i hear there's a football game today...
before i get into bitching and complaining, a little poetry news...
i sent out 13 poems this morning. 3 to Raw Dog Press and 5 each to Street Poet Review and Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.
the Dayton Flyers lost to UMass yesterday 86-82 in double overtime. Dayton had a chance to win in regulation, but the shot was just short. UMass got the benefit in the second overtime of a miracle shot that shouldn't have counted but since the A10 has a shitty television contract, none of the video feeds had the shot that showed the ball still in the player's hands when the clock was at zero. sadly, knowing Dayton, they would have still found a way to lose if the officials would have got the call right. last week the coach forgot to use a timeout. this week, the coach didn't bother to use any substitutions. from halftime to the first minute of the second overtime, the same 5 players played. this makes no fucking sense when UMass is basically down to a 2 man bench. i am stunned at the amount of basketball Anthony Grant seems to have forgotten. of course, he probably knows the school doesn't have the balls to admit their mistake and fire him after this season. this was one of those games that if this team was actually good, it would have left an awful taste in my mouth until the day i died.
the New York Rangers lost last night in Nashville 5-2. they lost two players to concussions on plays that somehow didn't result in penalties on Nashville. what truly pissed me off was the guy the Rangers just got off waivers is supposed to be an enforcer. so you would think he would have started a fight or looked to get some kind of revenge for his teammates. nope. instead the Rangers best young defenseman had to do it. of course, the enforcer last played for Nashville, how convenient. at least this team is now in last place in the division. let the trades start happening please.
i did watch a good portion of the NFL Honors last night. Drew Brees won for clutch player of the year and the New Orleans Saints had both the offensive and defensive rookies of the year.
Saturday Night Live was fucking hilarious last night. i have loved Natalie Portman since she was 13 years old.
Austin City Limits was very good last night.
ROH was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Divorce and Crashing.
i'll probably be watching the Super Bowl for most of the evening. i really don't give a shit who wins the game. at this point, i just hope the fucking commercials are good.
i know my mother wants to watch This Is Us after the game. she's obsessed with that show.
i think Jimmy Fallon is doing a live Tonight Show late tonight. i'll probably watch that.
we did get a little snow overnight. it's a wet and heavy snow. just enough to fuck with the satellite dish. i was able to get out and get the newspaper. so i have zero plans on going back outside today.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday is even better.

when no news is good news
thankfully, my eyes haven't got any worse from the last time i saw the eye doctor. that basically means i don't new glasses. also, the spot on my eye (the spot that kept me from getting any good sleep last night) was the same size as last year. so it might just be pigment after all.
after that good news, mom and i took some stuff back that we bought the other day and then went out to breakfast. it's always nice when you have an attractive waitress with a you sure you don't work in the phone sex industry kind of voice. needless to say, there will be some poems.
speaking of poems, i heard back from Raw Dog Press on my poetry submission from yesterday. they have passed on this batch but have asked me to send more in 2016.
and while we're on the topic of poems, here's the last Flashback Friday of 2015. back in 2007, Zygote in My Coffee put out a chapbook of mine online, The Ramblings of an Agitated Asshole. Brian even paid me for it, which is rare in this world. $15 for 8 poems. good times. here is a link to the poems: http://www.zygoteinmycoffee.com/90s/issue94jjchapbook.html
enjoy.
my mother found out today she has colitis. i guess since she has to really change her diet, mine will be changing as well. hopefully the pills they are putting her on will help her.
The Big Bang Theory was hilarious last night. the preview for next week looks even better. Life in Pieces was great as well last night.
i did ok in fantasy football, although my opponents did better. i did pick the game right last night. i also watched a good portion of the Sacramento Kings last night. while i was happy they won, they certainly could be so much better. though, this play did get me out of my chair:
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
tonight on the DVR will be Undateable, NJPW and The Knick.
the New York Rangers play tonight in Edmonton. i'm really hoping they can get a win tonight as i really could use a victory beer. i will be recording the ceremony for Glen Sather that happens before the game. that should be a nice trip back into my hockey youth.
i did happen to watch that Daft Punk documentary last night on Showtime. i didn't learn anything new but it was a nice 90 minutes back into time for me.
i believe i'm going to go to the grocery store with mom later today. i figure i better go as the late Friday afternoon crowds usually piss her off someway. plus, she has a list from next door as well.
i will most likely be on here tomorrow after the Manchester United game. if they happen to lose again, it may be well after the game when i get back on here. but it will most likely be before i'm out of the house to go see the Dayton Flyers play.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. may the drinks be flowing, the food be cooked perfectly and remember, only fuck the ones that cough.

time to check your mailbox
as my mother used to say in my youth, today i was busier than 9 cats covering up shit in a windstorm. in the morning, i got all of my Christmas cards done. so you lucky ones out there, check your mailbox in the next few days. some of you are getting just a card and some of you are getting much more than just a card.
in the afternoon, i did my last big poetry submission of 2015. i sent out 23 poems today; 5 to Your One Phone Call and 3 each to Pyrokinection, Pink Litter, Napalm and Novocain, Raw Dog Press, Dead Snakes and Mad Swirl. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.
when the Dayton Flyers were behind by 16 points in the first half last night, i was beyond fucking frustrated. but, as i told my mother, at least they can't shoot any worse in the second half. thankfully, they picked up the defensive intensity and imagine that, the shots started to fall. they erased that deficit to beat Vanderbilt on the road 72-67. that will be a HUGE victory come March and tournament selection time. Dayton next plays at home against a very good Chattanooga team.
the New York Rangers fell victim last night to some horrific officiating and some bad puck luck as well. and i know i bitch about refs all the god damn time but last night might have been the worst. the Rangers got fucked over and over by the officials while already down a man. and the shitty thing was it was a really bad call on what a ref thought he saw that gave Vancouver the lead. the Rangers would come back on a penalty shot but would give the lead right back in less than 2 minutes. if i was the coaches, i would simply just erase this tape and forget about the 2-1 loss. the refs played way too big of a role in the game. the Rangers next play in Edmonton on Friday. they will be celebrating Glen Sather that night.
after the games went off, i finally watched my shows. American Horror Story had a few twists and turns i didn't see coming. i can't wait to see where it goes next week. You're The Worst had a great season finale. i was laughing from the start to the finish. and the finish was really good.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Big Bang Theory and Life in Pieces.
i will have to pay some attention to the NFL game tonight. i am already in the playoffs in my NFL.com league. i have qualified for the playoffs in one of my CBS leagues. i have to beat the best team in the league to make it to the playoffs in the other league. good times.
i guess my eye appointment is in the morning tomorrow. so i will have all the details for the blog tomorrow. i'm interested in finding out if the spot on my eye has gotten any larger or not.
i got some FREE music on NoiseTrade today. i will post the links below.
the Sacramento Kings are on national tv tonight so i might give them a view or two. i'd love to actually see them win. that would be nice.
well, i need to vacuum the floors before all the fun starts tonight so that's all for me kids.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

the deadly heat
when i went out to try to kill a squirrel eating on the bird food this morning, i noticed that it was already the air you can wear. this was at 9 in the morning. i can just imagine what it is going to feel like this afternoon when it's supposed to get up into the 90's. thankfully, i will be inside. my best friend Paul is coming over today to watch the Gold Cup game after he gets off of work.
Manchester United won 1-0 last night over Club America. i thought for it being the first friendly of the new season, the team looked good enough. i don't think anyone got injured last night, so that's a plus. Morgan Schneiderlin scored the only goal. LVG said he wants to buy two more players. if they are the right ones, i think this could be a dynamic year for the club.
Treehouse Masters was really good last night. as was NJPW.
the New York Yankees got the second half of the season off to a good start last night, winning 4-3. A-Rod homered in the bottom of the 7th for the difference in the game. this gives the Yankees their biggest lead in the division all season. they play again this afternoon.
i heard back from Raw Dog Press yesterday. they passed on the poems i sent. that ticked me off a bit as i wrote the poems with that press in mind. i'll have to do some hunting to find publishers that want poems that are 7 lines or less.
we actually made it back from the grocery store yesterday before the storms hit. i was shocked.
enjoy some music, some humor, some food and some art you fuckers:
team USA plays a Cuba team today that is missing players. hopefully that means they will win this game "easily" and advance to the semifinals of the Gold Cup.
today is really going to just be trying to beat the heat and hopefully enjoying some victory beers. other than ROH tonight, i have no clue what i'll be watching. most likely i will be helping mom put up stuff around the house. or i'll trick Paul into doing that. probably not.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. enjoy the sun, some drinks, a hot fuck in the air conditioning and maybe a nice cigar afterwards. or maybe a glass of wine. just don't pass out and piss your pants. thankfully, i was alone when that happened. and it was a little more than number 1. let's just say that set of bedding is buried in a dump somewhere now. but, i did figure out that i was lactose intolerant. file this under how The Big Lebowski helped save my life.
once again, enjoy the visual.

what else could go wrong
simply imagine my joy when i'm on the computer and suddenly the internet goes out. add to that the telephone going out as well. thankfully, i wasn't in the middle of typing up poems or watching porn, i was only reading some news. but, you can really imagine how much fun i had when the internet finally came back on, 6 HOURS later. fuck me. i got what shit i could do offline done in the afternoon (bank, post office). and, like usual, once i started doing shit around the house, boom, the fucker comes back on. i learned that trick at the farm. if i ever wanted the phone to ring or someone to knock on the door after i've been waiting for hours, go take a shit. it never fails.
so, once all the updates that didn't happen got over with and i got through the 72 emails i had... today turned into what i wanted it to be... poetry day. i sent out 19 poems today, 5 each to Your One Phone Call and Hiram Poetry Review, 3 each to Dead Snakes, Raw Dog Press and Pink Litter. when i hear back from these places i'll pass along the verdicts.
the light by my computer is dying, so it's sort of like typing in the dark at the moment. good times.
enjoy some music:
Big Brother went as i thought it would last night. i fully expect Jeff to get evicted tonight. as for wrestling, i didn't watch much of ROH. i had already seen it. NXT was really, really good. the main event between Sasha Banks and Charlotte was great:
but the winner of the night for me was Lucha Underground. if you haven't hopped aboard this train, do so NOW. it is shaping up to be an awesome fucking ride:
there was also plenty of funny shit last night as well:
tonight on the DVR will be Big Brother, an incredible episode of Lip Sync Battle that i fear will be one of those things you can't clean from your brain EVER, Married and the new show Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll.
as for now, i'm going to go eat dinner and enjoy what is left of a sunny, hardly any humidity at all, slight breeze, but, as usual, TOO MANY FUCKING LAWNMOWERS running, day. if i had the money, i would turn the whole fucking lawn into a putting green that would NEVER be mowed. the problem is all the elderly fuckers around here play golf and i'm pretty sure someone would peek through my windows and watch me masturbate. much to their horror, that wouldn't make me stop.
enjoy that visual boys and girls, i have more emails to catch up on.

the last good day...
it actually turned out to be pretty warm today. of course, if the weather reports are true (laugh now), today will be the last nice day for the foreseeable future. we are supposed to get some nasty storms come through tonight and tomorrow morning. farmers are scrambling like crazy around this area today trying to get the crops off. the guy who farms out here always plays it cool. i think our crops will be on for the next couple of weeks or so.
i sent out 13 poems today, 3 to Raw Dog Press and 10 to Midnight Lane Boutique. all 13 of these poems were 8 lines or less. that was a bit of a challenge. i feel pretty good about some of the poems. some are ones that have been sitting around for awhile and i figured fuck it, why not. when i hear back from these places, i'll pass along the verdicts.
mom and i went to Perkins for dinner last night. the same Perkins i went to all the time as a teenager. the same Perkins i fingered a former love of my life in the parking lot. the same Perkins where the girl i lost my virginity to used to work at. to say i get a flood of memories when i walk in the place would be an understatement. one thing that has changed was the fucking prices. holy shit, my youth truly is gone. shit i used to get for under $4 is now around $9. damn. after dinner we went to the grocery store. definitely not nearly as crowded as when we go in the daytime. and since it was less crowded, guess who got to bag the groceries. i was impressed that i did it as quickly as i did.
we got back home in time for The Bridge season finale. it went a little different than i was expecting. certainly not as violent as i thought it would be. the only one that died was a guy i didn't think was going to die. not saying it was bad, just different. it did plant a few seeds for season 3, which will hopefully be coming soon.
i might watch some of the NFL game tonight as i have the kicker for the Vikings. of course, one of my fantasy opponents has Green Bay's QB and #2 WR. needless to say, i will be trailing in the game going into Sunday.
other than that, i will probably be watching some college football and who knows what else.
my mom got her new hearing aid today. i'll be interested to see how that works out for her. her last one lasted 2 days before she couldn't stand it anymore.
if you get a chance to download the new mixtape from Childish Gambino, do it. it's damn good.
i was a little shocked when i saw the news this morning that Evel Dick of Big Brother fame has HIV. i truly understand why he left the show the last time he was on it now. hopefully him coming forward will help wake people up once again that HIV is still out there.
well, that's all for me today. i've got toilets to clean and dishes to do. and then, maybe my lazy ass will get outside and take some photos. if that happens, they'll be posted for the blog tomorrow.
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...
