one of those days where i wish i could have slept it away

it's amazing how nice it is to see the sun and some warmth after a month or so of nothing but clouds and rain. of course, a few more weeks of this and i'll be bitching about life as a fat person in the summer. good times.

for National Poetry Month, i give you:

the one thing i have kept in mind while watching Vinyl on HBO this season, i knew the show was going to be over the top most of the time. that's exactly how the creative minds behind it are. so, i wanted to focus on the music more than anything. and the music never disappointed. that is why i really enjoyed the entire series, as well as the finale last night. the one thing i have always liked about the music from the early 70's, you could find a little bit of everything in everything. and most of it still resonates.

the season finale of Girls last night was great. i truly enjoyed the "reality" of it. when you hit your 30's, you don't have friends per se. you barely have pals. it's about finding yourself and trying to find the reality that works for you. the show i think finally found that this season.

House of Lies was pretty funny last night. the show hit a little close to home as i remember when i got fired over a sexual harassment claim. oh the memories.

Last Week Tonight was excellent as always last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and Gotham. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw.

i listened to a hilarious podcast this morning from Sam & Cathy. be prepared to laugh your ass off.

i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade today. i'll post the links below in the music section.

i think i know what poem i'm going to make into a YouTube video and i'm thinking i might do a medley of poems for Soundcloud. something like 3 short ones put together. of course, i could change my mind by tomorrow.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

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...

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

i imagine this is what hell feels like

first off, let me wish a happy birthday to my sister. she turns... like i'm going to say how old a woman is. one of those lessons you learn with time. i hope the wine goes down easy tonight.

another day in September where it feels like it is damn near 100 with all the fucking humidity. this is how hell feels i imagine. just when you should be getting ready to watch the leaves turn and enjoy apple cider, you need extra sunblock and the drinks never stay cold. but, you know, global warming is just some fucking myth.

the New York Yankees fell behind early yesterday, came back, lost the lead and then Greg Bird once again hit a HUGE home run to put the Yankees in the lead for good. a sloppy 8-6 win on a day where the Blue Jays got the shit beat out of them by the Red Sox. the difference is back to down a 1/2 game again. hopefully the Yankees can win again tonight.

Ohio State got off to a great start last night. and then, some mistakes, some db's falling asleep, and sure enough, they are trailing at halftime 17-14. thankfully, the Braxton Miller show started in the second half. he absolutely dominated catching and running the ball. and he had a spin move for the fucking ages last night. i did get a good laugh at halftime when they showed the Virginia Tech QB saying he was alright and it was going to take a hell of a lot more to knock him out. 2 plays later he broke his collarbone. there's a good lesson in karma kids. Ohio State gets their revenge from last season, winning 42-24. they won't really have another challenging game until November.

Monday Night Raw was ok last night. i sort of fast forwarded through all the shit i really didn't care about. this part though did have me laughing my ass off, remembering the Attitude era:

the Stone Cold Podcast after the show was excellent. i laughed for nearly the entire hour:

i got some FREE music on NoiseTrade today. i'll put those links down in the music section. now listen to some other music kids:

and now some of this and that:

tonight on the DVR will be Total Divas, the season finale of Hard Knocks, plus some other shit. i'll most likely be watching the USA take on Brazil tonight in a soccer friendly.

i am going to record the Late Show with Stephen Colbert and somehow work out a schedule to watch both him and Jimmy Fallon. i figure YouTube will play a role in that.

i've got the trash picked up. now i just have to decide when the fuck i'm going to take it down to the curb in this damn heat. i suppose midnight might work best.

got some words rumbling in my mind that will need to hit the paper soon. nothing concrete yet, but i've got a line that if i find the right one to go after it, look the fuck out.

that's all for me today. i hope everyone has recovered from the holiday weekend. if not, i'm sure there is a pill or app for that.

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...
