Book(s) Update

Well, it appears as if my books The Kind-Hearted Smarta*s - Volume 2: The Wisecracks Continue (uncensored version) and The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck - Volume 2: The Wisecracks Continue (censored version) won't be released as early as I had expected. Unfortunately, while I've done all I can to this point, my proofreader/editor is running behind schedule, so all I can do is wait until she finishes that stop in the process, before I go through the books one final time, and get them finalized for publication. I sincerely hope they'll be completed and made available by late-March or early-April, at the very latest.

On a more positive note, while awaiting a second pair of eyes to proofread and edit the two before-mentioned books, I've been hard at work on finishing two other books (LOL at the GOP - Volume 4: Guns, Jesus, Corporations, and Fetuses and LOL at the GOP - Volume 5: You Can't Spell "Forgot To Take Their Crazy Pills" Without "Tea Party"). I finished the researching and implementing footnotes steps for both books last week. This week, it will be my goal to add sarcastic commentary for all 212 footnotes, proofread and edit the books next week (these steps may take three weeks, but I'll push myself to finish them in two), and wait another proofreader/editor to look things over after all of that has been accomplished. When all is said and done, I think it's my goal to have all four books out by early May (at the latest). 

Well, speaking of which, I better get back to work. As always, I'll be certain to update readers on the matter next Monday, unless I have something big to announce prior to that. Stay tuned...

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...
