Podcast: "I Feel Snitty," Episode 99: "'Tangerine' (parody based on the Bush song, 'Glycerine')" is now available!

The latest episode of my podcast ("I Feel Snitty"), entitled, "'Tangerine' (parody based on the Bush song, 'Glycerine')," is now available! Here are the lyrics:

“Tangerine” (to the tune of Bush’s “Glycerine”)

Your “strong thick” skin is orange in tint

It can’t be for real ‘cause Cheetos can’t speak

And Cheetos do mind

Syracuse too

Not to mention all the street cones

 

The thoughts are all white

And the heart’s black

Standing there spraying your back

You do 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

At the (tanning) booth all the time

Are you asleep like your wedding night?

You live in a world

That doesn’t seem real

Willy Wonka telling you what to do

 

If you don’t follow through

He’ll turn against you

Oompa Loompas mad

Pissed and ready to sue

 

Don’t let your skin go white

 

It doesn’t have to be this way

You could finally accept the truth

Instead of fulfilling your dream

To oddly appear 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 am just kidding

 

You wanted it more

You needed it less

Head to toe you spray yourself

An addiction?

Something Freud can’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

 

Tangerine

Tangerine

 

Tangerine

Tangerine

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...
