bring on the weak end

if the pain in my bones is correct, it will be raining here in a few hours. in a perfect world, i'll be home from the grocery store before it starts. in reality, it will probably be raining as i'm putting the groceries into the car. good times.

last night was a pretty fucking funny one. i laughed so damn hard i nearly pissed my pants and passed out, at the same time. you talk about talent. the first thing that made me howl was this from Lip Sync Battle:

Big Brother went as i thought it would. it should be an interesting week with one of the twins as HOH. Married was hilarious last night. and i think i'm really going to enjoy Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll. that show made me really laugh. and to have Robert Kelly on drums makes me laugh even harder.

then came The Tonight Show. as i told my mother this morning, this completely reminded me of Carson in the 70's:

i haven't laughed that fucking hard in a long time.

now enjoy a long musical break my friends:

i had a fan send me this next song a long time ago. i still think of her even though we have long since lost touch. so, wherever you are Kelly, i do hope you are well.

the baseball season starts back up tonight. the New York Yankees will be at home playing Seattle. hopefully the boys can get on a nice winning streak to start the second half.

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW and Treehouse Masters.

and then late tonight, Manchester United takes on Club America in Seattle, Washington. i'm really interested to see how all the new players look. plus, i never turn down a chance to have a victory beer.

i feel like today is going to be a good one. it's always nice to wake up to poems being accepted. and then i found some new FREE music from Wilco and Third Eye Blind.

and since those names should have taken you back, welcome to Flashback Friday. today, let's revisit one of my favorite poems i have ever written. and sadly, it's a true story:
http://www.zygoteinmycoffee.com/100s/issue117socialanxiety.html

i smile when anyone says i make this shit up. god, i really wish that was the case. but, sadly, all the "good" poems comes from experience. and i get those published a hell of a lot more often than when i just sit back and let my imagination take over. now i like the imagination ones better, mostly because they didn't involve me going through any fucking pain to make them.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i will be back on here sometime before the USA plays Cuba tomorrow in the Gold Cup.

the weather is supposed to be really hot and sticky this weekend. just perfect weather for fat people like me.

enjoy that visual.

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:

let the fun begin

it was nearly 90 degrees today before it was noon. and, of course, i have no clean shorts. at least i had some thin pants i could wear and not be sweltering to death in. i just love when it decides it's going to be summer right when it should be cooling down. i know the damn crops don't need this heat. this is the kind of shit that takes a great harvest to well, what could have been. hopefully it will cool down soon.

the Yankees played like they gave a shit last night, winning 5-1. when they can do that for a few weeks in a row, i'll start giving a shit again.

Big Brother was what i figured it would be last night. hopefully after Nicole gets evicted again tonight, Frankie is the next to go. there's a double eviction tonight, so at least there is hope.

The Bridge was spectacular last night. the violence has really picked up in these last few episodes and next week looks to be even better. best show going today.

tonight is the start of the NFL season. i have no players going tonight, so i'll be in and out of the game all night long. other than Big Brother, tonight i'll be watching Married and You're the Worst on the best network going today, FX.

looks like we're going to have to hit the grocery store here soon. i'm guessing tomorrow, hopefully before the storms come. there's nothing quite like carrying in groceries in a thunderstorm with a bad back. pure fucking joy.

if i do get some time tomorrow, i'm going to get the next batch of poems ready to go out. i really have no clue how many i have to send out. that will kind of determine how many places i send to. and since the fall sports are getting ready to take over my life, my next batch of work will be going out in one of my classic typing at 3 in the morning sessions. as long as the victory beers are flowing, all will be well.

that's all for me today. thanks for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

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

another creative outburst

before i get to what the hell i was doing up at 3 in the morning making YouTube videos, i have a little story to tell.

so, yesterday i wrote that i had not seen my cat Tolstoy for over 2 weeks. lo and behold, today when i go out to feed the cats, Tolstoy is where he normally is, just chillin', waiting for some food. at least i know one creature that reads this blog. and i completely understand why i prefer cats to dogs; they are indifferent pricks much like myself.

now back to our regularly scheduled programming...

those two YouTube videos came from just not being able to fall asleep last night. so, i finally decided to see if i could find a spot in my dirty ass room to set up the mini tripod mom got me awhile back. once i figured that out, it was go time. both of those poems have been on my 'to do' list for quite some time. i hope everyone enjoys the videos. and if you do, please feel free to tell EVERYONE and share it with the world.

the Yankees play tonight down in Tampa. i almost give a shit.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. as i thought, Nicole got the boot. the next eviction will be the most interesting one of the season. i figure whoever does get voted out will end up walking right back in, as that is what the next twist will be.

Married and You're The Worst were good last night as well. i suppose FX doesn't do any bad shows.

tonight i'll be checking out the season finale of Treehouse Masters and another episode of The Knick on Cinemax. if i somehow also get a victory beer out of the evening, i will be thrilled.

i did have a drink this afternoon when mom decided she wanted to go out to lunch. i'm not one to turn down a free meal. i only had one drink though, i was driving after all. we went to Ruby Tuesday. it was the first time i have ever been to one, shockingly. i had a pretty damn good Cuban sandwich, so there's a good chance we'll end up going again. about 100% as we have another coupon for it.

i'm hoping to get to bed at a decent hour tonight as Manchester United plays early in the morning. hard to believe another Premier League season is upon us. hopefully the disaster of last season will never happen again in my lifetime.

had a very brief chat with the dream woman today. she's been super fucking busy here lately. i do love the way she manages to life my spirits with just a hello. hopefully i'll get a chance to really talk with her this weekend. that time difference between here and Alaska fucking sucks though.

that's all for me today. i do hope EVERYONE has a great weekend.

be well. be cool. be creative. be quick to send me CASH, panties, love letters, hate mail, broken promises, and old pennies. and be sure to only fuck the ones that cough.

no good deed ever goes unpunished

i worked my ass off yesterday. i warned all of you, i hadn't touched my closet in years. hence, today my mother and i took 5 trash bags full of clothes to this local charity. hopefully someone in the community gets some use out of that stuff. as for me, i believe my back is still hurting from it. so be it.

mom and i had another full day today. had some lunch at a little Lebanese place. i had a coupon for it that of course they weren't honoring any longer. that's my luck. the food was really good. we went to a coin shop trying to sell some old coins that my grandfather for some reason turned into a necklace and key chain. needless to say, i may have to start an eBay account for mom. after that, a trip to the grocery store that wasn't nearly as bad as either one of us thought it was going to be.

now i would love to take a nap. of course, that's not going to happen.

the Yankees got some GREAT pitching yesterday and beat Detroit 1-0. i'm still shocked they won 3 out of 4 from that team. they are getting ready to play Cleveland as i am typing this. hopefully i'll be enjoying another victory beer tonight.

Big Brother last night was awesome. the looks on the faces of the clueless when Zach stayed was great. Jacosta and Hayden were sent to the jury house. hopefully they do another double eviction later in the season.

i've been emailing back and forth with this amazingly beautiful woman i have met on Google+. of course, i have my suspicions as this is my life after all. my luck, i'm being catfished. but, as a writer, you have to welcome the threat of chaos every now and then. of course, i would be beyond fucking happy if this woman is legit and is actually interested in me. talk about the worm turning my friends.

Married and You're the Worst were pretty good last night. FX is just about the best network out there anymore. right up there with Showtime and HBO.

besides the Yankees game tonight, i will probably be watching a little football and maybe some soccer late tonight on the west coast. i also want to write some poems as well tonight. scroll back to the emails and you'll know what i'm planning on writing about.

i'll be back on here tomorrow morning as the Yankees will be playing in the afternoon. they are honoring Paul O'Neill tomorrow. that will be a roller coaster of emotions for me.

be sure all of you check out part 1 and 2 of the latest episode of The Jim Norton Show. the interview with Whitney Cummings was really good. you can find it on vice.com

i do hope everyone has a great weekend.

be well. be creative. be quick to send me cash, panties, or hate mail. be sure to only fuck the ones that cough. and be an entertaining drunk.

slow news day

so i was watching the news this afternoon about the plane crash in the Ukraine. i fell asleep. i woke up to Israel starting a ground operation in the Gaza Strip. except in my mind, it was the same event. so i'm flipping through the channels thinking WW3 is starting. i eventually took a shower to make sure i was really awake.

mom made some really good turkey burgers for lunch. i think she may have sprinkled on some extra tryptophan on them. at least that's what i'm going with for the long nap this afternoon.

i watched Big Brother last night, just to really see how Donny beat Devin in the POV competition. that made me laugh out loud. so, thankfully, Devin will be evicted tonight and i can go back to enjoying the show.

other than Big Brother tonight, i'm going to try the new comedies on FX, Married and You're the Worst. hopefully the previews didn't have all the good parts. i love some good crass humor.

Wilfred was really good last night. i love how they are doing this final season.

The Bridge was creepy as fuck last night. just when i think that show can't get any better, it proves me wrong.

since i'm not a big fan of golf, there really isn't much sports going on today. thankfully, that will change in the next week or so.

amazingly, the humidity held off for another day here. so, the windows are still open.

my mom and sister went in on some hockey tickets for the Columbus Blue Jackets. i think they did a quarter season. all i know is i get to see my beloved New York Rangers twice next season. it's always fun to wear the enemy colors into a building. of course, when the Rangers aren't playing, i'll just be a fan for those games.

i heard a Todd Snider song on the radio yesterday as i was scrubbing the toilets. thankfully, i found the full, uncensored song on iTunes this morning. i've been playing the shit out of it today.

that's pretty much all for me today. hopefully this finds everyone well. and hopefully no one reading this had anyone on that plane today.

i'll sleep when i'm dead...

when you find yourself sweeping the floor at 4 in the morning, i think you have pretty much come to the conclusion that you'll just sleep when you're dead. the fact that i was back up and at it at 8 in the morning simply cements it.

when i hit the post office later today, i'll be mailing 3 poems to Chiron Review. when i hear back from them, i'll pass along the verdict.

the Yankees played like shit again last night, losing 8-3. that's 3 losses in a row that have been UGLY. might be time for a trade or some injection of youth. no point in having kids do good in AAA when they might as well be up in the show. they play again tonight.

in World Cup action yesterday, Spain won 3-0. enjoy the flight home. Netherlands beat Chile 2-0. Mexico beat Croatia 3-1. Brazil won 4-1. that sets up in the knockout round Brazil vs. Chile and Netherlands vs. Mexico. those are 2 juicy games. bring on the weekend.

today, Costa Rica plays England. Italy plays Uruguay in the game of the day. Colombia plays Japan and Greece goes against the Ivory Coast. i'm interested to see how Group C and D shake out.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i thought it did a decent job of setting up the upcoming ppv this Sunday.

tonight, especially if the baseball is as shitty as last night, i'll be watching Deadliest Catch. and then i'll probably watch Tyrant on FX. that channel usually has some damn good shows that i'll take a chance on for at least an episode or two.

if you happen to watch my new YouTube video and like it, please share it. or at the very least, tell me you like it...

if you watch it and don't like it, i'll be even happier that i wasted a minute of your life.

i was on the toilet this morning and looked out the window and saw a deer eating some grass maybe ten feet away. i'll almost miss being able to see that when(ever) we move from here.

not looking forward to another hot ass day here. it's just so damn muggy. hopefully this slow moving cold front gets through here and gives some relief.

got an art idea that i'm going to try to flush out late tonight. probably use some markers and my twisted imagination. if i actually like it (rare), i'll post some pictures.

that's all for me. i hope this finds everyone well. until tomorrow my enemies.

peace and chicken grease...

where does the time go

i was a little shocked last night when the Yankees scored 3 runs in the 9th to beat the Dodgers 3-0. i didn't expect that at all. and as much as i would like to think that could be the start of something, 99% of me knows this season is a lost cause. but i did enjoy the victory beer.

let me peel back the onion a bit and show you what my day has been like. i did the dishes this morning with my back only hurting a little. i have a hard time standing for more than 15 minutes at a time. took my first shit in 48 hours. then, as i was washing my hands and watching the water pressure get weaker, i knew the water filter must be full again. we've been on this month long shit now of having to change the damn filter every 10 days. i then take a shower and get ready to go into to town to mail a book out and get the mail. i stop at the end of the lane, walk across the street and there's no paper. mom later tells me it was there this morning, so i guess some fucker stole the newspaper. i then have my lunch of celery and peanut butter, not because i'm trying to be healthy, but more because i'm too fucking lazy to get some more bread at the store.

hope you enjoyed that...

The Bridge last night was excellent. i really enjoyed the twist at the end that i didn't see coming but really opens up a ton of possibilities now on who the killer is. absolutely the best show on television right now.

tonight i'll be watching Big Brother and Wilfred. i believe i know which person is going home tonight on Big Brother, just not sure if it's the black person the racist HOH wants to leave. i'd love to see it be a tie and she then has to vote out someone.

Wilfred should be the usual hilariousness that i love. i have to hand it to FX. they really have built quite the stable of great shows.

i did catch bits and pieces of the MLS All-Star game last night. from what i saw i don't believe i missed much at all.

no Yankees tonight so i'll probably catch some highlights on the MLB Network as the night goes along. and if i really get desperate, i'll watch some pro wrestling from TNA that i hardly ever watch.

as a bright spot today, i did download some great music on NoiseTrade for FREE. if you are a fan of Lucero, The Black Crowes, Alabama Shakes, Kings of Leon, etc. i urge you to get this music. it's only up for 2 weeks. you can find it by going here:

that's all for today. i'm hoping to mow some grass tomorrow, so i doubt i will blog anything until much later in the day. or, after the Yankees game in San Diego, which means it would be early Saturday morning most likely. until then...

finally able to let the house air out

so i was planning what i was going to write about the Yankees last night and out of nowhere, the fuckers came back and won a game. completely unexpected. blow a 3 run lead, then come back on the second best closer in the American League and win 5-4. that was one victory beer i certainly enjoyed.

the humidity has finally broken here big time. this morning it was 58 degrees. such a relief. this afternoon it's only in the mid 70's. pretty rare when i can open the windows and let the house air out in July.

a little sad news i need to pass on. i do believe my cats Gizmo 2.0 and Phantom of The Opera have died. i haven't seen either in over a month now. i figure the coyotes have struck again. my next worry is my cat Walt Whitman. i haven't seen him in 2 weeks. i have seen plenty of new kittens that are starting to be a little more curious each day. not sure how many of them will actually make it to winter.

tonight is one of those nights where i really wish i had a DVR. all of this is roughly on at the same time. Big Brother will be a bit of a shocker tonight. i would watch it but i will be watching USA vs. Honduras in Gold Cup action. also on at that time will be the Yankees. i might follow that online. then a little Duck Dynasty into The Bridge on FX. those will be on while Mexico is playing in the Gold Cup. i know i'll watch team USA and The Bridge for sure. the other shit will be on commercial breaks i guess.

that's pretty much it for today. i've got some dishes i need to do, 2 newspapers to read and a real long shower to take. the weather is nice but my back is barking like i'm 80 years old. fun.

the radar has all these pretty colors on it

went out shopping with my mother this morning. we got everything and was back home before 1 pm. considering we went to a few places, i was pretty pleased. 1 thing i hate about being in public though is i'm a very observant person, almost to the point of the creepy stare type of guy. when you have a long goatee and do this, you tend to get some looks. some days i enjoy it. when it's 90 fucking degrees out and the humidity is at 95%, i don't.

the Yankees got a complete game from CC last night. unfortunately, the offense thought all they had to do was score 1 run. another loss, 3-1. 3 runs in the last 30 innings. not fun. another game tonight. all i can imagine is more frustration on my end.

thankfully, team USA whipped Belize last night in Gold Cup play 6-1. 3 goals from Wondo in the first half and Landon Donovan became the first American with 50 goals and 50 assists in a career. they next play Cuba on Saturday afternoon.

the New York Rangers signed 2 more of their restricted free agents today. both at really good terms. they might have to do a trade to free up a little more money to sign the remaining 2 they need/should sign.

Deadliest Catch last night was great again. i missed the first little bit of it as my mother and sister arrived back home right as it was starting. i did the good child thing and helped carry in bags and whatnot instead of sitting on my fat ass and watching the show.

as for tv tonight, i may watch Big Brother (even though i know about 95% of what is going to happen). i do hope to watch The Bridge on FX. i have seen many reviews raving about the show. knowing what FX puts out, i imagine it's going to be good.

that all of course will happen if the storms coming doesn't knock out the power or the satellite feed. fingers are crossed.

hope this finds everyone well.

what happens when you can't find the pleasure in the pain

i don't know if it was because i slept wrong or not enough or did something i completely don't remember, but my back and my left ankle have been in tremendous pain today. this is always fun when you don't have anything in the house for the pain other than alcohol. and being trashed by 2 in the afternoon is something i would like to hold off on until i have lost all hope. and believe it or not, i'm not there yet.

the Yankees must have decided winning 1 game was enough last night as they completely mailed in the second game of the doubleheader. that did free up plenty of time for me to watch hockey. more on that later. the Yankees start a series with Tampa tonight which could go a long way in determining if they will still be in shouting distance of first place in the division or one spot from the basement of the division. as you can tell, this season is destroying my nerves.

the hockey game last night reminded me of hockey when i was growing up. 6-5 win in overtime for Chicago. this series has seven games written all over it.

and speaking of game 7, the last game of the NBA season is tonight. i might pay a little more attention to it than i normally do. but not much. and that's because...

Wilfred comes back on FX tonight. one of the few shows that makes me laugh out loud literally.

quick critter update: 1 more raccoon caught. i believe that is all of them. still no sign of the skunk or the groundhog. i figure they either have ran away or the nursing coyote in the back of the property wanted a snack or two.

the Manchester United rumors are heating up. anything i read i take with a grain of salt until i read it on the official website. i'm not exactly thrilled how the schedule for next season starts out. Moyes better have the team firing from the start. many tough fixtures in the beginning. get those out of the way in good shape and another title could be coming.

a quick shout out to the muse. i do hope stress isn't beating you down today.

i did figure out what poems will be going where tomorrow. i figured since i have had a pretty damn good week in the poetry world, i would send them out on a Friday. it's something i normally don't do, but since this has been a superstition busting week, i figured i might as well continue that trend.

i hope this finds everyone well. until tomorrow...

have i mentioned it doesn't rain anymore...

yet another day in the 90's. another fucking heatwave right around the corner. i would love for it to rain. not for the crops, as they are well past being saved, but for the grass. i actually want to be mowing grass and not just weeds. and i'm not one of these assholes out here who continue to mow their lawns each week even though we haven't had a good rain in several months. fucking stupid.

the one thing i didn't think about in this drought until i read it in the paper, the marijuana crop is down this year as well. so, here's a big FUCK YOU to mother nature.

got the rough copy of my book "Sofisticated White Trash" in the mail today. my first full length collection and quite frankly, it's fucking spectacular. can't wait for when it's unleashed upon the world.

was a little shocked with Big Brother last night. not that the coaches were coming into the game, i knew that as soon as i saw who the coaches were, but the whole no evictions and reset of the game was a bit unexpected. i know, i spend way too much time thinking about this shit. it's one of the few guilty pleasures i allow myself.

speaking of last night, i don't know what i laughed at harder. Wilfred ejaculating on Ryan or strippers crying to a song from Night Ranger or a kid filling up a bathtub with diarrhea. i have to hand it to FX. i was in tears nearly the entire hour. fucking great.

Yankees are back in action tonight. hopefully a win streak is in the near future. i might squeeze in a bit of Olympic action tonight but i think most of the night will be devoted to taking the fine tooth comb to the rough copy of my book. a tad bit anal i am.

here comes the weekend

yesterday was my father's 66th birthday. i haven't seen my father since Jan. 23, 1995. by choice, mostly his. that was the day he showed up two days after my 19th birthday and handed me $50 and said sorry i forgot your birthday. i took the money and closed the door in his face. needless to say, July 26 and i aren't good together.

a busy sports weekend awaits. Red Sox vs. Yankees. the start of the Olympics, (if you don't count that Olympic soccer has already been going on for 2 days), the Brickyard 400 and i'm sure i'll try to squeeze in an international friendly or two as well.

in other words, my ass will be glued to the television for the majority of the weekend, let alone the next 3 weeks. i will hopefully only post some positive shit and not as much bitching and moaning as the past 2 weeks.

i'm not really sure why the illusion of America voting is going to somehow stop the coaches from getting in the Big Brother game. no matter what the vote, the coaches are coming in. and once they do, then it should get really interesting.

laughed my ass off last night at Wilfred and Louie. maybe the best hour of comedy on tv. at least FX is one network that knows what it's doing.

thank god i'm not a betting man any longer.

as of sitting down to write this, it's 102 degrees outside. first time this area has hit 100 or more since 1988. spent 10 minutes outside giving the cats more water and felt like i stumbled into the Sahara. holy fuck it's hot.

busy night of tv ahead for me. NBA draft, Yankees vs. White Sox, Wilfred and Louie on FX, might sneek in a view of that turd of a show Duets and god knows what else. as long as the a/c holds up, i'm good.
