Point of View

Rainy Days

UNITED STATES—What is it about rainy days that so many people take offense to? I mean its just a little water at the end of the day right? Its like we live in this world, where everyone becomes super duper depressed when it rains. Please get out of that stupid funk and realize it’s not the end of the...

The Self Defense Motive

UNITED STATES—No crime is considered more heinous than that of murder. It is a crime so despicable, so haunting, to describe the impact or aftermath is impossible to do. To take another person’s life without just cause deserves a punishment that fits the crime: life behind bars. But what do you do in the situation of murder through self-defense? Yes,...

Pay To Play In Politics

UNITED STATES—Politics is one of the dirtiest jobs of all time in my opinion. It’s not as clear cut and straightforward as so many people would like to believe it is. When a person tells me they’re running in the political arena, the first thing that pops into my mind is exactly what are you after. It’s hard for...

Did You Vote?

UNITED STATES—This week marked primary elections for many communities and states across the county. Perhaps the most important question for most Americans who can vote is rather or not they headed to the polls. Unfortunately, the answer is no.

The Essentials Of Sleep

UNITED STATES—Sleep is something that we all need to re-energize for the next day. Unfortunately, in the day and age that we live in, sleep is not a necessity for the everyday American.

Who Asked For Your Opinion?

UNITED STATES—Hey, I’m seeing a new trend in media outlets nowadays, they want to see there readers comment more about issues, but why? Does the opinion of a john doe really impact how someone perceives a story?  No, I don’t believe so. I think its more of a matter to examine just how collectively people in America ‘think’ or...

Time Management

UNITED STATES—Have you ever asked yourself the question, “Why isn’t the day a little bit longer?” Twenty-four hours just doesn’t seem like enough time in the day to get done all the things that we want to get accomplished. What I’ve learned throughout my years as an adult is there are times where you wish you had more time...

Back To School Already?

UNITED STATES—It seems as soon as school gets out, its back in session. While summer 2014 seems to fly past many of us, the retailers are already pulling out all the stops to make it apparent that the school season is right around the corner. You wanna know the scary part, its TRUE!  I was recently at a big...

Vacation Blues

UNITED STATES—A vacation is something that anyone who works is entitled to. If a company is not willing to allow a staff member or an employee to take a vacation shame on them, because it only hurts the company in the long run. A well-rested and relaxed worker is a more productive employee to begin with. After hearing that...
