i wanted to get up early this morning since mom had a doctors appointment at noon. so, when the phone rang and woke me up at 10, i was like oh shit. i got mom up, took my one pill and then took a piss. thankfully, not my first rodeo, so we did get to the appointment on time. now, on the way there, the check engine light came on. well shit. the earliest appointment i could get for it was Nov. 5th. well shit. good thing i have already voted.
i did write 3 poems last night. i got them typed up and saved, etc. i will hopefully send some poems out later tonight. fingers crossed.
the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Florida, 3-1.
Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage was good last night.
the season finale of The Old Man was excellent last night.
NJPW was good last night.
the USWNT won last night over Iceland, 3-1.
i did watch a little of the Rams vs. Vikings last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
Game 1 of the World Series is tonight. Yankees at Dodgers. first time they have faced off in the World Series since 1981.
i know Ohio State plays tomorrow at noon, so i will hopefully be on here before they play Nebraska.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
today is one of those days that is so tattooed on my brain that i never want to live it again but i also can't help but remember damn near everything about it.
yesterday was one of the crazier baseball games i have ever seen. the Yankees were being no hit for over 10 innings. the game was still 0-0 against the Brewers. the Brewers finally took the lead in extra innings but the Yankees finally got a hit in the 11th and tied the game. the Brewers took the lead in the 12th and the Yankees tied it again. finally, the Yankees won the game in the 13th inning, 4-3. but it wasn't all happy as the Yankees revealed that The Martian has a torn UCL and needs Tommy John surgery. fuck me. they start a series tonight in Boston.
the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at home over the Titans, 16-15. it was kind off odd not having Sunday Ticket anymore. but, i'm sure i will get used to just following the Saints on my phone.
i made a little money last night on the games, thanks to the New York Giants for laying an egg against the Cowboys.
i totally forgot that The Masked Singer was on last night.
Big Brother was good last night.
Heels was really good last night. the season finale is next week.
Billions was great last night.
The Chi was very good last night.
Power Book IV: Force was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw. i'll be watching the Jets vs. Bills game for most of the night i imagine.
i did listen to episode 464 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can here that by going here:
i decided i better do my laundry today rather than hunt for clean clothes to do the grocery shopping in tomorrow. hopefully, i'll get it done before all the shit starts tonight.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.
The Voice was excellent last night. hopefully, it will be tonight as well.
i did watch a little of the Cowboys beating the Eagles last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NXT and The Voice.
the Yankees start a massive 3 game series tonight in Toronto. they have a 1 game lead over the Red Sox for the first wild card spot.
the New York Rangers play their second preseason game tonight. i'll actually get to see some of it on the NHL Network i think. they lost their first game to the Islanders 4-0. hopefully, they do a little better tonight.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done and after Manchester United plays in the Champions League. i'm hoping i will be in a good mood.
i need to pick up the trash and probably fold some clothes here soon, so that's all for me kids.
until tomorrow...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.

happy July 1st. today, at least here, starts 4 fucking straight days in the 90's. holy shit. let's just say going to the grocery store was a fucking chore today. on top of that, i had to go to the bank and mom's order from Omaha Steaks was delivered today. thankfully, it didn't sit out in the damn sun too long (fingers crossed).
Manchester United won 3-0 yesterday over Brighton. icing on the cake happened today when the two teams ahead of them dropped points today. so, i honestly think United can finish this season in 3rd place and not need a court ruling to help them make the Champions League next season.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night.
i wrote 5 poems last night. one of them had been stuck in my head for 5 days. thankfully, i typed them up last night around midnight. all of them are pretty good.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be NXT and AEW.
the grocery store was a bit of a zoo today. but, the number of fine ass women out was simply jaw dropping at times. i managed to keep everything under $100, but i probably could have spent a few more hours in the store just watching.
i'm not sure what i'm doing for dinner tonight. i imagine it will be something to make room for the food from Omaha Steaks. we should have a really good weekend eating, that's for sure.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. hell, i didn't have breakfast today until around noon.
that's all for me kids...
until tomorrow.
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.

i hope everyone has a great weekend, all things considered. stay healthy.
remember when it was in the 70's the other day and i was somewhat happy? fuck, neither do i. there's a fucking freeze warning for tonight and there was just enough drizzle to make my arthritis dance this morning. i'm normally not a complete fucking asshole on most days. today was not one of those fucking days. let's just say when mom and i went to the grocery store to fix their fuck up from the other day, costumer service was not up to what i believe would be the lowest of fucking standard conditions. their incompetence had me boiling at one point. i bit my tongue, as mom paid for the shit we didn't get. thankfully, the cashier when we were leaving was very understanding and cool. i do understand i don't play well with others. mom tells me all the time that's a problem. she doesn't like my answer. she's read the poems. she understands that if the shit hits the fan, i'll have no qualms with taking my own life. part of me truly believes that she hopes to be dead for a long time before that happens. part of me hopes for that as well. but, who are we fucking kidding...
here is your poetry for this day of National Poetry Month:
the New York Yankees won in 10 innings last night, 4-3 at the Angels. Didi Gregorius is on an amazing tear here lately. and it was really nice to see the team come from behind late to force extra innings when it looked like they were going to piss a game away. they play again tonight.
i did watch a little of the NFL draft last night. so far, i'm okay with what the New Orleans Saints have done.
VICE was really good last night.
NJPW was excellent last night.
Major League Wrestling was okay last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was great last night.
Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas was really good last night.
here are your highlights from the NHL and NBA playoffs last night:
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be ROH.
i'll probably watch some more of the NFL Draft and more of the NHL and NBA playoffs tonight as well.
the Greatest Royal Rumble yesterday was pretty good, even though it certainly did not live up to all the hype the WWE put into it. the Rumble itself was the best part of the event. Daniel Bryan somehow stayed in that thing for over 76 minutes. not bad for your fourth time wrestling in 3 years. i did like that they had Braun Strowman win the event. i love that Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy are now tag team champions. i have no clue how they are ever going to get the title off of Brock Lesnar now. all in all, i thought it was pretty cool that the event was on a Friday. and the network stream was really good, so hopefully that opens the WWE to broadcasting more events from foreign countries.
when Manchester United got scored on 11 seconds into the game today, i almost chuckled. of course, there was a string of about 50 curses in a row instead of the laughter, but i should have known something like this was going to end this month. then Phil Jones couldn't figure out his own feet and scored on his own goal. well, fuck me, no point in watching the rest of the game. and i was truly hoping i could actually enjoy a little alcohol tonight. silly me.
Smackdown was pretty good last night.
i like the direction 205 Live is going in. a 16 man tournament to crown the new champion, with the final match being at WrestleMania. that works for me.
Baskets was pretty funny last night.
Hate Thy Neighbor was excellent last night, especially the last segment. the whole free speech debate in this country is fucking stupid. as the host put it, people have forgot how to mind their own fucking business. and since everyone thinks their opinion is more important than anything else, it's an endless cycle of bullshit.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The X-Files and the season finale of Total Divas. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
well, the snot is no longer running down my throat. now, it is just sort of stuck around my nose. so fucking great. i'd love to break this fucking cold tonight so i could get back to everything i had planned for February. i doubt that's going to happen though.
it's been windy as fuck here today. nothing like going out to get empty trashcans going down the street in a winter coat and house shoes.
i have no damn clue when i'll be on here tomorrow.
well, not quite a tornado but the wind was whipping somewhere around 80 mph while i was running the vacuum in the kitchen. i had to vacuum the whole house today because mom sneezed. i truly love that she is getting crazier as she gets older. like she's going to out-crazy me. please.
the storm knocked down some huge limbs here in the cul-de-sac. i had some solar lights come out of the ground. and of course that's in the part of our front yard that floods.
i did watch a good portion of the Home Run Derby last night. if the world didn't know about Aaron Judge before last night, they sure as hell know who is now.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i especially liked that they decided to keep Samoa Joe in the main event picture. and thank god the Kurt Angle drama will come to a head next week.
The Defiant Ones, Part 2 last night was mostly about N.W.A. i can still remember exactly where i was the first time i heard Fuck Tha Police.
i did write one poem last night after mom's physical therapy session. i haven't typed it up yet. i'm hoping a few more pop in my head before the end of the week.
i had a pretty good trip to the bank yesterday. the one teller that sort of knows who i am, who just happens to be this cute black woman as well, was the one working yesterday. she saw me walk up and smiled. i figure i'm reading too much into that. i made a quick one liner that made her laugh, which i took as a good sign. not good enough for me to engage further or anything. but... she did call me Mr. Campbell when she handed me my receipt. that's a good way to make me feel fucking old.

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. The Defiant Ones, Part 3, Smackdown, Deadliest Catch and The Jim Jefferies Show. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i'll be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to another doctor's appointment and to get some blood work done. joy.
i now have trash to pick up and dishes to do. at least the rain has stopped.

before i go on about Manchester United, a little poetry news first...
i sent out 24 poems today; 3 to Full of Crow, 6 to ZYX and 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Section 8 Magazine and Misfit Magazine. when i hear back from these places i will pass on the verdicts.
i did hear back from Alan at Misfit Magazine. they are in a bit of a holding pattern at the moment and wants me to send again in July.
Manchester United knew all they needed was a draw today to advance to the Europa League final. sadly, that's how they played as well. sometimes they were great but as usual, never clinical. and the rest of the time they simply sat back and gave away chance after chance. thank god Celta Vigo couldn't hit the broadside of a barn for most of the match. now, the red cards late really pissed me off and i do hope that the red card Eric Bailly picked up gets rescinded. i figure it won't, but i can dream i suppose. United will play Ajax in the Europa League final. a win is the only way United can make the Champions League next season.
NXT was really good last night. the upcoming Takeover event in Chicago should be great.
the season finale of Total Divas was actually pretty damn good last night. i think i could watch Lana and Naomi dance forever.
i did watch a little of both Game 7's last night. i was not shocked at all by Washington losing at home and i'm sure the league is happy that Anaheim beat Edmonton.

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lip Sync Battle, the season finale of The Big Bang Theory and the season finale of Life in Pieces.
the New York Yankees start a series tonight at home against Houston. this is the weekend they will retire Derek Jeter's number 2.
i have to take mom tomorrow to get her blood work done again for her upcoming surgery.
so, i was sitting there in the dermatologist's office, waiting for my mother to get called in, when this stunning blonde walked in. and when i mean stunning, i'm talking holy shit beautiful. and i caught myself looking for a ring, which amazingly she didn't have. of course, mom's name got called a few minutes later. and just my luck, the stunning blonde wasn't still in the waiting room when we were leaving. i'm sure it doesn't help matters that i'm rarely in public anymore unless i'm taking mom to an appointment or doing the grocery shopping. it's a recipe to ensure loneliness that's for sure.
i sent out 15 poems last night, 5 each to Easy Street and Live Nude Poems; 2 to Tuck Magazine (already accepted for publication) and 3 poems to Mad Swirl. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.
the New York Rangers will be facing the Ottawa Senators in the next round of the playoffs. i guess we'll see firsthand who won the trade from the off-season. it should be another tough one, but since the Rangers have the better goalie, i'll go with them.
the other matchups in the playoffs are Pittsburgh vs. Washington, Nashville vs. St. Louis and Edmonton vs. Anaheim. there was 18 OT games in the first round. i wouldn't be surprised if they get close to that number again in the second round. the Rangers series starts on Thursday.
the New York Yankees lost yesterday 2-1. a former pitcher for the team shut them down for most of the game. the Yankees had a chance to win the game late. they never could get a big hit though. shit happens. they start a series in Boston tomorrow night.
Silicon Valley was fucking hilarious last night.
Veep was excellent once again last night.
Last Week Tonight was fucking hilarious last night.
Guerrilla was really good last night. for me, Rory Kinnear is the one stealing the show.
Billions was excellent last night. i especially loved the ending. it's what always drew me to the show to begin with, sexual deviancy.
the finale of Feud: Bette and Joan last night was great. the acting that Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange did on this show was amazing.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Gotham. i will be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
El Clasico yesterday was just that, a classic. the game between Real Madrid and Barcelona had everything you could want in a game. goals, violence, controversy, and a winning goal at the death. such an amazing game.
i just realized that Mother's Day is coming up soon. i guess i better figure out what to get her.
i hope everyone had a great Sunday.

so i was in the waiting room of the chiropractor's office today and it was pouring outside. raining so hard that people were thinking twice about going out to their cars. this beautiful older woman was getting ready to leave and she happened to see the rain and think twice. she then sat down right next to me. my arthritis is fucking raging and here is my "dream" woman sitting next to me. long legs, glasses, perfect smell, fuck me i'm in so much pain that i can't even think of small talk at the moment. she eventually looked up from her phone and asked me if it was still raining hard. i told her it had lightened up a bit. she looked out the window and said, well, i might as well go now. if i was a smooth motherfucker, i would have said something. sadly, i'm not. but, at least i know what the next poems will be about.
the New York Yankees lost last night, 7-4. they are certainly going in the wrong direction if they want to make the playoffs. they play Boston again this afternoon.
Big Brother was a recap episode last night, mostly what had happened on the season, a few unseen clips, etc. i think Paul is in the driver's seat to win it all this season. the finale is on Wednesday.
NJPW was excellent last night.
Treehouse Masters was great last night. they were building this awesome structure at Zac Brown's Southern Ground camp. it was amazing.
High Maintenance was fucking hilarious last night. yet another show that makes me miss my days of smoking pot.

i'll probably watch some other college football games as well today.
i'll be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays. hopefully i will be in a good mood.

the rain that i have been feeling in my bones for the last 24 hours or so finally arrived this afternoon. throw in some winds gusting to 40 or 50 m.p.h. and you can imagine the afternoon here. good times.
for shits and giggles, i started up a Soundcloud account today. i figure at some point i might start posting audio of my poems or rants or whatever. so, if any of you are on it, please add me. and if you want to check out my page, you can find it here: https://soundcloud.com/j-j-campbell
Lucha Underground was truly fucking amazing last night. Aztec Warfare II will probably stay on my DVR for years. it truly was an incredible hour that had holy shit moment after holy shit moment.
NXT was really good last night as well. Finn Balor vs. Rich Swann was really good. and the main event between Emma and Asuka was good as well.
the New York Rangers got some puck luck last night and caught a slumping Boston team at the right time. the Rangers won 5-2. that was a tasty victory beer after that one. the Rangers are off to the weekend where they play both days.
enjoy some music kids:
now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be WWE Smackdown and the season finale of Baskets.
the NCAA tournament starts back up tonight so i'll probably be flipping between some college basketball games most of the evening.
i think my sister is coming down tomorrow night for the weekend. hopefully i start to feel better by then.
it feels like i have been on this damn computer all day long.
i might do a little poetry work this weekend and get a few submissions ready for either late March or early April.
i also know that mom and i need to go shopping as she wants to get stuff for Easter and i am running low on birdseed. good times. at least the fucking rain should be out of here by tonight. hopefully.

the sun is actually out today and the rumor is it actually hit 40 degrees. i wouldn't know of course, as i have spent the majority of my day in my room. the life of a poet, so fucking fascinating.
i sent out 14 poems today; 3 to Dead Snakes, 5 to Horror Sleaze Trash and 6 to Bad Acid Laboratories. when i hear back from these places i will pass on the verdicts.
about halfway through the finale of American Horror Story last night, i was thinking what the fuck is this? but, just when i thought it was going to be shit, here comes a wonderful murder scene set to a Marianne Faithfull song. perfection. i really enjoyed the finale from that part on. i'm interested to see where the series goes next.
NXT was really good last night. i didn't agree with all the award winners, but i don't think there could be a "bad" choice in any of the categories. i did enjoy the women's battle royal. it should be interesting to see best friends go against each other in Carmella vs. Bayley. plus, i can't wait to see Sami Zayn and Samoa Joe go at it.

i will probably be on here early tomorrow as i figure mom and i are going to try to go to the Dayton Flyers game tomorrow night. of course, if we don't, the game is on ESPN2.
i hope the sunshine was out today in your neck of the woods. unlike me though, i hope you actually got out and enjoyed it.

the more i get around people, the more i am able to stomach the situation. not that i am more accepting of ignorance or racism, i find myself less likely to simply write those dumb fucks off after a few seconds like before. now, i usually give them a minute or so. progress.
after following mom to return her rental car, we went to Applebee's for lunch. i haven't been to this restaurant in years. the menu was an obvious sign that it had been even longer than i thought. i wanted to get something that wouldn't blow up my stomach, so what better than pretzels, cheese, bacon, ham, turkey, bread and lemonade. i figure i'm doing my best to make sure i'm dead sometime in my 40's. i watched some of the USA soccer game while i was there, but they weren't playing well, so i didn't mind leaving when we did. more on that later.
we went to Menards after lunch. we found stuff for the birds and hopefully some pots that will work for the wildflowers i want to plant. sadly, i think we brought the wind from the farm out here with us. we also got a bird feeder for my uncle. of course, mom made me go over and give it to him while he was sitting out with the neighbors on the other side of his house. meeting new people is not a fun task for me. i did bite my tongue when i noticed the wife of Carl had two black eyes. i was proud of myself not making the obvious domestic violence joke right then and there. as i told my mother when i got home, i deserve sainthood after 25 minutes of listening to my aunt complain about her bad hips. mom, who hit her head while we were at the store, wasn't in the mood. that's always fun.
so after putting out the new flag, the new solar lights, a new hummingbird feeder and putting away the new birdseed, i decided to get online and check some scores. HOLY SHIT. how the fuck did the USA come back and win that game?
more on that after this music break:
when i saw the USA beat the Netherlands 4-3, i thought it was a joke. they were losing 3-1 when i left the restaurant. when i saw the goals that won it, i was really happy. that's the first win EVER over the Dutch. and it is only the 3rd time in 45 years that the team has come back to win after being down by 2 or more goals. talk about an unexpected victory beer. enjoy some goals:
i laughed when i saw that Bobby Wood scored the winner. when i was leaving the restaurant, i was telling mom that he has all the talent in the world but has no fucking clue how to put it together on the national stage. one of the few times where i enjoy being wrong. of course, i truly hope this wasn't simply a case of the sun shining on a dog's ass.
the New York Yankees broke out the long ball once again and entered the 9th inning last night leading 8-1. what happened next had me angrier than shit. the Angels batted around and had the game tying run at 3rd base when the Yankees finally got the last out. a 8-7 win that felt like a damn loss. that was a very angry victory beer.
that anger took a little while to leave me last night. thankfully, i had shit to watch on TV. NJPW was excellent last night. 2 very good tag team matches. i then watched VICE. easily, one of the best news shows around. i highly recommend that EVERYONE watches it.
today is going to be a busy one. i believe mom and i are going to the grocery store this morning. that should be fun. i say that with clenched fists. i'm hoping we're back home before the Champions League final between Juventus and Barcelona. as much as i would love to see Juventus win because of Patrice Evra, i can't imagine Messi not winning another title. after that, it will be time for the Belmont Stakes. i'm really hoping to see a Triple Crown winner this year. it's been too damn long since the last one (1978). i don't know if i'll watch Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final after that or the Yankees play. late tonight it will be ROH and god knows what else is on as i'm trying to get to sleep.
if i manage to sneak in a nap sometime today, i fully expect to get some writing done late tonight.
whatever happens i'll be back on here tomorrow morning.
i hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday. hopefully the weather is good wherever you are. if you are watching the Champions League Final, enjoy the game. if you aren't watching the game, please understand that the rest of the ENTIRE world is, so enjoy your loneliness.
