Cut the Cable

Im sure wise people already made this choice and walked away from the cable companies and went straight to the digital streaming service and if you have not, do it, you ain't got nothing to lose.

My biggest thing from cutting cable is local news and sports. Most of the streaming site such as first row sports, shows many links and it will work......with millions of pop ups and ads that, one point, you just want to give up. You also know that the usual streaming apps or websites doesn't carry live channels but these days are over. I have been cut from cable for roughly 4 years and when I first did it, it was hard because the live sports games. Missing NBA playoffs, Super Bowl, and World Series were among the programs I missed about cable, so I would have to either go to my friends or go to bar to catch these games. But I had Netflix, Hulu, and of course, YouTube to keep me busy.
Limiting my viewing experience, I had to do something to get my life feed and got sick of telling people that I saw the highlights....a day after.

Now, rather me going on and on about what my experience has been, here are things you can do to completely cut away from cable.

First is to know what you watch and really evaluate the need of cable. If you are just in to watch movies, Netflix and Hulu should be fine, or occasionally just download or rent the movie through itune or Google Play store, or Redbox is not a bad choice either.

Now, lets say you are just like me; miss sports, live news and occasional TV shows.

Now lets say you do not have internet at home.

Get yourself a Antenna.

Antennas are great at picking air waves to get local channels from usual 3-13 experience. You will get your local news and local team games and it works great, until the weather becomes shitty. But for $15, I think it is a great buy.

Option1) Winegard HDTV Antenna

Now, if you do have internet at home, you should have more choices.

I recently got Playstation vue. Now, my plan is about $40 a month, with yearly Playstation membership for $70. Now., you think that's alot and you would feel better just going with your cable company.

I don't know about you but I hate comcast. I hate comcast with passion and I do not ever want to deal with comcast as much as I can.

I can watch playstation vue on my tv, stream it online or watch it on my phone and it is a great live tv on your phone.

So people, it's time to cut your cable.

Special: My Memory of You(R.I.P Melissa Fagin)

It was 8th grade that I moved to Redmond from Lynnwood. I didn't no anyone but people were nice to greet a foreign kid who still had an accent and weird style. I started to hang around Anthony and one day, I met you with Chris in a weird situation. But you were still funny, you were still gorgeous and you were great person to hang around. Ever since that we all became the 107 st./ block crew. Me with Omar, Phil, Ron, Anthony, and Chris, you with Ashley, Michaela, Moss, Stacy, Rachel; we were friends that were closer than just friends. We formed a family that we promised to be there when others needed help, motivation and support. I remember in 9th grade, I went to your house with Curtis and I think Ron and I remember the look you gave me and later on Curtis told me you liked how I looked . That maybe be take 254 at 9 PM to go back up the education hill to ask you out to be my girl. We dated 1 week but I still remember how me, you, Ron and Ash all walking around Redmond near Junio

My cellphone history

Image
I had a cell phone ever since I was in 8th grade. Not because my parents were rich and just wanted to spoil their kids, they gave us the phone because they worked all the time and, what do you expect, we wanted it for emergency reasons ;), right? Just like many of you, my first phone was Nokia and we would text, call and play snakes on it. We had to buy ringtones from third party that sounded really nothing like the song. But it was cool and it was new, so I loved it and it served the purpose. Nokia 3390                          But soon after, flip phone era was in. But, nothing really cool was            cool was coming out. It was smaller the better kind of era and it had            to be a flip phone, so I got a Samsung phone that was simple but ok            work with. More games were on it, ringtones became more realistic.            One thing I liked about this phone was that it had display section            on the front cover. Just in case, mom or dad called

Top 5 Favorite Rappers of PJ

Image
I listen to everything from Rap, Rock, Jazz, Classicial, Blues, Punk, Pop, R&B, Dub Step, EDM and even Folk (No country or Heavy Metal, sorry). But, at the end of the day, my favorite have to be Hip Hop/ Rap. Why? because even though, so many so called music aficionados believe rap isn't really music, rap convey message using slang and code and it really fascinate me of how much creative a person can get. But do not get me wrong; this doesn't mean I like all rappers. If anything, I am more harsh on rappers than a R&B singers. For me, rap got to me creative and unique. Rap got to convey a message that everyone goes through and let the fans relate to the lyrics. Rap shouldn't always be about Money, Cars, Blings and Hoes; I love intelligent rap that actually have a message and meaning. So here is my top 5 rappers. 1) Jay - Z: If you know me, this shouldn't come off as a shock; this guy is my idol. Yes, he does talk about money, cars, blings and hoes; but who does
