of course it would be raining...

here's yet another blog i never thought i would be writing. and i'm not exactly sure what the fuck i'm going to write, so this should be interesting.

so, the muse and i talked last night and yesterday some. she wouldn't tell me anything other than she had to turn herself in this morning at 11 AM. i'm assuming she has done that. this morning she asked me if i could get a Uhaul and come see her. mind you, i have no fucking clue where she is. you would have thought my response to her was to go fuck herself because that was her reply to me. i told her that given my mother's condition, i didn't think it was possible. she told me to fuck off, i am full of nothing but empty words and she will never forget or forgive. so, in roughly 6 months or so, i've seen friendships of over 20 and 15 years respectively fizzle out over the unfortunate circumstances the friend finds themselves in and my inability to just snap my fucking fingers and fix it. how the fuck is this my life? now, i'm not fully convinced the muse will never speak to me again, like she has done with countless other "friends" in her life, but i wouldn't be surprised if it was either. as much as i love the muse, you can truly tell she is an only child and has no clue about the words compromise, understanding or friendship. so yeah, my life is fucking full of bad mojo at the moment. joy.

the grocery store yesterday was fucking crazy. mom went with me since she had to fix the pharmacy's fuck up with her Medicare part B. i guess the names didn't match exactly on her prescription and her Medicare account. one had her middle initial and the other had her middle name. this took nearly a fucking hour to fix. good lord. the rest of the shopping took another hour as mom moves incredibly slow anymore. while we were standing in line, she told me she understands why i hate the grocery store. i laughed and said, sure, you don't have to deal with it as much as i have to now.

the Dayton Flyers lost last night at home against Mississippi State, 65-58. you would never know that Dayton was up by 3 at halftime and had a 7 point lead with something like 6 minutes left in the game. and with the stupid mistakes the team made in the final minutes, i really am starting to believe i have forgotten more basketball than Dayton's coach has ever learned. that's 3 losses in a row now. my fear that started last year has surfaced again, especially with the number of fans i heard talking about how good the game was and how Dayton will get them next time, etc... i absolutely hate that it seems to be that everyone has settled with being okay with mediocrity. makes no fucking sense to me.

we went to Waffle House after the game. i could still taste the onions this morning.

but i somehow lost weight from yesterday to today. makes no damn sense to me.

VICE was very good last night.

NJPW was good last night.

Mike Judge Presents: Tales From the Tour Bus last night was part 1 of the James Brown story. it was great.

both episodes of Room 104 were brilliant last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live and ROH.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Montreal. hopefully, they will play good enough to win tonight.

Ohio State plays Northwestern tonight for the Big Ten title. i'm expecting total chaos today in college football. best scenario for Ohio State is Alabama wins, Texas wins and Ohio State blows out Northwestern. that "should" put Ohio State in the top 4 and in the playoffs. a not as great scenario is Alabama wins, Oklahoma and Ohio State wins. that would put Oklahoma in the playoff and Ohio State in the Rose Bowl, screwing that school up north out of that. if Georgia defeats Alabama today, then i think the top 4 will stay the same as i don't think they have the guts to drop Alabama to 5 with a loss. all in all, i just really want Ohio State to win tonight. the rest will take care of itself.

Manchester United plays in a little bit at Southampton. i'd love to see United win, but i'm not holding my breath.

we were up to 1.2 inches of rain when i went out to get the paper this morning. i wouldn't be shocked if we are on our way to 3 inches of rain by now.

i'm running on not much sleep at the moment. my body is running on coffee, hatred and depression at the moment. and the more i get sick of this fucking life, the better the poems get. it's that fine line where i will eventually slip and hopefully die.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money, especially if you happened to be booked into jail this morning...

every blue moon or so, i'll have one of those nights where i apologize to the 8 year old me, fully understanding why suicide would have been the better choice. between watching my teams lose, the agony of love and knee pain, it's amazing i bother to get out of bed some days.

i'm not sure what happened with the muse last night. she called me crying and so damn hysterical, i couldn't make out a damn thing she was saying. and this morning she tells me how i wasn't helpful. she won't talk about it but is sending me clues. if i am reading these correctly, i think the muse may be going to jail soon. yet another sign we were meant to be i guess.

the New Orleans Saints lost to Dallas last night, 13-10. the Saints couldn't find a rhythm on offense for basically the entire game. i'm really hoping the Cowboys just didn't provide the blueprint for the rest of the league.

the New York Rangers lost in Ottawa last night, 3-0.

thankfully, The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon were reruns last night. i'm not sure why the DVR records things i have already watched and deleted.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Will & Grace was very funny last night.

The Last Days of Knight was about the final days at Indiana for Bobby Knight.  it was very good.

Atlanta will be playing Portland this year for the MLS Cup..

i'll be at UD Arena tonight watching the Dayton Flyers take on the #25 team in the country, Mississippi State. i believe mom is going to go to the game tonight with me. it's a sellout and i think the game is on tonight on the CBS Sports Network.

i'll be going to the grocery store before we go to the game. it's foggy as hell today, so this will be fun.

i'll be on here tomorrow in the morning, before Manchester United plays.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i did get all of my Christmas shopping done last night. 7 things for my sister and 7 things for my mother. hopefully they like what i got. i usually do a pretty good job of getting things they like or understand it's for shits and giggles.

i had a nice, long conversation with the muse last night, probably around 2 1/2 hours. i will once again say publicly, if this isn't the woman i'm supposed to spend the rest of my life with, i'm truly fucked.

the season finale of Total Divas was pretty good last night.

NXT was good last night.

my latest SoundCloud recording... "your beauty deserves so much more"

this is a poem i wrote for the muse a few months ago. i told her when it got published, i would record it. here is a link to that recording: https://soundcloud.com/j-j-campbell/your-beauty-deserves-so-much-more-by-jj-campbell

the holidays...

before i get into why i hate the holidays, a little poetry news to get to first.

i sent out 11 poems today. 1 to the AuthorsPress in New Delhi, India for a poetry anthology to be published in 2019, 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash and Academy Of The Heart And Mind. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

coming from a dysfunctional family, i never have liked the holidays. and the more i am removed from my childhood, the more i realize so is any chance of me truly liking them. i can play the part, be civil, etc., but there will never be the pure joy that some people have for these days. so yeah...

i didn't mind who got let go last night on The Voice. all my favorites are still on the show.

Smackdown was pretty good last night. i absolutely loved how Daniel Bryan explained his heel turn.

The Jim Jefferies Show was excellent last night. congrats on becoming an American citizen Jim.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

i did watch both episodes of NXT UK this afternoon. they were excellent.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight against Butler down in the Bahamas. this will be Dayton's first true test of the season. i'm hoping they do well tonight.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the fucking Islanders. i'd really love to see the Rangers win tonight.

my sister came down here this afternoon. i believe she's here for the next few days. this is usually when i realize why alcohol was created in the first place.

i had a great conversation with the muse today. anytime you can have a conversation that ranges from the death penalty to fantasy football to exploding crack pipes to Thanksgiving racism... i truly do hope to marry this woman one day.

i will be on here in the morning tomorrow. Dayton will play tomorrow either at 4 PM or 9:30 PM. i really hope Dayton wins tonight, since the New Orleans Saints play Atlanta tomorrow night.

if anyone still has to travel for tomorrow, safe travels. i hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

Sunday Funday

oh, where to begin? yesterday into this morning was one of those segments of my life where nearly every emotion possible danced through my mind.

Ohio State flirted with disaster yesterday, for the entire game. i did get a good laugh when karma struck in OT and Maryland finally crashed back to reality. on the play before they went for the two point conversion to win the game, it was beyond fucking obvious that it wasn't a touchdown to begin with. i was somewhat shocked they didn't review it, considering how fucking obvious it was. so, and here's where karma strikes, the Maryland quarterback missed an incredibly easy throw that would have won the game for Maryland and make them bowl eligible. Ohio State won 52-51 in OT. it was painfully obvious that Ohio State was looking past Maryland and on to the Michigan game. now, that's all that stands between them and a chance for another Big Ten title.

the New York Rangers defeated Florida last night, 4-2. i didn't watch any of the game. i am happy that The King is now in 7th place in wins for goalies  in NHL history now.

Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night.

Austin City Limits was great last night.

Shut Up and Dribble was excellent last night.

ROH was really good last night.

NXT Takeover: War Games II was fucking amazing last night. and i will bet anyone that it will end up being better than Survivor Series tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Axios, Camping, Last Week Tonight, Escape at Dannemora, Ray Donovan and Enemies: The President, Justice & the FBI.

i'll be watching WWE Survivor Series for most of the evening. i'm only looking forward to two of the matches: Seth Rollins vs. Shinsuke Nakamura and Daniel Bryan vs. Brock Lesnar. i'm really hoping the rest of the matches surprise me.

the New Orleans Saints play this afternoon against the Eagles. i'd love to see the Saints win their 9th game in a row today.

the muse told me she loved me this morning. she knows it's not the relationship i want, but she does love me. i told her that those three words means so much coming from my best friend. and while we don't have the relationship i want (i want to marry this woman one day), i do love our friendship and hope it only gets stronger.

so yeah, sometime today, there probably will be poems.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully, your Sunday will be even better.

never forget

to everyone who has served this nation, died in battle, wounded, scarred mentally for your entire lives, etc., happy Veteran's Day. i heard a veteran say last night that never forget means more to a veteran than thanks for your service. so, never forget.

yesterday was one of those days where i laugh that i'm still alive in 2018.

Ohio State defeated Michigan St. yesterday in a god awful game. as soon as i saw Gus Johnson was calling the game, i knew some crazy shit was going to happen. sure enough, Ohio State's punter was easily the best player in the game. it was like the team turned back the clock a decade. and i love that Michigan St. talked all this shit this past week about revenge and could only score 6 points. Ohio State won 26-6.

the Dayton Flyers destroyed Coppin State last night, 76-46. i went to the game alone and honestly, might have said 5 words the entire time i was there. the game was really fucking boring. the conversations around me were as boring. hell, the only excitement for me was the old white woman next to me that had her ass up against my leg for the entire first half. most action i've got in years.

the New York Rangers won in Columbus last night, 5-4 in a shootout. the Rangers have got points in 6 straight games. that's much better than i was fearing this season would start.

Shut Up and Dribble was excellent last night. it went over the LA riots and really focused on Michael Jordan's inaction during the time, and how Craig Hodges and Mahmoud Abdul Rauf got blackballed out of the league for voicing their concerns. i lived through all of this and remember it way too well.

Saturday Night Live was very funny last night.

Austin City Limits was excellent last night.

ROH was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Axios, Camping, Last Week Tonight, Ray Donovan and the season finale of Kidding.

Manchester United plays Manchester City today. if United wins, not only will i be pleasantly shocked, i will be drunk for the rest of the weekend.

the New Orleans Saints play today down the road from me against the Bengals. hopefully, the Saints will keep their winning streak going today.

the muse and i had a fascinating conversation last night that lasted until 4 in the morning. that certainly brought back some memories.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i know most things will be closed to observe Veteran's Day. and, i want to get some writing done. so, probably late afternoon maybe, maybe sooner.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully, your Sunday will be even better.

okay, so now winter is here...

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.

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.

i woke up this morning from the threat of yet another cramp in my left leg. i told my mother i think maybe it's my inner child fucking with me, waking me up to go piss. joy.

i did send out 10 poems today. 5 each to The Hitchlit Review and Jotters United Lit Zine. i have never sent to either before, so i'm interested to see what the responses will be. when i get the verdicts back, i will pass them on.

i had to go back to the grocery store today. i had more pills to pick up, plus some items i forgot to get for mom yesterday. i told her i completely forgot because i didn't write them down on the list. thankfully, the rain wasn't as bad this morning as it was yesterday.

when i got home from the grocery store, the muse was calling me. for some reason, she likes to call me when she is driving. it's fucking hilarious at times, as she will provide a running commentary of all the fucking stupid drivers out there.

NJPW was pretty good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

Pod Save America was really good last night.

and now some of this and that:

i figure the rest of my day is going to be spent doing my laundry and probably watching some college football.

one of those mornings where death would have been a better option...

i tell everyone i possibly can, never have a bad back. i couldn't get my back loose until this afternoon. mind you, i have been up since about 4 this morning. i'm not even sure if i did sleep. i think it was more just tossing and turning. i think i may know why...

the muse and i had a really intense conversation last night about racism. part of what i feared about being stuck in a small town that has no fucking clue what diversity is, that mentality would start to slip into my mindset. and, apparently it has. using the word stupid when ignorant or hateful would have been a better choice set off an ass ripping that i sorely needed. so, maybe my tossing and turning was more or less me coming to grips with myself. i can only hope to be better after this.

the USA Men's National Team played Peru to a 1-1 draw last night. Peru scored late to get the draw. considering who the USA is missing, i'm pretty happy with the result.

it was the 1,000th episode of Smackdown last night. i thought the show was pretty good, but you could tell it was rushed for time at the end.

mom had a guy come out this morning to give her an estimate on the blinds for the new windows. i think the ones she's getting are going to look really good. if all goes well, they will be installed before Thanksgiving. the guy who is coming to give us an estimate on new doors just rang the doorbell.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the bank.

there's fucking snow in the forecast. they aren't talking any accumulations, but fuck me.

mom's doing well after her eye surgery. i'm hoping the left eye goes just as well next week.

that's all for me kids. i now have to go out and see how much mom is going to spend on doors.

i'll probably be on here tomorrow in the morning. given that the New Orleans Saints are on their bye week this Sunday, it will be a much less stressful one for me, that's for sure.

it never fails, just when you needed a dry day...

the landscaper started working on the property today. when i went to the grocery store, he was getting ready to start taking down the blocks, bricks, etc. he got all the plants out this morning. i was standing in line at the grocery to check out when i noticed it was fucking pouring in the parking lot. i started to wonder if mom got the windows closed before it started to rain. (nope) i got fucking soaked in the parking lot putting the groceries into the Highlander. it never fucking fails.

when i got back home, it did look like the landscaper had got all or at least most of the demo done. i can't wait to see what it looks like when they start putting stuff in. mom said that no water actually got into the house, so that's good. i got all the groceries and kept it under $100.

the New York Rangers lost last night to Nashville, 3-2. i liked what i saw for the most part from the team. they do look like they will be playing hard and fast. and i honestly think, a little better officiating last night and maybe the Rangers come away with something from the game.

the kicker to everything today is the television in my room is now fucking up. the picture goes black every 2 to 3 seconds and then comes backs on. i've only had the damn thing for like 3 years. and people wonder why i hate technology.

safe travels to the muse this holiday weekend. i hope you have a great one.

i have no damn clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. the WWE has an event in Australia that starts at 5 in the morning. if i get up to watch that, i'll try to be on here before Manchester United plays. if that doesn't happen, i might try to squeeze in the window before Ohio State plays. if that doesn't happen, i'll try to be on here before Saturday Night Live comes on. it's going to be another one of those insomnia kicks my ass again nights, i can feel it.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i got into a fascinating conversation with the muse last night and we started talking about politics. many of you know i hate the politics in this country. but, she said something that kind of hit me. if i really want to see things change in this country, i'm not exactly going about it in a way that can do anything. so, i decided to fuck it and i registered to vote. now, i'll be interested to see if the county actually accepts it. if they do, i'm planning on doing an absentee ballot as i know i would probably kill a motherfucker or two if i actually went to vote. i live in a very, very Republican part of this county. the level of ignorance in this town is fucking amazing. it doesn't shock me that i have lived here since 1997 and i rarely talk to anyone. so, as i told my mother last night, the goal will be to fuck up the system from within.

the muse and i have been trading songs back and forth today. i think we could probably talk for days on end about music and never get bored of each other. hell, maybe one of these days that will actually happen.

the New York Yankees lost yesterday at Boston, 10-2. it was basically a spring training game. the Yankees will host Oakland Wednesday night in the wild card game. the winner will play in the division series against Boston. it's finally time for the playoffs.

the New Orleans Saints won 33-18 against the New York Giants yesterday. it was pretty close until Alvin Kamara took over the game in the second half. the Saints play next week at home against Washington.

The Deuce was really good last night.

Ballers was good last night. that season finale is next week.

the season finale of Insecure was excellent last night.

Last Week Tonight was hilarious as usual.

the 100th episode of Shameless was really good last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The Voice. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i have a doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon. i'm hoping to be done with that by the time Manchester United plays in the Champions League tomorrow.

i'm not really looking forward to the doctor's appointment. i know they need to check my numbers for my Type 2 Diabetes and my cholesterol, plus i need a flu shot and my prescriptions refilled. and then there's the laundry list of needing a scan on my left leg to see how much of it is dead. i need a back x-ray to see what the fuck is going on in the middle of my back. if that is as bad as my lower back, i'm fucked. and i'd love to find out what this is on the right side of my stomach. it's internal, so i'm guessing it's nothing good.

and then at some point this week i need to go to the bank, get a haircut, and i need to take mom to the grocery store to bitch out the pharmacist for fucking up her billing. on top of all that, the landscaper is going to start that project this Wednesday i believe.

there's never a dull fucking moment when you're crazy. never forget that kids.

i'm hoping to talk the muse into a plan to take over the world one day. if she says yes, this world will never be the same.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. hard to fucking believe it's already October.

eres la mujer más increíble que conozco

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...
