response from Cajun Mutt Press...

 i heard back from Cajun Mutt Press on my poetry submission from back in February. my poems "mojo nixon" and "this darkened heart of mine" have been accepted for publication in Night Owl Narrative issue #5. my poem "a broken life" has been accepted for publication on the website on May 10th.

burning the candle at both ends...

 my mother tends to forget that i don't go to sleep until i know she is asleep. well, for the past few nights, she has been waking up at 3 in the morning and then again at 4 in the morning. i'm guessing either bad dreams or she is mistaking dreams for reality again; spiders crawling on her, etc. so, last night i basically said fuck it and stayed awake. and when she had her little outburst at 4, i turned the light on in the hallway. she asked if i was still awake and i said of course, i don't go to sleep until someone else decides they want to stay asleep. she didn't even remember herself waking up at 3 AM. so, after a few minutes i could hear her snoring. my cue to actually try to fall asleep. so, i was asleep by 5 AM. up at 8 for no good fucking reason. i eventually got out of bed around 10:30 this morning. mom is sort of awake. hopefully, she will be awake by the time i get her to her doctor's appointment today.

the New York Yankees pissed away a lead last night and lost to Baltimore at home, 9-6. hopefully they will win the series tonight.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night.

AEW Dynamite was pretty good last night.

both episodes of Mayans M.C. last night were excellent.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and NJPW.

Manchester United plays today at home against Chelsea. all United needs is 1 point to clinch a spot in the Champions League next season. hopefully, they will get all 3 points today.

i'm sure i will watch some of the NBA and NHL playoffs tonight.

we had a cold front move through here last night. nothing like the temperature dropping nearly 40 degrees.

i have no clue when i will be on here Friday. i know mom wants to go out shopping. i'm hoping she feels up to doing that after her appointment today. i would love to go to Big Lots and get my hair cut tomorrow.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

cada vez es más difícil encontrar el placer en el dolor

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...
