so, i knew i had a doctor's appointment this morning. i got up and took a shower and made sure i got everything ready to leave on time. the landscaping crew that mom hired was out here at 9 this morning. they did the flower beds a few years ago and most of them turned out great. sadly, the one right in front of the house is nothing but weeds. mom is pissed enough that she wants everything taken out and rocks put in instead.
so, i made it to the doctor's appointment on time. everything went smoothly but what i have noticed with this new doctor is he doesn't draw any blood in office. everything has to go through CompuNet. i get why as doctors are notorious for wanting to bleed the insurance to death... i thought this appointment was to just check my A1C. well, i guess he also wanted a comprehensive metabolic panel done as well. they have a CompuNet right there where the doctor's office is, but they were way too crowded and i didn't feel like waiting. so, i went to the CompuNet at the hospital where my mother went in February. they do appointments, which i was fine with. i got mine for this afternoon. i got there a little early as i haven't used the online shit before. no sooner than i signed in i was going back to get my blood drawn. i was back out in the parking lot 2 minutes before my actual appointment was supposed to start. that made me really happy. of course, i went to Big Lots on the way home looking for baseball cards and they had none. but, i was checking my email earlier and got in on a sale at Topps.com for a value box. good times.

i did listen to episode 347 of Notsam Wrestling today. you can find that by going here:
so i had this major ass to do list today. of course, i didn't get to bed until 5 this morning, so that put a major dent into my plans. 5 hours of shitty sleep later, and the race began. i had some breakfast and got ready to go to the bank and the grocery store for my prescriptions. i told mom that i would take her to the drug store when i got back. thankfully, the weather is really nice today. of course, that meant plenty of fuckers out and about... a Sunday drive on a Wednesday. never fails.
everything went smooth at the bank and grocery store. mom was shockingly ready to go by the time i got home. i guess the injection is working so far (fingers crossed). we found everything she was looking for at the drug store. she wanted some lunch after that so i drove to the local Lee's and got her some chicken.
after lunch, i needed to get my laundry started, get the Yankees game on and write a blog for the day. trying to do 3 things at one time is a little ambitious for me, but i'd rather drive myself crazy than allow the world to do it.
here are your videos for this day of National Poetry Month.
the New York Yankees lost to Detroit last night, 3-1. they are currently tied with Tigers this afternoon.

i didn't sleep well at all last night. i think the best sleep i got was when i should have been getting ready to take mom to her appointment. she had to wake me up and i busted my ass to get us there on time. more or less, we were. she got the injections and we were out of there before 9:30 i believe. i'm really hoping this round of injections work better now that the hip has been replaced.
NXT was pretty good last night. i am certainly looking forward to the next Takeover. i remember War Games when i was young. that should be a spectacle.
Total Divas was pretty good last night as well. it should be interesting to see how this season goes.
You're the Worst was fucking hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Chris Gethard Show, Better Things, Gotham, Will & Grace, The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, Life in Pieces and Fuck, That's Delicious Classics.
i didn't watch any of Game 7 of the World Series last night. i'm just glad it is over. now, the Yankees can get to hiring a new manager.
the New York Rangers play tonight in Tampa. the Rangers haven't won on the road yet this season. i highly doubt that changes tonight.
i think at some point tomorrow, probably after getting the grocery shopping done, i'll get together some poems for the next round of submissions. this should be a pretty big one. and i'd love to get that done before my interview comes up on the 13th.
that's all for me today kids.

i woke up to sunshine this morning. such a welcome sight after 3 days of fucking rain.
the grocery store was a madhouse this morning. apparently i didn't get there early enough as it looked like the elderly had already raided the place. at least i got most of everything mom had on the scroll and kept it under $150.
VICE was very interesting last night. i imagine most people don't even realize that the war with the Taliban in Afghanistan is still going on.
NJPW was excellent last night.
i happened to watch the Al Madrigal special on Showtime last night. fucking hilarious. i highly recommend it.
Real Time with Bill Maher was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be Chris Gethard: Career Suicide, Saturday Night Live and ROH.
i have no damn clue which horse is going to win the Kentucky Derby today. i suppose it will matter what the track is like. i do plan on watching though.
the New York Rangers play Game 5 this afternoon in Ottawa. i'm hoping the boys can continue the domination they showed in the past two games.
the New York Yankees play tonight in Chicago. hopefully the momentum from yesterday carries over to tonight.
i might try to squeeze in some writing tonight as i already have some poems ready for my next round of submissions.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. for anyone who reads this in France, best of luck not electing an asshole tomorrow.

i find it kind of funny that the Dayton Flyers hired their coach today less than 24 hours since i had a nice long chat about the coaching search with a lawyer. nothing wrong with hiring Anthony Grant. he's an alum, he's got ties to the NBA, he's won it all when he was an assistant at Florida, etc. etc. at 50 years old, he probably isn't looking to leave his alma mater. now, he certainly wasn't my choice for the job. i definitely think he deserved an interview but i would have preferred them to go the up and coming route. take the fucking chance to go out and find the next Archie Miller. instead, the young athletic director painted himself into the corner of having to one day (maybe) fire a treasured member of the alumni. good luck with that. all that being said, i know i will root my ass off for Coach Grant just like i have for every other Dayton coach. now, i hope he can get all the recruits to stay and assemble a great coaching staff. and hopefully the coach that recruited most of the new recruits that has known coach Grant and his wife for over 20 years stays on board.
i sent out 10 poems today. 4 to The Commonline Journal and 6 to In Between Hangovers. when i hear back from Tasha at In Between Hangovers, i'll pass along the verdict.
my back feels a little better today. it's still stiff as fuck, but i'm hoping a long, hot shower and more ice will help that.
i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i have to drive mom out to the Apple store to get her phone fixed. of course, the closest one to us is about 45 minutes away. i'm not looking forward to that drive in the rain tomorrow. fuck me runnin'.
that's all for me today kids.

imagine walking in to get your driver's license renewed and you see they are serving number 52. you pull your number and it's 63. all you have to sit on are these hard benches, sort of like you are waiting to be booked into jail. of course, it's raining outside and your arthritis is absolutely killing you. you look at all the bruises on your left ring finger. not a good first day to be trying to track your blood sugar. after 20 minutes, they finally get to your number. it's the same woman from 4 years ago that almost failed you on the vision test. oh joy. amazingly, everything goes well and one shitty picture and 10 minutes later... you have a new driver's license. talk about an afternoon wasted, unless you happened to...
i wrote 10 poems this afternoon before the adventure began. what happens to be most times is something will hit me when i'm either on the toilet or in the shower. i believe it is all due to me constantly talking to myself. i was pissing and a few words hit me and 35 minutes later, i had 10 poems. i typed them up after i got home this afternoon and i really, really liked them. that's now 21 poems in 18 days for the month. that's the goal this year, write as much as fucking possible, each month.
the New York Rangers scored in the first minute last night. the next time i turned to the game they were trailing 3-1. fuck me. i ended up watching most of the rest of the game. a crazy 7-6 loss to Dallas that never should have happened. i have no fucking clue why the coach waited so damn long to pull Hank and put in the backup goalie. the Rangers tried to get the game tied late, but failed. much like how this season is quickly turning into a failure.
Smackdown was pretty good last night.
205 Live was pretty good last as well.
i really enjoyed Taboo last night. the show is still dark as hell, but i actually like that. Tom Hardy's character is so fucking creepy, it's fucking great.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Total Divas. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i got an excellent FREE EP on NoiseTrade this morning. the link will be in the music section.
i had to ask my mom to help me get a blood sample this morning to do my blood sugar. apparently my skin is much thicker than i thought it was. my numbers suck though.
a big THANK YOU to my friend/fan for the gift card i got in the mail today. an excellent early birthday gift. i'll use it wisely.
i will be back on here tomorrow early as the Dayton Flyers play at home tomorrow night. it's most likely going to be a sellout, which is good since they will be playing for a share of first place in the league. more on that tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a good day. hopefully you have a better night.
