when school shootings become just another news story...

i didn't say much about the school shooting yesterday in Florida because i quite frankly am just fucking tired of these stories. i'll never understand the need for semi-automatic weapons at all. i'll never understand how any crazy person can legally buy a gun. i'll never understand why the government doesn't have the balls to stand up to the NRA. i've already seen the asshole that runs this nation blame the students and neighbors that didn't say anything. i bet that asshole didn't know that the FBI knew about the shooter 6 months ago. and i can't wait to see how Trump blames this on Obama, not remembering that it was his FBI 6 months ago. and as always, the answer this government will come up with is we need more guns. i guess it won't be until one of their precious children gets slaughtered before it dawns on them that sensible gun control isn't a bad thing after all. of course, i'm wondering how many people need to die before that happens?

the bigger problem in all of this in my eyes is the mental health issues that this country continues to just sweep under the rug. we'd rather spend millions on new missiles than treatment programs or even the basic mental health shit. imagine if you'd take just a fraction of what this country spends on wars and spent that on after school programs and decent mental health programs. of course, you can't make any money that way and that truly is where the problem begins. capitalism makes any of this shit impossible, because you have to make money at every fucking thing you do. and if an industry isn't turning a profit, then it's a failure. it's this flawed view of the world that has this country so fucked.

and now for the conspiracy point of view... i read a story just the other day that gun sales were down and that Remington is filing for bankruptcy. and what happens after school shootings??? renewed calls for gun control and then a hysteria plan of saying the government is coming for your guns. anyone else surprised the NRA would tweet out a call to buy your loved one a gun for Valentine's Day after the school shooting had already happened? you shouldn't be surprised. the beauty of capitalism to some is there are no morals allowed. and it is these assholes leading this fucking nation.

but what should i expect from a nation stupid enough to elect a reality television star to be their president. these clowns wanted fucking chaos. that's exactly what they are getting. and i guess sweeps week must be starting soon... Stormy Daniels claims she has a dress with Trump's sperm on it. the asshole poet inside me smiles. my soul learned long ago that none of this shit matters. we're all just running out the clock, waiting for death.

the Dayton Flyers were awful last night, losing at George Mason 85-67. there's two hours of my life i'll never get back. i'm tempted to go to the game Saturday night just to fucking boo.

NXT was pretty good last night.

Celebrity Big Brother was pretty good as well last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Lip Sync Battle.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast this morning. you can find that by going here:

the New York Rangers play tonight at the Islanders. i saw this morning that the rumor is their captain gave the team his 10 team no trade list. that's enough smoke to me to mean the wheels are in motion to trade Ryan McDonagh. if that does happen, given his salary and age, the Rangers should get back quite the haul. if they don't, i will be pissed beyond belief.

i am getting more into the Winter Olympics. basically the hockey is going on now, so i actually have something i want to watch.

i didn't sleep worth a shit last night. i might have got 4 hours at most. between the rain, my arthritis and my bad back... i think the only thing that might have put me to sleep last night would have been heroin.

mom has her physical therapy session this afternoon. i'm hoping i can write some more poems while i'm there. if i do, i'll get those typed up this evening.

i'll probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store.

la esperanza está tan perdida como el sueño americano

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...
