What I learned in week 4 of the NFL season

In week 4 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...I could probably throw for over 300 yards against the Washington Redskins defense.

- ...what Aaron Rodgers was really saying last week was, "It's spelled R-E-L-A-X. Seriously, Packers fans need to relax. We're about to play Jay Cutler."

- ..., after he retires from football, J.J. Watt may go into acting and star in his own super-hero-themed series.

- ...when Tennessee and Jacksonville square off this season, less people will watch that game than a 2 am Murder, She Wrote re-run.

- ...it doesn't matter in what city, state, or country Oakland plays, they're still bad.

- ...Rex Ryan and Rob Ryan are polling family members on where they should move after the season.
- ...Dallas coaches learned a three-letter word in the off-season: R-U-N.

- ..., for as beaten up as the Atlanta Falcons offensive line is, rumor has it quarterback Matt Ryan is about to tell the media that he has a feeling he may come down with the flu before the team's next game.

- ...the Pittsburgh Steelers may soon be nicknamed team Mother Nature, because they're less predictable than the weather.

- ..., after he leaves New York, Michael Vick will author a book, entitled, "Why I Should Have Started Over 'Pick-Six' Smith."

My first book review of "Penetrating the Heart of Life: Ambiguous In Thought, Ambivalent In Feeling"

Well, I received my first book review on this poetry-compilation book I completed and published late last year, but have finally gotten around to marketing now. The reviewer gave it 5 out of 5 stars and said: "I enjoyed the poetic journey the writer has taken me on. From darkest days and hopeful optimism to the conclusion of hope realized. The visual images that the poem titled "Room Temperature" elicits, made me think of the song, "Horse With No Name" sung by the band America. In a similar manner, another poem – "Deafening Sigh-lence" reminded me a great deal of Simon & Garfunkel’s song, "The Sound of Silence". There are so many poems in this book that I related to, that I felt a connection to the author and felt that we were traveling on this journey together." http://www.lulu.com/shop/craig-rozniecki/penetrating-the-heart-of-life-ambiguous-in-thought-ambivalent-in-feeling/paperback/product-18677501.html

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...

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...
