What I learned in Week 2 of the NFL season...

In Week 2 of the NFL season, I learned...

- ...that when someone says, "Did you hear the one about the Cleveland Browns, Oakland Raiders, Jacksonville Jaguars, Washington Redskins, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers winning on the same day?," it's no longer just a joke.

- ...that Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson may soon alter the title of the song "Awesome God" to "Fickle God."

- ...that New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin and Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll made this preseason bet with one another: "I bet you a year's salary I can get my team to blow 4th quarter leads in every game this season!"

- ...Aaron Rodgers doesn't believe it's part of God's plan for me to write this sentence.

- ...Cam Newton will likely retire at the end of the season to break the world record for largest gymnast.

- ...Philadelphia Eagles tailback DeMarco Murray has lowered his season goal to 100 rushing yards.

- ...,whether he's in the game or sidelined for a couple weeks with a hamstring injury, no one can tell the difference from looking at Jay Cutler's facial expression.

- ...Rex Ryan's coaching career will likely end when he simultaneously punches Bill Belichick in the face and kicks Tom Brady in the deflated-balls.

- ..., after losing DeMarco Murray to free agency, as well as Dez Bryant and Tony Romo to injury, naive Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is thinking, "We're exactly where we want to be."

- ...die-hard Chicago Bears fans from the past have gone from enthusiastically shouting "Da Bears" to nonchalantly mumbling "Da, eh, whatevers."

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...
