one way to waste the afternoon

so i saw this morning that i would be able to watch Rio's testimonial this afternoon online for free. so i signed up and watched. Manchester United was dreadful, and by dreadful i'm being kind, in the first half. the second half didn't start much better. now keep in mind they were playing a Sevilla side that played last night! after about 60 minutes, they finally woke up. problem was they were already down 2-0. in the end, Manchester United loses 3-1. i truly hope this isn't how this season is going to go. the Community Shield against Wigan is this Sunday. it can only go up from here, i hope.

Wilfred last night reminded me why i don't do family christmas bullshit.

as for Big Brother, i'm really disappointed that Judd was the second eviction of the night. the females in the house are bound and determined to get all the guys out. the damn show is already at the point of being unfuckingwatchable as it is.

i didn't watch much of the preseason NFL games last night. all i'm interested in is who gets injured. it's getting close to fantasy draft time.

the Yankees are back home tonight against a Detroit team that hasn't lost in 2 weeks. i smell a human sacrifice coming on. of course, if the Yankees have any fucking pride at all, they will at least make these games competitive.

i heard back from my buddy Guntaj at Miracle Magazine on my recent poetry submission. one of my poems have made the first cut so far. i should know in a few weeks if it will be in issue #7. submissions are still open by the way.

today was as muggy as possible. nothing like walking outside to feed the animals and be instantly covered in sweat. and i learned a little something today. groundhogs eat cat food. looks like another phone call to critter control will be coming up soon. the groundhogs are staying in the den the raccoon that was caught was living in. if it's not one thing it's another...

depending how the Yankees game goes tonight, i think i'm going to try to knock out those 3 poems i need to write late tonight. i figure i should be nice and pissed off and need a release...

i do hope everyone has a good weekend.

another one of "those" days

i was feeling pretty good this morning. i was just getting done with some stuff on YouTube when my stomach decided it was going to stage a protest rally. i haven't eaten anything crazy or out of the ordinary here lately, so i have no fucking clue what's going on with me. so, after the rest of the morning on the toilet i decided what better to do than mail out some poems.

i sent out 8 poems this afternoon, 3 to The Camel Saloon and 5 to miracle e-zine. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the news here.

i was hoping the rest of my shipment from amazon.com was going to be in the mail, but of course it wasn't. i know it's at the damn post office, they just haven't worked it yet.

the Yankees are on the west coast this week, so i'm going to have some late nights. the next 2 games are going to be tricky against the Dodgers. i'd be really happy with a split considering they are facing their best pitchers.

also tonight is the season finale of Deadliest Catch. judging from the previews, there's going to be a gruesome injury tonight. i'll definitely have my eyes glued to that before i flip to baseball.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i was in and out of it as it was taped last week so i pretty much knew what was going to happen.

the humidity really picked up today so i finally shut the house up. it looks like it may actually go back to being summer here after this rain works through the area. my luck the grass will grow a foot in the next 3 days.

that's all for today. i've got some floors to vacuum, a long shower to take and maybe a nap.
