Colin Kaepernick criticized for wearing a Miami Dolphins hat

San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback Colin Kaepernick has received some criticism in recent days due to him being spotted wearing a Miami Dolphins hat during a 4th of July celebration.

Kaepernick responded to the criticism by tweeting the following message:

"I'm goin wear what I want regardless of what you think, all you need to worry about is the fact that I grind for my teammates and the 49ers! I plan on doin this until they won't let me in the building! #ridiculous #y'allmustbebored"

I guess my response is, who the heck cares? It's not like Kaepernick is a free agent or trade bait or thinking about heading elsewhere at the moment. He likely wore the Dolphins hat just due to fashion -  he liked the colors, how it looked, etc. It means absolutely nothing as far as his loyalty to the San Francisco 49ers is concerned. If when playing against the Dolphins, he hands the ball off to a Miami defender several times during the course of a game and applauds when they score, then the media and 49ers' fans may have something to gripe about. But for just wearing a Miami Dolphins hat, the man should be left alone. If I were a 49ers fans, so long as he played great for the team, I couldn't care less if Kaepernick was decked out in St. Louis Rams, Arizona Cardinals, or Seattle Seahawks attire from Monday through Saturday, or if he decided to walk around downtown San Francisco in nothing but a speedo which said "I have a man crush on Norm from Cheers."

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...
