saying goodbye to the queen

anyone who has followed or had the misfortune to read this blog for any length of time knows my love of music. i was raised on it from the womb. the music of Motown was certainly a staple in my upbringing. and Aretha Franklin is a voice that i certainly remember from those early years. so, with her passing this morning, i have dug out the old songs and have been listening away. i'm an old soul, that's for sure. rest in peace to the queen of soul. there will certainly never be another one. now, the crazy thing to think about is Elvis, Aretha and Babe Ruth all died on August 16th.

the New York Yankees played like shit last night and lost to Tampa 6-1. and of course they lost on a night they could have made up a game on Boston. hopefully, the Yankees win today to win the series.

NXT was pretty good last night. i'm really looking forward to NXT Takeover: Brooklyn 4 this Saturday. it should be amazing.

Lucha Underground was really good last night.

Big Brother was good last night. i can't believe Rockstar actually gave Tyler the correct answer, even as a mistake in the Veto competition. she should get sent to the jury tonight just on that alone.

i didn't sleep worth a fuck last night. between the rain and my arthritis, it was pointless. maybe 3 1/2 hours at best. i've had longer naps in my life. so god knows at some point today, i will crash. i think coffee is the only thing keeping me awake at the moment.

i just had to get up and walk. i went into the front room and of course it's raining outside. mark my words, sometime before i die, i will live in a desert. be it sahara, death valley, gobi, mojave, wherever, it might be my only chance to escape this fucking pain.

and when your mother says yeah, you were right...

we got to mom's appointment this afternoon 30 minutes early. we had to go to the post office first and mom thought there was going to be traffic. i'm old enough to know just let her have her way and deal with the outcome when it happens. we were out of that appointment before her actual appointment was scheduled. we decided to go to lunch after that. during lunch, mom was talking about not having any friends because my father was such a fucking embarrassment. i told her if you would have listened to me and call his bluff and divorce him when i was 8, just imagine where you would be now. she sighed and said yeah, you were right. i could see nothing but guilt on her face. i hate traveling down these roads with her as it will lead to nothing good. boy genius wins again. and i can tell mom does feel bad for the way my father treated me. it makes me laugh. where the fuck was that when he was doing it? hindsight does fucking nothing for me now.

the New York Yankees completed the sweep of the White Sox last night, 7-3. Stanton hit his first grand slam with the Yankees and Severino pitched his best game in a month to finally get his 15th win of the season. they start a series tonight at home against the Texas Rangers. hopefully, they will keep winning.

NXT was really good last night.

Lucha Underground was excellent last night.

Big Brother was good last night. i really hope Bayleigh is evicted tonight and the first in the jury house.

and suddenly, the cool breeze has gone away...

i knew when mom said she wanted to go to the local grocery store today, she was feeling better. of course, we were gone for less than a hour and she was pooped by the time we got back. her blood sugar has finally started approaching "normal" numbers. i'm hoping this injection will do her some good, but it's also a matter of her wanting it to. and she wonders why i tell her she's on the back side of the circle now.

the trip to the bank yesterday was interesting. the teller was this beautiful and i mean fucking beautiful black woman named Alexis. she had to be in her early 20's i believe. she had these neon blue fingernails that will soon be dancing in my poems, trust me. i hope to god i see her again. that's the kind of woman you can write books about.

i got home in time to watch the New York Yankees play like shit and lose to Baltimore 7-5. mostly, it was Sonny Gray that shit the bed, during and after the game. thankfully, Lance Lynn came in and gave the Yankees a chance. but, the offense left a small village on base. they pissed away a chance to get closer to Boston. instead, they are now 5 1/2 games out and start a 4 game series in Boston tonight. they will need to win at least 3 out of 4 if they truly have any fucking desire to win this division.

i was not surprised when the Urban Meyer news hit last night. and i will not be surprised if/when Ohio State fires him. Urban has never learned it's a different world we all live in now.

NXT was excellent last night.

Lucha Underground was really good last night.

Big Brother was good last night. i truly hope Rachel gets evicted tonight and the side of the house that believes they are in power are dumbfounded once again. this has been the best season in years.

i think the first NFL preseason game is tonight. i might watch a little, but not much of it.

i did watch a little of the MLS All-Star game last night.

my father would have been 72 years old today. thank god he isn't.

i have spent the majority of the day helping the muse deal with some corporate racist shit at her job. that's always fun. thank god i have plenty of experience helping black women with their grievances against stupid white people. that's also sad that i have been helping since the early 90's with this shit.

the New York Yankees lost yesterday at Tampa 3-2. when they don't win the division this season, all these fucking losses to Tampa will be the reason. but, it does look like the Yankees are making another trade. nothing is official yet, but getting a solid starter and the best reliever on the market and staying under budget is good business i think. the Yankees start a series tonight at home against the Royals.

Manchester United played one of the crazier games i have seen last night against AC Milan. the game finished 1-1. so they went to penalty kicks after that. 26 fucking kicks later, United won 9-8. fucking crazy.

NXT was great last night.

Lucha Underground was really good last night.

Big Brother was good last night. i don't care who gets voted out tonight, Kaitlyn or Rockstar. either will have the chance to get back into the house. hopefully, they fail.

and the muse waltzes right back in...

there are times in my life where chaos seems to be the only thing keeping me alive. check off yesterday as one of those days where chaos slipped through the cracks and made a fucking party out of things. first off, the woman from Italy has turned a bit sketchy here lately. ever since i told her i couldn't afford to buy her a phone, more or less any communication was pretty much over. and for the last 3 days, i have asked her repeatedly if she was messing around with someone else and she has refused to answer the question. i'm old enough to know what that means. and today she sends me a picture of her pussy and the first thing that pops into my mind was, didn't you tell me your phone was fucked up? the more i have thought about things, the more i'm realizing this is a fucking scam. thank fucking god i was only robbed of time and not any money.

any longtime fans of this blog or my writing knows of the muse. the last woman i was in love with and we had a disastrous falling out and haven't really spoke much over the last couple of years. a few months ago, we passed messages back and forth and i guess that sort of broke the ice. yesterday, we just started talking and talking and then everything came out. some truths i never knew, an apology on my end that was way overdue and my tendency to become a little poetic at times when speaking to someone that i have shared so much with. i can't say that the muse and i are "us" again. i can't say that "we" is an appropriate term for whatever the muse and i happen to be. but, while writing a 2 page letter to her last night, i truly hope that the possibility of anything is on the table with the muse. even though i'm pretty damn sure we drive each other crazy, who am i to say that isn't something i deserve? the muse had never given me her address before. and yesterday was the first time the muse ever admitted to me she was in love with me at one point. so, as i told her yesterday, may our better angels within us find something to bring happiness to our lives.

it amazes me at times that anyone at all has any feelings for me. i certainly don't love myself enough to warrant anything like this. that being said, i'm 42 years old now. i'm much closer to death than i want to realize. i don't want to die and know i never had at least one fucking relationship with a woman in my life that was something close to fucking magical.

i figure at some point tonight, a flood of poems will be coming. and it hasn't been lost upon me that all of this has happened since the anchor in my life was finally let go.

NXT was really good last night.

Lucha Underground was excellent last night.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. i have no clue who is being evicted tonight, although if Brett is evicted, i do hope Sam uses her power on him. i wouldn't mind if Winston gets evicted tonight at all.

the rare day of sleeping in...

when i got up this morning around 6 to piss, i just felt so fucking tired that for a change, i decided to go back to bed. amazingly, when i woke up again it was almost 10 in the morning. so much for getting anything done in the morning. hell, i was drinking coffee when i'm usually eating lunch.

apparently my bitching worked. i got the copies of my new chapbook in the mail yesterday. just 15 days after they were mailed. so, if you would be interested in an autographed copy of the taste of blood on christmas morning, email me (jcampb4593@aol.com) and i'm sure we can work something out. if you are interested in getting the book from the publisher, go here:

World Cup Update:
Croatia shocked England with a goal in the second segment of extra time to win 2-1 yesterday. that sets up a World Cup final of France vs. Croatia on Sunday. i picked Croatia as the dark horse in this event 3 weeks ago in this blog. i figure i'll probably stick with that now that they are in the final. the third place game will be Belgium vs. England on Saturday.

the New York Yankees got some good pitching from Sonny Gray (finally) last night and hit 3 home runs to split the series with Baltimore, 9-0. the Yankees start a series tonight in Cleveland.

i will be on here in the morning tomorrow as mom's appointment is in the afternoon. i have to do the grocery shopping after that.

i finally got to talk my lover in Italy today. just a day after our first month together, we had a nice argument. ah, love. i think she understands my financial situation a bit better now. if she stays with me knowing that, i will be even more impressed.

sometimes, the nightmares make me smile...

the one thing i truly hate about it being warm at night is my mind is never even fucking close to shutting off. and as much as i want to believe i could get a good 5 hours of sleep if i wanted to, there would be no more than probably 30 fucking minutes of my mind just being blank. now, the writer in me loves this shit, as there is always material. but, it is also the equivalent of burning the candle at both ends. and at age 42, i also understand it's a damn good way to make sure you die before 50.

i spent my 4th of July masturbating to women selling bra & panties on QVC and HSN, listening to mariachi music and watching professional wrestling. i can't think of anything much more American than that. and of course, the hot dog eating contest.

i did do a little poetry work yesterday. i believe i know where my next 37 poems are going. i'm shooting to have those out this weekend most likely, or early next week.

the New York Yankees defeated Atlanta yesterday 6-2 to win the series. unfortunately, Gleyber Torres got hurt and is now on the disabled list (right hip strain). hopefully, he won't be out too long. the Yankees are off today and start a series tomorrow night at Toronto.

the guys came out and did the official measurements for the new windows this afternoon. those will be in by the end of summer, if that ever comes. it will be really nice to have new windows in. the ones in now are original to when the house was built in the 90's.

so there was 25 minutes of my life i'll never get back

so my checking account with Chase got suspended today due to suspicious activity. Debbie had requested me to send her some money out of the donations, so i did. of course, that was my 3rd transfer of money in 6 days, so i can understand why there was some suspicion. of course, i told Debbie back in the beginning how much easier it would be to just have it directly deposited into her account, but what the fuck do i know. so, after 25 minutes of me finally remembering the PIN number to a debit card i haven't used in over a decade and explaining why i am wiring the money, they sent the wire through and unlocked my account. the funniest part of this was the guy's reaction to me not having a cell phone where he could send a verification code to. he was so dumbfounded, he had no clue how to talk to someone from a previous century.

hopefully, since someone gets paid in a few days, i won't have to wire any money for a few weeks. of course, knowing how things ago, i'll probably have a request tomorrow.

Colombia defeated Senegal 1-0 this morning. Poland defeated Japan 1-0. this afternoon, Belgium defeated England 1-0 and Tunisia defeated Panama 2-1. so now the final 16 are set.

can't you tell i just love taking pictures.

since it's supposed to feel like 105 degrees when i normally go to the grocery store tomorrow, i'll be going in the fucking morning. so, if all goes well, (go ahead and laugh), i'll be blogging tomorrow afternoon. at least i won't be missing any World Cup games as the round of 16 doesn't start until Saturday.

a little World  Cup update:
i watched most of Denmark and Australia this morning. it ended in a 1-1 draw. right now France is leading Peru 1-0 in the 82nd minute. Argentina and Croatia play later today.

the New York Yankees were down 5-0 to Seattle last night and i was not happy. but, the sign of a great team is their ability to never quit. and that is exactly what the Yankees did last night. they chipped away and eventually Gary Sanchez tied the game at 5 in the 8th with a huge two run homer. in the bottom of the 9th, Giancarlo Stanton had his first signature Yankee moment. the Yankees won 7-5. they will go for the sweep this afternoon.

thanks to everyone for the compliments regarding the poems today. i really do appreciate them more than i will probably ever let on.

seeing a vision from my future (hopefully)

so the grocery store called today and said all my pills were ready, so i said fuck it. i would just do the grocery shopping today, especially since i don't want to miss Spain vs. Portugal tomorrow. so, i had to go to Meijer to pick up some things mom needed that Kroger doesn't sell. i found a few things i needed as well. then, i went to the grocery store. i was cruising along, finding everything and then about the time i got over to the produce, HOLY SHIT. there was this dark skinned, beautiful black woman standing by the tomatoes. she looked almost exactly like the woman in Rome i have been chatting with. skin, hair, ass to die for, and my penis could recognize it as well. i played it off as best as i could. of course, i saw this woman again in the deli, the bakery, the frozen foods and the checkout. if she would have got in the lane i was in, i might have actually worked up the courage to say hello. and of course, today was the day i just threw on some clothes to get a few things done and get back home. fuck my life.

the New York Yankees lost last night to Washington 5-4. for some damn reason, Sonny Gray can't pitch worth a shit at home. hopefully, the boys can't get back to winning tonight at home against Tampa.

the games tomorrow will be Egypt vs. Uruguay, Morocco vs. Iran and Spain vs. Portugal. i'll be on here tomorrow after those games are over.

my sister is coming down tomorrow night. i guess we are celebrating mom's birthday tomorrow night instead of Saturday. i believe mom wants Chinese food, so i guess i'm the lucky one to listen to her bitch about her legs swelling up from all the salt on Saturday. joy.

what a long ass day...

between phone calls, poems to type, arthritis flaring like a motherfucker, lunch, a car with the air conditioning fucking up while you can't roll the windows down because your mother has allergies, to whatever the fuck else... just a long ass day...

first, an update on my friend Debbie Kirk. she had her first appointment today. she really likes where she is going to get treated at. that's good, since i encouraged her to go there. plus, she's a little scared but feels like the staff is truly looking out for her and wants to help. i've told her repeatedly to find the positive and hold on to it. it will help so much during cancer treatments. i'm going to be in charge of the gofundme account now i guess, which i told Debbie i would gladly do so she didn't have to worry about anything other than beating cancer. and don't worry, any money donated is going to go directly to Debbie. please donate anything you can by going here: https://www.gofundme.com/5m0wfqg

i wrote 15 poems while mom was in physical therapy this afternoon. this was her last session as her therapist said there's no reason for mom to come to her last two if her allergies are going to be this bad in the summer. i typed up the poems after we got home from lunch. i really like a few of them.

mom's former employer is forcing her to go to a different doctor to get tested once again because they basically refuse to believe that she is disabled and unable to work. this is more or less because of how much money she was making at the end of her stay at the hospital and they only want to put out that kind of money if they are getting something out of it. fucking greedy assholes. so, mom had to move her injection in her back to a later date so she can jump through their fucking hoops once again.

the New York Yankees won last night over Toronto, 3-0 in 13 innings. i watched nearly the whole fucking game. if they would have lost that, i would have been beyond pissed. thankfully, they didn't. they are off tonight and start a series with the New York Mets tomorrow night.

the end of the month...

we got over 2 inches of rain yesterday and last night. you can imagine the amount of shitty sleep i got. and since mom didn't want any coffee this morning, i didn't make any. joy.

i wrote 11 poems today while mom was in her physical therapy session. that brings my total for the month to 67 poems. that's 1 more than last month. i don't see this type of production staying up during the summer, but who knows. i did type up the poems i wrote today when we got home. i do like a few of them. i will probably do my next round of submissions in the first week of June.

the New York Yankees won last night over Houston, 5-3. that's another series win. they start a series at Baltimore tonight. of course, they are in a damn rain delay at the moment. that's part of the reason this blog is so late.

here are your highlights from Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final last night:

the finale of Being Serena was very good last night.

NXT was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

well, i found something that will make me sleep

i took a muscle relaxer around 11 last night. i fell asleep around 2:30 and didn't see the clock until 8:30 this morning. 6 hours of sleep is a fucking eternity to me. mom thought i shouldn't be driving today. i laughed and reminded her, i was the designated drunk driver in my group of friends.

i had to take her to get a chest x-ray this afternoon. before that, i stopped at the grocery store to pick up a new prescription for her. after her x-ray, we went to lunch. after lunch, we went to the Dollar Tree to look for some shit. she didn't find anything. of course, i did. i'm a cheap fuck, let's be honest. dollar stores are right up my alley.

i wrote 4 poems today. i typed those up and liked a few of them. in other poetry news, i heard back from Easy Street on my recent poetry submission. they decided to pass. my unpublished file is way too fucking big for my liking at the moment. hopefully that will change in the next month or so.

the New York Yankees lost last night at Texas, 12-10. they had two different big leads in the game and their pitching blew both of them. oh well, there goes the series winning streak. they are off tonight and will start a series with the Angels at home tomorrow.

well, the Stanley Cup Final is set. Washington vs. Vegas. hopefully it will be a good series.

here are your highlights from the NHL and NBA playoffs last night:

NXT was pretty good last night.

Being Serena was good last night.

i have to take mom to her foot doctor in the morning tomorrow. after that, i believe we are going to go to Menards since we will be already up near there. they are having a big holiday weekend sale i think.

i should be on here after all that.

goodbye for now kids...
