The 5 Major Trades
The 5 Major Trades
Welder
While living in Florida (again), in 2022 - 2023, I attended Daytona State College for Welding Technician. So, WELDING is something I know a lot about and can speak too personally. Which is exactly why I listed this one first. I can tell you absolutely this, Welding is so rewarding, calming and peaceful. Peaceful as in soul soothing, not as in sound / noise (just to be clear). Whenever I do a "PUBLIC" blog post, my credibility is ALWAYS on the line so I have to be clear here. Anyway, I met a lot of cool people, made a lot of friends and learned a lot of new things. Welding of course makes great money, which goes without saying. Also, it gives you a hands-on skill for life that no one can ever take away from you. If you stay in practice and you hone your craft well, you can write your own ticket in life. I believe strongly that welding id something that never goes away and will always be in demand. Master this skill and employers will be running to YOU ! In my current location at the time of this post, I live in an area where the closest "Welding Opportunity" is far away from me so you will need to live in a major market area, know that.
Electrician
Here's a SHOCKER... Being an Electrician is a High risk and that's an understatement for sure. So you dam well better "KNOW" what you are doing. With that being said... It pays extremely well and you will be needed : EVERYWHERE ! Especially in New Construction. It's a skill in demand that not many competent people can do : well. Just know that it's not the easiest, but if you pay attention and know your craft, you won't need to worry over job security or competition. You will always be ELECTRIFYING to all employers : Everywhere. You decide...
Plumber
OK, I won't hit you with the expected Super Mario puns and jokes (Too EASY), but seriously, Plumbing and Plumbers are needed everywhere. The concept is simple and ease. Keep the water flowing and the drain clear. That's it, right... Well, there is of course a lot more too it than that. However, there is always a need for Plumbers everywhere. In my home state of Maryland, a lot of Plumbers I know (as well as HVAC Technicians) work for Apartment complexes and they tend to live on the property FREE of very low co$t rent. Huge perk, especially in today's world. There is no denying that it's a basic job that the "Average Joe" can do to make a great living, always be in demand and have definite undeniable job security. If you don't believe that, wait til you have a clogged drain or stopped up toilet and think about how you feel then or just look at the online job listings and salaries and you'll see...
Carpenter
You know, I have to be honest... After doing Welding, Carpentry was my next step and I didn't get the chance (Very BITTER). With my love of Tiny Houses and being able to weld my own frames and trailers, I would jump at the chance to do Carpentry. It's also the best way to beat the banks too. Buy your own piece of land, build your own home or small house and have NO MORTGAGE. Just the yearly property tax on the land and maybe the water bill. You can get around the electric bill with solar panels and large battery storage. The fact is... Like my great grandfather, building your own home, on your own land, is the greatest peace of mind. Never having to work yourself to death, being able to retire early and owing nothing to anyone. Just being able to live an easy life in peace. Maybe even make money with your own business building small homes and furniture for others. Carpentry is so rewarding, under rated and I think it should be a requirement in schoolls. Even when I was in middle school (6th and 7th grades), I had wood shop class. I actually fell in love with a coping saw. It's small, flexible and extremely useful for small and curved spaces and corners. Carpentry is a fiend that is ALWAYS in demand in 1 way or another and very creative. Just ask a guy like Zack Giffin. 1 last thing..., besides Zack, whom I highly admire for his skill and creativity, Jesus Christ was the greatest Carpenter who ever lived ! Just saying...
HVAC
Rounding up the top 5 trades is... : HVAC ! I saved this one for last (ON PURPOSE). Weather you work on the Residential side or the Commercial side, this top trade is so flexible and universal. It fits EVERYWHERE and ANYWHERE ! If you live in the North, you will always need heating. If you live in the South, you will always need Air Conditioning. And you need Refrigeration and Ventilation : EVERYWHERE. There is nothing I can't say about this one that you probably don't already know. This is always a quick easy way to also start a hands-on business easily as well. All residences and businesses need HVAC. You can't live "ANYWHERE" on the planet earth without needing some sort of climate control, no matter what region you live in. This is the 1 trade that is universal everywhere, all year around. And of course it pays well, obviously. I really don't think I need to say anything more about it to be honest... HVAC is a "Safe Bet" for all tradesman and trades women too!

WAKE UP : Bring Jesus Back
This has been weighing super-heavy on my mind... It is an absolute fact that no human lives forever. There is NO WAY of getting around that fact. Eventually, your physical body and your soul will ultimately separate. The question is : What will happen to your eternal soul, after it (YOU) departs from your limited physical body ? Well... the truth is : That ALL depends on how you chose to live your life now ! With that being said...
Life is way too short. After over 4 DECADES of watching this world that GOD created, change for the worse and continually be destroyed by man, I am ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED that no matter what your religion you are or religious preferences you have, we ALL need to strengthen the presence of GOD, by following the teachings of his, our Lord and Savior : Jesus Christ. Together we can put the teachings of the Bible back into society. This world has become so ugly and grim because we increasingly move away from our Biblical roots and teachings in life. It's gotten to the point that I am speaking out on this matter publicly, here on my blog. This world is quickly heading down a dark path. It is so bad now that many churches are corrupt, especially those milti-million dollar mega churches (Purely disgusting to me). I don't care what your race, color or ethnicity is, Jesus is for EVERYONE.
I say this with love and humility. Please set aside just 20-30 minutes a day to read a little scripture of your Bible each day. Turn the TV off. Get away from mass social media and stop watching movies and TV shows filled with sex, violence, killing and drugs. You don't even realize how much it's slowly changing you inside and poisoning your mind and weighing down your internal spirit. Regardless of what religion you are, READ THE "DIRECT WORD" of GOD in your Bible. That's spiritual food that will feed your inner soul to fulfillment forever. Regardless of what you think or what you've heard, Jesus is the "ONLY" way to our heavenly father and paradise forever.
I will make just 1 other suggestion to you. There are many media outlets that you can choose from to gain enlightenment and direction. However, for the past 2+ years, I have personally been following one that I can highly recommend that is Real and True. See for yourself and you tell me... For the DIRECT WORD OF GOD in a fair and balanced way, Checkout a YouTube Channel Called DLM Christian Lifestyle. Please just watch, listen and learn with an open heart and loving spirit. Let me know what you think and how you feel after watching and absorbing pure goodness that's unbiased and untainted. Tell Daniel The Fox sent you. This is something I strongly believe in. I will do whatever I can to save your soul and share the gospel of Jesus Christ with anyone. I'm not perfect, but just like YOU, I'm getting better and stronger with each passing day I eat more spiritual food to feed my soul...

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...

Fox 3.0
This update has been a long time in coming. Hell, I almost forgot about it. As a reminder of where I left off from "FOX 2.5"(Many Years Ago), Here is a link just to show you how long it's been...
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 :

5. I am a widower, and blazing a whole new path in my life.
6. Building a home gym and getting back in shape.
7. 99% of all toxic people have been removed from my life. I'm free of their madness.

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.
