Awkward Red Carpet Chatter

UNITED STATES—It used to be fun to watch the red carpet for many of the awards shows during awards season, but man has things changed in recent years. I have a vast level of respect for those who have become titans in the entertainment field of journalism and know what questions to ask and how to ask them to...

Failure To Communicate With Family

UNITED STATES—The ability to communicate is a skill that so many people fail to grasp its importance. I really want to have a conversation about the notion of communication because it seems like Americas are communicating less and less each day. I mean the advancement of technology is a major thorn in this development. Making the situation worse is...

A Moment Of Solitude

UNITED STATES—How in the world do most Americans find a way to spend a moment of solitude if given the opportunity? Think about that question for a second before you choose to answer. I rarely get a moment to collect my thoughts and try to find a moment where you are able to sever or pull yourself away from...

The Flu Is Out Of Control

UNITED STATES—Flu season is in full force and it has been one of the worse that I have seen in years America and I am not joking about it at all. About 2 weeks ago, the flu struck me strong and fast, with a fever hitting over 105 and making me immobile for nearly 3 days. Note: I had...

Time For A Change In Jobs

UNITED STATES—Work, it’s something many of us do day in and day out. For most Americans, we have dead end jobs that we absolutely hate and dread. We hit the alarm clock, rumble in the sheets before realizing we have to get up, we have to get out of bed and we have to head to work. I mean...

Public Spats Via Social Media

UNITED STATES—We haven’t talked much about social media lately, but today I want to bring a major issue to the forefront that I’m beginning to see almost daily: public spats. Why is this of importance to me? Well, it makes people look silly, immature and plain stupid. For starters, Twitter, as great as it can be in the social...

Preparing For Fat Tuesday

UNITED STATES—It is the day that many Americans indulge in, but it’s also the one time of the year that Americans prepare to give up something in honor of Lent for the next 40 days. The way that I see it, it gives you an opportunity to have a second go around when it comes to that New Year...

The Super Bowl Commercials That Matter!

UNITED STATES—For many Americans we HATE commercials, it’s what many would call interruptions into their favorite program. However, if there is one time during the year where the commercials matter it’s the Super Bowl and Super Bowl LII sure delivered some favorites people, but there was also plenty of flops as well. Side note: my focus on this column...

Michigan State University Is Facing The Heat!

UNITED STATES—Last week we talked about fallen doctor and former Michigan State University gymnastics doctor, Larry Nassar. After nearly a week of hearing 150 plus victim impact statements, Nasser was sentenced to 40-175 years in prison. To be honest I would have sentenced the predator to 175 years minimum, but considering the judge was forced to do a minimum...

Not Working When You’re Off Is Not Easy!

UNITED STATES—For most Americans, when you’re off work, you do your best to avoid answering the phone, checking emails or doing anything that is work-related. Why? For most people, you won’t get paid, and what is the fun in that. However, for those who work from their home office, the job is that much harder if you ask me....
