Weird feeling...

I don't know how to describe it. There are some mornings when I awaken, with a big event looming, and I immediately know what's going to happen. It's a gut feeling of some kind. There were days when I had a big project or interview or college final and right when I awoke, I had a good feeling of how it was going to go. Even for things as unimportant (on a grand scale) as a sporting event which I've been looking forward to, I'll wake up that morning with either a good or bad feeling in the pit of my stomach and almost every time, that feeling foreshadows the actual results. I was nervous all week about the Supreme Court's healthcare ruling. I could hardly sleep this week. I was let go from my insurance plan 2-3 months ago, was rejected by another due to pre-existing conditions and was nibbling on my nails, while rocking in my chair (man, I sound old) wondering if I'd forever be rejected due to my health history. When I awoke this morning, even though I didn't sleep much, I had a bounce in my step - I felt good. I immediately turned the television on and waited and waited, feeling optimistic about the ruling (which I hadn't felt in some time). Just a little after 10 am EST, it was made known that the law was upheld 5-4. I don't know what it is, but perhaps I need to do some legal sports betting when I awaken in the morning. Big money!

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...
