i'm a pretty competitive asshole. i really do appreciate when a team has a team reeling and steps on their neck and ends it. that's how i was raised. that's how we played basketball where i grew up. so, while watching Dayton play last night, they had the perfect opportunity to step on the neck of Purdue Fort Wayne. their coach, a man that's determined to send me to an early grave, declined. he chose to slow the game down, waste time, annoy the living shit out of me. i have no doubt i had fumes coming out of my ears. Dayton won the game 91-80. they should have won by over 20. i'm only bitching because style points are included in the new RPI like system the NCAA is using this year. and since last night was the last cupcake Dayton will have for awhile, they should have destroyed them. on a side note, it was nice to see Josh Cunningham back in the lineup. Dayton will play Butler on Wednesday down in the Bahamas.
NJPW was good last night.
VICE was very interesting last night.
the season finale of Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.
Mike Judge Presents: Tales From the Tour Bus was part 2 of the Rick James story last night. i forgot how much he and Prince rivaled each other back in the day. that certainly brought back some memories.
both episodes of Room 104 last night were fucking great and fucking bizarre.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Shut Up and Dribble, Saturday Night Live, ROH and Austin City Limits. i'll be watching NXT Takeover: War Games 2 for most of the evening.
Ohio State plays at Maryland today at noon. i really hope they aren't looking ahead to next week already.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Florida. i was a little surprised at the trade the Rangers made yesterday. but, it was trash for trash, so hopefully a new place for Ryan Strome will get the best out of him. i won't miss Ryan Spooner much.
i don't think the weather is supposed to be great this weekend, so i think i'm going to be indoors for most of it. i'll be on here tomorrow sometime in the morning i suppose.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

when the windchill makes it feel like it is in the single digits, to me at least, that means winter is here. and of course, i was out there in shorts getting the newspaper this morning. good times.
so, i mentioned to the muse last night that Sade had a new song out. you would have thought i told her that i just gave her a million dollars. that brought about a conversation that went to 3 in the morning. honestly, if this woman isn't the one i'm supposed to spend the rest of my life with, i am truly fucking doomed.
the New York Rangers pissed away a 2 goal lead in the 3rd period last night and lost to Detroit, 3-2 in OT. needless to say, i wasn't and still am not fucking happy about it. the Rangers play tonight in Columbus.
VICE was excellent last night.
Mike Judge Presents: Tales From the Tour Bus last night was great. i never knew about the connection between Rick James and Neil Young.
both episodes of Room 104 last night were fucking weird.
NJPW was good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was very funny last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Shut Up and Dribble, Saturday Night Live, Austin City Limits and ROH.
Ohio State plays at noon today at Michigan State. if Ohio State wants any chance to make the playoffs this year, they have to win today.
i don't know if mom is going to the Dayton game tonight against Coppin State. i do plan on going, even with the weather being this cold.
if for some reason i don't go to the game, i will probably try to get some writing done tonight.
i will be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays. that game will go right into the New Orleans Saints game. and i know i won't get a blog done if i wait until both games are over.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

there was a cold sunshine this morning when i went out to get the paper. i really would just like a few days of no rain. that would be splendid for my back.
i did remember to turn the clocks back last night.
Shut Up and Dribble was really good last night. of course, no one who needs to watch it probably will.
Saturday Night Live was very funny last night.
Austin City Limits was excellent last night.
ROH was very good last night.
the Alabama vs. LSU game was a dud last night. i'm not sure if anyone is going to beat Alabama this year.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Axios, the season finale of The Deuce, Camping, Last Week Tonight, Ray Donovan, Kidding and Our Cartoon President.
the New Orleans Saints play later today at home against the Rams. the winner of this game will basically control their own destiny in the NFC. i'm really hoping the Saints find a way to give the Rams their first loss this season.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Buffalo. hopefully the Rangers can keep their winning streak going.
it's hard for me to believe, but the Sacramento Kings might actually be good this year. they play this afternoon at Milwaukee.
i'm hoping to get some writing done before the Saints game today. i've got one poem swimming in my head. hopefully, there are more.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday will be even better.
i'll most likely be on here tomorrow after a trip to the bank.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
there is no greater joy in my life than having my back seize up while i'm grocery shopping. and today was the perfect snapshot of my life. i'm over looking at fruits and vegetables and my back just seizes up like i was fucking shot with a machine gun. so there i am, standing frozen like an elderly person lost in thought when this totally amazing light skin black woman walks by. DAMN. the closest i think i have ever seen to perfection in this fucking state in 42 years. all i could think was this is the story of my life. right before i see beauty, i get a reminder that i'm closer to death with every fucking second. i did a quick crack of my back and swallowed deep, as the pain was fucking horrible. the rest of the time in the store was one where i had to dig deep to find the pleasure in the pain. if i have a tombstone, that is what is going on it... here lies J.J. Campbell, a two bit poet who found the pleasure in the pain.
i've spent a good portion of today dealing with some crazy white woman from TNT (Trinidad & Tobago) that is pissed off that i didn't reply to her comments on my poems. i guess i am supposed to check my published poems every single day like a compulsive asshole to see if anyone has left a comment. oh, these foolish assholes. as i have learned over the years, there is such joy in just blocking these people and removing the negativity from my life.
so, let's start this adventure yesterday afternoon. i was watching WWE Crown Jewel (more on that turd later) and mom handed me the phone because she was going to take a shower. i just happened to look at the phone and noticed there was some voice messages on it. i checked them and wouldn't you know, the Highlander was ready at 8:15 yesterday morning. neither one of us heard the phone. i told mom and we left to go get it.
WWE Crown Jewel was going good until Vince decided he couldn't help himself. he just had to give the fans the middle finger. i didn't mind Hulk Hogan hosting the show. i was never that big of a fan. but, when Shane McMahon ended up winning the Best in the World tournament, that put a taste in my mouth that soured everything in the show. just fucking awful.
we did go to see the Dayton Flyers play last night. first off, the part of the arena that is finished looks amazing. our new seats are going to take some getting used to. i like the fact that we don't have another row behind us. we're sitting in a corner now, so it's a completely different view of the court. i did like the fact that mom wasn't affected as much by the lights and sounds like in previous years. when the arena gets finished, it will look like a smaller version of Nationwide Arena in Columbus. as for the game, i do like this team better than last season. it seems to be a better mix of players. now, i have no clue who is going to be the backup point guard. the defense from Dayton last night really didn't get good until the second half. i think that was mostly due to Capital running out of gas. Dayton is very athletic but can't defend worth shit at most times. any success Dayton has this year will come from their defense being turned into easy buckets. now, i did like the fact that they seemed a little more fluid when it came to offense. i absolutely loved what i saw out of Jhery Matos and Obi Toppin. those two should have amazing first seasons with the team. Dayton won last night 89-71. i'll try to forget that Capital (i think a division III team) was in the lead for most of the first half.
after the game, we went to Waffle House. it wasn't bad when we were the only ones in there. and then came the high school kids. i quickly remembered why i don't like white people who have never spent anytime in their lives around anyone with any sense of another culture. good god, so fucking annoying. this is why i always thank my mother for keeping me in a black high school.
Real Time with Bill Maher was excellent last night.
the final episode of Pod Save America was really good last night.
NJPW was good last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live, Austin City Limits, ROH and Shut Up and Dribble.
i did get up this morning, after about 3 hours of sleep, to watch Manchester United play. thankfully, they came from behind today to defeat Bournemouth 2-1. i'll gladly take those 3 points.
after the game, i went to the grocery store. i had to get a ton of stuff today, mostly because i had a coupon that would give me $11 off if i spent at least $110. my goal is usually to keep everything under $100. so, i made sure to get some stuff that we would need, but maybe not right now; batteries, shit like that. plus, i had plenty of other coupons. the cashier nearly shit when he saw i saved over $64 on the groceries. let's just say we are stocked for a few weeks.
i was at the store when the Ohio State game started. good thing, as my mother said when i got home. today was one of those days Ohio Sate played down to its competition. that frustrates the living shit out of me. but, a victory is a victory. Ohio State defeated Nebraska, 36-31.
i will probably watch most of that LSU vs. Alabama game tonight. that should be, at least i'm hoping, a good one.
i have to remember to turn the clocks back tonight one hour. i hate people who say they get to sleep more with that. fuck you. it's another hour for me to write, explore my imagination, find more pleasure in the pain. and when one of you actually figures out what i mean by that, you'll understand me even more.
i will probably be on here tomorrow in the morning most likely. the New Orleans Saints don't play until 4:25, so i'll have plenty of time to get one done tomorrow morning.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday night. call if you need bail money.
