Ramblings

UNITED STATES—Black Friday, which I have renamed Black Thursday (let’s be honest, the sales have started on Thursdays for several years now), it’s a day unlike any other in the retail arena. There are people who are novices to the big day, and man if you’ve never been out on this day where bargains are aplenty, proceed with caution....

UNITED STATES—It is hard to believe, the year 2018 is slowly coming to an end and it has gotten me thinking so much about the decisions I’ve made in life and where I want to be a year from now. First, I’ve come to the realization that I’m spending a bit more money than what I should be doing. I...

UNITED STATES—I seriously have no clue where time has gone, but this week has been a whirlwind to say the least. The biggest lesson that I have learned is that I simply cannot wait till the last minute to do things. I mean I’m already juggling two jobs, and just a bunch of utter family chaos. In the midst...

UNITED STATES—This is the day that matters to those diehards of the holiday shopping season. What am I referring to? I’m talking about Black Friday America! This is a day when the malls and most retailers are packed out the door with consumers trying to get their hands on the absolute best deal possible. Look, I’m speaking from personal...

UNITED STATES—This week I found myself in a bit of a predicament. I had to swallow my pride and apologize for being a complete a**. I’ve been told I can have a bit of a temper, but I like to believe I am able to control my temper for the most part. Only a few things annoy me: people...

UNITED STATES—I tell this to people all the time; I love the fall season because it kicks off so many holidays and opportunities for gatherings and to spend time with family I just absolutely love it. This week we saw Halloween come and go. As much as Halloween used to be a holiday for kids, it’s more for adults...

UNITED STATES—I’ve seen some things transpire lately in the news that have not left me happy to say the least. Some of you might be guessing as to what I’m referring to, it’s those outbursts and tirades caught on tape where certain politicians are being heckled in public places. In some situations, these individuals have been forced out of...

UNITED STATES—I did something this past week that gave me absolute glee, so much to the point that I’m starting to realize that this is something I need to do more often.  I muted my cellphone, to be honest I had no idea I had the ability to do such a thing on my device. Look, I am someone...

UNITED STATES—I have gotten to a point in my life where I hate technology. As much as it simplifies my life, it complicates things at the exact same time. You wouldn’t believe this if I told you, but here it goes: I have purchased two laptops within the last 5 years. Making the situation worse is that I’m going...

UNITED STATES—This is something that annoys me greatly. Why is it so hard to find decent customer service nowadays? It seems to be the one skill that is lackluster for so many companies nowadays and the first thing that pops into their mind is just to take the customer’s money no matter what. I felt this week I got...
