New Jersey Senate candidate Steve Lonegan knows how to be a "real man!"

Alright, what is it with this "real man" talk the past couple of days? It was reported yesterday that a group in Tucson, Arizona was spreading around flyers about an openly gay board member at a school in the area, saying they wanted a "real man" at the position. Then today, the "real man" talk continued - this time courtesy of Republican New Jersey Senate candidate Steve Lonegan.

When talking about his opponent - Democrat Cory Booker - Lonegan said the following to Newsmax's Steve Malzberg:

"As a guy, I personally like being a guy. I don't know if you saw the stories last year, they've been out quite a bit, about how he likes to go out at three-o'clock in the morning for a manicure and a pedicure. Maybe that helps him get the gay vote, by acting ambiguous. Although I don't like going out in the middle of the night, or any time of day, for manicures and pedicures. It was described as his peculiar fetish, is how it was described. I have a more peculiar fetish: I like a good Scotch and a cigar, that's my fetish. But we'll just compare the two."

Yes, I'm sure Mr. Lonegan has many "peculiar fetishes" that only "real men" would only be able to understand, such as the following:

- "My peculiar fetish isn't manicures and pedicures. My peculiar fetish is going to the police station, taking off my shirt, and flexing my muscles while Slayer plays on my boombox!"

- "My peculiar fetish isn't manicures and pedicures. My peculiar fetish is riding my motorcycle 100 mph, off a cliff, without a helmet!"

- "My peculiar fetish isn't manicures and pedicures. My peculiar fetish is doing six chicks at once, without Viagra!"

- "My peculiar fetish isn't getting manicures and pedicures. My peculiar fetish is watching football with a burger in my right hand, a beer in my left hand, and a woman sucking my d**k!"

- "My peculiar fetish isn't manicures and pedicures. My peculiar fetish is trying to act overly-manly to compensate for my very small penis!"

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...
