Seriously, where is the outcry by PETA on this one.

In British English, “faggot” traditionally means a bundle of sticks and “fag” is common slang for a cigarette or for hard work.  Where as in the advertisement, ”faggots” are a kind of meatball.

Once again, always seek intent over content to define an action!!!

Be sure to pick up the current issue and share your thoughts.  Thanks again to Melody Hoffman who wrote the article…you are truly a shining star in your profession!!!

A successful life is one that’s lived through the understanding & pursuing of one’s own path, not chasing after the dreams of others.

This is what happens when creativity refuses to be limited by the definition of others.  I can understand why most mediocre mindsets would think that I’m bias when it comes to Kanye due to our friendship.  That might be partial true being that I’ve known him for close to 25 years now…but anyone who thinks that’s where my thought process ends clearly doesn’t have any idea of the magnitude of my intellect.  (more…)

Rather in life or business, I find that there are two great offenses…one being to act suddenly without thought and the second is to not act at all…THINK ABOUT IT!!!

I found this picture absolutely hilarious!!!

Fan death is a South Korean urban legend (also found in Japan) which states that an electric fan, if left running overnight in a closed room, can cause the death of those inside (by suffocation, poisoning, or hypothermia).  Fans manufactured and sold in Korea are equipped with a timer switch that turns them off after a set number of minutes, which users are frequently urged to set when going to sleep with a fan on.

This is so widely believed that the press report it as fact: The heat wave which has encompassed Korea for about a week, has generated various heat-related accidents and deaths.  At least 10 people died from the effects of electric fans which can remove oxygen from the air and lower body temperatures [Korea Herald, July 28, 1997]

MORROW, Georgia (CNN) — Jobless for nearly a year, Michael Rivers was about to walk out of his house a few weeks ago to catch the bus for another daylong employment hunt when a radio announcement stopped him.

“This is Ludacris, and I’m giving away 20 free cars. …”

The famous rapper was pulling an Oprah in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia.

The rapper announced that if listeners were able to pay the taxes, registration, tags and insurance, they should go to his nonprofit Ludacris Foundation Web site and write 300 words about why they deserved new wheels.

“And make it good,” Luda warned.

Four thousand people took him up on his challenge, and in a few days, more than 2,000 essays poured into the Nissan South dealership in Morrow, Georgia, that had teamed with the rapper on the used-car giveaway.

Dogs First Tamed in China — To Be Food?
John Roach for National Geographic News

Wolves were domesticated no more than 16,300 years ago in southern China, a new genetic analysis suggests—and it’s possible the canines were tamed to be livestock, not pets, the study author speculates.

“In this region, even today, eating dog is a big cultural thing,” noted study co-author Peter Savolainen, a biologist at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden.

“And you can also see in the historical records as far back as you can go that eating dogs has been very common” in East Asia.

“Therefore, you have to think of the possibility that this was one of the reasons for domesticating dogs.”

I woke up this morning thinking about my dreams and made the decision to do at least five things today towards making them come true.  It seems that my focus is always heighten on holidays when most people aren’t working.  I feel it gives me a mental advantage.

Since my first business venture in 1995, I’ve always looked at holiday as an interruption into my work week.  One lesson that my journey has taught me for sure is that nothing will be handed to me.

It just really comes down to who wants it the most AND is willing to out work everyone else in order to get it.  Trust me when in tell you my fellow thinkers, there are no days off when chasing YOUR DREAMS!

I’ve met plenty of extremely talented people in my day who unfortunately aren’t willing to put in the work to become successful in life…and I define “successful in life” as simply living out YOUR DREAMS!

I often wonder if having a successful life is meant for everyone or just a chosen few…what do you think?

NOTE: I purposely didn’t reveal what my five things are because the intent is for you to find your own things to do that will help you towards living out YOUR DREAMS!!!
