Hole in 2: disc golf

Two douce's in a row, that's when you sink the disc in two. 
I've never even holed in two but today I accomplished that twice, in a row. 
I'm just a pro what can I say.. obviously not just kidding.

Net flix vs cable

  So maybe your trying to figure out whether your going choose net flix instant streaming or cable tv. 
I'll point out the major reasons why both are good and some bad.
Lets start with cable
Cable-
-Bill averages $60 dollars each month on a decent plan
- easy to navigate for older folks
- news, and new tv episodes
- some do come with instant streaming
- movies on demand
Alright now for net flix
- the streaming box starts at $50 retail
- you can stream full seasons
- there are a load of movies
- one week learning curve for older folks
- no movies on demand and new episodes you have to wait a month or more to watch.
- flat rate price of only $8 a month
Alright so you may still be iffy.. maybe cable gives you sports and movie on demand for $7 a movie.  
I'd go with net flix for the pure reason its no commercials and you can fast forward through any show available.
Cable may have sports and news but your paying big money to watch commercials you can't skip through.  That's time most just don't have.  Its either 3 episodes or 5. 
The clear winner is net flix.    Some may disagree but in my honest option i wouldn't pay to watch commercials.

Americas got talent. A tv disaster?

Honestly i wasn't to pleased with any of the performers on Americas got talent.     Howard stern is the only good judge.  All the acts were terrible and to top it off they try to make it like its some amazing show with these really good acts. 
Now i know each act only has 3 mins but still..  i mean seriously in each one there were mess ups.  Every act some one was falling or messing up the song.
What happen to American idol acts? Where are those great performances?  I'm very disappointed.
If they really let America vote, well America voted for the people they felt bad for.  Its like they just thought well.. the acts that are good will get a gig but the others have no chance so lets just push them through like some special ed kid through high school.
Americas got talent is a disaster in television. Its honestly the worse talent show I've ever watched.
They should really just cancel the show and say Howard got sick lol.  That's the only chance they got.

Great jobs, great money.

It might be hard to find a job you'll actually want to work for.  With one of the top 5 things Americans stress over is money, you might find relieve working at one of these companies.
1- pa pa johns
Now working as a insider won't save you from your money problems, you can however work your way up to a manager position.   In most states a manager working at a pizza shop can expect to make $12-14 an hour.
2-  red lobster
Starting at the bottom you'll probably be cleaning tables till a position opens up in the back of the house.  Once that happens you'll want to start learning all the other positions.  Once you know how to prep, bake, dish tank, fry you then should ask for a raise.  Your manager should be happy to give you a pay raise considering your more valuable.  Your now a asset.  
3-  factory work
Now some factories Aren't so glamorous but they do pay very good money.   Just don't get stuck working on the line for years, you'll just end up killing yourself.     Your going to want to ask your superviser for any fork lift positions that are open.   He'll probably ask if you have any experience just tell him no but your good with equipment.  Also that you need to get your fork lift license.    Usually only takes a couple hours to be good at running a fork lift.
There are many more jobs that you can get that aren't all bad.  Your goal is to work your way up to a manager job.   Yeah your going to be working a lot more but don't let that discourage you.  The way to a good life is by working your way up.  Just keep working, what ever it takes.  
NEVER QUIT YOUR JOB.  Even if your manager is a straight up ass hole.  You just have to deal with it.. but.with out money you'll have more to stress about then a manager who is a dick.

Great jobs that pay good money.

Disc golf

     Ever heard about something called disc golf??  
Disc golf is a widely known, or widely unknown way to get out doors and enjoy the little time you may have off from every day chores and duties. 
The game disc golf is very simply played with just 2 or 3 disc you can pick up for $10-40 for each disc.   A beginner will want to buy two of the ten dollar disc.   The reason is because those disc are made for the new players and when you lose the disc you won't be so heart broken.
Each course consist of 9 to 18 holes.  New players will want to stick to only 9 holes because holes after 9 are for more experienced players. 
You can find disc golf courses by going online and searching disc golf ''your area''.  You should then see locations close to your home.
Ok so go out to any sporting good store and pick up two or three disc.  Make sure you get a putter, med range and distance.    Yes they all do something different.   You wouldn't want to putt with a distance driver, it'll only end up going above the basket.
A good tip to new players just starting out would be, just take your time, don't try to hard.  When trying harder then your ability you'll just end up losing your disc.    After a throw be sure to keep your eye on your disc, try not to take your eyes off where it landed.   It always helps to have others watch with you.    If you can't find your disc, it helps to go back to the start and look again. 
If you have any questions or want advice feel free to comment.

Xbox one or ps4?

So which is it??  Which one would you take if money wasn't a factor. 
The ps4 has some impressive hardware under the hood.  The games/engines today can't even use the ps4 to its full potential.
Now the xbox one has some pretty nice features.. but honestly both consoles are still lacking.
If i had to choose I'd go with PC honestly.    Now nothing against either console but a computer just has way more qualities and possibilities.
You may find your self one day asking why can't i just play free games??  Where is my world of war craft?  Mmo's!?!? What are you talking about..  what's a mmofps or 256 people first person shooter?? 
All these questions can drive you to buy a new computer.  When deciding what computer to buy, just one thing of advice.  Do not.. i repeat do not buy a apple computer.   You'll end up spending enough to buy three good computers or one amazing gaming computer.   Apples are just sexy. There like the cool kid at school.  He might be cool but he really doesn't do anything ''cool''  and further more he isn't very smart.
So lets get back on topic.  Both consoles are claiming to offer  game recording.  Something that should have been added a long time a go as standard.   Both are claiming to offer free games to play.  
Now the xbox is supposed to be more friendly to the family.  Offering mom and dad some cool things.  Like home entertainment. 
The ps4 hasn't really said much about what they are offering.   My guess is its just a upgraded ps3 that hopefully doesn't burn up after 3 months. 
So you can probably tell I'm more for the xbox by now but let me just say this..  i don't in any way base my buying choose on a brand name.   I don't jump on wagons or go with the crowd. 
At first I'll admit i thought the ps4 was making a come back, but after reading about the xbox i think there is a clear winner. 
I guess we will find out in the next couple weeks when they open the doors and let us walk out with that box of joy. 
So get ready.. call the baby sitter.  Schedule your vacation time and stock up on Munichs.
