A Hollywood Fantasy

- "'A Hollywood fantasy,

How I wish it were true,

Instead I'm stuck in reality,

Not knowing what to do.’

 

LOVE this part. This one rocks. Like this poem. Wonderful, amazing and beautiful."

 

A Hypnotic State

Or am wide awake,

If she's real or a figment of my imagination,

As I remain in a hypnotic state.’

 

Love this part. This is wonderful and beautiful."

 

Alien

Alien are the faces,

Constant tests and experiments,

Constant adaptations and changes.’

 

These words are amazing. I love this."

 

A Rat in a Cage

Get fed bits and pieces at a time,

Until I get sore and tired,

And don't have any more stamina left inside’

 

Love this part. This is wonderful."

“One”

- "I feel that this is the truth. I like this write so much. I love it when the truth is told. So amazingly done!"

 

“One Voice”

- “I read all the three poems you posted but especially liked ‘One Voice’. You have beautifully portrayed the helplessness and agony of the person behind the voice and the apathy of the world as a flowing poetry. It actually compels the reader to sit back and retrospect. I applaud your talent!”

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...
