the fog from early this morning has finally started to burn off. i got a good laugh from the wild turkeys in the lane scaring off the little birds as they came up to the house. of course, they started to scatter when my cat Whitey looked at them and started to think... i believe all of them are safely in the back woods now.
after i feed the cats this morning, i'll be making a trip to the store with my mother. she's going to a conference for a few days next week, so she thinks it would be nice if there was some food in the house for me. so kind. i actually believe she wants me to come along to lift the heavy shit we have to get at the tractor supply store.
the Yankees won last night 5-3. 3 wins in a row. the fools are starting to think they can still actually make the playoffs. i won't believe until they actually do it. Jeter had another good game. i figure this next week is going to be him trying to turn back the clock. they play again this afternoon. i don't like their chances given the pitching matchup.
the Big Brother episode was better than i thought it was going to be last night. i'm not a big fan of the flashback episodes, especially when you've watched most or all of the season. the season finale of the show will be Wednesday night. i will be shocked if Derrick doesn't win it all.
The Knick last night was excellent. the ending was especially creepy. i do love the detail in which they go into for a historical type of show. plus, i do love a show that is graphic. now, if i would just remember that it's on Friday nights and not recall that i missed it when i'm getting ready for bed at 2 in the morning...
when i get back from the store, unless there is something important in the mail, it will be a day of sports and who knows what else. there are a few college football games i want to watch today. plus, a few good soccer matches over in Europe.
late tonight i'll watch ROH. hopefully it will be another great episode.
Manchester United plays early tomorrow morning. so i'll probably be on here after that game.
i had some fun this morning on iTunes. i bought four songs, one that has been stuck in my head for weeks now. the other three were spur of the moment decisions. mostly, i just go wherever my ears get excited.
for those following the stories within this blog, high school football didn't go as i wanted last night and i heard that i missed one great concert. oh well. one day i'll have something close to a disposable income.
that's all for me this morning. i do hope all 3 of you that read this have a wonderful Saturday. 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...

so this is what summer feels like
first off, let me thank whomever left the comments about my latest poems in Dead Snakes. that helped make my morning a tad bit more bearable.
summer has returned here today. temps in the upper 80's with humidity close to that number. i made the mistake of driving with my window open while driving by the farm at the nearest intersection out here. they were spreading shit in the field. take about a smell that burns the back of your throat forever. there's one thing i won't miss when we move.
one thing i will miss happened when i was doing the dishes today. out of nowhere came 18 wild turkeys moving from the corn to the soybeans. i know wherever we move, i most likely won't see something like that.
the Yankees had an offensive explosion yesterday, winning 4-2. 2 wins in a row, holy shit. they are off tonight before they play Houston tomorrow at home. hopefully they can get on a big winning streak to truly get back in the playoff race.
the shows last night were excellent. Big Brother made me laugh. i truly hate this Team America bullshit. and i do believe the producers are going to get their wish this Thursday; fireworks. Ray Donovan was really good, mostly because there was plenty of sex involved. The Strain was brilliant. truly fucking terrifying. Last Week Tonight was fucking hilarious. not sure what i'm going to do with it off for the next 2 weeks. Masters of Sex was good and kind of sad.
tonight i will be watching Monday Night Raw. there were 3 title changes last night at the PPV. that should make for an interesting show, especially given that one of those changes was John Cena losing his title. i'll watch just for that quite honestly.
got my sister's birthday gifts ordered today. i had to get her more than one thing as the book i ordered for her is caught up in Amazon's war with book publishers. i checked and saw i had enough reward points on my credit card to cover it all. so, i of course got a few things for myself.
my mom made it down to her meeting this morning right before it started. she said traffic was horrible. of course, i didn't know she actually made it down there until she called me this afternoon to tell me she was on her way home. i suppose it's going to be a late dinner tonight as i fully expect traffic to be horrible on the way back up here. good times.
that's pretty much all for me today. hope everyone had a great weekend.
be well. be cool. be creative. be quick to send me CASH, panties, broken promises, love letters, hate mail, dirty pennies from heaven.
peace and chicken grease my enemies...

a lost turkey
every blue moon or so, we will have some wild turkeys show up at the farm. so when i was coming back from the post office and saw one out by the road, i didn't think anything of it. but, when i saw that same one up by the house a few hours later, alone and looking lost, i did wonder what the fuck is going on. hopefully it will get into the woods and find the others, or at the very least, get out of this heat. it's near 90 degrees today. no air moving at all. one of those days where you are wearing a coat of sweat within seconds. at least i'm not stoned today. i would have been convinced that turkey was coming for me.
the Yankees got the sweep yesterday, 3-2. they won in the bottom of the 9th on a botched pop up. that was about the only exciting part of the game. it was literally like watching paint dry. they take on Texas tonight. hopefully they can keep winning.
the Sunday night shows were good last night. Big Brother made me laugh. Ray Donovan was pretty good. The Strain was excellent once again. Last Week Tonight was fucking brilliant. and finally, Masters of Sex was pretty good as well. i was able to get all the shows watched and was in bed a little after 1 AM. of course, i was back up a little before 7 AM. the bags under my eyes are atrocious. i'm sure i'll get some good sleep sometime before i die.
i will be watching Monday Night Raw tonight. hopefully, it will be better than the baseball game. usually the shows after a PPV are. there are some surprises rumored for tonight.
i had to put air in my tires today. figures. this kind of shit only happens when it is hot as hell or snowing like there is no tomorrow. and since i don't park in one of the barns...
mom is starting to feel a little better. i'm still worried about her, but she has some tests planned for this week. looks like i will be playing chauffeur once again.
if i get a wild hair up my ass during my insomnia tonight, i may try my hand at some more "art". either that, see if i have any poems left rattling around this brain.
that is all for today folks. please return your seats to their upright position. enjoy the rest of your day and please, come again.
be well. be creative. be cool in this heat.
peace and chicken grease my enemies...

it must be near the end of summer...
i was sitting in here on the computer this morning and happened to look out the window. much to my surprise, there was probably 15 or so wild turkeys walking in the side yard. i got my camera to try to get a picture and of course, by the time i got out there they were already in the corn field. but, that's obviously a sign summer is coming to a close soon. and when fall hits out here, this place truly becomes a fucking zoo.
so i did all that stuff yesterday morning to make sure i had everything done for the Yankees game. of course, that Yankees game started 3 1/2 hours late because of rain. just lovely. but, the Yankees did complete the sweep of the Blue Jays, winning 5-3. they are now 3 1/2 games out of a playoff spot. with 35 games left, that is absolutely doable. they start a huge series tonight in Tampa. i never like watching games in that dump. i will keep close tabs on the game though.
a big thank you to the fan that sent me 2 random photos of her in lingerie. what a great way to kill time in a rain delay.
i got 2 of my 3 wishes answered last night on Big Brother. Helen is out of the house. Judd is back in the house. unfortunately, that cunt Elissa is the new HOH. cue the Meatloaf song now. this will truly be a week where production will be calling the shots.
Wilfred was hilarious as ever last night. when you start off an episode with a dog at a glory hole, you really can't go wrong from there.
as for tv viewing tonight, maybe a little wrestling, perhaps some Food Network programming, a little baseball, and perhaps some football.
another weekend of the Premier League is coming up. Manchester United doesn't play until Monday afternoon. so, i'll be keeping my nerves under wraps until then. or, at least trying to do so.
i believe my first fantasy football draft is this weekend. that should be interesting.
also, got a fucking hilarious cartoon this morning from the artist in Sweden based on an email conversation we had the day before. i would show it but i'm hoping to include it in the book. hopefully i'll hear back from the first publisher i sent the proposal to. if it gets picked up, there are already some YouTube videos in the works. i'm really excited to spring this upon the world.
i guess the internet nearly exploded when the news came out that Ben Affleck is the new Batman. that surely has to be a sign of the coming apocalypse right?
i suppose that is all for today. i do hope everyone has a great weekend. enjoy some good times, better weather, etc. unless of course you're near a wildfire... may some rain be coming your way.
