the dog days of summer... again

 yet another day in the 90's here... i got up early this morning to water mom's flowers outside. she wants to see them live for a few weeks longer. joy.

so, for dinner last night, i ordered Pizza Hut. i figured since it was Labor Day, i didn't really feel like cooking. besides, my back was punishing me for being efficient yesterday. i got 3 loads of laundry done, 15 poems sent out, 2 blogs written, 350 emails gone through and had dinner ordered before 6 PM. for the rest of the night, my back was on strike. pretty much the same for today. 

Monday Night Raw was good last night.

i did watch a little of Clemson vs. Duke last night. i didn't think Clemson would lay that turd.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Deadliest Catch, the finale of Hard Knocks and Inside the NFL.

the Yankees play at home tonight against Detroit. hopefully, they will keep winning.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done. 

i hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

otro día húmedo

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...

hello Sunday...

 i'm not a big fan of getting up before the sun does. of course, my mind doesn't exactly let me sleep much anymore. i can't turn off the genius switch. so, probably like yesterday... less than 4 hours in the bed and i'll get a good 1 or 2 while in my massage chair. good times.

the Yankees lost yesterday to Baltimore, 4-3. i was not a happy camper after that one. their lead to host the wild card game is now down to 1/2 game. joy. they better fucking win today.

i did watch some college football games yesterday.

ROH was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Heels and Billions.

the USMNT takes on Canada tonight down in Nashville for the second round of World Cup qualifying. hopefully, the boys will get a victory tonight.

i believe it rained most of the night, so there's another reason why i probably didn't sleep much. add in some nerve pain, and...

hard to believe that tomorrow is Labor Day. 

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

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning.

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the shot.

and just like that, pen hit the paper again...

i haven't even felt like writing anything the past 2 weeks. last night, i ended up writing 7 poems. i'm guessing it was the second earthquake in California that got the poetic juices flowing again. i typed those poems up last night. this all happened between the hours of 2 and 5 this morning. i like most of the poems. i do plan on getting another round of submissions ready, probably sometime over this weekend.

the NBA basically broke the internet last night.

the New York Yankees came from behind last night to defeat Tampa, 8-4 in 11 innings. Aaron Judge hit 2 home runs in the game. Aaron Hicks hit a massive pinch hit home run that sent the game into extra innings. hopefully, the Yankees can win again later this afternoon.

Los Espookys was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW, ROH and Bohemian Rhapsody.

i am really looking forward to night 1 of the G1 Climax tonight. it will be the first time the annual NJPW event will be live on AXS TV and coming from the USA.

i did catch a little of Sweden defeating England 2-1 in the third place game of the Women's World Cup today.

as of right now, the plan for tomorrow is for me to get this blog done before the USWNT takes on the Netherlands in the Women's World Cup final. if that doesn't happen, i'll try to get the blog done after the match over, while the Yankees are finishing up their series in Tampa.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. it's getting ready to rain here, oh joy.

Podría prescindir de la lluvia por unos días.

not bad for just 4 hours of sleep...

first off, a little poetry news. the 3 poems published today on the Facebook page of Horror Sleaze Trash were also published on their Tumblr page. you can find that by going here:
https://horrorsleazetrash.tumblr.com/post/177774264443/jjcampbell

i sent out 31 poems this morning. thankfully, my new mouse worked great, so i didn't have to do much typing. with the rain in the area, that was nearly fucking perfect. i sent 3 poems each to Mad Swirl and The Beatnik Cowboy; 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash (3 already published), Alien Buddha Press, Academy Of The Heart And Mind, Otoliths and Synchronized Chaos (already accepted for publication). when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

i was up late because the New York Yankees won in Oakland last night, 5-1. they saved all of their offense for late in the game. but, it was a victory they really needed. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.

Smackdown was pretty good last night.

205 Live was really good last night.

Fuck That's Delicious was hilarious last night.

the season finale of Hard Knocks was pretty good last night.

the premiere of Mayans M.C. was excellent last night. i think i will really like this show.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lucha Underground, Big Brother and Mr. Mercedes. i'll watch NXT and the Mae Young Classic sometime tonight on WWE Network.

besides doing all the poetry work today, i've been helping mom reorganize her closet. she's not able to lift anything above her head. so, i've been putting all the boxes she wants up on the top shelf for her.

i know at some point we need to go down to Best Buy and get a new television. that might happen tomorrow, or it might have to wait for the weekend when my sister is here for her birthday.

i don't think they have picked up the trash yet today. i'm guessing they are waiting for it to start raining for that to happen. the fuckers.

today, i truly have felt like one of my favorite lines from my mother... busier than 9 cats covering up shit in a windstorm.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i know mom has a phone call with some kind of nurse tomorrow that i think she wants me to sit in on. i'm hoping that's not too early in the morning.

after a night of heavy rain...

when i was trying to fall asleep last night, i could hear the rain pounding the house. i have to trick myself anymore to think i'm finding the pleasure in the pain to fall asleep. that worked for a few hours. eventually, i just said fuck it and got up. we had 1.4 inches in the rain gauge. the grass certainly needed it, that's for sure.

i was really pleased when i got that email back from Carcinogenic Poetry this morning. this will be the first time Michael has published me in 3 years.

i got some great FREE music this morning on NoiseTrade. here are the links you should definitely check out:
Hammock - Hammock Compilation
VISSIA - You Should Be Sleeping EP
David Ramirez - We're Not Going Anywhere

the New York Yankees won yesterday over Baltimore 7-4. with Boston losing last night, the Yankees are now just 2 1/2 games out in the division. hopefully the Yankees can make it 4 wins in a row tonight.

I Hart Food was pretty damn good last night. looks like Eugene, Oregon would be a place i would like.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night as well. The Big Show vs. Braun Strowman in a steel cage certainly didn't disappoint. and they are doing a pretty good job of making Roman Reigns vs. John Cena something i should give a shit about.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, the season finale of Hard Knocks, Deadliest Catch and the new season of American Horror Story. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the USA faces a MUST WIN game today at Honduras. it's never easy to play there, but i'm really fucking tired of the excuses coming from the team and the coaches. here's a tip... play your best players and fucking WIN. if they don't get a result out of this game, there is a likely chance they won't qualify for the World Cup in Russia in 2018.

i will be on here sometime after i take my mother to have her mammogram tomorrow.

i have trash to pick up now, dishes to do and they still haven't delivered the fucking mail. and i would love to have that all done before the USA plays in a few hours.

to top it all off, my damn lamp by my computer died. so now i'm using this light i have had since my childhood. i'm talking late 1970's my friends. my luck, the fucker will catch something on fire.

the holidays always bring out the weirdos

i've been contacted by 3 people out of the blue this morning. 3 complete fucking strangers. i've already busted one as trying to scam me. i'm working on a second one posing as a general in Syria. he has the decency to actually pose as a Christian as well. ok, just nailed him. you would think one day these stupid fuckers would realize i will not fall for this stupid shit. the third one says she is a student and model in London. i'm waiting for when she asks me for money. it will happen, i have seen it for years now. it's beyond fucking rare anymore to find an "actual" person on the internet that wants to have a conversation and not just weasel some money out of you.

so, welcome to my Labor Day. hopefully yours has started better.

the New York Yankees got a huge victory yesterday, 5-2, avoiding a sweep in Baltimore. they are back home this afternoon playing against Toronto. they really need to start stringing together victories if they want to stay in contention for the playoffs. sadly, every team they play (except for Tampa) are playing for the playoffs as well for the rest of the season.

that game between Notre Dame and Texas last night was an instant classic. Texas won in 50-47 in 2OT.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. this will be the last week in the house for James or Natalie.

Power last night was excellent. the shit is getting really good now.

The Strain was fucking great last night. the ending was certainly very interesting.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the final part of the CM Punk UFC documentary. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening. i will probably check out the Florida State vs. Ole Miss game as well.

i listened to the latest Sam and Cathy podcast this morning. you can find it by going here:

mom did pretty well yesterday. of course, she's paying for it today. we went to the local grocery store and she got some things she wanted. i think took her to this chicken place as she had been talking about wanting chicken for the last two days. so, there was lunch and dinner yesterday. this morning she feels a little drained. hopefully the muscle relaxers help her.

i was thrilled to see who the latest person to commit to the University of Dayton to play basketball was. you can never go wrong with 6 foot 11. welcome to Dayton, Jordan Pierce.
