so, i was standing in Big Lots...

 when i got the alert on my phone that Sean Payton was retiring as coach of the New Orleans Saints. this immediately put the doomsday scenario i have had in my head for years into play. he steps away from the Saints and after a year or so, gets that itch to coach and then he's the coach of the Dallas Cowboys. now, thankfully, the Saints will have his rights for three more years, so if that scenario happens, i hope the Saints rip the Cowboys off for a few first round picks and plenty of money. now, if that scenario doesn't happen and he goes into TV or some other role, i will always be happy for the job he did as Saints coach. to get that team a Super Bowl title is so beyond fucking words, let alone to help the city come back from all those fucking hurricanes... some days the news hits you like a punch to the dick. thanks for 16 years coach.

i went to Big Lots to see if i could find any baseball cards. i had the birthday coupon with me. of course, they had none. so, i found some shot glasses i liked and some Jim Beam dark roast coffee. i figure i'm well on my way to being a full fledged alcoholic, why not.

i had to go to Rite Aid today to find the stuff i couldn't find yesterday. and then i went to the local grocery store and got what i would normally get on Wednesday. since i have to take the Highlander in tomorrow, i figured i would get some of the grocery shopping done today. i did get some baseball cards at Rite Aid. there was close to $20 worth of cards in the $5 box.

the New York Rangers defeated the Kings last night, 3-2, in a shootout. the shot Adam Fox made in the shootout is why he should be a Norris Trophy candidate for the next decade for sure.

both episodes of Kenan were pretty funny last night.

That's My Jam was hilarious last night.

Monday Night Raw was good last night. i can't wait for the Royal Rumble this Saturday.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT.

the Dayton Flyers play at home tonight against Fordham. my back is still killing me, so i'll be watching the game on ESPN+. Dayton is a 13.5 point favorite tonight. i feel like Dayton will win but i would be pleasantly shocked if they win by that much.

i need to pick up the trash here and figure out what the fuck i'm making for dinner. so, that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the fucking shot.

al menos el sol hizo acto de presencia hoy

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...
