now this is the weather i love...

 it has been a sunny day here. not hot, so i could actually open up the house and let the light breeze in. these are the days where i would love to fall asleep in the sun for a few hours and truly relax. i did make it to the bank today. i drove around a bit afterwards, just allowing my mind to escape a bit i guess. plus, there is enough construction around here, i have to go all these different ways to everything it seems.

here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:

the Yankees lost yesterday at Cleveland, 8-7, in 10 innings. they start a series tonight at Toronto.

i spent most of yesterday going through some baseball cards that the girl that grew up next to me had as she is moving. i guess her now ex-husband left them behind. she wanted to know if there was anything good in them. there was probably close to a thousand cards, all sports. if they would have been in better shape, there would have been plenty worth some money. i told her i found about 50 of them that she could probably sell and get a little money for. the highlight was definitely the Shaquille O'Neal rookie card.

A Gentleman in Moscow was very good last night.

The Sympathizer was excellent last night.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

here are your NBA highlights from the last day of the regular season:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw and The Voice.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Ottawa. this is the last game of the regular season. if they win, they get everything they played for in the regular season; win the division, win the conference, win the President's Trophy, #1 seed overall in the playoffs. so yeah, i am really hoping they win tonight.

i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to her ear doctor.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:

https://synchchaos.com/poetry-from-j-j-campbell-103/

well, i got a little sleep at least...

 i think i fell asleep around 5 this morning. when i saw the clock and it said 8:30, i believe the first words were fuck that. i ended up waking up around 10. yesterday was a long one for me, but it was enjoyable for the most part. 

here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:

Manchester United and Bournemouth played to a 2-2 draw yesterday. at this point, i really couldn't care less. the only thing United has a chance to win is the FA Cup. i have little hope they are going to finish high enough in the Premier League to be in the Champions League next season, or even the Europa League.

the New York Rangers won yesterday at home against the Islanders, 3-2, in a shootout. that gives the Rangers 54 wins on the season, the most in franchise history. if they win on Monday at home against Ottawa, they will win the President's Trophy and be the number one overall seed in the playoffs.

the Yankees won both games of the doubleheader yesterday at Cleveland. they won Game 1, 3-2. they won Game 2, 8-2. hopefully, they will get the sweep this afternoon.

AEW Collision and AEW Battle of the Belts were pretty good last night.

Saturday Night Live was fucking hilarious last night.

i did watch the college hockey finals yesterday:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Sympathizer, Last Week Tonight and A Gentleman in Moscow.

fuck war.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.

AEW Rampage was good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was excellent last night.

Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show was the blueprint last night on how to be a shitty friend.

the Yankees play a doubleheader today in Cleveland. i would love if they would win both games.

the New York Rangers play at home this afternoon against the Islanders. it would be nice to see the Rangers actually win today.

Manchester United plays at Bouremouth this afternoon. i'm not holding my breath for a United victory, although it would be nice.

i'm sure i will watch some other stuff today as well.

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

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

finally, some sunshine...

 as we were coming out of mom's appointment with her accountant, the sun was out. that was basically the only thing that stopped me from snapping at her. this was an appointment that should have took less than a hour but was well over a hour because mom can't help herself to not talk about politics, or whatever the fuck else. and i am not a person that needs useless small talk. it doesn't do anything for me. and i certainly see why mom worked the long hours as i can see just how much of her time was spent chatting with anyone that would happen to listen. fuck me. might be the most annoyed i have been in years. but, the taxes are done. hurray. i had to go to Rite Aid after that and pick up some pills. first time mom got to see some of the construction going on around town.

here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Philadelphia, 4-1. it is painfully obvious that the Rangers have no interest in any of these games now that they are already qualified for the playoffs. my fear is that when the playoffs do start, they will forget to flip the fucking switch back on.

Young Sheldon was very funny last night.

NJPW was new last night although the guide said it was a rerun. i guess the show is moving to Wednesday nights now.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Real Time with Bill Maher and Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

the Yankees got rained out tonight in Cleveland, so they will be playing a day/night doubleheader tomorrow.

so, i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow seeing that the Yankees and Manchester United will playing around the same time.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i need to get going on dinner.

another rainy day...

the rain is still going on. i am hoping it will be ending soon, but i have no clue. i spent most of today in pain. i was able to help mom pay her bills. as soon as i get this done, i have to add up all her stuff for her taxes. and then at some point, i would love to shave and shower tonight.

here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:

the Yankees lost last night at home to the Marlins, 5-2. they are off tonight and start a series tomorrow night at Cleveland.

AEW Dynamite was ok last night. i laughed when i saw the CM Punk footage they were teasing. to release it with no audio makes no sense and it doesn't prove Punk to be a liar like so many were hoping. it would be nice if AEW would realize they are light years away from being on WWE's level, so just improve the product and give the fans a reason to watch. i don't think Tony Kahn has it in him to not be petty.

Abbott Elementary was hilarious last night.

The Masked Singer was crazy as usual.

American Horror Story was fucking nuts last night.

here are your NBA highlights from last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Young Sheldon.

the New York Rangers play at home tonight against Philadelphia.

i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to her accountant. of course, if she doesn't feel up to it, i will have to take all the paperwork there myself. thankfully, it is in town, so not a far drive.

i need to go get started on dinner.

why i love pro wrestling...

 night 2 of WrestleMania 40 was awesome. when the cash in happened in the first match, i told mom it was going to be a crazy night. i absolutely love they started the main event before 10 PM. and that main event had everything. as i explained to my mother, Cody and Seth had to lose on Saturday for Cody to have a chance to win on Sunday. to see the Undertaker come back to confront The Rock was a big shock to me. but most of all, i was so damn happy that Cody won and finished the story. now, it will be very interesting to see where WWE goes from here. i have to believe this was the biggest WrestleMania of all time. 

here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:

the Yankees won yesterday at home against Toronto, 8-3. they start a series tonight at home against the Marlins.

the New York Rangers won last night at home against Montreal, 5-2. they tied their season record for wins last night.

the series finale of The Regime was crazy.

the series finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm was hilarious.

i'm mostly done with my laundry. i'm hoping my clothes will dry before all the shit begins tonight.

the national championship game between UConn and Perdue is tonight.

i was stunned to see the news last night about Kentucky's coach leaving to go coach Arkansas.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to get her injection in her back.

poetry update

 i just sent out 5 poems to Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from Cristina, i will pass along the verdict.

why am i used to only getting 4 hours of sleep and still being able to function...

 honestly, i think because i used my drug use as a teenage as a means to expand my brain, etc. instead of just wanting to get high as fuck... my brain is really different than most people i know. i tend to do better on the less sleep i get. i know that bubble will fucking burst at some point, so i might as well enjoy the ride now. my thoughts on a few things will be coming up, but first...

here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:

speaking of poems, i wrote 3 last night. they will be part of a submission i am sending out tomorrow.

the New York Yankees won last night at home against Toronto, 9-8. hopefully, they will win the series this afternoon.

the national championship is now set in college basketball...

NXT Stand and Deliver yesterday was good.

night 1 of WrestleMania 40 was amazing. most of the matches were really good. i had tears in my eyes when Sami Zayn upset GUNTHER to win the intercontinental championship, especially since he busted out a move i haven't seen him do since he went by El Generico. i am hoping for more chaos tonight and i really want Cody to somehow defeat Roman.

AEW Collision was good last night.

Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night.

here are your highlights from the NBA yesterday:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the series finale of The Regime, the series finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm, A Gentleman in Moscow and Last Week Tonight.

Manchester United and Liverpool had a 2-2 draw this morning. United was trailing at halftime. they took a 2-1 lead in the second half. but, of course, they gave away a penalty late for the draw. but, i'll look at this as Liverpool dropped 2 points and will hopefully not win the title this season.

i need to vacuum the house today. i guess that is going to be my mother's wake up alarm since she is still in bed.

i will be doing my laundry tomorrow during the eclipse, so i will be on here sometime during that.

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