one busy day...

before i get to the adventure of the bank and Office Depot, a little poetry news first.

i sent out 19 poems today. 3 to The Beatnik Cowboy. 6 to Bindweed Magazine. and 10 poems to Lucidity Poetry Journal. when i hear back from these places, i wll pass along the verdicts.

mom paid me for the month. so, since i was headed in that direction, i figured i would go to Office Depot to pick up a few things. the black woman working at the bank was showing just enough cleavage to allow my brain to go fucking nuts. there will be poems i suppose. i needed to get some new pens, some envelopes and some damn tape at Office Depot. thankfully, mom gave me a gift card and she had some reward dollars that needed to be used. so, 4 pens, 100 envelopes, and 4 rolls of tape ended up costing me $7. that's not bad.

my theory is apparently true. we only have two seasons anymore. cold and fucking hot. we're in the fucking hot stage at the moment.

the New York Yankees lost to Houston yesterday 5-1. hopefully they will get a win tonight. considering who is pitching, i'm not holding my breath.

team USA defeated Bolivia last night 3-0 in a soccer friendly. i loved that the USA played plenty of kids and they seemed to really play well. now, the competition wasn't great, but i don't care about that. i love that the kids will get some confidence and then can test themselves later in the year with better teams. you can see the highlights from the game by going here:

i did watch the NCAA championship in lacrosse yesterday. that's probably the only Memorial Day tradition i actually have.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

John McCain: For Whom The Bell Tolls was excellent last night. i really liked that they showed the moments he fucked up as a politician as well as the good stuff. well worth your time checking out.

here are your highlights from the NHL and NBA playoffs last night:

so it's going to be Cleveland and Golden State in the NBA finals for the 4th straight year. if LeBron wins this one, he might as well declare himself the messiah. it's going to take everything he has to beat the Warriors.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, Deadliest Catch, The Jim Jefferies Show and The Chris Gethard Show. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

no playoff games tonight, so it will just be the Yankees game i will be flipping to during the commercials.

i'll be on here tomorrow after i take the car to the mechanic. just the basic there's 225,000 miles on the vehicle checkups and what not. mom and i shouldn't be there too long. who knows, we might get a bite to eat afterwards.

i need to pick up the trash here and next door, so that's all for me kids.

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...

Happy Memorial Day

i remember when i was younger, Memorial Day actually meant something. now in my 40's, Memorial Day is a reason to buy a new car or a mattress. but, that's what capitalism will do, so i'm not surprised. hell, even the asshole that runs this country made the day about himself. my thank yous to everyone who gave their life to this country. you'd be saddened beyond belief to see what you gave your life for is being used for now. of course, the majority of you would have been the dumb fucks that voted this asshole would-be king into office.

the New York Yankees won yesterday, 3-1 over the Angels. the Yankees start a series with Houston this afternoon.

i did watch the last few minutes of Game 7 last night between Boston and Cleveland. one day the haters of LeBron are going to realize what they actually missed when he is gone from the league.

Westworld was fucking great last night.

Billions was very good last night.

I'm Dying Up Here was excellent last night.

Drop the Mic was pretty funny last night.

Total Bellas was pretty good last night. i do love how awkward a drunk Brie makes things.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be John McCain: For Whom the Bell Tolls. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

the men's national team plays a soccer friendly vs. Bolivia tonight. hopefully the USA wins.

Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final starts tonight. i'll probably watch some of that.

Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals is tonight. the Warriors at the Rockets. i'm kind of hoping Houston wins, mostly because i don't want to see Cleveland vs. Golden State for the fourth year in a row.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. it is hotter than shit here on this Memorial Day. when i went out to get the paper, it was definitely the air you wear. joy.

that's all for me kids. enjoy your holiday.

con suerte, tus recuerdos no se desvanecerán

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