On January 8, CNN released a news article entitled, “The evolving US justification for killing Iran’s top general,” (Wolf and Stracqualursi). Midway through the article, the authors write, “Killing a terrorist as a security matter is one thing. Killing another country’s general as part of a policy...
In my opinion, there are not many successful movie adaptations based on books – especially murder mysteries. Sure, there are a few caveats here and there in cinematic history, but very rarely do movies capture the heart of what men and women transcribe into words from the depths of their soul....
Last week I mentioned that I went and saw the conclusion of the Star Wars saga, “Star Wars Episode IX – Rise of Skywalker.” I saw this movie on Saturday the 21st, early in the morning, though I was supposed to see it with my brother and a close friend the night before. It wasn’t meant to be,...
It’s another December, and that means another Star Wars movie review! I’ve said before that I’m a big fan of the Star Wars franchise, and that I very much enjoy watching those movies and finding deeper meanings through thematic elements. Star Wars is jam-packed with a lot of morality and...
Well, here we are again – two days before December 19. Two days before my birthday. I can’t really believe another year has come and gone so quickly – I barely feel 24, much less willing to give way to another year; a big year, a quarter of a century. Jeez Louise. Congratulations to me, I’ve...

If you were like me when it came time to learn a sense of direction, you probably heard the old adage of, “The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.” Well, at the dawning of each new day I’m met with this jade piece of wisdom, as I make my way into work on my morning commute. I’m already on...
I rented a Redbox film this week called “Sweet Country.” A 2017 Australian film, this movie centers around three individual characters living in the 1920s, out in the middle of Australia’s outback. Sam Kelly is an Aboriginal farmhand working for Fred Smith, a preacher with the heart to bring the...
It feels like the year has flown by in a blur; calendar dates whizzing by as if the finish line to 2020 is material. I can hardly believe that it is the third week in November already, and that winter has already befallen us despite what little snow we have received. It was just Monday that the...
I remember the first multiple-page report I wrote in school. The report was to be a biography of a living person, and needed to be handwritten, with a cover page, pictures, and reference index. Being home-schooled, my mother expected a certain level of research, and I was required to have four...
