Point of View

UNITED STATES—At long last, the mystery has finally been solved involving New England Patriots star Tom Brady and his missing Super Bowl jersey. There is indeed a reason I’m bringing this issue to the table because I cannot BELIEVE the level of media coverage this story got. I mean people have talked about this issue like its game-changing for...

LOS ANGELES—This year spring was marked by my first ever visit to Tomato-Mania, reminding me that it’s time to spruce up the garden and make new choices now that the drought is in the rear view mirror. Coming from the east coast, it’s hard to acclimate to spring in early March. Every year something pulls my attention to the arrival...

UNITED STATES—I do believe that education is the horizon to the future. Am I making the argument that if you obtain the highest education possible it guarantees a job? No. However, when you educate yourself you obtain new knowledge, things that you never expected to utilized in your life become somewhat important. For starters, I learned throughout my undergraduate...

UNITED STATES—I want you to make a choice, between this or between that. What is it about Americans being forced to make a decision that leaves us wanting to tear out our hair and rattle our brains? We are always worried about what if? What would have happened if we choose this outcome versus the initial outcome we selected?...

UNITED STATES—Sleep, it is the one thing that is so important to everyone’s daily lives. Too many of us, we are running into situations where we are not achieving a specified amount of sleep each night as recommended by doctors.

UNITED STATES—This weekend I did something I hadn’t done in quite some time: I evaluated my monthly expenses and I was slightly stunned by the result. For the past 2 years, I have kept receipts for everything that I purchased. It was my way of being able to examine what was being spent and on what. I broke down...

UNITED STATES—By now, I KNOW everyone has heard the comment that was made by Dr. Ben Carson, who is the new Secretary of Housing, which was beyond despicable, stupid, egregious and careless. I mean comparing slaves to immigrants? WTF! Carson, who was once in contention to become the next President of the United States of America, has always been...

UNITED STATES—There is a topic that I really want to discuss and I think it’s something that should be of importance to all Americans: the importance of an apology. We sometimes say or do things that we don’t necessarily mean, and as a result we find ourselves in situations where an ongoing feud or distaste for a particular person...

UNITED STATES—Well, that is one hell of a way to end awards season. The Oscars, which I’ve been watching for over 2 decades had a moment unlike any moment ever in history. By now, most of you should know or heard about the big debacle that transpired on the Oscar stage courtesy of “Bonnie and Clyde” stars Faye Dunaway...

UNITED STATES—Well, it’s Fat Tuesday people, meaning it’s an opportunity to indulge in all things bad for your body as you begin to give up something or do something to make your life better for 40 days in honor of Lent. For some people, New Orleans is the party scene of the year on this festive day, for others...
