i wasn't made for being up before the sun

i had to get up early this morning. and by early, i mean sometime before 7. i had to drive mom to get her blood work done and some x-rays. i'm simply not a fan of being up that early anymore. i wanted to believe i gave that life up when i left the farm for good. here it is, late afternoon and it fucking feels like it's already time for bed. fuck me runnin'.

i did take along my pen and notebook this morning. i have a tendency to do what i did in high school all the time, write poems in public. i did really enjoy the paranoid looks i got from people when they saw me get out the pen and paper after staring at them for a few seconds. that's good fun. i wrote 3 poems while in the waiting area. the fourth poem came when i was back at the house, on the shitter after breakfast. it figures the best one would come from there. i do my best thinking anymore on the shitter. i did type all four poems up. i think 3 of the 4 are really good.

so the trip for the medical shit, breakfast, typing up poems, feeding the birds and two trips to the shitter were all done by 11 am. that's simply way too much for my liking.

what really sucks now is we are under a flash flood watch. it was dry all morning and my bone spurs never acted up. a little rain and hello agony. good times.

enjoy some music:

the New York Yankees got some great pitching from Tanaka yesterday and some good offense for a change, winning 6-2. Brett Gardner found out during the game that he made the AL All-Star team as an injury replacement. good for him, he deserves it. the Yankees finish off the first half of the season by starting a series tonight in Boston. hopefully they sweep the Red Sox and keep those clowns in last place.

Big Brother last night went as expected. i do like who the new HOHs are, Austin and Vanessa. those were the two people i actually knew of before the show started, via wrestling and poker. hopefully this week is interesting.

Lip Sync Battle was really funny last night. once again, the summer is a good time for some stupid tv that just makes you laugh:

here is some more funny shit:

tonight will be an interesting one. on top of the baseball game, team USA plays Haiti in the Gold Cup. i'm hoping the boys play a much better game than they did against Honduras. on the DVR tonight will be NJPW and a returning Treehouse Masters.

i did watch some of the USA women and their ticker tape parade in NYC this afternoon. everything they get they truly deserve.

i'd like to thank Janne Karlsson for his suggestions for this blog. one thing that i did like right off the bat and i will try to do each Friday is a blast from the past of my poetry. so, today here is an old YouTube video of mine. as i told Janne, my lazy ass needs to do some more of these videos before too long. anyway, hope you enjoy:

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i believe mom and i are going to go out car shopping. most likely scenario is her getting a new one and i get her old Toyota Highlander. it has over 250,000 miles on it but still runs very good. plus, if that does happen, that would be the first vehicle i have owned that was actually made in this century. as i always like to say, it's fun to always fail forward.

hope you have better weather than we do currently. have a great weekend. only fuck the ones that cough. drink a little too much and go leave your neighbor a surprise on their porch.

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...
