i went to bed last night at what i thought was a decent time, 2 AM. imagine my joy when i woke up and it was 4:15. i think i'm developing pinched nerves in both of my shoulders. and when a bad back keeps you from sleeping on it... good times. i finally got up at 7.
the Yankees waited until late to provide the fireworks yesterday, but they won over Boston, 5-3. they are now tied with Boston for the first wild card spot. hopefully, they will get another sweep tonight.
Ohio State whipped Akron last night, 59-7. they should have their hands full next week playing at Rutgers.
ROH was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, the season finale of Power Book III: Raising Kanan, BMF, Scenes From a Marriage, Last Week Tonight, Billions and American Rust. i'll be watching WWE Extreme Rules for most of the evening tonight.
somehow, bugs have invaded my bird food and ruined it for the most part. so, it looks after i throw all that shit away, i'll be going to Menard's tomorrow to get new bird food and new containers to put it in. i need to get a new birdhouse as well as the wind destroyed one of the ones i have out here.
i should be on here after i get all that done tomorrow.
i really hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday will be even better.
the New Orleans Saints play today at the Patriots. i would love to see the Saints win today. they are 3 point underdogs.
best of luck to everyone gambling today.

so, i got mom to her appointment this morning on time. everything went well, or at least that was what both of us thought. they took some blood from mom and i guess they called when i was out this afternoon. her sodium is low and she's dehydrated. just fucking lovely. and of course, this is the anniversary of her second husband's death, so she's been fucking emotional all day long. good times.
so, i went out today trying to find some baseball cards. i first went to Big Lots and they didn't have shit. hell, they didn't even have any toys i was interested in getting either. so, i went to the Rite-Aid that is south of where i live. i haven't been there for a month or so but had some decent success the last time i was there. i found 2 Fairfield boxes and a pack of 2020 Donruss Optic football cards. i got all 3 of those and it cost me $18. i made that all back from the football pack of cards alone. add in the hit in the one Fairfield box and the 1999 Topps Roy Halladay in the other box and i made somewhere around $60 in total from the 3. that made me really fucking happy. now, if i could only get some people to start buying some cards off of me...
i'm trying to move my non-sports cards as well. i have some Star Wars, Superman 2, E.T., Batman, Michael Jackson, Garbage Pail Kids, Alf, The Monkees and some WWE cards i'm hoping to sell. and of course, i have plenty of baseball, football, hockey and basketball cards from 1959-2021. if you are interested or know anyone that is, feel free to send me an email (jcampb4593@aol.com) i am definitely looking to move it all.

i was up early enough this morning to see the Europa League draw for the next round of games. Manchester United will be playing AC Milan. oh boy.
the New York Rangers play at home tonight against Boston. i know fans will be back in the building for the first time in a long time. hopefully the boys will give the fans something to cheer about.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. hopefully i will be in bed to a later hour than i was today. nothing like falling asleep around 3 and hearing your mother's alarm going off at 7 AM.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i had a woman ask me this morning for $2,500 so she could get married. what fucking world am i living in? this woman knew i am poor and still asked me. i shouldn't be surprised. i'm now convinced 99% of people on the internet are running a scam of some kind. i suppose this is the only time i'll ever be part of the 1%.
as many of you know, February for this blog, i try to do to a little each post for Black History Month. i think this year will be a video here and there, maybe a few links, god knows what else. i only hope to have people learn something they didn't know before.

mom's physical therapy appointment has been moved up today, so that's about all for today.
we did get almost 2 inches of snow last night. the guys mom use to clean off the driveway did that this morning.
it's actually supposed to be in the 40's and 50's this weekend. so, by Monday, i'm expecting everyone to be sick again.
i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. the Dayton Flyers play in the afternoon tomorrow. if i go to the game, there's a decent chance the blog will be done in the morning. if i don't go, it will be a late afternoon blog, probably.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i didn't say much about the school shooting yesterday in Florida because i quite frankly am just fucking tired of these stories. i'll never understand the need for semi-automatic weapons at all. i'll never understand how any crazy person can legally buy a gun. i'll never understand why the government doesn't have the balls to stand up to the NRA. i've already seen the asshole that runs this nation blame the students and neighbors that didn't say anything. i bet that asshole didn't know that the FBI knew about the shooter 6 months ago. and i can't wait to see how Trump blames this on Obama, not remembering that it was his FBI 6 months ago. and as always, the answer this government will come up with is we need more guns. i guess it won't be until one of their precious children gets slaughtered before it dawns on them that sensible gun control isn't a bad thing after all. of course, i'm wondering how many people need to die before that happens?
the bigger problem in all of this in my eyes is the mental health issues that this country continues to just sweep under the rug. we'd rather spend millions on new missiles than treatment programs or even the basic mental health shit. imagine if you'd take just a fraction of what this country spends on wars and spent that on after school programs and decent mental health programs. of course, you can't make any money that way and that truly is where the problem begins. capitalism makes any of this shit impossible, because you have to make money at every fucking thing you do. and if an industry isn't turning a profit, then it's a failure. it's this flawed view of the world that has this country so fucked.
and now for the conspiracy point of view... i read a story just the other day that gun sales were down and that Remington is filing for bankruptcy. and what happens after school shootings??? renewed calls for gun control and then a hysteria plan of saying the government is coming for your guns. anyone else surprised the NRA would tweet out a call to buy your loved one a gun for Valentine's Day after the school shooting had already happened? you shouldn't be surprised. the beauty of capitalism to some is there are no morals allowed. and it is these assholes leading this fucking nation.
but what should i expect from a nation stupid enough to elect a reality television star to be their president. these clowns wanted fucking chaos. that's exactly what they are getting. and i guess sweeps week must be starting soon... Stormy Daniels claims she has a dress with Trump's sperm on it. the asshole poet inside me smiles. my soul learned long ago that none of this shit matters. we're all just running out the clock, waiting for death.
the Dayton Flyers were awful last night, losing at George Mason 85-67. there's two hours of my life i'll never get back. i'm tempted to go to the game Saturday night just to fucking boo.
NXT was pretty good last night.
Celebrity Big Brother was pretty good as well last night.

and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Lip Sync Battle.
the New York Rangers play tonight at the Islanders. i saw this morning that the rumor is their captain gave the team his 10 team no trade list. that's enough smoke to me to mean the wheels are in motion to trade Ryan McDonagh. if that does happen, given his salary and age, the Rangers should get back quite the haul. if they don't, i will be pissed beyond belief.
i am getting more into the Winter Olympics. basically the hockey is going on now, so i actually have something i want to watch.
i didn't sleep worth a shit last night. i might have got 4 hours at most. between the rain, my arthritis and my bad back... i think the only thing that might have put me to sleep last night would have been heroin.
mom has her physical therapy session this afternoon. i'm hoping i can write some more poems while i'm there. if i do, i'll get those typed up this evening.
i'll probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store.

when Manchester United was trailing 1-0 to Blackburn today, i was not happy. Blackburn is not good, not good at all. thankfully, Marcus Rashford scored to equalize by halftime. things started to drag in the second half, so bring on the super subs... Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. sure enough, those two would join up for the eventual game winner. Manchester United won 2-1. they have advanced to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup. their reward will be a game at Chelsea in the next round. oh joy.
the New York Rangers defeated Washington today 2-1. that was a nice way to kick off Hockey Day in America.
ROH last night was really good. i love that Christopher Daniels is still as good as he is today as he was 15 to 20 years ago.
the NBA Saturday night festivities were ok last night. the 3 point contest was good. the dunk contest was boring. and i love that the big men seem to always beat the guards in the skills competition.

i ran into a cousin at the grocery store today. i'm not a guy that really likes to shoot the shit in public. i'm more of the i have a list and i want to get this shot done type. my uncle is back in the hospital. mom got the phone call last night. who the fuck knows what he has now to go along with the cancer. i told mom though, the family will not be able to stand him dying around Christmas. the joys of the holidays.
thankfully, my Sunday night was much, MUCH better than my Sunday afternoon. i was so fucking angry by the end of the New Orleans Saints game that i thought i was going to have a stroke.
Manchester United was cruising along up 1-0 yesterday at Everton. late in the game, The Special One decided to bring on Marouane Fellaini. like most United fans, i was like WHY? sure enough, less than 3 minutes on the pitch, he fouled a guy in the box and gave Everton a penalty kick. so, for the fifth game in a row in the league, a fucking draw. 1-1. i wanted to blame it all on the shitty officiating, but even i know it was more self inflicted than anything. hopefully this shit will end one day. maybe they can find a team dumb enough to want to sign him in January. or maybe The Special One will just let him rot on the fucking bench for the rest of the season. not the way i wanted to start my Sunday.
the New Orleans Saints couldn't get a stop on defense to save their lives yesterday. and the offense was fucking horrific for most of the game. not a good combination for winning in a game that you really needed. the Lions beat the Saints 28-13. Drew Brees was held without a touchdown at home for the first time in 7 seasons. so you can imagine how my day went in fantasy football as well.
WWE TLC was amazing last night. i loved all the title changes. i loved the main event. it had a little of everything. all in all, it was better than i expected and i was expecting a great one.
Westworld was one of the best mind fucks i think i have ever received. nearly all the questions were answered and honestly, just give anyone connected to the show whatever damn award they are up for. it was fucking great. if you didn't watch the show, do yourself a favor and find it and enjoy the fuck out of it.
Divorce was pretty funny last night.
Shameless was great last night. i'm so emotionally invested since i have watched every episode, i nearly shit myself when Ian got in the car with Mickey at the end of the episode.
i really enjoyed The Affair last night. i never knew Brendan Fraser could play a creep so well.

i went through my mailing list last night and picked out the lucky ones to get something from me this Christmas. so, start looking in your mailboxes in the next few days.
i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow. since there is a basketball game Tuesday night, it's a bit of a clusterfuck.

i had 2 rum and cokes last night and i woke up this morning with a cramp in my left leg. i think it had something to do with Castro, but i'm not sure. the rum is from Cuba.
Keanu was fucking stupid as hell last night but funny as fuck. i laughed my ass off.
Pete Holmes: Faces and Sounds was pretty damn funny as well.
i recorded The Hateful Eight but i'm going to probably watch it sometime over the holidays.

the New Orleans Saints take on Detroit today. the Saints are at home, so i'm expecting a shootout. hopefully i will be enjoying another round or two of victory beers tonight.

last night was one of the more bizarre sports nights i can remember. and it certainly didn't include the amount of alcohol i was hoping for...
for National Poetry Month, i give you:
let's start with the afternoon... Manchester United played much, MUCH better than i thought they were going to. in the second half, Marcus Rashford unleashed a beauty of a shot to give them the lead. they eventually went up 2-0 before West Ham woke up. at this point, i knew this game was going to be a nail biter. sure enough... West Ham scored to make it 2-1 but thankfully, United held on from there to get the unlikely win. this puts them in the semis of the FA Cup against Everton.
i had that victory beer right after the game, hoping there would be more. i hate when i am outed as a fucking fool.
the New York Yankees lost last night 7-2. the game was close at one point but the bullpen i raved about finally shit the bed. oh well. they are winning tonight as i'm typing this. if they hold on to win tonight it would be another series win. they play tomorrow night back at home against Seattle.
the New York Rangers dominated the first period but like most of the fucking season, they forgot to score. and then came the moment of the night where i could taste a little vomit in my mouth. Marc Staal somehow got his stick into the mask of The King and just happened to get him in the eye. in another bizarre twist, AV leaves him in the game. so, naturally, Pittsburgh scores like 30 seconds later or something like that. the backup goalie starts the second period. after another period of dominating but not scoring, enter Dan Girardi thinking he's actually still a good at his job. instead of getting the puck deep he tries to get it through 4 people and wouldn't you know it, the dumb fuck forgets Cindy Crosby is behind him. breakaway... 2-0 Penguins. at this point i was so fucking angry i stopped watching the game and put on Lucha Underground. it was a wise decision as the Rangers lost 5-2. thankfully, they don't play again until Saturday. that should give The King time to get better (please god) and for the rest of the team to pull their heads out of their asses.
Lucha Underground was great last night. i love the Trios matches. talk about a wonderful thing to watch.
NXT was really good as well last night. i could watch Nakamura do just about anything and be entertained.
i did watch Golden State set the record for NBA wins in the regular season last night. they do look like they know they have to win the title for the record to mean anything.
and i did watch Kobe Bryant's ridiculous final game last night. if you love Kobe, you'll talk about the 60 points he scored. if you hate Kobe (as you should), you'll laugh and remember that it took the fucker 50 shots to get those 60 points. any player worth a shit could do something like that with 50 fucking shots.
if i wasn't a Sacramento fan, i'd say you had a great career. but since i am, thank fucking god you are retiring. good riddance.

mom and i both had prescriptions we had to pick up this afternoon. so after the trip to the grocery store, we went out to lunch. i decided i was going to be a good boy and got chicken with avocado on whole wheat. wasn't bad, though i probably shouldn't have had the fries. i think i know no matter what i do i'm going to be a diabetic. i lost the genetic lottery on that one.
mom has physical therapy tomorrow afternoon, so i don't know if i will do the blog before or after that. i do know i hope to write some poems while i'm down there. i'd like to get a submission or two out next week.
that's all for me kids. the sun was out again today. two days in a row. the world must be ending.

i couldn't sleep for shit last night until i jerked off for the first time in weeks. and of course, being the asshole i am, i used the bad arm to do it as i sadly tend to enjoy the pain. that bought me at least 2 hours of sleep. so, i might have got 4 hours last night in total. the right amount if i was 23 or so. sadly, at 38, i'm living more like a guy who smokes pot and naps all day long. i wouldn't mind the pot part, but napping all day long isn't for me.
in between the naps today, i did manage to write 2 poems. i will hopefully type them up this weekend.
the New York Rangers lost 2-1 last night. they had so many chances to win last night but lost the game in the last 2 minutes of the 3rd period. that could end up being some huge lost points. of course, go out and beat Pittsburgh tonight and no one will remember last night.
i spent 45 minutes in the damn cold today feeding the cats and filling the bird feeders. thankfully, there was no wind and i'm smart enough to dress in layers. and i made damn sure to take some oxy before i went out to do that.
i do enjoy this dream/awake stage the pain pills put me in at times. takes me back to my youth and the glorious moments where i really expanded my brain. glory days.
i suppose tonight i'll be watching some of the opening ceremony in Russia for the Winter Olympics, but not that much. there are some hockey games i need to watch and some college hockey i need to watch as well. and that damn tree house show that has become a guilty pleasure to watch on Friday nights. i suppose because i never had one as a kid.
The Big Bang Theory was really good last night. it also reminded me that i haven't had a girlfriend at Valentine's Day in damn near 20 years. money saved i suppose but so much other shit i have missed out on. hello depression.
not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. probably sometime before Dayton plays tomorrow. maybe i'll make it a morning post while i'm high on pain pills. i do know the women's hockey starts over in Russia in the middle of the night tonight. i know damn well what i'll be watching if i can't sleep tonight. and not in a sexual way you perverts.
that's all for me. be well and stay warm. continue with the good vibes as this is one tough motherfucker of pain i'm trying to beat. and in the words of Ice Cube, today was a good day.

did a bit of editing this morning and tried to take advantage of the weather getting a bit warmer. i cleared off most of the sidewalks and got most of the ice to melt. hopefully there will be no refreeze by tomorrow morning.
but, most of the day i've been trying to stay out of my own mind. got a few really fucking deep things going on up there (family medical shit) and having never been blessed with a positive mental attitude, it's for the best that i just try to keep out.
but when the music and porn and sports and books don't do the trick, where do i turn? i wish i had some brilliant answer to share here, but i don't.
the New York Rangers play the Devils for the first time since that moment of pure hell known as last year's playoffs. hopefully i will have something to cheer about tonight.
