a decent night of sleep...

 i think i know the reason i got a decent night of sleep finally. i think the crack in my wall let some light in. thank you Leonard Cohen for that line. i know it was only a little over 4 hours, but it felt like a deep fucking sleep. emphasis on fucking of course.

i wrote 3 more poems last night for the book. i'm up to 20 now for the book, half way there. i'm really hoping i can get to 40 before my birthday. that would be impressive, at least to me.

the Dayton Flyers lost last night at UMass, 76-72. another awful case of playing down to their competition and paying for it. all that good work they did in the non-conference part of their season has gone to waste.

AEW Dynamite was good last night.

Inside the NFL was very good last night.

Abbott Elementary was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight.

Notre Dame plays Penn State tonight in the semifinals of the college football playoff.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the Devils. 

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

i know we're supposed to get 2 to 4 inches of snow tomorrow. joy.

that's all for me today kids. i need to go get started on dinner. meatloaf sandwiches on sourdough bread.

best of luck to all the gamblers tonight.

until tomorrow.

 it snowed overnight here. nothing too bad, but i'm guessing it is a precursor of what is to come this weekend. i wrote 3 poems last night. 1 for the book and 2 for what i guess i am calling the general submissions folder. if i can keep this going, i might actually meet my goal of having this book ready to send to the publisher by late spring/early summer.

team USA defeated Switzerland yesterday at the World Juniors, 7-2. they will play Czechia on Saturday, who knocked out Canada last night for the second year in a row.

the New York Rangers won last night at home over Boston, 2-1.

i have a doctor's appointment this afternoon. after that, i need to go to the grocery store to pick up my prescription and get whatever is on the list.

i will most likely be on here tomorrow in the morning. the Dayton Flyers play on the road tomorrow at noon.

i know we're supposed to have a big winter storm coming through on Sunday night. if that does happen, i'm guessing the grocery store will be a fresh slice of hell today.

 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.

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.

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.

the guy that does our lawn came by yesterday to let us know he won't be doing it anymore. so, mom and i have to decide what we want to do.

Manchester United lost yesterday at home to Nottingham Forest, 3-2. i wasn't thrilled with that. and then i woke up this morning to the news that their sporting director has left the club. given the statement that United put out, it is beyond obvious he got fired. chaos upon chaos. great.

the Dayton Flyers won yesterday at home against Lehigh, 86-62.

like squeezing water out of a rock...

 this is how i have talked about writing poems here lately. now, last night, i managed to get 4 poems out of that rock. whenever i write a line that sends a shiver down my back, i know i'm on to something. hopefully, i'll get a few more written this weekend.

so, the New York Rangers surprised me this afternoon. they traded their captain to Anaheim for a cheaper defenseman and a 4th round draft pick. the coup in the trade was Anaheim took on the contract. the Rangers didn't have to retain any salary. so, now they have plenty of cap space and 3 first round draft picks to go get something to really galvanize this team. 

the Rangers play tonight at home against Pittsburgh.

Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage was pretty funny last night.

NJPW was good last night.

the NFL game last night between the Packers and Lions was really good. the Lions won, 34-31.

so, the Rangers just signed their goalie to an extension that is 8 years and 92 million. crazy crazy day.

other than hockey tonight, i might watch some college football.

i'm going to try to get some Christmas shit up this weekend around the house. mom has said she's leaving it up to me, so it might just be the Charlie Brown Christmas tree and that's it.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

the Christmas cards will be going out on Monday, sort of.

up early on a Saturday...

 i got up pretty early this morning. i am always hyped up when this week comes around every year. the Ohio State vs. Michigan game always has meant something to me. for too much of my damn life, it has meant bitter losses. i am really hoping, and fuck it, expecting, this year to be different. i know if it isn't, Ryan Day will be job seeking and who knows what this team looks like next season. a win today puts Ohio State in the Big 10 championship game against Oregon. 

Smackdown and NXT Level Up last night were really good. i can't wait for Survivor Series today.

the Yacht Rock dockumentary last night was great.

i did get my Christmas shopping for mom done last night. i had used my Capitol One Visa so damn much this year that i had enough points to get all of her gifts for FREE.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Everton in the morning.

 as many of you know, i am not a big fan of Black Friday. i have tried to be less of a consumer as i have grown older. now, if it some crazy can't miss deal, i might take the bait, but often i will do most of my shopping to support small businesses. to me, at least, that is way more impactful than anything else shopping wise. i hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. mom wanted to do the cooking yesterday, so i let her. i could tell she was very proud of herself that everything tasted good. 

i did watch all 3 football games yesterday. didn't make much money, but i did get 2 of the 3 games right. i was surprised the Lions didn't cover. i wasn't surprised when the Bears fired their coach this morning. a blind man could have seen that coming.

Manchester United won yesterday in the Europa League, 3-2, at home over Bodo/Glimt.

The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.
