"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...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
