Please Sign This Sexual Consent Form Before You Do Me

Richard Cummings

sexual-consent-contractIn talking with some of my recent college graduate friends about sex in college now-a-days, one girl mentioned to me that the participants had to sign a sexual consent legal form before actually having sex.

Excuse Me? 

In our discussions, a few of the gals mentioned that they had had drunk sex a few times that they could scarcely remember.  So, if the guy, presumably also drunk, does not get the girl to sign the sexual consent form, can he then be accused of rape?  Or, better yet, could he accuse her of rape?

A Reaction to Michael Jackson’s Death

Richard Cummings

michael-jackson-obituaryLast night, I sat down to watch the evening news when I heard:  Michael Jackson is dead.

My first reaction was utter disbelief–he’s too young to be dead!  We received no clues, no warnings, no serious ill-health reports.  For a moment, I thought they must have the report wrong.  How could Michael Jackson be dead?

Priests: Presumed Guilty

Richard Cummings

Most Priests Have Dedicated Their Lives to Helping OthersMy uncle just came by for a visit.  My uncle is a priest, a Jesuit priest no less.  If you want to get technical, they’re super-priests.

My uncle has like 5 masters degrees.  Jesuits are uber-educated as they have to study for like 13 years before becoming full-fledged Jesuits.  It’s great-you to get to keep going to school well beyond when you’re suppose to stop going to school and get a job.  Your only trade-off for this?  A lifetime vow of poverty and celibacy.

Cabo Polonio, Uruguay: Serenity Now

Richard Cummings

cabo-polonio-horses-beach-2When I am asked, “What is your favorite place in Uruguay, the answer invariably is Cabo Polonio.”  It’s a little slice of Heaven on Earth.

Like Heaven, it is also very difficult to get to-you have to pay attention to what you are doing or you’ll miss it.

My friend Vicky and I had decided to rent-a-car in Montevideo because we were visiting several beaches on this journey.  (See renting a car in Uruguay for more information.)  However, if you intend to just visit Cabo Polonio for a few days, it is much easier to take the bus from Montevideo if not but for one simple reason:  The bus driver knows where Cabo Polonio is!

Know-It-Alls

Richard Cummings

know-it-allAre you a know-it-all?  If so, I have one piece of information that you do not know:  You annoy everybody!

There are two kinds of know-it-alls:  know-it-alls who know nothing and know-it-alls who actually do know almost everything.  I am not sure which is more annoying.Read More

What is Google

Richard Cummings

What is GoogleMany people want to know, “What is Google?”

Do you find it ironic that people probably search Google looking for the term What is Google? I do.

But that is just me.  I enjoy irony.

If we are looking for a stodgy definition of Google, we could always turn to WikiPedia who states that:

Google Inc. is a multinational public cloud computing and Internet search technologies corporation.

How boring!

21 Movie Review: No BlackJack but It’s Not a Bad Hand

Richard Cummings

21-movie-reviewIf you’re a fan of gambling (and seeing people bring down the house), you’ll enjoy the movie 21. I certainly did…here is my review of the movie 21!

I was anxious to see the movie 21 as I had read the book Bringing Down the House, the book on which the movie is based.  However, aside from the idea of a bunch of MIT kids taking on Vegas, there are few similarities between the book and the movie.

One Thing a Woman Should Never Divulge

Richard Cummings

woman-embarrassedCan a woman say something that may cause a man to leave her rather quickly? If so, this might be that thing.

If you are single, you may be able to relate to what I am about to say.  If you are married, it may be somewhat more foreign.

When you are a single man, you tend to do a lot of dating…or hopefully you do.  Dating is fun and exciting and sometimes you allow yourself to be open to many choices.

My Favorite Books

Richard Cummings

my-favorite-booksWhat are your favorite books? This page is filled with my favorite books. Do you like my choices? Let me know what you think in the comments…

Often, a person’s personal library says a lot about them.

I have no idea what mine says about me, but I’d thought I’d share with you some of my favorite books. These are the books that I usually have near the nightstand and am apt to pick up and read time and time again.

Also, as I am traveling now and had to part with physical book collection, this list will be helpful to me as I will be re-buying all of these in their Kindle version so I can take them with me anywhere.

Without further ado, here she is!
