before another round of storms...

 i was saddened last night when i saw that Val Kilmer had died. one of those sneaky actors that could do anything and was in so many of my favorite movies.

as for this day of National Poetry Month:

the Yankees lost last night at home to Arizona, 7-5. hopefully, they will win tonight.

NXT was very good last night.

St. Denis Medical was pretty funny last night.

Dark Side of the Ring was crazy last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight (weather permitting) will be AEW Dynamite, Abbott Elementary and The Masked Singer.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Minnesota.

the grocery shopping went well today. i saved over $50 on what i got. that always makes mom happy. the pharmacy has my new insurance in the system, so i'm hoping that will help with the prices.

i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to the accountant to get the taxes done.

i'm hoping the weather won't be too bad tonight.

i have no clue what i am doing for dinner tonight.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

i think 13 out of 16 is good...

 i got 13 out of 16 of the sweet sixteen correct, so i am pretty happy about that.

the USMNT lost to Canada yesterday, 2-1. it is quite obvious, they need a much larger group of players to choose from.

The White Lotus was amazing last night.

The Righteous Gemstone was fucking hilarious last night.

i think Monday Night Raw is on Netflix this afternoon. i am going to try to watch that when i get home from taking mom to her doctor's appointment.

i talked to my insurance agent this morning. i finally got the letter he was telling me to call him about back in January. i guess on March 1st, Medicaid approved my application. he sent the application in December of last year. he was happy that they accepted me as it should drive the prices down for me. i had one question though. if i got approved on March 1st and didn't know about it until March 22nd, what 3 to 4 day period am i to believe that my Medicaid card will be sent to me? he believes i should already have it, as do i. he did give the number to cancel my other insurance with. thankfully, that hasn't been paid yet for next month.

i'm not going to cancel the insurance until the cards come, that's for sure.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

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

until then...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

so this is what sleep feels like...

 i got my usual 4 hours of sleep last night. but, this time, i got it all at once. i didn't wake up every 45 minutes or so. amazingly, i actually felt refreshed waking up this morning. what a concept.

so, i lost 2 sweet sixteen teams yesterday. if that is all i lose and i get 14 of the 16 right, i will be happy. i doubt i will get that lucky today.

the Dayton Flyers lost yesterday at Chattanooga, 87-72. that ends the college careers of 5 players. who knows how many transfer out or in. i just know the team will look different next season.

the New York Rangers won yesterday at home over Vancouver, 5-3.

i did watch plenty of college basketball yesterday.

AEW Collision was ok last night. part 2 is on tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Americas, AEW Collision, The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones, Power Book III: Raising Kanan and Yellowjackets.

 ok, might as well start this off with where yesterday began...

Manchester United and Arsenal finished 1-1 yesterday. United almost won a few different times, but i guess only Bruno is allowed to score anymore.

the New York Rangers had their asses handed to them yesterday at home against Columbus, 7-3. if this is how they are going to play and think they are going to make the playoffs, oh boy.

The Americas was very good last night.

The White Lotus was excellent last night.

The Righteous Gemstones was fucking hilarious last night.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan was really good last night.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

Yellowjackets was fucking crazy last night.

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice. i'll watch Monday Night Raw sometime tonight on Netflix.

i have to take mom to the eye doctor tomorrow morning. she's hoping that her vision is good enough to actually get some new glasses. i'm hoping she feels well enough to go as she hasn't been feeling good today.

i need to go cook dinner. i have some ground lamb i need to cook. i'm going to treat it like sausage and make some cheesy eggs to go with it for dinner.

i hope everyone had a good weekend.

after a restless night of sleep...

 as i explained to my mother last night about sports karma, i told her since Manchester United got a win they probably didn't deserve, the games tonight are going to be a punch in the dick. sure enough.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to the Penguins, who were missing their two best players, Crosby and Malkin. the Rangers lost, 3-2. well, they play tonight at Columbus. i won't be shocked if they fucking lose tonight as well. and if they do, it will be time to blow up the team and be sellers at the trade deadline.

the Dayton Flyers lost last night at home to VCU, 73-68. you can't have more turnovers than assists in a game and win. and the sad thing is, Dayton was winning in the second half. yet another piss poor coaching job... they will have to win the A10 tournament now if they want to make the NCAA tournament.

i did write 1 poem last night. i will probably send out some poems later today.

we're supposed to get some rain and/or freezing rain today. so, i'll be icing my back down today as well.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

i will probably be on here tomorrow long before i settle in to watch the Super Bowl.

a day older than i was yesterday...

 well, today has been interesting. i believe Substack has become a tool of the russian bots. there is no fucking way all these single women think i'm attractive and want to fuck me. hell, even when i thought i was handsome, twenty some fucking years ago, there wasn't that many then either. but, i also want to believe that many one of these are real, an actual fan of my poetry, etc. i know, first world problems...

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.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Abbott Elementary, Inside the NFL and AEW Dynamite.

the USMNT takes on Costa Rica tonight. hopefully, they will win.

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.

i have no damn clue what we're doing for dinner tonight.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at home against UNLV. the game is on Peacock.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Nashville. i'm hoping they will find a way to win, but i'm not counting on it.

i guess Orkin is coming here in the morning and they are actually going to finally, get in the attic and see if there has been any damages. if there hasn't, i would love for them to fix the fucking hole the squirrels or racoons did and take the fucking traps away. nothing says Christmas cheer like a fucking trap hanging from the fucking soffit. 

i should be on here in the afternoon after i get the grocery shopping done.

i need to get started on dinner, so that's all for me today kids...

the guy that does our lawn came by yesterday to let us know he won't be doing it anymore. so, mom and i have to decide what we want to do.

Manchester United lost yesterday at home to Nottingham Forest, 3-2. i wasn't thrilled with that. and then i woke up this morning to the news that their sporting director has left the club. given the statement that United put out, it is beyond obvious he got fired. chaos upon chaos. great.

the Dayton Flyers won yesterday at home against Lehigh, 86-62.

Manchester United won yesterday at home against Barnsley, 7-0. holy shit, that was beautiful to watch.

the Yankees won last night in Seattle, 11-2. the magic number to make the playoffs is 1. the magic number to clinch the division is 8. they have a 4 game lead over the Orioles in the AL East. i think they have a 1 1/2 game lead over Cleveland for the best record in the American League.

so, the Yankees have this terrible tendency this season to play down to their opponents level. last night was the perfect example as they lost to the White Sox in Chicago, 12-2. thank fucking god i didn't watch any of the game.

the Yankees lost again last night at the Mets, 12-2. they start a series tonight at Toronto.

i did watch most of the first round of the NBA Draft last night. i was so happy to see DaRon Holmes II got drafted at number 22. and i love that he is going to play for the Denver Nuggets.

AEW Dynamite was good last night.

nothing on the DVR tonight.

i did hear from my doctor's office this morning. apparently, they noticed on the rejection from my insurance company, they didn't fill out a part of the original prescription. so, they have done that now, i guess, and have resubmitted it. i just checked at Kroger and the Rybelsus should be ready by tomorrow afternoon. i told my mother if i die before her and it isn't suicide, put in the obituary he died most likely from a clerical error.

the second round of the NBA Draft is this afternoon. to be honest, all anyone is waiting for is when does LeBron James son get drafted.

the Copa America games start tonight at 6. i'll be watching those instead of the presidential debate.

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

i believe the book i did with Casey Renee Kiser, will be going to print soon.
