Transcript:

When he wakes up, well, I know he’s gonna lie

He’s gonna lie because he’s Dinesh D’Souza

When he speaks out, yeah, I know he’s gonna lie

He’s gonna lie because he lies when his lips move

If he posts tweets, well, I know he’s gonna lie

He’s gonna lie because he’s foreign to the truth

And if he shoots a film, I know he’s gonna lie

He’s gonna lie like a no-good felon would do

But they would watch two-thousand mules

And they would watch two-thousand more

Just so they can claim that votes were stolen

While living in Natives’ home

When he’s working, yes, I know he’s gonna lie

He’s gonna lie because that’s what pro liars do

And when caught porking his Christian mistress named Sue

He’ll give money to her and her husband too

When he gets charged (when he gets charged), oh, I know he’s gonna lie

He’s gonna lie ‘cause he don’t want cell #2

And if he goes there, I know he’s gonna lie

He’s gonna lie, because that’s all D’Souz can do

But they would watch two-thousand mules

And they would watch two-thousand more

Just so they can claim that votes were stolen

While living in Natives’ home

Blah blah blah blah (blah blah blah blah)

Dur dur dur yada dur yada dur yada dur dur dur

Blah blah blah blah (blah blah blah blah)

Dur dur dur yada dur yada dur yada dur dur dur

When he’s praying, well, I know he’s gonna lie

He’s gonna lie, because he’s talking to himself

And when he’s sleeping, well, I know he’s gonna lie

He’s gonna lie, because his teddy bears said so

When he speaks out (when he speaks out), well, I know he’s gonna lie

He’s gonna lie because he lies when his lips move

When he gets charged (when he gets charged), well, I know he’s gonna lie

He’s gonna lie ‘cause he don’t want cell #2

But they would watch two-thousand mules

And they would watch two-thousand more

Just so they can claim that votes were stolen

While living in Natives’ home

Blah blah 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...
