Apparently, Rand Paul is a self-certified doctor. So am I...

When referring to Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, some of his supporters like to say, "Trust him - he's a doctor!" First of all, I don't trust a person's political beliefs just because he or she is a doctor. Secondly, it appears as if Mr. Paul isn't certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology - the lone body which certifies "doctors" in his field. It has been around for about a century and has approximately 16,000 doctors on its rolls.

"Dr." Rand Paul is actually certified through the National Board of Ophthalmology, which has existed since 1999, when Mr. Paul founded it himself. This board lists no more than seven doctors, and is currently operated by him. Paul had previously stated that he had been certified by both boards.

I would now like to thank "Dr." Rand Paul for inspiring me to create the National Board of Awesomeology, where I will be certified as a doctor, and tell women everywhere that they can come to me, with their credit cards, if they're lacking "awesome" in their lives. I will then run for office and share this news with the world. From this point forward, I shall be known as Dr. Roz. Thanks again, Rand!

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...
