tricking the brain into not realizing it should hurt...

it started to rain last night i think. when it did, i was busy destroying my brain by doing as many things as possible at the moment. i was watching wrestling, and porn, and going through poems to send out today. i'd like to think of that as a kind of dirtbag renaissance man, especially since i was also drinking at the time. by the time i fell asleep, my body didn't know it was supposed to be in pain from the rain coming down. of course, waking up this morning and the pain was fucking horrible. this is when i wish i was like a normal person and the rain would actually help me sleep better.

so yeah, i sent out 21 poems today. 3 each to Mad Swirl and Red Eft Review; 5 each to Otoliths, Misfit Magazine and Alien Buddha Press. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

NXT was really good last night.

both episodes of NXT UK were good last night.

205 Live was very good last night.

the Dayton Flyers won last night over Western Michigan, 85-72. Dayton should have won the game by 30 or more, but they refuse to just bury shitty teams. to me, that's on the coach being unable to instill that killer instinct into the team, most likely because the coach doesn't possess it either. it was good to see Josh Cunningham make some damn free throws and Obi Toppin was a ridiculous 11 for 11 from the field last night. the man is a dunking machine.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and WWE Tribute to the Troops.

i did listen to episode 217 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:

i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store. i'm hoping i won't have a fucking scroll to take with me, but i probably will. and i'll probably have to make another trip since i'm going to just go ahead and assume something will be wrong with mom's pills. joy.

i guess i should start wrapping some gifts tonight. if my arthritis isn't winning the war, that will begin tonight. if not, there's always the weekend.

goodbye for now kids...

algunos días, incluso gritar no ayuda

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

making a game out of insomnia...

my subconscious is this evil fucker who loves to see me suffer. i couldn't sleep worth a shit last night. i went to bed around 2 and first saw the clock at 2:30. when i saw the clock again at 3:15, the asshole deep within decided to have fun and make a game out of it. so, i saw the clock about every 10 minutes for the next couple of hours. eventually, around 5:30 i said enough, and turned my fan on in the room. that was enough white noise i guess that i was able to get almost 2 straight hours of sleep. i woke up at 7:30 and remembered i didn't check my email before going to bed. joy.

i had an email this morning from a publisher in England i contacted out of the blue yesterday about possibly doing a chapbook. i figured this would be a way to get my ass in gear if the publisher was interested. he just happens to be interested, so this morning was a bit of a rush getting some poems together for a possible chapbook with Analog Submission Press. i've got 20 poems together and a kick ass title in mind. now, i'm just waiting for the cover art from my good friend and killer artist Janne Karlsson.

i figured out where my next 31 poems will be going for my next round of poetry submissions. hopefully, the chapbook and the poetry submissions will go out sometime this week.

the New York Yankees fell behind early last night to the Mets. the Yankees scored when i wasn't watching, so my superstitious ass didn't watch the game until there was 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th. by that time, the Yankees were up 4-3. and thankfully, they won the game 4-3. they can go for the sweep of the shitty Mets tonight.

Justify did win the Triple Crown yesterday by winning the Belmont Stakes. it did so rather easily, leading the entire damn race.

amazingly, the USA held France to a 1-1 draw yesterday. i couldn't believe how good the kids for the USA did. of course, part of the blame goes on France as well. i don't put much stock in it from their point of view, as i know none of the French players wanted to get injured before the World Cup. but, i'm really proud of the kids that played for the USA as they showed they have a bit of talent at their young age to actually compete at a high level. just imagine what they could be when those 19 year olds are 23 and 24.

ROH was really good last night.

the finale of Patrick Melrose was great last night. any award this series comes up for, they should win. every episode was great.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of Billions, I'm Dying Up Here, Westworld, Succession, Last Week Tonight, Drop the Mic and Total Bellas.

we're supposed to have another rainy day today, so i get the feeling i might spend a good portion of today with ice on my back in the massage chair. good times.

yesterday was a tough day for Debbie. she could use any help you can give. donate by going here:

my sister was here for a little while yesterday. she brought down this tool she has to do her gutters and decided to do mom's gutters, between storms. it's something mom and i should probably get so we can do the gutters ourselves.

that's all for me kids. happy birthday to my first girlfriend, who i still very much love. stay beautiful.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday is even better.

well, the snow started earlier than expected...

i think it started snowing a good 2 hours before the weather assholes on television thought it was going to. i figure that will probably push us into the 6 to 8 inches of snow instead of 2 to 4. so, i think i made the right decision by not going to the basketball game tonight. now, i'm still debating if i should get the mail or just wait until tomorrow. of course, if we get 8 inches of snow, i might be waiting until Sunday. good times.

i wrote 8 poems last night. that brings my total for the month up to 11. i typed the poems up this afternoon. my printer went on strike for a portion of this afternoon. i laughed when i saw the troubleshooting step for me was to just wait. i waited a good 20 minutes and sure enough, the printer started working fine. crazy shit. i do like a few of the poems. i am planning another round of submissions around my birthday. i at least have 1 place in mind to send to for that. i'd love to get in the routine of sending to a place i have never sent to with each round of submissions, but i don't think that's going to happen.

The Big Bang Theory was really funny last night.

Young Sheldon reminded me that i never got into D&D when i was a child.

Life in Pieces was hilarious last night.

Will & Grace was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NJPW and Treehouse Masters.

the Dayton Flyers play at home tonight against VCU. i'd love to see Dayton win as that would be the first time all season they have won 2 games in a row. the game is on ESPN2 tonight.

i figure the rest of the evening will be watching it snow and probably taking a shower.

i'm going to try to be on here before the New York Rangers play tomorrow afternoon against the Islanders.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. hopefully you're somewhere nice and warm, with a drink in your hand.
