testing my patience

so i ended up going to the funeral today. i was a little surprised that mom lasted as long as she did. we didn't go to the cemetery but we were at the funeral home for almost 2 hours. i saw most of my cousins and whatnot. i didn't talk much as i certainly wasn't in the mood. when the service started, the cousin that molested me sat right in front of me. all i could think was pure fucking evil. i used to laugh when god would shove this shit in my face. now, it's just infuriating. i found it quite interesting that my mother never got mentioned at all in the service. i suppose that answers my question from the other day. purely selfish. these are the days i like to slink away with a book and a bottle of something strong. one day i'll make Dylan Thomas look like an amateur.

but, i survived it all. mom is certainly feeling the effects of being out for that long. she'll spend the rest of the day on her back with an ice pack. my sister is already back on the road home. she leaves for a cruise this weekend i believe. i think she gets back on my birthday.

so that's enough family for me for quite some time.

we had thunderstorms roll through here last night. the satellite was fucked up for about 20 minutes or so. it happened right as the President was starting to give his farewell address. i guess mother nature is a Trump supporter.

Smackdown was pretty good, for what i actually got to see. i wish they would have done the Cena match differently, but he likes to bury young talent as well.

205 Live was really good. i think they are really starting to find a groove on the show.

Taboo was interesting last night. it is certainly a very dark show. i did like that it looked like 1814 London and was pretty accurate for the period. Tom Hardy's character is beyond tortured. it was a bit of a mind fuck at times, but i enjoy that. i certainly will be back for the next episode.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, the mid season finale of Lucha Underground and Total Divas, i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at UMass. Charles Cooke is back for Dayton. hopefully he stays healthy for the rest of the season. i'm really hoping Dayton plays great tonight and wins big. the game is on CBS Sports Network.

i did listen to the latest Jim Norton & Sam Roberts podcast today. you can check it out by going here:

it's raining again here. joy.

i think i'm going to spend the rest of the afternoon deciding what poems are going to go where for my next batch of submissions.

i hope everyone has a great day. tell your loved ones you love them. and remember, love the earth, get cremated.

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...
