response from Terror House Magazine...

 i heard back from Matt at Terror House Magazine on my recent poetry submission. my poems "these earlier appointments", "a glass of brandy" and "all in the tongue" have been accepted for publication.

poetry update...

 i just sent out 11 poems for submission. 3 each to Terror House Magazine and Ephemeral Elegies; 5 poems to Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

last night was a disaster...

 one thing you learn when you live and die by how the sports teams you follow are doing... death is a likely scenario sometimes. between the Yankees, Rangers and Saints last night, i was completely willing to find the tallest building and take a leap. fuck me.

the Yankees lost last night in Houston, 3-2. they are now down 2-0 in the series. now, i know a series really doesn't begin until a home team loses. with that in mind, the Yankees better win all 3 games at Yankee Stadium or this series will be over rather quickly.

the New York Rangers lost last night to the winless San Jose Sharks, coached by the former Rangers coach, David Quinn, 3-2 in OT. the Rangers got completely outplayed in the 3rd period and OT. that was fucking brutal to watch.

and then the final punch to the dick last night, the New Orleans Saints pissed away a lead and lost at Arizona, 42-34. Andy Dalton threw 6 TD's last night, but 2 of those were for Arizona. thank fucking god i didn't watch any of the game.

the MLS playoffs last night certainly did not disappoint.

Vice News Tonight had two great episodes this week.

the season finale of Little Demon last night was great.

Atlanta was fucking brilliant last night.

Young Sheldon was very funny last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and the season finale of Los Espookys. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

the New York Knicks play tonight at home against the Pistons.

i did go to Menards today. i found pretty much everything i was looking for. i was a little shocked that the Christmas shit was already out. fuck, Halloween hasn't happened yet.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning. i know around noon or so, Ohio State and Manchester United will both be playing.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

thanks to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:

https://horrorsleazetrash.com/2022/10/21/j-j-campbell-68/

until tomorrow kids...

fuck racism.

here comes a busy day...

 today is going to busier than shit. but, i like fucking chaos anymore. oh well.

the Yankees lost last night at Houston, 4-2. hard to win when you strike out 17 times in a game. and once again, Aaron Boone didn't use the bullpen how he should have (how many times does Clarke Schmidt have to fail in high pressure situations for you to stop putting him in those...). they play Game 2 tonight.

here are your highlights from the MLB playoffs yesterday:

the New York Knicks lost in OT last night, at Memphis, 115-112.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

The Masked Singer was good last night.

both episodes of American Horror Story: NYC were great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NJPW, the season finale of Little Demon, Atlanta and Young Sheldon.

the New Orleans Saints play tonight at Arizona. the Saints have so many injuries, i have no clue how they are going to do tonight.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against San Jose. hopefully, the boys win again.

the MLS playoffs resume tonight. Philadelphia plays FC Cincinnati and El Trafico will be the other semifinal (LAFC vs. LA Galaxy).

i'm hoping i will get some poems written today while mom is at physical therapy. 

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get back from Menards.

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

no rest for the wicked...

 the Yankees won yesterday over Cleveland, 5-1. they will play Game 1 of the ALCS tonight in Houston. i'm hoping for the best for the boys, but considering how they played against Houston this season, i don't have my hopes up.

NXT was very good last night.

AEW Dynamite was good last night.

The Voice was excellent last night.

Tales From The Territories last night was about the AWA.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Masked Singer and two episodes of American Horror Story: NYC.

i had to take mom to get her glasses today. that was a comedy of errors. first, they tried to give mom the wrong glasses. and then, it took the lady a few minutes to realize that she had talked to my mother on the phone for the last few weeks. mom is afraid they are just her old lenses as she can't really tell any difference. i hoping that changes in the next few days.

then, after i took her home, i went grocery shopping. after three stores, i got everything on the list. it took forever, but i figured it would. at least i got home to see the last 5 minutes of the Manchester United game.

Manchester United defeated Tottenham today, 2-0. from everything i saw on the highlights, it looked like their best game of the year so far. hopefully, that is a sign of things to come. Fred and Bruno scored the goals today.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

i will probably watch some of the New York Knicks tonight.

i have a friend coming into the state tomorrow that i am hoping to meet up with at some point, so i am going to try to get the blog done in the morning. it will definitely be done before i have to take mom to physical therapy tomorrow.

until tomorrow kids...

 so, the Yankees got rained out last night. they will play Game 5 this afternoon. whoever wins will play tomorrow in Houston to start the ALCS.

the New York Rangers won last night over Anaheim, 6-4. 

Monday Night Raw was good last night.

The Voice was very good last night.

Avenue 5 was hilarious last night.

The Vow was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, AEW Dynamite, The Voice, Deadliest Catch and Tales From The Territories.

the NBA season starts tonight. i might watch some of that. the 76ers play the Celtics and the Warriors play the Lakers.

i did catch a little of the MLS playoffs last night.

i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays. i will hopefully get the grocery shopping done before that happens.

basically today has been an early glimpse of winter. snow showers (very light, no accumulation), no fucking sun and people who can't fucking drive.

i did get mom to physical therapy this afternoon. after she was done with that, we went to the DMV to renew her handicapped placards. she was amazed at how the new place looks. thankfully, it wasn't busy.

at some point tonight i'll get all the trash picked up and ready to go out. i have dinner all planned out, so hopefully the rest of the day goes smoothly.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

 so, Gerrit Cole did what an ace is supposed to do last night. he pitched 7 innings, allowing 2 runs and striking out 8. amazingly, Aaron Boone used his bullpen correctly last night and the Yankees won, 4-2. that forces a Game 5 tonight back in the Bronx. hopefully, the Yankees will score early and often and make the game a laugher. now, i know that probably won't happen, but i do hope they win. whoever wins will play in the ALCS at Houston.

the New Orleans Saints lost yesterday at home to the Bengals, 30-26. the Saints have so many injuries on offense. it started to really show in the second half. all the Saints needed to do was get one first down when they needed one, and they couldn't. i knew right then and there, the Bengals were going to win the game. 

i did catch some of the MLS playoffs yesterday. hopefully, i will catch some of the games tonight.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan was excellent last night. the season finale is next week.

Let The Right One In was amazing last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw, The Voice, Avenue 5 and The Vow.

i did listen to episode 417 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:

https://www.stitcher.com/show/sam-roberts-wrestling-podcast/episode/bobby-lashley-notsam-wrestling-417-207661302

the New York Rangers play at home tonight against Anaheim. hopefully, the boys will find a way to win.

i don't have much interest in the Monday night football game tonight between the Broncos and Chargers.

i didn't get to bed last night until 5 this morning. nothing quite like the joys of insomnia. now, when i am writing, i don't mind it. but, staring at a blank page for hours and nothing shows up... now it becomes a problem.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to physical therapy.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

when anger never leaves...

 so, the Yankees were up 5-3 last night in Cleveland, in the bottom of the 9th. i figured Holmes would be coming on for the save. apparently, so did the players. when Aaron Boone brought in Schmidt instead, my first reaction was what the fuck. of course, the Yankees lost the game, 6-5. after the game, Boone said Holmes was only going to be used in case of emergency. apparently, having the bases loaded and holding on to a 5-4 lead isn't an emergency. Holmes after the game said he was good to go and told the coaches that before the game. so, one of them is lying and considering Boone can't coach himself out of a wet paper bag in the playoffs, i'm going to say he is. i'm so fucking sick and tired of how this team plays in the playoffs, i'm at the point where either Boone needs to go. or, maybe it is time to finally have a new GM for the first in a quarter century. or hell, how nice would it be if Hal Steinbrenner grew a set of balls and got rid of them both. i won't be watching Game 4 tonight, even if the Yankees are winning.

here are your highlights from the MLB playoffs yesterday:

so, when i saw the clock this morning, it was 6:30. i had been asleep for roughly 2 hours. i decided to sleep a little longer and then i would get going. that little longer became roughly 9:10 this morning. so much for getting the blog done before Manchester United played this morning.

Manchester United finished 0-0 against Newcastle today. United was fucking horrible in the final 3rd today. they had point blank chances they fucking missed. that's how you make a draw feel like a loss.

the Saints are playing at home today against the Bengals. it is currently 7-7.

Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night.

i did watch a little of the MLS playoffs yesterday. i will probably watch some today as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Last Week Tonight, Power Book III: Raising Kanan and Let The Right One In.

the baseball cards i got from Repacked Wax yesterday were very good. a good handful of the cards were from before i was born. 

i think i'm going to fill out my absentee ballot today. i don't trust the postal service much anymore, so i'm going to fill it out and send it way before the deadline.

the Saints are currently up 20-14 at halftime.

here are some of the highlights from a crazy Saturday of college football:

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

i should be on here in the morning/early afternoon tomorrow. unless i actually get up early enough to get my haircut and get a flu shot.

so, i had 8 poems published 2 years ago and knew nothing about it...

 not that i am complaining, but it would have been nice to been able to help publicize this when it was actually going out. oh well. i had 8 poems published in the book ";Or, How We Stopped Warming Up for 20 years and Learned to Exit the Green Room". my poems included in the book are: "trash", "nobody likes a quitter", "now serving number...", "god", "petty little arguments", "procrastination", "on the shore of luck" and "fork in the road". below is the Amazon.com link to the book. other poets in the book include Iris Berry, Kevin M. Hibshman, Laura Joy Lustig, Catfish McDaris, B.Z. Niditch, Normal, Mark Sonnenfeld, Lindsay Wilson, and many more.

laundry day

 since Ohio State is off this week, i figured today would be a good day to get my laundry done. of course, there is plenty of other shit i would like to be doing, but laundry seems to be a necessary evil when you have to actually go out into the world. oh well. i'll start that after i get home from Rite Aid. i need to pick up a prescription.

the Yankees lost yesterday to Cleveland, 4-2 in 10 innings. the series is now 1-1 and goes to Cleveland for a game tonight. if the Yankees don't win tonight, i have a pretty good feeling they will lose this series.

here are your highlights from the MLB playoffs yesterday:

the New York Rangers lost last night in Winnipeg, 4-1. this was a game of running into a hot goalie and him outplaying your backup. plus, the Rangers were on their 3rd game in 4 nights and this was the Jets first game of the season. shit happens.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.

AEW Rampage was excellent last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was fucking hilarious last night.

Los Espookys was really funny last night. the season finale is next week.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live.

i'm sure i will watch plenty of college football today on top of the MLB playoffs. the MLS playoffs start today as well.

i got my order from Repacked Wax today. so, that will take up whatever spare time i have today between sports and my laundry.

i am going to try to be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the morning.

if not then, who knows. 

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

the Yankees are currently up 2-0 in the second inning. Stanton homered in the 1st.

it is very windy today. i used to love these days on the farm. mother nature would rake the leaves for me.

i am going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow. Ohio State has a bye this weekend. i would love to go to the Red and Blue game tomorrow at UD Arena. but, i also need to get my laundry done and i really don't like leaving mom alone when she can't see. i really hope her fucking glasses come in soon.

 so, when i got out of the shower at 4:10 AM, i put my right foot down on the mat. i could feel a pop in my right foot. i knew immediately that was my abnormally high arch that i am blessed with in both of my feet. so, i have been feeling that pain in my foot ever since. now, the beauty of pain is if you know how to deal with it, you can control it. the one thing about that mental mindfuck is it is extremely tiring. so, i am running on fucking fumes. that didn't make for fun at the grocery store or the two different fucking times i had to go to Rite Aid today. and whoever was the fucking genius that decided to close the drive thru at Rite Aid so everyone needed to come inside, please never have another fucking thought in your life. i'm sure all 15 of us in line just loved the fuck out of that wait.
