Let's Help a Single Mother and Her Child

As soon as he got news of her pregnancy, he darted. Absent throughout their kid's entire childhood, the single mother was unable to track him. When she finally did, she took the matter to the courts. For the past year, she's continually seen her child-support payments delayed by the courts in an uber-red, anti-women's rights state. Unfortunately, due to said delays and the costs which come with them, she's reached the point of potentially having to give up her legal fight, in not possessing the funds necessary to continue it. This greatly upsets me. As the saying goes, "It takes two to tango." How is it right or fair for all the financial weight to be placed on a mother's shoulders, and for her to then reach the point of legal surrender, due to the slow, backwards court system of a Republican-led state, and for the absent father to be permitted to continue being void of any responsibility for the child? 

I've created a GoFundMe for this strong, intelligent, hard-working single mother, so that she can continue to fight for her child's well-being and future in court. If you or anyone you know, can help in her fight for child support, it would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, due to the possible legal repercussions of doing as much, I'm unable to get into specifics about the case, at least in this post. If you have any questions, however, feel free to direct-message me, and I'll attempt to answer them the best I can. 

Women's rights matter. Children's opportunities and futures matter. Let's help brighten this child's future by fighting for this woman's rights.

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...
