Author: Dave

I've always been curious about the world beyond my own backyard. While many people spend their entire lives close to where they were born, I've been fortunate enough to travel across the United States and around the world. Every place I've visited has challenged my assumptions in one way or another and reminded me that, despite our differences, people often have far more in common than they realize. I don't write to tell personal stories for the sake of telling them, and I don't believe every article needs to revolve around me. Instead, I enjoy using my experiences as a starting point for exploring larger ideas. Whether it's something I noticed while walking through a market overseas, a conversation with someone from another culture, or simply observing how different communities solve similar problems, I'm interested in the lessons those moments can teach all of us. Travel has given me perspective, but it has also taught me humility. The more places I visit, the more I realize there is still to learn. Every culture has something worth appreciating, and every journey has a way of expanding how we see the world and our place within it. When I write, my goal is simple: to share thoughtful observations, compare perspectives, and encourage curiosity. I hope readers come away having learned something new—not just about another place, but about the world we all share. If one of my articles inspires someone to look at a familiar idea differently, ask a new question, or venture a little farther than they otherwise might have, then I've accomplished exactly what I set out to do.

Are the Oscars Prerecorded?

Dave

Yesterday I went to Hollywood to take some photos before the Oscars that are to start today at 4 PM Pacific time. This morning I woke up and watched Jimmy Kimmel Live at 8 AM, but his show is supposed to be live after the Oscars. How did he have recordings of people walking the red carpet and he even had outcomes of who won at 8 AM when it doesn’t take place for another 6 hours? Are the Oscars an illusion? Does it really take place earlier in the week, but Hollywood leaves the stages and everything up as an illusion? Is the Flux Capacitor real and they take people back in time by using the Delorean from Back to the Future?

Oscars 2017

Dave


This year I’m not really excited about the Academy Awards as I have been in the past. I think I have heard about all I want to hear from Hollywood and movie stars to are obviously privileged and overpaid. Especially since this was an election year and I heard numerous Hollywood elites say that because Donald Trump got elected they are going to leave the country. Well, Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States and I’m still waiting for these pampered jerk offs to leave the country. They definitely have the money. They certainly have the motivation. Get stepping! The problem is that they want their cake and they want to eat it too. They want to be in the United States when they are making millions of dollars, but as soon as things don’t go their way, they start crying and saying how they are going to leave, but they never do. Why do you think that is? It’s because they are nothing more than a bunch of hot air.

Goodbye Barrack Obama – Worst President in United States History

Dave

End_of_an_error_barrack_obama
Say “Goodbye” to the worst mistake in American history. Your socialist days of trying to turn the United States into a 3rd world country are no more. You will be seen and remembered for what you are…a utter mistake that was pushed into power by the liberal media.

Irish Ghost Story

Dave

John Bradford, Dublin University student, was on the side of the road hitch-hiking on​ ​​​a very dark night and in the midst of a big storm.The night was rolling on and no car went by. The storm was so strong he​ ​could hardly see a few feet ahead of him.​ ​Suddenly, he saw a car slowly coming towards him and stopped. John, desperate for​ ​shelter and without thinking about it, got into the car and closed the​ ​door … only to realize there was nobody behind the wheel and the engine wasn’t running.The car started​ ​moving slowly. John looked at the road ahead and saw a curve​ ​approaching. Scared, he started to pray, begging for his life. Then,​ ​just before the car hit the curve, a hand appeared out of nowhere through the window, and turned the wheel. John, paralyzed with terror, watched as the hand came through the window, but never touched or harmed him.

Shortly thereafter,​ ​​J​​ohn saw the lights of a pub appear down the road, so, gathering strength, he jumped out of the car and ran to it. Wet and out of breath, he rushed inside and started telling everybody about the horrible experience he had just had. A silence enveloped​ ​the pub when everybody realized he was crying … and wasn’t drunk.​ ​Suddenly, the door​ ​opened, and two other people walked in from the dark and stormy night.​ ​They, like John, were also soaked and out of breath. Looking around,​ ​and seeing John Bradford sobbing at the bar, one said to the other…​ ​”Look Paddy … there’s that fooking idiot wot got in the car while we were pushing​ ​it!”

Five Undeniable Facts

Dave

1. A girl is said to be grown up when she starts wearing a bra. A boy is grown up when he starts removing it.

2. We all love to spend money buying new clothes but we never realize that the best moments in life are enjoyed without clothes.

3. Having a cold drink on hot day with a few friends is nice, but having a hot friend on a cold night after a few drinks – PRICELESS.

4. Breaking News: Condoms don’t guarantee safe sex anymore. A friend of mine was wearing one when he was shot dead by the woman’s husband.

5. Arguing over a girl’s bust size is like choosing between Molson, Heineken, Coors & Budweiser. Men may state their preferences, but will grab whatever is available.

I haven’t verified this on Snopes, but it sounds legal.

A recent study found that women who carry a little extra weight live longer than the men who mention it.

Israel is one of the only countries where the sun sets into the Mediterranean Sea.

Kosher McDonald’s.

Atheists who believe in God.

Remarkable Diversity.

Wedding photos like this:

    Bob and the Blonde

    Dave

    Bob, a handsome dude, walked into a sports bar around 9:58 pm. He sat down next to a blonde at the bar and stared up at the TV. The 10 pm news was coming on. The news crew was covering the story of a man on the ledge of a large building preparing to jump. The blonde looked at Bob and said, “Do you think he’ll jump?”

    Bob said, “You know, I bet he’ll jump.”

    The blonde replied, “Well, I bet he won’t.”

    Bob placed a $20 bill on the bar and said, “You’re on!”

    Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar, the guy on the ledge did a swan dive off the building, falling to his death. The blonde was very upset, but willingly handed her $20 to Bob, saying, “Fair’s fair. Here’s your money.”

    Bob replied, “I can’t take your money. I saw this earlier on the 5 pm news, and so I knew he would jump.”

    The blonde replied, “I did too, but didn’t think he’d do it again.”

    Bob took the money…

    Brief California History Lesson

    Dave


    Do you know what happened 166 years ago this summer…September 9th, 1850?

    California became a state! The people had no electricity, the state had no money and almost everyone spoke Spanish. There were gunfights in the streets.

    So basically nothing has changed except back then the women had real tits and the men didn’t hold hands.

    And that, my friends, is your history lesson for today.
