Lame Free E-Cards

E-Cards used to be free all over the place. What happened? They used to be funny as well. Again, what happened? Hallmark is one of the only sites that allows one to send a free E-Card to another anymore.

I can't even go to Hallmark.com anymore. The cards are lame. I'd have better luck going to a random store and buying a card. Anymore, they're (the cards) free for a reason. They're not worth squat. There's a Mother's Day card available on Hallmark.com where these two little critters say "Thanks a million mom" and they go on saying thank you a million times. I kid you not. They run their mouths off saying thank you 1,000,000 times and there's a tally board up above the two guys that keeps track of where they're at. I made it to 15,000 before I finally said heck with it. It goes to a million. Whoop-de-doo. It has to be the longest interactive E-Card in recorded history.

Thank God there are a few free AOL greeting cards available. I found one with a mother reading off a top ten list. There are also some including Arnold Schwarzenegger (Ahh-nold), George W. Bush (Dubya), amongst other funny celebrities (funny meaning funny to laugh at, not with).

Please, someone bring the Free E-Cards back and not the lame ones that are free for many reasons, but the funny interactive ones that can actually garner a laugh, two or seven.

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...
