i am a very competitive person. and now that sports gambling is legal, i can put my money where my mouth is. now, i don't have fuck you money to gamble with, but i also stay true to the golden rule... only gamble what you are willing to lose. i did get the national title game last night between Florida and Houston right. i won two different groups on ESPN.com with that bracket. i went 47-16 in the tournament. that is my best record in years. apparently, putting money on it makes me a little more intense on getting shit right. that might be the only thing i worry about with my sports gambling. i am a perfectionist at heart.
a delightful trip into the dark mind of an evil genius or simply the musings of an asshole

opening day...
today is opening day for the New York Yankees. i was hoping to be reporting that the Yankees have signed Aaron Judge before the game, but of course, when you wait to the last minute to do this shit, it hardly ever comes to fruition. so, i'm not going to be shocked when Judge has a monster season and then the Yankees watch him go sign in California for one of those teams. as usual, just fucking stupid. so yeah, hopefully the Yankees get off to a good start and win today against Boston. i'm sure i will watch some of the game and most likely sleep through the rest of it.

just enough rain to ...
when it rains like this, just enough drizzle to make me miserable, i am fucking useless. my bad back and arthritis just grows and grows and grows with pain. fucking miserable.
there was a scene last night in the final episode of Hemingway that really hit home with me. when he said that when he couldn't write anymore, when the words were gone, he would commit suicide, i shed a tear. i have had the exact same conversation with myself for the last 20 years. all in all, just a damn good documentary. i highly recommend it.
the poet of the day for this day of National Poetry Month is Karina Bush. i am very happy to consider her a friend and one of the best poets alive today.

at least the power hasn't gone out
welcome to the 8th day of National Poetry Month. today, i'm shining a bright fucking light on my friend, William Taylor Jr. easily, one of the best poets around and from everything i have heard, one of the kindest souls on earth. here are a few links to help you find and/or BUY some of his work:

and here is a video of the man reading:
the New York Rangers beat the Devils last night 4-2 to win the President's Trophy, which signifies the best record in the NHL for the regular season. they have 2 more games to go and just need 2 points to have the most points in franchise history. here are some highlights from last night:
weather permitting, i will be watching NXT tonight while the DVR will have on The Voice and Lucha Underground. i am interested in seeing who gets voted off The Voice tonight. i'm not sure if there are any real breakout artists this season. but there is PLENTY of really good this season.
had a few laughs last night:
mom finally got her car back today. we brought some more shit over from the farm. the cats didn't look like they were very happy with me. those fuckers should understand they are lucky i feed them at all now.
that's all for me today. i think the Yankees are on, unless it is raining there as well. hopefully, wherever the fuck you are, you are dry. unless you are masturbating, then you'll probably like to be wet.
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...
