Houston, 5-2. this team plays down to its competition and has paid for it all season long. they play early this afternoon. hopefully the game puts me to sleep or the satellite feed goes out.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. sadly, it looks like Zach is going to get the boot tonight. but, hopefully in the latest twist, he comes back into the house right after eviction. if not, all i hope is that somehow that fucking sociopath Frankie doesn't win.

Brew Dogs was really good last night. they made a beer in New Orleans. i really need to get to that town at some point in my life. although, chances are, i won't leave.

The Bridge was spectacular last night. this season isn't as good as the first one was but it is as close as you can get to being as good. i love the small world feel as the characters are getting closer and closer to being intertwined. i can't wait for next week.

also tonight, i'll be watching Married and You're The Worst on FX.

the New York Rangers surprised me yesterday by winning the Kevin Hayes sweepstakes. he should fit in quite nicely with how AV wants the guys to play.

i figure i might flip over to FXX sometime in the next 12 days for The Simpsons marathon. that's one of the myriad of shows that i never really got into over my 38 years on earth.

that's all for today kids. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises, and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease my enemies...

what up fools

as some of you may know, April is poetry month. so, this year i am going to put a link to either a poem, or a story, or an article, or something at the start of each blog as my little ode to national poetry month. so, today, here you go:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/victoria-chang/13-poetry-collections-for_b_5065153.html

i'm a little stunned at the moment as i was fully expecting Manchester United to get hammered today. amazingly, they drew 1-1. of course, Bayern gets the big away goal but at least this gives me hope that next week in Germany United has a chance. this also pisses me off as i wonder where the fuck was this defensive effort in the Premier League this year. oh well.

a big night for me as the New York Yankees start another season. and it is the last season for Derek Jeter. so, i'll probably be a sap in this blog from time to time with my memories of my second favorite Yankee of all time. they start the season in Houston, which hopefully leads to some wins right away.

also tonight, the New York Rangers play in Vancouver. so, more stories about the coaches seeing their old teams, etc... all i really give a shit about is the Rangers winning.

also tonight is the next episode of The Voice. they are hyping this as amazing tonight... we'll see. i did enjoy last night's episode. i still believe Usher has the best team.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. Bray Wyatt has the chance to be one of the best ever cutting promos. and i really enjoyed Daniel Bryan beating the shit out of HHH at the end. that should set up this weekend rather well. i'll be getting Wrestlemania and whenever we move, i do plan on getting the WWE Network. but i'll definitely need a better high speed internet for that to happen.

i didn't do much today as my mom wasn't feeling well so i made sure to be around for her. she has surgery in a few weeks so i think her nerves may be getting to her. so, i'm trying to be the asshole that makes her laugh and take her minds off of things. good times.

got another cartoon from my friend in Sweden today. i'm going to have to find a publisher for this shit. it's too good not to be seen.

that's all for me today kids. no good April Fools jokes today, other than what The Flaming Lips pulled off. i was busy trying to clean up messes in the cellar. fun.

i'll be on here sometime in the afternoon tomorrow. i'm planning on doing some groundwork on getting ready to send some poems out here soon. so expect plenty of music to be consumed tomorrow.

take it easy my enemies, and then take it again.
