Ramblings

UNITED STATES—What does it take to be an adult? For many people, they’d make the argument that when you turn 18, you are of legal age and you are an adult. Would I agree with that assertion? Not a chance. Age is just a number and just because one is 18 does not necessarily MEAN one is ready to...

UNITED STATES—Its February, and for most Americans they are in the midst of receiving those credit card statements in the mail showcasing what charges were made over the big Christmas holiday. In addition, most Americans are in the midst of receiving their w-2 and 1099s from their employers as they begin to make preparations for tax season. Yes, tax season...

UNITED STATES—The Super Bowl has not always been an event that was a must-see for me. I have my reasons, particularly the fact that it’s almost a given who will win the game by the end of the first quarter in most cases. However, Super Bowl LI proved to be a ton of fun for those who watched. While...

UNITED STATES—Being ill or sick as most of us like to call it is no fun feeling. For many Americans, when we get sick it usually lasts for a day or so, however, I think any cold, sore throat, stomach ache or just overall feeling of dread takes more than a day to recover from. I bring this situation to...

UNITED STATES—It’s a New Year, and the opportunities to reach for the stars are unlimited if one is willing to not dismiss their potential. One thing that has been on my mind for the past few months is not faltering on accomplishing things that I want to accomplish. This holiday season, there was plenty and I mean plenty of family...

UNITED STATES—How often do you go to the doctor? No, that is a serious question that I am proposing. Some of us would like to think going to the doctor every blue moon or only when we get sick is a good idea, but I honestly beg to differ. When you have a family history of a certain disease,...

UNITED STATES—Patience, it is something that not many Americans have and I must admit, I’m part of that list unfortunately. Recently, my travels took me to an amusement park that I am super fond of: Cedar Point. However, on this particular day, I had no idea that the park would be so crowded that the park was not prepared...

UNITED STATES—Football is the quintessential American sport. I mean, I don’t know an American who isn’t a fan of the sport. After watching my nephews little league football game this weekend, I was baffled at something that had crossed my mind before, but didn’t really strike me until this past weekend. Football is a dangerous sport! The physical combat element...

UNITED STATES—Anyone who has sought to obtain a higher education is well aware that the cost of a college education, a master’s degree, a law degree, a dental degree, etc. is a lot pricier than we could have ever imagined. I completed my Bachelors of Arts in English, Film Studies and Psychology nearly eight years ago. Some of you might...

UNITED STATES—I’ve sometimes asked myself the question of rather there should be more censorship on television than what we are currently seeing nowadays. I remember back when you couldn’t so much as indicate a curse word, but nowadays you can get away with certain terminology on network TV. Cable you can push the boundaries even farther, but it begs...
