here comes the sun

yesterday was pretty fucking miserable. the weather was wet and gloomy all damn day. i believe i was in pain from the moment i woke up until the moment i finally fell asleep. and nothing that happened during the day really lifted my spirits.

the New York Yankees pissed away chance after chance yesterday and lost both games of the doubleheader, 9-2 and 4-3. they have to win today or chances are they will be playing in Houston on Tuesday.

Ohio State started off slow once again and played the first half yesterday like they were either stuck in mud or pissed that they were on the road. thankfully, Ezekiel Elliott woke up in the second half and decided to carry the damn team on his own. 274 yards and 3 touchdowns lead Ohio State to a 34-27 victory. without that, Ohio State would have lost. maybe one day this team will realize the talent it has and play to that instead of down to their opponents.

the Saturday Night Live documentary last night was pretty good. 40 minutes or so of it didn't record as the local NBC station had technical difficulties. that probably explains why the WWE Network was fucking up last night as well. too much damn rain. Saturday Night Live itself was ok. i thought Miley Cyrus did a decent job. but, i was so damn tired i will probably have to watch it again.

ROH was excellent last night. 3 really good matches from a baseball stadium. can't beat that.

the WWE special from MSG last night had some really good moments and then some moments where i just know i could write that part so much better than what they are doing right now. i did enjoy Brock Lesnar destroying The Big Show, Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens and The New Day vs. The Dudley Boyz. but, leave it to John Cena to piss all over what would have been a great night of wrestling. and i know he always says that he just does what the powers that be tell him to do, but you would think if he actually loved the business of pro wrestling he would tell those powers that be that it would be best for him to put a younger guy over every now and then. but, apparently that asshole can't bring himself to do that just yet. i doubt it ever fucking happens. at least he's supposed to be taking a few months off soon. thank fucking god.

time for some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

Manchester United plays Arsenal in about 30 minutes. i really hope United takes all 3 points today.

the New Orleans Saints play tonight against the Dallas Cowboys. Drew Brees apparently is going to play. hopefully they end their home losing streak.

tonight on the DVR will be the season finale of The Strain, Last Week Tonight, Homeland and The Affair.

i'm not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow as i will be probably still going over my fantasy hockey draft and wondering which players i'm going to lean on for the season. hard to imagine that's starting back up so soon again.

well, i need to go eat breakfast and read the paper before the game starts. i hope everyone had a great Saturday. may your Sunday be even better.

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...

and your pro wrestling video of the day:

a busy morning

i got something resembling 5 hours of sleep last night. i haven't got my usual, you were out in the sun too long asshole, shits yet, so i have that to look forward to later today. i did manage to get the grass cut in a little under 4 hours. so, maybe i wasn't out in it too long. the clouds are getting dark right now. i made sure to get the cats fed before it rains.

i did type up the 5 poems i wrote yesterday waiting for my mother to get out of her MRI. i really like these. i will send them out in my next batch of submissions.

this morning i sent out 17 poems. 2 to BoySlut and 3 each to Jellyfish Whispers, Pink Litter, Dead Snakes, The Camel Saloon, and Pyrokinection. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

today is my father's birthday. i wasn't sure i should submit some poems today, given the horrific nature of this date. but, i figured i would roll the dice.

the Yankees came from behind again last night to win 6-4. amazingly, that is their 17th straight win at home against Toronto. they will hopefully extend that streak later this afternoon.

also today, Manchester United takes on Roma. that should be a good test for the new system the boys are playing. i'll be curious to see who LvG plays today.

tonight, i believe the UFC is on FOX. plus, ROH has a new episode. also, i think there is some boxing on. so, looks like it will be a night of combat sports.

i did watch the new episode of Treehouse Masters last night. if i EVER get some fuck you money in my life, i'm getting one of these tricked out treehouses. they are fucking amazing.

i did manage to finally catch up with all i missed on YouTube on Thursday and Friday. i think i'm getting too old to keep up with the digital age. i can just imagine how distracted i would be if i actually had a smartphone. not sure how much longer i can keep fighting that.

so far, i'm holding strong.

wow, my back just tightened up. there is definitely rain on the way.

well, with that, i'm cutting this short.

mom has been mentioning that we might go to the Celtic Festival later today. if that does happen, i'll be sure to take along a camera.

hope this finds everyone well. i do hope you enjoy your weekend. only fuck the ones that cough.

be creative. be amazing. be easy. be easy again. and again. and again...

peace and chicken grease...

and here comes the rain, at least the clouds

i'm running on not much sleep, but i do have some links for your national poetry month goodies:

yesterday was mostly a sports day for me to forget. Manchester United looked lost and disinterested for most of the game against Everton and lost 2-0. there are reports today that David Moyes is going to be fired. i'll believe it when i see it.

the New York Rangers got up 2-0 on the Flyers and then feel into their usual Game 2 trap. for some fucking reason, they took the foot off the gas and got shelled, losing 4-2. not pretty.

the New York Yankees turned a win into a near loss into a win in extra innings yesterday. 5-1 in 12 innings. they play 3 games at the Red Sox starting tomorrow night.

the Sunday night shows were good as usual. Nurse Jackie made me long for my days on drugs. Californication is the show i always wanted to write. Silicon Valley was really good. i think that show is really starting to click. Veep is always funny as sadly, that's how the government actually works. Total Divas was really good. i need to get to Hawaii one day before i die. and Years of Living Dangerously is so sad to see how this planet is being raped by the greedy and the ignorant. i usually have to have a rest period after that show or i'll go to sleep angry.

tonight is my usual struggle between The Voice and Monday Night Raw. The Voice is live tonight, so i'll probably give that some more attention.

spent most of today doing some running for my mother and fucking around on iTunes. mom has this one spot that is leaking where it looks like the liquid glue they used to close her up didn't work. so, that's been fun trying to get that bleeding stopped while trying my best to not cause anymore pain. that's a little tricky to say the least. she got some sleep today, so hopefully she'll start feeling better soon.

it's supposed to rain tonight into the morning. that should help either both of us sleep better or be angry as fuck with pain. i'll let you know tomorrow.

check out the right hand side of the blog for my latest gift, the i crave freebies links. they actually work. use them people.

that's all for me. be well. hope everyone enjoyed the weekend.

peace and chicken grease bitches.
