first off, let me thank Frontier Communications for absolutely nothing. i just love when a tech tells you "well, we're going to try this but I don't think it will do anything." what a piece of shit company.
so i'm trying to type as fast as i can to get this fucker posted before the internet vanishes into thin air like this morning. nothing quite like waiting 30 minutes for 1 email to open. high speed internet for sure.
but, in my anger last night over the situation, i did crank out 3 poems. not quite sure why i'm writing in groups of 3 at the moment, but oh well. i typed them up earlier today and like them. i'm figuring an early July submission on those.
i did watch the guy walk across the Grand Canyon last night. i laughed when he prayed nearly 3/4 of the whole way across. i looked at my mother and said if he falls, atheists will have all the ammunition they will ever need. pretty ballsy doing the stunt in jeans.
tonight will be a mix of game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final and Monday Night Raw. both should be pretty damn good.
we might have got almost 2 minutes of drizzle today. not exactly what i was hoping for. we need a good decent rainfall, and quickly. these hot, dry days are surely using up all the water from the spring. other than that, the crops look about 100000000000000000000% better than last year at this time.
i take my truck in tomorrow and have a deposit to make at the bank. i guess the bank is going to have to wait.
a quick shout out to the muse. if you happen to read this you'll understand why i haven't returned your call yet. i do hope you are doing well.
peace and chicken grease.

what a lovely Saturday
a nice southern breeze taking the temps into the mid 60's. some sunshine and some college basketball. i couldn't ask for more.
went to UD Arena to see the Dayton Flyers open up the season for real. a sluggish game with plenty of hope. when your best player doesn't score in the first half and you are up by 7, i always think that means you have a team with great depth. and when that best player finishes the game with 12 points, 10 assists, and 6 rebounds and you know he played like shit for most of the game, you can smile. this team has plenty of good parts. but relying on freshmen the way they have to, this season will have plenty of warts as well. a win by 13 is a nice way to get the season going.
then, a little bite to eat and a trip to the grocery store. wasn't nearly as bad as i thought it would be. seeing that Ohio State is off this week, i kind of figured everyone would be at the store instead of in front of a television. it was packed but i managed it. when i'm calm i have a real fuck off look to me, so i'm usually left alone. makes it easier for my mother to get through the aisles, i know that much.
got home to see that Manchester United won 3-2. the usual, go down 2-0. enter the Mexican God, Chicharito, and just like that, 3-2. i learned a long time ago, this team has a will that can't be extinguished. no matter the players, the conditions, or the odds, drama is never far away. been a fan since the early 90's. they probably have taken a few years off my life, but it's been enjoyable.
then, enter chaos into college football as Alabama loses at home. down goes the number 1 team in the land. i smell a god conspiracy going on to make sure Notre Dame plays for the national championship. just sayin'.
and since the NHL can't decide if it wants to be relevant or not, this Saturday night will be spent with a beer, some more football, waiting for Saturday Night Live. i'd much rather be watching Canadians fighting, just sayin'.

by the way, as some of you may have noticed, not that any of you should really care, a part of my soul got robbed last night and i'm now on google+. the world has officially started to end. you're welcome.

at the brink...
let me start this by stating that i do have confidence in CC and that i do believe he will do his job. as for everyone other than Derek Jeter and Raul Ibanez, i have no fucking clue. last night's game pissed me the fuck off to the point where i didn't bother with turning on the tv for sports shit this morning. it wouldn't shock me at all if the Yankees spit the bit later on today and feebly exit the playoffs once again. wouldn't shock me if they somehow hit 6 home runs today either. it's one extreme or the other. nothing is consistent about the team at all.
to fill my time and brain this morning, yet another day spent on NoiseTrade.com. and i highly recommend the 2 albums * i downloaded this morning for free. i will list them in a bit. but, do check them out, you will not be disappointed.
not sure how i'm going to fill the next few hours before the Yankees play. i imagine i'll be watching some soccer or maybe a nap, or maybe both.
just in case the Yankees shit the bed later on today and i'm a bit too pissy to post anything, hope everyone has a good weekend.
