and i'm not talking about the NHL trade deadline with the subject heading, more on that later. no, i'm talking about my trip to Kroger today. they texted me yesterday to tell me my Jardiance was ready to pick up at $242.50. the last two times i got it, it was $45. so, i did my due diligence and tried to find a way to get it cheaper. so, i thought i found something going through GoodRx, and filled out the form and got a card, etc. so, i showed that at the pharmacy today and the lady told me they weren't accepting this, you're not in the system. this is the exact fucking reason why i wanted Obama when he changed the healthcare in this country to cut out the fucking insurance companies completely. there is no fucking reason on earth i should pay $242.50 for a medicine that i paid $45 for a month ago. what is the fucking point of having insurance. as i told my mother when i got home, all this truly is is further proof of why it is more cost effective to die than live. they wonder why there are so many fucking suicides... so, i really hope my bets hit tonight as i need the fucking money now. not how i was hoping any of this was going to go.
now, for the trade deadline. i was hoping the Rangers might make a stunner today, but wasn't expecting one. they did make a trade last night after i got the blog done. as for today, they made a minor trade with Buffalo. there was some big trades today, mostly involving Boston, Dallas, Florida, etc.
now comes the sprint to the playoffs.
Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage was pretty good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher.
the Dayton Flyers play tonight at VCU. if Dayton wins, they will get a double bye in the A10 tournament and be the 3 seed. if they lose, who knows. but, if they lose, i'm hoping they do so by less than 9 points, if you know what i mean.
i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before the New York Rangers play in the afternoon.
i have no clue what i am making for dinner tonight.
i do know, i need to vacuum the house, so i'll be doing that after i get this done.
i didn't get any writing done last night. apparently, my lack of sleep over the last 35 years or so is catching up with me. my arthritis was raging last night and apparently, my massage chair was too good for me to get up from. that being said, i do have at least one poem swimming in my head that i need to get down on paper soon.
until tomorrow kids...
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
fight the power.

it snowed overnight here. nothing too bad, but i'm guessing it is a precursor of what is to come this weekend. i wrote 3 poems last night. 1 for the book and 2 for what i guess i am calling the general submissions folder. if i can keep this going, i might actually meet my goal of having this book ready to send to the publisher by late spring/early summer.
team USA defeated Switzerland yesterday at the World Juniors, 7-2. they will play Czechia on Saturday, who knocked out Canada last night for the second year in a row.
the New York Rangers won last night at home over Boston, 2-1.
Notre Dame defeated Georgia, 23-10, to advance to the college football playoffs seminfinals.

i have a doctor's appointment this afternoon. after that, i need to go to the grocery store to pick up my prescription and get whatever is on the list.
i will most likely be on here tomorrow in the morning. the Dayton Flyers play on the road tomorrow at noon.
i know we're supposed to have a big winter storm coming through on Sunday night. if that does happen, i'm guessing the grocery store will be a fresh slice of hell today.
that's all for me today kids...

i just got the news that Frankie Beverly died. that hit me way harder than i was expecting. definitely feeling my age these days.
and of course, with today being 9/11, i can't help but remember what happened 23 fucking years ago.
grocery shopping went well today, other than my left arm killing me all day long. at least i kept everything under $200.
the Yankees lost last night at home against the Royals, 5-0. of course, Baltimore won last night, so the lead in the division is down to 1/2 game.
NXT was amazing last night.
Deadliest Catch was very good last night.
the debate went how i expected last night. the prosecutor laid out the bait and the dumb fuck couldn't help himself.
enjoy some music:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and Big Brother.
the USMNT played a 1-1 draw against New Zealand last night. that is 4 games in a row on home soil without a win. they haven't been that bad in 14 years. but, at least they finally hired the right coach this time.
i need to go make dinner, so that's all for me today.
i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
until then...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
when mom saw how much laundry i did yesterday she was shocked. how in the hell... i just laughed. i have had to adapt over the years and be able to make sure she's ok while also doing my laundry, answering emails, doing the blog, remembering to eat and take my pills, let alone make sure she eats and takes her pills, etc. etc. it is almost to the point where i feel like if i'm not doing a thousand things at the same time, i get antsy. i don't want it to be that way, but it is. oh well.
had a fun time driving home from mom's physical therapy appointment. some jackass on the highway gave me roughly six inches of room to squeeze in the lane. what really pissed me off was there was no one in the left lane, so he could have easily got his ass over to let me in and then went on his way. i got around the semi i almost hit trying to get on the highway. and then the asshole that barely gave me any room started following me. i noticed him in my mirror and thought, if you follow me home motherfucker, i will kill you. thankfully for him, he turned to go towards the fast food restaurants.
i did write 5 poems today while mom was doing her physical therapy. i typed those up this afternoon, i really like them.
i did watch plenty of football games yesterday, even made some money.
Big Brother was good last night.
Billions was excellent last night. the series finale is next week.
Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.
Shining Vale was hilarious last night.
Power Book IV: Force was great last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw and The Voice.
i'm sure i will watch some of the game tonight between the 49ers and the Vikings.
hell, i might watch some of the baseball playoffs since there is a Game 7 tonight.
i did listen to episode 470 of Notsam Wrestling today. you can hear that by going here:
oh, where to begin... so, i forgot to put mom's rollator in the Highlander yesterday and only remembered it when i pulled up to the building where the doctor's office is. there wasn't a cane in the Highlander either. but, this actually worked out well. mom was able to walk without much anxiety or discomfort or trouble. she thanked me for forgetting the rollator as it gave her a chance to see her own progress with her physical therapy. but, anyone that knows me knows i beat myself up way too much for shit like this. i tend to believe this is the reason why i wasn't able to write anything last night or this morning. punishment. welcome to my world.
the doctor's appointment went well for my mother yesterday. her A1C is excellent and the doc is putting her on something that might help her sleep better. after the appointment, we got some Wendy's and went home.
the Yankees won last night at home against Houston, 4-3. that surprised me. two wins in a row, holy shit. maybe they can make it 3 tonight.
i did see a little of the Leagues Cup games last night.
NJPW was really good last night.
What We Do in the Shadows was fucking hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and AEW Rampage. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
i will probably check out some of the Leagues Cup games tonight as well.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow, although it will be most likely after Manchester United plays in the morning.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.

when i got up at 7:35 this morning, i said to myself, why the fuck am i up this early? i'm guessing my body is just so used to less than 5 hours of sleep, it doesn't remember how to sleep longer than that. joy.
the New York Yankees won yesterday against the Cubs, 6-3.today is the last game before the All-Star break.
i did watch some of the Gold Cup last night. Panama and Mexico both advanced. today, Guatemala and Jamaica face off before the USA plays Canada. here are some highlights from yesterday.

the USWNT plays Wales today in their sendoff match before the Women's World Cup.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:
i wrote two poems last night, one about burning the candle at both ends again. this is a common theme in my poetry when i take a turn to living on the knife's edge so to speak. i'm restless in a sense. i know what i want to do but i don't have the means to do that and every time i think i'm taking a positive step in the right direction i end up getting punched in the dick again. i believe most people just call this life. i never cared for being like most people.
here are your links for this day of Black History month:
the Dayton Flyers won last night at VCU, 62-58. considering the injuries and foul trouble Dayton had last night, this was very unexpected, but needed. Dayton plays at home on Friday against Saint Louis.
the New York Knicks won last night at Orlando, 102-98.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:
i did watch a little of LeBron James becoming the NBA all-time leading scorer last night.

and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and Name That Tune.
so, i did get the grocery shopping done before the Manchester United game started today. for the first 60 minutes of the game, i wish i would have been stuck at Kroger still waiting in line. thankfully, Rashford and Sancho scored to get a 2-2 draw against Leeds. i'm still pissy they dropped 2 points when they had the chance to draw even with Manchester City on points in second place. oh well.
i guess we're supposed to have some crazy fucking wind here starting tonight into tomorrow. like gusts to 50 to 60 MPH. so, i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
the New York Rangers play at home tonight against Vancouver.
i do have some NBA and NHL bets tonight, as well as a college basketball parlay. hopefully they go better than my Manchester United bet today.
ok, that's all for me today.

i was up early this morning, ready to go. and then i noticed i didn't take my pills last night with dinner. oh great. so i took those immediately before i had breakfast and took my breakfast pills a little later. i haven't forgotten to take pills in god knows how long. but, i wasn't surprised when my back started killing me later in the morning. the weather has turned again and everything is melting. between my back and a headache, i knew that getting to the grocery store early wasn't going to happen today. eventually, i did make it to all the stores. i got everything that was on the list and kept it at a somewhat reasonable price given the world these days.
so, when i got home, team USA at the World Juniors was winning against Slovakia, 2-1. they are currently losing to Slovakia, 4-2, in the 3rd period. i'm not happy.
Manchester United won 3-0 yesterday against Nottingham Forest. Rashford, Martial and Fred were the goal scorers. it was a pretty easy game for United and a great way to get back in the swing of things.
the New York Rangers had their asses handed to them last night at home against Washington, losing 4-0. at least their coach called them out after the game.
the New York Knicks lost in Dallas last night, 126-121 in OT. Luka Doncic had one of the most amazing games in the history of the NBA last night. 60 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists. that is one of those HOLY SHIT triple doubles.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:
NXT was very good last night.

Dayton plays at home tonight against Duquesne. they are 8.5 point favorites. hopefully they start the A10 schedule off with a win.
Slovakia is now up 5-2.
i might watch some college football tonight, not sure. bowl season is starting to really ramp up now.
i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before the USA plays Switzerland at the World Juniors.
i need to get going and get started on dinner tonight.
the roads weren't bad today. i just hope the dumb fucks around here clean out the openings to the sewers. if not, the melting here will get to some minor flooding really quick.

now, most of you already know, i'm not a big gun guy. i have no problem with people who legally own guns, because most of them are responsible human beings. now, with that being said, i will never understand the need for anyone on this fucking planet to own an AR15. i would love to see a complete ban on all semi-automatic weapons in this country, let alone the world. but, i don't have the money that the NRA and all the fucking zombies that follow them have, so that will never happen. so, that also means, shit like yesterday will continue to happen. a legally purchased AR15 used in a mass shooting. good thing i don't pretend that the world is going to help me get through my depression.
