Taking On Adult Responsibilities
UNITED STATES—I’ve always asked myself the question at times, at what age should a child begin to take on adult responsibilities? Should it be as soon as they become a teenager, mid-teens, at the age of 18 or perhaps when they turn 21? It has been argued that starting the notion of responsibilities at an early age is a...
Ways To Save More Money
UNITED STATES—Saving money is not easy, but it all starts with the individual having a bit of discipline and resisting temptation. I always tell people you have to respect money to a degree in order to properly save. Some of you might be asking exactly what does that mean, “respect money?” It means you have to treat money like...
Good Ole Days Of Halloween
UNITED STATES—Halloween is almost here America, and as I reflect on Halloween when I was a kid compared to being an adult, things have vastly changed. Something that many people might be surprised to hear about is that growing up as a kid I did not always go trick-or-treating. Yes, I know this might sound crazy, but it’s true?...
The Adrenaline Rush Of Horror Films
UNITED STATES—As a fan of horror, I have been asked countless times about my enjoyment of the genre. It sometimes annoys me, but at the same time I think it is a great question to enlighten people about the genre that so many consider drenched with violence, blood and gore. And to a large degree that is true, but...
Death Strikes Unexpectedly
UNITED STATES—Death it is indeed something that is part of life. It happens all the time, and for some people it happens unexpectedly; to the point that it punches you so hard in the gut it becomes difficult to recover. I will admit 2017 has been a difficult year for me to say the least. I have seen plenty...
Humans Are Being Replaced By Machines!
UNITED STATES—People might think I’m crazy, but I don’t care, I’m going to say it: I like interacting with people! It seems like with the constant evolution of technology we’re headed into a direction where the thought of dealing with people will become non-existent and that is NOT a good thing America. Low and behold I walk into my...
Why Some Work And Others Refuse To Work
UNITED STATES—Work, it is something most Americans dread, but we understand it is a must as an adult. It’s how you keep a roof over your head, it’s how you put food on the table, it’s how you pay for utilities and those everyday items so many have come accustomed to without realizing you actually have to work for...
Sexual Harassment In Hollywood
UNITED STATES—I was in utter shock to learn in recent days that Hollywood film executive Harvey Weinstein had been accused of sexual harassment in the past and that it had been transpiring for decades. This is the guy who established Miramax films and helped usher in The Weinstein Company. Not to mention he has been the name behind some...
Social Media And Mainstream America
UNITED STATES—Social media, it has its benefits, but at the same time it has massive drawbacks. I still think back to nearly a decade ago, where social media was just beginning to become prevalent, but was not as prevalent as it has become today. Why? It is everywhere and no matter what you do it can easily make internet...
Sports Rivalries In College
UNITED STATES—I’m not the biggest sports fan, but when it comes to sports I love college football and college basketball. The biggest reason is that you actually see athletes fighting for something; they have something to prove if you ask me. What I find more interesting is the rivalry that exists between certain colleges that can get fans riled...
