There is a lot of argument about the traits that are particular to Gen Y. Some call us entitled; some call us tech-savvy; some call us impatient; some call us generous; some call us liberal. Amid all these opinions about traits, there are at least two facts that are irrefutable. The first is that Gen [...]
A Call for a New Education System
Leave a comment Go to comments
The education system is broken. The way I see it, there are three potential purposes for education: To help kids find the right path for themselves. To help kids prepare for their careers. To teach kids about the world generally so that they’re prepared for whatever comes next. In my case, the system failed me [...]

Leave a comment Go to comments
You know all those stereotypes about Gen Y being lazy and entitled? Sometimes, as much as it pains me to admit it, I agree with them. A couple of months ago, I wrote an article right here on TNGG about Gen Y’s place in the corporate world. In that article, I talked about how Gen [...]
Tattoos – A Defining Mark

On November 1st, 2009, I began a 21-day holistic detox diet. I had been meaning to go on this detox ever since a good friend of mine had done it and raved about the results. I began the day after Halloween. Whenever I told anyone about the detox, I got a blank stare and a [...]
How Do You Choose The Correct Religion?
Leave a comment Go to comments
Nearly every major religion preaches that it is the one true religion. If there’s only one true religion, what happens to all the people who don’t subscribe to it? Do they rot in hell just because they chose the wrong religion? I was baptized Roman Catholic. I went to Church and Sunday School most weeks [...]
