Book Update

I just thought I'd keep everyone up-to-date on my new book. I've finished proofreading, editing, and researching for the book. A second person is now proofreading it and is almost finished. She should actually finish with things today. I'll then need to get to work on the cover. I was having trouble thinking of one, but finally believe I have a rough idea of what I'm looking for, and hope I'm able to piece some pictures together which accurately depict what I'm envisioning right now.

I won't be giving much information away in terms of specifics just yet. I think I'll wait on that until I finalize the cover. All I'll say is that it's the third installment of the LOL at the GOP series, is the best researched of the lot, and probably the most powerful as well. On the flip-side, it will also be the most divisive, where I may receive some lovely insults or threats here and there, especially if the cover turns out the way I want it. In any case, I'm very excited and am hoping this book will further expand my audience with the attention and critical acclaim it hopefully garners.

In the end, I'm hoping to have things finalized by this coming weekend, where I'll send away for a proof copy. After I receive that, hopefully to my satisfaction, I shall release it unto the masses. ...to be continued...

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...
