yet another twist...

 so, i talked to Kroger today and i guess my insurance company denied the Rybelsus the doctor wanted to put me on instead of Trulicity. i have no damn clue what comes next. i'm trying to remain calm and have plenty of patience, but this shit is on my fucking nerves. as i joked with mom last week, my death solves so many things...

the Yankees lost last night at the Mets, 9-7. i hope they find a way to win tonight, but it is obvious, given all the injuries now, they probably won't.

i did watch some of the Copa America games last night and Euro 2024 games today. i am still shocked that Georgia beat Portugal today 2-0. i will probably watch some of the Copa America games tonight.

NXT was very good last night.

Deadliest Catch was very good last night as well.

i was hoping to get all of the grocery shopping done before the rain started today. it started to sprinkle as i was on my way home. right now, it is fucking pouring. 

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and NJPW.

i do plan on watching the NBA Draft tonight. i am very interested to see where DaRon Holmes II goes. he is supposed to be drafted in the first round. if he is, he will be the 4th player from Dayton to achieve that.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning, before mom has physical therapy in the afternoon.

i have no clue what i'm making for dinner tonight. i do have plenty of options though.

that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

 i figured the sun and great weather wouldn't last. and of course, it will be stormy on the day i do my grocery shopping. joy. i did get mom to her appointment with her ear doctor. i wrote one poem while i was there. i was hoping for more but glad i got the one out. i had the opening line for the poem in my head for the last 3 days.

here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:

the New York Rangers won last night at home against Ottawa, 4-0. the playoffs will start for them this weekend. they will play whatever team wins the last playoff spot in the East.

the Yankees lost last night at Toronto, 3-1. hopefully, they will win tonight.

i saw the news last night that Koby Brea will transfer from Dayton for his final year in college basketball. i was a bit sad about it but not shocked. i'm hoping he goes to a big school and gets plenty of exposure and gets to realize his NBA dream.

unexpected perfection...

 so, i was paying attention to the Yankees game while i was watching other things last night. when it got to the 7th inning, i was like well, i need to flip over. by that time, Domingo German was 7 innings into a perfect game. i watched the last two innings wondering which Yankee was going to fuck this up. thankfully, that didn't happen. Domingo German threw the 24th perfect game in major league history. it was also the 4th one in Yankees history. i think he gave up like 17 runs in his last 2 starts, so to say this was unexpected is an understatement. after the game last night, Domingo let it be known his uncle died 2 days ago and this game was for him. the Yankees can win the series this afternoon.

the USMNT won last night in the Gold Cup, 6-0. they play Trinidad & Tobago on Sunday.

AEW Dynamite was really good last night.

Mayans M.C. was great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW.

i think mom wants to go looking for some new shoes after her physical therapy this afternoon. of course, there is also a chance of rain today, so there's just as much of a chance she will change her mind.

i do hope i'll get some poems written while she is in physical therapy.

i did watch some of the NHL Draft last night. i am thrilled with the New York Rangers pick.

i will probably be on here tomorrow in the afternoon.

i need to start getting ready, so that's all for me kids.

well, that escalated quickly...

 so, i am in a bit of shock this morning. my sister got into it with me over our mother this morning. she doesn't like the way i am being her caretaker. my sister doesn't like that mom doesn't have every single pill she needs to take labeled and already into where it needs to go for her to take it. she then complained to me about what the doctor's office gives her after her visits. i explained to my sister that mom is an adult. i treat her as such. there are days where she doesn't feel like living. i respect that because i respect her rights. i told my sister i have come to terms with the fact that mom is going to die and i'm not going to force her to take her pills if she doesn't want to. add in the fact that mom wasn't exactly hungry this morning and that set my sister off. she packed all her shit and told us before she left she is cutting off our phones on Monday, so we need to figure that shit out. 

so yeah, Happy Mother's Day.

i joked with mom, see what happens when a caffeine addict doesn't get her coffee in the morning. basically, my sister doesn't want to be involved, but when she is, it has to be done her way or she takes her ball and goes home.

this isn't how i thought my Saturday morning was going to start. fuck me.

mom did have her MRI yesterday. i wrote 5 poems while she was having that done. i'm really hoping the MRI shows what is going on and hopefully allows the doctors to figure out the next steps. as for the poems, i really liked them. i typed them up around 2 AM or so. i will hopefully get some poems out later today or tomorrow.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.

AEW Rampage was very good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was very funny last night.

A Black Lady Sketch Show was fucking hilarious last night. the season finale is next week.

the Yankees got rained out today, again. the series against the Texas Rangers will now be a doubleheader on Sunday and a day game on Monday.

i guess i'll spend the rest of today going over cell plans and figuring out the best thing for mom and i to do. i know i want to get the phones switched to wherever before my sister cuts them off. if she does that, i guarantee you it will be at some time Monday morning.

that's all for me today kids.

the New York Rangers won last night over Montreal, 3-2. 

the USMNT was lucky to get a 1-1 draw against Jamaica yesterday. considering how they played, the draw was certainly better than a loss. they are second in the group now as Canada beat Mexico last night.

The Voice was good last night. the two that got eliminated were the two i gave the lowest scores to, so i wasn't sad at all to see them leave.

NXT was really good last night.

the New York Rangers lost last night to Carolina, 4-1. the Rangers had a lead in the series for all of 3 minutes. they were outworked the entire series. so, i'm not going to bitch and moan about this or that, Carolina deserved to win. now, i can only hope that the Rangers get the #1 pick in the NHL Draft and hope that The King wants to stay or wants to go win a cup somewhere else and agrees to a trade. joy.

i nearly forgot that Manchester United was playing today in the Europa League. it's the second leg of their match from months ago. they are up 5-0 going into the match today. it's currently 0-0, so i haven't missed much.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother, NXT and AEW.

the New York Yankees play a doubleheader today at Philadelphia. i'd be thrilled if they can win both games today.

i did write 4 poems last night after the Rangers loss. thankfully, none of them had to do with hockey. i typed those up and i should have enough to do another round of submissions here soon.

the grocery stores were pretty quiet today. i had to go to 3 stores to get everything on the list. i did manage to keep everything around $100 though.

i did pick up some baseball cards today. it was one of those cheap packs at the drugstore. i wasn't expecting much out of it. there was a few hits, including one card going for $8, so that made me happy.

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

until then kids...

like finding a little gold...

so, i spent a good portion of yesterday going through my old baseball cards. holy shit. i forgot about so many of the cards i already had. and i nearly shit myself when i found a Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card i forgot about, let alone the Jack Morris rookie card. when i looked up what that is going for these days, i nearly screamed. so yeah, i think i have the bug again.

while doing that, i also got my laundry done and i wrote and typed up 5 poems.

Austin City Limits was very good last night. it was the episode that had H.E.R. on it. hopefully, i won't delete it this time.

ROH was really good last night.

i will be on here tomorrow sometime after my doctor's appointment. it's really just a nurse visit to get the shot i was supposed to get back in April, but i have no clue if that is all they are really going to do or not.

i told mom to make sure she tells me if she needs anything while i'm out since i will be pretty close to the Meijer i shop at. at the very least, that will give me the chance to see if i can find any 2020 Bowman baseball cards.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

i did type up the 3 poems i wrote the other day last night. they are really good. i should get out another round of submissions before Thanksgiving, but should and reality are two different beasts.

i had to go out to the local grocery store to get a few things for mom today. i forget just how gloomy this fucking area gets when fall and winter comes around. joy.

Smackdown was fucking amazing last night. when Becky Lynch chose Charlotte to replace her against Ronda Rousey this Sunday at Survivor Series, i quickly had thoughts of what is coming next. setting up the 4 horsewomen of WWE against the 4 horsewomen of MMA. yes please. and then came the stunning heel turn by Daniel Bryan (thank god) and winning the title from AJ Styles. that sets up a match i never thought i would see this Sunday, Daniel Bryan vs. Brock Lesnar. well, it looks like i will be watching Survivor Series after all. holy shit.

The Voice was good last night. i really don't have any complaints about who moved on and who got sent home. all my favorites are still on the show.

The Jim Jefferies Show was fucking hilarious last night.

i did watch both episodes of NXT UK this afternoon. they were very good.

i'll be on here sometime tomorrow between folding clothes and bitching about a bad back.

good at taking punches...

it was a restless evening. i got in bed around 2. i don't think i fell asleep until around 4. i was up around 9. soon after waking up, my mom told me that my sister had texted her. a guy my sister and i went to school with died yesterday. i was walking outside when mom said that and it was like getting punched in the gut. there was an immediate rush of memories from oh so many years ago. plenty of parties and good times. i have no clue what killed him. it did make me think of my own mortality today. as much as i want to believe i'm just getting started, i know damn well the end is much closer than i want to believe.

i guess mom is getting different seats for the University of Dayton basketball games this season. we're going to be on the opposite side of the arena now. she'll only have to go down 2 rows to get to the seats. the reason she didn't go much the last couple of seasons is she didn't think she could walk down to the seats without falling. so, it will certainly feel different watching the games from the new seats. i think my stepfather's family had the old seats from the time the place was built.

the New York Yankees won last night in 12 innings over the Marlins, 2-1. of course, there just had to be another injury. Aroldis Chapman left after just 6 pitches last night. joy. hopefully, the Yankees can win tonight and manage to do so without any more fucking injuries.

Smackdown was really good last night. amazingly, the WWE put on 4 damn good shows the last 4 days in Brooklyn.

205 Live was really good last night as well.

The Jim Jefferies Show was fucking hilarious last night.

Deadliest Catch was good last night. the season finale is next week.

thankfully, it's been cool enough today to open the windows and let the house air out a bit. that's fucking rare for August in Ohio, that's for sure.

where pain meets depression and madness starts to laugh

i have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday afternoon. the swelling in my leg went down some overnight. it's still at a level where i would love to know what the fuck is going on. it doesn't feel like when i had blood clots a decade ago, so i'm hoping that's a good sign.

i've spent most of the afternoon talking to my best friend as it looks like she's busy talking herself out of getting the treatment she needs for her breast cancer. and then of course, she'll change her mind 20 minutes later. i seriously wonder how far off she is on her meds. and it's so much fun getting all this dumped on you when you can't do a damn thing about it. these are the afternoons where you can't find another word for hopeless.

and since it's supposed to rain later on tonight, my arthritis is starting to flare up. that then starts to fuck with my nerves. it's a symphony of pain. these are the days where i wish i wouldn't have talked myself out of doing heroin when i was 18.

Westworld was amazing last night.

Last Week Tonight was fucking brilliant as always.

Billions was very good last night.

I'm Dying Up Here was really good last night.

the New York Yankees whipped the Royals yesterday 10-1. that's the 8th straight series the Yankees have won. they haven't done that since 1998. they start a series tonight at Texas.

bring on the weekend...

i went into the kitchen this morning and nearly screamed it was so fucking cold. luckily, i didn't as my sister was still sleeping in the next room. the insulation we put in has helped, but our kitchen has like 9 fucking windows. i bet all of them are allowing heat to leak out. good times.

the Dayton Flyers were without Charles Cooke again last night. so when Rhode Island got out to an early 10 point lead, it was what i expected. thankfully, Dayton decided they weren't about to get punk'd at home. they battled and battled and eventually took the lead for good in the second half. Dayton made just enough free throws down the stretch to win the game 67-64. i loved the victory mostly because i can't fucking stand Rhode Island's coach, such a whiny piece of shit. Dayton is now 3-0 in conference play. hopefully they can keep it going. they next play at UMass on Wednesday.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of reporting.

i got up early this morning to watch Manchester United take on Reading in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. United got off to a great start, with Wayne Rooney scoring his 249th goal for the club. he draws level with Sir Bobby Charlton's record. Anthony Martial scored a few minutes later. Marcus Rashford scored two in the second half for a 4-0 victory.
