the purge...

 so, i'm on here way later than i wanted to be, but it is for a very good reason. last night i decided to go through my stack of unpublished poems. granted, i should have done this earlier or better yet, every year, but last night was it. i think i might have retired around 300 poems last night. now, i was hoping it would stir some new poems out of me last night. that didn't happen but at least i won't have years and years of work to wade through to figure out my submissions now. that being said, i will hopefully get some poems out soon.

the New York Rangers lost last night in Montreal, 4-3, in a shootout. at least they woke up soon enough to get a point out of the game.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

i did watch both NFL games yesterday. the Steelers beat Baltimore, 17-10. Houston beat the Colts, 23-19.

AEW Collision was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Curse.

the Dayton Flyers play at home in a few minutes against UMass. hopefully, Dayton will win.

the New Orleans Saints play at home today against Atlanta.

i'm sure i will watch plenty of NFL games today.

i will most likely be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the FA Cup at Wigan.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

La purga

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...

just imagine what i could get done if i could actually sleep more than 4 hours a day...

let's start off today with a little poetry news. i sent out 32 poems this morning. 3 each to Red Eft Review and The Beatnik Cowboy; 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Deuce Coupe, Synchronized Chaos (already accepted for publication) and Ink Pantry; 6 poems to Record Magazine. i also sent out queries to Rusty Truck and Fourth & Sycamore on poems i sent in the last quarter of 2019 that i haven't heard back on. so, when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

mom's appointment with the doctor went well yesterday. she was a little shocked at how nice the new doctor's offices are. they spent $9 Million on the building, so it should be nice. after the appointment, we went to Waffle House for lunch. i listened to our waitress talk about all the guns she likes to shoot. the joys of living in the sticks.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be WWE Backstage and Jeopardy! Greatest of All Time.

i forgot that Manchester United was playing today. thank god i'm not watching as they are losing to Manchester City 3-0 in the first leg of the league cup semi-finals.

the New York Rangers have called up their goalie from the AHL. he's probably the best goalie they have in the organization at the moment. and the guy i do expect to eventually replace The King. so, i'll be pretty interested in the Rangers game tonight at home against Colorado.

Manchester United has scored to make it 3-1 now.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i think mom and i both will have pills to get at the grocery store and i think she wants to do a little shopping.

i have the trash to pickup here and next door and if i want to get that done before it gets dark, i basically have to start now.

so, that's all for me today kids.

until tomorrow...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

somehow my eyes are better this year

the eye doctor even seemed a bit surprised that my vision was actually a little better this year. he was very pleased that both of my eyes are in good shape and pretty much look the same as they did 5 years ago. hopefully, that stays that way, at least for a few more years.

the Golden Globes last night were good, if you could just forget the first hour or so.

the Dayton Flyers took Richmond behind the barn yesterday and beat the shit out of them. Dayton won 72-48. that's an excellent way to start the A10 season.

the New York Rangers continued their awful play yesterday, losing 5-0 to Arizona. i'm starting to wonder if the Lose for Hughes campaign is in full effect.

i did watch a good portion of both NFL playoff games yesterday. so the next round will be the Colts vs. Chiefs, Cowboys vs. Rams, Chargers vs. Patriots and Eagles vs. Saints. hopefully, the Saints will defeat the Eagles, just like in the regular season.

Ray Donovan was pretty good last night. the season finale next week looks like it will be crazy.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. i'll watch Monday Night Raw for most of the night.

the end of the college football season is tonight. Clemson vs. Alabama for the national championship. i'm sure i'll watch a good amount of that as well.

i will be on here tomorrow after mom's doctor's appointment in the afternoon. i think i have to pick up some pills for her tomorrow as well.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

it's good to stay busy when it's really fucking cold

i set out this morning to get the poems out nice and early. little did i know that my stomach had different plans. but, once i got that handled, it was typing time.

i sent out 23 poems today. 3 you might have already seen, as they were published at Dead Snakes. i sent out 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Trailer Park Quarterly, Conduit, and Carcinogenic Poetry. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts. i've sent to a couple new places to me, so i'm hoping for some good news.

mom was busy/sick today, so i did most of the running around. i knew i better get some cat food as i was really low. i managed to get that. i do love how i intimidate people in public. grow a long goatee and watch people think they better not fuck with you. good times.

i had one young cat die on me today. it must have died overnight as i remember it eating yesterday afternoon. the scary thing is it only got to around -5 with the windchill this morning. i'm wondering how many are going to die when it hits -30 with the windchill tonight. i guess i better bring a shovel along with me tomorrow when i go to feed them.

my left arm isn't getting any better. i'm trying my best to not use it much. i know i see the doctor in a few months. my stubborn ass will probably wait until then, or at least until it falls off.

i watched a few college basketball games last night. i took it as a great sign that the same Ole Miss team that Dayton beat almost won at #1 Kentucky last night.

tonight is another crazy night of television for me. first off will be Lucha Underground. i'm really looking forward to that. then, i'm going to give TNA a shot on their new channel. hopefully it won't be a waste of my time. after that, i'll be watching American Horror Story. i'm so happy that is back. but, of course, i have something else i need to watch at the same time. the New York Rangers are out on the west coast tonight and tomorrow. Anaheim should be a good test for the boys. needless to say, i'll be up late tonight. hopefully drinking a victory beer. mostly to stay warm.

i've done my best to make sure none of the fucking pipes freeze tonight. that's the last fucking thing i need with the farm right now. now, hopefully the electricity stays on all evening.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i suppose sometime after dead cat detail.

i hope everyone is warm and enjoying life or perhaps just this moment. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

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...
