quick update

great job by the Yankees and CC on a big win today.

Manchester United played the kids on defense and i thought they did pretty good. they were shitting their pants when Newcastle cut the lead to 2-1, but they held on. Cleverly and Anderson with the goals.

heard back from The Montucky Review on my poetry submission. a swing and a miss.

mom and sister made it back safe and sound and apparently have brought the humidity from the south with them. lovely.

i'm typing as fast as i can

since the internet has been a little more than spotty today (was out for more than 4 hours during one stretch) my nerves are a bit frayed and i'm a little pissy. got the important shit done though. fantasy football shit and game picks are made. next, poems...

i sent out 23 poems today to the following places:
The Montucky Review
Dead Snakes
The Camel Saloon
Gutter Eloquence Magazine
Underground Voices
Black-Listed Magazine

when i hear back from these places (hopefully with good news) i will post the responses on the blog.

was pleased with how team USA responded last night against Jamaica. i didn't like that they took the foot off the gas once they scored, but they won and got all 3 points. hopefully the wake up call was the only one needed.

i'm just about at the point of giving up on the Yankees. inventing new ways to lose like every other day it seems. thank god the NFL has started or i'd be on suicide watch with how this season has gone. i'm back in the not watching mode, trying anything to see if it can bring a win. i guess body hair is next on the list. great.

music today:

Beck - Odelay
Kristy Lee - In This Room
Trampled By Turtles - Burn For Free
