Ramblings

UNITED STATES—When the notion of streaming first started to gain steam, I want to say perhaps six or seven years ago, I thought it might be a fluke, but that is NOT the case. Streaming is the new norm, if you’re not streaming than what the hell are you doing? The problem is that every streaming service is completely...

UNITED STATES—I know I am not the only person who suffers from it, I’m referring to impulse purchases. I feel sometimes we have this engrained notion that if we go shopping or we visit an establishment where we can purchase goods we find this exact desire to purchase something. It feels almost foreign to visit an establishment and not...

UNITED STATES—I think the world of debate is something we need more in this country. Too many people interchange the terms debate and arguing. They are NOT the same thing. A debate involves a discussion about an issue with individuals who have different stances. An argument tends to involve yelling and nothing gets accomplished that way. There is too much...

UNITED STATES—I truly cannot believe we are having this discussion. The House of Representatives passed legislation trying to put a ban on TikTok. I mean is this where we truly are as a society. I am not going to argue that social media doesn’t have its cons. It absolutely does because for so many tweens and teenagers it dictates...

UNITED STATES—I recently had an upgrade opportunity for my mobile service, not in particular my phone, but my iPad. I have had my iPad mini for close to a decade. It still works perfectly and I had no intention of getting rid of it because it works perfectly. The only issue was that a lot of apps that I...

UNITED STATES—Tell me the last time you watched a Super Bowl ad that truly grabbed your attention; an ad that hooked you and forced you to inquire or actually purchase a product? I’m waiting. I’ll likely still be waiting because rarely do ads have an impact on Americans, even though there is this perception that a witty or clever...

UNITED STATES—Three little words, there are three words that are supposed to have a ton of meaning behind them, that some people say, but a lot of people don’t say at all. Any guesses as to what I am referring to? If you still haven’t figured it out, it is the words, “I Love You.” With Valentine’s Day this...

UNITED STATES—I caught a clip of a viral meme going around after a statement Jay-Z noted in regards to the Recording Academy failing to honor his wife Beyonce with the grand prize of Album of the Year. There were audible gasps in the audience. However, I was impressed someone was calling out the Recording Academy when it comes to...

UNITED STATES—It is one of the most watched events that happens every single year, I’m referring to the Super Bowl. There is something about football that brings people together and everyone wants to tune in to watch. For 2024, the big game is happening in the city of sin, Las Vegas, and you better believe there will be plenty...

UNITED STATES—Do you have that family member that tends to hover around you whenever you spend money? If not, I’m going to share a story, because I do. There is nothing more annoying than a person who is quick to spend your money, yet they have absolutely nothing of their own. I don’t like people hovering over me whenever...
