Donald Trump doesn't speak "good"

Donald Trump once said,"I know words. I have the best words." Let's put that theory to the test, shall we?

While recently speaking to Fox News host Sean Hannity, Trump said this:

"The media is very unfair. They're very biased, You look at The New York Times, I mean, the fail - I call it 'The Failing New York Times' because it won't be in business for another, probably more than a few years unless somebody goes in and buys it and wants to lose a lot of money. But The New York Times is so unfair. I mean they write three, four articles about me a day. No matter how good I do on something, they'll never write good. They don't write good. They have people over there, like Maggie Haberman and others, they don't - they don't write good. They don't know how to write good."

Whether that claim is true or not, one thing is for certain - Donald Trump doesn't know how to speak "good." He thinks so, though, which makes it doubly as awful. I can just imagine Trump teaching a public speaking course and starting the semester with the following speech:

"Public speaking, speech, or whatever, is all about speaking good, and let's face it, I speak gooder than all of you, believe me! I, at one time, was where all you losers are, and didn't speak nearly as bigly good as I do now. So I practiced, until I spoke good, then gooder, and finally reaching goodest.
You all can speak goodest too if you talk like me and follow every word of this 2-page book I wrote, entitled, 'Making English Drumpf Again: How to Speak It Way Gooder.'"

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...
