“34 Felony Crackdown”

[Part I]

Whoo, whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo

Born in a mansion, the son of a king

His shadow was opportunity

All the failures were greeted with a shrug

No consequences for all his f*ck-ups

 

The three-millionth time was no charm

The truth hatched, he’s more screwed than a chick at a farm

 

34 felony crackdown

There’s no misdemeanors to be found

His life of crime finally has a price

A rat behind bars, afraid of the mice

 

Whoo, whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo

His vests were always legal-proof

His Pampers, rat-hair, and clip-on ties too

Thought he’d get away with everything

Then he got smacked on the a$$ by Stormy

 

The three-millionth time was no charm

The truth hatched, he’s more screwed than a chick at a farm

 

34 felony crackdown

There’s no misdemeanors to be found

His life of crime finally has a price

A rat behind bars, afraid of the mice

 

[Part 2]

We are his, we are his loyal dumb sheep

Do all he says, still believe we are free

If he says “Inject Tide!” to clean our clothes

We’ll get naked and ask, “Where is the needle?!?”

 

The mob is where I felt I belonged

Took “Goodfellas” lit’rally

So I proudly joined the dotards and dons

Where I questioned authority

Where I never questioned authority (No!)

What they say will always go

Unless a whacking is on your bucket list

Then, by all means, just say NO!

 

No!

No!

No!

 

I don’t want to die, so I’ll trust and obey

Nod, smile, nod, smile, nod, smile, repeat

Hopefully my neck and face don’t hurt again

So many times I can say cheese

But for freedom that’s a minor price to pay (Shh!)

Sacrifice life to look creepy

Made to believe I’m free in mind, heart, and soul

No thoughts, feelings inside me

 

I know I am right

Everyone else is wrong

For the truth is on my side

On Opposite Day

 

[Part III]

Baa, sheep, in unison, baa, sheep

Making loud noises, all volume, no substance

Blah, sheep, in unison, blah, sheep

You’re the “Dumbfellas”: The dotards and dons

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...
