and the machine starts again...

i was in one of those moods last night. not depressed, but not happy either. when i was younger, i dreaded trying to write when i felt that way. now, i force myself to. not so much a catharsis but more of a bloodletting. and yes, there was alcohol involved. i wrote and typed up 8 poems last night. that filled up the notebook my sister's friends got me for Christmas. that's roughly 200 pages in under 6 months. that doesn't include all the small notebooks i have filled up as well. figures i would get my most prolific when creativity in this country is being killed off. i really liked the 8 poems i wrote last night. i'm sure they will find their way into my submissions soon.

here is your World Cup update: since the last time i posted, Mexico beat South Korea 2-1. Germany scored at the death to defeat Sweden 2-1. this morning, England beat the shit out of Panama 6-1. right now, Japan is playing Senegal. later, Poland takes on Colombia.

as pleased as i might have been with the New York Rangers in the first round of the NHL Draft, i was equally underwhelmed at what they did during rounds 2-7 yesterday. their player evaluations are radically different from everyone else in the league. the goalie they took in the second round most other scouts had going in the sixth round. it's shit like that that makes me want to scream. out of all the players they drafted yesterday, i think i might have liked one of the picks. either i'm going to be wrong and very happy, or i'll be proven right and fucking miserable that yet another draft has gone by and the Rangers got most of it wrong yet again.

the New York Yankees offense was absent yet again yesterday. they lost 4-0 to Tampa. that's the first time the Yankees have lost back to back games in a month. hopefully, they will avoid the sweep this afternoon.

ROH was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of Westworld, Succession, Last Week Tonight, The Affair, I'm Dying Up Here and Total Bellas.

i know at some point tomorrow i need to go to the post office and i'm going to have to take mom to see the doctor. she thinks she has pulled a muscle or done something to make her back even worse. good times.

i figure after all that is over, i'll be on here.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday will be even better.

recuerda siempre, las flores más hermosas crecen en la mierda

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...
