i more or less feel like a zombie anymore...

i didn't get to sleep until 5 this morning. i woke up a little after 10:30. i ended up eating breakfast at noon. joy.

i typed up the 9 poems i wrote yesterday late last night. i really liked a few of them. i'm over 30 poems for the month now.

i sent out 45 poems today. 3 each to Rusty Truck, Red Eft Review and Mad Swirl; 5 each to Synchronized Chaos, Horror Sleaze Trash (1 poem already published), Word Dish and Misfit Magazine; 6 poems to Record Magazine and 10 poems to Stanzaic Stylings (already rejected). when i hear back from the other places, i will pass along the verdicts.

i finally watched The Case Against Adnan Syed last night. i never listened to the Serial podcast, so i only knew a little about this case before watching the first episode. this does look like it is going to be pretty fascinating to watch.

The Voice was pretty good last night.

Monday Night Raw was a bit crazy last night, but you can tell it's full steam ahead to WrestleMania now.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Smackdown. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i got all the trash picked up before i started the blog, so that is already down to the curb.

the New York Rangers lost last night at Edmonton, 3-2 in OT.

i will probably be on here tomorrow between loads of my laundry.

congrats to Obi Toppin for winning the A10 Rookie of the Year and becoming the first freshman to be on the 1st team all conference in 20 years. hopefully the Dayton Flyers can go on a run and surprise everyone and win the A10 tournament this year. they will play again on Friday night.

that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

insomnia is taking over these days...

for the second or maybe 500th straight night, i found myself swimming down the drain of various rabbit holes on the internet around 3 in the morning. exhaustion doesn't work anymore. alcohol doesn't put me to sleep anymore. i figure if i start mixing pills i'm going to end up like Heath Ledger without the money. what i would give for something like 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep...

Vice News Tonight was very interesting last night. it showed what it is like for a family traveling in China for the Chinese New Year. very, very interesting.

Gotham was fucking great last night.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty funny last night.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny as well last night.

Will & Grace was fucking hilarious last night.

Life in Pieces was very funny last night.

Lip Sync Battle was pretty good last night.

Atlanta was fucking great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NJPW, Real Time with Bill Maher, High Maintenance and the two part season finale of Treehouse Masters.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Calgary. i'll probably check that out during commercials. i'm not expecting them to win tonight.

i did see the New York Yankees win on a walk off home run from Tyler Austin this afternoon. hopefully they are getting into the good habit of winning early this season. the dog days of the baseball season will be here before you know it.

i went to the bank before i went to the grocery store today. the guy in front of me at the back was a skinnier version of me. although, i think my goatee looks much better than his beard, his tattoos were much more elaborate than mine. and i am way too old now to be wearing shorts when it's 40 degrees out.

the grocery store went pretty well. i laugh at the number of women that seem scared of me when i turn down an aisle. of course, i doubt my cheery disposition can make it past this fucking wall.

i'll be on here tomorrow sometime before i go to the Dayton Flyers game in the afternoon. it's the last home game of the season. i'd love to see them win on Senior Day, but i won't be holding my breath. i believe mom is going to try to go to the game. that should be interesting.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

such perfect timing

the ceremony last night that the Dayton Flyers had for Big Steve was really good. they presented his mother with his championship ring from winning the A10 last season. when she started to cry it took everything i had from not weeping. the whole team then gathered around Big Steve's family and hugged each other. Big Steve will always be missed and he will always be a Flyer.

Dayton came out and absolutely dominated Austin Peay from start to finish last night. Charles Cooke scored 31 points, 24 of those came in the first half. you know it's always a successful first game of the season when the walk-ons are playing at the end. Dayton won 96-68. they next play at Alabama on Tuesday.

i got home just in time to turn on the Mexico vs. USA World Cup qualifying game. sure enough, 30 seconds after i turned it on, Mexico scored to take a 2-1 lead. fuck me runnin'. i didn't feel like watching any highlights or figuring out why the USA lost the game. it was their first home qualifying loss in 15 years. i did read about shit this morning though. as usual, the coach out thought himself once again and fucked things up. now, the game in Costa Rica is a MUST for the team. they will be fucked if they don't get a result in the game.

the 2 shows on DirecTV about Butch Walker last night were really good. if you haven't heard of Butch Walker, i highly suggest you seek his music out.

the 2 episodes of NJPW were excellent last night.

Vice News Tonight had another excellent week of reporting.

the season finale of Real Time with Bill Maher was excellent last night. i think he had some excellent points that Democrats truly need to fucking learn if they want to start winning elections again.

i also watched Bert Kreischer's special on Showtime, The Machine. i was laughing my ass off at 4 in the morning. too fucking funny. i highly recommend it.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live, ROH and Austin City Limits.

i had to take a piss sample to the doctor's office this morning and pick up my mother's long term disability paperwork. i'm interested to see what comes back in the piss after a night of drinking.

Ohio State plays at Maryland later this afternoon. hopefully they come back with a victory.

the New York Rangers play tonight out in Calgary. hopefully they can get back on a winning streak.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow before the New Orleans Saints play a huge game at home against Denver.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

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