What is it with the new trend in sunglasses?

Seriously, what is it with the new trend in sunglasses - The Paris Hilton trend, as I call it? I went to a downtown festivity on a bright and sunny afternoon a while back and these shades could be seen at every which angle, on women from the ages of 6 to 56. What type of sunglasses am I referring to? Not the kind that give enough shade to both the right and left eye, no. The kind that give enough shade to both eyes, plus another four eyes. If it weren't for a person's hair and perhaps some other features, I'd think that I was on a planet infested by aliens, that or a series of Jeff Goldblum clones from "The Fly".

I've never been much of a fashion buff, because I typically don't care. To each their own. Trends always change, so what's the point of altering one's style with the times, knowing that in two years, their current style will be in accord to the nationwide trend? But I don't understand how anyone could find these sunglasses cool or attractive. I don't understand how women can wear high-heels. Some give the reason that it shows more of their legs or "completes" the outfit. Alright, I can see that reasoning and logic...somewhat. But what's the reasoning for the extra large sunglasses? It's not like I see too many people with hats that could fit two heads in it, as the hat would cover the entire face (although, that may be a blessing in disguise for some people). It's not like I see NFL quarterbacks wear a glove on their throwing hand that could fit both hands in for a fashion statement. Good luck throwing the football, buddy! What, does it draw attention to one's forehead (the sexiest part of the human body)? The nose? The ears? The green antennas that are obviously sticking out from one's scalp? I'll admit, one gal I saw at this festival looked pretty good, until I saw those massive sunglasses on her face. At that, I cringed and looked elsewhere at human life-forms.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i

The verdict is in. To no one's surprise, Jonathan Hoenig has been found guilty of being an idiot.

Just recently, when discussing the Michael Brown shooting and whether or not race had anything to do with it, Fox News contributor Jonathan Hoenig said, "You know who talks about race? Racists." One moment while I provide Mr. Hoenig with the well deserved slow-clap. :: slow-claps for two seconds :: So, that was quite the line by Mr. Hoenig, wasn't it? "You know who talks about race? Racists." Well, wasn't he just talking about race? So, by his own words, I guess that makes him a racist. Also, if he wants to be consistent, does this mean that people whom talk about gender are sexists and people whom talk about sexual orientation are homophobes? With that line of thinking, Hoenig would engage in the following back-and-forths: Hoenig: "So, who are you voting for?" A woman: "The Democratic candidate, because he's been adamant about his support for equal rights for women." Hoenig: "You sexist feminist nazi!"
