Ramblings

UNITED STATES—When it comes to food its no easy task for many of us to limit our portions. We’re told time and time again, portion control is the key to losing weight and keeping a healthy body. So why don’t we do it? Our taste buds and drive to want more of something that tastes good is sometimes difficult...

UNITED STATES—I am someone who has a difficult time smiling in the face of co-workers who I find fake. What do I mean when I say fake? It’s a difficult term to describe at times, but it’s someone who is inauthentic. In other words, you know when a ploy is in place. I think I can read people well...

UNITED STATES—I’m starting to realize in life that you sometimes can do way too much. I’d like to think I’m a superhero who can do almost anything, but as I age it has become a realization in life that you can’t do it all even if you want to or people think you should. I’ve been known to juggle...

UNITED STATES—Can you recall the last time that you had eight hours of sleep? Do you recall the last time that you went to work and didn’t feel exhausted before you entered the door? How about feeling like no matter how hard you work, you still have a ton of work that you still haven’t gotten completed? Yeah, we’ve...

UNITED STATES—A lot of people may not understand it, but gosh, when people say mental health matters it really does America. I was beyond devastated I mean just devastated to hear the news about “Extra” correspondent Chelsie Kryst who died on Sunday, January 30 after apparently jumping from her New York City apartment. I have been an avid watcher...

UNITED STATES—I can’t believe it, the game that totally shaped me as a kid keeping me entertained for hours and days is resurfacing. Yup, if you were born in the 1980s or 1990s, you are well aware of the Super Nintendo, or as many of us call it: SNES. It was the evolution of the NES, which was relaunched...

UNITED STATES—Oh my, I am baffled beyond being baffled people. It is only the middle of July and a vast majority of retailers have already unleashed their back to school section in their stores. I always find this odd and can never make sense of things. School for most kids just ended less than 3-4 weeks ago, and parents...

UNITED STATES—If you’re rushing to your computer to do a bit of shopping on Cyber Monday or throughout this coming week, you might want to pause for a second. Why? The deals are not as great as you think they are. I have no clue why people think Cyber Monday is like this massive day of deals from retailers...

UNITED STATES—We hear a new study every 6 months noting what all Americans know, but we have yet to do anything to change it. Americans are working a lot more today, than we are sleeping. Work has become the new norm for Americans, so much to the point that we are taking less vacation time to spend with family. This...

UNITED STATES—Here we go again. Yup that is likely what many Americans said to themselves when the federal government shut down at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, January 19. It took more than 3 days for Democrats and Republicans to barter a temporary deal to fund the federal government. The fact that we elected all of these constituents into office...
