The world is different now due to President Trump. I miss the certainty and comfort of the way things were previously. Now I wake up and am anxious to see what the news will say. At the moment the US is upsetting its allies and as for the enemies, I’m sure we’ll soon be at…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 2.2.2017

America and Religion
So what exactly is a Christian? Do all “Christians” believe other sects, denominations etc are equally as “Christian as them? The answer to that is probably a resounding no, or a very weak yes.
Nationalism, Tribalism, Political Affiliation and Favorite Sports Teams
Getting back to being part of a group, it is curious that we now wear our political affiliations on our sleeve just like we do our sports teams. I’m also surprised that we do not yet have team like uniforms to show which political party we support!

I’ve been a “gamer” or video-gamer as they say since I was 6. The video game industry…… Continue reading I’m Back Again!!!
Unhealthy Expectations about Beauty in the USA.
Just a few thoughts I’ve had while going through my Sunday morning routine. 1. I was at Starbucks and noticed two girls in heavy makeup and those big sunglasses that cover half of the face.

More Culture Shock
My culture shock has mostly abated and I’ve become accustomed to this different country called California. However, there are a couple of remnants left from the shock.
