Louisville, Kentucky's record-breaking 2-minute concert

A record 175,000 were in attendance at the annual "Kentucky Rockin' Spring Blast" on Saturday to watch The Rolling Stones perform for 2 minutes. After playing slightly over half of their hit song, "Start Me Up," Mick Jagger and company left the stage, only to never return. Those in attendance, many who had arrived hours beforehand, then gave a goosebump-inducing standing ovation, which was said to have lasted three times the length of the concert. When I asked a few of the attendees what they thought of the show and overall experience, here's what they had to say:

- "That's 2 minutes I'll never get back, and it's 2 minutes I never want to get back! It was that good!" - Scarlet Grey (Ann Arbor, Michigan)

- "I tell you what... If I had a dime for every time I lasted longer than that in the bedroom, I'd be broke." - Jim Levenstein (American Pie)

- "That was, without question, the best $300 I ever spent!" - Donald Drumpf (Uranus)

Following the record-breaking show, the founders of the Kentucky Rockin' Spring Blast went to the bank, sporting their new personalized license plate, which read, "SUCKAS".

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...
