Second Chances For Drummer Boy
MALIBU—My daddy always said… fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. He wasn’t big on giving second chances, although he was the most forgiving father and gave me millions of them…. Yet to others, never a second chance.
I remember our biggest argument was right after my mum died. I was gutted. In 90 days,...
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 Perfect Gift For A Graduate
UNITED STATES—Graduation season is upon us people. I will note, when it comes to college graduation that ship has sailed for many as its more prevalent during the month of May, but that is not to say that a few won’t be graduating in June. However, graduations and graduation parties are in full force for younger children, middle school...
A Tribute To All The Dads Out There
UNITED STATES—This Sunday marks Father’s Day, and I hate to say this, but it’s true: dads receive the short-end of the stick. This is not to take anything from moms because they are great, they are superwomen who can juggle more tasks than most of us can imagine without getting burned out. However, why does it seem that Father’s...
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...
The Negative Aura
UNITED STATES—This is something that has been difficult for me to fathom for a number of years, but as each day passes by my mind is open more and more to the fact that just maybe it’s not as complicated as I would like to think it is. As someone who heavily studied psychology as an undergraduate, I’ve always...
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...
Examining Those Monthly Expenses
UNITED STATES—From time to time, we have to take a moment and truly look at the budget and try to make sense of what is coming into the household and what is going out. This is something that many Americans fail to properly do. I will admit I am one of those individuals as well. We look at our...
The Freeloader Effect
UNITED STATES—Now this topic might be a bit heavy, it might annoy some people and it might open up the blinders on those people who refuse to see what is looking them straight in the eyes, but they refuse to acknowledge it. We all have people in our lives who I consider the freeloader. It’s that person who is...
A Bit Too Much Alcohol
UNITED STATES—I always found it amazing that New Year’s Eve was not the BIGGEST drinking holiday of the year. I mean it seems everyone is celebrating on that day people. However, you might be surprised that it’s not, and that sales are quite higher during the summer months around holidays like Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. Yes,...
