i'm not waiting 3 hours for a haircut...

i thought for shits and giggles, i would check and see how long the wait was where i normally get my hair cut this morning. when i saw 181 minutes, i laughed out loud. i'm not waiting 3 hours to get a fucking haircut. so, hopefully the demand lessens in the next few days and i can get this monster growing on my head cut.

i wrote 4 poems last night. i typed them up shortly after a quick edit or two on them and really liked what i came up with. those 4 poems also finished up another notebook. i have this traveling case full of every notebook i have ever written in. that's roughly 25 years worth of material there. i figure it might be worth a few nickels when i die one day.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

Basketball County: In The Water was pretty good last night.

Betty was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Joker and ROH.

i did watch a little bit of the Bundesliga this morning. one thing about soccer, when it's two teams i really couldn't give a shit about, i'll fall asleep in no time.

i'll probably watch some of the UFC tonight, mostly because nothing else is on.

i'll probably be on here in the morning tomorrow, if i happen to get some decent sleep tonight. it rained a little today and i think more is on the way given that everyone has been mowing grass today.

i hope everyone has a good Saturday.

until tomorrow kids.

stay healthy.

amazing what one can do with 6 hours of sleep

i woke up about 2 hours later than normal this morning. i looked at the clock and was like holy shit. i think i got almost 6 hours of sleep. and since i was home alone most of the day, i got some shit done. clean the toilets, vacuum the house, feed the birds, put away the dishes, etc... hopefully my mother will be happy.

so the Manchester United bomb scare yesterday was a fake bomb left behind by a private security company from a training exercise. jesus fucking christ. how fucking hard is to count the number of fake bombs you put out and then count again when you are done to know you got them all? so the game will be replayed tomorrow. just great. hopefully no one gets hurt as United plays in the FA Cup final on Saturday.

the New York Yankees won yesterday, 7-5. to take 2 out of 3 from a really hot White Sox team was pretty impressive. it looks like the back of the bullpen could be great, if their arms don't fucking fall off from being used everyday. the boys are on the road in Arizona tonight. hopefully they keep the wins coming.

House of Lies was pretty funny last night. Silicon Valley was hilarious. Veep was really fucking funny, especially considering how much death i've been around in my life. Penny Dreadful was amazing as usual. the ending was a mind fuck of epic proportions. and Last Week Tonight was great as usual.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and Gotham. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw and then some things on WWE Network.

i did watch a little of the playoff game last night between San Jose and St. Louis. the Blues won Game 1 2-1. i could easily see this series going 7 games.

i think the conference finals start in the NBA tonight. if i'm up late, i might try to catch the last 5 minutes or so.

i listened to the latest Sam & Cathy podcast today.

give it a listen by going here: http://notsam.com/srshow/2016/5/16/sam-cathy-011-so-millennial

today was definitely one of those days where i would have loved to go to sleep outside. it felt great out there when i was feeding the birds. hopefully the birds get to the food before the fucking squirrels do.

that's all for me today. i'll be on after the Manchester United game tomorrow.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

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...

been a busy boy today

since i chose to sleep last night instead of typing like a bleary eyed asshole at 3 in the morning, i had plenty of typing to do this morning. i managed to get it all done in a few hours. a little faster than i expected actually. i sent out 21 poems today, 6 to ZYX and 3 each to Pyrokinection, Napalm and Novocain, The Camel Saloon, Dead Snakes, and Pink Litter. a big thank you to A.J. for getting back to me so quickly on my submissions to Pyrokinection and Napalm and Novocain. as an old school fucker in this game, i'm still wrapping my head around submitting some work and finding out in a few hours if it was accepted or not. i suppose the days of mailing them out and waiting for weeks are just about over. i still know a few places that still go the old school way. anywho, when i hear back from the other places, i will pass along the verdicts here.

the sun has managed to appear today. briefly. it's still cold as shit for May, but at least it looks bright and warm. of course, i still have the heat on in the house.

the Yankees got much better pitching last night than i was expecting to win 1-0 over the Mets. hard to believe that was the first 1-0 game in the history of the Subway Series. at least the Yankees got a split this year. tonight's game with the Pirates has been rained out already. so, they are going to play a doubleheader on Sunday. should be interesting to see how they set up the pitching for that.

i spent a good portion of last night playing music educator to a friend. she basically only knows certain kinds of music and artists. so i'm going to have some fun exposing her to the VAST range of music i listen to each day.

the season finale of The Big Bang Theory was interesting. should give the writers plenty of room to move around with the characters for next season.

not sure what i'm going to watch tonight other than Game 7 between the Ducks and the Kings. that should be a fun one to watch.

i probably will not be on here tomorrow until after the Rangers game and maybe even after the horse race. tomorrow looks like wall to wall sports that i give a shit about. between the FA Cup, the Eastern Conference Finals in hockey, The Preakness, baseball, etc... i'll have to carve out a few moments for this blog sometime before the sun goes down.

i do hope everyone has a great weekend. hopefully your weekend has started early and you're in the process of getting hammered as you read this. or maybe i just gave you a great idea.

until tomorrow, peace and chicken grease...

after the morning thunderstorms

i woke up this morning and forgot that team USA was playing Russia in the Hockey World Championships. by the time i remembered the game was over. i searched around for the score and then laughed my ass off. USA wins 8-3. Russia's worst loss in the tournament EVER. fucking beautiful. team USA plays Switzerland in the semi-finals next.

caught a damn squirrel on one of the bird feeders and went out to scare it off and pick back up the one i just know the little fucker knocked down. all of this in a damn thunderstorm. fun.

it's with a little sadness but a true sense of the cold reality of living on a farm that i must come to grips with the likely fact my cats Langston Hughes and Neal Cassady are dead. they have been gone for over 5 weeks with no sight of them. i think it's safe to assume. that brings the cat total down to 14. that doesn't include the kittens i know damn well Whitey and Rita Dove have hidden.

but the sadness was temporary as i noticed a little bit of green poking up from the freshly planted fields. good to see the corn coming up. hopefully we have a really strong crop this year. we need it after the insurance season of last year.

i decided to take some pictures as i noticed it had been a little while. plus, i wanted to figure out how to post them to the new Google+ (which i frankly fucking hate). here are my 3 favorites. you can see the other 15 in the May 16, 2013 album on my Google+ page.

the New York Yankees had one of those nights last night. Phil Hughes couldn't get out of the first inning and you just knew it was going to be an erase from your mind as soon as it is over type of game. the Yankees lost 12-2. at least i was smart enough to start former Yankee Raul Ibanez in the game for my fantasy team. 2 home runs and 6 runs batted in. not bad. also, it was nice to see 2 guys make their major league debuts last night. after reading about these kids for years it's good to see if they really are as good as i have heard about. time will tell. hopefully the Yankees win the series by taking the rubber game tonight.

i'm looking forward to the Rangers vs. Bruins game tonight. should be a good one. i'll spend most of the night fixated on that. i'm sure i'll manage to get in the season finale of The Big Bang Theory and probably some other shit in the intermissions. i'd love to see the Rangers win this series in something less than 7 games.

now, i have plenty of dishes to do and hopefully a little nap to take before the games tonight. hope this finds everyone well. still trying to come up with how i'm going to promote the book tomorrow. toying with the idea of a little art video for one of the shorter poems. not sure yet. the Rangers could lose tonight or someone gets injured and i'll just be in a fuck the world mood tomorrow and won't do shit. most of my YouTube videos have been spur of the moment anyway.

i actually got a compliment on them last night which caught me off guard. always nice to know someone is enjoying it. hopefully many silent people are as well.
