Got E.D.?

We can't say it, can we guys? It's now even being abbreviated on commercials, because we can't deal with it.

Have E.D.? Cialis may be right for you! Potential side effects are: Heart burn, liver cancer, heart attack, suffocation, loss of blood and death. In extreme cases, fellas may get permanent boners. If that is the case, seek medical attention immediately.

That's right, E.D. is the shortened version of Erectile Dysfunction. Guys just can't say it, can they?

"Hey baby, I have erectile dysfunction. That's right, but I'm on Cialis, so all is well."

No, it's "I had a problem with E.D., but thanks to Cialis, things are going great again! My wife is happy! I'm happy! All thanks to Cialis!"

I'm tired of the euphemistic jargon and sugar-coating. Just say it! They need to come out with a blunt version of commercials like these, such as this one:

"You know, I keep trying, trying and trying. My wife is getting frustrated with me. Why? Because I can't get it up. We've looked into Kama Sutra, toys, anything and everything you could possibly think of, but I just can't maintain an erection. It just goes limp on me. It's embarrassing. I just don't feel like a man anymore. I'm afraid that because I can't get it up, my wife is going to head elsewhere for sexual satisfaction. But now, my worries are over, because I've found Cialis! I can get it up any time and every time with Cialis! Yeah, I look a little funny walking around the grocery story with an obvious erection staring straight up at me for four to five hours, but it's all worth it, because now my wife is happy and I don't have to worry about her going elsewhere! Thanks Cialis!"

Now, that'd be a lot more informative than just referring to the situation as E.D. I hope they read my blog someday and come out with a better and more comedic effort next time. I won't get my hopes up (pun intended), but I'll be keeping my eyes and ears open for Cialis, Levitra and Viagra commercials.

Another look at "The Nightly Show" with Larry Wilmore

After its first week, I gave The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore a B+ grade. While I didn't think the show appeared to be perfect by any stretch of the imagination, I also liked the Daily Show  meets Politically Incorrect vibe I got from it, and thought, with the proper adjustments, the show would indeed provide a great fill-in for The Colbert Report . In the show's succeeding weeks, however, I've been less impressed by it and think that if it doesn't make certain adjustments, it could be in jeopardy of losing many long-time viewers of the show's time slot. One major issue I think the show's had to this point is a lack of direction. It's been unable to decide whether it wants to be a comedy show with serious conversation sprinkled in or a serious show with comedy sprinkled in. It's almost as if the show's writers want to give The Nightly Show a Real Time with Bill Maher feel. The problem with that idea or format is the fact Real Time is an hour lon...

My first book review of "Penetrating the Heart of Life: Ambiguous In Thought, Ambivalent In Feeling"

Well, I received my first book review on this poetry-compilation book I completed and published late last year, but have finally gotten around to marketing now. The reviewer gave it 5 out of 5 stars and said: "I enjoyed the poetic journey the writer has taken me on. From darkest days and hopeful optimism to the conclusion of hope realized. The visual images that the poem titled "Room Temperature" elicits, made me think of the song, "Horse With No Name" sung by the band America. In a similar manner, another poem – "Deafening Sigh-lence" reminded me a great deal of Simon & Garfunkel’s song, "The Sound of Silence". There are so many poems in this book that I related to, that I felt a connection to the author and felt that we were traveling on this journey together." http://www.lulu.com/shop/craig-rozniecki/penetrating-the-heart-of-life-ambiguous-in-thought-ambivalent-in-feeling/paperback/product-18677501.html

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...
