With all of his firings, just imagine if Donald Trump were a coach...

With this being March Madness and all and the seemingly ubiquitous departures from the White House, I felt a sports analogy was in order for the Trump administration.

Here's a running list of the administration's officials whom have either been fired or left on their own volition:

1) Acting Attorney General Sally Yates
2) National Security Adviser Michael Flynn
3) Deputy Chief of Staff Katie Walsh
4) Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland
5) FBI Director James Comey
6) Communications Director Mike Dubke
7) Spokesman for Trump's legal team Mark Corallo
8) Press Secretary and Communications Director Sean Spicer
9) Press Aide Michael Short
10) National Security Council Member Derek Harvey
11) Chief of Staff Reince Priebus
12) Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci
13) National Security Council Senior Director Ezra Cohen-Watnick
14) National Security Council Director of Strategic Planning Rich Higgins
15) Office of Public Liaison George Sifakis
16) Chief Strategist Steve Bannon
17) Special Adviser Carl Icahn
18) Deputy Assistant to the President Sebastian Gorka
19) Deputy Assistant to the President Keith Schiller
20) Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price
21) Director of the DHS's Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships Jamie Johnson
22) Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategy Dina Powell
23) Office of Public Liaison Communications Director Omarosa Manigault Newman
24) Deputy Chief of Staff Rick Dearborn
25) Economic Adviser Jeremy Katz
26) Corporation for National and Community Service Chief of External Affairs Carl Higbie
27) Office of National Drug Control Policy Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Weyeneth
28) FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe
29) Staff Secretary Rob Porter
30) Deputy Communications Director Josh Raffel
31) Communications Director Hope Hicks
32) National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn
33) Personal Assistant Josh McEntee
34) Secretary of State Rex Tillerson
35) Undersecretary of State Steve Goldstein

In Donald Trump's first 424 days in office, he's seen 35 members of his staff go a different direction with their careers. That's an average of one departure every 12 days. At this rate if, god forbid, Donald Trump lasted 8 years as president, we'd see 244 staff members looking for new jobs.

Just imagine if Trump were a college basketball coach. If history is any indicator, here's how the series of events would break down:

1) Trump gets the coaching job by saying he's going to make them great again.

2) He brags about knowing and having the best recruits.

3) Whenever something doesn't go to his liking, he kicks a player off the team.

4) Meanwhile he consistently berates players on Twitter, often combining the adjective little with their first name to form a nickname.

5) Little coaching is involved throughout the course of the season, as he tells players to, "Just do it. Get the ball in the hole. Be better."

6) When the team starts losing, he blames the previous coach(es).

7) Whenever he's asked about his team's defeats, he refers to the finals as "fake scores."

8) He consistently showcases that he doesn't understand the rules. "What are you doing? Just take the ball and run with it!"

9) He regularly tries getting his kids into the game.

10) His downfall is when he gets caught banging a porn star by the name of Gina (pronounced jeye-nah) Ballsnhoops.

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...
