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...

Love Always in Your Life,

Follow Jesus Christ, you will NEVER GO WRONG.

I'm Thinking....small !

I'm thinking "small" in 2017. Tiny to be exact... I have been looking into Tiny Homes for quite a few years now. After much research and personal evaluation, I'm finally ready to take the BIG plunge and go tiny...

Recently, I attended a Tiny House show in Kissimmee, Florida. Instead of just researching on the internet and watching it on TV, I actually got out to see them in person. I went inside of everyone one of them. There were many different designs and sizes. Believe it or not, Tiny Homes sometimes aren't so Tiny ! That is actually a very good thing. Especially when it comes to local permit and zoning laws. I just can't understand why close-minded, prejudice governments want to make it so hard for people to live the way THEY WANT TOO.

In my opinion, it's the best thing to do in this day and age. I mean after all, We as human beings need to start scaling back the imprint, damage and waste that we have imposed here on our planet. Mother Earth has given so much to us, we need to start giving back to our earth and environment. There is also another side to this. The financial and quality of life impact.

I have lived in Condo's, Apartments, Houses and even in Motels (sadly). It was all SUPER EXPENSIVE, Grossly over priced and NOT worth the hype that the bricks were built on. The ones that had bricks anyway, lol. The fact is that we have ALL been living way beyond our means. It's time we STOP... Come to our senses and realize that we are killing ourselves and our planet in the process. Who are we fooling anyway ? Do we really need such large spaces ? Do we need such expensive ways of life ? Do we need to sacrifice our families and ways of life just to work all those endless hours for pennies ? And for what ? To make these BIG Corporations richer than what they already are ! No thanks... I'm using the common sense of my elders and I'm now scaling back and even saving money (and my impact on our planet too).

I'm now preparing the design plans to build my own Tiny House. After seeing them in person at the recent TH show in Heritage Park in Kissimmee, FL., I know EXACTLY how I want mine build and modeled. I will be doing more TH Blogs and LIVE Videos soon. For now... As of the date and writing of this blog entry... This marks the beginning of my own journey to go Tiny and reduce my impact on our planet as well as my wallet. Time to start the process of flushing all those bills right down the toilet and start investing in : MYSELF !

Oh and by the way... Here are a few photos from my recent trip to The Kissimmee, FL Tiny House Show. It was a Super Fun day and a seriously cool experience !
