when the air makes it feel like you are wearing a sweater

summer is back with a vengeance i suppose with how this whole week looks like. humid as fuck. upper 80's to 90's. and i have to mow the grass. everyone wish me luck with my impending heat stroke.

the Yankees managed to snap their 10 game winning streak against Toronto last night. hopefully the team decides that after 13 losses for Phil Hughes, it might be time for him to come out of the rotation. they play again tonight. i imagine i will torture myself, at least until 10.

that's when Hard Knocks comes on HBO. considering this episode will cover a loss and some more cuts to the roster, it should be really good.

Monday Night Raw was excellent. the promo that AJ Lee gave destroying all the divas on Total Divas was perfect. the work of CM Punk, Paul Heyman, and Daniel Bryan continued to be top notch. another night where 3 hours really flew by.

saw a few more cats today when i fed them. i guess there must be a storm coming.

decided i would pass on watching the Champions League today and just listen to music and watch porn. i haven't checked the scores yet to see if i missed anything or not. i will be watching tomorrow though.

i've had the injury bug already hit my fantasy football team. the fucking season hasn't even started yet. not good.

that's pretty much all for today. i think i'm going to hop in the shower and get this damn humidity off of me.

poetry news

typed up the poems i wrote last night. 2 of them are going to be pretty easy to find a home for. the third one, more of a romantic theme, those are really about finding someone on the right day. i'm glad patience is something i'm blessed with.

heard from my publisher on my upcoming book, "Sofisticated White Trash". a lot of cool ideas floating around. i really think this thing will be spectacular.

i also will have broadsides for sale very soon. i have 3 poems (2 broadsides) involved in the 48th Street Press Broadsides 2012 Project. stay tuned for more info. a really incredible list in this project, including John M. Bennett, Leonard Cirino, Mike Daily, Kevin M. Hibshman, Gerald Nicosia, Ben Smith and a slew of others.

thanks for reading. feel free to pass the info along to anyone who may be interested.
