a productive day

always love when the words hit me out of nowhere and then holy shit, 4 poems i like are sitting in front of me just like that (snaps fingers). i guess i might as well use those 4 poems for the poetry contest i got in the mail yesterday. i haven't done a contest in a decade but i figure, what the fuck. the winner gets $5,000, so i might as well just press my luck.

on top of that, went through all my other poems and i now have my nice big batch of poems to send out, later this month most likely. always good when the factory keeps churning out a good product.

did my part for the economy and got gas today and placed an order on amazon.com. say goodbye to my health care refund check.

music for today:

John Prine - Souvenirs
Dawes - Nothing is Wrong
Nine Inch Nails - And All That Could Have Been

"There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness." - Aldous Huxley

a sure sign of an impending apocalypse

no, it's not that the Yankees have won 2 games in a row. and no, it's not that Rafael Soriano was able to get the final 2 outs on just 2 pitches. no, it's not that A-Rod hit another meaningless home run just as that fat head asshole Michael Kay was bitching and moaning about A-Rod's lack of power.

no, it's not that the Celtics looked like they had life tonight against the Heat.

Johan Santana threw the first no-hitter in New York Mets history tonight. all those years, over 8,000 some games...

nothing disgusts me more than Mets fans happy. except maybe Red Sox fans.

if i wake up to a world tomorrow i'll be stunned.

may we all rest in peace. and perhaps, stop eating each other. what the fuck is up with all the cannibals in the news. are these fucking zombie shows that fucking good?

and now a quote from out in the blue somewhere

"An intellectual is a person who's found one thing that's more interesting than sex." - Aldous Huxley
