the rain and all the misery it brings...

it rained all night and most of today. and joy, there's probably another couple of inches coming. as i told my mother this afternoon, all we are missing in this house are the burnt spoons. it's scary that i think she is starting to get all my heroin references. this has been one of those days of pure fucking misery.

i've spent most of the afternoon talking to women from France. i figure it won't be long until i figure out most of them are Russian bots. good times.

i did do a little poetry work this afternoon as well. i know where my next batch of poems are going. more on that in the next few days.

the Dayton Flyers got whipped last night in Saint Louis, 73-60. Saint Louis had lost 4 games in a row coming into it. i think every Dayton fan knew this game was going to be a fist fight. apparently, the coaches and players didn't. Dayton got punked from the start to the finish. it was so damn bad at some points, i just stopped watching completely.

but i never did switch over to listen to that asshole speak for almost 90 minutes.

Smackdown was really good last night.

205 Live was pretty good last night as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Masked Singer, Drop the Mic and You're The Worst. i'll watch NXT and NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Boston. the Rangers made a minor trade today. i'm guessing it will be the first of many.

and of course, it's raining...

it started to rain a little after 1 in the morning. it's still raining, 13 fucking hours later. my arthritis has been bouncing around just having a glorious time all damn day. needless to say, i won't be going to the basketball game tonight, especially since this rain is supposed to turn to snow sometime tonight. oh joy.

Smackdown was excellent last night. i can't wait for the Royal Rumble this Sunday.

205 Live was good last night.

Celebrity Big Brother last night was crazy.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Celebrity Big Brother, The Masked Singer and Drop the Mic. i'll watch NXT UK and NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the Dayton Flyers play George Mason tonight. i don't think the game is on television, unless i want to pay to see it. so, i'll probably just listen on the radio for most of it. i really do hope Dayton wins. if the weather would be better, i'd probably be there tonight.

i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before mom's physical therapy appointment.

the guy that's going to check the windows should be in here in a couple hours. most of the snow has melted from around the house.

hopefully, i will get some sleep tonight and get those damn poems out in the morning.

that's all for me kids.

hello to 2019

so, we ended 2018 with 2.6 inches of rain. joy. the wind was so bad last night, i could hear shit blowing up against the new storm door mom put on the front door. i guess our outdoor thermometer finally kicked the bucket. the wind blew it right off the house.

thankfully, it's not as bad so far today, just sort of gloomy.

so, since Google+ and Google Hangouts are going to go away sometime in 2019, i figured i needed to find a new home. so, you can now find me here: https://mewe.com/i/jjcampbell

i also started up an Instagram account, but i'm not going to post on it until i get a cellphone.

that's the first wave of changes for 2019. there will be others.

the New York Rangers won last night, 2-1 against the Blues. The King absolutely stood on his head last night. that was the only reason the boys won.

team USA defeated Finland last night, 4-1 at the World Juniors. the win gives the USA second place in the group, which means they will play the Czechs in the quarterfinals. Russia defeated Canada yesterday, 2-1. that's why i was really happy with the USA winning last night. they avoid playing Canada until later in the tournament, if at all. the quarterfinals will be played tomorrow. Switzerland vs. Sweden, Finland vs. Canada, Czech Republic vs. USA and Russia vs. Slovakia. all winners advance to the medal rounds.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night, at least what i saw of it.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown.

i do plan on watching some of the Winter Classic today. Boston is taking on Chicago at Notre Dame. i always love the look of the outdoor hockey games.

Ohio State plays Washington today in the Rose Bowl. it will be Urban Meyer's last game as head coach. that's why i can't even imagine Ohio State losing this game.

i'm sure i'll probably watch some other college football games today as well.

i'll probably be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the afternoon. i don't think that game is on television tomorrow.

i hope everyone had a good time last night. i hope your 2019 is off to a great start.

exactly how i thought my Saturday in the rain would start...

we have had over 8 inches of rain in last 20 hours or so. you can imagine my misery. now, toss in 5 rejected poems as well.

i heard back from Mark at Ariel Chart on my poetry submission from last month. i have no problem with having the poems rejected, but the reason he gave made me laugh. he said he was rejecting the poems because of profanity. considering 3 of the poems had no profanity at all... thankfully, now i know of another place to never waste my time on again.

the New York Yankees won last night in Seattle, 4-0. they got some great pitching last night. hopefully, that will continue tonight.

the USMNT lost to Brazil last night, 2-0. considering the USMNT was without their best player, that's not that bad of a job from the kids against the #3 team in the world.

VICE was really good last night.

NJPW was pretty good last night.

the season finale of Random Acts of Flyness was weird as fuck and great last night. i can't wait for season 2.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

Ohio State plays at home this afternoon against Rutgers. hopefully it's another easy victory.

i'm sure i'll probably watch some other college football games today as well.

happy birthday to my sister. she turns... i've learned a long time ago to not mention the age of a woman and i'd like to stay in that will as well.

she should be down here this afternoon. between mom and i, she's going to get plenty for her birthday.

that's all for me kids. i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

gin and my demons had a talk last night...

i wrote 10 poems last night. not a bad way to start off a new month. unfortunately, i had to go to a pretty dark place to write those poems. and not dark like a room with no lights on. it's probably the one thing i wish i could change about my writing process. that being said, i probably wrote the best death poem i have ever written last night. of course, i was in fucking tears while writing it, so i hope it's fucking good. i'm sure those 10 poems will find themselves in submissions this month.

we got 2.1 inches of rain yesterday. i'm sure you can imagine the misery.

the New York Yankees only had 2 hits yesterday. thankfully, that was enough. the Yankees beat the Tigers 2-1. hopefully, they will win the series with a victory this afternoon.

Ohio State whipped Oregon State yesterday, 77-31. i wish the defense would have played a little better but the offense looked like they could score at will. Ohio State faces Rutgers next week.

ALL IN: Zero Hour was excellent last night. i so wanted to be in Chicago for this. unfortunately, i wasn't and i didn't have the money to order the show either. but, the free hour on WGN America was great. and from everything i heard and saw online, the show was amazing as well.

ROH was pretty good last night.

i did flip between a few college football games yesterday. i was pretty happy to see that team up north lose again.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Power, America to Me, Ballers and Insecure.

Manchester United plays today at Burnley. i'd love to think United will win this game but they haven't done enough this season to allow me to think that.

i have no clue what else i may do today. i'm pondering my next moves for SoundCloud and YouTube. who knows, i may actually try to just relax today (i know, i'm laughing at the thought as well).

i'll be on here tomorrow before the Yankees play out in Oakland.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday is even better.

some mornings you wake up and hear jazz...

i was up at 6:30 this morning. on a fucking Saturday. i suppose this is what i get for going to sleep before 2 AM.

i did type up the epic poem i wrote about the muse yesterday. 3 pages became 2 1/2 when typed. i'm not going to try to get this one published. i joked and told her i might just make it into a book. the joke is, that's definitely a possibility.

i woke up this morning with the sound of Coltrane in my head. i'm not sure why. when i fell asleep last night i was listening to Smashing Pumpkins.

the New York Yankees left runners on base in every damn inning last night. they lost to the Mets 7-5. that puts the Yankees 5 1/2 games behind Boston in the division. it would be nice if the Yankees would start to consistently beat the teams they are supposed to in the second half of the season. today would be a good time to start that.

Major League Wrestling was very good last night.

VICE was excellent last night. i doubt many people think of the parts of Syria that are no longer being bombed.

we had 1.5 inches of rain yesterday. my bones are telling me we might get more today. joy.

this might be a Saturday where i throw on some old kung fu movies and just stay in bed.

if i get a wild hair up my ass, i might do a SoundCloud recording for my new chapbook. i have the poem in mind.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. take it easy and then take it again.

time to build the ark

i believe we are well over 2 inches of rain today. that was after some places around here had as much as 4 inches yesterday. oh joy.

i got my ass in gear this morning and decided to get the grocery shopping done before mom had her doctor's appointment. i was able to get everything and keep it under $100, thanks to about $25 in coupons. mom liked that.

i did almost get busted in the grocery store for being a pervert. this beautiful black woman had a summer dress that had both of her shoulders exposed. for some reason, a bare shoulder on a woman is an incredible turn on for me. at least i didn't start to drool.

mom's doctor's appointment went well. i stayed out in the waiting room and wrote. i ended up writing 6 poems, all of which are now typed up. i really, really like a few of them.

Big Brother was really good last night. it was so great to see the shocked faces when Jillian got evicted by a vote of 8-4. the shocked ones thought for sure it was going to be a tie and Cody was going to get to evict Christmas. even better, Paul is the new HOH. god i hope Cody or Jessica get evicted this week.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW.

i believe mom and i are going to go shopping in the morning. i'm very interested to see how she will do out and about with the new hip. she wants to get some new clothes as she has lost weight.

speaking of losing weight, i think i'm down about 30 lbs. now. i still have a long way to go, especially when i'm not really trying to lose the weight. eat less and do more. what a concept.

the New York Yankees start a series tonight at home against Milwaukee. the Yankees could really use a couple victories before the All Star break.

i will probably be on here tomorrow before the USA takes on Panama in the Gold Cup. i'd love to see this young squad do well in this tournament.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. the weather this weekend is supposed to be nice here after the rain finally leaves. i'll fucking believe that when i see it.

more rain, oh joy...

this has been a day full of gloom. more thunderstorms and plenty of fucking rain. i just checked the rain gauge and it was at 2.4 inches. that was just from this morning to about 3 this afternoon.

the New York Yankees lost last night, 3-2 in 11 innings. worse, CC injured his hamstring and will probably have to go on the disabled list. now, the Yankees have plenty of options to replace him, but i don't think any of them are pitching as well as he was. hopefully the Yankees win the series tonight against the Angels.

The Jim Jefferies Show was fucking hilarious last night.

Deadliest Catch was very good last night.

The Putin Interviews, Part 2 were good last night. i did get a chuckle with the shit eating grin on Putin's face when he told Oliver Stone that Russia doesn't mettle in domestic affairs in other countries.

Smackdown was very good last night. i can't wait for this Sunday and all the possibilities of what could happen at Money in the Bank.

205 Live was very good as well last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lucha Underground and The Putin Interviews, Part 3. i'll watch NXT on WWE Network sometime tonight.

when i saw there was a shooting in Alexandria, Virginia today, i jumped on the computer as quick as i could. that is where one of the loves of my life lives. i love how none of the media pointed out this was a white person who did this today. now, i do find some humor in a gun toting liberal targeting Republicans. i wonder if anyone wants to talk about gun control now?

mom's getting closer to getting released from home healthcare. i believe that is when her physical therapy will really kick up. and since she doesn't drive anymore, i will get to play chauffeur once again.

i guess my aunt didn't do so great in surgery yesterday and they had to go back in to do more today. i started wondering this afternoon which assholes are going to be living next to us when she sells that house. i know if it isn't family, i'll probably have to go buy a lawnmower. there's something i was hoping to avoid for the rest of my life.

that's all for me today kids. i either am going to go nap on my bed or try to find the pleasure in the pain and go do the fucking dishes.

so that's what a crisp breeze feels like...

i woke up this morning on the other side of the bed. i guess i'm immune to the pain i feel anymore, but i certainly was tossing and turning all night long. i checked the rain gauge this morning and we had another inch. that's over 2 inches in under 36 hours. misery, my old friend.

mom wanted Taco Bell last night, so i went out in the pouring rain to go get it. part of me believes i'm getting closer to achieving sainthood.

Vice News Tonight was excellent last night. i'm happy that HBO is putting the full episodes up on their YouTube page.

Better Things was fucking hilarious last night. it also reminded me why i stopped going to church.

Fuck, That's Delicious was great last night. the episode ended with the new video from Action Bronson. as soon as i heard the beat, i had to go buy the song.

i'm doing this blog now as i know i'm going to be busy the rest of the day. i need to take a shower, do mom's laundry and go grocery shopping. good times.

more rain, oh goody

we've had over 3.5 inches of rain in the past 48 hours or so. i guess this does help the drought, but i don't live on a farm anymore, so i don't worry about that shit. my thoughts are concerning my arthritis and managing the fucking pain. good times.

mom has an appointment on Thursday for her back. so, hopefully we'll know soon what's up.

the New York Yankees got some great pitching from Chad Green last night and Aaron Judge proved my thoughts on him being the second coming of Dave Winfield might just be correct. the Yankees won 1-0. Green had 11 strikeouts 2 hits and no walks over 6 innings last night. Judge did something that no Yankee had ever done before. 3 games in the big leagues, 3 games with an extra base hit. his double drove in the only run last night. hopefully they can get another win tonight.

Monday Night Raw was rather boring last night, for the most part. i enjoyed Kevin Owens (as always), Brock Lesnar telling Heath Slater he didn't give a shit about his kids and that was about it. i really wish they would have saved Finn Balor's alter ego for SummerSlam. the crowd was quite dead for one of the coolest fucking things going today. i suppose that means Rollins will be winning on Sunday. stupid.

it never fails

at some point every fucking summer, i'll wake up full of snot. such a fucking joy.

we got over an inch of rain yesterday. thankfully, it mostly stopped by the time the shows i wanted to watch came on last night.

the New York Yankees crash to reality continued last night, losing 5-1 to a god awful Tampa team. the owner was at the game, so hopefully his eyes saw what the rest of us already know. SELL, SELL, SELL. hopefully the losing continues tonight.

NJPW was really good last night. next week looks like it's going to be amazing.

Treehouse Masters was great last night. to see a treehouse built like a Frank Lloyd Wright house was amazing to watch. and to have it overlooking a lake was awesome.

so with it raining last night and me being a glutton for punishment, i did my closet project. it's a little more organized. i think i rearranged around 30,000 of the 40,000+ baseball cards i have. i'd love to sell all of them someday. that would certainly give me more room in my closet.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

my laundry is just about halfway done. hopefully i get it done before my sister gets down here. i think she's coming down for the weekend.

tomorrow, my sister and i are (i guess) going to see my father's family. i don't think i've seen them in a "reunion" type setting since the early 90's. so, the rest of today will be getting my mind ready for a mindfuck tomorrow.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. take it easy and then take it again.

nothing like a rainy start to the weekend

today was one of those days where mom pissed me off about 30 minutes or so after i woke up. i simply love some passive aggressive bullshit before i've even taken a shit. but, when she accused me of only hearing what i want to hear so i can make fun of her, that truly pissed me off. here i am 40 years old and i'm dealing with high school like drama. of course, she told me this morning that she was up at 3:30 in the morning and has been up since. now it all makes sense. 40 years of having a woman take her shit out on me without any warning, until after i'm supposed to feel like shit. so, as usual, this has me wondering how much guilt she would have if i happen to kill myself. good times. the plan now is whenever or better yet, if, she gets a new car and the one with 200,000 miles on it gets put in my name, sell off as much shit as i can and just leave. sure, i'll end up dead in New Mexico somewhere, but that would be better than the constant pain and the never ending voice in the back of my head, constantly reminding me that my mother never did shit when i told her that i was molested by my cousin. that's always a fun one to pop into your head when you're telling your mother i love you too.

so, there's a little glimpse of my life. be thankful you aren't me.

the New York Yankees won last night, 4-1 out in Oakland. i guess Girardi wasn't shitting, any fucking chance he can use the big 3 in the bullpen, he will. even when your starter has pitched 6 innings on 61 pitches. but, that's two wins in a row. hopefully they can keep it going tonight.

WWE Smackdown was really good last night. the show ended in complete fucking chaos, which should be a could precursor for the pay per view this weekend, Extreme Rules.

Lip Sync Battle was pretty fucking funny last night.

i did watch some of Cleveland vs. Toronto last night. i will be shocked if the Cavs don't make it to the Finals 12-0.

i did watch a little bit of San Jose vs. St. Louis last night. it looks like San Jose has got the hot goalie, which could mean doom for the Blues. San Jose is up 2-1 now.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight so i'll probably be flipping between baseball, hockey and whatever the fuck else i can find.

the rain has started, so there's also a good chance i just stay in my room, listen to music and see just how depressed i can get.

amazingly, mom and i did go out to lunch today. that was fucking awkward. she tried to make small talk and i basically just went silent for most of it. i stared out the windows, acting like i was thinking of poems. after that, we went to the grocery store. my lunch was better than i expected, so i was in a better mood at the grocery store. but, the rain was getting closer, so i more or less had pain every step i would take in the store. that's fun. at least i got us back home before the damn rain started.

i will be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Crystal Palace in the FA Cup Final. hopefully, i will be drunk and happy to be celebrating a big win for the first time since Sir Alex left the club.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. call if you need bail money or would like to mail me drugs.

as the rain washes away your sanity

for a few hours last night, i thought maybe the haircut didn't work. i was flipping back and forth between the Dayton Flyers and New York Rangers, watching each of them play like shit. it was so bad that at halftime of the basketball game i decided to watch The Muppets rather than the game. quite frankly, The Muppets was better.

the New York Rangers played a great 20 minutes last night. sadly, the games are 60 minutes. they managed to turn a 2-1 lead into a 5-2 loss. for some fucking the reason, the Devils have owned them this season. i really hope those fuckers miss the playoffs.

the Dayton Flyers won what was probably the worst fucking basketball game i have seen in the past decade. it probably set back the sport about 100 years. Dayton won 52-49 in OT. at least the defense showed up last night. the offense must have been somewhere in the lost luggage at the airport. as a guy who was a very good shooter, watching that game was fucking painful. but, at least they fucking won. they play again on Saturday at home. hopefully they will come out like a team that is 22-5 and not a team that is scared to make a mistake.

The Muppets was pretty funny last night.

Total Divas was bat shit crazy, as usual. i never knew Nikki Bella was that fucking weird. but, i did find a gif that makes John Cena look stupid, so i'm happy.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Lucha Underground. i will be watching NXT on WWE Network at some point tonight as well.

mom had the time of her appointment mixed up today. thankfully she called before we had to leave to make sure when it was. it was at 1 PM instead of 11 AM. a little bit of a difference. i took along my pen and little notebook. i think i got a good 8 poems out of it. i'll type those up later tonight most likely.

i was a little pissed when mom told me what went on in her physical therapy session. the therapist disclosed to her that both of her ears are fucked up. so she more or less has Meniere's Disease in both ears. no wonder she feels like she's nuts most days. i'm pissed that the doctor that did her last procedure never told her this. he's the fucker that had it down in her medical record but never told her. so it looks like i will be driving mom around more and more, especially when she has these physical therapy sessions. and i'm also basically going to have to play the asshole and force her to use her cane all the time. good times.

it has been raining here all day long and is getting ready to change over to snow. my aches and pains have now become a splitting headache. hello alcohol. i have heard we are going to get anywhere from 1 to 4 inches of snow. i guess i'll be inside for tomorrow. i should be able to get my laundry done, that's for sure.

i'll be on here tomorrow sometime after Manchester United plays the second leg of the Europa League. they better fucking win.

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 just when i thought this day was going to be nothing but rain

i got up this morning and it was pouring outside. raining cats and dogs as they say. for a second, i thought it was going to get biblical. it's been like that nearly all day. it will pour for 45 minutes or so and then quit. and then start back up 20 minutes later and rain for 90 minutes. we have to be around a couple of inches so far. i've got done a decent job of keeping my adrenaline up for most of the day so i don't even think about how much pain i should be in. but if this shit keeps up, agony will hunt me down this evening.

i was up in time to watch team USA take on Sweden this morning in the World Juniors hockey tournament over in Finland. the boys had all the fucking chances in the world, but when you go 0 for 8 on the power play and can't get any of your 46 shots past the goalie, you're not going to win. the USA lost 1-0. they next play on Wednesday against Switzerland.

that was over in time for me to get my mind ready for Manchester United vs. Chelsea. United hit the post twice in the first half. they missed two glorious chances in the second half. they clearly played better today, but that's 8 fucking games in a row without a win. something has to change.

and just when i thought my day was going to be shit, the New York Yankees came to my rescue. i can't believe they traded for Aroldis Chapman from the Reds. that will give the Yankees one of the nastiest bullpens to ever grace the planet earth. and the best thing is they gave up next to nothing to get him. they kept all their top prospects. thank you for the belated Christmas gift Brian Cashman.

and now some of this and that:

i got pretty much what i wanted out of the New Orleans Saints game yesterday. the Saints won 38-27. Blake Bortles threw 4 touchdowns, which helped me greatly in fantasy football. plus, i do believe it might end up being the last time Drew Brees plays as a Saint at home. so it was nice to see him go out and play like the old Drew Brees.

speaking of fantasy football, while nothing is official yet, i'm pretty damn sure i won both of my championship matches. that will end up being my 7th and 8th championships for fantasy football. i have a 27 point lead in my 5th place game going into tonight in my NFL.com league. my opponent has Denver's quarterback tonight.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Nashville. they are hopefully well rested and ready to go tonight.

i'm interested to see what happens on Monday Night Raw tonight as John Cena makes his return to the show. hopefully he gets his ass kicked again.

as you might imagine, my remote control will be getting a workout tonight flipping between hockey, wrestling and football.

i guess my uncle is back home now. they had to rush him to the hospital yesterday as he was not keeping anything down. they sent back to the nursing home last night once they got all that calmed down. it's all due to him not drinking enough fluids and since he doesn't do that, the side effects to the chemo is even greater. i think the nursing home released him just so they wouldn't have to deal with the family anymore. that being said, i won't be shocked if the phone rings sometime before 6 in the morning in the next few days with some bad news from next door.

i think i'm going to try to stretch out some and ice my back down. this rain just murders me anymore.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. hard to believe that 2015 is almost done.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

leave it to arthritis to ruin the holidays

i was feeling pretty good this afternoon. i just got done watching some wrestling and then it started raining. it's almost like it's a trigger now... my back started to tighten up, my hands started to ache... the whole damn body just wanted to go into a cocoon. it's a damn good thing my mantra is find the pleasure in the pain. i don't suggest that masturbating while in pain is for everyone, but it does have a way of turning the screw so to speak. enjoy the visual.

NXT Takeover: London this afternoon was awesome. i really enjoyed most of the show. i thought the tag team match and the main event were the best ones. plus, anytime you can see Finn Balor come out looking like Jack the Ripper, you know it's going to memorable. it was certainly an excellent way to spend my afternoon.

i guess my uncle is going to be moved to the nursing home right down the street from us. i think the family is having a hard time understanding that he isn't going to be around forever. i don't know if i have ever come across so many people that just are unwilling to accept death as what it is. that there is some cure or hope or whatever the fuck that is going to keep him around forever. quite honestly, it's fucking baffling.

the New York Rangers did just enough to get a win last night. i thought the kids (McIlrath and Skjei) played pretty good. i'd love to see the team keep them both around for the rest of the season. this team needs some youth. a much needed 4-2 win over Edmonton. they go back out on the road next, i believe to Minnesota.

i was happy that Jordan won The Voice last night. he truly has a wonderful voice. plus, to dominate like he has on iTunes all season, he truly deserved to win. that being said, i have no doubt that Emily Ann Roberts will have a much better career in music.

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be American Horror Story.

i will be watching Abby Wambach's final game tonight. as a lover of the sport, it can't be understated what she has meant to Women's soccer in this country.

other than that, i will probably be helping my mother with some more Christmas shit.

hopefully i get to bed at a decent hour tonight. i've been finding myself up at 3 in the morning for the last few nights. that's not fun when you wake up usually before 7 in the morning. i guess i will sleep well when i'm dead.

i hope everyone had a great day. if you didn't, go tell someone else about it.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
