Girlfriend Application

Name:
(Note: If your name is Halle Berry, you automatically qualify.)

Age:
(You must be between the ages of 18 and 87.)

Job:
(Strippers and prostitutes can qualify, politicians can not.)

Criminal History:
(As long as you never made an appearance on America’s Most Wanted, I won’t fret too much.)

Education:
(You must have passed kindergarten to be eligible.)

Kids:
(If you had octuplets at one time or named any of your children after one of Santa’s reindeer, you will be automatically disqualified. Also, it is of no relevance if your child has a red nose.)

Appearance:
(If you look like any of the following, you will be ahead of the game: Halle Berry, Salma Hayek, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn or Lance Bass.)

Personality:
(A great personality is a must, but if when describing you, friends ONLY mention your personality, then I’m afraid you’re out of luck.)

Sense of humor:
(If you can’t distinguish between sarcasm and seriousness, you will be bopped on the head with a sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel and not be eligible.)

Speech:
(If you speak more quickly than someone does Spanish, more slowly than someone whom works at Wal-Mart, are as monotone as Ben Stein or use more clichés than a football coach, you will have to induce migraines elsewhere.)

Sociability:
(If you can stimulate a deep conversation with a mime, preferably regarding Plato’s Cave, you will automatically reach the finals.)

Fashion:
(If you wear a five-piece swimsuit at the beach or a football uniform at a bar, I’m afraid you will have to either move to Europe or find yourself a girlfriend.)

Politics:
(If you thought George W. Bush was an eloquent speaker, I will know you didn’t get past pre-school and due to that, you will not be eligible to be my girlfriend and hopefully not eligible to vote.)

Religion:
(I’m pretty flexible when it comes to religion, so long as you’ve found Jesus.)

Sex:
(If you’re willing to engage in a one-night stand, you will not be eligible. If you’re willing to prolong the one-night stand for a full weekend, I’ll think about it.)

Habits:
(The only thing you’re allowed to smoke is crack. If you smoke cigarettes or cigars, I’m afraid it’s not going to work between the two of us.)

Hobbies:
(As long as you like everything I like, we’re cool. This would include: Developing Tourette’s Syndrome in a church, chasing tornadoes in a golf cart, streaking around the White House and playing chess while drunk.)

Music:
(If you believe that Fred Durst is as good a writer as Bob Dylan and/or Nickelback is as musically talented as Led Zeppelin, I’m afraid you will not be eligible and I suggest you buy some hearing aids).

Movies:
(If you can not accept the fact I don’t want to see “The Notebook,” I suggest you find a gay man and see how that works.)

Sports:
(If you partake in any of the following “sports,” you may well be on your way to the finals: Playing tennis with a football, bowling with a pinball, playing baseball with a cannonball, playing golf with a basketball or curling.)

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...
