i went to bed last night as a wicked light show was going on outside. when i woke up this morning, some 2 inches of rain later, i could tell there was no end in sight. maybe a lull or two, but mother nature is now trying to make up for lost time. great. we're under a flash flood watch until tonight. we've got a few places on the farm that like to flood, sadly most of them being where there are soybeans are right now. hopefully we don't have much damage from that.
shockingly, our cellar is mostly dry. i had to go change all the water filters this afternoon. of course, if i would have thought about it, i would have done it before all the rain came.
the Yankees got a win yesterday, 3-0. amazing what some great pitching can do for a team. sadly, the offense still stinks as those 3 runs came in 1 inning. the game was over in a little over 2 hours. hopefully they can get a win tonight against the White Sox and start a winning streak.
Big Brother went as i expected last night. sadly, Zach didn't make it back into the house, Nicole did. i'm not happy with who won the HOH last night. oh well, as long as Frankie doesn't win it all, i'll be happy.
Married was really good last night. You're the Worst had me howling as well. and in commercials, i flipped over to The Simpsons marathon on FXX.
after i get done with this i get to go to the grocery store with my mother. mostly, it becomes a mission of making sure she doesn't have an accident and my favorite pastime, people watching. always a good thing for a poet to do.
other than some baseball tonight, i imagine i'll flip over to some preseason football and probably whatever is on the Food Network. of course, if the storms come back for another round tonight, i might not be watching anything.
that's pretty much all for me today. hope everyone has a great weekend. thanks for allowing me the chance to waste 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.
peace and chicken grease my enemies...

bring on the pain
when i hear rain on the metal roof of the house when i'm falling asleep, i know i'm going to at least get a few hours. when i hear it when i first wake up in the morning, i know a day of misery is ahead of me. but, bring on the pain as the crops are desperate for a good drink. so far, it's been a slow drizzle with a little thunder. as long as it doesn't get crazy, this is exactly what the crops need today.
the Yankees fell behind last night, took the lead, and then, yes, you guessed it, pissed away another game against Houston, 5-2. this team plays down to its competition and has paid for it all season long. they play early this afternoon. hopefully the game puts me to sleep or the satellite feed goes out.
Big Brother was pretty good last night. sadly, it looks like Zach is going to get the boot tonight. but, hopefully in the latest twist, he comes back into the house right after eviction. if not, all i hope is that somehow that fucking sociopath Frankie doesn't win.
Brew Dogs was really good last night. they made a beer in New Orleans. i really need to get to that town at some point in my life. although, chances are, i won't leave.
The Bridge was spectacular last night. this season isn't as good as the first one was but it is as close as you can get to being as good. i love the small world feel as the characters are getting closer and closer to being intertwined. i can't wait for next week.
also tonight, i'll be watching Married and You're The Worst on FX.
the New York Rangers surprised me yesterday by winning the Kevin Hayes sweepstakes. he should fit in quite nicely with how AV wants the guys to play.
i figure i might flip over to FXX sometime in the next 12 days for The Simpsons marathon. that's one of the myriad of shows that i never really got into over my 38 years on earth.
that's all for today kids. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

the stages of grief
my mother surprised me today by deciding that she wanted to blow off the afternoon and go out to lunch. and then i happened to remember what day it was. today marks 12 years since my stepfather has passed on. i figured i better be on my best behavior as this day is very hard on her. we had a good lunch, though the place we wanted to go to was crowded as hell. so, we stopped by the sports bar we seem to be going to more often these days. they weren't that crowded but had only 3 waitresses working. damn good thing i was blessed with patience. after that, we did a little grocery shopping and came back home. i'm trying to give her some space as i fully understand there is no timetable or rules to the grieving process.
the Dayton Flyers fell into the same fucking hole they have fallen into so many times this season. once again starting a game with their heads completely up their fucking asses. the only difference this time, they picked the wrong team to fall behind. St. Joe's beat the living shit out of Dayton last night, 79-53. and quite honestly, it never felt like the game was that close. honestly, i didn't watch much after the 8 minute mark of the first half. and i doubt i missed much at all. they play Saturday at home in a MUST win game. i'd like to go and try my neck out at the game. all depends on the weather and how i'm doing. stay tuned.
so, by not watching basketball last night i did watch all of The Voice. i felt like the talent on night 2 was better than night 1. i don't have a favorite yet, though i do enjoy the chemistry between these 4 coaches much better than the original 4 coaches.
as for tonight, i have a couple of shows on FXX i want to watch, Legit and Ali G Rezurection. those both look funny as hell. i imagine i might squeeze in some Duck Dynasty, but if i can't find the time i won't be crestfallen. and as always, a little hockey and maybe some basketball. fantasy hockey is back in full swing, so i have to be on the ball for the push to the playoffs.
after i got home from the grocery store, i sent out 9 poems. 3 each to The Camel Saloon, Dead Snakes, and Pyrokinection. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.
my disjointed sleep continues. after i took a shower last night i sat down in my chair to watch the news. next thing i know, it's 2:30 in the morning. so, i made a quick trip to YouTube to see what i missed. this looks like the only thing i really should have stayed up for:
i laughed my ass off at that.
that's all for me today. i hope this finds everyone well. until tomorrow bitches...
