It's #NationalAuthorsDay! (part 3)

As part of #NationalAuthorsDay, I will be sharing links and info on my three most popular books. 

#2 of 3 is a satire I wrote regarding Trumpism, called, "Trumplandia." 

Here's a brief summary and link: 

What do you get when you combine modern-day conservatism with the critically-acclaimed show, Portlandia? Trumplandia - author Craig Rozniecki's first and hopefully last book of the series and 18th overall. 

James Bob, or Big Jim to some, hailed from Hicktown, West Virginia, where he owned a restaurant which went by the name TBR, or The Best Roadkill. Big Jim was a happily married man of 10 days. He met his wife, Amanda Goldteeth, during a raccoon-eating contest at a Family Values Festival and the two hit it off like Shaquille O’Neal and a basketball rim made of Icy Hot. To the marriage, Big Jim brought with him a son - Lil Jim - he traded a four-wheeler for several years ago, and a daughter - Jima - he claims a stork dropped off to him with a note which read, “Three words: Whitesnake concert.” Amanda Goldteeth-Bob could never have children of her own, so she happily accepted the responsibility of home-schooling Lil Jim and Jima, who were in 11th and 9th grade, respectively. Speaking of respective, James Bob claimed to be a loyal husband and father, a staunch Republican, and a man of God. 

Even though facts, science, and common sense tend to run contrary to the Bobs' beliefs and decision-making, that doesn't stop them from staying the course and providing laughter for all onlookers. So come join the fun in Rozniecki's best book to date - Trumplandia, where he puts laughter first! amazon.com/Trumplandia-Cr #WritingCommunity

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...

Face guarding is legal in college football and the NFL

I just wanted to remind fans and announcers especially, that face guarding is legal in both college football and the NFL. It all comes down to contact. So long as a defender doesn't make contact with an intended receiver, he doesn't have to turn around to play the ball. I can't tell you how many times every week I hear announcers talk about face guarding being a penalty. It's not. I even heard one announcer yesterday state, "If the defender doesn't turn around and play the ball, the ref will call pass interference every time." That's simply not true. Courtesy of referee Bill LeMonnier, he says this with regard to the rule at the college level (answered on 8/12/13): "NCAA rules on pass interference require the face guarding to have contact to be a foul. No contact, no foul by NCAA rules." In the NFL rule book, this is written:  "Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to: (a) Contact by a ...
