tricking the brain into not realizing it should hurt...

it started to rain last night i think. when it did, i was busy destroying my brain by doing as many things as possible at the moment. i was watching wrestling, and porn, and going through poems to send out today. i'd like to think of that as a kind of dirtbag renaissance man, especially since i was also drinking at the time. by the time i fell asleep, my body didn't know it was supposed to be in pain from the rain coming down. of course, waking up this morning and the pain was fucking horrible. this is when i wish i was like a normal person and the rain would actually help me sleep better.

so yeah, i sent out 21 poems today. 3 each to Mad Swirl and Red Eft Review; 5 each to Otoliths, Misfit Magazine and Alien Buddha Press. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

NXT was really good last night.

both episodes of NXT UK were good last night.

205 Live was very good last night.

the Dayton Flyers won last night over Western Michigan, 85-72. Dayton should have won the game by 30 or more, but they refuse to just bury shitty teams. to me, that's on the coach being unable to instill that killer instinct into the team, most likely because the coach doesn't possess it either. it was good to see Josh Cunningham make some damn free throws and Obi Toppin was a ridiculous 11 for 11 from the field last night. the man is a dunking machine.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and WWE Tribute to the Troops.

i did listen to episode 217 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:

i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store. i'm hoping i won't have a fucking scroll to take with me, but i probably will. and i'll probably have to make another trip since i'm going to just go ahead and assume something will be wrong with mom's pills. joy.

i guess i should start wrapping some gifts tonight. if my arthritis isn't winning the war, that will begin tonight. if not, there's always the weekend.

goodbye for now kids...

algunos días, incluso gritar no ayuda

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...

response from Alien Buddha Press

i heard back from Jay at Alien Buddha Press on my recent poetry submission. my poems "typical christian", "maria", "that cycle of abuse in the name of the lord", "something other than rumor" and "chasing shadows on this side of the world" have been accepted for publication in the first issue of the Alien Buddha zine. it should come out sometime in late fall/early winter.

not bad for just 4 hours of sleep...

i sent out 31 poems this morning. thankfully, my new mouse worked great, so i didn't have to do much typing. with the rain in the area, that was nearly fucking perfect. i sent 3 poems each to Mad Swirl and The Beatnik Cowboy; 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash (3 already published), Alien Buddha Press, Academy Of The Heart And Mind, Otoliths and Synchronized Chaos (already accepted for publication). when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

i was up late because the New York Yankees won in Oakland last night, 5-1. they saved all of their offense for late in the game. but, it was a victory they really needed. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.

Smackdown was pretty good last night.

205 Live was really good last night.

Fuck That's Delicious was hilarious last night.

the season finale of Hard Knocks was pretty good last night.

the premiere of Mayans M.C. was excellent last night. i think i will really like this show.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lucha Underground, Big Brother and Mr. Mercedes. i'll watch NXT and the Mae Young Classic sometime tonight on WWE Network.

besides doing all the poetry work today, i've been helping mom reorganize her closet. she's not able to lift anything above her head. so, i've been putting all the boxes she wants up on the top shelf for her.

i know at some point we need to go down to Best Buy and get a new television. that might happen tomorrow, or it might have to wait for the weekend when my sister is here for her birthday.

i don't think they have picked up the trash yet today. i'm guessing they are waiting for it to start raining for that to happen. the fuckers.

today, i truly have felt like one of my favorite lines from my mother... busier than 9 cats covering up shit in a windstorm.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i know mom has a phone call with some kind of nurse tomorrow that i think she wants me to sit in on. i'm hoping that's not too early in the morning.

la muerte es solo una larga siesta

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
