Transcript: 

This morn, an ancient turtle peeked out from his shell

Edging toward his shit, 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 fuck

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

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...
