beating insomnia with a wet rubber hose

when i eventually fell asleep last night, i knew i was in for a rough one. mostly i blame the show Tyrant as the ending truly fucked me up. at least i got almost 4 hours and a decent cat nap this afternoon. i know damn well i'm going to be up late again tonight. there's no point in fighting it really, i'll just sleep when i'm dead.

the shows last night were pretty good. WWE Tough Enough had a woman go home for the first time in a few weeks. out of the 6 people that are left, i don't think any of them will become "stars". as for the eliminated people, i guarantee the WWE will sign 2 or 3 of them down the road. Total Divas was pretty funny. Deadliest Catch was pretty interesting last night. to see the reactions of the crews when the Seahawks lost the Super Bowl was some pretty great television. Tyrant had a truly Holy Fuck moment near the ending last night. and seeing that it involved father and son, it sent my mind off in about a trillion directions. the show is now really getting interesting.

enjoy some music kids:

and now laugh motherfucker:

the New York Yankees whipped the last place Red Sox last night, 13-3. the offense is really starting to click. tonight, the Yankees are starting their top pitching prospect, Luis Severino. he's being compared to a young Pedro Martinez. if he turns out to be that, the start of a Hall of Fame career will be tonight. no pressure kid.

also tonight will be part 2 of Ultima Lucha. Lucha Underground is easily the best wrestling on television these days. and from what i have seen, i will be watching this one tonight for years. hopefully the DVR gets all of it recorded. also on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother and ROH. i will catch NXT on the WWE Network sometime before i finally fall asleep tonight.

i think there is some rain on the way. my back and ankles have that "special" feeling going on. good times.

i have spent most of today in my room searching for music on NoiseTrade. i found a few things i really like. i'll put the links to the FREE music down below in the music section.

that's all for me today. i've got words swimming in my head, so i imagine sometime during the insomnia there will be a pen in my hand instead of my penis for a change.

hope everyone currently has a pulse.

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...

the mother of all days

first off, let me wish all the mothers in the world a happy mother's day. to my own mother, who hardly ever reads this blog, a very happy mother's day to you. i hope you enjoy what i got you. it can't be much, mostly because living poets don't make any money.

the rain is supposed to come this afternoon. my body certainly feels like it is going to come sooner. i made sure to get the bird feeders full before anything happens. here at the new house it's becoming a war against the squirrels. that should keep me occupied for awhile.

Manchester United won yesterday 2-1. unfortunately, there was a couple more injuries and the usual lazy start to the second half once again. but, i'll give them credit for getting a late winner. now, if Chelsea can beat Liverpool today, United is guaranteed to finish in the top 4. here are some highlights from the game:

the New York Yankees had their run of good pitching come to an end yesterday, losing 6-2. hopefully, they can win the series today as they play again this afternoon.

i was home alone most of yesterday. you'd think i would have done some writing or painting, catch up on shows, etc. no. i did catch up on some sleep and some porn. and i did find some great music on NoiseTrade. those links will be below in the music section.

ROH was excellent last night. i really enjoyed both matches.

Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night. here's a digital exclusive:

tonight is going to be a crazy one for me. the New York Rangers are in yet another do or die Game 6. they MUST win to force a Game 7. so, most of my attention will be on that one tonight. that means on the DVR will be Veep, Silicon Valley, Last Week Tonight, Nurse Jackie, Happyish, and Penny Dreadful. if the hockey game doesn't go the way i want it to tonight, i'll probably watch all the shows trying to help me forget. if the Rangers win, i'll be way too fucking wired to watch anything. so, my Monday afternoon will be incredibly busy catching up on things.

i hope everyone enjoys the day. be good to your mothers. at the very least, fucking call.

hope everyone is enjoying their 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...
