i was a busy boy today. i sent out 17 poems. 6 to The Carolina Quarterly, 5 to Horror Sleaze Trash, and 3 each to Dead Snakes and The Camel Saloon. when i hear back from these places, i'll pass along the verdicts.

i was in some fuck me pain this morning as a cold front was moving through. my back felt like shattered glass. the sun is out now and it's doing a little better, but not much.

i really enjoyed The Big Bang Theory last night. that show really makes me laugh.

i also enjoyed the New York Yankees beating the shit out of the Red Sox last night, 14-5. the game took forever, mostly due to the 5!!!!! errors the Red Sox committed. another series win for the Yankees. now, it's back home for a series against the Angels.

the New York Rangers play game 4 tonight against the Flyers. i'd love to win this one and get a big 3-1 series lead. i imagine i'll flip between some hockey and baseball tonight.

not exactly sure when i'll be on tomorrow. maybe after Ryan Giggs makes his debut as manager as Manchester United plays in the early afternoon. if the Yankees play in the afternoon tomorrow, then it will be early evening. regardless, i'll be on here tomorrow with some new filth.

hope everyone has a great weekend. be well. be creative. be the spark for a revolution.

peace...
