the sun will come back someday i guess

today was yet another cloudy, rainy, gloomy day. perfect for a poet, if that poet wasn't riddled with arthritis.

i did send out 27 poems today; 6 to ZYX, 5 each to Otoliths, Shot Glass Journal and Synchronized Chaos, 3 each to The Beatnik Cowboy and Bluepepper. when i hear back from these places (i've already heard back good news from Synchronized Chaos) i will post the verdicts.

the New York Yankees held on for a 3-2 victory yesterday over Tampa. the Yankees start a series tonight at home against Baltimore. they are 3 1/2 games behind Boston in the division.

Mr. Mercedes was excellent last night.

Big Brother went as i expected last night. Alex was evicted. Paul is the new HOH. i believe he also won the POV, so Christmas will evict the next house guest. that will probably be Kevin. Paul has already said he wants to take Josh to the final 2. hopefully that plan blows up in his face.

You're the Worst was great last night.

Total Bellas was pretty damn funny last night.

Lucha Underground was celebrating its 100th episode last night. i would say about 95 out of the 100 have been excellent.

NXT was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother, The Chris Gethard Show, Better Things and Fuck, That's Delicious Classics.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. you can find that by going here:

i made a little trip over to Meijer today after i went to the post office. i needed some picture frames (on sale) and a few odds and ends and mom was low on Diet Coke (on sale). so, i figure i would get that today while i was out. i know how the drug fiends get when they are going without.

i need to go to the grocery store tomorrow, so i will probably be on here after that.

i believe the fucking sun is supposed to come out tomorrow. it would be nice if the weekend was at least fucking bearable here.

until tomorrow my friends.

yet another dreary day

i thought i was doing everything pretty much correctly. i've cut way down on the amount sugar i put in my body. of course, being a writer, exercise really isn't part of the lifestyle. so when the doctor told me this morning my A1C was the same as last time, i wasn't very happy. so now i get to take another drug with the drug i'm currently taking and i get to stick myself every morning and check my numbers. oh goody. good thing my birthday is coming up. increases the chances of me just drinking myself to death.

i did watch some of both football games yesterday. that Dallas vs. Green Bay game was definitely an instant classic. the conference championship games coming up on Sunday should be good.

Manchester United got a draw with Liverpool yesterday, 1-1. Paul Pogba had a regrettable game, as did much of the United team. thankfully, Zlatan came through once again. i tried to be happy after the game, but honestly, it felt like 2 points lost.

The Young Pope was crazy last night. i'm not sure yet if i'm really going to like the show or not.

Homeland was good last night. it looks like they thought Hillary was going to win as well.

The Affair was excellent last night. i can't wait to see what happens in the next 2 episodes.

day 2 of the WWE UK Championship tournament was fucking great. each match was better than the last one. i was absolutely thrilled with the storytelling and the commentary. the final match between Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate was a classic. and to think that Tyler Bate is only 19 years old. he is definitely the future of the business. hopefully they shoot him to the moon now that they have him as champion.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Young Pope. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening. i might sneak in a little college basketball as well.

so i go back to the doctor in 3 months. hopefully the pill he puts me on works. i know the next time i have to give some more blood samples. fun fun fun. thanks again to my mother for the gift of Type 2 diabetes.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. i know mine could have been so much better.

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

nice of them to issue the flood watch the day before...

when i saw this morning that the national weather service issued a flood watch for tomorrow, i knew they are expecting some holy shit rain to happen. i'm sure it's a case of being safe rather than sorry, or at least i hope it is.

i just watched the USA women's soccer team get knocked out of the Olympics by Sweden in penalty kicks. all i saw of the game was the penalty kicks as i completely forgot the game was on at noon today. oh well, it should be interesting to see what happens to the team now. not a good sign for the first tournament after the heart and soul of your team retires.

the New York Yankees came from behind to win 4-2 last night up in Boston. they took 2 out of 3 in the series, which i think says more about Boston than New York. the amazing thing is the Yankees are now just 3.5 games behind in the wild card race. tonight is A-Rod's last game as a Yankee. they start a series at home against Tampa tonight. it's a bit of a nostalgia weekend as tomorrow the 1996 World Series team will be honored. on Sunday, Mariano Rivera will get his plaque in Monument Park. hard to believe it's been 20 damn years since Charlie Hayes caught that popup.

Big Brother had the chance to be really exciting last night, and then like most of this season, it fizzled. but, after the double eviction that really didn't do much, Victor won HOH again. his plan (really Paul's plan) is to put up Corey and Paulie for eviction. that should do the trick for setting the house on fire.

Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll was excellent last night. i'm so happy none of my former girlfriends ever owned a chainsaw.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Cypress Hill: Live from Austin.

i did listen to the latest episode of Seton Calling today. a great interview with Horatio Sanz. you can check it out by going here:

i will probably watch the USA men's basketball game against Serbia later today.

i finally shaved off most of my beard yesterday. i still have the long goatee but the rest of it hadn't been shaved in over a month. not exactly comfortable in 90+ heat. but, i did nearly pass out in the shower yesterday. all i could think of as i was drying off was if i fall, how long am i actually going to be down there? mom can't help me up. no one in this pseudo retirement community can help me up. so i toughed it out and made it to the fan in my room. good times.

not sure when i'll be on here over the weekend. Manchester United starts their Premier League season on Sunday. the Yankees play day games on both Saturday and Sunday. i'll shoot for the mornings and hopefully you'll live with getting it in the afternoons.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. take it easy and then take it again.
