Pandas Don’t Want Hugs and Tigers Don’t Need Catnip

I was watching When Animals Attack the other day and it really baffled me how people would want to treat wild animals like pets. News flash–we call them wild animals for a reason! They dont want to be petted, fed, and cuddled. Seriously, it’s just a matter of time before they revert back to their natural behavior and maul someone. On…

The Hub–People Watching At Its Finest

Ever since before I can remember I was an avid traveler. It comes with the territory of being an army brat. One of my favorite past times is people watching and one of the best places to do so is the airport. Essentially the airport is a fascinating place. Just think about it for a second. Where else can you…

All In Or Naw: The Gambler

Are you all in? I recently watched The Gambler with Mark Wahlberg and watching his character ride the self-destruction train was fascinating. Wahlberg plays the role of a novelist turned university professor who grew up with money but somewhere after the loss of his grandfather begins to lose himself. His weapon of choice, gambling. For him, this time consuming hobby was…

Fat Free Parks

One of the things I noticed in South Korea was that located in the parks was access to several free exercise equipment. Just about every park has the equipment and there are several parks located within a square mile, even in the cities. There are also several hiking paths, walking trails and mountains to climb. Amidst the hustle and bustle…

Live Long and Prosper My Trekkies!

When I was 16, I went to visit my grandma in South Korea. During the day while she was at work, I would flip through the channels and find something to watch. One of the few television shows that was in English was Star Trek Voyager. Before this I had always thought of myself as being way too cool to…

McFarland, USA: Dashing Underdogs

So on my 12 hour flight to South Korea I watched a great sports movie called McFarland, USA. It’s about a outrageous football coach who after losing his job gets hired at a high school in the hood in California. Him and his family, who were Caucasian, became the minorities in a community that was made up of Mexican-Americans. He…

What Kind Of Sports Fan Are You?

What is a fan? A fan is literally, “is a person who is enthusiastically devoted to something or somebody, such as a band, a sports team, a book or entertainer.” That being said not everyone is the same kind of “fan”. There are basically four different types of fans out there. –Seasonal Fans are only found during the season and only…

Books Ahoy!

With all the new technology out there we are losing an art form in our society. Writing is becoming lost in the folds. Books are becoming outdated and reading is called cumbersome. People want the gratification of knowing a story without the understanding and patience it takes to devour a good book. The youth is growing up with the preference…

Only Girl in the World

  You know I think Rihanna was right on one thing. Well a few things but most importantly, in the song “Only Girl (In The World)”, the message is that women want to feel like they are the only one in her man’s life. Easy, right? Wrong. So often women are dissatisfied with their relationships and most of the time…

Army Brat Life: The Curse That Never Ended!

Are you a military brat (one of your parents is in the military and you move around a lot)? Well if you are then you are well aware of the “curse” on us. Am I talking about some strange voodoo that some witch has put on you, probably not. I am talking about the love curse. As it would seem…
