one of the crazy days...

 so, let me begin where yesterday's blog stopped... Manchester United and Liverpool finished 2-2 yesterday. United had a chance to win it late, just had the wrong guy taking the shot. i was thrilled with getting a point out of that game considering Liverpool is basically running away with the league. and i also agreed, this should be the standard performance from Manchester United going forward.

the New York Rangers won at Chicago yesterday, 6-2. 

the New Orleans Saints lost yesterday at Tampa Bay, 27-19. thank god this season is over. 

team USA defeated Finland last night, 4-3 in OT, to win their second straight gold medal at the World Juniors. first time in history the USA has done that. even better, Finland blew a 3-1 lead in the game.

so, the NFL playoffs are now set.

i did write 2 more poems last night, both for the book. i think i am up to 11 now. just 29 more to go.

The Agency last night was excellent.

Dexter: Original Sin was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight. i do plan on watching Monday Night Raw on Netflix tonight.

so, we got a little over 8 inches of snow last night. i haven't bothered to go outside at all today. i have this spot on my left leg from a car accident in my 20's that feels like my leg is going to break in two on days like this. makes it really interesting while trying to walk on snow and ice. good times.

i'm not sure why i am suddenly popular with beautiful women on Substack. it is mind boggling to me. but, it seems to be helping the poems...

mom didn't go to her foot doctor today, obviously. and Orkin didn't show up today, obviously. whoever mom hired to shovel the driveway did a good job, until it snowed again. the wind is blowing hard enough that by tomorrow, you probably won't even be able to tell it got shoveled.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i am hoping it is after i get some better sleep.

i need to start working on dinner tonight. meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy... perfect for a cold fucking night.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

stay off the fucking streets.

the calm before the storm...

 so, as i was struggling to fall asleep last night, i saw the national weather service put out a winter storm warning for where i live. from Sunday at 10 AM to Monday at midnight. 5 to 9 inches of snow. well fuck me. i doubt mom goes to her appointment with her foot doctor on Monday.

Smackdown was excellent last night.

Inside the NFL was really good last night.

i did write 3 poems last night. 2 for the book and 1 for the general file. so far, i do like that i have been able to come up with something every night of 2025. fingers crossed.

the sweet taste of revenge...

 i watched the Ohio State game last night, really hoping they were going to destroy Oregon and rub their noses in it. when Ohio State got up 34-0 i was so fucking happy. they ended up winning the Rose Bowl, 41-21. they will play in the semifinals of the college football playoff against Texas, which survived Arizona St, 39-31 in 2OT.

AEW Dynamite was good last night.

Orkin came out today to check the traps. i told the guy i think one of them went off as i could hear the trap hitting up against something in the attic. sure enough, there was one squirrel in one of the traps. he used some of my suet as bait to put in the other trap to see if anything else is up there.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight.

team USA takes on Switzerland today at the World Juniors.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Boston. hopefully, they will find a way to win.

the Sugar Bowl is today between Georgia and Notre Dame. winner plays Penn State in the other semifinal of the college football playoff.

amazingly, they had the trash and recyclables picked up before 11 AM today. now, i have to put all the plastics and cardboard that wouldn't fit because they forgot to pick them up last week, into the now empty bin.

i did write one poem last night for the upcoming book. i was hoping for more, but i think that might come tonight.

i am going to try to be on here tomorrow in the morning before my doctor's appointment in the afternoon. i think after that appointment i need to get the rest of the grocery shopping done.

that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

so much for a peaceful 2025...

 i didn't get to sleep last night until 5 this morning. i did manage to write 3 poems last night. more on that in a bit. i woke up around 9:45 this morning and checked my phone. i believe the first words were what the fuck. being 48 years old, i'm no longer surprised by the violence, or the lack of humanity anymore. what really pisses me off anymore is how this country turns a blind eye to homegrown terrorists. we still operate with this mentality that our enemies are nations, etc. i always thought this was why we could never win in Vietnam. we don't understand guerillas or the lone wolfs that get radicalized. and we still don't. the Sugar Bowl tonight between Georgia and Notre Dame has been postponed to tomorrow night. i'm sure the death total will rise and lord knows how many IEDs they are going to find around the French Quarter. the terrorist in question is 42 years old and an American citizen. from Texas of course. just fucking crazy...

so, on the 3 poems i wrote last night. i need to write about 40 poems that will be for my new book, untitled as of now. John Patrick Robbins from The Rye Whiskey Review wants to publish a book of poems of mine. i have always enjoy working with JPR, so i am definitely going to jump at this opportunity. so, i basically am going to write poems for the book specifically that no one will see until the book is published. i also am going to try to write poems for the places i send to as well. what this actually means is i won't be sleeping for the next 5 months. good times.

i finished the grocery shopping yesterday and got home in time to watch the second half of Dayton vs. LaSalle. Dayton won the game 84-70.

team USA defeated Canada last night, 4-1, to win Group A at the World Juniors. the USA will play Switzerland on Thursday in the quarterfinals.

oh goody, now the FBI believes the terrorist, who was in the US Army by the way at some point, didn't act alone in this. why do i think this is now becoming an old episode of Homeland?

the college football playoff game last night between Penn State and Boise St. was won by Penn State, 31-14.

NXT last night was ok.

Hard Knocks last night was very good.

Texas is leading Arizona St. 17-3 at halftime in their college football playoff game today.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite.

Ohio State tries to get its revenge today against Oregon in the Rose Bowl. winner will play the winner of the Texas vs. Arizona St. game in the semifinals of the college football playoffs.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i know at some point i need to get my driving license renewed before my birthday on the 21st. i also have a doctor's appointment on Friday. joy.

a big thank you to everyone for checking out my first published poems of 2025:

https://synchchaos.com/poetry-from-j-j-campbell-120/

i hope everyone had a good New Year's Eve.

i hope 2025 is a great year for all of us. i know that is impossible as so many of us tend to slip through the cracks of this world. i just hope this blog can continue to be a little ray of whatever you need it to be to keep your head above water.

 how many fucking gray days is this winter going to be? fuck, i haven't seen the sun for days it feels like. mom did get her injection today. she was worried, since she was running behind, that we were going to be late. thankfully, i learned a long time ago how to draft behind semis on the highway. we got to the place 8 minutes before her appointment time. after she got her injection, she wanted a Frozen Coke from McDonalds. at least that line moved pretty fast.

i got home in time to watch some of the World Juniors. it was a very interesting day. Finland beat Slovakia in OT, 4-3. Czechia got a late goal to upset Canada, 3-2. Sweden defeated Switzerland in OT, 3-2. the USA whipped Latvia, 7-2. so, the semi-finals will be USA vs. Finland and Sweden vs. Czechia on Thursday. winners face each other in the gold medal match. losers face each other for the bronze. been a long damn time since Canada got knocked out this early.

Monday Night Raw was very good last night.

Manchester United lost yesterday at Nottingham Forest, 2-1. i really hope 2024 will be better for this team. hopefully, with new people running the team, it will be.

so, i will probably be on here after that happens tomorrow.
