This would have been 11-19-2016 tidbits as I was planning on to write the tidbits earlier, but the midnight have passed so that means it is no longer the 19th and it is now 20th of November. That means I am writing this article at very late of the night which is a bit unusual as I usually start writing a blog at around nine o’clock but lately I have lost the track of time, I usually make sure that I follow my daily routine such as taking a bath at midnight (twelve o’clock), be in bed after taking a bath about at 12:30-12:45AM then wake up at four o’clock in the morning and yes that means I only sleep for about three hours every night. After waking up at four o’clock I would tune in on the television, especially Netflix or Hulu to watch a few episodes of few television shows from about 4:30AM after waking up until about 7 o’clock AM I would get on the computer to surf around for a bit for about a couple of hours and then start working on the internet at about 9 o’clock to ten o’clock in the morning because I do freelance in several things such as web development, internet marketing, search engines optimization and among others for a few hours until about five o’clock in the evening I would take a couple of hours rest to watch Netflix or Hulu on my smart TV in my bedroom. After finished taking a rest from about five o’clock until seven o’clock in the late evening, that is when I would usually do some checking for news and some research for about a couple of hours until about nine o’clock which that is when I would usually start writing an article for my blog here or as a guest blog for some bloggers that looking for a hire for some good contents for their blog so that is where I usually comes in as a guest blogger. Then by about 11:30-11:45PM I would get myself ready for a bath, before I do I would watch a movie for maybe about twenty to thirty minutes before taking a bath and then call it a night so repeats.
Now lately my routine has been screwed so bad to the point that I have no clue what to do for what time, I usually wake up at 4 o’clock but now I wake up at 6 o’clock and that basically push the difference of two to three hours than my usual routine. So due to that I found myself writing this blog at 1 o’clock at very late of the night and at that time I would usually have just gotten out of the bathtub then getting on the bed.
11-20-2016 Tidbits
Nonetheless, I may be very late but not being able to write a blog for more than a week isn’t my thing unless I am seriously ill or a family member being ill as I am a family man although I am not a father at the moment which I am hoping that I will become a father sometimes soon in the future but for now I am not a father. I know I am in my prime at age of twenty-nine, I am about to turn the big thirty years old in four months on March and I am not looking forward to that. Why am I not a father? Because I am single at the moment, unfortunately the area that I lives in are rural and there aren’t plenty of women to pick so if I am to have a such luck in meeting a single woman then I would have to drive about a couple or three hours away from here because almost every women in this area are either married or taken or isn’t just my type although I don’t have high standard but I will not have too low standard either.
Anyway, I better start the tidbits as a few of topics that I would like to share my opinions and thoughts on with some of you. Of course not every one of us going to have the same opinions or thoughts but the matter is that you understood that this is the only mine and my opinions or thoughts. Hope you like some of these topics I am talking about!
Pictures With Quotes
You know these pictures that have some quotes on them and some decorated background in them that you have seen all over on social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and possibly Snapchat? Annoying aren’t they? It is to me. I can never understand why the people who’s on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram would uploads an image with some quotes on them instead of taking the pictures of themselves or taking the pictures by them which is what Instagram was really intended for in the first place or some other social media. I don’t want to be looking at some pictures that they have uploaded with a quotes and decorated background on them. Not that I am against the people sharing some quotes, I also like some quotes but if I am to share a quote or two I will either type the quote themselves or copy and the paste the quotes from somewhere on social media in text only. Like the saying goes, a picture have a thousand words or something like that so there is no need to upload some picture that have a quote on them already with a decorated background in them because these pictures defy the meaning of the thousand words in the picture alone. Heck I am sickened with the duck face pictures but I will take them over the pictures with some quotes on them and a decoration in the background any day. So please start taking some pictures of yourself, showing off yourself, take picture of the family, friends, the mother nature and such because that would make me happier.
I Believe in God and Jesus Christ
Surprised? If you aren’t then I am glad that you aren’t because that would means that you haven’t been living under the rock for more than a decade. I was born in the Baptist family who goes to the Baptist church every Sunday and sometime on Wednesday for the church school for children. When I was born, I didn’t really become Christian right away although at that time I still do believe in God and Jesus Christ but I wasn’t Christian or more of fully Christian if that make sense. After I was born, I wasn’t doing too well with my health as I was taken to another hospital that was about two to three hours drive from the hospital that I was born at. I was born in that old hospital at Williamson, Wv on up the hill, not the Williamson Memorial Hospital but the old one right before you get to the Williamson Memorial Hospital and after I was born I wasn’t doing too well for myself so they had to take me to a different hospital because I was beyond their skills at that hospital I was born in. I was taken to Huntington Campbell Hospital in Huntington, Wv because I had high temperature and wasn’t breathing properly; I was too small at that time so I had a lot of wrong things going on with me. The doctor of mine at that time told my mother and the family that they don’t think I would make it past the age of seven (7) because there were too many of wrong things that was going on with me at that time. I was at the hospital as a baby for several weeks, about almost a month I believe so I was under the eyeful of nurses and the doctors on daily basis hoping that I’d fight through it. So after several days later, I got through it and that was when the doctor told my mother that I will not make it past the age of seven so that of course upsets the family obviously.
Anyway, after several months I was able to get to come home so my mother and my family on my mother’s side was very excited about that. Fast forward a few years, on March 18th in 1994 which is my 7th birthday and I was still alive at that time. During that time I had went through a major surgery on my spine as I have scoliosis, they cut the entire of my back wide open from my neck to my tailbone to work on my spine and I got through it well although at that time when I was undergo a major surgery I was four years old I believe so I still had a few more years to go until I arrive that 7th age. Anyway, in 1994 I arrived that age as I said I still was alive at that time, I still visits my “baby” doctor on regular basis to make sure that everything was going well with me and I would have to go to the children hospital in Cincinnati in Ohio every three or five years to keep up with me. I turned eight years old, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, my family and the doctors were surprised by that so we call it a miracle because they don’t see how I could make it through that age even with that major back surgery at age of four. So as I age, I became a teenager I become more rebellious which that is what most of the teenagers usually become and some of them continued being a rebel since their teenager years but for me I stopped. When I turned the age of 22 or 23 I started thinking about my life, I was in a car accident in the year of 2005 that had sent me to the hospital by ambulances in Huntington as the car accident happened in the Huntington because we were on the way to Huntington Mall for Christmas shopping and at that time it was my friend who drove the car. I won’t get into the details about how the car accident happened, the basic of the car accident was that he didn’t pay attention to the road and next thing we know was that after he for once paid attention to the road we were already off the road so he slammed the brakes a bit too quick which started us sliding all over the place then ended us up in the ditch which that bought the car to the stop suddenly so that jerked my bad back that I had since the birth.
Few years later, I started cleaning up my mess and by cleaning up my mess I mean I barely cuss now as I used to cuss like sailor. I used to have the attitude that, let’s say at that time my attitude would hurt some people feelings and such so I buried the stinking attitude I had before. I would socially drink alcohol but now I no longer do so since a few years ago and I started praying about three to four times or so a day and night. I started putting God and Jesus Christ into my life at that age, 22 or 23 and now they are entirely in my life. Ever since then my life started getting better, I now have some positive outlooks that I never had and I now see more clearer. I feel better, I am now twenty-nine years old and going on thirty years old so I beat the doctor’s expectation of death date for me at age of seven because it’s due to the miracle that God and Jesus Christ have gave me. Nobody and nothing can ever take that away from me. I am not too proud of what I was and how I treated some of the people when I was young especially to my close family members including my mother and some of the girls I dated but thankfully I am a better person now than I have ever been.
Note: Please do not comment anything negative about my journey of believing in God and Jesus Christ. I’d greatly appreciate that.
Election Dug Twitter Out Of The Mess
A several months ago I have written a few articles about how badly Twitter was struggling, to the point that Twitter was getting ready to be auctioned to the highest bidder not too long ago to some potential bidders such as Google, SalesForce, Disney, Microsoft, Apple and few of others. Until the election, especially after both candidates were nominated the Twitter started getting themselves out of the mess that they were in and become one of the main place that influence both presidential candidates campaign. Twitter started off with live streaming the election right on the Twitter and allows the Twitter users to tweet live while at the same time watch the live streaming of presidential debates then the election. I think that is the brilliant move on Twitter, tapped in the opportunity when there were nobody else had taken the opportunity yet until Twitter came and grabbed it then Facebook followed it afterward. Twitter did so much better when it comes to live streaming the video of presidential debates than Facebook did because on Twitter they provided closed captions for million of Deaf and Hard of Hearing people while Facebook didn’t prove closed captions for any presidential candidates nor the election so this was one of the reason that Twitter had the edge over Facebook with the live streaming of presidential debates or the election.
Since then that had happened, I started to notice that they started getting more sign ups and I have started noticing that some of my friends who have never used Twitter or refused to give Twitter a try finally decided to sign up at Twitter to give it a try. After giving Twitter a try it seems that they became addicted to Twitter so I am glad that happened because I am a big fan of Twitter and I was in need of having some friends over there that I know in life as I was starting to get a bit tired of following some of the people who I have no clue of or never met in my life.
What Do I Think of North Korea?
I don’t know if you remember a couple of years ago or so where they had shows the news about the death of their former leader Kim Jong-il and it showed the mass hysteria on television live where everybody in North Korea cried? What some of you didn’t know is that there are some of them who cried live on television weren’t real, some of them had to fake their cry because they know that if they don’t that the government of North Korea would imprison their relatives as it had happened to several people in North Korea when the first president/leader of North Korea Kim II-sung died so some of them know this and had to pretend that they were really crying otherwise they know that they would be imprisoned just as some of the people did when the first president/leader of North Korea died so they know to pretend crying for the death of second president/leader of North Korea Kim Jong-il. North Korea is in no way a democracy as the presidents/leaders of North Korea is their generations, first leader is grandfather Kim II-sung passed to its son Kim Jong-il and now it has been passed to the son of Kim Jong-il; Kim Jong-un.
So now the first president/leader’s grandson Kim Jong-un leads the country North Korea. If anything happens to the current North Korea president/leader Kim Jong-un, his brother Kim Jong-nam would be in the line of that generation to take over to lead the country North Korea because the current president/leader Kim Jong-un doesn’t have a son but do have a daughter which won’t be in the line to take over the country. He would need a son to be the next in line to take over North Korea but he doesn’t as he only have a daughter at the moment so the next male in the line is his brother Kim Jong-nam and his brother is the eldest sibling so the youngest son of former president/leader Kim Jong-il is now the leader of North Korea which is a bit odd as usually it goes to the oldest one. Kim Jong-un is probably the youngest president/leader of a country of all countries and that usually comes with some problems because we know that some young people really don’t know much about the politics or government as it usually take several years to learn. That’s why since Kim Jong-un become the president/leader of North Korea, North Korea is no longer a communist as it has been for several decades under his father and his grandfather. Since North Korea is in the control of Kim Jong-un, North Korea have become what they call Totalitarian Dictatorship or an a cult. North Korea is trying so hard to be called Democratic People’s Republic of Korea but it isn’t that at all as it’s doesn’t even follow democracy or let alone a republic.
You can learn about it here: http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2011/12/how-kim-jong-il-became-the-most-successful-dictator-in-modern-history/250194/
So in a way North Korea’s current leader is might as well be the very last successful dictatorship since Hitler of Nazi. North Korea also might as well be called China’s baby who China sometimes gets tired of.
The Power of Social Media
Before the internet exists, we can barely find a way to get our message across and be heard. If we desperately need to get our voice to be heard in the eyes of public towards the government or towards a corporation then we would have to know how to convince the newspapers to put our messages on their newspaper which is very rare because they are very selective when it comes to choosing what messages to be on their newspaper. In other word, it is near impossible to have our message to be printed on their newspaper and let alone to share our thoughts or opinions with the world by having them printed on their newspapers. Back in the days when we had no internet, no social media at that time we know that the only way that we can get our voices to be heard is if they are shared in public and be seen by millions of the people because they know that if million of people reads what we need to say they know that they have to do something about it by doing what we asks of them. So how could we especially all the newspapers are selective when it comes to picking which messages to be printed? So there was no way that we can voice our opinions or thoughts at all.
After the internet was invented, started rolling out with dial-up connection if you even remember them, if you don’t and think that your internet is slow then be very glad that you never had to deal with the dial-up connection because it was 10 times slower than the slowest speed of broadband or even DSL connection so back in the days we had struggled a lot trying to get online to find a way to communicate with other people or to write a piece for some message boards or blogs as the blogs started booming in the year of 1994. After the invention of the blog, for the first time we were able to get our voice across the world to where that they cannot be ignored or be thrown in trash can because they would be posted on blog and be in the eyes of public. At that time it was still not easy to get our voice across though but it was starting to get easier as it was better than not being able to convince any news to print our thoughts or opinions on their newspapers. Until search engines which was invented a bit earlier than the invention of blog, learned how to automatically crawls through everybody’s blogs and submit their articles to the search engines so then at that time it skyrocketed to where our opinions or thoughts would be found in matter of a few days which is a lot faster comparing to the time when search engines had no way of fetching the information from everybody’s blogs nor websites.
Now fast forward a few years later, social networking websites was invented under a website name Friendster, then LinkedIn comes in afterward and then MySpace then the one we know the Facebook. Few years later, Twitter came in the existence and with that every one, every business, every corporation, every government and every where will get the information within’ a second. Now with these services today, we now be able to get information about anything within’ few seconds on the internet and be able to directly voice our opinions or thoughts to anyone who we want to voice our opinions or thoughts about. Now we have the access to billions or zillions of information worldwide, even a piece of information coming from the other end of the world within’ a second and that is simply amazing how the technology have advanced within’ two decades. Now we have the advantage in getting our voice across and use the social media to gather some information or to spread some information about something or somebody. This is one of few reasons I became a blogger for is to spread some information, my thoughts and my opinions because even when I am gone my information that I have shared would still be here for everybody to read in several centuries to come so imagine that!
Misinterpretation of the word “Bub”
I have seen a lot of the people including some of my family members started calling some of other people the word “bub” and they don’t realize that they have misinterpreted the word “Bub”. As I mentioned above about the powerful of the social media, gathering some information and spreading some information. There are downside of the power of social media and that is learning the word without knowing what the word really means. I am sure that when they see some of the other people calls their friends or their family members “bub” they thinks that it is shortened for brother and unfortunately it doesn’t even come close to what it means. For past few years I started seeing my cousin starting to call me bub, even my sister calls me bub and what they don’t realize is that the word “Bub” is actually an offensive word. So this goes for you cousins and my sisters who calls me bub I asks you all to stop calling me bub. Even if you mean to call me as a brother, I am NOT your brother I am your cousin and I want to be called what I am to any of you. I refuse to call my friends my brothers or my sisters because they are not my brothers or sisters, I only go by what they are to me so if I am their brother by blood then I am their brother, if I am their cousins by blood then call me their cousins and so forth please.
Okay, back to the subject about the word “Bub”. Why did I say that calling people the word “Bub” is offensive word? I wonder if you even bother to look up the dictionary for the definition of the word “bub”? Because if you have then you wouldn’t have called me that in the first place unless you do want to offend me on purpose and if that’s the case I don’t appreciate that. Don’t bother pulling up your dictionary book, I will save you some time and screenshot the definition for the word “Bub”.
So I rest my case and all I can say is that be careful the next time when you call somebody “bub”. Because it DOES NOT means brother, not even close and it means something else which you can read them yourself by clicking the image above.
Passwords Manager: LastPass
For the past few months I started to see too much of advertisement for 1PassWord which is considered to be the best password manager but that’s last year because there’s a service that have overtaken the crown for the best password manager. 1Password costs about $65 for Macbook or $10 for iOS app for one-time fee I believe. LastPass costs nothing although it does have a premium option if you want more features for it but the free version one is good enough. The premium for LastPass is $12 every year subscription, that’s for if you want to share your passwords and stuff with others (good for team or business). But just for yourself only, the free version is good enough and you can get a free month premium up to a year by inviting your friends or family members. What LastPass does is that they store the passwords of yours for every websites that you have registered accounts with, storing your credit card information, banking information and secure notes which no one can ever get the access to it but yourself by the use of master password. It also come with two factor authentication option so with that you can secure it to the point that it would be impossible for anyone else to get in but yourself as you would be the one with the master password then the two factor authentication which you will get via the likes of your phone or your tablets.
Once LastPass have stored your login information such as your email address or username with password for every websites that you have a registered account with you would never have to retype the login information once again as it would all need is your master password to log in to auto-login all the websites that you have registered accounts with. Not only that it have the option where it can generate the strongest passwords of all for you for any websites that you would like to generate the passwords for then LastPass will store that password in your LastPass files and from on that forward all you would need is the master password to log in all the websites so with that it will make it very hard for anyone to guess your passwords to get in your accounts.
LastPass is the password manager that has the most access than the infamous 1password because LastPass have extensions for all the internet browsers like Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and others. LastPass also have apps for all the computers and cell phones such as Apple, Android, Windows and even Blackberry! 1Password doesn’t have 1/3 of these features that LastPass have and it is free when 1Password costs for fewer features than what LastPass offers at no costs so I highly recommend LastPass.

Over To You
Okay I think that’s it for tonight as it is 3:35AM now in the morning so it is very late for me and I am getting a bit sleepy so I don’t want to end up falling asleep then next thing this article to be published with several keys after my head hitting the keyboard passing out so I better stop here before that does happen. I would like to ask all of you for some help, I need you to suggest some topics that you would like for me to share my opinions or thoughts about by leaving the comment below because the more topics I can get the better so that it can mean that there would be more tidbit articles in the future in short time instead of one tidbits article for every two weeks due to not being able to come up with a lot of good topics to add in the tidbits. Thank you all for your time reading this article and I hope that all of you have a good night! I bid you good night!
