getting back in the groove

so that wild hair did get up my ass again today and i did a little poetry work. i sent out 17 poems today. 2 to Tuck Magazine and 5 each to Your One Phone Call, Because Eileen and Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

team USA got up 2-0 against Switzerland last night and you could see they were already thinking about playing Russia. it's a good lesson for kids to learn and it is easier to teach when you win. Switzerland controlled pretty much the rest of the game. if it wasn't for the USA's power play, they probably wouldn't have won 3-2. they will have to play much better if they want to beat Russia again in the semifinals. if they win, they will play for the gold medal against the winner of Canada vs. Sweden. if the USA loses, they will play for the bronze medal.

Monday Night Raw wasn't bad last night. that doesn't mean it was good either. i do like the fact that they are pushing Braun Strowman as much as they are. the main event scene definitely needs some fresh blood. the last man standing match between Braun and Sami Zayn last night was booked perfectly. that was probably the only thing on the show that was.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Smackdown. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Buffalo. hopefully they will extend their winning streak.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight on the road at St. Bonaventure. the two injured players made the trip, so i'm hoping they might actually play. the team will need them.

today has been another gloomy one. more fog, more rain, more blah. i still have the trash to do here and next door and of course it's raining again. good times.

that's all for me kids. i'll be on here sometime before the USA takes on Russia. it might be a short one tomorrow as i have to take mom to her next doctor's appointment at 6:45 in the morning on Thursday. so i might actually have to get some sleep tomorrow.

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...

when you get too much sleep

and the funny thing, you probably read that headline and thought, 10, 11 hours or something... no, i got roughly 6.5 hours of sleep and have been dragging all damn day. not even coffee could get me going. eventually, i did just kick myself in the ass and got on with the day.

i sent out 10 poems today; 5 each to Because Eileen and Misfit Magazine. when i hear back from these places, i'll pass along the verdicts.

the New York Yankees finally got a win last night in a bench clearing, wild fucking game. they beat Toronto 7-5, although they nearly pissed away another game in the bottom of the 9th. thankfully, they are now home for the rest of the season. they start a series tonight with Boston.

apparently getting two straight games of great defense from the New Orleans Saints is simply too much to ask for. between the fucking injuries and piss poor tackling, Atlanta did whatever the fuck they wanted last night. the Saints lost 45-32.

i lost both of my fantasy football matches. the one that stung the worst was the one i lost by 1.37 points. my teams are now 0-3 and 1-2. i told my mother, if this keeps up, this might be the year i say goodbye to fantasy football.

i thought The Voice was pretty good last night.

Monday Night Raw was the clusterfuck it normally is last night. i did like the cruiserweights getting a bigger spotlight last night. plus, Kevin Owens is pure gold. the feud with Seth Rollins has the chance to be fucking great. hopefully the powers that be don't fuck that up as well.

The Big Bang Theory was fucking hilarious last night.

Gotham was off the charts great. the show just keeps getting better.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be WWE Smackdown, The Voice, Scream Queens and Atlanta.

i haven't heard yet what mom's MRI showed. i'm not even sure if she's called the doctor yet. she's mostly just been in bed all day long.

i have trash to pick up here and next door, so that's all for me today kids.

i hope this finds everyone swimming in a pool of cash or liquor, whatever you prefer.

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...

Alexis told me yesterday that my poem "frogs" should be posted within a fortnight.

power napping my way through life

i had it all planned out. i would be done with all my Sunday night viewing sometime around 5 AM. a quick power nap and then it would be time to watch Manchester United. so, i got a quick 2 hours of sleep. i woke up to see that the game between United and Manchester Shitty had been cancelled. ok, time to get more sleep. another quick 3 hour power nap and i was basically up for the rest of the day. i'm sure i'm taking years off of my life by not getting good sleep. oh well.

the New York Yankees won yesterday 5-2. they start a road series tonight in Houston. they made a pretty big trade today, sending their closer to the Cubs for 4 players. i think the 4 players they are getting from Chicago are better than the 4 they gave to the Reds to get Chapman in the first place. all in all, excellent job by Brian Cashman for a change.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. i'm sure CBS is kicking themselves for not having the feeds on when a 6 hour endurance competition happens.

Ballers was excellent last night. Vice Principals was fucking hilarious. The Night Of continues to be fucking brilliant. Power was excellent with a great oh shit ending. Ray Donovan was pretty good. Roadies was very good. Last Week Tonight was brilliantly funny as fuck once again.

WWE Battleground last night was good. of course, i would have booked it a little differently, but the matches i wanted to be great were. i was so happy to see Bayley be Sasha Banks' partner in her tag match. hopefully the powers that be recognized the pop the crowd gave her. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn stole the show once again. it was a 5 star match for sure, even with Sami's fuck up. i'm fine with the title still being on Dean Ambrose. it should make for an interesting Monday Night Raw tonight.

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight as i will be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i did send out 13 poems today. 3 to Mad Swirl and 5 each to Because Eileen and Your One Phone Call. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts' Show podcast today. it was great as always. you can find it by going here: http://notsam.com/srshow/2016/7/25/srshow-taylor-strecker-is-dating-a-girl

i hope everyone had a great weekend. i think i have another power nap coming on.

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