Unfortunately, due to an incident which occurred this past weekend which I can't get into, I think I'll have to take a break from writing. I'm not sure how long this break will be. However, I've been shaky ever since the incident, have had trouble eating and sleeping, have suffered from nightmares/night-terrors, have gotten slightly paranoid about even stepping outside of the house, seem to be suffering from short-term memory loss, have felt a constant sense of nausea and heartache (along with fatigue and weakness), and have at least temporarily lost the focus necessary to get much work done. I sincerely hope these feelings subside, and sooner rather than later, so I can get back to doing what I love - which is writing. But I can't make any guarantees at this juncture. I just ask for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Thanks.
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
