Book(s) Update

As I've been doing the past two weeks or so, I thought I'd update readers on my coming books. Unfortunately, I battled a pretty nasty cold last week, so I wasn't quite as productive as I would have liked. I'm through page 50 on two books with regard to adding smart aleck commentary for my footnotes. I'm feeling slightly better than I had been, so hopefully this will be a much more productive week. Once again, my goal is to get through all 185+ footnotes this week (yes, I like my research - a bit too much at times, it seems). I'll then have to proofread and edit the two books yet again, along with a few other finishing touches, before I'll be ready to receive my proof copies. With last week's setback and my birthday coming up on the 28th of this month, I'm guessing the books won't become available until early March at the very earliest. It's then my goal to have all four coming books out by the end of spring/start of summer. At that point, hopefully I can give my brain a little bit of a vacation (if it lets me). Well, that's the news for now. I'll be sure to send along another update next Monday. Back to work I go...

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...
