that was better, i guess...

i was interested to see how Manchester United was going to play today, given all the changes after the debacle on the weekend. i suppose it was better, seeing that they defeated Bournemouth 2-0. goals from Smalling and Lukaku and a nice blind eye from the official were the difference in the game. United plays this weekend in the FA Cup semifinal, against Tottenham. i'm hoping United comes out to win and not just park the bus and hope to get a late goal to win.

here is your poetry for this day of National Poetry Month:

the New York Yankees played like shit last night and lost to the Marlins 9-1. thank fucking god i didn't watch much of that one. the Yankees are off today and start a series tomorrow at home against Toronto.

The Voice was really good last night. it was all team Blake and Alicia. of course, that means tonight won't be as good. but, they will reveal the rest of the final 12 tonight.

Smackdown was excellent last night. i really love all the people that went to Smackdown in the Superstar Shakeup. that should make both shows more interesting for months to come.

205 Live was really good last night.

Deadliest Catch was good last night.

The Chris Gethard Show was crazy last night.

The Jim Jefferies Show was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The Voice. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i did watch a good amount of playoff hockey last night.

i wrote 14 poems yesterday in the waiting room while mom was doing her physical therapy. i typed them up last night and i think a few of them are really good.

after mom and i had lunch, we ran into one of my sister's friends as we were leaving the restaurant. i think this was the first time i had seen this woman in almost 20 years. she recognized me immediately, which i haven't figured out if that is a good thing or not yet.

i was saddened to hear that Bruno Sammartino died today. as i saw one article put it, he's the guy that influenced everyone in professional wrestling to this day. he will be missed.

i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. i think i may spend a little time getting some poems ready to go out. i really should get another book together, at least a chapbook. of course, i need to find a publisher as well. (hint, hint)

that's all for me kids.

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...

the weather today and yesterday has been nearly fucking perfect. if i was in a better mood or not in pain at the moment, i might actually open the windows and take a long nap. of course, i don't live in that utopia. my right ankle has been killing me all day long. and the joy of all joys, i woke up this morning with my left hip bothering me. my life would be nearly complete if i can find out that i now have arthritis in my hip. i believe this is god testing how soon will i drink myself to death. good times.

Manchester United had a couple of juicy chances today against Chelsea. unfortunately, it was one of those fucking days where nothing would click just right. and i think all of us knew, if Chelsea scored first, they were going to park the bus and make the game fucking boring. sure enough, that's what happened. Chelsea won 1-0. they will win the title this year, i have no doubt of that. hopefully United will finish in the top 4. i like their chances of doing that even with the loss today.

the New York Yankees won last night 5-4. A-Rod hit 2 home runs and drove in 4. i guess the year off with a drug suspension did him good. the bullpen was great last night. hopefully they can win two games in a row for the first time this season tonight. lord knows, i could use a victory beer.

i'll watch a little of that until the New York Rangers play game 2 of their series with the Penguins tonight. hopefully, the boys will get the job done again tonight.

on the DVR tonight will be ROH. that should be another great episode. i'll probably watch it tomorrow morning before i head over to the farm to take out the trash.

i helped mom this morning at the farm. we cleaned up the house as best we could. today was the first open house. i really hope that this auction in a few weeks will be a huge success. and i really hope my truck gets sold as well as the farm. i could use the money.

that's all for me today kids. i'm going to crawl in bed and start dreaming of Latin women burying my face in their ass and hope all my pain goes away. i guess i better keep the lotion nearby.

i hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

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...
