and then there's snow in April...

i woke up this morning to see a decent amount of snow in the grass. thankfully the pavement and sidewalks were still too warm for the snow to stick. and they are saying that by this time tomorrow, we'll be having thunderstorms. welcome to the fucking apocalypse.

here is your poetry for this day in National Poetry Month:

saw my new favorite at the bank today. one of these days i will confess to Alexis just how beautiful she is.

the New York Yankees were humming right along yesterday, up 4-1 over Toronto. then the usually steady bullpen shit the bed and gave up two massive home runs over the next 2 innings to turn a sure victory into a defeat, 7-4. the Yankees were supposed to have their home opener today, but the snow nixed that. so, they are going to try tomorrow afternoon to have the opener against Tampa Bay.

i spent a good portion of yesterday going through my records, sending out queries to all the places i had submitted to over the last year or so that i haven't heard back from. i figure if i don't hear back from someone after this query, i'll simply try to send the poems somewhere else and never bother to submit to that place again. i sent out 8 queries and heard back from two of them within a hour of sending the email. this is the job of being a poet that i wish i was rich enough that i could have that little boy that Bukowski said wrote his poems keep track of this shit for me.

Our Cartoon President was hilarious last night. the season finale next week should be great.

Homeland was fucking crazy last night.

Billions was excellent last night.

Here and Now was great last night.

Barry was really good last night.

Silicon Valley was really funny last night.

Last Week Tonight was fucking brilliant as always.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and King in the Wilderness. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i might watch some of the national championship game tonight between Michigan and Villanova. hopefully it's as good as the women's national championship game yesterday.

i will probably be on here early tomorrow as mom has physical therapy in the afternoon. this is a pretty busy week as i have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday and mom has one with a different doctor on Thursday. good times.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

follar la nieve

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...
