so much for a peaceful 2025...

 i didn't get to sleep last night until 5 this morning. i did manage to write 3 poems last night. more on that in a bit. i woke up around 9:45 this morning and checked my phone. i believe the first words were what the fuck. being 48 years old, i'm no longer surprised by the violence, or the lack of humanity anymore. what really pisses me off anymore is how this country turns a blind eye to homegrown terrorists. we still operate with this mentality that our enemies are nations, etc. i always thought this was why we could never win in Vietnam. we don't understand guerillas or the lone wolfs that get radicalized. and we still don't. the Sugar Bowl tonight between Georgia and Notre Dame has been postponed to tomorrow night. i'm sure the death total will rise and lord knows how many IEDs they are going to find around the French Quarter. the terrorist in question is 42 years old and an American citizen. from Texas of course. just fucking crazy...

so, on the 3 poems i wrote last night. i need to write about 40 poems that will be for my new book, untitled as of now. John Patrick Robbins from The Rye Whiskey Review wants to publish a book of poems of mine. i have always enjoy working with JPR, so i am definitely going to jump at this opportunity. so, i basically am going to write poems for the book specifically that no one will see until the book is published. i also am going to try to write poems for the places i send to as well. what this actually means is i won't be sleeping for the next 5 months. good times.

i finished the grocery shopping yesterday and got home in time to watch the second half of Dayton vs. LaSalle. Dayton won the game 84-70.

team USA defeated Canada last night, 4-1, to win Group A at the World Juniors. the USA will play Switzerland on Thursday in the quarterfinals.

oh goody, now the FBI believes the terrorist, who was in the US Army by the way at some point, didn't act alone in this. why do i think this is now becoming an old episode of Homeland?

the college football playoff game last night between Penn State and Boise St. was won by Penn State, 31-14.

NXT last night was ok.

Hard Knocks last night was very good.

Texas is leading Arizona St. 17-3 at halftime in their college football playoff game today.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite.

Ohio State tries to get its revenge today against Oregon in the Rose Bowl. winner will play the winner of the Texas vs. Arizona St. game in the semifinals of the college football playoffs.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i know at some point i need to get my driving license renewed before my birthday on the 21st. i also have a doctor's appointment on Friday. joy.

a big thank you to everyone for checking out my first published poems of 2025:

i hope everyone had a good New Year's Eve.

i hope 2025 is a great year for all of us. i know that is impossible as so many of us tend to slip through the cracks of this world. i just hope this blog can continue to be a little ray of whatever you need it to be to keep your head above water.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

Nada como empezar el nuevo año con la muerte

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...
