Donald Trump Wins National Modesty Award

To everyone's surprise except for his own, Donald Trump presented himself with the first (and possibly last) National Modesty Award today. When accepting his own award for modesty, Trump had this to say:

"I am both proud, honored, and humbled to present myself with this award for modesty today. I would first like to thank the committee, comprised of just myself. I would next like to thank me, because without me, none of this would have been possible. Lastly, I'd like to thank my father, for pushing me to be so rich, so successful, and so awesome, for inspiring me to do it all on my own, thanks in part to the $1 million he gave me, but mainly thanks to what I did with that very very small sum of $1 million. I mean, the $1 million is pretty irrelevant when you think about it. Suppose for a second my father didn't give me the $1 million. Suppose I had to start from scratch, was all on my own, I'd... Where was I going with this? I... Uh... I'd still be here today, with the same kind of money, the same kind of wives, the same kind of hands - yuuuuge ones, folks. I guarantee it. I guarantee it. No, I wouldn't have been able to make more money out of $1 million if my dad didn't give it to me in the first place, but he did and I did, so like, yeah, I built that. Where was I? Oh yes, speaking of modesty, listen folks, you can't spell 'awesome' or 'modesty' without 'Donald,' without 'Trump,' and without 'me,' am I right? So, anyway, in conclusion, I'm grateful for this modesty award I gave myself today and am going to walk away with my head held high today knowing I'm more awesome and modest than all of you losers combined! Thank you, goodnight, and don't forget to purchase something from the Trump catalogs I passed around to everyone. Those giant Trump foam hand thingies are hot right now, so get them while you can! Your babies are going to love them!"

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...
