Wayne has wanted to come out and talk about the school shootings on a national level. Finally people are hearing him. I know he's actually happy to be able to share his knowledge and to actually be recognized as a person with a malady to provoke a school shooting.

Read about him here.
Panthers cut Keyshawn Josef Johnson. Read in SI. Although it doesn’t really matter that his name was Josef when he went to my high school, it was cool seeing him in the NFL draft show. Me, under the weather and watching anything on TV, saw him actually do a fair job on television. His ad lib skills stunk, but his football knowledge and candor was pretty good. It was super exciting to see him talk about Dwayne Jarrett, the USC player who left school early to get in the draft. KJ also a USC grad via West LA College, was so excited and eager that his team, the Carolina Panthers drafted this dude who he said is a similar style receiver. He assured the young player than even though he was drafted much later than was hoped for, that he would teach him to be a great pro, and the kid would earn a lot of money in the league. He had nothing to worry about. The kid looked happy, not exactly excited as he sat next to his proud family. KJ did a short and bad interview, but really centered around how excited he was that this kid was going to be his teammate. Who would do this for another person in the same position? KJ’s 34 and near his end, but still regarded as a threat in the game. He has a lot to give to a young player. Just a couple of days later, KJ gets fired. Aside from the embarrassment of putting himself out there on TV and telling everyone how he was going to help this kid to poof… Who’s going to teach the kid now? Imagine what his family must think? From sitting proudly next to their son who’s has a veteran damn good wide receiver assure him that he’ll teach their child everything, and even insuring his success and riches… sad times. I hope KJ finds a good place to go, Raiders!

Super Markets can be huge food emporiums. We take them for granted unless a major disaster happens, and all of a sudden people flock for bottles of water and canned goods. Some of us have different names for them. It’s the market, the store, grocery store, or it’s a proper name, Albertson’s, Ralph’s, Von’s, Jon’s (with a silent J), Safeway, Kroeger’s, Meijer etc. When I go, I realize, I start off in produce, fruits, vegetables, then it’s off to the wanna be healthy area, then it’s to the Vitamin water and juice area, I might get sparkling water… Then I check out the meat area, then I bypass all of the frozen, and I check out the canned area, if I want anything, if not, then it’s to the last aisle, cereals and fruit snacks. Of course, the fruit snack part isn’t heavily marketed as it’s own section. But it’s a great one. The variety is kick ass. Movie tie-ins, Fruit by Foot, fruit snacks, plain brands, Sponge Bob, Fruit Gushers, and so much more. Today was Hello Kitty’s day. Kellogg’s is rocking Hello Kitty in the fruit snacks category. It wasn’t on sale, so I didn’t buy any. The best time to come is when the movie is gone and dead, on DVD already and forgetten, but lo and behold, the only thing keeping the film relavent is the fruit snacks. But when the market people catch on, it goes on sale to kill the item. That’s when you have to swoop in and buy low, so you can eat high. No deals today, I got nothing.
