I know that this article comes very late (about two months), but between having a hectic schedule, dealing with other businesses, and taking the time to think more about this issue, here I am. With that said, I am taking my time slowly and writing as my thoughts process, but it’s important that even though it is very late, this conversation should continue because it is problematic. It is a mess. Now that the NFL Super Bowl LVIII (Super Bowl 58) is over, the teams that played in it were the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers. Kansas City Chiefs was seed three, and San Francisco 49ers was seed 1. This Super Bowl LVIII between the Chiefs and 49ers was perceived to be a rematch because both of them made it to the Super Bowl (Super Bowl LIV) back in 2020, facing each other, and this Super Bowl (Super Bowl LVIII), they faced each other again. In the Super Bowl LIV in 2020, the Kansas City Chiefs won with a score of 31-20 against the San Francisco 49ers, and now this year, Super Bowl LVIII Kansas City Chiefs won again against the San Francisco 49ers with a score of 25-22. This was the Kansas City Chiefs’ back-to-back Super Bowl wins since New England Patriots with Tom Brady. This was…

A few businesses out there let us discover the family members we might need to be aware of; two of the most popular companies are Ancestry (also AncestryDNA) and 23andMe. They focus on finding our roots in our DNA, where our ancestry originated, what ethnicities we have, and getting help with our family tree. They would suggest or hint that someone might be my relative, so they added them to my family tree to let me know how they relate to me. Both of them have a tool that helps us find out where our ancestry root is and what we are in term of ethnicity. That tool I am talking about is that they would ship us a tube for us to take a spit in and then ship them back to them for them to do research in our DNAs to pinpoint what we are. Also, do we have family members we might not know? I went for both. I used 23andMe to find what I am, and then they will try to match my DNA with other family members I might not know. They would send a long list of different person names and compare my DNA with theirs, such as the percentage of the chance that we are related. I used Ancestry (they are also AncestryDNA)…
A few people told me I should write about my diet journey, where I have lost over sixty pounds, and how I did it, especially since I am a wheelchair user. It was a good idea to write an article about my diet journey in case some people wonder how I do it so that they learn from it and apply it to their diet. Before I start writing my diet journey here, I would like to make a disclaimer that I am NOT a doctor, a nutritionist, a dietitian, or an expert regarding diet. If you are seeking help with your diet, I recommend chatting with your doctor or getting yourself a dietitian or nutritionist. Also, what I did and how I did for my diet does not mean it would work for everyone else, as we are different. That is where the trials and errors come in until we know what works and what does not. But here is my diet journey, which was not easy! The Journey This wasn’t my first diet journey. I went on a diet a few years ago, which was in 2013, and at that time, before I went on a diet, I weighed around 160, then started losing to 94. At that time, my goal was 80, and I didn’t accomplish it…
As some of you know, what happened on Wednesday, October 25th? For the past few days, after discovering what happened on that tragic day, I have been thinking over and over about what to say or how to express myself. But I have been unable to; I could not find the words because I have been left speechless or signless. Should I say something or express something about what had happened? Because if I did, it wouldn’t reverse what happened that day. What happened on that day was pure evil and hit too close to home. We are used to seeing something like that happen often everywhere. What happened on October 25th is common here in the United States, but October 25th was different. What I mean by common is that we are seeing a lot of mass shootings happening all over the United States, and that a lot of lives were taken away from them. But it was different on October 25th, 2023, because on that day, there was a mass shooting in Maine, and we thought to ourselves that it was another mass shooting that we were so used to hearing or seeing until we realized it wasn’t. On that day, there was a mass shooting in the state of Maine in Lewiston where a man named Robert…
I know it is about time that I finally decided to write a new snippets article after a very long time, and I apologize. This year has been hectic for me, including a thing that is a very good thing that happened in my life before that I had a bit of time for articles writing or writing some reviews. Still, since that happened, I shifted all the time I have and more on that good thing that happened this year for me because it is the most important thing for me over writing articles, writing reviews, or anything that has to do with the internet such as social media or whatnot. I am sure I will share what I am talking about in one of the topics below. Still, I think it is because I have not written a snippets article in a very long time, it might be a bit long and has several topics, but at least there is plenty of reading for you to do! As always, here are the topics included in this snippet’s article. To see the list of the topics, you can do so by clicking the “expand topics list” below to open up the list of topics included in this snippets article. This also will be helpful for anyone who does not…
I know I have not written a snippets article for a while as the last snippets I wrote was in October 2021, so it was several months ago. Although a few reviews have been written recently, a couple of articles are more of personal letters and guest articles. There hasn’t been one published for several months for a snippets article, which I think is overdue, so here I am writing a new one! 6-17-2022 Snippets Here is the list of the topics written in this 6-17-2022 snippets article. If you prefer to just read a few of them instead of the entire snippets article, you can do that by clicking any of the topics in the list, which will take you straight to that topic you are interested in. To see the topics list for this snippets article, you can click “Show Topics List” below, and it will open/expand the list of the topics written in this snippets article. I hope you find at least a few topics that may interest you! It would be awesome if you read the entirety of this snippets article; if you could not finish it, you can never forget which topic you stopped at and come back later to read the rest of it! How have I been, and what have I been up…
I want to congratulate Troy Kotsur for winning the Oscar for Best Supporting actor and congratulate everyone involved in a movie named CODA for winning the Oscars for best picture and best adapted screenplay on March 27th! That wasn’t all; Troy Kotsur and CODA have won several awards before winning any awards from the Oscars. They won several SAG awards, such as outstanding performance by an actor in a supporting role in a motion picture (for Troy Kotsur), the best theatrical motion picture. They also won some BAFTA (Almost like Oscars but in British) and many more awards. Troy Kotsur became the second Deaf person to own an Oscar, he is the first Deaf male to win an oscar but the second to win the oscar, and the first Deaf person to win the oscar was none other than Marlee Matlin (along with the first Deaf female to win the Oscar). Marlee Matlin won the Oscar for her movie Children of a Lesser God back in 1987, so the gap for another Deaf actor or actress to win another one is enormous as it has been 35 years, so it was a way overdue, in my opinion. Both of them deserve the Oscars; I am a fan of both even though Marlee Matlin has me blocked on Twitter for some…
