Paul Ryan talks about "universal human values" - yes, the rest of us are aliens...

At a town hall in Cincinnati, Ohio today, Republican vice presidential candidate and front-runner to star as the lead in a "Forrest Gump" remake due to his being able to run across the country in record-breaking time while hardly breaking a sweat - Paul Ryan - said, "The things you talk about like traditional marriage and family and entrepreneurship. These aren't values that are indicative to any one person or creed or color. These are American values, these are universal human values."

Yes, I guess it can now be made official that I and many others whom believe in gays' marriage rights are actually aliens sent by the president of a yet discovered planet by the name of Analove (pronounced anna - lohv, of course), where we are all gay. Our planet song is "Macho Man" by the Village People. Our planet movie is "Brokeback Mountain." On our Independence Day, for 24 hours, we just do it up the wazoo.

"Universal human values?" Really, Mr. Ryan? I've got some universal human values for you - how about honesty, loyalty, generosity, empathy, open-mindedness, kindness and love?

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...
