Ramblings

UNITED STATES—It was perhaps the most anticipated moment in TV history that I can recall in my time on earth. Former FBI Director James Comey testified on Capitol Hill, in front of tons of the Senate Intelligence Committee, not to mention all of America. So many people including myself were glued to the TV screen. I wanted to know...

UNITED STATES—It has been an issue that I have wanted to talk about for an extremely long time, however, I really wanted to collect my thoughts and really focus on the issue at hand with a blunt reality, truth and some insight that forces us to do some serious soul searching. With the recent National Anthem protests taking place...

UNITED STATES—The United States of America is reeling from an epidemic that is taking place right now. I mean I feel like it was yesterday when I heard about the Columbine shooting in 1999 that claimed the lives of more than a dozen kids. Since then we’ve had mass shootings take place at Virginia Tech University, Sandy Hook, Santa...

UNITED STATES—Oh, jeez, I can’t tell you how happy I am to see the price of gas slowly, but surely falling to unbelievable rates. I mean it was only 5 to 6 years ago, where the epidemic of high gas prices had every working American strapped. For anyone, not in the know, go back to 2008, it was right in...

UNITED STATES—Last week the craziness surrounding Sony Pictures Entertainment and their movie “The Interview” starring Seth Rogen and James Franco hit the fan. Amidst threats from online hackers who labeled themselves ‘Guardians of Peace,” Sony decided to remove “The Interview” from its Christmas release. Yep, a movie studio caved into the demands of what some are calling a terrorist...

UNITED STATES—Have you ever heard the phrase, “It has to be perfect?” Of course you have, I think we all have. The idea of perfection is something that we must all aim for, but are we creating an expectation that is impossible to achieve? Its something that many of us hear from our parents, our teachers, our bosses, our family,...

UNITED STATES—Oh, President Donald Trump, why, oh why can you just focus on trying to “Make America Great Again” as you claim, instead of causing further friction and divide in the country. I mean who would have ever expected a tweet between Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry would create so much uproar. It has been a tradition for...

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—The biggest shopping day of the year is fast-approaching us. For those not in the know, I’m referring to Black Friday or what has somewhat shifted to Black Thursday. For years, this is the day where those retailers who have struggled all year to turn those numbers that are in the red to black. Retailers can make so...

UNITED STATES—Social media, it has its benefits, but at the same time it has massive drawbacks. I still think back to nearly a decade ago, where social media was just beginning to become prevalent, but was not as prevalent as it has become today. Why? It is everywhere and no matter what you do it can easily make internet...
