Point of View

What Is A Dream Job?

UNITED STATES—How many people do you know who have actual dream jobs? Some of you might even be asking what an actual dream job is. Well, it is a job that you absolutely adore; one that provides glee, happiness and just a pure feeling of accomplishment. You get the opportunity to do something that you love, without it feeling...

What About The Workers?

UNITED STATES—The federal government shutdown has now surpassed a record at 26 days as of Wednesday, January 14. As an American, I could care less about President Donald Trump, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Lindsay Graham, Mitch McConnell, Republicans or the Democrats. Do you know who I care about? I care about all of the furloughed federal workers who did...

I Hate Technology Sometimes

UNITED STATES—Technology can be great for the most part, but at times it can be so frustrating you don’t know what to do with yourself. Some of you might be asking why this has become a conversation for the week? Well it’s easy, I had done some strenuous writing earlier in the week and I am certain, take that...

Resolution Still Going Strong

UNITED STATES—For many Americans we are in day 16 of the New Year as I write this column and many of us have committed to resolutions or things for the New Year that we would like to change. Most of us may have already broken that resolution, but I am proud to note that mine is still going strong....

Endless Thoughts

UNITED STATES—I recently had an interesting conversation with someone about rather it is fully possible to control your thoughts. I’m a firm believer of positive thoughts, but you’re not going to sit here and tell me that someone can be positive 24/7; I just don’t believe it and I know it’s not possible. It’s like comparing yourself to Ned...

Technology Stops Sleep

UNITED STATES—I said the one thing I planned to do more of in 2019 was to get more sleep. We’re only seven days into the New Year, and I’m failing miserably at that goal. Why? Technology has become a bit of a thorn in my side. No, I’m not referencing to watching TV, it’s my cellphone and iPad Mini...

Finance Preparation For 2019

UNITED STATES—Christmas is over, the New Year has ushered itself in and for many Americans it will be time to tackle a load of debt. For some it might be way larger than others. However, do not panic, take a deep breath. The biggest mistake so many people make is not trying to come up with a plan; you...

Bad Banking Practices

UNITED STATES—The bank, it used to be a place I visited at least once a week, but as of late that has vastly changed. Why? Banks I feel just do not care as much about their customers. They are doing any and everything in their power to hit customers with unsuspecting fees. Like I had a bank charge a...

Why Is Gaming So Addictive?

UNITED STATES—Back when I was a kid I was considered the gamer of gamers. I had this unique ability to strategize in my head a way to complete a videogame without having a map or guide. I just had this unique intuition to know what had to be done in order to succeed.  My recent acquisition of the SNES...

The Government Shut Down Will It End?

UNITED STATES—Well it has been close to two weeks since the federal government has gone into a partial shutdown. I note partial because the government has not completely shut down, but there are plenty of Americans who are impacted by the closure. It looks like state and national parks are feeling the brunt of the closure first, but my...
