poetry in the morning, mindless bullshit at night

got my ass in gear this morning and sent out poetry to the following places:

Rattle (Poetry Contest)
ZYX
ART:Mag
The Camel Saloon
Horror Sleaze Trash

hopefully the factory put the right poems in the right places. time will tell.

as for tonight, some mindless television. tonight marks the return of Big Brother, one of the few guilty pleasures i allow myself. and after that will be two of the best shows on tv, Wilfred and Louie. some local news, Letterman, Fallon and then Big Brother After Dark on Showtime 2. hopefully this cast doesn't suck. from what i've seen so far, it could be an interesting season. of course, if it sucks, more sleep for me.

music today:

Beck - Guero
AC/DC - The Razors Edge
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
KISS - Destroyer
Pixies - Bossanova
Beastie Boys - Hot Sauce Committee Part Two

where did the sun go?

the sun is out and it is beautiful. a nice cool breeze, hardly any humidity, damn near perfect. i take a quick shower and poof, where did the sun go? dark clouds but no rain. talk about a good day ruined.

took a trip to the bank. glad to see my hometown is still on the downward spiral it started 25 years ago. after a trip to the old house, it was back home to feed the birds.

i really only feed the birds to keep the cats entertained. once in a blue moon they catch one.

i sent 5 poems off to Black-Listed Magazine. hopefully something will stick.

a night of the Yankees, Deadliest Catch, some bullshit with the queen, a little NBA, then Letterman and Jimmy Fallon await me.

selections of music today:

Pixies - Death to the Pixies
Warren Haynes Band - Live at the Moody Theater

"If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?" - John Wooden
