Podcast: "I Feel Snitty," Episode 119: “'Turtle’s Spell'” (parody based on the Billy Idol song, 'Rebel Yell')" is now available!

The latest episode of my podcast ("I Feel Snitty"), entitled, “'Turtle’s Spell'” (parody based on the Billy Idol song, 'Rebel Yell')" is now available! 

Here are the lyrics:

This morn, an ancient turtle peeked out from his shell

Edging toward his sh*t, as he likes the nasty smell

Quite proudly he tells all the others to smell it too

Then yells, “You’re screwed if you don’t smell my poo!”

Because

 

Corrupt with power, they all went, “Blah, blah, blah”

Put under the turtle’s spell: “Blah, blah, blah”

Corrupt with power, they went, “Blah, blah, blah”

Under turtle’s spell: “Blah, blah, blah”

Blah, blah, blah

 

On the road, he sees his sister cluck for help

Chirping that she needs a new home for her and the kids

“I can’t hear what you’re saying,” he responds

Before he tucks his head back in his shell

Because

 

Corrupt with power, they all went, “Blah, blah, blah”

Put under the turtle’s spell: “Blah, blah, blah”

Corrupt with power, they went, “Blah, blah, blah”

Under turtle’s spell: “Blah, blah, blah”

 

Gettin’ slower by the day

He is movin’ like a sloth that is playin’ dead

Gotta be a hundred-something years old

Thinks he looks like Brad Pitt as Benjamin Button

 

With his age doesn’t come wisdom

He’s really dumb as f*ck

With the wrinkles comes corruption

As well as stupid luck

 

He’d sell his soul for power

If he had a soul to sell

He, his cronies gave them over

Free of charge, as they, as they, as they head to hell

Because

 

Corrupt with power, they all went, “Blah, blah, blah”

Put under the turtle’s spell: “Blah, blah, blah”

Corrupt with power, they went, “Blah, blah, blah”

Put under the turtle’s spell: “Blah, blah, blah”

Blah, blah, blah

 

Oh, that wicked turtle

They went, “Blah”

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

 

Yeah, that wicked turtle

They went, “Blah”

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

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...
