All the makings of a strange birthday

I have a feeling my upcoming birthday is going to be quite the strange one. It's almost exactly one month away (February 28th).

I was really excited about it a couple weeks ago. I had just discovered that one of my favorite Indian restaurants would be re-opening about a week after my birthday, and my favorite band Muse will be playing in Columbus almost exactly a week after my birthday as well.

Just this past weekend, I found out that the bar I go to in town will be having a karaoke DJ playing there the weekend following my birthday, in honor of my turning 32.

However, it's now uncertain if I'll be able to go to the before-mentioned concert. My girlfriend and I have had a rocky couple of weeks, and are currently in the process of trying to talk things over and work things out, and she would be my date to the show if I went. I also just found out that on the day of my birthday, my brother and his wife will be moving into their new house. Just yesterday, I learned that they're going to be a mother and father come October as well.

My birthdays have kind of gotten me down in recent years, but I was actually looking forward to this one. Hopefully things all work out and the day is indeed a very special one. If worst comes to worst, I'll be certain to engorge myself with a $10 all-you-can-eat buffet at that before-mentioned Indian restaurant. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

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...

Face guarding is legal in college football and the NFL

I just wanted to remind fans and announcers especially, that face guarding is legal in both college football and the NFL. It all comes down to contact. So long as a defender doesn't make contact with an intended receiver, he doesn't have to turn around to play the ball. I can't tell you how many times every week I hear announcers talk about face guarding being a penalty. It's not. I even heard one announcer yesterday state, "If the defender doesn't turn around and play the ball, the ref will call pass interference every time." That's simply not true. Courtesy of referee Bill LeMonnier, he says this with regard to the rule at the college level (answered on 8/12/13): "NCAA rules on pass interference require the face guarding to have contact to be a foul. No contact, no foul by NCAA rules." In the NFL rule book, this is written:  "Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to: (a) Contact by a ...
