it's always the hard way...

before i go on about Manchester United, a little poetry news first...

i sent out 24 poems today; 3 to Full of Crow, 6 to ZYX and 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Section 8 Magazine and Misfit Magazine. when i hear back from these places i will pass on the verdicts.

i did hear back from Alan at Misfit Magazine. they are in a bit of a holding pattern at the moment and wants me to send again in July.

Manchester United knew all they needed was a draw today to advance to the Europa League final. sadly, that's how they played as well. sometimes they were great but as usual, never clinical. and the rest of the time they simply sat back and gave away chance after chance. thank god Celta Vigo couldn't hit the broadside of a barn for most of the match. now, the red cards late really pissed me off and i do hope that the red card Eric Bailly picked up gets rescinded. i figure it won't, but i can dream i suppose. United will play Ajax in the Europa League final. a win is the only way United can make the Champions League next season.

NXT was really good last night. the upcoming Takeover event in Chicago should be great.

the season finale of Total Divas was actually pretty damn good last night. i think i could watch Lana and Naomi dance forever.

i did watch a little of both Game 7's last night. i was not shocked at all by Washington losing at home and i'm sure the league is happy that Anaheim beat Edmonton.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lip Sync Battle, the season finale of The Big Bang Theory and the season finale of Life in Pieces.

the New York Yankees start a series tonight at home against Houston. this is the weekend they will retire Derek Jeter's number 2.

i have to take mom tomorrow to get her blood work done again for her upcoming surgery.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling podcast today. you can find that by going here:

i think that's all for me today kids as i have dishes to do and dinner to make. joy.

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...

my 5 poems in Section 8 Magazine

my poems "the moonlight", "drawn to the flame", "in the gentle breeze", "unless the rain comes" and "the anger and the agony" have been published at Section 8 Magazine. you can find the poems by going here: https://www.section8magazine.com/the-moonlight/

apparently 2 inches of rain wasn't enough...

the misery i felt last night is being doubled down on today. nothing quite like sitting at a computer for most of the day, typing while feeling all the fucking effects of arthritis. this may be one of those nights where i look at a bottle of vodka and decide it's just me and you babe.

i sent out 22 poems today. 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash and Section 8 Magazine. 3 each to Napalm and Novocain, Pyrokinection, In Between Hangovers and Bluepepper. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

the wrestling last night was great. Lucha Underground was awesome. NXT had a great match between Nakamura and Finn Balor. i'm fully expecting that to be Finn's last match before he gets called up to WWE. i fully expect him to be part of the draft on July 19th. the CWC (Cruiser Weight Classic) was spectacular last night. i loved the pairing of Mauro Ranallo and Daniel Bryan on commentary. the matches were excellent as well. i really think this is going to be one of the best things WWE has done in years.

Big Brother was pretty funny last night. i'm hoping there's a shock vote tonight at the eviction, which should get the house going paranoid. then, it's really Big Brother.

Tyrant was fucking crazy last night. thankfully i was able to catch what i missed when the satellite got knocked out from the storms last night. i'm getting the feeling that this will be the last season of the show. it seems like most FX shows only go for 3 seasons. if it is the last season, they are certainly going out with a bang.

Any Given Wednesday was really interesting last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be WWE Smackdown, Big Brother and Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll.

oh goody, i hear thunder in the distance. so that stuff will be on the DVR, weather permitting.

i guess if the satellite does go out tonight, i'll catch up on some reading. hell, i guess i should do some writing as well, just in case some of those 22 poems i sent out get accepted for publication.

i did catch some highlights from the ESPY awards last night.

i'm sure that made white america a little uncomfortable. good.

that's all for me kids. i hope everyone is enjoying some sunshine and not the fucking rain i'm dealing with at the moment.

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...
