Economic Downturn
UNITED STATES—What makes a city vibrant? Is it the geographic makeup, is it the people, is it the businesses, is it the economy, safety, work opportunities? There is a lot in play people, but I'm seriously tackling this issue as a native Detroiter, where all the talk of town right now is the anniversary of the 1967 riots that...
Flaunting Your Wealth
UNITED STATES—I tell people time and time again, there is a major difference between being rich and being wealthy. I always consider those who aim to be rich not thinking logically. Some might ask the question why? Well, I have a bit of an analogy in life, "You can be rich on Monday and flat broke on Tuesday." Yes,...
Money Can Destroy People!
UNITED STATES—It’s not until you become an adult that you begin to consider the importance of having a will. I actually learned the importance of this document while a teenager and how it can protect one’s assets and ensures those that you care about are properly taken care of. With that being said, I’ve always wondered if it is...
Twitter Wars
UNITED STATES—I have to, I mean I have to talk about this. I’ve warned so many people in the past about the dangers of social media, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Snapchat, but the big one seems to be Twitter. Nowadays, everyone is so quick to put their two cents on any situation on Twitter; however, I’m having the biggest problem...
The Laptop Saga!
UNITED STATES—In a matter of 5 years, I have purchased 2 laptops, and I am now on the verge of having to purchase my third. Let me be clear, this guy is not a happy camper. The first laptop I purchased lasted quite some time, a little over 4 years and only broke as a result of me hitting...
Jury Duty Mayhem
UNITED STATES—I’m frustrated America, and if you’ve been in my shoes you might be frustrated also. How many of you have ever been summoned for jury duty? Of course, most Americans have, in most situations probably only ONCE or TWICE in their entire lifetime. Hmm, now what if I told you I have been summoned for jury duty probably...
Bonding In The Midst Of A Crisis
UNITED STATES—Family is the most important thing in the world to me, but it seems the older that I get the more that we drift apart. We are only reminded of how important the bond of family is when a crisis strikes. I have not yet shared this tale, but it’s of importance to me to shed a bit...
James Comey Talks, We All Listen
UNITED STATES—It was perhaps the most anticipated moment in TV history that I can recall in my time on earth. Former FBI Director James Comey testified on Capitol Hill, in front of tons of the Senate Intelligence Committee, not to mention all of America. So many people including myself were glued to the TV screen. I wanted to know...
The Bill Maher Debacle
UNITED STATES—Last week, Kathy Griffin was the comic who was the talk of town, but this week things have shifted to comic Bill Maher. Now, Maher has done something that has plenty of people talking, yet, the backlash for his actions seems quite tame considering what Griffin did in my personal opinion. Making threats to the President of the...
Comedy Gone Too Far!
UNITED STATES—It is no secret to the world that comedienne Kathy Griffin has rubbed quite a few people, let me rephrase that, a lot of people the wrong way. For those who have been sleeping under a rock, Griffin has received plenty and I mean plenty of backlash for that photo shoot of her holding what looked like a...
