Donald Trump celebrates National High Five Day

At a New York City town hall on Thursday, Donald Trump celebrated National High Five Day by high-fiving a supporter's 5-year-old boy, Stubby McSnots, after vaguely answering her question about whether or not North Korea was north or south of South Korea. When Trump hunched over and stuck out his right hand to be slapped by the boy, due to the size of the GOP front-runner's hands, Stubby reached out with two fingers in order to complete the process. When I later asked Stubby why he did that, here's how he responded:

"He has tiny hands. They're the size of my matchbox smart cars. I was gonna ask if he wanted to do a thumb-war, but that wouldn't have been fair, since my thumb is the size of his hand, you know?"

After getting relentlessly mocked about the incident on Twitter, Trump released the following statement:

"Look, you can all have your fun, but we all know that cameras add five pounds to kids' hands and take away five pounds from my hands. It's science, people. Speaking of science, I know a guy who knows a guy who had this friend who had a third cousin who did this study one time which said the smaller one's hands appear on camera, the bigger one's sausage is, if you know what I mean. They don't call me little smoky for nothing, folks. It's yuuuge!"

In light of this incident, anti-Trump protesters nationwide now provide one another with the peace sign to symbolize giving the GOP front-runner a high-five.

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...
