Do I care about Lee Corso's on-air slip of the tongue? Ah, f**k it...

For anyone that missed it, former college football coach and current ESPN commentator (known for being a member of ESPN Gameday on Saturday mornings) said a naughty word during a live broadcast yesterday morning. As the Gameday crew was in Houston to preview the SMU/Houston game, they saved the predictions for that game at the very end of the show. As Mr. Corso is known for doing, he teased the home fans and said something along the lines of, "How can you pick against SMU? Their colors are red, white and blue. U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.," before he said, "Ah, f**k it" and placed on his Houston Cougars' mascot-esque head gear.

A clip of that moment can be viewed here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kmMdyJ89sY (and elsewhere)

Corso released a short apology about a half hour later. Since that moment, I've read many comments regarding the incident, most of which were fairly positive, finding the slip up to be rather humorous. There were a few individuals whom laid claim that children were watching, Corso should be fired and one person even compared Corso's "f**k it" to someone saying "n***er" in a similar live-broadcast setting.

Me personally? I don't care. I thought it was funny. For some reason, I find it humorous to hear older people have slip-ups like Corso did yesterday morning. It was on cable. If the show were aired on ABC, I think it would be a bigger deal, but when one combines cable with a live broadcast, s**t can happen.

For the people whom are self-righteous and even stupid to compare "f**k" with "n***er," f**k 'em, right Lee?

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
