What Good Is A Warranty?
UNITED STATES—I know many of you have encountered this issue in the past or you will encounter it in the near future. Warranties, what good do they actually serve us. Do you really need that warranty on that big screen TV you purchased, how about that laptop, what about that washer, that refrigerator, that stove? Yes, we are inundated...
The Laptop Saga!
UNITED STATES—In a matter of 5 years, I have purchased 2 laptops, and I am now on the verge of having to purchase my third. Let me be clear, this guy is not a happy camper. The first laptop I purchased lasted quite some time, a little over 4 years and only broke as a result of me hitting...
Jury Duty Mayhem
UNITED STATES—I’m frustrated America, and if you’ve been in my shoes you might be frustrated also. How many of you have ever been summoned for jury duty? Of course, most Americans have, in most situations probably only ONCE or TWICE in their entire lifetime. Hmm, now what if I told you I have been summoned for jury duty probably...
Bonding In The Midst Of A Crisis
UNITED STATES—Family is the most important thing in the world to me, but it seems the older that I get the more that we drift apart. We are only reminded of how important the bond of family is when a crisis strikes. I have not yet shared this tale, but it’s of importance to me to shed a bit...
James Comey Talks, We All Listen
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...
The Perfect Gift For A Graduate
UNITED STATES—Graduation season is upon us people. I will note, when it comes to college graduation that ship has sailed for many as its more prevalent during the month of May, but that is not to say that a few won’t be graduating in June. However, graduations and graduation parties are in full force for younger children, middle school...
A Tribute To All The Dads Out There
UNITED STATES—This Sunday marks Father’s Day, and I hate to say this, but it’s true: dads receive the short-end of the stick. This is not to take anything from moms because they are great, they are superwomen who can juggle more tasks than most of us can imagine without getting burned out. However, why does it seem that Father’s...
The Bill Maher Debacle
UNITED STATES—Last week, Kathy Griffin was the comic who was the talk of town, but this week things have shifted to comic Bill Maher. Now, Maher has done something that has plenty of people talking, yet, the backlash for his actions seems quite tame considering what Griffin did in my personal opinion. Making threats to the President of the...
The Negative Aura
UNITED STATES—This is something that has been difficult for me to fathom for a number of years, but as each day passes by my mind is open more and more to the fact that just maybe it’s not as complicated as I would like to think it is. As someone who heavily studied psychology as an undergraduate, I’ve always...
Comedy Gone Too Far!
UNITED STATES—It is no secret to the world that comedienne Kathy Griffin has rubbed quite a few people, let me rephrase that, a lot of people the wrong way. For those who have been sleeping under a rock, Griffin has received plenty and I mean plenty of backlash for that photo shoot of her holding what looked like a...
