The Tim Tebow era comes to an end in New York...and what an era it was...

After drafting West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith, the New York Jets felt there really was no point in holding onto back-up quarterback Tim Tebow and let him go today, after just one season with the team.

In his much publicized career with the Jets, Tebow finished it having completed 6 of 8 passes for 39 yards. He also ran the ball 32 times for 102 yards.

After hearing the news, many Jets players sounded disappointed, saying things such as:

"Da*n! The bench is going to be colder now!"

"Man... Now when I throw a bad pass, I can't say, 'Hey coach, at least I can throw it better than Tebow!'"

"Aw... Who am I going to go clubbing with now?"

Rumor has it that Tebow will join ESPN and be called upon as a quarterback analyst, where the man who completed just 47.9% of his passes throughout his NFL career will, while watching tape, almost constantly say, "Man, I wish I could throw the  ball like that!"

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...
