my back has basically been shit for over 20 years now. so, i have learned a few tricks along the way on how to cope when my bad back decides it doesn't want to cooperate. first, plenty of ice. i mean, i made my room last night basically an ice box. AC running and my fan running as well. that helped some. stretching is a necessity. when my back is barking, i try to do it slow and deliberate. same with walking. if i can walk long enough, the back seems to loosen up and the pain dies down. now, the problem is, that pain always comes back. mom asked earlier if i wanted some Tylenol. i told her no, because i end up having to take 6 to even touch the pain. i'll just stick to Jack Daniels. and that boys and girls is why i doubt i will live a long life. of course, the state of Ohio could just make marijuana legal and then maybe i can be as close to pain free as i have been since birth.
grocery shopping took forever today, but i was expecting that. the landscapers were out today as well. they got the backyard done today. i'm sure the guy that mows our grass will be happy.
the Yankees won last night at Detroit, 4-2. holy shit, two wins in a row. they are currently up tonight on Detroit, 2-0.

a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:
i think i didn't sleep more than 3 hours or so last night. i tossed and turned most of the evening. i'm not sure why i was so damn restless. maybe i see the end, maybe there's a blind turn in the road, maybe tomorrow is something i'm dreading... i have no damn clue.
i did send out 5 poems last night to Reprehensible Digest. Art mentioned something on LinkedIn that he wanted more work. thank god i have been prolific for most of this year. he said that he should have enough now to have plenty of ammunition in the next few weeks. so, i believe that will be a good thing.
i didn't care for the Champions League draw Manchester United got. i don't see a way for them to get out of the group stage, sadly.
the New York Yankees lost last night to the White Sox, 4-1. that's the first time the White Sox have won a series in the Bronx since 2005. the Yankees start a series tonight at home against the Tigers. hopefully, they will win.
Big Brother was pretty good last night. i fully expect Faysal to be voted out tonight and i hope Scottie wins the Battle Back. i figure the producers want Bayleigh to win.
NXT was really good last night.
Lucha Underground was excellent last night.
Mr. Mercedes was great last night.
