Hurricane Gunfire

"Good evening. This is Don Rother bringing you some breaking news. We've just received word that there's some kind of shootout in the downtown area tonight. Bringing us this breaking news is our very own Shelly Storm. Shelly, what can you tell us?"

"Thanks, Don. As you can see and hear behind me, it's like a war zone out here. There are bullets flying right past me. I saw a couple of knives being thrown. I believe I even saw a rocket launcher going off a few minutes ago. If you're in the downtown area, I can't tell you enough, do not go outside. Go to the safest area in your home, stock up on your essentials, and pray. Nobody should be out here to witness this, placing their lives at risk in the process. I've seen my life flash before my eyes on at least five occasions tonight. Okay, one of the gunmen is getting closer to me. I'm going to go try and talk to him. Remember kids, do not do this at home. Excuse me, sir? Oh, I've been hit! Don, I've been hit! I..."

"Shelly?!? Shelly?!? I believe we've lost Shelly. Someone try to get her back, would you? I don't know what we'd do without her brave, yet stupidly unnecessary reporting. We'll be right back after these messages."

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...
