Well, I'm about to call it a day with writing so I can finish a few things around the house in preparation for company this holiday weekend. My writing over this extended weekend will likely be minimal. It has already been an interesting weekend, considering how Mother Nature decided to make her presence felt in over half the country (32 states, I believe). Given that and all the crazy things that can happen during family get-togethers, I wish everyone a very fun and safe holiday weekend! Remember to eat a lot of food, drink a lot of booze, share many laughs, and don't watch Fox News.
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
