Hey! How are you all doing? I hope that all of you are doing very well, I am doing alright here although I am in a bit pain or truthfully somewhat a lot in pain with my elbow but I am doing fine overall and I am a bit tired. For past, few months, especially when we start getting colder weather as we head in winter it seems that it increases my pain and that does it every year. I guess it is due to my age as I am about to be three decades or thirty years old in just three months or more so less than three months since I was born in March 18th and we have passed the 18th of December so it makes it less than three months. That isn’t something for me to be excited about, if this was 1950s or earlier the age of thirty would be considered mid age but now since that we have advanced in technology and science here in the United States the mid age have become forty-five to sixty-five (Google it) so that is somewhat a relief for me but I feels as if I am turning eighty years old though. My bones aren’t as stubborn as it was when I was teenager, obviously the older I become the older and weaker my bones in my body will get which that is something that I am not looking forward to. Nonetheless we can never be any younger, we always will be older unless some of you can invent a functioning time machine and if you have invented it please let me know so I can go back to my good youth years if I get to keep my current’s brain with me (memories, level of education and others).
If there has been someone who have invented a time machine that is functional, what years would you like to go back to or in the future and why? Please leave a comment below, I am very curious about your answer because honestly who doesn’t want to go back in time or go in future time? I am sure that there are some answers from some of you saying that you are happy with the current years that we are in now which is 2016 going on to 2017.
12-24-2016 Short or Not Tidbits
I don’t plan on to make this a long tidbits article because as I tweeted just a few minutes ago or an hour ago that my left elbow is in sharp pain and it hasn’t disappear yet so I have a feelings that my left elbow will be hurting badly for a few of days so I am not looking forward to that but that also means that I will be trying to type as much as I can to blog about some of the things but if it gets worse while I am typing then I will try to end it and call it a short tidbits. What matters is that it is better than not writing anything for my readers, all of you as my readers are very important to me and I try as best I can to entertain some of you. I know I cannot please everybody, nobody can pleasure everybody anyway but we can only be hopeful and try to at least deliver few interesting things to entertain. I will start with the tidbits article because it is at 1:30AM, as in previous articles I have said that my timing is always out of control and it seems that I can never get it back in control but oh well I guess.
Merry Christmas
First, I would like to wish every one of you Merry Christmas, I hope that all of you will enjoy the Christmas this year with your family and friends. Are you and your family planning on to make a big Christmas dinner for you all? Let me know what you are having in the comment below! I am not sure what we will be having for Christmas dinner, all I know is that my mom talked about two options of what we should have for Christmas dinner, Thanksgiving foods (turkey, stuffed dressing, potatoes, etc.) or slow cooked roast beefs with some vegetables in the pressure cooker which will be cooked overnight so I am not sure which one that my mother have decided. Either way, both are delicious so whichever my mom has decided will be all fine with me because I love her cooking and she can seriously cook. My grandmother has been the best cooker I have ever ate, her ways of cooking with some of the foods and her recipes have been passed down to my mother as my grandmother taught her when she was very young so in a way I am eating my grandmother’s foods except that it is being cooked by my mother. Nonetheless I hope that you all have a great Christmas this year, as for you kids be sure to get your butt to bed because if you don’t then you may not get anything from Santa Clause so be sure to get yourself in bed before or by midnight on the night of Christmas eve and I hope that all of you will enjoy your Christmas with your parents because being with parents for Christmas is something that you treasure.
Middle Finger Selfie
Okay, I have seen a picture of somebody who took a selfie with middle finger and I decided to leave a comment saying that by taking a selfie with the middle finger shows immaturity of that person. Of course, that person tried to defend by saying if I don’t like it then delete that person off my friends list. That wasn’t my intention to offend that person or anyone who takes selfie pictures with middle fingers in it but that do shows immaturity. Flipping a middle finger in some pictures are so tactless, it is something that some of the people have done it for several decades and I think it is getting old like the ones with duck face selfies or whatever it is that they call that. That’s why for years now when I decide that it is time for a new selfie, I would snap a selfie of me being myself and not flipping a finger or making a duck face or anything. If I was to do anything for selfie, I would rarely show a peace sign and that’s better than flipping a middle finger or making a lame duck face that some of the girls have done lately for few years now since the smartphone added a face camera. Sure, some of the duck face pictures were cute especially for the children who like to be playful but tone it down though and in long run the corporations, business, organizations or people will thank you for it because some of the companies do look up old pictures to current ones to get an idea of what person they are so be careful with that unless some of you have some banks that can last you a lifetime.
JoshiesWorld Can Koozie
I would like to buy a few customs can koozie but the problem is that the business such as customink or others can only sell them in bulk such as 100 can koozies and each one costs about $5 so if you would be interested in buying one can koozie please let me know. The minimum quantity is 100, that’s too way many for me to have since I only wanted about twenty to thirty JoshiesWorld can koozies so that leaves 60 quantity to go for anyone who would be interested in buying and by doing that will help me to get thirty of them. If you are interested in buying some, let me know by leaving a comment or use the contact page which can be found at the top and or direct message (DM) me on Twitter or message me through JoshiesWorld Facebook page!
I am also thinking of buying some custom stickers as well so if you would like some of them, let me know too.
Come on Microsoft?!
When you hear that company’s name or brand name Microsoft then you would automatically think of Windows since Microsoft invented Windows and operates them on several computers in people’s homes. I got MacBook Pro last year for the Christmas from my mother, a couple of months ago, when I was notified that there was an update for the Microsoft Office 365 as I pay subscription for Microsoft Office 365 every year because I use them daily and I rely on Word to write some articles for blogs, writing letters for people or business or writing a formal letter now and then. After downloading the update for all the software in Office 365 such as Word, Outlook, Publisher, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive, OneNote and others that I can’t remember, I immediately recognized a new feature calls Focus Mode for the MacBook Pro as the update were for Mac. I decided to give the focus mode a try, when I click the focus mode it literally made the entire screen white with nothing but typing/writing. I immediately fell in love with that new feature, because Focus Mode is to help for anyone who wants to have distraction free and that can be very helpful especially for the blogger or columnist. I decided to see if there were any updates for the Windows computer, I use windows computer daily and only use MacBook Pro for my work mostly so I use the windows desktop (tower) for everything else (it’s supercomputer/gaming PC) so I checked for the updates. It had some updates waiting to be downloaded so I got excited, I downloaded updates for all the software that Office 365 has and once the downloading of updates has been completed I was so disappointed to see that they didn’t add the Focus Mode for the Windows version? Odd! Office 365 is owned by Microsoft, they are mainly focused for Windows operating software and it doesn’t get one of the best tool that they added for Mac? Amazing! So, come on Microsoft, add Focus Mode for the Windows version please so it can help me to write some of the things for my work and to not be distracted by anything else but the white screen with words.
Favorite Video Streaming Services
What are your favorite video streaming services? Like Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime. Over a year ago, when I decided to subscribe to a video streaming service, I started out trying that blockbuster one but it went out of business so that left me Netflix or Hulu as at that time Amazon Prime just have started rolling out their video streaming service. I found out that one of my mother’s friend was subscribed to so she gave me the login information for me to try it out and I was using it for about a month or two in her name then I fell in love with Netflix so I chose Netflix as the first video streaming service to subscribe. For several months, I have been pleased with all kinds of selection that Netflix had, especially television shows so I started watching The Walking Dead as my first TV show to follow-up through season one to five for several months and then there was another video streaming service that was booming like crazy. It was starting to get praised by several people, media and among of others. That is the Hulu. I am aware that Hulu has been around long way before Netflix, in fact I used to watch some of the things on Hulu when it offered free service to watch so nobody had to pay for subscription or anything and I think that Hulu realized how successful Netflix had become so Hulu decided to redesign Hulu completely. Calling it Hulu Plus, why Hulu was booming so fast and become so wild with the media is because Hulu offers something that Netflix couldn’t or didn’t think of. That would be the day after the aired episodes of many television shows, Netflix must wait until the first season of a new television show to renew for season two then Netflix would get the entire season one of the new television show so that is good for anyone who prefer to watch the entire season without having to wait weekly for the next new episode for a television show. Hulu can only stream five newest episodes of a lot of television shows, so when a television show made sixth episode for the television show then Hulu remove the episode one to add the episode sixth so that’s not bad at all as it adds the new episode the day after it was aired on television.
At first I was somewhat resistant to try Hulu Plus, because I wasn’t exactly how Hulu works and my main concern was do they have all closed captions for all of television shows and movies like Netflix have? Because National Association of the Deaf and Netflix had come a settlement that Netflix would make the entire library to have closed captions so 100% closed captions but the question does Hulu? Nonetheless I decided that I’d stick with Netflix because it has entertained me daily, also not only that I was worried if Hulu didn’t have enough television shows or movies for me as I pretty much subscribe to the video streaming services just for television shows and for a while I was tempted to try Hulu out many times. Until that day, I just gave in, signed up for the 14 days I think or 30 days’ trial period to try Hulu and I got addicted to it. So, I decided to pause my monthly subscription for Netflix, only for one month because I often find myself wanting to watch some of the things on Netflix so I decided from on now that I would be subscribed to both video streaming services. Then comes Amazon Prime, almost the same story with Hulu as I gave in and tried Amazon Prime. So, I decided to use all three video streaming videos, mainly so that this give me a lot more options of what I want as if Netflix doesn’t have a TV show that I looks for then I look for it on Hulu and if it doesn’t have it there then I look for it on Amazon Prime. So, my favorite video streaming services out of these three?
Still Netflix! However, on my top three favorite streaming videos services list, Hulu is trying so hard to knock down the Netflix to number two of my top three favorite video streaming videos and so I guess in a way I will say that both are equally my favorite but as for Amazon Prime it will be kept as my number three for now until they start adding more television shows because lately Amazon Prime has been somewhat slow with adding some of the television shows especially for the Amazon Prime user.
Santa Clause Visited!
Santa Clause rode a fire truck that belongs to Belfry Volunteer Fire Department in Belfry, Ky all over in different local areas such as Belfry, Forest Hills, Sidney, Stone, South Williamson, Turkey Creek, Hardy and some of the others to spread the joy for the children so that they can think or I mean know that Santa Clause is real so that means get to the bed early on the Christmas Eve night! I decide to take a quick video of Santa Clause riding the firetrucks down the street that I lives on using my new GoPro Hero 5 Black with 3-way pole so enjoy!
Over to You
Okay, it looks like I will be calling this a short tidbit because my elbow screams saying that I need to stop writing so I am stopping here for now but I will try to write another one tomorrow if my elbow gets any better. I am hoping that it will get better because it would suck to have hurting elbow for the Christmas but I am trying so hard to not let it ruins my joy I guess. If you have any ideas on what I should write about for the next tidbits, please go here and fill out some topics suggestion! I bid you good night and Merry Christmas in case if I don’t blog tomorrow night.
