George Zimmerman is now apparently a superhero

Is it just me or does this new George Zimmerman story about him rescuing a family from a car crash sound fishy? If it is true, he should be commended for the act. However, the once 100 lbs. lighter neighborhood watch volunteer, who had trouble handling a 17-year old kid he had followed, rescued a family from a car crash after reportedly gaining 100 lbs.? Even stranger, the trapped family has been "unidentified" at this point and a lot of the details of the accident have been vague to be kind. It was a "single-car accident," involved a "blue Ford Explorer SUV," which had "left the road and rolled over," but resulted in "no reports of injuries" to the four occupants of the vehicle.

Alright, so let's just assume for a second that the story is legitimate and Zimmerman was one of two men who helped the family out of their wrecked vehicle. Why is it I keep seeing conservative news outlets and talking heads report this story like it proves that George Zimmerman is a saint, who was rightly found not guilty in the killing of Trayvon Martin? How would this story hold any relevance to the other? It's not like many people think George Zimmerman premeditated his killing of Trayvon Martin and think he is a cold-blooded killer through and through. In any case, though, if he helped to rescue one family, that doesn't negate the fact he killed another person and tore that family apart. If this story is true, then George Zimmerman and the other before-mentioned man should be commended for their efforts. I'd be saying that about anyone whom does a good deed. However, such acts don't negate the one which he was on trial for - shooting and killing 17-year old Trayvon Martin - an unarmed kid who was found to be suspicious and subsequently followed due to this.

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...
