Paul Park: I say....

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 p...

Welcome to 21st Century; we may not have hover cars and robots that are going to be our maids like from The Jetsons, but we are indeed living in future. And, biggest example is not with gadgets but with our currency and payment options. In my blog "Samsung Pay" ( http://pjpark10.blogspot.com/2016/03/samsung-pay-new-mile-stone-of-mobile-pay.html ) I explained how far we have came in our payment method and where we are no longer needed of physical card or cash to make payments now because most of our shopping are done digitally either thru online or payment method where it is simply transactions of codes one one machine to another. Let's take a look at our current situation. A normal how hold would work and receive payment thru direct deposit which means, it's not your work physically putting  money in your bank account but transferring fictional money to your profile at local bank. And you would pay bill from not existing profile to spread it through other business...

Imagine if you will....... A man owns a restaurant. Restaurant always been his passion and he worked hard to open it. It started out as just another day at his restaurant. He prepped and served people. Then, a customer came in. As of the start, you could see he was not in the best mood. Customer sat and ordered few dishes. Man creates and serve dishes. Some reason, customer was not satisfied and complaints regards to the dish. Man knows it is business and it is his establishment; man does not talk back and only apologizes. Now, the customer is yelling at him. Calling him names and criticizing his skills as a cook, and questions man for his abilities. Customer leaves. Man's day has been ruined. The man closes his restaurant for the day carrying this anger inside of him. Suppressing much as he can. Man gets home. His wife opens up the door with smile saying "Welcome home, honey" But man is in no mood to be jolly. Wife has prepared the dinner, and he s...

As our technology grew, so did our payment system. Old days days, it was all gold coins, then cash came in as nations established their banking system, then we were introduced to credit card, and now, mobile payment. Mobile payment became some what of essential thing and many store started to adopt the trend and enhanced their credit card system to make mobile payment easy due to our daily usage of our smartphones. But not many followed suites. I would say about 75% of the bricks and stone stores haven't got to that, yet. But do not fear, Samsung Pay is here. Few days ago, i was out of town and when I was on my way back,  i accidentally left my wallet in my parents car. Luckily I had my passport, so getting through security check at the airport wasn't going to be a problem. But, i had no money; no cash, no card, no anything. But i had my phone. I had my Android pay set up on my phone, but my fear was that stores at airport wasn't equipped to accept mobile payment yet. ...

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...

Feeling like I'm lost in the sea. Loneliness hit Just following this water that drifts I seem like a lost man No particular place to be But water jet streams my life Hold on to something Try to stay on my feet Bottom of rum like pirates Seek the solution in the drink Cause silence only seek The reflection in me I'm bumping left and right Hoping that's the right way to home But when I dock I have amnesia Was I here when this journey started Home is made to be Home is suppose to be Sitting in the boat Hoping someone recognizes me Maybe miss me Or is my life time Just another pass by Once up on a time story? It was sweet to begin with I look for lost souls Maybe they will understand But Poseidon doesn't have mercy he made us colder So only way to be truly warmer once again is by love ones, who would hold us But my soul belong to the see Mermaids are calling to come in and play So, can never dock I set sail, again Hoping to find the way ...

Not many people say these words any more; Sir or Ma'am. I worked in customer service long enough that if became words that I use frequently. People love to here and some prefer to be just called by their name when I call them that. But these are words of manner and you can't go wrong showing some manner. But this blog isn't about manners, it's more about domino affect. Currently, I work at a convenient store and I deal with many different characters; Some rich, some poor, some young and some old. Older generation love hearing younger person call them Sir or Ma'am because it shows sign of respect. Not really in Pullman but on the Westside of Washington, lot of young people come in and greet with "What's Up, Yo, Sup", which I am not mad at but, personally, I don't really like it. It's because I am a person of class and I try to act like a gentleman much as possible. I know why they do it because I use to those kids. I use to have pants hanging un...
