well, i found something that will make me sleep

i took a muscle relaxer around 11 last night. i fell asleep around 2:30 and didn't see the clock until 8:30 this morning. 6 hours of sleep is a fucking eternity to me. mom thought i shouldn't be driving today. i laughed and reminded her, i was the designated drunk driver in my group of friends.

i had to take her to get a chest x-ray this afternoon. before that, i stopped at the grocery store to pick up a new prescription for her. after her x-ray, we went to lunch. after lunch, we went to the Dollar Tree to look for some shit. she didn't find anything. of course, i did. i'm a cheap fuck, let's be honest. dollar stores are right up my alley.

i wrote 4 poems today. i typed those up and liked a few of them. in other poetry news, i heard back from Easy Street on my recent poetry submission. they decided to pass. my unpublished file is way too fucking big for my liking at the moment. hopefully that will change in the next month or so.

the New York Yankees lost last night at Texas, 12-10. they had two different big leads in the game and their pitching blew both of them. oh well, there goes the series winning streak. they are off tonight and will start a series with the Angels at home tomorrow.

well, the Stanley Cup Final is set. Washington vs. Vegas. hopefully it will be a good series.

here are your highlights from the NHL and NBA playoffs last night:

NXT was pretty good last night.

Being Serena was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight.

i'll probably watch some of the NBA playoff game tonight as well.

i did watch the press conference today of the New York Rangers new coach, David Quinn.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast this afternoon. you can find that by going here: http://notsam.com/wrestlingpodcast/2018/5/24/wrestling-podcast-187-mauro-ranallo

i have to take mom to her foot doctor in the morning tomorrow. after that, i believe we are going to go to Menards since we will be already up near there. they are having a big holiday weekend sale i think.

i should be on here after all that.

goodbye for now kids...

and the survey says...

so, after going to the doctor today, the verdict is i have a partially torn left calf muscle. he ordered me 10 days worth of muscle relaxers. that should help with the nerves firing off randomly. of course, as this heals, just what my left leg needs...more scar tissue. so i'm supposed to take it easy for the next 10 days. we'll see.

i wrote 10 poems yesterday while mom was in her physical therapy session. i typed them up last night and really liked a few of them. i think that brings me to 40 poems or so for the month. i'll probably have another writing session over the holiday weekend.

the New York Yankees lost last night to the Texas Rangers, 6-4. the Yankees will have a chance to win their 9th straight series later tonight.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

Smackdown was pretty good last night.

205 Live was good last night as well.

The Voice finale was pretty good last night. i don't really care for the winner, but like i said, i wasn't surprised. i certainly wasn't surprised the two black performers finished 3rd and 4th. it is the USA in 2018 after all.

Deadliest Catch was good last night.

The Chris Gethard Show was hilarious last night.

The Jim Jefferies Show last night was fucking great.

the New York Rangers finally have a head coach.

i need to start thinking about dinner and probably some rest as well.

that's all for me kids.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow.

riding the waves of pain

if i had to guess, i think i'm dealing with a nerve problem as well as a pulled/strained calf muscle. and when my nerves fire off in my left leg, oh my fucking god. it's not as severe as the pain i had when my sciatic nerve was pinched. this is more of the feeling i would get when i would get high as a teen and wasn't quite sure what i took. and it's not that i don't enjoy the uneasy feeling, it's more of a matter of knowing i won't be able to find the pleasure forever in the pain. it's that unknown side of life that i tend to dread. my tendencies for self-destruction tend to grow a little deeper each day. good times.

the New York Yankees continued hitting home runs last night, defeating Texas 10-5. hopefully that will continue tonight.

here are your highlights from the NHL and NBA playoffs last night:

The Voice was pretty good last night. you could tell the moment was getting to some of them. i honestly think Britton will win it tonight. that being said, i wouldn't be shocked if any of other 3 won either.

Monday Night Raw was good last night.

we had some storms hit last night, right as i was finishing up my dinner. we got 1.5 inches of rain. i figure our yard is going to look like a jungle here before too long.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, the finale of The Voice, Deadliest Catch, The Jim Jefferies Show and The Chris Gethard Show. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight.

i'm planning on bringing my notebook with me to mom's physical therapy appointment this afternoon. and as long as i can manage the pain, we'll probably be going to a late lunch/early dinner afterwards.

i'm interested to see how many poems i write today. there's a good chance it will be raining while mom's appointment will be going on. that should make things even more interesting.

and at some point today, i need to do the trash here and next door. joy.

that's all for me kids.

response from Otoliths

i heard back from Mark at Otoliths on my poetry submission from last week. my poems "contempt" and "wasted countless years" have been accepted for publication. the poems will appear in the next issue.

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.

Total Bellas was as stupid as it always is last night.

Drop the Mic was excellent 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.

oh my, after more than 4 hours of sleep...

so, i was able to sleep without being violently woken up overnight. i got somewhere close to 5 hours of sleep total. now, the only problem is my left leg is swollen. and the troubling part of that, the swelling reminds of a decade ago when i had blood clots. so, i'm going to do my best today of staying off my feet. hopefully, that will help the swelling go down. if that doesn't work, i will probably be going to a doctor or a hospital tomorrow. i know if it is a blood clot, i need to catch it as soon as possible. so, if you happen to see nothing on the blog for a few days, there's a good chance that i have been admitted somewhere. good times.

i just watched team USA defeat Canada 4-1 to win the Bronze medal at the World Hockey Championships. Chris Kreider from the New York Rangers scored 2 goals for the USA.

the New York Yankees broke out the long ball last night and defeated the Royals 8-3. the Yankees hit 5 home runs in the game. hopefully they will get the series win this afternoon in Kansas City.

it looks like YouTube isn't playing along with me today, so i don't know how many videos this blog is actually going to have today.

i did watch some the Tampa Bay Lightning defeating Washington last night 3-2. that means the Lighting, or Rangers South, are 1 win away from going to the Stanley Cup Final.

i did watch some of Cleveland destroying Boston last night in the Eastern Conference Finals by 30. Boston is up in that series 2-1 now.

ROH was pretty good last night.

the season finale of Saturday Night Live was pretty fucking hilarious last night. i swear every celebrity in New York City was on the show last night.

Patrick Melrose was excellent last night.

i watched maybe the first 30 minutes of Fahrenheit 451 last night on HBO. it was good but certainly not good enough for me to stay up for.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Billions, I'm Dying Up Here, Westworld, Last Week Tonight, Drop the Mic and Total Bellas.

i will probably watch some of the NBA and NHL playoffs today as well.

i did watch Justify win the Preakness Stakes yesterday. that means there will be a chance for a Triple Crown winner this year.

that's all for me kids. i really do need to get my leg up.

i hope everyone had a good Saturday. hopefully, your Sunday will be even better.

how much worse can this day get

so, a few minutes before 6 AM this morning, i had the most violent cramp in my left leg in my 42 years on this planet. it honestly felt like the lower half of my left leg was leaving my body. my big toe on my left foot was sticking straight up in the air. i'm not sure why i got the cramps. i didn't drink last night. i have this big cup i drink water out of. it's 24 ounces for a full cup. i usually will drink 4 to 7 of those a day. my guess is the cramp was actually caused by diabetic nerve pain. it's been so fucking rainy the last day or so that my left leg feels like it has radiation running through it. it reminds me of when my sciatic nerve was pinched. worst fucking pain in my life. this morning was as close as i have been to that in the last 10 years.

so, since i was up, i fucking watched most of the Royal Wedding this morning. it was fine. i was simply hoping to pass the damn time until the USA played Sweden in the semi-finals of the Hockey World Championships this morning.

Sweden whipped the USA 6-0. that means the USA will be playing for a bronze medal tomorrow morning. and if the current results hold, they will be playing Canada in that game. joy. (Canada got upset by Switzerland today 3-2)

so, probably after my 5th glass of water this morning, i got ready to watch Manchester United play in the FA Cup Final. needless to say, when shit rolls downhill, eventually you come to realize it's never going to fucking stop. United pissed away chance after chance and of course were fucking horrible in the first half. Chelsea scored on a penalty kick that was deserved (fuck you Phil Jones). United played with more desperation in the second half, but that never amounted to shit.

what a fucking waste this day has turned into.

the New York Yankees lost to a shitty Royals team last night, 5-2. hopefully they will get a win tonight.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night.

VICE was very good last night.

NJPW was pretty good last night.

the main event of Major League Wrestling was great last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was very funny last night.

Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas was very good last night.

no good sleep and rain, what a combination

before i start my bitching about some woman talking to me until 3 in the morning about a fucking scam she was trying to hook me into, a little poetry news to get to.

i heard back from The Beatnik Cowboy on my recent poetry submission. they decided to pass on the 3 poems i sent. i never quite understand the rejection letters when they tell me about how good the poems are. apparently, they weren't quite good enough. oh well. i shouldn't have much of a problem finding a new home for those.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

the season finale of Life in Pieces was excellent last night.

the season finale of Gotham last night was fucking great. next season, which will be the final season of Gotham, should be amazing.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

i will probably watch some of the NHL playoffs tonight as well.

we got over an inch of rain this morning. it was a fucking joy to go to the grocery store while that was happening. at least by the time i got out of the store it was basically just a persistent drizzle. of course, i took a wrong step walking into the store. so my right foot was killing me the entire time i was in the grocery store. and the fucking store keeps moving shit around. just a pain in the fucking ass.

but at least the toys were on sale today. mom laughed when she saw those with the groceries. i'm not one that will turn down a buy 1 get 1 free sale on the good shit.

so this woman in Nigeria last night was telling me her university needs me to open an account here in the USA so they can send me money so i can turn around and send that money to the woman in Nigeria. now, i do know, or at least i think i know, this woman is a student at said university in England. she's on some work study in Nigeria, supposedly. so, i played along and asked her to send me some paperwork that the school surely would have sent her so i can make sure this is official and everything. i told her if i didn't have that paperwork by tonight, i know this is a fucking scam. which i will then around and report her and block her so i won't be entertaining myself at 3 in the morning again with this bullshit. and this is all due to me wanting my Google Hangouts to be public so if someone actually reads something of mine and wants to contact me about it, they can do so and i will gladly get in touch with them.

i need to go ice my back down.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i guess there's some fucking big deal wedding tomorrow or something. the more important thing... i'll be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Chelsea in the FA Cup Final. hopefully, i will be in a good mood.

so the phone call with my best friend went better than i thought it would yesterday. i can't imagine getting a cancer diagnosis on your 45th birthday. of course, ask me again in 3 years. i think she's going to get the help she needs and be in a better place on the other side of it. at least, that's my fucking hope.

i did write 7 poems today. mom cancelled her physical therapy, so i wrote them at home. as you might imagine, they are pretty fucking dark. i really like a few of them. i believe that puts me at 40 poems for the month. that's a pretty decent pace so far. i typed the poems up after i got done feeding the birds today. amazingly, the hot pepper suet i put out for them almost lasted 4 damn hours. they treat it like crack, it's amazing.

the New York Yankees were rained out last night. so, they will have to go back to Washington D.C. to make up the suspended and rained out game against the Nationals in June. the Yankees are off tonight and start a series at Kansas City tomorrow night.

NXT was really good last night.

and then cancer comes in the room and bums everyone out...

i have a sign in my room that says i get my cardio by running from adult responsibilities. today might be the day i run for a few miles. my best friend sent me a message this morning i never wanted to hear from her. the mass in her left breast is cancer and they need to remove the whole breast. we got into a little argument last week when i brought up this possibility. now that it is actually here, i know my tough love approach won't work. this is when i need to be the compassionate listener. now, that's something i do well, but when a person just a few years older than myself is facing this, i know all my listening will turn into me facing my own mortality. i joke all the time i do all i do for my mother so i get to stay in the will. she said something about it yesterday and i quickly snapped back with the unfortunate reality we all know... none of this will do me any good if i die first. that brings up a topic in most of my poems, the race to death. i have to call my best friend later this afternoon. i figured i would get the blog done before that fucking cry fest begins. she's one of the few humans on the planet that tells me she loves me and actually means it. it figures she'd have cancer. god hates me.

the New York Yankees got down 3-0 last night at the Nationals. they clawed their way back to get it to 3-3 and then the fucking rain came. and it never stopped. so the game was suspended until 5 PM tonight. they will try to finish the game from yesterday and then play the game they had scheduled for tonight. of course, it's supposed to rain tonight in D.C. so who the fuck knows if they will even get to play at all.

i was pleasantly surprised last night when the Sacramento Kings got the #2 pick in the NBA Draft Lottery. of course, i immediately wondered how they will fuck this up. hopefully, that doesn't happen.

Smackdown was pretty good last night.

205 Live was really good last night.

The Voice was good last night. i had 3 of the 4 finalists i chose correct. and seeing that the only one i had wrong was the one i had fifth, i'm really fine with the Final 4. i would love to see Kyla or Spensha win, but my gut says Britton will win this.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

i have no idea if mom is going to her physical therapy appointment tomorrow or not. she's still coughing her head off at the moment. if she does, i'll be on here tomorrow after that. if she doesn't, i might have a little writing session and then i'll be on here. i can't imagine what would be on my mind to write about.

i have made two different trips to the grocery store today. first was to get my pills. mom had a doctor's appointment this afternoon. when we got home from that, i did the trash and then had to go back to the grocery store to get her pills. good times. i also got gas for the car and bought a late lunch all between running around. that's why i'm just now starting the fucking blog when i should be kicking back and watching the Yankees game.

i have no damn clue when i'll be on here tomorrow.

there are storms in the area. of course, we're not getting any rain. but i still get the fucking pain from my arthritis. let's just say i'll be drinking tonight.

rest in peace Lois Lane

i had my first drinks with alcohol in them last night in weeks. i certainly had less than what i had been drinking. it's funny, it still fueled me to staying up until almost 4 in the fucking morning. my blood sugar was normal when i woke up less than 4 hours later. all seems well. so back on the fucking train.

i took advantage of the Yankees rain delay yesterday to watch the rest of Dunkirk. i liked the movie. the cinematography was great. you could really tell that this was Christopher Nolan's passion project. it will be on the DVR for awhile.

the New York Yankees won over Oakland yesterday, 6-2. that's the seventh straight series the Yankees have won. they are off today and start a quick 2 game series at the Nationals tomorrow.

i'll probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store. i'll have some pills of my own to pickup and i'll need to buy more tissues, as mom's allergies have her going through a box a day basically. good times.

i hope everyone had a good weekend.

i think mom liked what my sister and i got her. other than her allergies screwing with her, i think this has been a pretty good Mother's Day this year.

Manchester United won this morning 1-0 over Watford. it was the final game of Michael Carrick's career. he served the club well over his 12 seasons. all that is left for United this season is to win the FA Cup against Chelsea on Saturday. if they win that, then second in the league to City is a little bit more tolerable.

the New York Yankees won 7-6 in 11 innings yesterday. they ended their little losing streak. hopefully they will start another winning streak and win another series today against Oakland. they are currently in a rain delay. joy.

Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night.

ROH was pretty good last night.

i watched the first 10 minutes of Dunkirk last night and knew i was going to fall asleep during it. so, i'm saving the rest of it for a rainy day.

Patrick Melrose was brilliant last night. i think i'm really going to enjoy this show.

here are your highlights from Winnipeg vs. Las Vegas last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Billions, I'm Dying Up Here, Westworld, Silicon Valley, Barry, Last Week Tonight and Drop the Mic.

i'll probably watch some of the NHL and NBA playoffs today as well.

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

feliz día de la madre

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...

music:

Pearl Jam - Mother (Live)
John Lennon - Mother
Danzig - Mother
