fireworks and stray cats, what a mix...

i was in bed last night and could hear some loud booms, most likely coming from the apartments behind us. this time of year always reminds me when i lived on the farm and just how much the cats hated the sound of fireworks. every year, i would lose a couple that would just run away. i figure they would end up as a meal for a coyote.

time for some poetry news... i wrote 5 poems last night. wrote them and typed them up in just under 50 minutes. not bad. i really enjoyed the first poems of July. hopefully more are on the way.

i sent out 35 poems today; 4 to The Commonline Journal, 6 to Record Magazine and 5 each to Nerve Cowboy, Horror Sleaze Trash, Synchronized Chaos, Live Nude Poems and Misfit Magazine. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

the New York Yankees lost yesterday 8-1 to Houston. they come back home tonight to start a series against Toronto. they are sending 5 players to the All Star game this year. hopefully Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez do well in the home run derby.

Germany won the Confederations Cup yesterday over Chile 1-0. considering this was Germany's B team, the entire world should be scared what team Germany is going to send to the World Cup next year.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. i urge everyone that only follows the show on television to check out the live feeds from time to time. they are much more entertaining than what you see on television.

Power was excellent last night.

Last Week Tonight was fucking hilarious as always.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i don't really have any plans for tomorrow. i think it's supposed to be hot and humid. so, i'll probably do what i do for most holidays... my laundry.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. for those of you whose weekend is extended, hope you enjoy it. for the rest of us, back to the fucking grind.

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...
