Arroyo Seco Festival A Hole In One
PASADENA—Summer means hot dogs, sweltering heat, pools and Rockin' music festivals across the USA. The new fest on the block is the Arroyo Seco Festival, in its sophomore year, the Brookside golf club, mere steps from the iconic Rose Bowl. On the weekend of June 23 and June 24, the lush and spacious greens welcomed luminaries Jack White, The...
Out With The Old, In With The New
UNITED STATES—The USA football team will be devastated that they were unable to qualify for the world cup for the first time in 32 years. They have been an ever-present side in the competition of late and perhaps they took their spot for granted. World Cup 2018 will have some new teams to cheer for and support this year...
Junk Food Or Actual Food
UNITED STATES—Food, it is the one thing that we all consume on a daily basis. It’s something that is needed for survival; however, I really want to pinpoint the conversation about what food is being purchased. Things that should be consumed versus those food items that are not so good for the body, but we cannot resist. Let’s discuss...
“Secret Of Mana” Is A Classic
HOLLYWOOD—I’ve talked about my gaming past some time ago. Like I told so many people who ask me why I no longer play video games? Well, the first would be the fact that I’m an adult, and the second would be life is so busy where is the time. However, I have started to carve out a small time...

Stop Twists On Reality TV!
UNITED STATES—I’ll be the first to admit it, I love a good reality show, but more importantly reality-competition shows. It’s like the goal of the show is to get into the psyche of the viewer so they question what they WOULD DO if they were placed in a particular situation. The thing about a riveting reality-competition series is to...
The Video Game King Returns!
UNITED STATES—I used to think for years that writing was my primary solace when it comes to relaxing the mind. However, I’ve come to recently discover that something I used to be skilled at as a kid, seems to provide the same solace for me as an adult. As a kid I was coined the video game king. Don’t...
Start Preparing For Spring!
UNITED STATES—Man, I cannot believe I’m saying this, but I’m so happy I can sense that spring will soon dawn upon us. Depending on what part of the United States you live in, the past few weeks have been brutal. This is especially evident for those who reside in the Midwest or the Northeast. I mean the frigid temperatures...
Amazon Echo Vs. Google Home
UNITED STATES—The idea of autonomous vehicles (and yes it is still just an idea) does not appeal to me, as a car guy. However, automation itself, is not completely unappealing to me.
An automated personal assistant for example is something everyone wishes they had. Something to help you with all your tedious/mundane tasks. Something to help keep your life organized...
New Year, New Resolutions!
UNITED STATES—Well in less than a week we will have to bid farewell to 2017 and say hello to 2018. With the New Year upon us, so many of us will begin to tackle what has become a tradition for so many people: resolutions! I have talked about this before and with good reason people, because so many of...
