i love random emails

welcome to the 29th day of National Poetry Month. today, i'm shining a light on Melanie Browne. Melanie is easily one of the best female poets going today. i have really enjoyed her work over the years. below you'll find some links. hopefully you find something you like that you want to share and/or BUY. enjoy:

so i got a email from a stranger yesterday. they needed to tell me that what i have written about my father and wanting him dead is disturbing and they wouldn't be buying any of my work. my poetry is nothing but drama, hatred and filth. that part made me smile. i guess my writing is good enough that the point is getting through. i emailed this nobody back and told them i completely understood his position, but if his father didn't have his hands around his neck trying to choke him to death, he has no clue where i'm coming from. sadly, i haven't heard back from him.

i enjoyed the King of the Ring tournament last night. as much as i would have loved to see Neville win it, i'm ok with Bad News Barrett winning. hopefully this finally gives him the push that he's needed for years.

i nailed The Voice last night. mom was coming in giving me the details and i told her who the bottom 3 was going to be 20 minutes before they were announced. what i didn't expect was that the country dude didn't get saved last night. that was a pleasant surprise. now the show will get really interesting.

Undateable last night was fucking hilarious. that show is really great.

the New York Yankees got just enough offense last night and some more great pitching to win 4-2. of course, it wasn't all good news as they had to put Tanaka on the DL with a strained forearm. that's not a good sign for a guy with elbow problems. they go for the sweep this afternoon.

here's something funny and something that may make you puke from last night:

i'm looking forward to NXT tonight and Mick Foley night on the WWE Network. on the DVR tonight will be Lucha Underground.

i did a little poetry work last night. i'm going to do a little more after the baseball game today so i can hopefully get a submission ready for late tonight/early tomorrow.

i tried that Long Island Iced Tea Mix from Bud Light last night. not great, but definitely not as bad as i feared.

that's really all for me today. i may try to sneak off to the bank today as i finally got a check i was waiting for. but, chances are i won't. the way the body is feeling today, it's going to be a struggle to fucking walk, let alone drive anywhere. good times.

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...

and your pro wrestling video of the day:

now it feels like spring

the sun is out, flowers are coming up, caught a skunk eating the cat food, and saw my cat Rita Dove lying on her side in the igloo in one of the stalls. got a little closer and realized she was nursing what looked like 3 kittens that she must have had in the last few days. just great.

i tried to get a picture of the groundhog that lives out here on the farm but the fucker was already gone by the time i got the camera out. but, since i had it out, i figured i might as well take some pictures. below are 2 of the 10 i took. the rest can be seen on my Google+ page.

the only reason i watched the NFL Draft last night was to see how the Manti T'eo bet would play out on the Dan Patrick Show. other than that, it was boring beyond belief.

the New York Yankees had a nice 5-3 come from behind win last night. always nice to win when you start off in a 3-0 hole. home runs from Wells, Cervelli, and Cano do the trick. hopefully this home stand can get them in a groove and right into a better May.

the New York Rangers got off to a great start last night. then pissed it all away. then tied the game late. and then Captain Cally does what every great captain should do. score the winning goal in overtime to clinch a playoff spot. highlights below:

the poet of the day on my Google+ page is Melanie Browne. i have always enjoyed her work when i have come across it. a quick Google search should yield you a few links to her work that are different from the ones on my page.

hope everyone has a great weekend.
