one of those unexpected moments...

Drew Brees threw his 500th and 501st touchdown passes yesterday. when the Saints were up and the Ravens were driving, i was really hoping the defense would find a way to make a stand. silly me, the Ravens went right down the field and scored a touchdown. thanks to an act of Mother Nature, the Ravens kicker, who had NEVER missed an extra point in his professional career, missed the kick. Saints won 24-23. that's a huge fucking win on the road and that gives Drew Brees a victory over every team in the NFL.

the New York Rangers lost to Calgary last night, 4-1. to be honest, i didn't watch much of the game at all. i figure there's going to be plenty of games like that this season.

America to Me was pretty good last night. the series finale is next week.

Shameless was great last night. i'm a little pissed the show won't be on again until January, but i'll get over it.

Kidding was fucking great last night.

The Deuce was excellent last night.

Camping was pretty funny last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Stolen Daughters: Kidnapped by Boko Haram. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i woke up this morning to 5 poems being rejected by North of Oxford. not exactly the way i hoped to start a Monday, but oh well.

i will be on here tomorrow after mom has her eye surgery on her left eye and after Manchester United plays Juventus in the Champions League.

physical therapy went very well today. i don't have to go back. my therapist showed me another exercise to add to my routine. i told him i've been doing the stretching and exercises four times a day here the last few days and the back has really responded. so, that will be the plan going forward. hopefully, i won't have to have any physical therapy for the rest of the year.

i mailed off my mother's and my absentee ballots today. so i guess i'm back in the system now.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

Entonces, ¿alguna sugerencia para cenar esta noche?

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...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

it's not easy doing math on the fly in a damn zoo...

i don't know what makes the grocery store a fucking zoo at 2 in the afternoon on a Friday in October. is it the possibility of fucking snow in the air tomorrow night? is it the rush to get shit done before high school football? is it the need to buy lottery tickets? ok, i do understand that one. if the line wouldn't have been 15 fucking people deep at the time, i probably would have got some tickets as well. anyways, i was able to get everything on the list and keep it under $100. mom was fucking shocked.

a little poetry update. i did send out 23 poems this morning. 3 to Red Eft Review (already heard back, 1 accepted for publication) and 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Academy Of The Heart And Mind, Fourth & Sycamore and North of Oxford. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

i did watch plenty of LeBron's first game for the Lakers last night. now, as a Sacramento Kings fan, to watch the Lakers lose was delicious to see. but, i am also a LeBron fan and i am fascinated to see the circus this season with him on the Lakers. let's just say, he didn't disappoint last night.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty funny last night.

Young Sheldon was very funny last night.

Will & Grace was fucking hilarious last night. i swear the show is just as good as it was back in the day.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW, Real Time with Bill Maher and Pod Save America.

i'll probably watch some hockey at some point tonight as well.

i will be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays at Chelsea in the morning.

i'm not expecting to be in a good mood.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

Un día, la musa se dará cuenta de lo mucho que la amo.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

nightmares no longer scare me

my poem "nightmares no longer scare me" has been published at North of Oxford. you can find the poem by going here: https://northofoxford.wordpress.com/2018/08/15/nightmares-no-longer-scare-me-by-j-j-campbell/

response from North of Oxford

i heard back from Diane at North of Oxford on my poetry submission from the other day. my poem "nightmares no longer scare me" has been accepted for publication. the poem will be published on August 15th.

nothing a little dirty talk couldn't fix...

i don't want to get ahead of myself, but i'm really hoping this woman i've been speaking to in Rome the last few days is the real thing.

i sent out 31 poems today. 5 each to North of Oxford, Horror Sleaze Trash and Synchronized Chaos (already accepted); 6 poems to Record Magazine and 10 poems to Squawk Back. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

today the humidity has been fucking unbearable. beyond the air you can wear. this was the type of day where the temp was only in the 70's and your balls were still sweating.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i thought they did a decent job setting up their portion of Money in the Bank this weekend.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown and Deadliest Catch. i'll watch 205 Live on the WWE Network sometime tonight.

the New York Yankees start a 2 game series at home tonight with Washington. hopefully the Yankees can get on another long winning streak.

i'm almost hoping it rains soon to get this fucking humidity out of here. i'll accept the pain for that.

i had to take mom to the grocery store today. she wanted me to go get her pills but i reminded her, since she's got new insurance, she had to go. that was a fucking fiasco. i believe we were at the pharmacy for around 30 minutes because Medicare didn't want to pay for this one medication unless it was from a certain manufacturer. i can understand why so many elderly people just wish to die. we also had to get some things she forgot when we were at the store on Friday. all in all, we were in there for a little over 60 minutes.

the trash is done so now i'm off to go ice down my back in my massage chair.

see you tomorrow kids.

Potrei passare tutto il giorno a parlare con una regina dalla pelle scura
