like a punch to the gut...

sometimes you watch something that hits so damn close to home that it's simply unsettling to the point that you are rendered helpless. i watched I Am Evidence last night. it is an incredibly difficult documentary to watch, especially if you are a victim of sexual abuse, or know victims of it. to see all those damn rape kits that went untested for years and years was disheartening. and i know i have friends that have been raped who had the same shit happen to them. as a man, as a human and as an American, this is a fucking disgusting indictment on this society. i urge everyone to watch this and tell someone else about it and make them watch it.

here is your poetry for this day of National Poetry Month:

The Voice last night was really good. from first listen, it's going to be a battle between team Blake and team Alicia. those teams have way more talent than the other two.

Fuck, That's Delicious was hilarious last night.

the New York Yankees scored early and often last night to beat the Marlins 12-1. they play again this evening.

Monday Night Raw was really good last night. i really like the way they are going with the Superstar Shakeup. it should be interesting to see who goes to Smackdown tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Voice, The Chris Gethard Show, Deadliest Catch and The Jim Jefferies Show. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i am bringing my little notebook with me today for mom's physical therapy appointment. i'd love to bang out a good number of poems today.

i guess it's supposed to start warming up for the next few days. of course, i won't be surprised if there's more cold weather by the end of the week. this is a miserable fucking cycle.

that's all for me kids.

una mujer es lo más cercano que encontrarás a Dios

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...
