Romney 5 is alive!!!

For those of you whom have never seen the film "Short Circuit" and are wondering what in the hell I'm talking about, the main character in the film - a robot named Johnny 5 - is known for saying, "Johnny 5 is alive!" as well as, "Need input! More input!"

Now that we've established that, the Republican Party is going to try and establish the image that their leader for this upcoming election - Mitt Romney - is a warm fellow. While it seems a decent percentage of Republicans believe President Obama is not a "real" American, a decent percentage of both parties seem to believe that Romney is not human. So, it appears as if at the Republican National Convention, the party will attempt to prove this - especially Mitt's own wife, Ann.

She will likely start her speech by showing a picture of the family driving cross country, going on a vacation of sorts. The kids will be in the back of the car, she'll be in the passenger seat, Mitt will be in the driver's seat and on the roof will be the family dog. Video clips will then be displayed of Romney flip-flopping on issues such as: Abortion, global warming, gay rights, gun control , healthcare reform and his wife, Ann. The screen will then show Romney pointing and laughing, as Donald Trump's voice can be heard saying, "You're fired." The video will close with, "Come on. Could a robot be this big of an a**hole? Vote Romney 2012." The before-mentioned robot from "Short Circuit" would end the with the line, "Romney 5 is alive!"

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...
