tax day...

 i actually got more than 4 hours of sleep last night. i'm guessing i must have found a slot where my pinched nerve didn't bother me. or, the rye whiskey did the trick. 

the New York Rangers won last night at Florida, 5-3. it was the first time all season they had a multi-goal comeback. sure, do it after you are eliminated from playoff contention.

the New York Yankees won last night at home against the Royals, 4-1. 

The Voice was excellent last night.

Monday Night Raw was great last night. WrestleMania is this weekend.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT and Dark Side of the Ring.

here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:

woke up to the single digits...

 mom has all these plants in the kitchen. she woke up last night after 1 hour of sleep to see how they were and get some heat on out there. i was still up since she has the tendency to sleep walk sometimes. i told her wouldn't it make more sense to just turn the furnace up. thankfully, that logic made sense to her and she went back to sleep. one thing i can say with certainty, there will be no plants in this house once she dies.

i wrote 2 poems last night. anytime i get close to my birthday, the poems start to flow. misery and death never seem to be that far away.

the New York Rangers lost at Montreal last night, 5-4 in OT.

the conference championship games are set in the NFL. the Bills beat the Ravens last night, 27-25. Buffalo will play at the Chiefs for the AFC championship. the Eagles beat the Rams yesterday, 28-22. the Eagles will host the Commanders for the NFC championship.

The Agency was excellent last night. next week is the season finale.

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight. i'll be watching the Ohio State vs. Notre Dame game tonight for the national championship. after that, i'll probably watch some of Monday Night Raw on Netflix.

i do plan on watching some NBA games today.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

i know i will be doing some writing today and tomorrow and probably send out some poems as well.

a snowy Tuesday...

 well, here is the Highlander update. the car battery charger showed up today from Amazon. i put it on for a couple hours and the battery wasn't charged yet. i decided fuck it, i'm not going to risk this shit. so, now i have AAA coming to install a new battery in it. they are about $20 cheaper than any place around me. so, i'm hoping that will solve the battery issues and allow me to get done what i need to get done this week; grocery shopping and getting my drivers license renewed.

i did write 5 poems last night, all for the book. the last one i wrote last night brought me to tears, so i'm thinking i might name the book after that poem. i have 3 more to go to reach 40. i'm planning on getting those done tonight and then get the book manuscript out to JPR in the next day or so. he wants all 40 poems together in one file. i haven't done it that way before, so i will try to allot myself plenty of time to get that done. but, it looks like i will accomplish the goal of getting it done before my birthday on the 21st.

AAA just called and the guy will be here in 50 minutes. it's snowing and he is coming from south of town during rush hour. i completely understand.

the NFL playoff game surprised a little bit last night. i didn't think the Vikings were going to be that bad. the Rams won, 27-9. the Rams will now play at the Eagles.

Monday Night Raw was excellent last night. i am so happy for Penta.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, St. Denis Medical and the season finale of Hard Knocks.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Colorado.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done tomorrow. it is supposed to be colder than shit tomorrow. joy.

i am not as depressed as i thought i would be today after all the bullshit of yesterday. i guess i wrote it out of me last night. helps that the poems i sent to Synchronized Chaos will be published tomorrow. of course, one of them is about the scam artist.

ok kids, i'm off to the living room to see when the guy from AAA gets to here to install the new battery.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

what a waste...

 so, i got home from the grocery store in time to watch the Manchester United game today. they were at home playing against FC Twente in the Europa League. United went up 1-0 in the first half. now, i really wish they would have been clinical today and scored 3 or 4 goals, like they could have. instead, they pissed away chance after chance and when you do that, even a shit team will punish you. that is what happened today as the game finished 1-1. fuck me.

i only got 3 1/2 hours of sleep last night, so i have been extra pissy today. grocery shopping didn't help that much. the lady that bagged my groceries at Kroger didn't know what the fuck she was doing. i mean, who doesn't stack heavy shit on top of bread? so, i hit a bump going out to the Highlander in the parking lot and a few things fell out of the bags and on to the pavement. imagine my fucking joy.

NXT was good last night. that was the last episode on the USA Network. next week it will debut on the CW.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

the Yankees lost last night at home to Baltimore, 5-3. that clinches a playoff birth for the Orioles. now, hopefully, the Yankees will win the division tonight.

the New York Rangers won last night against the Islanders, 6-4. what the score doesn't tell you is the Islanders were up 4-1 in the 3rd period.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, Big Brother, two episodes of Grotesquerie and The Masked Singer.

i don't have a damn clue what i am doing for dinner.

trade deadline day...

 today is the trade deadline day in the MLB. i'm a little less than thrilled with what the Yankees have done so far. i'm holding out hope for a big time pitcher before 6 PM.

my back has been killing me today. thankfully, i did make it to the post office to get some books back to my partner in crime. trust me when i say this folks, this book is going to be great:

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 have no damn clue what i'm making for dinner tonight. i'm hoping the chicken i took out of the freezer has thawed or i might be making a trip into town...

not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. we started moving the living room around, so i'm guessing that will be a major part of tomorrow.
