Point of View

UNITED STATES—Getting old must be one of the most misunderstood, least explained, and purposefully ignored, aspect of universal human experience. Getting old sucks. I mean it. They say it beats the alternative, but what really is the sum of a human life? How do we evaluate which is better to have lived and endured, or worse enough to have foregone?...

UNITED STATES—Human beings can be emotional creatures; we sometimes react without really thinking why or how we’re reacting to a particular situation. I’m not a believer that one should bottle in their emotions; doing so can cause major stress and wear and tear on one’s body. You have to find a way to release, unleash or exhibit those emotions...

UNITED STATES—I hate the word diet, but in the world we live in one has to be aware of what he or she puts into their mouths for the sake of their body and overall health. It’s easier to say I’m going to do XYZ, but when temptation lurks around every corner, you have to have discipline. I’ve made...

UNITED STATES—Life can be tense people. Sometimes some of us are juggling SO MUCH we feel like there is no end in sight. For me, I’m starting to feel the burn. Balancing life and work is difficult, but imagine balancing multiple jobs, school and family life. Yeah, the amount of stress now reaches gargantuan heights. I’m starting to realize...

UNITED STATES—Did you know that since its formation, California’s State Lottery funded local schools to the tune of $844.9 million from innumerable unclaimed prizes alone? How that many winners could have missed out on a possibly life-changing windfall is beyond belief and beggars the question; were they really so blasé about the whole thing? The vast majority of us treat the slip...

HOLLYWOOD—I have been eagerly watching this latest installment of “Survivor: Game Changers” since its debut back in March. Yes, plenty of people have questioned rather, ALL the contestants on the series are actual game-changers, and I would indeed have to agree with that assertion. However, recent weeks fans have viewed  some amazing TV, I mean that group tribal council...

UNITED STATES—Oh, the powers that be would make one think social media is SUCH a major tool in public sphere. However, I’m hearing way too many horror stories nowadays about how dangerous social media is becoming. It’s like a classic motive in the horror film “Scream 4;” everyone wants to be famous and are willing to go to extreme...

UNITED STATES—Well, the time has come America, tax season has culminated and for those not receiving a refund, which may be more of us than expected, paying Uncle Sam is never fun, but what are you going to do? If you owe taxes, the biggest piece of advice I always give is prepare in advance. Even if you file...

UNITED STATES—Last week was a big week for the United States as President Trump ordered a military strike against a Syrian airbase after a chemical weapons attack that left dozens of people in Syria dead. More than 50 Tomahawk missiles were launched in the attack at the Al Shayrat Airfield to make it crystal clear to Syria and Syrian...

UNITED STATES—Whoa, last week was not a good week for the soda drink company Pepsi. That ad they released mid-week with reality star and model Kendall Jenner in the forefront received so MUCH backlash, the titan was forced to pull the ad from airwaves. Now I will be the first to admit, I was flabbergasted by the media uproar...
