PEACE....PRICELESS


Is there a price for peace? I guess for those who sell your kind of peace, the answer is yes. Otherwise, the price for peace are the hardships we travail. Hopefully, many of us have a peaceful remedy to our bumpy life sometimes.

How you deal with the pressures of life says a lot about you, your up-bringing, and how well you cope with certain issues. In recalling Jordan Spieth's golf game come absolutely "unglued" at The Masters, the ideas of Pressures, Price and Peace came to mind. How he dealt with the issue when it was occurring and then the aftermath was respectable.

Jordan's golf tragedy reminded me of what some people's days might look like. Swing after swing, stroke after stroke Jordan could not have anything go right. Some people have days like that - one might "wake-up on the wrong side of the bed", have a vocal disagreement with the boss, miss an appointment, wife will be home late, one of the kids was in a car accident, dinner has to be arranged for the other child and the water-heater broke.

Some may say, "Is that all Chad? Cause I have had more happen in my life." To that I say, "I am sorry for you." However, I mention all the peace-stealers to place in your mind what you know that which gives you Peace. If what grants you peace is solving the issue + a massage, or a quiet get-away, or reading, or yard work, etc... - then go to your happy place or your peaceful place. Yes you have paid the price for the peace you are now getting restored to you, but to regain a semblance of peace is as the Mastercard commercials go - Peace....Priceless.

TAKE ON...THE 81st MASTERS

I was happy for Sergio Garcia winning The Masters golf tournament this year. He was due, maybe even overdue. However, he is not in my grouping of favorite golfers I follow. I was hoping that Jordan Spieth or Rickie Fowler would show up and keep the youth drive going there at Augusta. But Rickie imploded and Jordan was inconsistent. When looking at Garcia's scorecard over the tournament compared to Spieth's, two things jump out at me. First, Sergio had a Bogey Free round the first day of the tournament. If memory serves me right, he was the only one to do that in the field this year. Second, when bogies were made, Sergio made less of them. Jordan executed another quadruple bogie score, but it was on Hole #15 this year, although he still had trouble with #12. Jordan also logged one double bogey and five regular bogies in the final round. All this mixed in with his pars and few-and-far-between birdies gave Spieth no chance to catch the leaders. Your scorecard cannot look li

BIGFOOT AND THE LIKE

Bigfoot (America), Yeti (Himalayan) or Almasty (Russian) - take your pick of tall, totally hairy, bipedal, mysterious creatures, but the lure is real. I have been fascinated for quite some time with the culture of Bigfoot, known also as Sasquatch  - from Halkomelem (Salishan), a native language of the Pacific Northwest, sæsq'ec. Because of the lack of evidence like a body, hair (for dna testing) or undeniable video proof - scientists will deny Bigfoot's existence and attribute a sighting to folklore, misidentification or a ruse. There have been many documentaries, reality programs and books produced that present the real possibility of Bigfoot's existence but end either on the negative or unclear side of the mystery. Are we dealing with a Mass Psychological Manipulation? Some people have taken advantage of the Bigfoot Lore and developed footprints and even suits to persuade the population. But what if we have both a real entity and hoaxers manipulating the people. T

NICKEL AND DIMING (State of Video Gaming Developers)

For quite some time now, the title of this post says it all when speaking about the worth of a video game today. I have noticed this to be on several of my friends minds and they have started voicing their displeasure over this issue which encouraged me to write this. Once upon a time, in this land we call home, video game developers used to create an entire story with all that you would ever need in the game-play and sell it to you for a set price. We desperately need to return to those days.  Now-a-days, developers are breaking the game into pieces of Story, side missions, extra gear, extra weapons, multiple DLCs (downloadable content) and the ability to have an online presence in the mix like a pvp mode (player vs. player). And after they break the game into these pieces they re-assemble them into "Bundles" they deem appropriate to sell to us at whatever price seems fair.  Hey developers, WHY NOT GIVE US THE WHOLE PACKAGE AND LET US DECIDE WHAT WE DON'T WANT T
