you ever smell something so good it stops you right in your tracks...

i didn't expect writing this so late today. but, i suppose being out in public on the anniversary of my father's death was better than sitting at home, wallowing in hate. more on today in a little bit...

for National Poetry Month, i give you:

i was pleased with whom the New Orleans Saints took in the first round last night. lord knows they need as much help on defense as possible. hopefully more of that happens tonight and tomorrow.

i was really happy to see 5 Ohio State players go in the top 20 of the draft. hopefully even more of them get drafted in the next 2 days.

The Big Bang Theory was really funny last night. i really didn't watch much of WWE Smackdown last night. i already knew what happened and decided to watch the draft and some playoff hockey instead. i did watch Lip Sync Battle last night, which was fucking hilarious:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be VICE.

i'm currently watching the NFL Draft while doing this. i'll probably flip over to the Yankees vs. Red Sox game during the commercial breaks once i get this done.

so mom was running behind this morning. she was worried that she was going to be late to her physical therapy appointment. apparently, she forgot that i look at speed limits as simply a suggestion. we made it with 6 minutes to spare. thankfully, she got discharged from her therapy today. she's made enough of an improvement that they would rather have her stop now and have some appointments left in case she regresses. after that, we went out to eat. we decided to go to Smokey Bones, a place we hadn't gone to in years. it was a much better experience than the last time we were there. that made me happy as i love the Cuban sandwich there. after lunch, we headed to get her vehicle serviced. oil change, tires rotated, new air filters, etc. mom decided she wanted to go home after that.

that gave me plenty of time to type up the 5 poems i wrote in the waiting room this morning. i really, really like 2 of those 5. after mom got ready, we headed to the grocery store.

the grocery store was busy as hell. thankfully, we didn't need a ton of things. while i was walking to get some lemonade, i walked by this woman that smelled like the woman of my dreams. it was one of those smells that made me stop in my tracks and close my eyes and smile. as i turned around, of course she was gone. but i know what i'll be putting myself to sleep to tonight.

i think i have to take mom to get some more shit shredded tomorrow morning. after that, i have no clue what i'm doing tomorrow other than sitting around and watching sports.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. it is supposed to rain here, which i don't mind as they finally reseeded the yard today. a good soaking rain would be great.

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...
