Head Ponderer on this site...

Son, husband, father, friend, and Jesus follower.

College Athletics professional, living the dream, and working to keep it a reality.

Avid Sports fan (Yankees and Knicks), and a pro wrestling fan.

A Brooklyn Native, born and raised. But of a family heritage that includes the Caribbean, the United Kingdom, Portugal, and India.

Not much of a loud in-your-face talker, but I very much enjoy punching the keys on various topics.

A simple guy of working out, salivating for fish tacos, and all reruns of 90's TV.

I love the art of debate, enjoy new knowledge, enjoy thinking through questions, and figuring out this race called life.

You may call me a dreamer, but I think of myself as a ponderer...

...as I know nothing is impossible if done through Christ.

What is the purpose of this blog?

The purpose of this blog is simple: it's a place where yours truly can express thoughts, write creatively, and share with you various experiences as we all run this marathon of life.

Where did the name "Dome Pondering" come from?

Well, after sporting a curly 'fro for a few years, I decided to shave my head for the first time right before I started the DP. As I thought about a name, I rubbed my head - a now bald dome - and I simply went with Dome Pondering. It's been history since.

Hey, I never said it was a good story.

Why continue 'Dome Pondering'?

Blogs, really, any written format, aren't popular or widely visited anymore. The world has changed with the advent of social media and the immediacy of how we consume information, knowledge, insight, and even feel through life's issues. For better or worse (I believe it's been very much for the worse), we don't stop and allow a process on it all, much of what reading, writing, discourse, and sharing provide opportunities to do.

The flick of the fingers, double taps, and immediate shorthand response on a touch screen may rule, but this small slice of the internet will remain - filled with my words, opinions, thoughts, and everything else in between.

Just my thoughts, just my thoughts...

Would You Rather: Questions 121-130

This edition of "Would You Rather" is credited to the NBA Would You Rather NBA Account on Instagram ( See Here ). Adding to the fun, this edition (and possibly future ones) are all NBA basketball questions. 121. Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden? Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability? This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...

Quick Ponder: No Matter What

"You can give everything to something, and no matter what, it is always gonna do what it's gonna do." I feel that these days. I get it.

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 2/15/26

Sunday Sundown Rundown returns! Going forward, I'll be sharing thoughts and ponderings in a format of three simple thoughts, opposed to the former "3 Up, 3 Down" of the past. Mother of Savannah Guthrie I haven't been closely following the developments. I've checked in here and there, mostly hoping that this horrific story comes to an end. I simply continue to sympathize with concern, as not only are the emotions of having one's mother kidnapped for ransom more than enough to bear, but to have it played out publicly, before the nation, helplessly, is an unfathomable reality to understand. And of course, as all things in this culture, the story has been manipulated, pulled apart, and coerced into political representations that are not true, or at the very worst, worthy of discussion considering that someone's life - a person's mother - is at stake. Winter Olympics It's not my favorite. Summer Olympics are my jam. Nonetheless, this Winter Olympics...
