"A Hollywood Fantasy" (a poem I wrote last night)

A Hollywood Fantasy

The two lock eyes,
Smiles are exchanged,
The opening scene foreshadowing the inevitable,
The couple’s fate,

The two bump into one another,
At a random place,
Coincidence not being possible,
It’s simply fate,

Apologies and numbers are shared,
A first date soon to come,
Everything seemingly perfect,
As the couple fall in love,

Drama then unfolds,
Trust is nearly broken,
Secrets that went untold,
The two separate for reflection,

Magic then fills the air,
Snow falls to the ground,
The two suddenly appear,
With Sinatra in the background,

They again lock eyes,
Move ever closer to one another,
Their lips meet with a passion,
As they live happily ever after,

A Hollywood fantasy,
How I wish it were true,
Instead I’m stuck in reality,
Not knowing what to do.

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...
