Horatio Caine Fever


In my opinion, if there’s a best worst show on television, it’s CSI: Miami. This is for one main reason - David Caruso’s character, Horatio Caine. In fact, I typically only watch the show’s opening sequence. A body is discovered; Horatio looks the body over and has a brief discussion with Frank (detective). Frank makes an observation before Caine places on his magical sunglasses, utters a corny line and The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again” starts to play. His one-liners are a reflection of Caine’s sunglasses (which I’m sure he wears at night, even in his sleep) - magical. I will now run off a few Horatio Caine-esque one-liners of my own. Be sure to have the before-mentioned song, “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” playing while reading these. Also, if you have sunglasses, I suggest you wear them as well. Here we go…

Frank: “It looks like she’s dead.”

Horatio: “She is, Frank, and she always will be.”


Frank: “It looks like this guy was a professional.”

Horatio: “Yes, Frank. He looks to be about as professional ::long pause:: as your wife.”


Frank: “It looks like he was shot.”

Horatio: “Yeah and it’s the shot that killed him.”


Frank: “Around what time do you suppose this happened?”

Horatio: “It happened, Frank, around the time that he was killed.”


Frank: “To drown a woman in a kiddie pool like that, that’s just cold.”

Horatio: “Yes, Frank. Cold and wet.”


Frank: “To fire a rocket launcher at a janitor from 2 feet away, who would do such a thing?”

Horatio: “I don’t know, Frank, but whoever did, is our murderer.”


Frank: “Do you really think your son could have killed this garbageman?”

Horatio: “I don’t know, Frank, but something sure stinks.”


Frank: “A margarine knife? This man was killed with a margarine knife?”

Horatio: “It appears that way, Frank, but at least it’s not butter.”


Frank: “I think this was a suicide. What do you think?”

Horatio: “I think, Frank, ::pause:: that suicide is for pussies.”


Frank: “So, Senator Jakoff and Ms. Johnson were… and now they’re…”

Horatio: “That’s right, Frank. They did the deed and then had the deed done to them.”

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...

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...
