i think i figured out how i will die one day...

ask anyone that knows me, and one of the first things they will say about me is my passion for sports. it's rather uncommon for some guy who also writes poems, dabbles in photography and watercolors. you should see the looks i get when i talk about my love of Tori Amos in the same breath as Slayer. so, as i was screaming at the television this afternoon about some HORRIFIC officiating, i believe i have figured out how i will die. screaming at some blind fuck for an obvious bad call. now, what i don't know is if this will happen at home or at a game. i'm thinking the poems and the art may sell better if it happens in public. of course, knowing my luck, some fucker there will know CPR and save my life and i'll get to be in poverty forever. good times.

as you might imagine, Dayton lost today to UConn 75-64. the game was pretty damn close for 36 minutes. then, the refs decided Dayton was getting too close to Jesus Boatright, UConn's best player. now, his first name isn't Jesus, but don't tell that to the officials. of course, it doesn't help that Dayton went ice cold in the second half as well. oh well, they play again on Sunday against the loser of Boston College vs. West Virginia. as much as i would like to play WV (their best player used to play at Dayton) i don't see it happening.

last night, The Big Bang Theory was good. i'm a little surprised the show can still make me laugh after all these years.

i picked the football game wrong last night but my fantasy player did pretty good. i have a 10 point lead in the game that i give a shit about. i figure i'll start winning in the other league now that i don't care.

tonight, since the Rangers game isn't happening because of the end of the world type snow in Buffalo, it will be some channel hopping until Sonic Highways comes on. i believe this episode is about the visit to New Orleans. i'm really looking forward to this one.

i spent some time on NoiseTrade this morning. decided i needed some "new" music to listen. i found 3 great albums that i will post links to below. nothing beats FREE music.

i've got some words swimming in my head. i was floating some around last night before i eventually fell asleep. that usually means i've got some poems coming. and hopefully they come tonight.

i'll be on here tomorrow in the morning. seeing that Manchester United and Ohio State play at the same time tomorrow, i'll be fucking crazy most of the day. so you'll get the calm before the storm.

hope everyone has a great weekend. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

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...
