Ramblings

UNITED STATES—I know I’m not the only person who has experienced this, where you have a day or a week that you are absolutely frustrated to the core. Now, let me be crystal clear: I said frustrated, not anger. Anger and frustration are two different things. Anger is an inability to control how you feel; there is a level...

UNITED STATES—We are just a few days from the month of February, and I am already over winter. I think I’m more frustrated because in my neck of the woods, winter had been pretty tame until about a week ago. For reasons, that I cannot fathom, people were complaining over the fact that it hadn’t snowed and it wasn’t...

UNITED STATES—January 2019 is here, and even though the federal government is partially shut down that does not mean that tax season will stop in its tracks America. That was a fear so many people thought, but the government has assured Americans that if you submit a tax return it will indeed be processed for those Americans expecting a...

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...

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...

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...

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....

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...

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...

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...
