it finally started to storm here in the last hour or so. you could feel it building for days. no wonder i have been in pain for the last few days i guess...
i sent out 15 poems today; 5 each to Otoliths, Live Nude Poems and Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.
Axios was excellent last night.
Fuck That's Delicious was hilarious last night.
Songland was very good last night.

i need to pick up the trash, so that's all for me kids.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
i hope everyone is well, still thirsty for the revolution...
fuck the police.

fuck fascism.
black lives matter.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i heard back from Heather at Live Nude Poems on my recent poetry submission. my poems "before giving me the news" and "punish myself for existing" have been accepted for publication.
i heard back from Rusty at Live Nude poems on my poetry submission from back in September. they have decided to pass on the poems.
i also heard back from Arthur at Horror Sleaze Trash on my poetry submission from the other day. my poems "to release the poison again" and "down this bleak path" have been accepted for publication.
i sent out 13 poems tonight. 3 to The Beatnik Cowboy and 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash and Live Nude Poems. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.
i heard back from the fine folks at Live Nude Poems on my poetry submission from November. my poem "a haunting gaze" has been accepted for publication.
we had 4.6 inches of rain last night. thankfully, where our house is, it doesn't really flood much. i went out to check since a sewer drain is right across from our driveway and if it starts backing up, i know where it's going. and i really had no motivation to get in the car and go check all the spots around town where i knew there would be flooding. thankfully, i was drinking last night, so i didn't have as much pain as i should have.
before i get to yesterday's shit, a few poetry updates...
i ended up typing up 7 poems yesterday. those are my first ones for November. i really like a few of them.
i sent out 30 poems today. 6 to Record Magazine, 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Live Nude Poems and Synchronized Chaos (already accepted); and 3 each to Rusty Truck, Mad Swirl and The Beatnik Cowboy. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.
Manchester United lost yesterday at Chelsea 1-0. they now sit 8 points behind Manchester City in the Premier League. hopefully the boys get healthy again and City collapses at some damn point this season.
the New Orleans Saints took care of business yesterday and defeated Tampa Bay 30-10. they are now 6-2 on the season and still in first place. they play at Buffalo next. that won't be easy.
Shameless was great last night. i am so happy the show is back.
SMILF was very good last night. i think this is going to be a show i really love.
Curb Your Enthusiasm was very funny last night.
Vice Principals was crazy last night. the series finale is next week.
Last Week Tonight was great as usual.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Rolling Stone: Stories From the Edge. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Columbus. i'd love to see the Rangers make it 4 wins in a row tonight.
i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow as mom has some blood work to get done and a brain MRI tomorrow afternoon.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i heard back from Rusty at Live Nude Poems on my recent poetry submission. my poem "admire those long legs" has been accepted for publication. it should appear in the next week or so.
i was in bed last night and could hear some loud booms, most likely coming from the apartments behind us. this time of year always reminds me when i lived on the farm and just how much the cats hated the sound of fireworks. every year, i would lose a couple that would just run away. i figure they would end up as a meal for a coyote.
time for some poetry news... i wrote 5 poems last night. wrote them and typed them up in just under 50 minutes. not bad. i really enjoyed the first poems of July. hopefully more are on the way.
i sent out 35 poems today; 4 to The Commonline Journal, 6 to Record Magazine and 5 each to Nerve Cowboy, Horror Sleaze Trash, Synchronized Chaos, Live Nude Poems and Misfit Magazine. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.
the New York Yankees lost yesterday 8-1 to Houston. they come back home tonight to start a series against Toronto. they are sending 5 players to the All Star game this year. hopefully Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez do well in the home run derby.
Germany won the Confederations Cup yesterday over Chile 1-0. considering this was Germany's B team, the entire world should be scared what team Germany is going to send to the World Cup next year.
Big Brother was pretty good last night. i urge everyone that only follows the show on television to check out the live feeds from time to time. they are much more entertaining than what you see on television.
Power was excellent last night.
Last Week Tonight was fucking hilarious as always.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
i don't really have any plans for tomorrow. i think it's supposed to be hot and humid. so, i'll probably do what i do for most holidays... my laundry.
i hope everyone had a great weekend. for those of you whose weekend is extended, hope you enjoy it. for the rest of us, back to the fucking grind.

first off, a little poetry news to get out of the way. i heard back from Live Nude Poems on my poetry submission from last month. they decided to pass on the poems i sent. oh well.
the New York Yankees lost again last night, 5-1. the offense has gone missing the last few days. the game today already got postponed due to rain. they will play a doubleheader tomorrow, with the second game being the game they will retire Derek Jeter's number 2.
VICE was fascinating last night. i remember an old Ron & Fez bit on when the robots learn to think, we as humans are done with. i guess we are at that point now.
NJPW was excellent last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was great as usual last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live and ROH.
since the Yankees aren't playing today, i guess i'll do my laundry and maybe do a little shopping.
i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade last night and this morning. links will be below in the music section.
i only watched a little bit of Nashville vs. Anaheim last night. i doubt i will watch much of Pittsburgh vs. Ottawa tonight. the Rangers loss still stings a bit.
i guess my sister will be down here tonight. well, she'll be getting here tonight. she'll be in town hours before then.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.
i'm going to try to be on here sometime after Manchester United plays a meaningless game tomorrow against Tottenham.

so, i was sitting there in the dermatologist's office, waiting for my mother to get called in, when this stunning blonde walked in. and when i mean stunning, i'm talking holy shit beautiful. and i caught myself looking for a ring, which amazingly she didn't have. of course, mom's name got called a few minutes later. and just my luck, the stunning blonde wasn't still in the waiting room when we were leaving. i'm sure it doesn't help matters that i'm rarely in public anymore unless i'm taking mom to an appointment or doing the grocery shopping. it's a recipe to ensure loneliness that's for sure.
i sent out 15 poems last night, 5 each to Easy Street and Live Nude Poems; 2 to Tuck Magazine (already accepted for publication) and 3 poems to Mad Swirl. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.
the New York Rangers will be facing the Ottawa Senators in the next round of the playoffs. i guess we'll see firsthand who won the trade from the off-season. it should be another tough one, but since the Rangers have the better goalie, i'll go with them.
the other matchups in the playoffs are Pittsburgh vs. Washington, Nashville vs. St. Louis and Edmonton vs. Anaheim. there was 18 OT games in the first round. i wouldn't be surprised if they get close to that number again in the second round. the Rangers series starts on Thursday.
the New York Yankees lost yesterday 2-1. a former pitcher for the team shut them down for most of the game. the Yankees had a chance to win the game late. they never could get a big hit though. shit happens. they start a series in Boston tomorrow night.
Silicon Valley was fucking hilarious last night.
Veep was excellent once again last night.
Last Week Tonight was fucking hilarious last night.
Guerrilla was really good last night. for me, Rory Kinnear is the one stealing the show.
Billions was excellent last night. i especially loved the ending. it's what always drew me to the show to begin with, sexual deviancy.
the finale of Feud: Bette and Joan last night was great. the acting that Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange did on this show was amazing.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Gotham. i will be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
El Clasico yesterday was just that, a classic. the game between Real Madrid and Barcelona had everything you could want in a game. goals, violence, controversy, and a winning goal at the death. such an amazing game.
i just realized that Mother's Day is coming up soon. i guess i better figure out what to get her.
i hope everyone had a great Sunday.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
there's a reason i said that for Dayton, playing at George Washington is like walking into a house of horrors. the Flyers haven't won there since 2009. and sure enough, coming off of a very emotional win over VCU, Dayton was incredibly flat to start the game last night. i believe at one point, GW had made 9 or 10 shots in a row to start the game and Dayton had only 1 field goal. i think the lead got up to 19 a few times. as usual, Dayton fought back, but anyone who has watched Dayton play over the last 20 years knew what was going to happen. sometimes they just dig too big of a fucking hole to climb out of. last night was one of those nights. Dayton lost 87-81. they are still the #1 seed in the A10 tournament, so hopefully they can take care of business in that. they will play the winner of La Salle vs. Davidson on March 10th for their first game in the tournament.
the Dayton women's team won the A10 tournament earlier today by beating Duquesne 70-56. the women won the regular season and the conference tournament. hopefully the men can do the same.
the New York Rangers had their asses handed to them last night by Montreal. the Rangers didn't come close to answering the physical nature that Montreal played with. and that's an easy way to piss me the fuck off. it was embarrassing to watch at times. the Rangers lost 4-1. they play tomorrow night in Tampa Bay, the start of a road trip. thank god they play better on the road.
Saturday Night Live was pretty fucking funny last night. that's the good thing when you have a dumb fuck as president, the comedy writes itself.
ROH was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Little Lies, Girls, Crashing, Last Week Tonight, Homeland, Billions and Feud: Bette & Joan.
i will be watching WWE Fastlane for most of the evening on WWE Network.
the weather was actually nice enough today that i went out and filled all the bird feeders. i figure i better do it now as it's supposed to rain the next 2 days.
if anyone might be interested in some tickets to the First Four this year, shoot me an email. we have some extra tickets that we're looking to sell. if you need more information on the First Four, go here: http://daytonflyers.com/custompages/firstfour/index.html
i got some great FREE music this morning on NoiseTrade. i'll post the link below in the music section.
i heard back from Live Nude Poems on my recent poetry submission. they decided to pass on what i sent. i figure if i get these rejected poems published elsewhere, i'll officially have no clue what they are actually looking for.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday will be even 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.
when i woke up this morning and was in pain, i knew it must have rained overnight. sure enough, i was right. it's rained on and off all day and now the thunder has arrived. i'm not even going to bother to put out the trash tonight as it is supposed to storm all night long. good times.
i was really hoping Monday Night Raw was going to be good last night since they have a ppv this weekend. apparently, someone forgot to tell the writers that they need to have a good show before a ppv. for most of the evening, i was flipping the channels.
Hate Thy Neighbor was really interesting last night. it always amazes me when a racist doesn't believe he is racist. and honestly, i think the only way you can eradicate hatred in this world is to simply get rid of all organized religions.
there were a couple performances i really liked last night on The Voice.
i sent out 10 poems today; 5 each to Live Nude Poems and Horror Sleaze Trash. i will pass along the verdicts when i hear back from them.
on the DVR tonight will be: Vice News Tonight, WWE Smackdown, The Voice and Taboo. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Washington. the Rangers made a trade today, picking up a defenseman from Detroit. they had to give up 2 draft picks for him, but that's better than the 4 picks or players they would have had to give up to get Kevin Shattenkirk. of course, Washington traded for him. hopefully the Rangers will sign him in the summer. as for whom the Rangers got, i really think Brendan Smith is going to help the defense. at least i hope he will.
now they are saying we have the chance for tornadoes tonight. good times. i think the fuckers that do the weather around here knows it is mostly old people that watch the news. they are simply trying to scare the shit out of them most of the time.
that's all for me today kids. i'm going to go back to bed.

the only reason i really write down what poems i send to where is to make sure i don't send the same rejected poems to the same place that rejected them. another thing it does is remind me of the places i don't hear back from. i usually will wait 3 to 6 months before the first query. but, when it gets to over a year, like a few places i've had to query here lately, it becomes this tedious fucking thing to do. i sent out about 6 queries today, some dating back to poetry submissions from 2015. i heard back from Oddball Magazine and Live Nude Poems who both passed on the poems i sent. Rusty Truck asked me to send the poems again, which i did. hopefully i will hear back from Scot this time, as i never heard back from him the first time i sent the poems in the summer of 2015. this is where i wish i had enough money to have someone to do this shit for me.
i went to the bank today. just my luck, they were training new employees. oh goody. i guess since i had a roll of quarters and 2 checks to deposit, the new guy was a bit flustered. what usually takes 2 minutes took about 10. thank god i had nowhere to be.
i got gas for 94 cents a gallon today. that'll work.
i was pretty much able to find everything i was looking for at Menards. i'm really hoping the frame i got works for the Ben Harper poster i have. plus, i got the shelving unit i wanted for the garage and a new household air station. the old one from the farm bit the dust. plus, i got all the cleaning shit mom wanted. all the rebates we had and the gift card my uncle gave me for Christmas knocked everything down to under $40. that was a good trip.
Smackdown was pretty good last night.
i really enjoyed the match between Neville and Cedric Alexander on 205 Live last night.
Taboo was super fucking dark again last night. the show is getting better with each episode.

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Total Divas. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i see the celebrity deaths are starting early again this year.
the New York Rangers play tonight against Philadelphia. i'd love to see them enter the All-Star break with a winning streak.
my sister is coming down here on Friday. i guess that's when all of us will be belatedly celebrating my birthday.
i'll be on here tomorrow probably after Manchester United plays.

i think i fell asleep last night watching the severe weather channel on DirecTV. they usually will just show the local broadcasts from where the storms are. it's somewhat fascinating to see that all local media does the same shit; fear mongering, dire predictions, scare them to death. and you would think in a state like Florida, it wouldn't take much. i am happy that the storm hasn't done nearly the amount of damage they were thinking it would do. hopefully it stays that way.
i watched a good portion of the New York Rangers final preseason game last night. for the first two periods, they were good. sloppy but good. in the third period, the Rangers were god fucking awful. turned a 2-1 lead into a 4-2 loss to Philadelphia. i have no clue who is going to make this team now. considering how AV likes to do it, i figure i'll be pissed at something. their first game is on Oct. 13th.
i did watch a little of the football game last night. i finally got a fantasy defense to do something good for me. and i picked the game right as well. hopefully those are good signs of things to come.
Better Things was really fucking funny last night.
Fuck, That's Delicious was great last night. Copenhagen certainly looks like a town i would enjoy.

team USA plays Cuba down in Havana this afternoon in a soccer friendly. hopefully, the USA wins but what i'm hoping the most for is no injuries. that field looks like a fucking landfill.
i figure i have to go to the grocery store today. and just to fuck with myself, i'm going on a Friday afternoon where it should be busy as hell. good times.
i will probably be on here tomorrow morning since Ohio State plays in the afternoon. more on that big game tomorrow.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. i hope everyone in the path of the hurricane stays safe.
