there must be something in the water...

i decided a few months ago to make my Google Hangouts public just in case any friends or fans wanted to get in touch with me. what it truly has done has brought every scam artist in the world to chatting with me. sadly for them, i have caught on. so, if you happen to be a genuine person and have no interest in fucking me over, i do apologize for being an asshole right from the get go. as for the rest of you, best of luck convincing me that you need money because you are stuck in Ghana or need help getting through nursing school or my favorite one, you need money because you have been left behind on your trip with UNICEF.

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

a little more poetry news to pass on. i heard back from Philosophical Idiot on my poetry submission i sent back in August of last year and then asked to send again last week. they decided to pass on the poems. this made me laugh. truly. so the plan is for me to get these poems published as a group of five at a certain place so you can see what another place happens to reject. just another way for me to perhaps help any of the younger poets out there with a little trick to make you a better poet. so more on that in early May.

the New York Yankees won yesterday against Toronto 5-1. it wasn't the Yankees top prospect they called up that stole the show yesterday. it was two other younger players that did the job. the Yankees lineup had no one in it that was over 30 years old. this was the first time they had a lineup like that in April since the early 40's i believe. i'm very happy to see them truly commit to being a younger team. now, let the kids grow into the jobs and let another dynasty build in the next few seasons. they start a series with the Twins tonight at home.

Westworld was spectacular last night. i forgot just how much i enjoyed this show. season 2 looks like it should be amazing.

Barry was very good last night.

Silicon Valley was hilarious last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as always.

Homeland was really good last night. the season finale next week should be great.

Billions was excellent last night.

Drop the Mic was pretty fucking funny last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and The Late Late Show Carpool Karaoke Primetime Special. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

the rain started this afternoon. thankfully, the grass got cut yesterday. now, if only the turf company mom uses would have fertilized the grass before it started raining instead of during the rain this afternoon.

it was really coming down when i went to the grocery store to pick up my prescription.

but, the weekend weather was really nice for a change.

i will probably be on here early tomorrow as mom has physical therapy in the afternoon. and then we have to do a late lunch plus some shopping at Menards while south of town. so, given the traffic at that hour down there, if i'm back up here by 7 PM, i'll be stunned.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.
