Parody "Tangerine" (to the tune of Bush's "Glycerine")

"Tangerine"
Your "strong thick" skin orange in tint
It can't be for real 'cause Cheetos can't speak
And Cheetos mind
Syracuse too
Not to mention the street cones

Thoughts are white
And the heart's black
Standing there spraying your back
You want this
I don't know why
High school prom always your alibi

Don't let your skin go white

Tangerine
Tangerine

You're never at home
You're at the (tanning) booth all the time
Are you asleep like on your wedding night?
You live in a world
That doesn't seem real
Willy Wonka telling you what to do

If you didn't follow through
He'd turn the rest against you
Oompa Loompas turning their backs
Ready to sue

Don't let your skin go white
It doesn't have to be this way
You could accept yourself
Instead of fulfilling your odd dream
Appearing like a fruit, like a fruit

Tangerine
Tangerine

Don't let your skin go white

Tangerine

Don't let your skin go white

Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine

Orange man white again
Orange man white again
No, I'm just kidding

You wanted it more
You needed it less
Spraying yourself from head to toe
It might be an addiction
Or something Freud couldn't explain
He'd say fine
Just give me some cocaine

Don't let your skin go white
It doesn't have to be this way, this way, this way

Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine

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...
