An except from my book, "The Kind-Hearted Smarta*s: Vol. 2" (Fox News celebrates their annual War on Christmas)

Fox News celebrates their annual War on Christmas (on pages 137-139 in The Kind-Hearted Smarta*s: Volume 2 - The Wisecracks Continue)
According to Fox News and its followers, 2013 brought with it another year in the War on Christmas. From people abbreviating Christmas to Xmas, to "Merry Christmas" becoming "Happy Holidays," to Christmas trees being called holiday trees, the spirit of the Christmas season is obviously becoming no more. Christmas should be a time to celebrate family, tradition, commercialism, and the Jesus. Yes, we've taken the Christ out of Christmas, but not through silly symbolic measures such as abbreviations. No, if Fox News and the like want to go after people for waging a war against Christmas, perhaps they should look elsewhere, which this following story should illustrate:

Setting: Outside of a Wal-Mart just before Black Friday begins

::Wal-Mart officially opens on Black Friday::

Cindy Christ: ::pushes people:: "Out of my way! Get the hell out of my way, people! Hey, you over there - you better not be going for that doll! That's mine!"

Jessica Magdalene: "No, it's not! It's mine now! That's just too bad, isn't it?"

Cindy: "Give me that!" ::attempts to pull it away from Jessica::

Jessica: "No, it's mine - all mine! I'm giving it to my daughter! Go find something else!"

Cindy: ::smacks Jessica across the face and takes the doll: "That's what you think, you selfish bitch!"

Jessica: ::jumps on Cindy's back, trying to take her down:: "Oh, no, you didn't! You're not going to get away that easy! Give it back! Give it back! I had it first!"

Cindy: "Get off of me, you fat cow! Go find another doll, or some Slim-Fast! At your size, if you slim down fast at all, you'll be down to 350 lbs. within a week!"

Jessica: "What? Take it back! Take it back!"

::the two start wrestling on the floor::

Walter Evil: "Ladies, ladies... Come on, now. Is this the way to behave? There was one more doll hidden behind a few things. Here you are. Now you can both have one for your daughters or whoever you'll be giving them to."

::the two ladies get up and nod toward one another, as they continue huffing and puffing::

Walter: "There - that's better. Now let's all continue our shopping in a peaceful manner. What do you say?"

Cindy: "Okay, that sounds good. Thanks, sir. Merry Christmas."

Jessica: "Yeah, thanks. Merry Christmas."

Walter: "Happy Holidays to you both! Take care."

::the two ladies look at one another::

Cindy: "What? Don't you dare take Christ out of Christmas!"

Jessica: "Yeah! You heathen! Let's get him!"

::the two ladies start pouncing on the guy like Sugar Ray Leonard::

Walter: "Stop it! Please! You're hurting me! What did I do?"

Cindy: "You said Happy Holidays!"

::continues punching him::

Jessica: "Yeah! Take it back! Say Merry Christmas!"

Walter: "I don't understand! Please stop this!"

Jessica: "Say Merry Christmas!"

Walter: "Okay, alright - Merry Christmas."

::the two ladies get up::

Cindy: "There - was that so hard?"

Jessica: "Yeah, geez - those frickin' atheists! Wanna go grab a bite to eat?"

Cindy: "Yeah, I'm getting pretty hungry too. Alright, let's buy these dolls and go."

::Jessica pushes Walter down one more time::

Jessica: "A*shole!"

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...
