with the creative juices flowing...

let me get the poetry shit out of the way to begin with. i sent out 16 poems this morning, 3 each to Dead Snakes and The Camel Saloon; 5 each to BoySlut and Regardless Of Authority. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

also, got an email from my friend in Sweden, the artist Janne Karlsson. it appears there might be a good chance that the project we did together may see the light of day in 2014. as of right now, it looks like Epic Rites is the lucky winner to publish it. of course, as a veteran of this world, i know nothing is concrete until you are holding it in your hands. so, i am happy but my fingers are still crossed like a motherfucker. also, Janne was kind enough to send me some pics of my poem "when insanity meets the evening news" in the October edition of the magazine Klar (Norway). below are the pictures:

the Dayton Flyers won last night 70-56. sadly, they once again played like shit, playing down to their competition until a 16-2 run ended the game. if they don't figure out how to play to their potential quickly, they are going to get embarrassed soon. probably on this coming Saturday against a team they should easily beat.

i did make it home in time to watch American Horror Story. another great episode. and the preview for next week looks really damn good.

the weather has warmed up here nicely. up to the upper 40's today. but, since it is Ohio, it appears like it will be 70 by the weekend with a chance of some crazy shit happening. i figure the winds will be crazy on Sunday as that is the day i put the trash out.

other than The Big Bang Theory and probably a decent portion of the NFL game tonight, i have no clue what i'll be watching this evening. most likely some sports or something on Discovery or Food Network.

the wines i ordered the other day should be arriving later today. i have to sign for them and not let my imagination run wild with my porn fantasies of female delivery drivers. my luck, it will be a guy that looks like me. somewhere Freud is smiling.

that's all for me. i suppose i should go eat some lunch and listen to some more music while i'm waiting. i do hope this finds everyone well. and hopefully drunk.
