and then there was a flood...

it has absolutely poured here a couple of times today. the type of rain where you expect cats and dogs. the type of rain that usually makes me roll up in a ball and wish for death. but, today i decided to try to trick my brain. the satellite went out with the storms so i started to write. i figure if i could get my brain into poetry mode, the pain would be channeled into the poems. sure enough, 10 poems later, i was pleased. i typed them up this afternoon and i really like them. i think a few of them are really fucking good. i'm not sure when i'll be sending them out, but at least i have another fresh batch of work to choose from.

i thought Smackdown was pretty good last night. it certainly helps that the show is only 2 hours long.

Hard Knocks was pretty funny last night. it made me realize just how soon the NFL season will be starting back up. i guess i need to start thinking about fantasy drafts again.

the USA women's soccer team gave up a late goal to get a 2-2 draw yesterday against Colombia. they still won the group. they will next play Sweden.

the New York Yankees lost last night 5-3. how many more games until this mediocre season is over? they play again tonight in Boston. maybe A-Rod gets to play tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Tyrant and Any Given Wednesday. i'll be watching NXT and CWC on WWE Network sometime tonight.

i will probably watch the team USA men's basketball game against Australia later today. that might actually be a game this time around.

i got a great FREE song on NoiseTrade this afternoon. i'll put the link for it down in the music section.

i was very happy to see that Chris Wright is getting another chance in the NBA. it looks like he's going to sign a deal with Oklahoma City. i went to high school with one of his older brothers. and Chris was always one of my favorite players at Dayton.

that's all for me kids. hope all of you had a wonderful day.

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...
