Wasting Time

UNITED STATES—Time, there is only about 24 hours in a day, but to be honest it’s a lot less, around 23 hours and some change. So the one thing that peeves me more than anything is people wasting my precious time. Yes, I used the world precious because to me I have very little time in a given day,...

Got A Flu Shot?

UNITED STATES—The CDC has reported that last year's flu season was the deadliest in 40 years. I am sure you already heard this on just about every media station who blindly reports it every few hours ending the segment with, "Go get your flu shot, today." So the average person gets nervous, runs to their nearest doctor or give aways...

What Do You Want To Eat?

Are Video Games Dangerous?

UNITED STATES—This is something that has been discussed for years, and I mean years dating back to my early childhood.

Autumn Kicks Off

UNITED STATES—It’s here! Summer is over and I could not be more ecstatic. There are a multitude of reasons which I have alluded to in the past. The biggest being the calmness of the weather. Look it has been a brutal summer for those of us living in the Midwest. I mean jeez, the month of May, June, July...

Late Night Sleep Tantrums

UNITED STATES—I have to have perhaps one of the worst sleep patterns in the world. Some days are great, others are terrible.

Find Your Passion
