got my ass in gear this morning and sent out poetry to the following places:
Rattle (Poetry Contest)
ZYX
ART:Mag
The Camel Saloon
Horror Sleaze Trash
hopefully the factory put the right poems in the right places. time will tell.
as for tonight, some mindless television. tonight marks the return of Big Brother, one of the few guilty pleasures i allow myself. and after that will be two of the best shows on tv, Wilfred and Louie. some local news, Letterman, Fallon and then Big Brother After Dark on Showtime 2. hopefully this cast doesn't suck. from what i've seen so far, it could be an interesting season. of course, if it sucks, more sleep for me.
music today:
Beck - Guero
AC/DC - The Razors Edge
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
KISS - Destroyer
Pixies - Bossanova
Beastie Boys - Hot Sauce Committee Part Two

i'm back
wanted to come back to this blog and gloat after a Yankee sweep of the Red Sox but sadly they only took 3 of 4. but, anytime the Red Sox can be in last place at the All Star break, i'm a pretty happy boy.
didn't watch much of the home run derby, especially after Robinson Cano put up a big fat ZERO. no need to watch after that.
after a few days of over 100 the heatwave finally fucking broke. nearly 2 weeks of 90+ every damn day broke to only 87 today. of course, we're nearly 9 inches below where we should be for precipitation for the year so far. i get the feeling we would have been better off growing dirt this year. thank god for crop insurance i suppose. and thank god the heatwave was just about broken when the a/c decided to go out.
managed to write 4 poems over the last few days. actually think they are pretty good. want to write another batch before i think of another round of submissions. i'm also toying with the thought of entering this poetry contest i got a postcard about in the mail today.
laundry day today (Monday). also a nice trip to the bank to deposit my rebate check for my health care (thank you Mr. President).
music that sneaked into my ears:
Ana Tijoux - La Bala
Bruce Springsteen - Darkness on the Edge of Town
Tom Waits - Orphans (Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards)
speaking of Tom Waits, great appearance on Letterman tonight. he's going to be on Jimmy Fallon Tuesday night.

where did the sun go?
the sun is out and it is beautiful. a nice cool breeze, hardly any humidity, damn near perfect. i take a quick shower and poof, where did the sun go? dark clouds but no rain. talk about a good day ruined.
took a trip to the bank. glad to see my hometown is still on the downward spiral it started 25 years ago. after a trip to the old house, it was back home to feed the birds.
i really only feed the birds to keep the cats entertained. once in a blue moon they catch one.
i sent 5 poems off to Black-Listed Magazine. hopefully something will stick.
a night of the Yankees, Deadliest Catch, some bullshit with the queen, a little NBA, then Letterman and Jimmy Fallon await me.
selections of music today:
Pixies - Death to the Pixies
Warren Haynes Band - Live at the Moody Theater
