so, my doctor's appointment didn't go well yesterday. my A1C is still too fucking high. so, they are changing my Trulicity yet again. i'm hoping this time it will work as expected. also, my blood pressure was up. i tend to believe that my stress level is through the fucking roof anymore, so that is to blame for all of this. my weight was down, so that was probably the only positive. and, now i'm waiting for a doctor's office to call and schedule my colonoscopy. given that i have colon cancer on both sides of my family, i can't wait to get this done. i mean, i'm already 99% sure what is going to kill me one day. fuck, might as well make it 100%. so yeah, not exactly what i was hoping for.
the New York Yankees won last night over Seattle, 3-1. hopefully, they will do it again tonight.
NXT was excellent last night.
Dark Side of the Ring was very good last night.
Deadliest Catch was good last night.
Don't Forget the Lyrics was pretty funny last night.
Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge was really good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and Mayans M.C.
i did listen to the Notsam Wrestling interview today with Matt Cardona and Steph De Lander.
congrats to The King on being elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame today.
i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow as mom has physical therapy in the afternoon.
the grocery shopping today took forever. mom's gut is messing with her again so she is trying a new diet out. and i spent most of today trying to find shit i have never heard of before let alone bought before. so yeah, that was fun.
i will hopefully get some poems written tonight and tomorrow afternoon. i really want to get some more submissions out by the weekend.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck war.
fuck the police.
black lives matter.
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands.
stay off the fucking streets.
get the fucking shot.
hoy vi a la mujer de mis sueños
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
peace and chicken grease...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i did my best to get the grass cut yesterday as fast as possible. so, like a dumb ass, i only took 1 water break and got it all done in just about 3 1/2 hours. not the smartest decision i've made and i'm paying for it today. but, it's out of the way.
i was a little surprised to learn that the New York Rangers fired their coach while i was out mowing the grass. surprised as in i thought it would happen much sooner, like the night they got eliminated. none of the names mentioned so far really excite me. i just want them to find the right guy who gives them a chance to win another championship sometime before i die. that's all i'm asking for.
i am completely fucking dumbfounded how the Yankees have made the Mets look like a good baseball team. more shitty pitching and not enough offense. and to give up 9 runs to a team that couldn't score 9 in a week if they tried is totally fucking embarrassing. final game of the series is tonight. i have no clue if i'm going to bother to watch or not.
i did catch a good bit of the team USA soccer friendly against Belgium. until the USA finds better defenders or actually learns how to play better defense, they are NEVER going to be able to compete at the highest level.
and i did watch most of game 7 between Detroit and Chicago. when the ref made a horrible call in the 3rd period to take away a possible winning goal from Chicago, i laughed. at that point i was hoping Detroit would win just to see if the ref would make it out of the city alive. Chicago won in overtime on a goal by a guy (Brent Seabrook) who has been on my fantasy team for years. i'm very happy for him. so the final four in the NHL are the last 4 teams to win the Stanley Cup (first time since 1945). i don't think there could be a bad final with any of the four teams. hopefully, the games are great and have plenty of overtimes.
i did watch that concert for Oklahoma last night. i thought it was pretty good. hopefully they raised plenty of money, seeing that the towns are under a tornado threat again today. crazy.
looks like we'll have a chance at a few inches of rain over the next couple of days. as long as it all doesn't come at once and kill the crops, i'm fine with it. should be a good chance to see how the changes to the drainage here on the farm are actually working. hopefully, they are working. i really don't want to see two years in a row of major crop loss.
if we do get all this rain, it should give me plenty of time to get some writing in. the summer months tend to be when i slack off from it. i'm hoping to change that this year.
that's all for today. i'm off to go find a cold bed and some cold washcloths to help deal with a bit of a sunburn. i guess 110 SPF is only so good. fuck me.
