"The Hopeless Romantic Paradox" (poem of mine)

Here's the last poem I'll be sharing tonight (morning, I suppose, depending upon the time zone). It can be found on pages 20-21 of "Seasons Come, People Grow: A Poetic Journey".

The face of an angel,
Her wide eyes sparkle,
Loyal and honest to the core,
Her innocent smile and demeanor,

Strong-willed and dedicated,
Kind and generous to others,
She holds her head up high in confidence,
With her, tasting the sweet and never the sour,

Her intellect reigns supreme,
An imagination like that of a child,
Creative and artistic is she,
The most genius person I know,

An alluring and magnetic glow surrounds her,
Everyone helpless to smile when she is near,
She brings the best out in everyone,
With her winning personality and sense-of-humor,

One that can always be trusted,
Trusting of me at the same time,
She gives as much as received,
Everything mutual and balanced,

She likes to be selfish at times,
But knows when to give me space,
She accepts me for who I am,
She accepts my flaws and imperfections,

Does she exist in reality?
Or merely a figment of my imagination?
The hopeless romantic paradox has come before me,
Full of hope and optimism for all of my existence.

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...
