you ever wake up wishing for a lobotomy?

i woke up this morning with a headache straight from hell. the shitty thing was it went straight down into my neck, where my nerves are all fucked up. good times. it took probably 4 or 5 hours for the headache to go away. just the way i wanted to start a Monday.

the New York Rangers lost yesterday 6-4. they were down 3-0 in the blink of a fucking eye it seemed. sadly, they worked to get all the way back in the game, only to lose it late in the 3rd period to the fucking Islanders. the only positive from yesterday was Eric Staal finally scored for the Rangers. other than that, burn the fucking tape.

that loss put me into a pretty shitty mood. i was hoping for the Sunday night shows to lift me up. thankfully, they did.

Vinyl was pretty good. once again, the music was great. Girls was pretty fucking funny. Togetherness was great. it is probably the show with the closest thing to reality of what relationships are like. Shameless was awesome, as usual. Billions was really good this week, especially with another little plot twist. Last Week Tonight was once again fucking brilliant.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and Gotham. i will be watching Monday Night Raw and some stuff on WWE Network most of the night.

i did a little poetry work this morning. i think i have my next round of submissions planned. of course, if i happen to write some more before the end of the week, all of this is subject to change.

i did listen to Sam Roberts latest podcast this morning, his new one with Cathy Kelley. it's a really good listen, check it out.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i think i will be mom's chauffeur most of the day. between meetings and physical therapy and then she somehow thinks she's also going to be able to work tomorrow (i doubt it)...  i get the feeling this is when i get to be the asshole and tell her no.

it's in the 60's here today. i figure i might as well go out and feed the birds.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

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...
