On the "first 100 days" marker, I agree with Trump for a change, but there is a catch...

Over the weekend, Donald Trump called the "first 100 days" marker ridiculous, and he's right. Especially in today's heated political climate, where the two sides in Congress can compromise about as well as a grizzly and a fish, the "first 100 days" market isn't a fair nor a realistic marker for any president. However, in saying that, Donald Trump can't have it both ways, which makes him sound even more ridiculous than the marker he claims to be such.

Throughout his campaign, then candidate Trump made more first-100-days promises than China has people, so how can he be surprised when he gets called out for these failed promises? Repeal and replace "Obamacare"? Hasn't happened. Tax reform? Hasn't happened. Fund and build "the wall"? Again, hasn't happened. Not only has Trump failed to deliver on his first-100-days campaign promises, he just recently said that, through the first 90 days, his administration has accomplished more than any other, before backtracking and suggested that the "first 100 days" marker was ridiculous. Like I said, he can't have it both ways and looks ridiculous for attempting to do so.

To give an even more exaggerated version of Trump's mindset, I can see him engaging in the following conversation with a prospective wife (yes, #4):

Donald Trump: "Honey, if you marry me, I'm going to be the best husband like ever, okay? In the first week, I'm going to buy you three houses, four cars, take you on a worldwide cruise, and even fly you to the moon, believe me! What do you say?"

Carly Fiorina: "Okay, I'll do it."


A year after their wedding day

Trump: "Happy Anniversary, woman!"

Fiorina: "Happy Anniversary."

Trump: "So, if you had to describe me as a husband for the first year, what would it be? Best, bester, bestest, or bigly bestest?"

Fiorina: "I'll be nice and give you a 'C-'."

Trump: "'C-'? 'C' as in 'clever,' right?"

Fiorina: "No, 'C' as in average."

Trump: "Wouldn't 'A' be for 'average'?"

Fiorina: "No, 'A' would be for excellent."

Trump: "Wouldn't 'E' be for 'excellent'?"

Fiorina: "Shutup!"

Trump: "What's wrong, woman?"

Fiorina: "You promised me all these things in our first week of marriage. We've just completed week 52 and still, nothing. Not a damn thing!"

Trump: "Hey, woman, come on, 364 days isn't a fair marker for what I promised to do in 7 days, tops! Give me a break here!"

Fiorina: "Where at?"

Trump: "What do you mean?"

Fiorina: "You said to give you a break, so I'm offering to give you a break!"

Trump: "You mean like break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar?"

Fiorina: "Oh, for f*ck's sake!"

Trump: "So, is that a yes? I promise to get you a Kit Kat bar today!"

Fiorina: "Ugh!"

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!"
