the sun is supposed to shine this weekend

i was amazed at how quickly mom and i made it to her appointment this morning. usually the highway is a fucking mess in the morning. i did bring along my pen and little notebook, just in case the words hit me in the waiting room. i ended up writing 5 poems this morning. i think i will wait to type them up. i'm hoping that i'll be using my new computer (hopefully soon) to type them up. as for my mother, her procedure went well. no cancer, nothing crazy. she has diverticulosis. she will be on a high fiber diet, probably for the rest of her life most likely. she will get the result from the biopsies in a few days i guess. she's pretty relieved that it wasn't cancer, especially with what is going on with her brother. after we left the hospital, we went to Perkins. she was hungry and wanted some real food.

i guess they didn't start to work on our new computer until this afternoon. the guy at Best Buy gave us the impression they were going to at least start the process last night. so i'll go ahead and assume we'll be picking up the computer after the basketball game tomorrow afternoon.

i watched most of that crazy ass football game last night. i can't believe Green Bay came back to win.

the New York Rangers were asleep for most of the game last night against Colorado. i guess it was too much to ask to have great efforts in back to back games. they lost 2-1 and have certainly hit the skids or, reality is finally catching up with them.

i didn't watch any of The Wiz. i figure i will watch that sometime over the holidays.

enjoy some music kids:

i'm really starting to feel old when guys i saw in concert back in the 90's are coming up dead less than 20 years later. rest in peace Scott. the demons won't bother you anymore.

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Undateable, NJPW and The Knick.

i will probably be on here later tomorrow as Manchester United plays in the morning and i will be leaving shortly after that game to go see the Dayton Flyers take on North Florida.

i haven't given much thought to a Flashback Friday, so here is another lazy example of my brilliance:
wise enough to keep driving (first published in Gutter Eloquence Magazine 2012)
too many pieces to count (first published in The Camel Saloon 2012)
the first crack of thunder (first published in Jellyfish Whispers 2012)

i hope everyone has a great weekend. drink until your blind, only fuck the ones that cough and call if you need bail money.

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...
