senseless...

i didn't sleep well at all last night. when i finally decided to get out of bed and go to the computer, i was totally fucking shocked to read the first thing i saw. when you see a guy you rooted for in college and the NFL is fucking dead at 34 because of road rage, it's fucking numbing to say the least. now as the story has grown, maybe it wasn't road rage after all. that makes it even more senseless. talk about a life cut way too fucking short. i feel for his kids and hopefully his wife wasn't shot too bad in the leg.

for National Poetry Month, i give you:

i heard back from Hobo Camp Review on the poems i sent back in February. they have decided to pass.

ROH was excellent last night. i could watch Dalton Castle wrestle for years and never get bored.

Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night. i did really appreciate at how dirty Russell Crowe was. i'll never think of duck vagina the same way.

congrats to North Dakota on winning the NCAA championship last night in college hockey. hard to believe it's been 16 years.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vinyl, Girls, the series finale of Togetherness, Last Week Tonight, House of Lies, Dice and the season finale of Billions.

the New York Yankees game tonight has been postponed due to the weather. who knew a night game in Detroit in early April might not be a good idea. they are off until Tuesday now. they will be in Toronto.

when i heard that Manchester United was stuck in traffic and the start of the game against Tottenham was being pushed back 30 minutes, i sort of chuckled. that sums up this season perfectly. i thought United played pretty well in the first half against a clearly better team. then for some fucking reason, LVG decided to take off a striker and replace him with Ashley Young, who would be playing out of position. genius move. sadly, United's best defender, who happens to be just 18 (that sums up everything wrong about this team) got injured and had to be subbed out of the game. less than 6 minutes later, Tottenham was up 3-0. this was a game i would have been happy with a draw. instead, it will be a week of when does old fuck face get sacked and who is replacing him. great. i think they have their FA Cup replay sometime this week. it's unlikely they will win at West Ham. if that turns out to be true, the stink of this season will only get worse.

so as you might imagine, this has been a shit day for me.

i hope your Sunday has been better than your Saturday. mine certainly hasn't.

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...

it actually feels like spring today. it's around 70 degrees with hardly any clouds at all. the only problem is the damn wind. at least 20 mph at all times, gusting to over 50 mph. fuck me. i'm waiting for more pieces of the barns to fly off. just great.

the New York Yankees lost last night, 5-4. Tanaka got off to a rough start but settled down to strike out 10. the Yankees wasted that start as it was 3-3 going into the 9th. and this is where it sucks when your closer in on the disabled list. his replacement gives up 2 runs and they could only get 1 in the bottom half of the inning. another series lost. not a good trend to start early in the season. next up is 4 with the fucking Red Sox starting tonight.

also tonight, the New York Rangers play their final home game against Buffalo. hopefully they close out the home schedule with a win.

also tonight is a new episode of The Big Bang Theory. looks like a busy night for the remote control.

i didn't go to the bank today as i spent most of the morning helping my mother. she's having some back problems and as someone with a horrific back, i know how painful that can be. she wants me to go with her to the bank on Saturday. i figured i would play the good son today. of course, it's going to be raining Saturday morning... i suppose i will have to keep my mouth shut with the 'i told you so' when it comes to the weather.

so, today was a few hours of iTunes and porn. interesting as always. as you'll be able to tell below, i was once again all over the fucking map.

i'm officially at the panic stage with my fantasy hockey finals. i'm adding players from teams i absolutely hate in hopes they can help change my fortunes. i just really need one good night or one night where my opponent shits the bed. i have a plan in my mind for the weekend games. of course, another bad night and that will be out the window as well.

i might do some writing tonight as i have some words floating around my brain. i'll keep you posted...

that's all for me today kids. enjoy the insanity below. be well and i'll be back on here sometime tomorrow. maybe after typing up some poems...

peace and chicken grease...
