a dreary day in the neighborhood

i wrote 6 poems a few days ago. i looked over them again today. i like a few of them but i think i'll do another writing session before my next round of submissions. i would have loved to do that today. but, since the sunshine decided today was a vacation day, it was nothing but rain and clouds. so, i've been miserable for most of the day. good times.

the New York Yankees got whipped last night in Arizona, 12-2. thank god i didn't waste any time on that game. i doubt i will tonight either.

The Voice was pretty damn good last night. there really wasn't a bad performance by any of the 8 left. i have no clue who gets cut tonight as they go from 8 to 4. i think the only ones truly safe are Adam and Alisan.

Gotham was amazing last night. i can't fucking wait for the season finale next week.

Monday Night Raw was very good at times and then just was flat as hell the rest of the show. they would do themselves a huge favor if they would cut the show to 2 hours.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and Deadliest Catch.

i should watch the NBA Draft Lottery tonight, but i know the Sacramento Kings have no shot at getting the #1 pick.

Manchester United won today, clinching 5th place in the Premier League. that means they will go straight into the group stage of the Europa League next season. oh joy. i was hoping that LVG would be fired by now. maybe they are waiting until after the FA Cup final on Saturday. the best thing of today was there was no injuries. Wayne Rooney got his 100th goal at Old Trafford. Marcus Rashford and Ashley Young scored the other 2 goals. fucking Chris Smalling had an own goal in the last 30 seconds of the game. that cost David de Gea his 16th clean sheet of the season. the boys play Crystal Palace on Saturday at Wembley in the FA Cup final. hopefully they win or this season would be a complete fucking waste.

i have trash to take out and a victory beer to consume. that may end up being my dinner tonight.

i didn't watch much of the hockey game last night. it looks like the Penguins and Lightning could go 7 games as well. i didn't catch any of the basketball game last night either. i was a little surprised when i saw Golden State had lost. i may try to catch a bit of Cleveland vs. Toronto tonight.

i need to go to the bank tomorrow to deposit some money. hopefully the weather will be better by then.

that's all for me kids. hope your day was better than mine.

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...
