Brain Food... My Love of Libraries and Book Stores



I miss Libraries.  I miss the smells, the scenes, and the feel of actual real : BOOKS !  I know that we can download books on our tablets and on our phones and kindles...  However, that can never replace the feel and smell of a real book that you can hold and read right in your hands without an illuminated screen straining your eyes and over time destroying your eyesight.  I have always loved the feeling of walking into a bookstore or especially a library.  Here is a secret about me, my heart jumps and beats harder whenever I am in a library or bookstore.  It’s just something about the "brain feeding" feeling of being in a place where there are people who actually use their brain to think, read and comprehend everything around them.  I love meeting random strangers who engage with me in deep intellectual intercourse and pique my interest in things that actually matter in this world other than mindless "Kardashian BS" !

Here are some of my absolute favorite places that I personally recommend...

1. Atomic Books - Literary finds for mutated minds... (You would have to be from Bmore to get that)


2. Enoch Pratt Library - An awesome place to hone your inner self. 


3. Barnes and Noble : Waterford Lakes, East Orlando, Florida.  Comfortable and Classy.


4. Books - A - Million - Kissimmee, Florida.  Be sure to say hello to "Joe Muggs" and tell them The Fox sent you !  



5. Charlotte Library : Very caring people and well organized network.



6. Orlando Library - A comfortable place to unwind and feed your mind...

Well, It's now August 1st, 2021.  What the hell is going on in this wacky world today ?  So much is going on in today's world.  With everything now distorting the line between fiction and reality, I have been constantly focusing on upgrading "ME" continually these past few years.  I have had some serious struggles, But here is where I am today in my current life :

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra - Post Review

This is one of the BEST phones of 2021 hands down.  The #Samsung GalaxyS21Ultra 5G.  I have been using this device since it debuted.  It has the best night vision mode and the most powerful zoom features I have ever seen.  In my opinion, this is the corrected model of last year's Galaxy S20 Ultra or what it was supposed to be.  Samsung got it right.  Next year's model, the Galaxy S22 Ultra promises to be packed with super hard-hitting features and has a lot in store for all of us.


However, this year's S21 Ultra is actually so good, I am not entirely sure that I would upgrade or even see a need to ?  I especially love the call clarity of the microphone and the booming speakers that I actively listen to music on daily and watch all my favorite YouTube channels and documentaries on.  It's the perfect size with a great set of cameras on it.  The Snapdragon 888 processor chip is so awesome and I can't seem to put it down.  This is a great buy and I highly recommend it to all android users.  Also, check out the slow-motion and panorama features on the camera.  My favorite feature is the pro filming mode where you can see yourself and what you are filming all at the same time.  It uses the front and the back cameras together and That Super Cool.  I'm having too much fun with it and I know you will too !

Immigration


WHY oh WHY...  Why do most immigrants choose The United States to come too?  Of ALL the other countries on this green earth...  Yes, there are a lot of benefits and advantages here (But quickly disappearing).  Yes, this is "Supposed" to be the land of opportunity (which is quickly becoming increasingly impossible to reach, even for natural-born Americans).  Yes, this is "Supposed" to be a safe haven for immigrants to start a whole new "peaceful" life... (NOT in ANY inner-city, USA)  or is it ?  

The truth is the TRUTH.  No matter how much no one whats to say this out loud, the fact is: there has always been so much historical HATE, RACISM, VIOLENCE and SEPARATION in this "supposed to be free" country, that I just can't figure out WHY #immigrants choose this country of all the other countries to migrate and immigrate too ?  They say that a picture is worth a thousand words.  Well, here are countless... 

 
 
 
 

This is now the country we live in POST-TRUMP !  This country was already riddled with hate and racism, but after #Trump inflamed this country with his personal hateful views, it's now grossly amplified times a MILLION.  Is THIS REALLY the life YOU want to live ?  Is THIS REALLY the country YOU want to come too ?  Is this REALLY the future YOU want for yourself, your family, and your future generations ?  Why would anyone want to be in such a hateful place where they are not wanted and is next to impossible to prosper in ? 


Immigration is not an easy process, nor is it quick, by any means.  It's a very long and sometimes next to impossible goal to achieve, only to live in a hateful country that you are not wanted in and need to continuously fight to stay in.  Now, I'm not saying that it's not worth it overall, and I'm not saying that you shouldn't try...  However, what I AM saying is that certainly, this is NOT the only country in the world that someone can build a new life in.  There are many less hateful, less violent, less discriminating countries that are far more welcoming and would be a much better choice than the "good ole USA" (especially in this day and age).  Make your choice carefully and do your homework first before you make that leap of faith.  The fact is, a growing number of natural Americans are now leaving this hateful violent place because even we can see that the "American Dream" is just a pipe dream and a big "Hoax" at best.  This country has definitely gone down hill (especially now after #Trump screwed it up even more)  Is THIS "REALLY" the life that YOU want ?  Just think long and hard about it, before you put your entire future and your family on the line...  

There are far more countries that are more friendly towards #immigrants, more welcoming, and more peaceful to live in.    

KNOW what you are signing up for BEFORE YOU DO !

Is it REALLY worth it, when there are so many other viable choices ?

Online Security


Hello readers and welcome to my FIRST BLOG POST OF 2021 

       I am so excited for the new year.  I am working hard in the background to cook up something good for my life.  I will give more details on that later...  For now : Online Security... 


In this day and age of online hackers and phishing attempts, we could all use a little "FAKE" in our lives...  It's GOOD to be FAKE !  What I mean is : Hackers are trying hard to steal your personal information.  So I have a few tips on how to beat the hackers "BEFORE YOU GET HACKED".  

1. When you create a Facebook, Twitter, or other social media account, there is always a chance of being hacked.  Nothing is 100% absolutely unhackable.  Here is the golden rule of thumb.  They can ONLY get the info that "YOU" put out there, knowingly or unknowingly.  So if you "ONLY" use fake information from the very start, and you get hacked, they can ONLY get the info that you allowed them to obtain.  Therefore they actually get NOTHING.  So if they want your information so bad, just give it to them...  Fake information all the way... 

1A. Use a Fake name, Fake birthdate, and set up a dummy e-mail just for social media accounts alone.

2. Always use a fake birthday.  Example : If your birthday is August 15th, 1976, use October 31st, 1985.  You can use anything that makes you over 18 years old.  Just never your real date of birth.  If you fake it out from the beginning in the creation of your online accounts, you never need to worry about hackers because they will never get your real info since it was never used in the first place.  Also, if some of your online friends wish you a happy birthday on that day and it's NOT REALLY YOUR BIRTHDAY...  JUST SAY : Thank you and nothing else !

3. Location tagging...  In your phone, tablet, and computers, always turn your location off.  If there are apps that require it, always use a fake location.  If you are in New York, use Las Vegas, NV, or anyplace you like, just never where you are truly located.  I don't know what's worse, hackers or stalkers, YIKES ! 

4. Phishing...  We all get e-mails that look closely like the real thing.  A sale at Best Buy, a notice to verify your accounts, You owe a debt and we are going to put you in jail unless you pay, or you need to verify your banking details, Blah Blah Blah.  There are many examples of slick phishing attacks.  You see the logos of the real business, and it says it's that it's from them, but some easy ways to spot the fakes are to look for "misspellings", look at the direct e-mail address it came from, look at the poor quality images, and of course, you can simply call the "Supposed Business" directly to verify the communication.  And remember : whatever you do - DON'T CLICK ON ANY LINKS IN THE E-MAIL at all.  Mark it as SPAM, Block the sender or just delete it.  Trust your own instincts and just use common sense. 


5. Always use a good strong virus scanner software and make sure you always keep it up-to-date every time you use your devices, like a ritual of habit. 

6. Where ever and whenever possible, stay behind a good firewall and VPN.  

7. Stay OFF public wifi.  If you are at a restaurant, in a store, at a mall, or even in a hospital, many places offer free wifi these days.  Here is simple wisdom : JUST DON'T USE IT !  It may be FREE, Easy, and Convenient, but so is getting hacked and easily giving away all your information as well.  

8. Do a FULL SYSTEM virus scan weekly at least.  Never go too long without scanning your system.  A clean sweep is always good, as a regular cleansing of your body.  It's just needed and good common sense to do regularly.  

9. When you close your browser, remember to clear your history and cache files.  You can also set your browsers to clear automatically when you close them.  

10. Use the masking features of your browser to hide your online searches.  FireFox has a good masking feature.  I personally recommend using "DuckDuckGO".  If you have any online privacy concerns, DuckDuckGo has your back.  

11.  Start looking up YouTube videos of Internet Privacy and educate yourself.  There are many of them out there.  Here is a YouTube channel that I PERSONALLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND : Rob Braxman Tech.  

12. Last but not least...  Change your passwords often.  Create a "Password System" that works for you.  Here is an example of a "Password System" (You can create your own).  Write out a sentence and use the First letter of each word and combine it with numbers and a symbol.  Also use a Capital letter as well somewhere in the password.  Remember, passwords are "CaSe SensaTIVe"  

12A. (Password Example) : I love my god + numbers like (example) 2021 and a symbol.  In this :"example", your password would come out to be : "Ilmg202!".  Get it !               


I hope these online security tips help you.  Remember the goal is Online Privacy and protecting yourself at all time.  Finally, if you are worried about something getting out there or getting hacked, just remember, if you don't want something out there, DON'T PUT IT OUT THERE TO BEGIN WITH !  Oh and tell ROB that The Fox sent you...  See Number 11...
  
Love Always in Your Life,
