On the "first 100 days" marker, I agree with Trump for a change, but there is a catch...

Over the weekend, Donald Trump called the "first 100 days" marker ridiculous, and he's right. Especially in today's heated political climate, where the two sides in Congress can compromise about as well as a grizzly and a fish, the "first 100 days" market isn't a fair nor a realistic marker for any president. However, in saying that, Donald Trump can't have it both ways, which makes him sound even more ridiculous than the marker he claims to be such.

Throughout his campaign, then candidate Trump made more first-100-days promises than China has people, so how can he be surprised when he gets called out for these failed promises? Repeal and replace "Obamacare"? Hasn't happened. Tax reform? Hasn't happened. Fund and build "the wall"? Again, hasn't happened. Not only has Trump failed to deliver on his first-100-days campaign promises, he just recently said that, through the first 90 days, his administration has accomplished more than any other, before backtracking and suggested that the "first 100 days" marker was ridiculous. Like I said, he can't have it both ways and looks ridiculous for attempting to do so.

To give an even more exaggerated version of Trump's mindset, I can see him engaging in the following conversation with a prospective wife (yes, #4):

Donald Trump: "Honey, if you marry me, I'm going to be the best husband like ever, okay? In the first week, I'm going to buy you three houses, four cars, take you on a worldwide cruise, and even fly you to the moon, believe me! What do you say?"

Carly Fiorina: "Okay, I'll do it."


A year after their wedding day

Trump: "Happy Anniversary, woman!"

Fiorina: "Happy Anniversary."

Trump: "So, if you had to describe me as a husband for the first year, what would it be? Best, bester, bestest, or bigly bestest?"

Fiorina: "I'll be nice and give you a 'C-'."

Trump: "'C-'? 'C' as in 'clever,' right?"

Fiorina: "No, 'C' as in average."

Trump: "Wouldn't 'A' be for 'average'?"

Fiorina: "No, 'A' would be for excellent."

Trump: "Wouldn't 'E' be for 'excellent'?"

Fiorina: "Shutup!"

Trump: "What's wrong, woman?"

Fiorina: "You promised me all these things in our first week of marriage. We've just completed week 52 and still, nothing. Not a damn thing!"

Trump: "Hey, woman, come on, 364 days isn't a fair marker for what I promised to do in 7 days, tops! Give me a break here!"

Fiorina: "Where at?"

Trump: "What do you mean?"

Fiorina: "You said to give you a break, so I'm offering to give you a break!"

Trump: "You mean like break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar?"

Fiorina: "Oh, for f*ck's sake!"

Trump: "So, is that a yes? I promise to get you a Kit Kat bar today!"

Fiorina: "Ugh!"

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...

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...
