honestly, i never thought the goals record in hockey was ever going to fall. Alex Ovechkin just need one goal to set the new record.
a delightful trip into the dark mind of an evil genius or simply the musings of an asshole

hello anger, i remember you...
so, i just got off the phone with someone at Humana. my Medicaid cards didn't show up again today. the lady told me they were mailed out on the 24th. i said when i called last week, i was told they were mailed out on the 21st. she tells me they were requested on the 21st, but mailed out on the 24th. give it a little more time. i wanted to fucking scream. so yeah, i have an appointment later today to get my blood work done. i won't be fasting like the doctor wanted. they'll get over it. i have to check in online for my doctor's appointment tomorrow. i was hoping to have my new insurance for that. and i have pills i need to pick up. fuck me.
the Yankees won yesterday, 12-3, to sweep the Brewers. they are off today and start a series tomorrow at home against Arizona.

better late than never...
i'm going to start this blog off with the WWE Elimination Chamber from last night. i was pleasantly shocked that the whole show was better than i was expecting. of course, what everyone is talking about now is John Cena finally turning heel. teaming with the Rock to destroy Cody Rhodes was not on my bingo card. as one person put it last night, the road to WrestleMania just went from 0 to 100 pretty fucking fast.

a restless evening...
the Dayton Flyers lost last night at Loyola Chicago, 77-72. considering that Dayton lost their starting point guard and had a ton of turnovers, the score was closer than what it should be. at least i got the over correct.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.

first time at an Applebee's in over a decade...
so, i did make the drive to take my mother to see her new gastro doc today. he is way better than her old one and actually gave her a correct diagnosis for what she has for the first time in 20 years. after that appointment, we went to Applebee's. that was the first time i had been in an Applebee's in over a decade. that's the beauty of living in a town that basically has nothing but fast food joints. drive 30 miles away and suddenly civilization exists. lunch was good. it was the first time i was ever in a place and everyone got the same alert on their phone at the same time. gave me a good impression of what the apocalypse will be like.
the New York Rangers won last night at Philadelphia, 3-2, in OT. tonight, they play at home against Ottawa. also, tonight will be the first time, Patrick Kane plays with the Rangers. i am fucking pumped for this game tonight.

i did get some poems written...
my back has been killing me here lately. but, i did get some poems written late last night. of course, that has meant that i haven't done shit today. it never fails honestly. these winter blues constantly kick my ass and all the tricks i have learned over the years to combat them don't work anymore. but, the poems were really good. i will hopefully get some submissions out soon.

i don't mind being the asshole
yesterday was one of the more frustrating days of my life and that has boiled over to today. and this has nothing to do with sports, even though i would have a good argument to make... mom is in self-sabotage mode and it is really pissing me off. i'm pretty sure she didn't take any of her medicine yesterday and i know for a fact she hasn't taken any of it today. i asked her plainly if this was the way she wants to die? she said no. she had one bite of a grilled cheese sandwich i made her last night. other than that, all she had was the french toast and bacon we had for breakfast. and she has had nothing to eat today. and she wonders why she feels weird, has pissed her pants 5 different times today and doesn't understand what is going on. i told her like she preached to us kids when we were growing up, choices and consequences. so, i'm hoping i can get her to take her damn meds and actually eat something when she wakes up. i told her, when her insurance company comes to do the Medicare checkup and she is out of it mentally, don't blame me when you get taken away somewhere. and to top everything else off, the fucking Highlander has a flat tire. joy.
the New York Rangers lost last night in Nashville, 2-1. they play tonight at home against Arizona.

still buzzing from some Game 7 magic...
last night was one of those nights. i was completely glued in to Game 7 between the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins. and the joy from a memorable Game 7, is i never come down from that high for a few days. the Rangers scored first last night. that made me happy. but, just like the last two elimination games, they fell behind, 3-2, going into the 3rd period. the Rangers scored late in the 3rd to send the game to overtime. there is something magical about Game 7 overtimes at MSG. this was no different. the Rangers got a great play from K'Andre Miller to draw a penalty on the Penguins. and wouldn't you know, Artemi Panarin scored on the power play to give the Rangers a 4-3 OT victory. they became the first team in NHL history to come back from a 3-1 deficit in a series where they had to come from behind in each of the elimination games to win the series. they will face the Carolina Hurricanes, starting on Wednesday. this was the first time in 5 years the Rangers have advanced to the second round.

ashes, exactly what the world is turning to...
having never been a Catholic or much of a Christian to be honest, i have never given two shits about Ash Wednesday. i believe i once called it in a poem target practice for future serial killers. i know someone out there is ashamed they just laughed.
all of the shopping today went better than i expected. i got everything that was left on the grocery list at Kroger. i mainly focused on getting suet for the birds at Menards. i did get a few other things, mostly to take advantage of the 11% rebate going on. all in all, i think i spent less than $200 today, which is a minor fucking miracle anymore.
NXT was really good last night.
the Dayton Flyers won last night at Richmond, 55-53. RJ Blakney had the game winning dunk. that victory means Dayton will get the double bye in the A10 tournament.

well, it warmed up some today
it warmed up enough to melt everything around here today. i went out to Big Lots since i had a 20% off coupon that was expiring soon. i found everything i was looking for and kept everything under $30. i got 5 packs of baseball cards and i got some pretty nice 2021 Topps Update Series rookies in them.
i'm not going to the basketball game tonight. my back is not really good enough right now to be able to sit that long at a game. it always gets like this in the winter. and it never fails that my back will be killing me around my birthday anymore. good times. at least the Dayton Flyers game tonight against St. Bonaventure will be on ESPN+.
i did watch a little of the NFL playoff game between the Rams and Cardinals last night. it wasn't much of a game to be honest. the Rams won, 34-11.

another week begins...
it rained overnight here. i wondered why i woke up with pain at 7 this morning. another 4 hours of sleep. when it gets really bad, i end up napping most of the morning. and when that happens, i don't get around to doing anything (like shopping, going to the bank, etc.) until after 2 PM. i just love dealing with school buses these days. the bank i normally go to was closed for some fucking reason. i had to get mom some snacks she likes at Big Lots. then i had to travel to the next town over to go the bank. i said fuck it, and stopped at the Rite Aid to get some baseball cards. i paid $5 for a Fairfield box and it had roughly $25 worth of cards in it. that works for me. and then i had to get gas as i was under 1/4 of a tank. thankfully, i had a $1 off a gallon at Kroger, so i was able to get gas for under $2 a gallon. that made me happy.
the Yankees won yesterday at the White Sox, 5-3. they start a homestand tonight against the Angels in a make up game from earlier this season. hopefully, they will win.
