the sky opened up and...
we had a quick thunderstorm move through today right as i was getting ready to feed the cats. needless to say, i waited. and waited. we might have got close to an inch in less than 30 minutes. thankfully, the changes we made out here have worked. the drainage is light years better than what it was.
as for the cats, Whitey showed up today. i didn't see any visual signs of a fight or anything, so i have no clue where she was. but, she was really nice today, so i figure she was off doing some evil shit. my cat Tolstoy was a no show once again. i've got a bad feeling about that one, which would suck, as Tolstoy was definitely a cat that wasn't scared of anything. that probably was the downfall as well.
i sent out 13 poems today; 3 to Dead Snakes and 5 each to BoySlut and Gutter Eloquence Magazine. when i hear back from these places i'll pass along the news here on the blog.
i got the first batch of illustrations from the artist in Sweden. let's just say i haven't been this excited for a project in some time. they are fucking amazing. i will hopefully get to share them soon. in the meantime, check out Janne Karlsson at his site:

The Bridge last night was a slow burn. but the last 10 minutes got me really interested to see what happens next week.
after that ended, i turned over just in time to watch Mo blow the save for the Yankees. i then tortured myself and watched the rest of the game. Cano homered in the top of the 12th but these are the 2013 Yankees, a team that has snatched defeat from the clutches of victory more times than i can remember. so, of course, with only needing 1 out to win once again, the Yankees give up 3 straight hits to lose 6-5. as a die-hard, i'm not allowed to utter that the season is over. but...
i was hoping to watch the double eviction on Big Brother tonight but the assholes here in Dayton will be showing the Cleveland Browns preseason game. and i'm not waiting up until 2 am to see what happens. so, for a good portion of tonight, i'll be on the computer looking at twitter.
Wilfred looks like another great one tonight. hopefully it will make me laugh as it always does.
i had the pleasure of stumbling upon the LinkedIn profile of the friend that got me into this whole poetry world back when i was 16 today. we haven't had the opportunity to speak to each other in over a decade. so, i really hope to hear from him soon.
that's all for today. i need to get a shower in and get the brain buzzing about 3 poems i need to write this weekend.
music:
Ministry - Psalm 69
Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell

Korn - Issues

starting the month off right
i was hoping to start February much better than my January ended with the New York Rangers playing like absolute shit last night and the very public ending of one of the best friendships of my life.
with that being said, i woke up freezing this morning as i must have tossed and turned all night long and the covers were nowhere near me. and seeing that the wind chill was somewhere around -10 (hard to believe it was damn near 60 a few days ago), i knew this was going to be one of those days.
didn't see many cats when i fed them this morning. hopefully they were either hiding or had started hunting, as the sun was out, and weren't waiting on my fat ass to get out there to feed them. put out a good amount of bird food as well seeing that we're supposed to get another 2 or 3 inches of snow tomorrow.
i totally enjoyed Super Bowl week on The Dan Patrick Show. in my mind, it is absolutely the best sports show on tv or radio. nothing else is close. as for the Super Bowl itself, i really couldn't give a shit who wins. if i have to root for someone, i'll pick the 49ers only because i wouldn't mind seeing Ray Lewis' last game be a loss.
sent out some poems today to Jeremy Benson and Gutter Eloquence Magazine. the poem i sent to Jeremy has already been accepted for publication. hard to imagine how far all this shit has come when i think back to when i first started sending poems out in the 90's. from stamps and waiting for weeks to hitting send and a few hours later. now i really sound like some old fucker thinking about the good ole days. not that they were really that good to begin with.
back to sports for a second. saw the Yankees signed Travis Hafner today. if he is healthy, i really don't mind this signing. he should be able to provide some power the team has lost due to injury or free agents leaving. of course, it will take a minor miracle for him to stay healthy for the entire season.
not exactly sure what i'm going to be doing tonight. maybe some hockey on tv. maybe something else, not really sure. i do know after i get done with this i have some toilets to clean and a bathroom floor to swiffer. that should be fun with my bad back.
music today:
John Lee Hooker - The Best of Friends
Alicia Keys - The Diary of Alicia Keys
Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit - Live from Alabama

i'm typing as fast as i can
since the internet has been a little more than spotty today (was out for more than 4 hours during one stretch) my nerves are a bit frayed and i'm a little pissy. got the important shit done though. fantasy football shit and game picks are made. next, poems...
i sent out 23 poems today to the following places:
The Montucky Review
Dead Snakes
The Camel Saloon
Gutter Eloquence Magazine
Underground Voices
Black-Listed Magazine
when i hear back from these places (hopefully with good news) i will post the responses on the blog.
was pleased with how team USA responded last night against Jamaica. i didn't like that they took the foot off the gas once they scored, but they won and got all 3 points. hopefully the wake up call was the only one needed.
i'm just about at the point of giving up on the Yankees. inventing new ways to lose like every other day it seems. thank god the NFL has started or i'd be on suicide watch with how this season has gone. i'm back in the not watching mode, trying anything to see if it can bring a win. i guess body hair is next on the list. great.
music today:
Beck - Odelay
Kristy Lee - In This Room
Trampled By Turtles - Burn For Free
Bruce Springsteen - Darkness on the Edge of Town
Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam
Paul Thorn - What the Hell is Goin' On?
