The Only Reason I'm Addicted to Pokemon Go (Free Pokecoins)

Getting Free In-game Pokecoins

The only way to get pokecoins without spending real money to buy them is either taking down or fortify a gym. I have put together a step by step guide to help you do just that. 
Pokemon Gym
  • Step 1: Make sure you are level 5 or higher. (Level up by walking around and catching Pokemon)
  • Step 2: Find a gym and click on it. (Gyms are those large multi-tiered platforms with Pokemon on top randomly placed around the map) 
  • Step 3: Join team (Mystic, Valor or Instinct) Check this link out for deciding which team to play because once you choose you can't change. 
  • Step 4: Take down the gym or fortify it.
  • Fortify or Battle
    •  If your team is already fortifying the gym (Note the color of the platform before clicking on the gym. Blue is Mystic, Yellow is Instinct, and Red is Valor) and there is an extra spot for one of your Pokemon you will see a little join button on the bottom left hand side of the screen. Click this button then choose one of your Pokemon to join the gym and *poof you have now joined the gym with that Pokemon.
    • If another team is fortifying the gym the join button will not be available and you will have to battle to take down the team fortifying the gym. (The number of battles required to take it down depend on the gym XP level and the number of Pokemon fortifying it.) Click the battle button on the bottom right and choose your top 6 Pokemon for the fight, then click go. Once you have defeated all the Pokemon and knocked the gym XP down to "0" you will have the option to fortify it. Choose a Pokemon to place in that gym and *poof, you have claimed and fortified a gym for your team. 
  • Step 5: Once you are back on the map screen, click on your level counter with your avatar's face next to it and it will take you to your avatar screen with leveling statistics, medals, team information and amount of Pokecoins you have. 
  • Step 6: Click on the Pokecoin. It will take you to the shop. 
  • Step 7: Click on the shield in the top right corner if it has a number other than "0". You will get 10 Pokecoins for every gym you are fortifying and a 21 hour counter will begin. Once every 21 hours, you’ll be able to go into the Shop and “cash in”. 
  • Leveling Statistics
    • You get 10 coins and 500 Stardust for every Pokemon you have on a Gym. If you have five Pokemon on five Gyms, you’ll earn 50 coins and 2500 Stardust.
    • You can have an infinite number of Pokemon on an infinite number of Pokemon Gyms. However, the “cash in” maxes out at 10 gyms.
    • Because of this, you can earn up to 100 Pokecoins and 5000 Stardust every 21 hours!
Please be aware, that this means you will need to be aggressive and alot of your pokemon will need reviving and health boosts after battles. This will likely require lots of Potions and Revive capsules so stock up on them at as many Pokestops as you can. 
Happy Hunting from the Polar Bear.

A Meme For All You Pokemon Go Players

20,000 Emails Under the DNC (Good Wife Season 5 Spoiler, sorta)


Emails, Emails, Emails. It seems that the Democrats have a leakage problem.  Days before the Hillary Coronation Event, otherwise known as the Democratic National Convention, an email server sprung a leak, and all of a sudden, everyone is in an uproar about the Democratic Party strategizing against Bernie Sanders in the Presidential Primaries this year.  This isn't some regular "uproar" where people get their undergarments all knotted and twisted. The knotting and twisting has completely taken over the outergarments as well and is threatening bodily accessories items like neckties and iWatches.

Immediate casualties seem to be minimal. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is resigning and being booed everywhere she goes. And Hillary falls down a small hole that she is more than capable of crawling out of as long as those folks in power are still able to come through on their promise to give her a shot at being crowned President.

Bernie Sanders is handling it as well as he could. It's like he was always the kid picked last for a basketball team in gym class, and this time he was picked second because all the cool kids were rooting for him liked they rooted for Rudy Ruettiger at Notre Dame. Then, all of sudden after the emails leaked, he realized that he might have actually gotten picked first if it wasn't for the P.E. teacher and that one guy who smelled like beef stew by the end of the day.

Oddly enough, Bernie seems to be enjoying the uproar and hearing everyone's voices get higher and louder on talk shows. He's made mention of the resignation and seems to think that's a good idea, but he's laying pretty low at this point. He's playing it smart because he's the martyr in all of this, and it's elevating him from the position of a "defeated underdog" to a "legitimate contender" in the eyes of a lot of hopeless 99-percenters, which, if you count it all up, is about 9 percent of us.

My biggest concern in all of this is not the act of colluding against competitors or even the leaking/hacking of the emails. The concern is the fact that public seems legitimately surprised that this was happening. Watch the Good Wife.  It will be eye opening and begin to make a lot of sense. It will help you with that Red Pill you took.

What you should be realizing is that this year's DNC is the culmination of everything that happened during Bill Clinton's administration, and how he was able to escape from the political death trap he had created for himself. Hillary sacrificed herself by putting up with all the shenanigans, and her nomination is the reward that she gets for everything she put up with all those years. There were many meetings in smoke filled rooms with lots of books and whiskey glasses back in the 90's. Every important democrat did his part to convince Hillary that she had to stand up next to her husband, and that her solidarity with him would secure his place of power despite his penchant for beautiful interns and his ability to lie so convincingly. They had to give her something in return and this was it. It was all in a secret book passed down from DNC Chairman to DNC Chairman. HILLARY MUST WIN THE NOMINATION BECAUSE SHE DID EVERYTHING WE ASKED HER TO DO BACK IN THE 90's. And then it listed everything she did back in the 90's from giving Bill a hug to fetching coffee for his interns.

I could have told you this was going to happen after watching season 5 of the Good Wife.

A Theory About What's Really Going on in The Walking Dead


I was thinking about The Walking Dead universe the other day and season one and all the craziness Rick encountered when he woke up out of that coma in the first episode and this thought occurred to me: 
What if what's really going on is Rick actually died in that hospital in Episode 1, and now he's in a pre-hell kind of place with a bunch of other people who don't realize they died, but this place isn't hell like we know it, but its actually still earth, but its a different plane of existence, so all the zombies that they see are actually just normal selfish, dead, ugly souls of living people walking around here on earth, because that's how we look to someone who is walking around actually dead. Every time a zombie takes a head-shot, the person who's soul that represents in the real world actually becomes someone with a decent heart and a living spirit. Soooo in essence what Rick and his crew and anyone else trying to survive are actually doing is saving the whole human race from the same eternal damnation they are experiencing by helping them get to heaven.
Maybe just a stupid fan theory and possibly one that's already out there, but the thought just occurred to me today so I had to give it legs just in case in the series finale all gets revealed and I turn out to be right and Robert Kirkman gives me an award for figuring out the biggest twist in TV/Comic Book history.

Welcome 2016


     Things I'm excited about in 2016
1. Disney is releasing a Pete's Dragon movie
2. The U.S. presidential election
3. Hoverboards
4. Ultra HD broadcasts (4k)
5. The Superbowl and the 2016 Redskins
6. iPhone 7
7. The Olympics
8. Virtual Reality
9. Smart Cars
10. and Leap Day February 29th 

    People are becoming resolute today. Enrollment is up at the gym, and Phillip Morris is once again bracing for low numbers in January. I'm sure you've seen a multitude of "Year in Review" episodes, and you'll probably see many more, because you've already forgotten so much and want to see if others remember what you did. We can expect some things to happen, and yet there is also much anticipation for things we can't expect. 
     Last year gave us a boatload of record breaking cinema, bizarre entertainment news, and the beginning of an exciting presidential race. However, 2015 was also over-shadowed by horrific violence at the hands of dastardly people and organizations. As a world we were knocked down more times in one year than I can remember. I don't know if the actual statistics are up, or if I'm just noticing them more because I have a growing family to worry about.
    Despite the awesomeness, the sour notes, the useless cultural epithets and the things that made us laugh, 2015 is now history. Some things were recorded with graphic detail, others are a pixelated recollection. Events of the world and the days of our lives might become a vague memory while most things will be forgotten, yet I'm oddly hopeful.
     I hope this past year teaches our leaders and helps them grow wiser to the plans of evil doers, so we can thwart more villains and bring more peace. I hope generosity and gratitude increases, so the less fortunate become more hopeful and the more fortunate become more socially aware of injustice. I hope the weather systems balance and seasons change appropriately, so farmers can be confident in their crops and I don't have to pay so much for food. For my sake, I hope nostalgia in the arts continues, so I can continue to share my childhood with my own children. But for my children's sake, I hope that there is an increase in fresh, cool ideas and stories to build their own memories and experiences with. 
      I wish everyone out there strength to deal with the downs of the new year and humility to deal with the ups.
