one of these days i'll be given the green light to...

i'm one of these hyper sensitive fucks who is probably paranoid about his surroundings and whatnot. so, to watch my mother almost get hit by a woman backing out her car because she wasn't paying attention infuriates me. mom got out of the way. like the dumb ass i am, i stood there to see if the bitch would hit me. she didn't. it baffles me how many people don't pay attention ALL of the fucking time. especially when you happen to be behind the wheel of something that can kill. i used to joke with my mother that i'm only living waiting for god to give me the go ahead to thin the herd. i'm too old to joke about it now.

we went out to lunch and to Menards today. i wanted some cheap shelves to try to organize my closet better. that's the weekend project. plus, i needed some better containers for the bird food and whatever else we could find while the sale was going on. we were in there for 2 hours i think. i guess we walked off lunch.

i think my angry side came out last night. both of the poems that got published last night; i thought that they had been rejected already. so imagine my horror when i noticed that i had already sent one off in another submission. thankfully, the publisher that got fucked in this understood and was thankful that i got in touch with her immediately. i'd like to think i have a pretty good reputation built up over the 21 years i've been published. the last thing i want to do is to start shitting on that. so, sorry to say it, but a certain place won't be seeing work from me again.

Big Brother went as i expected last night. i didn't mind seeing Frank leaving. i love that Paul is the new HOH.

Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll was excellent last night. i'm going to have to find that version of I Can't Stand the Rain they performed. so, so good.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW and Treehouse Masters.

the New York Yankees start a series in Tampa tonight. if they are really serious about making the playoffs, they have to win all 3 games down there. i doubt that happens. if it doesn't, this series should be the last one for a few of the players. the trade deadline is coming soon.

it's raining right now, so my body is starting to take a turn for the worse. good times.

hopefully everyone has a great weekend. i know the community picnic is going on out here. i have lived in this area since 1997. i have been to the picnic exactly 0 times. if i wanted to see a bunch of white people walking around thinking they are having fun, i'd watch fox news all day long.

i figure between my closet and my laundry, my weekend is pretty much set.

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...
