introspection

i read an article today about Leonard Cohen. he said in the interview that he is ready to die. i owe much of what i have done in my writing really to two major influences; Charles Bukowski and Leonard Cohen. so i have spent a good portion of today listening to some music and thinking. it's always a dangerous combination. i go to the doctor on Friday. it's supposed to be just a check up. in my gut, i have a feeling it's going to be something more. good times.

team USA really got outplayed for most of the game last night by New Zealand. so when New Zealand scored to even the game late, i wasn't surprised. i was more pissed that the USA never bothered to have any urgency until the last 3 minutes of the game. a 1-1 draw is not the end of the world, but they need to get their shit together for when they face Mexico next month in Columbus.

Smackdown was pretty damn good last night. i loved the interaction between AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose and James Ellsworth. overall, another great show.

The Voice was really good last night. i really think they have found some amazing talent this season.

Vice News Tonight was excellent once again. i really hope if you have HBO you are watching it or recording it to watch later.

Scream Queens was hilarious as usual.

Atlanta was excellent last night. maybe the most creative episode of television i have watched in years. mark my words, someone is winning a damn award from that show last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Lucha Underground, Vice News Tonight, Lip Sync Battle, American Horror Story, You're The Worst and Total Bellas, sometime tonight i'll watch NXT on WWE Network.

i think i will do a Soundcloud recording in the next few days of one of my poems from my latest chapbook. i have no clue what poem will be my next YouTube video. i have a few in mind but want to do a little something different.

the NHL season starts tonight. the New York Rangers play their first game tomorrow. i'll probably watch some of the games tonight, during the commercials most likely.

that's all for me today kids.

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...
