it made me think of a line from a John Prine song

watching parts of the inauguration today was simply a way to pass the time. the newly sworn in king thinks he can change everything. these simpletons that actually believe he will help them... god bless them. if 40 years in this country has taught me anything, the rich will always stay rich and none of them want to truly help the poor. that's why we have a lottery and powerball you dumb asses. i have surmised that Trump never emotionally evolved from the age of 13, when he got sent off to military school. i believe the John Prine line goes "just another child that has grown old". so now the child believes he is king. he might want to check with the party he's associated with, because they have no fucking desire at all to give the power to the people. although i'm sure every hate group in this country loved that line, i know there's no chance in fucking hell that big business won't still run this shit show. the only thing i hope that comes from this asshole running the country is a better opposition and a movement of the arts that actually will trump hate.

i heard back from Nerve Cowboy today on my poetry submission from back in March of 2016. an early birthday present to me, they decided to pass on the poems. oh well.

i happened to read that rejection note right before i went to the grocery store. 1 bottle of vodka, 1 bottle of spiced rum... i didn't get myself a birthday cake though, i am trying to take my type 2 diabetes somewhat seriously.

the Dayton Flyers won last night against Richmond 75-59. they were missing their best defensive player, Kyle Davis, so it was somewhat surprising to see they held Richmond to its lowest points total of the season. it helped that Richmond was 2-20 on 3 pointers last night. the win gives Dayton a share of first place in the A10. they play next on Sunday against a pretty shitty Saint Louis team.

the win was also Dayton's 1600th win all time.

the New York Rangers won last night in Toronto 5-2. that's a good way to end a losing streak.

The Big Bang Theory was really funny last night.

Life in Pieces was hilarious.

Fuck, That's Delicious was great. i absolutely love all of the food in the city of Chicago.

The Pizza Show was pretty interesting. you have to love a host that's willing to get drunk on camera.

Caraoke Showdown was ok last night.

Lip Sync Battle was really good last night. it usually is when comedians are on it.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NJPW, Treehouse Masters and Real Time with Bill Maher.

it rained most of the night and it is supposed to rain more tomorrow night. i didn't know we moved to a fucking rain forest. i think i heard a guy say on the news yesterday that there have only been 4 days this month where it was dry. i used to think that was a good thing when i lived on the farm. those days are over. and with my arthritis to the point where it kills me to stand for more than 15 minutes at a time, a move to the desert would be fine by me. at least skin cancer will get me better drugs.

with my birthday being tomorrow, i have no clue when i'll be on here. i'm shooting for after the Manchester United game, but who knows.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. call if you need bail money.

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...
