the ides of March

i was completely fucking drained by the time i got home last night. it wasn't from the basketball games. it was from the over 20 minutes it took to get out of the parking lot. i have no fucking clue which group of stupid fucks were running that last night, but i surely hope it's better tonight.

as for the basketball games, i enjoyed both of them. in the first game, i was rooting for New Orleans, mostly because of my love for the Saints. but, it's hard for a team to win when their best player ends up choking a teammate as they are trying to come back in the second half. Mount St. Mary's won 67-66.

in the second game, Kansas State defeated Wake Forest 95-88. i was rooting for Wake Forest as i'm a huge Danny Manning fan from my youth. he won me some money when i was in the 6th grade when Kansas beat Oklahoma for the national championship.

tonight the games will be NC Central vs. UC Davis and Providence vs. USC. i hope the people from California are enjoying the snow and cold weather.

i enjoyed a couple of the performances on The Voice last night.

the teams are now complete, so now it's off to the battle rounds.

Smackdown was excellent last night. i loved the beating that AJ Styles gave Shane McMahon. that sets up their WrestleMania match quite nicely.

205 Live was pretty good last night as well. Austin Aries vs. Neville at WrestleMania will be a candidate to steal the show.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The Voice. i'll watch NXT on WWE Network when i get home tonight from the basketball games.

i did listen to the latest Jim Norton & Sam Roberts Podcast. you can find that by going here:

i heard back from Easy Street on my poetry submission from last week. they passed on the poems i sent, but encouraged me to send some more. i certainly will as Cami does a wonderful job actually explaining why the poems were rejected. i will respect the living shit out of any editor/publisher that takes the time to do that.

i will probably be on here tomorrow sometime after Manchester United plays in the Europa League.

i need to get going, so that's all for today.

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...
