how many fucking gray days is this winter going to be? fuck, i haven't seen the sun for days it feels like. mom did get her injection today. she was worried, since she was running behind, that we were going to be late. thankfully, i learned a long time ago how to draft behind semis on the highway. we got to the place 8 minutes before her appointment time. after she got her injection, she wanted a Frozen Coke from McDonalds. at least that line moved pretty fast.
i got home in time to watch some of the World Juniors. it was a very interesting day. Finland beat Slovakia in OT, 4-3. Czechia got a late goal to upset Canada, 3-2. Sweden defeated Switzerland in OT, 3-2. the USA whipped Latvia, 7-2. so, the semi-finals will be USA vs. Finland and Sweden vs. Czechia on Thursday. winners face each other in the gold medal match. losers face each other for the bronze. been a long damn time since Canada got knocked out this early.
Monday Night Raw was very good last night.
i did watch some of both college football games last night. the championship next Monday should be pretty interesting.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Inside the NFL, Name That Tune and Hard Knocks.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Carolina.
i did check out some of the Winter Classic yesterday. Seattle won 3-0.
here are your NBA highlights from last night.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done. i also need to go to the bank tomorrow.
i need to figure out what i'm going to make for dinner tonight.
until tomorrow kids...

first off, i hope 2024 is the best year for everyone, even my fucking enemies. and i mean that, i am hoping to build on what i was able to accomplish in 2023. and i believe a big part of that is to continue to be as positive as i possibly can be about most things. now, i do know i am too much of an asshole and realist to be 100% positive all the time. but, as the muse has pointed out from time to time, i have made some changes in my life that are very positive. and the biggest one was cutting out nearly all the negative people in my life. last year was the first year that it truly felt like that was working for me. and i certainly want to build upon that in 2024.
the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at Tampa Bay, 23-13. they somehow still have a chance to make the playoffs. they finish up the season at home against the Falcons on Sunday.
i did watch plenty of NFL games yesterday. made a little money as well.
The Curse was excellent last night.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan had an ending last night that i didn't see coming.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw.
i'm sure i will watch plenty of college football today as well as the Winter Classic.
i know mom gets her injection for her back tomorrow. i will probably be on here after i get home from taking her to get that.
i do hope everyone had a great weekend.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
so, there was a bunch of shit that kept me up last night... i didn't fall asleep until 5 this morning. managed to finally get out of bed a little after 11. just enough rain and moisture last night that my arthritis was having a field trip. i hate eating breakfast at noon. it just drives home the fact i am already way behind on everything i need to do. i think that is what living 18 years on a farm taught me. there is always something to fucking do. and time waits for no one.
the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at Philadelphia, 20-10. of course, in the grand scheme of things it meant nothing as they were later eliminated from making the playoffs. oh well, at least they made the last week of the season interesting for the NFC. the Eagles still haven't clinched the top seed yet.
the New York Rangers won yesterday at Florida, 5-3. they play tomorrow at home against Carolina.
George & Tammy was really good last night. the season finale is next week.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw.
so, the betting yesterday didn't go so well for me. my 49ers parlay almost hit, but the Raiders ended up tying the game near the end, which made it impossible for the 49ers to win by more than 6.5 points. i then took a flyer on a free bet on the Buffalo Sabres. they lost to Ottawa, 3-1. so, in my final bets of the night, i took an easy gamble on the Bengals tonight that they won't be shutout. and i felt a little frisky so i took Brentford to beat Liverpool today. and HOLY SHIT, they defeated them 3-1. i took Brentford at +450, so my free $25 bet paid out $112.50. so, i feel much better now.
i did listen to episode 428 of Notsam Wrestling today. you can hear that by going here:
team USA plays Germany today at the World Juniors. hopefully the boys will win and advance.
i do have the Winter Classic on right now. Bruins vs. Penguins from Fenway Park.
the New York Knicks play today at home against Phoenix.
here are your NBA highlights from yesterday:
i'm sure i will watch some college football games at some point today. and i will probably watch some of the game tonight between the Bills and Bengals.
not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. i know at some point i will probably be going to the bank and probably Rite Aid to pick up a prescription. at least there shouldn't be the clusterfuck with my health insurance this year.
i hope everyone had a great weekend and a great start to 2023.

so, when Ohio State got down 14-0 yesterday to Utah, i was not happy. thankfully, the show was just beginning. CJ Stroud and Jaxon Smith-Njigba put on a show last night. Stroud threw for 572 yards and 6 TDs. Jaxon had 15 catches for 347 yards and 3 TDs. they both set records for the Rose Bowl and for Ohio State. Ohio State beat Utah last night, 48-45. i hope that sets up the team for a monster 2022 season.
the Winter Classic last night was good. the Blues beat the Wild, 6-4.
WWE Day 1 was interesting last night. Roman Reigns had to be pulled from the show because of COVID. that meant Brock Lesnar was put into the WWE championship match instead. and of course, he won. i really hope that sets something up between him and Bobby Lashley or Big E. i would love to see those matches down the line.

it has finally stopped raining, for now. it feels like winter again.
i should be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the afternoon.
i hope everyone had a good Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

it started raining last night and hasn't really stopped yet. it supposed to keep going all day today and eventually turn over to snow flurries on Sunday. joy.
i was thrilled to learn yesterday that Foo Fighters were showing their MSG concert from the summer for free on their YouTube channel. so, i watched that whole thing yesterday, mostly because i doubt i will ever get to see them live in person.
AEW Rampage was amazing last night.
205 Live was good last night.
Chillin Island was weird as fuck last night.
the New York Rangers won in Tampa Bay last night, 4-3, in a shootout.
the college football playoff games went as i expected last night. Alabama defeated Cincinnati, 27-6, and Georgia whipped that shit school up north, 34-11.
i did feel bad for my sister yesterday. she is a huge fan of the Golden Girls, so i know the death of Betty White ripped her to pieces.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be two episodes of When Nature Calls.
Ohio State plays Utah this afternoon in the Rose Bowl. given the number of Ohio State players that have opted out to prepare for the NFL, i do expect Ohio State to struggle today.
i hope to watch some of the Winter Classic tonight between the Blues and Wild.
WWE Day 1 is tonight as well.
the Dayton Flyers were supposed to play tomorrow but their game has been postponed because of COVID. that means Dayton won't play until Wednesday at home against VCU. of course, i won't be shocked if that game gets postponed as well.
so, i should be on here tomorrow in the morning as i think the Rangers play in the afternoon tomorrow, before the New Orleans Saints do.
thanks to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
my mother has this evil passive/aggressive side to her and it tends to always show up when she isn't feeling good. now, i know i'm supposed to just let that kind of shit roll off my back, but given that 99.9% of the time i'm breathing i'm in some sort of pain, it doesn't always work out that way. last night was the perfect example. i forgot to do something for her earlier in the day, you know, because god forbid i can't be perfect. so, last night she gave me this woe is me speech and how i forgot, etc. so, i spent the first few hours of 2020 thinking about my failures as a son, a man, and then wondering what way i am going to choose to die. the rest of the world gets fireworks, kisses and i get to choose between a gun, a rope or a bottle. i was told as a child life would never be fair. the powers that be never told me how unfair it would actually be. i got roughly 4 hours of sleep, only after watching some porn. i get the feeling 2020 is going to be the year my depravity breaks me. joy.
the New York Rangers got down 6-0 last night at Edmonton. i didn't bother watching after that. i was pleasantly surprised that they lost 7-5. one day they might actually realize you can't dig yourself that large of a hole and get out of it.
WWE Backstage was pretty good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be NXT and AEW.
Manchester United plays later this afternoon at Arsenal. i'd love for them to get another victory today.
i'll probably watch some of the Winter Classic today. Dallas is taking on Nashville outdoors.
i'll probably watch some of the bowl games today for sure. although, i must admit, college football is dead to me now that Ohio State is out.
i'll probably be on here tomorrow in the morning. i know i have some bills that need to get out tomorrow and the trash as well. i'd love to be on here before the USA takes Finland at the World Juniors.
i hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve. at the very least, i hope yours was better than mine.
may 2020 bring you everything you heart desires...
until tomorrow kids...

so, we ended 2018 with 2.6 inches of rain. joy. the wind was so bad last night, i could hear shit blowing up against the new storm door mom put on the front door. i guess our outdoor thermometer finally kicked the bucket. the wind blew it right off the house.
thankfully, it's not as bad so far today, just sort of gloomy.
so, since Google+ and Google Hangouts are going to go away sometime in 2019, i figured i needed to find a new home. so, you can now find me here: https://mewe.com/i/jjcampbell
i also started up an Instagram account, but i'm not going to post on it until i get a cellphone.
that's the first wave of changes for 2019. there will be others.
the New York Rangers won last night, 2-1 against the Blues. The King absolutely stood on his head last night. that was the only reason the boys won.
team USA defeated Finland last night, 4-1 at the World Juniors. the win gives the USA second place in the group, which means they will play the Czechs in the quarterfinals. Russia defeated Canada yesterday, 2-1. that's why i was really happy with the USA winning last night. they avoid playing Canada until later in the tournament, if at all. the quarterfinals will be played tomorrow. Switzerland vs. Sweden, Finland vs. Canada, Czech Republic vs. USA and Russia vs. Slovakia. all winners advance to the medal rounds.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night, at least what i saw of it.
enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown.
i do plan on watching some of the Winter Classic today. Boston is taking on Chicago at Notre Dame. i always love the look of the outdoor hockey games.
Ohio State plays Washington today in the Rose Bowl. it will be Urban Meyer's last game as head coach. that's why i can't even imagine Ohio State losing this game.
i'm sure i'll probably watch some other college football games today as well.
i'll probably be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the afternoon. i don't think that game is on television tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a good time last night. i hope your 2019 is off to a great start.

when you see school closings the night before, you know it's officially winter. i believe it was somewhere around -10 this morning. i imagine with the windchill it was even worse. i haven't even bothered to think about going outside yet. mom has even told me to not bother to do the trash next door or worry about getting ours out. so, i figure once i get this blog done, i'll throw on a few layers and hope to fucking god the mail has already been delivered.
the New York Rangers won the Winter Classic yesterday over Buffalo, 3-2 in OT. the Rangers are 4-0 since they have started these outdoor games. i was worried yesterday as the Rangers had to score the winning goal on the side of the ice that no one had been able to score on. thankfully, J.T. Miller got it done on the power play in overtime. the Rangers play again tomorrow at home against Chicago.
Manchester United finally got a win yesterday. they defeated Everton 2-0. Martial and Lingard scored two beautiful goals in the victory. hopefully that starts a positive run for the team.
i did watch a little of the college football games last night. as i figured, the national championship game is going to be Georgia vs. Alabama. Alabama's coach has never lost to any of his former assistants. and of course, Georgia is coached by one of his former assistants.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i really enjoyed Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe again last night. and having The Club (Balor, Anderson, Gallows) back together certainly made me smile.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Smackdown. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
team USA plays Russia tonight in the quarterfinals at the World Juniors. it would be nice to see the USA advance. that's the only way they are going to have a chance to win another medal. these are all MUST win games now.
i will be on here tomorrow after my doctor's appointment. i'm not quite sure what to expect as i haven't had a new doctor in about 15 years.
and hopefully the snow they are saying we will get tomorrow won't be too bad. mom's appointment with the doctor is before mine. she hates being out in bad conditions. i don't mind, as i remember how to turn into the skid.
until tomorrow my friends.

hello 2018. you look just like nearly every other year since i became a teenager. a stiff drink at midnight and let's see if i can find something dirty on the movie channels. amazingly, it wasn't that bad of an evening.
the New Orleans Saints lost yesterday at Tampa Bay 31-24. thankfully, Atlanta defeated Carolina, so the Saints won the division anyway. the Saints will play Carolina at home on Sunday in the playoffs. hopefully they can beat Carolina for the 3rd time this season.
team USA defeated Finland yesterday at the World Juniors, 5-4. that got them second place in the group. their reward for that will be a game against Russia on Tuesday night. i figured that would happen.
Shameless was excellent last night.
the season finale of SMILF was fucking hilarious last night. i was pretty impressed how they took a subject like child abuse and managed to find humor that didn't seem forced or out of place. i can't wait for this show to come back.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight. i will be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
Manchester United plays at Everton today. given all the injuries and suspensions, i have no clue what team is going to be out there. i wouldn't be shocked if somehow Wayne Rooney scores the winner for Everton today. that would sum up the festive fixtures for United perfectly.
the New York Rangers play outside this afternoon against Buffalo. it would be nice to see them win today.
the final 4 for college football is today. Georgia vs. Oklahoma and Alabama vs. Clemson. i might watch some of that. i suppose it depends if the games are close or not.
i haven't been outside to get the paper yet. i figured i wanted to allow it to warm up to numbers above zero before i went out there.
i hope everyone had a good night. hello to 2018. Happy New Year. i hope you have a wonderful day.

nothing like a thick ass fog to wake up to on the second day of 2017. of course, when it's near 50 degrees in January and the experts are saying there are thunderstorms coming, chaos should be expected.
the New Orleans Saints lost 38-32 yesterday to Atlanta. when Atlanta scored on their first 5 possessions, i stopped watching. nice of the Saints to make it close late, but a 7-9 record is probably exactly what this team deserved this season. it's sad, but they are wasting Drew Brees at this point. there has been 9 5,000 yards passing seasons in NFL history. Drew has 5 of them. as usual, on to next season.
i did watch a good bit of the outdoor hockey game yesterday between Toronto and Detroit. that was very entertaining. i watched a little of the Winter Classic today between Chicago and St. Louis as well. it looks like people still love these events.
i had seen Wishful Drinking before when it first came out on HBO, but watching it again last night was a mix of laughter and sadness. Carrie Fisher died way too early.
The Affair was great once again last night.
Manchester United got a gift in the 15th minute today against West Ham. a straight red card to a West Ham player for a foul that probably deserved nothing more than a yellow card at best. but, i'll gladly take it. with goals in the second half from Juan Mata and Zlatan Ibrahimvoc (he was obviously offside but another horrible call that actually went United's way for a change) United won 2-0. with Liverpool dropping points today, United is creeping closer to the top 4 of the league. this the best run of unbeaten games for United since the days of Sir Alex.

i may get a wild hair up my ass tomorrow and send out some poems.
i think i'm 99.9% sure this will be my last year in fantasy football. i did absolutely awful this year. now i'll probably still pick games, but the head to head days look to be over.

i was up pretty late last night. i finished off a bottle of Jagermeister and then a bottle of Southern Comfort. to be honest, each bottle only had one drink left in them. i then turned to rum for the rest of the evening. i was flipping between NBC and CNN last night, laughing my ass off. it was amazing to see how many filthy lines Whitney Cummings got past the censor on NBC. plus, the coverage on CNN always makes me laugh, mostly because of how uncomfortable Kathy Griffin makes Anderson Cooper.
then i spent a good portion of the night talking to this woman from Ghana. she didn't ask me for money within 30 seconds of the conversation, so i'm assuming it's not a scam artist. plus the photo she showed me didn't come back as a model or porn star when i did a Google search. of course, i've been down this road a million times now. but, she did inspire some poems. i wrote 3 before i finally went to bed. i typed those up this morning and i think they are pretty good. it's a decent start to the new year.
Ohio State beat Notre Dame today 44-28. it was the final game for a ton of their seniors and juniors as i wouldn't be shocked if most of them turned pro by tomorrow morning. it was a decent way to cap off the season. though i really wish they would have made it back to the playoffs. they certainly were better than the two teams that got blown out last night.
i didn't watch much of the Winter Classic. Montreal won 5-1. i doubt i missed much.
my cousin came over today. i thought it was to watch the Ohio State game with me. actually, it was because he couldn't get his tablet to work over at my uncle's house. so i got him hooked up to our wi-fi and then he spent the next 3 hours watching shows on YouTube or something. the funny thing was after the Ohio State game was over, he asked me if i had headphones he could use as he didn't want to interfere with what we were watching. that made me laugh on the inside. technology has turned all the kids into fucking zombies with no social skills at all.

when i first turned on the television today, Natalie Cole's death was the first thing i saw. rest in peace, Natalie. (February 6, 1950 - December 31, 2015)

the rest of tonight will be probably some more football or if that bores me, i'll just flip through the channels while i'm figuring what drink am i going to add some vodka to.
i will be on here tomorrow afternoon sometime after the Dayton Flyers play. it will be a busy morning/early afternoon for me. Manchester United plays in the morning. once that is done, team USA will be taking on the Czech Republic in the World Juniors and sometime during that, the Dayton game will be starting.
so the goal is to write my blog sometime between the end of all that and the start of the New York Rangers game against the Florida Panthers.
hopefully i will be enjoying 4 victory beers tomorrow. i have a few to go enjoy now.
i hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve. hopefully your 2016 will be your best year yet.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
2015 will be remembered by me as the year my biggest obstacle to actually enjoying life finally left this earth. my father, his demons, and every little nugget of hate he poured into me finally had the chance to be erased from my brain when he died in late April. now i'm pretty sure it will take the rest of my life to un-fuck him from my brain, but at least the possibility of hope now exists. of course, i still haven't been to the graveside yet, so i'm not 100% sure that fucker is in the ground. and since the calls have stopped asking me to pay his bills, i am 100% sure that he left me absolutely nothing, if he even had a will. maybe when i turn 40 i'll have an exorcism and see if suddenly my life will turn around. it surely wouldn't hurt anything.
i will also remember 2015 as the year i left the farm i so dearly loved to move next door to the parents of the cousin that molested me. my mother did apologize to me the other day in a peculiar kind of way for never doing anything when i told her about what happened. of course, she did it while telling me that my sister is worried i'm going to kill her one day because she didn't do anything. i wasn't sure if i should take that as a compliment that my sister thinks i'm capable or be insulted that she thinks it's even possible. i would kill myself before i would kill any of my family, except maybe for a certain person or two.
and lastly, 2015 will be remembered as the year my writing and this blog took, what i would like to believe, is a giant leap forward. while i haven't been as prolific with my writing as in previous years, i do believe my writing is better. i attribute that to doing this everyday. it not only keeps my brain active, it also flushes out other things that eventually end up in poems. feel free to use the contact form to tell me otherwise.
now, onto the crazy happenings from last night...
when the Dayton Flyers were up by over 20 points early last night, i reminded myself that there is no fucking chance it's going to be this easy. when Arkansas was leading in the second half, i figured that Dayton would come back. when Dayton forgot to foul when up by 3 points with 4 seconds left and Arkansas hit the 3 to send the game to overtime, i was pretty sure Dayton was going to fucking lose this game. when Arkansas was up by 4 in OT, i was really worried. when Dayton kept missing foul shots after somehow getting the lead back, i was hoping they wouldn't piss away another lead. thankfully, they didn't. Dayton won 85-81 in OT. that was coach Archie Miller's 100th win at the school. Dayton is now 10-2 and start the A10 schedule this Saturday at Duquesne.
so while at Waffle House after the game, and this pretty much sums up my life, we were getting ready to leave and this stunning looking woman walked in. now stunning from where i live is someone who's probably a 6 or 7 in the regular world. i kept trying to make eye contact, but it never happened. i really need to get a damn vehicle so i can actually go places by myself again. rather, i need mom to get herself a new vehicle so i can have the one she has now.
we didn't get home until after midnight. i turned on the NHL Network to check out the New York Rangers highlights. much to my surprise, they beat Tampa last night 5-2. i was really, REALLY happy about that.
sick hands from Dom on that winning goal from last night.
i woke up this morning in plenty of time to catch team USA beat Denmark 4-1 in the World Juniors over in Finland. the New York Rangers goalie prospect Brandon Halverson started the game and was really solid in net. the boys finished in second place in the group. they will play the Czech Republic on Jan. 2nd. they have to win that game to advance to have the chance to bring home a medal.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
the rest of today is going to be about football and drinking. i have a few victory beers to catch up on and the college football playoff is today. i have no clue who is going to win the national championship this year. since Ohio State isn't playing for it, i really don't care.
tomorrow is going to be a busy one as well. Ohio State plays Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl.
the Winter Classic is also tomorrow, as the Boston Bruins take on the Montreal Canadiens outdoors in Boston. i always try to catch some of that.
so i imagine i'll be on here sometime tomorrow, maybe in the early evening. i always try to do some writing as well on the first day of a new year. of course, that usually happens in the early morning hours while drunk, so i might have an update for you by waiting to the evening to blog.
i hope everyone has a great night. if you have already celebrated 2016 coming in, i hope you are safe and happy. if you are planning on going out tonight to party, be safe, call if you need bail money. and if you are like me and have no one to celebrate the ball dropping with a kiss, grab a bottle of lotion and remember the time you were in a car in a public park at 6 in the morning with one of the most beautiful women that would ever talk back to you. that has worked for me for the last 18 years.
most of all, enjoy another year gone. soon we'll all be dead. might as well live it up while we're here.

peace and chicken grease...
