happy birthday to me

i turned 44 today. as usual, i have spent today in pain and working on getting some poems out. i've got my third load of laundry in the washer and i have trash to pick up. joy.

no big plans this evening that i'm aware of. i'll probably be watching the Rangers vs. Islanders game tonight, hoping the Rangers win so i can have a drink on my birthday. hell, maybe even a shot.

i sent out 11 poems this morning; 3 each to Mad Swirl and Yellow Mama; 5 to Misfit Magazine. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

Monday Night Raw had some good moments last night and plenty of moments where i switched the channel.

The New Pope was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be WWE Backstage.

other than the hockey game, i'll probably watch some college basketball tonight as well.

i'm really hoping Derek Jeter will be elected to the baseball hall of fame later today with 100% of the vote.

i still have the trash to pick up here and next door, so that's pretty much it for me kids.

in the music section today, i have my 5 favorite songs of all-time.

i will be on here in the morning tomorrow as my Wednesday is going to be a busy one.

until then kids...

thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes, i do appreciate them.

Han pasado más de 20 años desde que tuve una mujer en mi cumpleaños

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...
