one day i'm sure arthritis will win this war with me...

 when it rains like it has for the last couple of days, i basically know i am not going to get any good sleep. so, i basically live off of the three hours at night, a few naps here and there, etc. last night, i tried to write some poems and have that make me sleepy. after i typed up the 4 i wrote, sleep really didn't come. joy.

here are your videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

the Yankees won last night at home against Arizona, 9-7. they start a series today at the Pirates.

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

i did get my laundry started today. of course, my back has filed a protest, but when you run out of clean underwear...

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown.

i'm sure i will probably watch some of the women's Final Four tonight. 

i'm going to try to be on here in the morning since the New York Rangers play early in the afternoon tomorrow.

i need to go to Kroger to pick up a prescription. 

and i need to figure out what i'm having for lunch.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

 i think i got nearly 6 hours of sleep last night. not sure how that happened. i did write 5 poems last night. 4 for the book and 1 for the general pile. i also need to come up with a title for the book. if anyone has any suggestions, i'd love to hear them.

the New York Rangers won last night at Las Vegas, 2-1. i certainly didn't expect that victory.

i did watch a good portion of both NFL playoff games yesterday. i'm sure i will watch most of all 3 today.

Austin City Limits was excellent last night.

AEW was ok last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

so, Manchester United and Arsenal are 1-1 in extra time of their FA Cup match today. United is down to 10 men, so i'm not looking forward to the rest of this.

i am looking forward to the NFL games today. Denver at Buffalo, Packers at Eagles and Washington at Tampa Bay.

at some point today, i will probably doing my laundry.

at some point this weekend, i think i need to do my laundry.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays at Arsenal in the FA Cup.

Happy Halloween...

 i was absolutely gutted last night. it hit me hard enough that i gave in to my inner demons and shaved my head. i haven't done that in years. especially in my 20's, i would grow my hair out in the summer and then shave it all off in the winter. maybe last night was the beginning of my mid-life crisis. that certainly wouldn't surprise me. 

for everything the Yankees did right in Game 4, the complete opposite happened in Game 5. they started off great last night. they were up 5-0. and then came the errors, the mental lapses, etc. etc. that have plagued this team all season long. the Dodgers did what good teams do when your opponent gives you extra outs. they got 5 unearned runs in the 5th last night to tie the game. the Yankees actually took the lead again at 6-5. but, the bullpen faltered and that was that. the Dodgers won 7-6 to win the World Series 4-1. i was really hoping that i would wake up to the news today that Aaron Boone was out as manager. but, i guess Hal is nothing like his father. anyone with a brain knows that fundamental mistakes come down to a coaching staff not drilling it into the players heads to make sure they do all the little things right. this should be a crazy offseason. the Juan Soto sweepstakes start on Monday. my best guess is he will go to whatever team makes him the highest paid player ever in MLB. i am 95% sure that won't be the Yankees. if just making the World Series is good enough, i really wish the team would change the mantra. it certainly isn't win or bust anymore.

the season finale of Grotesquerie was a bit of a mind fuck last night. i really hope there will be a season 2.

AEW Dynamite was pretty good last night.

Abbott Elementary was pretty funny last night.

Inside the NFL was very good last night.

the USWNT won last night over Argentina, 3-0.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage and NJPW.

i might watch some of the Texans vs. Jets tonight on Amazon Prime.

i have my last load of laundry i need to fold. be right back...

ok, last load of laundry is done and put away. it's been fucking raining here most of the day. so, standing and folding clothes have become an event of pain tolerance.

i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to get her back injection done.

i hope everyone has a safe Halloween.

enjoy the candy.

until tomorrow...

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

https://synchchaos.com/poetry-from-j-j-campbell-111/

the Yankees won last night at Chicago, 10-2. Aaron Judge became the fastest player to reach 300 home runs in a career. he did it 132 games faster than Ralph Kiner. the even more amazing stat, he did it in 400 less at bats than Babe Ruth did it. the Yankees are off tonight and start a series tomorrow night at Detroit.

 so, i woke up to the sound of my printer in my room suddenly printing something this morning. i thought mom must already be up and she was printing something. and then i put on my glasses and saw my alarm clock blinking 12. i knew that meant the power went out. well, shit. i went and reset the clocks, turned off lights, etc. as i was checking the DirecTV channels, etc., i noticed the internet was out. and that stayed out until 1 this afternoon. you can imagine the wrench that put into things.

i do have my laundry going. second load into the washer. hopefully, i'll get it done before the storms hit tonight. my arthritis is telling me, the storms are to the south of us.

time to do some laundry...

 i woke up this morning and looked at the pile of dirty clothes and figured today was going to be laundry day. i knew first i wanted to vacuum the house. and i'm not the kind of asshole that will do that while mom is asleep. i at least waited until she woke up. so, i've got one more load of laundry to do and i will hopefully have that done before 7 PM tonight.

i do hope everyone had a good Mother's Day yesterday. 

a couple of my close friends have been wanting me to watch Baby Reindeer on Netflix. i finally got around to it yesterday. some of that crazy shit hit pretty close to home. but, i do understand why they thought i would like it.

 so, we're under a tornado watch until midnight. damn good thing i started my laundry this morning. the third load is in the dryer right now. between that, updating my iPhone and getting the appointment for the oil change for the Highlander set, this has been a day of constant fucking chaos. i did sneak in a little nap. i almost managed three hours straight of sleep last night. at least when i woke up at 8 this morning, i actually felt like i got some rest. that was a change.

now, i have to figure out dinner. part of me just wants to order a fucking pizza so i can sit back and relax tonight. the other part of me knows there is plenty of food in the house.

decisions, decisions...

oh, for those of you keeping track of such things, when i got the blog done last night, i made mom go out walking with me. we went around the cul de sac in about 15 minutes. she's like a puppy sometimes when she gets outside... so excited she doesn't realize how fast she is walking with her rollator. if i had her on a leash, i would have had to pull it a few times...

 since i really don't want to be doing laundry this upcoming weekend (my 48th birthday is on Sunday), i decided laundry day was going to be today. but first, i needed to go to the post office to drop off some mail. i was going to take it out to the mailbox at 3 in the morning, but it was snowing and 4 degrees outside. after the post office, i went to the bank. after that, i went and got some gas at Kroger. i usually like to have a full tank of gas in the winter, just in case.
