NBA players voluntarily took a 24 shot clock violation as a salute to Kobe's death.  People wore their number 24 jerseys and headed to Staple Center to gather and mourn his death as a community.  

Kobe's death reminds us to appreciate every moment of our 24 hours, for we'll never know when our shot clock is up.

You get a notification that your paycheck has been deposited. Then you notice the  pile of bills on the table while your children are reminding you of school tuition and all you can think of is that pair of boots you have been eyeing on.  Who do you pay first?

Just like how genres help us to find movies and music that we like or how the isle labels help us find items at the grocery, categories on items simply makes it easier to find what we are looking for.

In 2020 comes new laws.  Is there hope for this state of California?  One can only hope because this year we are giving away more money than ever before!  Stifling more businesses and producing more addicts!

Forget about the dead rising back to life,  dealing with the living dead is much more frustrating!  

Drug addiction and mental illness  are just political issues until it hits closer to home.   How do you deal with an addict when they become a menace to the community?  Police do not and can not help, that's for sure.  We actually have laws that prevent authorities from forcing these people to seek medical help. So what are we left with?

What is the connection between the Mayor of Manila, illegal street vendors, food stamps and the homeless population in the US? By the looks of it, Homelessness is actually an industry because despite the billions of money that has been poured into it the problem still persist and has even grown bigger.  That only means corruption.   So who is making money of homelessness?

Life is filled with circuses You will fail, you will fail often,  It will be painful.  It will be discouraging.  At times it will test you to your very core. but If you want to change the world, don't be afraid of the circuses.  - Paraphrased from Admiral William McRaven's speech

Anxiety can creep up on anybody,  I even hear of high school students actually shaking and grinding their teeth because of school pressures.   We can easily blame outside pressures and stress but it is actually us that cause our own worries.  It's the way we think or how we were trained to think.
