imagine if this country gave two shits about mental heath...

i was getting the poems together this morning when i heard the news about the latest school shooting. as someone who doesn't own a gun, i'm for as much gun control as possible. but i always imagine what if we gave two shits about mental health and actually took care of people before they got to the damn stage where they wanted a gun to do harm. now, the optimist buried deep within me believes it would help at the very least. the cynic that runs my damn life already knows nothing is going to fucking change and it never fucking will. and people wonder why i want to live somewhere else...

i sent out 33 poems today. 3 each to The Beatnik Cowboy and The Blake-Jones Review; 5 each to Live Nude Poems, Ink Pantry and The Scum Gentry; 6 each to The Stray Branch and Record Magazine. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

the season finale of American Horror Story was okay last night. i was hoping for a bit more violence.

NXT was excellent last night.

AEW was excellent last night as well.

Cake was really good last night.

The Masked Singer was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Young Sheldon, The Unicorn, Perfect Harmony, Will & Grace, Mr Inbetween and Desus & Mero. i watched NXT UK earlier this afternoon, it was excellent.

the New York Rangers play down in Tampa tonight. i'd love to see the Rangers continue their good play and get a win on the road.

i might watch some of the NFL game tonight between the Browns and Steelers.

mom has an appointment with the eye doctor tomorrow morning. i'm hoping they can figure out what the fuck is going on with her eyes. i will probably do the grocery shopping after that is over. so, i should be on here in the afternoon tomorrow.

it warmed up a bit here today, so most of the snow is gone.

until tomorrow kids...

¿Cuántos tiroteos escolares tienen que suceder antes de que ocurra el cambio?

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...
