Ramblings

UNITED STATES—All of our lives, we are asked that perennial question: what do you want to do when you grow up? That dream job changes quite a bit as we age, but at some point we nail down our options to 1-2 careers. Now, you’ve graduated from college, so what do you do? If only it was that easy....

UNITED STATES—Some of you may know, some of you may not, but a day of reckoning could occur in the entertainment industry that could have ripple effects on the world of television and film as we know it.

UNITED STATES—Man, it seems like ever since the United Airlines debacle we are hearing about a new incident involving the friendly skies every single week.

UNITED STATES—Well, the time has come America, tax season has culminated and for those not receiving a refund, which may be more of us than expected, paying Uncle Sam is never fun, but what are you going to do? If you owe taxes, the biggest piece of advice I always give is prepare in advance. Even if you file...

UNITED STATES—Whoa, last week was not a good week for the soda drink company Pepsi. That ad they released mid-week with reality star and model Kendall Jenner in the forefront received so MUCH backlash, the titan was forced to pull the ad from airwaves. Now I will be the first to admit, I was flabbergasted by the media uproar...

UNITED STATES—By now, I’m certain many of you have heard or witnessed that video of that kangaroo that appeared on a comedy stage in Detroit last weekend with comic Mike Epps in the forefront.
