for National Poetry Month, i give you:
i was (an really still am) in the dumps last night. i was hoping that my sports teams could lift me up. instead, they decided to shit down my throat.
the New York Rangers got embarrassed last night, losing at home to the Penguins 5-0. i turned the game off when it was 3-0. honestly, i do hope their season fucking ends tomorrow so maybe the general manger and owner can understand that changes need to be made.
the New York Yankees got swept by Oakland, losing 7-3. they are in last place in the division and start a series at home with Tampa tonight. sadly, they probably need to keep losing for changes to actually happen on that team as well.
thankfully, The Big Bang Theory was excellent last night, as was Lip Sync Battle. both shows got me to laugh, which i desperately needed last night.
i watched WWE Smackdown this morning. it was an excellent show this week.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be NJPW and VICE.
i had to take mom to her bank today to deposit a check and then she wanted to go to lunch before we went to the grocery store. so we went to this sports bar we both like. right as we were getting ready to leave, Purple Rain came on in the place. it was simply fucking amazing to hear the place get quiet and watch people with tears in the eyes as we walked out. i know that each time i have heard that song in the last 24 hours i have started crying.
as i was trying to fall asleep last night, i was wondering why this death is affecting me more than Bowie's death did. the only thing i can think of is how much more of a personal relationship i have had with the music of Prince over my life. going to a black high school certainly played a role in that. making mix tapes with Prince songs in them over the years certainly played a role. and i guess the one thing Prince did that Bowie really didn't do, was always create new music. to think that he's dead is still numbing to me. but, as James Corden said last night, i will always cherish the fact i was alive when that genius was making music.
for those of you that are interested, on my Soundcloud page you can find the last concert that Prince did. it should be at the top of my page. here is a link to it: https://soundcloud.com/j-j-campbell
i have to take mom to get a rental car tomorrow morning. hopefully i will get back home by the time Manchester United plays at noon in the FA Cup semifinals. by the time that is over, the Rangers and Yankees will be playing. so, i'll probably be back on here tomorrow evening or so.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
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...
