There are going to be a few of topics that I would like to share my opinions, my thoughts and along with some of the things that few of you may not know. As for some of you who checks my blog daily knows by now that the tidbits article intend to be a long reading article but if some of you are new or have just started reading my blog, by definition for the word “tidbits” says; a choice or pleasing bit of anything, as news or gossip. So you should get the picture, that it means there will be a few or many topics and not just one topic for an article and tidbits article are usually more entertaining or interesting to read instead of an article about one topic so to give you something more to read. As for me personally, I like to read articles that discuss on a few topics than just one topic because when it comes to writing or reading an article on one topic only they intends to be too short and as some of you know me, I am very talkative so tidbits article coming from me would be no surprise to some of you. If you are new or unaware that I have written a good numbers of tidbits article, I recommend that you do a search by typing “tidbits” word at the top of the website where you will see the red button saying “Go” beside the search field then you will get a list of few tidbit articles that I have written so more for you to read if you are interested in reading more tidbit articles so that you won’t have to wait impatiently for the new tidbits article thinking that this is the first tidbits article when it is not. Nonetheless I hope that you will enjoy today’s tidbits article as a few topics that I will be writing about or on.
I think that there are at least one or maybe more than one, hopefully, topics that would be interesting for you to read and who knows, any information can be valuable as there are sometimes new information that you never knew or old information that you already know.

Blogging and Career
I have not told the truth, when I was young I didn’t think that I would be blogging in my future as becoming a blogger weren’t my plan or a career that I want to become as there were a few of things that I liked to become such as coal miner, wrestler, photographer, film director and some of the others but almost all of what I would like to become is blue collars. I never thought of wanting to be white-collar or pink collar which is becoming a doctor, a lawyer, working in some offices or in any administrative settings. As I became older, a several years later until in the year of 2004 when I met owner of a social networking website that were booming calls ShowMyPro after registering an account and we both became somewhere between of acquaintance and friends. ShowMyPro owner named Scott Martin, I never really knew how a website were built at that time until after joining ShowMyPro and the social networking website had a profile customization where any members can customize their profile in any way they want by changing the looks of their profile with coding calls CSS. At that time I wasn’t sure how it works, so as any curious member would wonder how to pimp out their profile seeks out some help in the forum or from the owner himself and I took the route of going to the owner himself instead asking for some how-tos in the forum.
As the owner gave me a sample in the profile’s layout coding in CSS, instructed me on which parts is what such as background colors, text colors, borders colors and how to add more boxes using the CSS like .div to add more columns on the profile on ShowMyPro. So I asked Scott himself if it would be a possibility that I could instant message him to have a chat with him, back at that time the most popular instant messaging were Yahoo! Messenger so from there we both had some conversations and we would discuss about that website that he had built from scratch so I asked him a few questions such as how to own a website. After few weeks later, learning HTML/CSS coding to pimp out my profile, that attracts thousands of members and thousands of members started coming to me asking me to pimp their profiles so from there I started styling their profiles so from that point I became their go-to “profile pimp” guy. So I have coded and custom stylized hundreds of members profile over the year which is a lot. The amount of coding that I have coded hundreds of member profiles using the html/css coding language would have built two or three websites of my own but at that time I did not know that it was what uses to build the layout for any websites as I thought it was just a part of the profile itself only.
So since then, I launched my own social networking website calls CheckMyPro.com and that didn’t go well in a long run as I had come across a lot of problems so after a few months I had it shut down but then I decided to build another one with another new domain name calls KillYourBoredom.com which became my first successful website that I have personally built. It had bought in thousands of members, it became somewhat a competition with ShowMyPro.com and the owner decided to sell his website to somebody else for $15,000 so that was his mistake because after he sold it to a guy named Rob, a booming social networking website immediately sunk like Titanic. Thousands of members worried, thought and hoped that I was the next guy in the line to take over the ShowMyPro.com since I am well-known for profiles pimp there but unfortunately at that time I couldn’t afford the asking price for the booming social networking website that started struggling after the new ownership of the website. Nonetheless that’s what started me getting into websites, after successfully launching a second social networking website but after a couple of years I had to shut down a successful website because I lost the interests in managing a website and I retired for a few months to a year.
Then I started missing it, the thrill of sleepless nights working on the website making sure that the website runs smoothly and make sure that all the members are taken care of. But this time I decided that I wouldn’t bring back KillYourBoredom.com or build another social networking website so I decided that I would do blogging and since that moment I became a blogger as I launched this website JoshiesWorld.com in the year of 2007 in August on the 8th. So the rest is the history, I became blogger since then and I take pride in blogging although at this moment I am freelance blogger which I don’t mind but I hope that in the future I will write articles for some news outlet whether it be local, regional or national.
My Pet Peeves
I am pretty sure that everyone has pet peeves, something that they cannot stand and try to avoid from whatever it is their pet peeves so here are a few of my pet peeves.
- I am very picky when it comes to foods, meats in particular, there are a few meats that I absolutely cannot stand the most is the ham. Every time I received foods like sandwiches or some of these pizza rolls that they sell at some gas stations like Double Kwik or at some seven-eleven (7-11) gas stations I would always pry it open to see if there are any ham in there. If there is ham, I won’t take the ham out as I will throw the entire thing away. My mother would often say that I could just take the ham out of them, that doesn’t just work like that way with me because knowing that there were ham in them in the first place. That is how much I cannot stand ham, not just ham I also cannot stand several other meats such as pork chops, lois, ribeyes and few more. Only meats I dearly love is the deer back-strip steak.
- Water, now I do love the water itself, I bathe in water, I drinks water and all but what I cannot stand is getting wet such as rain or around a swimming pool with my non-swimming clothes on getting splashed; I cannot stand it. Only water that I like is if it is used to wash something but not getting splash or wet for no reason.
- Bub, bub and bub – oh darn you bub! I don’t like when anyone calls me bub because it is offensive, if you don’t believe me then I dare you to look it up on search engines and you will be shocked to see that calling people “bub” is offensive. Call me by my name or my nickname, Joshua, Josh or preferably Joshie. Bub, bud, pal, buddy and what the heck ever else are not my name so please get this right.
- Go and stop. Seriously? Can’t you drive, I mean really? You have a driver license, you go and stop like seriously. Gas and brake pedals are not turntables. In fact, you are not supposed to drive with both feet on both pedals as you only need one especially if you are driving automatic vehicles but as for manual then the use of two feet is the way to go but for automatic vehicle? I mean come on!
- Add me friends on my personal Facebook and not having a conversation or keeping in touch with me is nonsense. I did not accept your friends request for you to just be a lurker, I accepted your friends request so that we both can keep in touch with each others and keep up with whatever is going on in their lives but barely getting in touch? Stop that!
Finally, United States and Cuba!
It is about time that the United States and Cuba become friends with each others again because each others acts as if they were in high school or something. Since the cold war in the 1960s, United States and Cuba soured their relations with each others so since then that time the United States banned embassy, visa and everything with Cuba for several decades until today! For the first time in several decades, a commercial United States airliner made a landing on Cuba’s soil today in Santa Clara which is the center of Cuba and the first airliner that landed in Santa Clara, Cuba were JetBlue Flight 387. JetBlue Flight 387 commemorated before leaving the United States soil with water hose from firefighters and when the airliner JetBlue Flight 387 landed in Santa Clara, Cuba they had their firefighter showering the airplane with water hose to commemorate the new relationship with both nations. When JetBlue Flight 387 landed, Cuba people were standing and gave them a very warm welcome. The other nine commercial United States airliners will follow with their own routes from United States to Cuba, they say that there will be up to 110 flights per day from United States to Cuba! A hundred ten flights per day is actually a lot of flights to be made from United States to Cuba, especially being that since they are beginning to normalize their relations with each others and this means that United States citizens gets to go over there and Cuba citizens gets to come over here in the United States. More trading to come, more improvement and better future for the Cuba as a country which that is something that I am happy about as I have always been against the ban.
I am looking forward to have some cuba cigars here in the future, legally and it is about the time for that because I am getting somewhat tired of buying cigars directly from Havana which is right next to Cuba but not as pure as Cuba cigars are although both are pretty darn close. If you ever want to visit Cuba then you now have the chance to do so and if any of you Cubans ever wanted to visit the United States then you have the chance to do so now. As United States citizen, I very much welcome you to the United States soil and I truly hope that you will have a great experience in your visit. I recommend New York or Las Vegas.

People Is Taking Politics Too Serious!
Unbelievably, some of the people takes politics too serious, elections in particular and they often overreact. I am getting tired of seeing some of the people unfriend their family or friends from their Facebook account just because they don’t agree with their choice of presidential candidates and if they decide to vote the opposite presidential candidates then they would be immediately unfriended. Are you freaking kidding me? You are an adult so quit acting like a child and grow some balls. You have your own choice with who you want to vote for and so do they, just because they are voting the opposite presidential candidates of your choice does not mean that it is necessary to unfriend or insults them. Where is their freedom of speech? They have the right to share their opinions on who they want to vote for, it is their own journey and it is your own journey. You cannot force somebody to follow your journey, because it is your own journey, nobody else and that goes the same for them. If you are voting for Donald Trump and they are voting for Hillary Clinton then leave it at that. You have your reasons for your wish to vote Donald Trump and they have reasons for their wish to vote Hillary Clinton.
I have decided that I am voting for Hillary Clinton because it is my gut that tell me that she would be the right one to run the office and she has the experience to so despite some of her faults when she was secretary at that time with confidential emails. Donald Trump have his mistakes too, he is known for four times bankruptcy so how in the heck can he be wise when it comes to the United States spending? Wait! See, you were ready to tell me some excuse or throw some facts at me about that and I suggest that you don’t because I was just saying that to get the point across. They each have their faults, everybody have the rights to vote for whoever that they feel comfortable with and follow their guts as so should you too so please don’t try to force their choice because that isn’t the right thing to do. If they are voting Hillary Clinton, oh well and if they are voting Donald Trump, oh well. Simple as that. You cannot tell me that every words that comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth is truth and that goes the same for Hillary Clinton even that I am voting for Hillary Clinton. So really, it all matters is whatever it is that they are saying such as what they would do if they win the election, will they keep their own words or just saying some of these to get votes? That is something we cannot figure out until one of them became the president of the United States then we can for once of all see if any one of them do good or bad and if they keep their own words.
Nonetheless if your family or friends are voting a presidential candidate that you are against, please be adult and don’t go unfriend spree. I am twenty-nine years old and some of my family members and friends unfriend me just because I am neutral in between these two presidential candidates until a few days ago that I made my decision to vote Hillary Clinton but I was getting tired of it though so please don’t be them.
Minecraft For PC/Mac
I decided to buy Minecraft the other day from Wal-Mart for both operating systems because I became curious what Minecraft is all hyped to be. After playing the Minecraft, I got to be honest with you I still cannot get it. What do you do in minecraft? Just hammering everywhere you go? Help me to understand better what Minecraft is really about so that I can know what I am supposed to be doing in the game. If you have Minecraft and want to play minecraft with me someday, contact me here with your username so that I can add you there.
American Sign Language Is Not Cute
I am very tired of the people saying that American Sign Language is cute, it isn’t cute because American Sign Language is real language and it’s not something to mock of. How can you think that American Sign Language or “sign language” is cute or adorable? It is like saying that English is cute, wait a minute?! Screw you. Aw, that’s cute! So out of respect for the Deaf community, please do not belittle the language that Deaf community uses and American Sign Language shall be taken serious from on now. Wait, wait! American Sign Language or “sign language” is fun! Thank you but again it’s a real language and it’s nonsense to think that it’s cute, fun, adorable or whatever the heck else words in English because American Sign Language is a language just as the English is so please show some respect.
Audism and Audiologists Seriously Stop!
Everyday audism and audiologists are trying to divide the Deaf community by robbing their language along with their culture. Depriving their language is a serious case, more so trying to take their culture away from them and think that being Deaf or Hard of Hearing is something wrong when there is not even anything wrong with being Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Being Deaf or Hard of Hearing is considered culturally, I am sure that is something that many of you can never understand and I suggest that you do some research to why I am saying that. Better yet I highly recommend that you buy a book calls Understanding Deaf Culture: In Search of Deafhood on Amazon or somewhere because that book will definitely help you to understand better about the Deaf community or the culture in the Deaf community.
That book is written by Dr. Paddy Ladd in PhD. Click here to get the book at amazon.
The Arrow, The Flash and Gotham.
If you don’t know these names, The Arrow, The Flash, Gotham and the likes then you had no childhood or maybe adulthood. No I don’t mean that as offensive, as I am kidding but I am pretty sure that a lot of you know or have heard the names of these because these names are TV shows that is becoming popular these days. These are superheroes TV shows, The Arrow is off the Green Arrow character, The Flash, well that says it and Gotham is off Bruce Wayne aka Batman at his youth. Gotham second season (2nd) came out on DVD last week which I bought on the same day that it was released, The Arrow fourth season (4th) DVD came out yesterday which of course I bought it on the same day that it was released which were yesterday and The Flash second season (2nd) DVD is coming out next week on 6th on this month September which I am looking forward to very much. I have started watching Gotham last week, I am halfway in the 2nd season of Gotham since last night and I say BRAVO! Gotham is getting better every episodes and I just started watching The Arrow fourth season last night, only watched two episodes so far and I already fell in more love with it since I started watching the first season of The Arrow on Netflix. If you never have watched any of these TV shows, I highly recommend that you start watching them and you can do so by watching them on Netflix for earlier seasons so that you can get idea of what they all are about but beware that it will make you want to go ahead to get the newest season without waiting for the newest season to come to Netflix as I couldn’t wait.
I absolutely would love to tell you what happens in these shows but I am not big fan of ruining with spoilers so I am just going to leave it as it is and the rest is up to you but I do highly recommend that you watch these TV shows along with Legends of Tomorrow on Hulu.
If you’d like to get Gotham second season, The Arrow fourth season and preorder second season of The Flash, order these below here.
