About me - Jeffrey Weinstein

Hello,

I work for a Customs brokerage house at JFK airport in New York and I live in New Jersey so I have quite a commute every day. I really don't like my job so I started writing to possibly change my line of work.

I enjoy writing very much because I have

Relationships & Family > Blended Families Calling step-parents mom or dad: 1 of 36

I am the proud step-father of a beautiful 10-year old girl. She is my wife's daughter from her first marriage. This is my first marriage. When I first met my wife-to-be, she told me if this relationship was to ever get serious, her daughter was of course, going to be part of the package. I understood. Having a step-parent of...
Computers & Technology > Phone Technologies & Issues Should cell phone use be banned while driving?: 5 of 76

I commute one hundred plus miles every day. Almost all of those miles are spent on high speed parkways. I've seen so much lunacy and idiocy on these roads that I wonder how there aren't more accidents. Along with the usual speeders and tailgaters, I've seen people reading, eating and even a girl or two putting on make-up. So...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: This pain: 4 of 48

You scream but no one hears you You're visible but no one sees you You're in the way but no one notices you You're in pain but no one helps you You're there but no one wants you You try to fly but you're wings are broken You try to climb but you're feet aren't working You try to run but the ground keeps shaking You try to wa...
Food & Drink > Restaurant Reviews Are the most expensive restaurants in the world worth their price tags?: 2 of 24

Just like everything else in this superficial world we live in...going out to eat is a status symbol. Going out to a fancy restaurant is just as important as BEING SEEN in a fancy restaurant. It's quite similar to being seen in a high end retail store like Coach or Louis Vuitton. People will go in to these stores with no int...
Sports & Recreation > Hockey Why hockey is a less popular than other sports: 2 of 15

Hockey in the United States for decades was the fourth major sports behind Baseball Football and Basketball. Today, some say it's been surpassed by NASCAR, UFC and even the World Poker Tour. There are many reasons for this. Hockey is by far the most expensive sport to play which makes if difficult for a lot of working famili...
Personal Finance > Smart Spending Do coupons help you save money, or prompt you to buy things you wouldn't otherwise purchase?: 2 of 14

I am living proof coupons save money. I use coupons in almost every purchase that I make. Food shopping, clothes shopping, gift buying, going out to eat...you name it, I have a coupon for it. We buy the newspaper every Sunday for grocery coupons. We only buy clothes or housewares when we get a Kohl's coupon. If we are going ...
Sports & Recreation > Hockey Why hockey is a better sport than football: 1 of 6

Why is hockey a better sport than football? That is an interesting question. These are my two favorite sports, but I think most people's answers will depend on which side of the 49th parallel they live. I was born and raised in New York and I currently reside in New Jersey. I don't think you'd find many people around here wh...
Entertainment > Musicians & Bands What is your favorite band and why?: 21 of 120

My eyes lit up when I saw this title. It gives me a chance to write another article on my all time favorite band, AC/DC. They've sold over 71 million albums in the U.S. alone. They've released 20 albums, all of which have gone platinum. After 35 years of hard rockin', they continue to sell out arenas and stadiums all over th...
Food & Drink > Candy & Desserts Which is better, plain M&Ms or peanut?: 3 of 17

I do not have chocolate very often but when I do, M&Ms are tops on my list. There are many M&M variations other than plain and peanut... dark chocolate, orange chocolate, wild cherry and coconut are among the most popular but I will stick with plain. In general, I do not like chocolate mixed with peanuts, or mixed wi...
Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Band reviews: AC/DC: 3 of 16

AC/DC is one of the most polarizing bands in rock. Their brand of straight ahead no frills hard rock is seen by many as boring and repetative. Others however, love the music, love the band and see them as more than just a rock group. When they started out in the early 70's, they were just a bunch of teenagers. They were very...
