today is the day...

 so, today is the last day of the baseball regular season. amazingly, there is still shit to be won before the playoffs start. now, the Yankees magic number is still at 1. Tampa killed them yesterday, 12-2. since Boston won yesterday, the Yankees now sit in second place in the wild card standings. there is still a chance that Boston, New York, Seattle and Toronto all finish with the same record. i highly doubt that will happen, though i do believe the Yankees will lose today and have to face Seattle or Toronto tomorrow to see who gets to go to Boston for the wild card game.

Ohio State whipped Rutgers yesterday, 52-13. they play Maryland next.

the New York Rangers won last night in Boston, 4-3 in OT. considering who the Rangers didn't have in their lineup, this was a very encouraging result.

i did catch a good amount of Notre Dame vs. Cincinnati yesterday. probably the biggest win for UC ever.

Saturday Night Live was pretty good last night.

ROH was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Axios, Scenes From a Marriage, Last Week Tonight, BMF, Heels, the season finale of Billions and American Rust.

the New Orleans Saints play at home today against the New York Giants. considering this will be the Saints first game at home in front of fans in years, i expect the fans to be absolutely crazy today.

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

i have no clue when i will be on here on Monday. 

until then...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the shot.

Puedo sentir la lluvia entrando en estos viejos huesos

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 your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

time for playoff baseball

i am really looking forward to seeing how the New York Yankees do in the wild card game tonight. they have so many young guys who haven't played in the playoffs before, i'm wondering if they take advantage of the opportunity or does the moment swallow them whole? hopefully the Yankees beat the Twins tonight as i would love to see them throw a damn wrench in the plans of the Cleveland Indians.

i wrote 3 poems this afternoon. i haven't typed them up yet, mostly because i'm hoping there are more to come. i did figure out where my next 11 poems are going to. i'll most likely send those out tomorrow morning.

Monday Night Raw was ok last night. it's hard to say a show was good when the best part of it was right when it was going off of the air. i can't wait to see The Shield back together next week.

The Big Bang Theory was really funny last night.

The Voice was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Voice, The Jim Jefferies Show and American Horror Story. i'll watch 205 Live on WWE Network sometime tonight.

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

the trip to the bank was rather boring today.

i need to do the dishes and pick up the trash, so that's all for me today kids.

¿cuántas personas tienen que morir antes de creer que debe haber un cambio?

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 your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

one of those days where the rain feels like i'm stuck in Florida

it absolutely poured today, on and off. and it was around 80 degrees with humidity around 90%. felt just like the rain in Florida. not exactly the best thing when you're hoping for some dry days to take the corn off and paint the barns. i wouldn't be shocked if we got close to 2 inches today.

i had an interesting day of waiting. waiting for the plumber, waiting for the Fed Ex guy. it's kind of funny, as i remember when i lived out here alone. whenever i wanted someone to call or show up, i always did something else. i'd take a shower and the phone would ring. take a shit and there's a knock on the door. no such luck today.

the plumber showed up around 2 to see what the fuck is up with our water softener. i laughed as none of the shit he brought with him actually worked, so he took a sample of the water and will return sometime. didn't say when, but this is all under warranty, so i don't really care.

the Fed Ex guy finally showed up around 5 with my wine. so i'm enjoying a glass of red while typing this. should be interesting to see how quickly i drink this. i'm not a big wine drinker but just felt i needed to upgrade my alcoholism finally. so expect some ramblings about wine every now and then.

i got a closer look at my cat Michael Jackson last night. looked like a young coyote got him on his right side and has rendered his hind legs useless. i noticed this as the dumb ass was trying to climb underneath my truck. last i saw him he was going under the corn crib. i didn't see him when i fed them today, so i figure he has probably moved on. hopefully no longer in pain.

The Bridge last night was good. it didn't answer many questions but brought forth some more. and a few more twists and a huge plot point for the next season. which will come in 2014.

Duck Dynasty made me laugh, as always.

the New York Rangers play late tonight out in Arizona. hopefully they start the season off good. also, there is some playoff baseball and the NFL this evening. so, after The Big Bang Theory it will be nothing but sports.

hopefully i will get cracking on sending out some poems tomorrow. i don't always like a Friday submissions but i really don't feel like waiting until next week. so, a morning of typing awaits me. unless of course i get the nerve to type around 2 in the morning. who knows.

that's all for now. hope this finds everyone well.
