when the haggard old soul waves the white flag...

i couldn't fall asleep for shit last night. i tried music. i tried masturbation. i tried the old YouTube rabbit hole trick. i tried reading. nothing worked. at 4 in the morning, exhaustion decided to call the fight. i was back awake before 8 AM. i think i managed to really sleep from 8 to 9:15. this is a recipe to die in your 50's, i'm convinced of that. 6 more days before i go back to drinking. and that's regardless of what my fucking doctor says.

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

The Voice was pretty good last night. there was a couple surprises for the final 12, but nothing that actually shocked me.

NXT was excellent last night.

i did watch some of the playoffs last night; basketball and hockey.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, Life in Pieces, Gotham and Atlanta.

the New York Yankees start a series with Toronto tonight at home. it would be nice to see them go on a winning streak soon.

i'll probably watch some playoff hockey and basketball during the commercial breaks tonight.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. you can find that by going here:

i got the photo i ordered in one of the Kickstarter projects i supported today. now i just need to get a frame for the picture of Nosferatu. it's pretty fucking creepy.

i did do a little thinking on my poetry last night. i've got a couple publishers in mind to maybe do either a chapbook or another full length book. now it's just about getting my ass in gear and get everything in order to send. i'm stalling, hoping the weather will get better. that usually helps my arthritis.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store. i believe mom has a scroll ready for that. joy.

incluso un anciano espeluznante necesita amor

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...
