the powers that be hate me...

so, i was sitting there in the dermatologist's office, waiting for my mother to get called in, when this stunning blonde walked in. and when i mean stunning, i'm talking holy shit beautiful. and i caught myself looking for a ring, which amazingly she didn't have. of course, mom's name got called a few minutes later. and just my luck, the stunning blonde wasn't still in the waiting room when we were leaving. i'm sure it doesn't help matters that i'm rarely in public anymore unless i'm taking mom to an appointment or doing the grocery shopping. it's a recipe to ensure loneliness that's for sure.

i sent out 15 poems last night, 5 each to Easy Street and Live Nude Poems; 2 to Tuck Magazine (already accepted for publication) and 3 poems to Mad Swirl. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

the New York Rangers will be facing the Ottawa Senators in the next round of the playoffs. i guess we'll see firsthand who won the trade from the off-season. it should be another tough one, but since the Rangers have the better goalie, i'll go with them.

the other matchups in the playoffs are Pittsburgh vs. Washington, Nashville vs. St. Louis and Edmonton vs. Anaheim. there was 18 OT games in the first round. i wouldn't be surprised if they get close to that number again in the second round. the Rangers series starts on Thursday.

the New York Yankees lost yesterday 2-1. a former pitcher for the team shut them down for most of the game. the Yankees had a chance to win the game late. they never could get a big hit though. shit happens. they start a series in Boston tomorrow night.

Silicon Valley was fucking hilarious last night.

Veep was excellent once again last night.

Last Week Tonight was fucking hilarious last night.

Guerrilla was really good last night. for me, Rory Kinnear is the one stealing the show.

Billions was excellent last night. i especially loved the ending. it's what always drew me to the show to begin with, sexual deviancy.

the finale of Feud: Bette and Joan last night was great. the acting that Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange did on this show was amazing.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Gotham. i will be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

El Clasico yesterday was just that, a classic. the game between Real Madrid and Barcelona had everything you could want in a game. goals, violence, controversy, and a winning goal at the death. such an amazing game.

i just realized that Mother's Day is coming up soon. i guess i better figure out what to get her.

i hope everyone had a great Sunday.

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...
