This is kind of funny... Going from a*shole to one-in-a-million in a 24-hour span! Go me!

Well, as I mentioned in a blog yesterday, I received a comment on my book excerpt "Girlfriend Application," which basically laid claim that I'm an a*shole and she then went on to give me a pointer on how to not come across as such an a*shole. She also referred to me as "rude" and "obnoxious". I love the word choice she used in her comment, as she kind of came across as rude, obnoxious and the other word as well. Eh, whatever.

Anyway, so I was Mr. A*shole last night. I then checked out the social networking sites I have posted written work of mine on this morning and at GSPoetry.com, I received a comment from a woman with regard to my poem, "Better Than Sex". Let me share the poem first. Here it is:

To look into your eyes,
Feel your hand in mine,
To see you laugh,
See you smile,

To hold you tightly,
Hear you breathe,
Rub your back,
Watch you sleep,

To buy you gifts,
Take you out,
Write you poems,
Joke around,

To wash the dishes,
Cook and clean,
Talk to you after work,
Do the laundry,

To take care of the kids,
Take care of the dogs,
Go on errands,
Shop at the mall,

To feel your lips upon mine,
A soft and gentle touch,
Filled with passion,
Filled with love,

To fall asleep in your arms,
Relaxation at its peak,
Waking up filled with joy,
As you lay right beside me,

To make you laugh,
To make you smile,
To make you happy,
That’s all I want.



In response, this woman said and I quote, "They actually make men like you?!! where can i find one? ;)"

There you have it, in just a 24-hour span, I went from Mr. A*shole to Mr. Perfect. Given these two statements, that I'm an a*shole and asking where a gal can find a guy like me, I guess some (perhaps) many women are looking for a*sholes. Hm... In that case, I hope that first commenter was onto something. Ladies, here I come! (ah, how I love ambiguity)

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 ...

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...
