Point of View

The Royal Wedding

UNITED STATES—It was the event that has been talked about for months, and I mean that literally. All I’ve seen on the news stations, in magazines, on the internet is the impending nuptials between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. I mean I was so happy for May 19 to come and go, because we no longer have to hear...

Buying That First House

UNITED STATES—I think it is the one thing that we all dream about, well at least most of the people I know think about it. What am I referring to? The notion of purchasing your first home! It is considered a milestone for most Americans and something to really toot your horn or be ecstatic about. Purchasing a home...

Motivation To Exercise

UNITED STATES—I have been getting this question a lot lately: what motivates you to exercise? Now, that may seem like a simple question, but to be honest it’s not. It’s not all about eating and staying healthy, it provides a moment of solitude. Look, I’ll go much more in depth on what I mean by that later, but I...

Do You Pay The Bill?

UNITED STATES—As adults many of us are fully aware that if there are basic essentials you want to have you have to pay for them. For some reason I know way too many people in my life who don’t seem to understand that. Nothing pays for itself for free. If you want lights, you have to pay for them,...

The Stormy Daniels Mess

UNITED STATES—Adult film star Stormy Daniels has been pushed into the public sphere larger than her adult film career. Her alleged affair with now President Donald Trump has been a story of the hour for months now. It seems it is the only thing that anyone and I mean almost anyone can talk about in the political arena. 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...

Living Without Electricity

UNITED STATES—It’s amazing how we take things for granted in life. The basic essentials like water, air, light, gas, food, clothing and shelter just to name a few. Can you imagine living without electricity? For many of us, it would be something impossible for many of us to grasp, but it happened to me this past weekend. A wind...

The Kanye West Debate

UNITED STATES—I almost wrote on this topic last week, but for reasons I cannot fathom I resisted the temptation. I didn’t just want to jump into a situation and write about something because the rest of the world was talking about it. The one thing I have to point out is the fact it ushered in a debate about...

Sleep Without Sleep

UNITED STATES—This past week has been a doozy for me to say the least. Not only was the stress of school and work mounting, but it seemed like no matter what I did, it was nearly impossible for me to get a good night’s sleep. I tried to go to sleep early, that did not work. I put myself...

Saving More Money

UNITED STATES—Money management, it’s something we continue to talk about a ton, but for good reason. Americans are in debt and it seems that debt is growing more nowadays than in the past. We know why that is? More have access to plastic, and I’m not only referencing credit cards, but debit cards as well. When money is tight...
