Facebook: To "like," or not to "like," that is the question...

It's funny; just two years ago, I was still hooked on Facebook and couldn't find a reason to join Twitter. Now, since I found a reason to join the social networking site for business reasons, I'm hooked on Twitter and am getting rather burned out with regard to Facebook. One of the reasons for this burn out is the click-like-if-you-agree posts. These posts appear to be ubiquitous, obvious, and suspicious. They're seemingly everywhere on the newsfeed, only an incredibly odd or sick individual wouldn't agree with them, and due to this, it leaves one (me in this case) to wonder if they're some kind of scam.

Here are just a few (exaggerated) examples of such posts:

- "I love my mom! Click like if you love yours too!"

- "It sucks when soldiers die in war! Click like if you agree!"

- "Cancer sucks! Click like if you think it sucks also!"

Well, there's a reason why these posts are so ubiquitous and obvious - it is indeed a scam, as can be read about here: http://daylandoes.com/facebook-like-scams/

In any case, I thought I'd have a little fun with these ridiculously obvious-to-like posts and share a few of my own:

- "I hate it when, in the morning, you wake up hung over and in bed with your naked first cousin and her boyfriend, Bubba! Click like if you agree!"

- "Of all the ways I don't want to go, I don't want to die in a fire as I'm teaching my Boy Scout troop how to roast marshmallows! Click like if you don't want to die that way either!"

- "If you think it'd suck to be a priest and get caught fornicating with a nun in a confession booth, click like!"

- "One time I dreamt of doing heroin, coke, and pot at the same time, while playing the drums in a marching band, and upon waking up, thought it would be a bad idea! Click like if you think so too!"

- "If you like helping other people make money off posts like this one, click like now!"

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...
