I don’t think I’ve ever posted about a change in my facebook profile pics, but I thought I was scrolling through my pics and I found this one from back on Memorial Day and thought it was appropriate and unique.
Cup of JoeMonday, July 19th, 2010
I’ve been enjoying coffee for a long long time. I’ve been on and off recently. I find that if I wake up really early, I need it to get through the morning, but if I sleep well enough during the night and wake up at a reasonable hour, I don’t necessarily need the coffee. Especially on weekends, no real need, unless there is a plentiful amount and if I don’t have to make it myself.
Anyway, I’ve always heard the term “Cup of Joe” or even the more relevant Dunkin Donuts Box of Joe; I also figured, like everything else, there was an origin to the term. Then, this past weekend on yahoo.com, the main page (seeing that it was a slow news day) posted the origin of the term “Cup of Joe”. from yahoo.com:

Kind of makes me want a cup of coffee right now…but its way too late to be drinking that right now…
Kane: Money in the Bank and World Heavyweight ChampionMonday, July 19th, 2010
WWE’s first Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View (PPV) was last night. Not the first time there has been a Money in the Bank match, there has been five previous at the last five Wrestlemanias. The Money in the Bank match is a ladder match that has a briefcase with a World Championship match anytime, anywhere for up to a year. Kane was not one of my top choices for this match, in the past Wrestlemania Money in the Bank matches it has been left for an up-and-coming superstar. But seeing that there has already been one at Wrestlemania 26 (Jack Swagger) it didn’t really matter. Besides, The Miz would go on to win the Raw Money in the Bank match later in the night (again, another shocker). But Kane, who has been around as Kane for almost 15 years and has only won the WWE Championship once (and for only one day).  So, Kane winning the briefcase wasn’t a big deal. One thing I noticed while watching it on-line this morning was that they called The Big Show a five time World Champion. I knew he had won the WCW World Championship twice and the WWE Championship twice and the ECW Championship once, so I figured the ECW championship was considered a World Championship. I guess that would make Kane a three time World Champion (WWE, ECW and World Heavyweight). Kane would go on to cash in his Money in the Bank win against Rey Mysterio to win the World Heavyweight Championship. I honestly have no problem with this. I have a feeling that Kane (Glen Jacobs) time in WWE is probably coming to an end (retiring) and this might be a way to say thank you for a long and memorable career (at least when he first came into the WWE it was memorable).  But if his career is truly coming to an end, can we at least get the mask back on Kane?
