Oscar Outrage
UNITED STATES—Hearing that the Academy Awards would not have a host for the 2019 ceremony did not stun me to say the least. However, after news broke this week about the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences broadcasting awards for 4 categories: film editing, cinematography, makeup and hairstyling and live-action short via commercials are was speechless. The notion...
Dads Matter Too America!
UNITED STATES—Mother’s Day was in May, and June celebrates Father’s Day. I think Father’s Day is a day that is not as highly celebrated as it should be. Yes, moms absolutely matter, but guess what America: dads should be honored too. It seems we place way more emphasis on Mother’s Day then we do for Father’s Day and I...
What To Do With All That Candy?

There is one piece of business we still have to deal with: all that Halloween candy. Some might think it’s no big deal, but it is. Many kiddies are bursting with joy because they were delivered a...
Going House Stir Crazy
UNITED STATES─There are a lot of people right now in this country who are experiencing what I call ‘going house stir crazy.’ Yes, people are actually staying in their homes and not doing anything.

It means we all encounter stress, but everyone...
COVID-19 Is Killing The Economy!
UNITED STATES—This is the craziest thing in the world, but got damn I cannot wait till this COVID-19 pandemic ends.

What do I mean...
Call A Spade A Spade People
UNITED STATES—I am a person who does not believe in mincing one’s words. I do believe sometimes you have to be blunt and direct with people and not sugar coat things. However, with doing that you don’t have to be rude about it, but dancing around an issue only prolongs and causes more issues in my personal opinion. Some...
Spending Or Saving?
UNITED STATES—Are you spender or are you a saver? That is a question so many Americans have to be tasked with time and time again. This is a question that is coming to the limelight as a direct result of so many people recently receiving their stimulus check and refunds from the IRS. There are a lot of Americans...
Why The Reminder For Back To School Items?
UNITED STATES—Oh my, I am baffled beyond being baffled people. It is only the middle of July and a vast majority of retailers have already unleashed their back to school section in their stores. I always find this odd and can never make sense of things. School for most kids just ended less than 3-4 weeks ago, and parents...
Finding A Work Balance
UNITED STATES—It is hard people, we can say all the time that it is so easy to find a work/life balance. We are told countless times we have to find a balance between work and our personal lives.
