The story of Buster Magnum - a felon without a job or Sudafed, but with plenty of guns

Main character: Buster Magnum, who just got out of jail for committing gun- and meth-related crimes

 Setting: Pharmacy

Buster Magnum: "Hey, I'd like to get some Sudafed please."

Pharmacist Cindy Chu: "I'll need to see some ID."

Magnum: "ID? I don't have any ID. I just got out of jail and have really bad, um, allergies."

Chu: "I'm sorry, sir, but I won't be able to provide you with any Sudafed until you show me some ID."


Setting: Job interview to become a greeter at Wal-Mart

Interviewer Chip Filet: "Good afternoon, Mr. Magnum. So, tell me, what interested you in this position?"

Magnum: "I just got out of jail. I need a job. I thought even with my history, I could get this job."

Filet: "I see... So, if I may ask, what were you in jail for?"

Magnum: "I had a meth lab in my grandma's garage. I did a lot of that stuff, and sold it too. When I was high on it one time, I just busted out a couple of my Magnums and killed some people. Drugs will mess you up, man."

Filet: "I see. When's the last time you've done drugs?"

Magnum: "This morning."

Filet: "Well, Mr. Magnum, while I believe in second chances, I honestly don't think this is the place for you."

Magnum: "What? Are you serious? I'm gonna..."

Filet: "SECURITY!"


Setting: A gun show in Hicktown, KY

Gun dealer Jimmy Bobo: "Whatcha lookin' for?"

Magnum: "Guns!"

Bobo: "Well, you came to the right place! What kind of guns are you thinking about getting?"

Magnum: "Some Magnums and assault rifles"

Bobo: "Well, I have plenty of those. Here are the Magnums over here and the assault rifles are just a little past those."

Magnum: "Beautiful"

Bobo: "I know. Aren't they? So, how many would you like to buy today?"

Magnum: "What's the limit?"

Bobo: "There's no limit! Buy as many as you'd like."

Magnum: "Crap. I forgot my ID. I..."

Bobo: "Don't worry about that. Why on earth would we do a background check?"

Magnum: "I know, right?" ::laughs::

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...
