clusterfuck 101

 so, i got mom to the hospital where she was having her scan today. we went to where she was to check in and they told her that none of the scans are happening today since the machine is down. mom wanted to know if they tried calling her to tell her this before we drove 20 minutes to the facility. mom doesn't ride well anymore no matter how short the drive is. the lady couldn't tell us as she didn't know. she told us to call central scheduling to get it rescheduled. so, that was a fucking waste as i was hoping to write some more poems today and actually have a productive afternoon. we went back home and she got the appointment rescheduled for some day in November. i had some lunch and then i got a text from Rite Aid saying i had 2 prescriptions ready to pick up. so, i went there and got those 2 prescriptions. 20 minutes after i got back home, got another text from Rite Aid saying i had another prescription ready to pick up. fuck me. did they ever think it would be more efficient to just fucking wait until they were all ready to text me to come get them? so, i'll go get that one tomorrow sometime.


the grand plan for today was i was going to send out some poems, write 2 blogs and get ready for a Friday night. i guess the poems will go out later tonight as this clusterfuck of an afternoon has totally jumbled everything up. and honestly, i'm still pissed from last night.


the New Orleans Saints lost at home to Jacksonville last night, 31-24. the offense just fucking stinks in the red zone.







the New York Rangers lost at home to Nashville last night, 4-1.




Big Brother was good last night. Cory was evicted. Jag won HOH for the second week in a row.


NJPW was very good last night.


enjoy some music:







and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.


i will be on here later tonight when i get the poems sent out. i tend to work better late at night anyway.


i will hopefully be on here tomorrow before Ohio State plays at noon.



i hope everyone has a great weekend.


i need to get going on making dinner, so that's all for me kids.

and now, the rain...

 i swear, anytime i actually might get some sleep, there is something to ruin it. today, the lawn company that does our yard was out here at 9 AM. i could hear them in the back as the phone was ringing. fuck me. i'm pretty sure i got something close to 6 hours of sleep, which might as well be a fucking coma for me. but damn, i needed more and the rain this afternoon proved exactly why i needed more.


i did write 3 poems today while mom was in physical therapy. i typed them up when we got home. i really think i have some very good poems to send out soon.


AEW Dynamite was good last night.








The Masked Singer was crazy as usual.



the part 1 finale of American Horror Story was very good last night. i can't wait for part 2.

sometimes the days just all bleed together...

 i finally got to sleep last night at 6 AM this morning. between all the shows on Tuesday, doing the dishes and taking a shower. my brain finally decided to tap out at 6 in the morning. at roughly 10:55 the phone rang. that woke me up. now, sadly, i have been running on piss poor sleep in my life for easily the last 40 years. it is part of the reason why i believe i will be dead before i even sniff 60 years old. and knowing that i am 47, i know the ticks on the clock are getting louder. but, i did get all the grocery shopping done today. and i had to make yet another trip to Rite Aid. that story will be a doozy here in a bit. but first...


the USMNT defeated Ghana last night, 4-0. that's more like it boys.








NXT was very good last night.

















Inside the NFL was great last night.


both episodes of Welcome to Wrexham were good last night.



Name That Tune was pretty funny last night.


The Voice started the battle rounds last night. 



Big Brother was really good last night.


enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, The Masked Singer and the part 1 finale of American Horror Story.


grocery shopping went pretty good today. mom had a bunch things on the list that she normally gets on Amazon. so, i knew damn well there was probably no chance of keeping this under $200 today. i was right. still saved over $40. so, in the middle of shopping at Kroger, i got a text message from Rite Aid saying i had a prescription ready. so, after i got all the groceries put away at home, i went to Rite Aid. there was a line 4 cars deep at the drive-thru, so i was hoping it wasn't going to be busy inside as well. thankfully, it wasn't. when the lady got my prescription she realized there was no pills in the bag the prescription was in. whomever filled the prescription left the bottle of pills on a shelf. i watched all this chuckling to myself, wondering how the hell is this company facing bankruptcy... thank god there was no charge for the pills.


i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to physical therapy. i know i definitely want to get the blog done before the New Orleans Saints play tomorrow night.


i need to go make dinner, so that's all for me kids.


until tomorrow...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck war.

i believe i still have it...

 i know i often complain on here that writing poetry is like squeezing water out of a rock sometimes for me. but, on the days where talent just fucking flows, it can still be amazing. the three poems i wrote today i really, really like. now, the only way they become poems i love is when they are published somewhere. but, i have to admit, i have a really good feeling about these three.


the New York Rangers won last night at home against Arizona, 2-1. they play Nashville at home on Thursday.






The Voice was really good last night. the battle rounds start tonight.

hopefully it won't be a rainy day...

 it rained on and off most of the day yesterday. i have found that if my mind is on something else, i can pretty much manage the pain of my arthritis. it is when i am in the moody, dreamy, mind all over the place moments where the pain becomes too much at times. so, with all the college football games on yesterday, it made it pretty simple to block out the pain.


Ohio State defeated Purdue yesterday, 41-7. they play Penn State next week.



i did watch plenty of college football yesterday.











the New York Rangers lost last night at Columbus, 5-3. the home opener is tomorrow night against Arizona.

woke up late, shoot me...

 so, in the perfect world that i have never lived in, i would have been up around 6 this morning, already been done with breakfast and the blog and the trip to recycle the Styrofoam. but, here in reality, i didn't fall asleep until almost 4 last night. it was raining, so i wouldn't call it sleep, more like competitive tossing and turning. so, the big plan on going early to get the recycling done and then getting some breakfast did not happen. i'm currently trying to eat breakfast while doing this. the trip to the park where they were doing the recycling and back took over 50 minutes. i have the Ohio State game on in the living room since they are on Peacock today at Purdue. hopefully, they will win.


we saw a gnarly 3 vehicle accident on our way to the park. thankfully, it didn't slow us down much. 


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






AEW Rampage was good last night.


Real Time with Bill Maher was excellent last night.

welcome to the weekend...

 so, i get the feeling this was probably the last good day of weather for a good bit... it did feel good outside. i got mom to her physical therapy appointment. she wanted to just sleep in the Highlander in the sun. i wrote 3 poems while she was doing her physical therapy. i typed those up when we got back home. i should have enough to get another submission out in the next few days.


the New York Rangers beat Buffalo last night, 5-1. i guess they were saving themselves for the regular season. hopefully, this is how they are going to play all season. first time i think they have played a full 60 minutes in a long time. next game is tomorrow night in Columbus.






i did watch some of the NFL game last night. the Chiefs defeated Denver, 19-8.



Big Brother was good last night. Cameron got evicted and is the first member of the jury house. Jag is the new HOH.


NJPW was very good last night.


enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.


i'll probably catch some of the Colorado vs. Stanford game tonight. i have a live bet boost to use on that.


i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i have to take the Styrofoam to a place to recycle it. Ohio State plays at noon. the Rangers play tomorrow night. so yeah, i might have to do the blog when i wake up tomorrow. good times.

Ohio State will play at Purdue tomorrow at noon. it has trap game written all over it.



i need to go vacuum the house and get everything closed up before the rain starts.


i hope everyone has a great weekend.

if the weather could only be like this...

 today was about as close to fucking perfect for the weather as it gets around here. mid 70's, hardly any humidity, a little breeze... of course, it is supposed to rain cats and dogs this weekend. joy.


so, when i got to Rite Aid last night the lady i talked to the day before recognized me. i told her it was for the testing strips and she found a box on the shelf and just took it, put my prescription sticker on it and there was no charge. crisis averted.


The Masked Singer was good last night.




American Horror Story was crazy last night. the season finale for Part 1 of this season is next week.


enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:








on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother and NJPW.


the New York Rangers start their season tonight in Buffalo. i'm not sure what the Rangers are going to be like this season. i'm not a huge fan of the coach and i don't have a good feeling about this team, so i hope i am completely wrong.





i might watch some of the NFL game tonight between Denver and Kansas City.


i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to her physical therapy appointment.


hopefully, it won't be raining by that point tomorrow.


until then kids...

managing constant pain...

 it is becoming harder for me to manage the constant pain i have anymore. hell, it gets so bad that sometimes now my body will just shut off. i feel like i know what Jason Isbell meant now with the line about not falling asleep but fading to black. it becomes real tricky while grocery shopping. watching the elderly pass me because i can't move that fast anymore. good times.


i did get everything on the grocery list. and i'm still waiting on Rite Aid to text me. i figured if i started writing the blog they would text me in the middle of it to tell me the test strips are ready. but, if that doesn't happen, then the plan will be when i am done with this, i am going to Rite Aid and probably have to wait until god knows when for them to figure out what to do since i am out of the strips completely now.


NXT was excellent last night. 





























AEW Dynamite was good last night.











Inside the NFL was good last night.


Welcome to Wrexham was very good last night.



The Voice was good last night. thankfully, the blind auditions are just about over.




Big Brother was good last night. sadly, i'm pretty damn sure Cameron is going to get back doored this week.

and now some of this and that:

i'm sure i will watch some of the hockey games tonight, much like i did last night. maybe some of the baseball playoffs as well.





i will probably be on here tomorrow in the afternoon.


i'm hoping i won't be at Rite Aid forever tonight as i would like to have dinner at a decent time.


wish me luck kids. i'm not the kind of guy that likes to make a scene, but i'm having one of those days where i am happy i have money set aside for bail.
