Super Bowl Prediction

Sunday, February 2nd

 Game: Seattle vs. Denver

Pick: Denver - This is a football lover's dream match-up right here, as it pairs off the league's best offense (Denver) with the league's best defense (Seattle). While I typically favor a great defense against a great offense, these great offenses don't typically have Peyton Manning, who, in his record-shattering season, appears to be on a mission for his second Super Bowl ring. Giving him an extra week of watching film is almost unfair for the Seahawks defense, who, in spite of their great season, haven't faced an offense nearly the caliber of Denver. I also liked how Denver's defense stepped up against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots on Sunday. The Seattle Seahawks were again unspectacular on offense, but just good enough to eek out a win against the San Francisco 49ers. Taking all these things into consideration, for the time being, I'm going to go with the Denver Broncos in a 27-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks. I say "for the time being," because if the game-time forecast in New York is scheduled to be extremely cold and snowy, I think this gives an advantage to the Seahawks. They tend to run the ball far more efficiently than the Broncos and their run defense is typically superior to Denver's as well. But, until I hear that the forecast is going to be lousy come game-time, I'll take the Broncos by a field goal.

Result:

Record:

Overall Playoff Record: 6-4 (.600)

Regular Season Record: 163-92-1 (.639)

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...
