Point of View

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...

UNITED STATES—We do indeed live in a world that is driven by technology. I mean if I was to ask someone what a landline was they probably would have trouble telling or showing me. I mean if I were to revert back to the time when I was growing up, the idea of a cell phone was something of...

UNITED STATES—I recently celebrated my birthday and while I don’t think my age matters, let’s just say I’m in my 30s. I’ve come to the assessment that as I get older, I still like to celebrate my birthday, it’s just the dynamics of celebrating my birthday has slightly changed, well; honestly they have changed quite a bit to be...

UNITED STATES—I’ve discussed this issue in the past, but I have to continue to discuss it as I think its level of importance is much bigger than people are willing to acknowledge. Purchasing groceries for the household can be expensive. I’m someone that keeps my receipts for almost everything that I purchase. I like to utilize that to put...

UNITED STATES—I thought in 2008 when Barack Obama became President of the United States was bad, I mean a Democrat was in office and in control of The White House, but it’s apparent the roles have reversed and things are more tense NOW than ever before. I mean Donald Trump is the new President and for the first time...

UNITED STATES—Being grateful is a trait that many Americans lack, but I’m starting to see this transpire more and more in the younger generation. Now, I’m not picking a fight with the millennials per say considering that I fall into that category slightly. However, why is it that you can do a ton of things for an individual, yet,...

UNITED STATES—What does it take to be an adult? For many people, they’d make the argument that when you turn 18, you are of legal age and you are an adult. Would I agree with that assertion? Not a chance. Age is just a number and just because one is 18 does not necessarily MEAN one is ready to...

WRIGHTWOOD—Word on the street is if you want to really have fun on the slopes, avoid Mountain High. However, I had visited before and besides the icy and slippery slopes at times, I wondered why people said that. After all, it is close to Los Angeles and you can often get there without chains. So what is the big...

BEVERLY HILLS—When you’re deaf people seem to push anything “deaf” on you. For years I have been nagged to watch "Switched at Birth," mostly by my friends who were either on the show or supporting it. I thought more than twice about approaching this topic since I didn’t want to be a naysayer to a breakthrough show on the telly...
