George Zimmerman may want to lash out at himself rather than at President Obama

Three years after the death of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman has come forward, releasing a 13-minute video regarding the incident and his life following it, lashing out at President Obama amongst other things. In the video, Zimmerman made the following statements:

- "Only in a true life-or-death scenario can you have mental clearness to know that you cannot feel guilty for surviving. In all fairness you cannot as a human feel guilty for living, for surviving."

- "By far, the president of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama." (when asked who has been the most unfair to him)

- "To me that was clearly been a dereliction of duty." (regarding President Obama inviting the Martin family to the White House)

- "Unfortunately for the president, I'm also my parent's child and my life matters as well. And for him to make incendiary comments as he did and direct the Department of Justice to pursue a baseless prosecution he by far overstretched, overreached, even broke the law in certain aspects to where you have an innocent American being prosecuted by the federal government."

- "They (the Congressional Hispanic Caucus) aligned themselves with the Black Congressional Caucus and did everything that they could to throw me under the bus. ...[They portrayed me as a] white racist...without knowing anything about my character."

I find it rather humorous that George Zimmerman painted himself as an innocent man with great character in this video, because no matter how much he wants to claim his innocence in the death of Trayvon Martin, the guy's record has been about as clean as a Chicago Cubs fan that said in 1908 he wasn't going to shower until the team won their next World Series. Here's a timeline of Zimmerman's legal troubles since the Martin trial:

7/28/13: He gets pulled over for speeding

8/19/13: He gets pulled over for his windows being tinted too dark

9/3/13: He gets pulled over for speeding again

9/9/13: He gets taken into custody after a "domestic dispute" with his wife, whom just recently filed for divorce

11/18/13: He gets arrested and charged with felony assault for pointing a gun at his girlfriend

9/12/14: He threatens to kill a man in a road-rage incident

1/9/15: He gets arrested and charged for aggravated assault with a weapon, allegedly throwing a wine bottle at his girlfriend

So, in less than two years, this "innocent" and "character-driven" man has been pulled over three times by police, been named in a road-rage incident where he allegedly threatened to kill a man, and has been arrested or taken into custody on three separate occasions due to charges of domestic violence of some kind. Does he seriously think even the least rational among us would buy what he's selling about him being an "innocent" and "character-driven" man? I don't think so. No matter what George Zimmerman wants us to believe through his drivel and no matter how he wants the world to believe he's the true innocent victim here, one person will never speak again because of him, and at least three other lives may have been close to receiving a similar fate.

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

The verdict is in. To no one's surprise, Jonathan Hoenig has been found guilty of being an idiot.

Just recently, when discussing the Michael Brown shooting and whether or not race had anything to do with it, Fox News contributor Jonathan Hoenig said, "You know who talks about race? Racists." One moment while I provide Mr. Hoenig with the well deserved slow-clap. :: slow-claps for two seconds :: So, that was quite the line by Mr. Hoenig, wasn't it? "You know who talks about race? Racists." Well, wasn't he just talking about race? So, by his own words, I guess that makes him a racist. Also, if he wants to be consistent, does this mean that people whom talk about gender are sexists and people whom talk about sexual orientation are homophobes? With that line of thinking, Hoenig would engage in the following back-and-forths: Hoenig: "So, who are you voting for?" A woman: "The Democratic candidate, because he's been adamant about his support for equal rights for women." Hoenig: "You sexist feminist nazi!"
