Pharrell is definitely LIVING LAVSH: manifesting ones full potential attracting life’s bliss.

Guccio Gucci (1881-1953) and his wife, Aida, opened their 1st store in Florence following a number of years in London. Their son, Aldo, later built the Gucci brand into a global snob-appeal powerhouse. In 2000 Sara Gay Forden authored “The House of Gucci.”
Barney Pressman pawned his wife’s wedding ring for $500.00 in NYC to lease a Seventh Ave. store selling discounted men’s suits. In 1993 Barney’s opened a $270 million Madison Ave. showcase store.
A ‘No’ uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a ‘Yes’ merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.


If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.


Every closed eye is not sleeping, and every open eye is not seeing.
So, I pretty much make a trip to La every week now or at least every other week. This time I was there to celebrate my homie Key’s birthday on 4/19/09 at My House. Then on Wednesday and Friday my boy Arenbe of Beautiful Musik(http://www.myspace.com/beautifulmusik) met me up and we went to meet up Big Sean who’s signed to Good Music for his mixtape release party/meet and greet signing.
