Chubby Checker not pleased with the "The Chubby Checker" application

Musician Ernest Evans, better known as Chubby Checker and the song "The Twist," is suing Hewlett Packard over an application. The app is called "The Chubby Checker" and what does it do exactly? Measures penis size.

When I read this article, I semi-ignored Chubby Checker's beef with the application at first. All I could focus my attention on was the app itself. Really? We've really gotten to that point? I heard the other week that there's an app for hooking up with friends and now there's one to measure penis size?

Since Chubby Checker's biggest song is the before-mentioned "The Twist" and there's now an application with his name that measure penis size, I may never hear "The Twist" in the same way again. Whenever that song comes on, I'll have to try and shake out the image of men doing the twist in the nude and shaking their penises all about. On that note, I may have to see a shrink soon.

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
