do the earth

anyone who immediately recognizes that the title to today's blog is my favorite Guided By Voices song is my new best friend.

welcome to the 22nd day of National Poetry Month. today, i'm shining a solar light on a great poet, friend, and just a cool fucking dude, Hosho McCreesh. Hosho is one of those dudes that does a little bit of everything. enjoy the links, BUY some things, and maybe make yourself a drink along the way.

and now a couple of videos:

i typed up the three poems about my father this morning. not sure when or if i'll be sending those out.

the New York Yankees got some great pitching once again last night and the offense decided to join in for a change. a good 5-2 win over a very good Tigers team. hopefully the Yankees can get a winning streak going again tonight. it won't be easy.

the New York Rangers go for a big 3-1 series lead tonight against the Penguins. hopefully the great road defense shows up again.

i was pretty happy with who got voted off The Voice last night. i think the best 8 performers are still on the show now. the competition will be pretty damn tough from here on out.

i haven't even got around to watching Deadliest Catch from last night. and since i have to take mom to the grocery store here in a little bit, i highly doubt i will get to watch it before the games tonight.

so, also on the DVR tonight will be Lucha Underground and i will have to hop on the WWE Network at some point to catch NXT.

Undateable was really fucking funny last night. that show is quickly becoming a guilty pleasure.

the weather has taken a turn back to winter today. the windchill makes it feel like it's in the 30's today. so much for spring.

for a little twist today, here's some music for you:

that's all for me today. i need to get ready to go to the grocery store and be the creepy fucker looking at hot women. good times.

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...

music:

and your pro wrestling video of the day:

a cold Friday

nothing like a cold front moving through, dropping the damn temps by 40 degrees, to leave my back as stiff as a corpse. just fucking fun. we didn't get nearly as much rain as i thought we would, and what we did get, the wind dried it out pretty damn quickly.

the Yankees were rained out again last night, so i pretty much jumped from channel to channel. a little college hockey, some TNA wrestling, some true crime stuff, the cooking channel, various music channels, etc. more or less it's really just the challenge to see if i can go the whole evening and not watch one commercial all the way through. a much easier game to play when you have a satellite i suppose.

i have no clue if the Yankees will play tonight or not. if they do, i'll be watching. if they are rained out for the third day in a row... i'll be jumping from channel to channel again i guess.

mom took me to a late lunch today at Little York Tavern. i haven't been to this place in years. we went there in all actuality to try the Dan Patrick Show beer, Audible Ale. i've been meaning to try this for quite some time, and let me tell you, it was worth the wait. a very smooth, tasty, easy to drink beer. i highly recommend it. hopefully a store around here will start selling it soon.

the poet of the day on my Google+ page is Hosho McCreesh. he does much more than just write poetry, i urge all of you to check out his website:

hopefully spring makes a comeback this weekend. or, at the very least, this cold ass wind goes away.

hope everyone has a great weekend. peace and chicken grease.

music today:

Pearl Jam - Binaural
