riding a good wave

so the water softener has been replaced, thank god. i got most of the iron out of the toilets, which i imagine will make mom pretty happy. and thankfully, the water no longer stinks.

i watched a good bit of The Voice last night. my gut tells me Danielle will narrowly beat out Michelle but i really have no clue. i enjoyed most of the performances last night. i am really looking forward to the finale this evening. it would be even better if there wasn't a shitload of other things i want to watch as well.

Monday Night Raw was excellent last night. the Mark Henry "retirement" had me laughing and then howling when he turned it into a beat down of John Cena. the potential match up between CM Punk and Brock Lesnar should be really interesting. add in the usual McMahon craziness, Daniel Bryan being brilliant and a surprise appearance from Dolph Ziggler and you have almost 3 solid hours of entertainment.

i caught the last 3 minutes of the hockey game last night. not that interesting to be honest with you.

i might throw a stray eye to the Yankees vs. Dodgers tonight. it will be good to see Donnie Baseball back at the stadium. my favorite Yankee of all-time.

also on the docket for tonight is Deadliest Catch, as well as team USA vs. Honduras in World Cup Qualifying. another must win get the damn 3 points and get closer to qualifying for Brazil.

June 6 is going to go down as one of my best days sending out poems ever. 10 out of the 11 i sent have been accepted for or actually published. that's a good stroke for the ego.

also, a big thank you to the great folks at BoySlut for the nomination. that was the cherry on top for my day.

staying on the poetry tip, i typed up 3 more poems this afternoon that i wrote last night. this gives me a batch of 6 fresh ones to send out, probably next week most likely. i believe i might have a few winners. hopefully i do.

i'm hoping tonight i will be enjoying a few victory beers while maybe catching a little of game 6 of the NBA Finals. of course, if it's a blowout, i won't bother.

and finally, for the muse, i hope your muscles feel better soon. maybe a glass of wine will help you a little more this evening.
