Hennessy Black : Part 2

This is Part 2 of the Hennessy Black Done Different Influencer campaign in Phoenix. Of course I was hosting and the Influencer was Dre, who promotes at this venue(PHX) and a few other spots around the city. As you can see, we really got it in and shut down the whole spot! I wish they had the sparklers that I asked for, it would have been a great visual. I had a great time and I'm sure Dre had a great one to. Everyone should be looking forward for my next Hennessy Black activation (Corp. Marketing vinactular). Its going to be crazy, I think it will be at OT's or Suede not sure yet I need to look at my schedule.

Positive beginning

Would you spend your hard-earned money buying things you
didn’t want or need? Of course not.

So why would you spend any of your precious and powerful
thoughts on things you don’t want? It makes much more sense
to focus your thoughts on the positive, desirable things you
would like to create and expand upon.

The thoughts with which you choose to fill your mind have a
direct influence on the people, things, and events that
surround your life. Every moment, with each thought, you
have the opportunity to point your life in a specific
direction.

The way you think about life plays a major role in the way
your life unfolds. Again and again, choose those thoughts
that resonate with a life that’s rich, joyous and fulfilled.

You think thousands of thoughts each day. Use the
opportunity of each thought to push you toward the precise
life you wish to create for yourself.

Everything in your world begins with a thought. So use your
thoughts to give everything a powerful, positive beginning.

New Prosperity

Wake up, open your eyes and look around you. Opportunity is everywhere.

There is plenty of work to be done. And there are all sorts of effective, fulfilling ways to do it.

The world is alive with all kinds of challenges. Pick a particularly difficult and meaningful one, creatively work your way through it, and bring new prosperity to yourself and others.

Jump into the real-life adventure that sparkles beneath the rising sun each morning. A new day filled with richness is ready to be lived.

Fortune favors those who choose to see it coming. Prosperity belongs to those who work to bring it to life.

Report for duty in the service of your highest vision. This is when life gets good.

Understand!!

Seek not only to know, but also to understand. In a world that is awash in information, true understanding remains a rare and precious treasure.

The knowledge and information you collect is indeed valuable. The understanding you refine from that knowledge can be priceless.

Information tells you what has happened. Understanding enables you to know what will come as a result.

Understanding gives you a clear picture of opportunities that others cannot even glimpse. The effort you put into understanding brings great value to your life and your world.

Listen, learn, question, experience, think and understand. Do the work that turns ordinary facts into wisdom.

Have the courage and discipline to think for yourself. And out of the raw information will come real understanding.

Purple Label Tortoise Aviators: A MUST HAVE!!

Another pair of Dope frames by Ralph Lauren's top of the line Purple Label brand. They take the average wire-rimmed Aviator and refines it with tortoishell edging around the frame, nosebar, and temples! If your into designer frames like me then these are a must have!

Tell Yourself

What are you telling yourself that’s holding you back? What
are you telling yourself that’s preventing you from being
happy?

What are you telling yourself that gives you permission to
be less than your very best? What are you telling yourself
that gives you an excuse for not taking action.

Every moment of every day you’re interpreting the world for
yourself, telling yourself what it means and what to do
about it. Each time you tell yourself something, you have an
opportunity to make a lasting impact on your life.

So tell yourself yes. Remind yourself why you have chosen to
step forward and give yourself permission to do so.

Tell yourself that you can choose a life of joy and
fulfillment right now. Tell yourself that you’re fully
capable of whatever you decide to achieve.

Take the opportunity to tell yourself, again and again, how
truly outstanding your life can be. And then thank yourself
for the great advice as you enthusiastically bring it to
life.

The Truth On How Drugs Became Illegal

This was on the History Channel the other day. The name of the program is "Illegal Drugs And How They Got That Way". It was a very interesting program, I have seen this already but I wanted to watch again to see if they had changed anything. They didn't so this is the short of it, around 80 years ago it was common for people to use cocaine regurlarly, and legally. Slave masters would give cocaine to slaves and workers so that they wouldn't get tired as easy. Word started to spread to the north that "Drug crazed negroes" were attacking their white masters, and the drug (and all intoxicants) were declared illegal for all minorities. Watch it and tell me what you think.

Breitling Raven Special Edition!

Dita Challenger Sunglasses

The Challenger looks to have taken some inspiration from last year's collaboration with Cazal on the 902 re-release. The Challenger design is a much more streamlined approach while keeping with Dita's big and bold aesthetic

The New Grand Bentley, Or At Least The Front Of It!

Just in case all of you didn't know Bentley's current flagship, the Arnage is the last vestige of old Bentley prior to becoming part of the Volkswagen Group. The luxury automaker is currently in the process of building the 150 final series Arnage models and getting ready to launch a replacement.

That car now dubbed the new Grand Bentley still remains very much a mystery, but the folks in Crewe have released the first teaser image and video of the new car. At this point all we know is that it will bear the famed winged B hood ornament. Bentley will be the featured marque at this year's Pebble Beach Concours and that is expected to to be the site of the Grand Bentley's debut. In the meantime check out the special site for the car at http://www.newgrandbentley.com.

Active Role

There is a very small gap that can separate you from the
fulfillment of your dreams. Fortunately, that
gap is entirely of your own making and you have what it
takes to get across it.

Life’s abundance swirls around you in every moment, and it
seems close enough to touch. The possibilities just keep on
coming, day after day, filled with the promise of
fulfillment.

Yet to live that abundance, and to make the best of those
possibilities real, you must take an active role. Life can
be anything you make of it, yet you must be the one who
makes it happen.

The way to bridge the gap, and to bring your dreams to life,
is to act on them. Take positive, productive, effective
action every opportunity you get, day after day and year
after year.

Take an active role in your own life. Shape it
and build it and enjoy the process of fine-tuning every
aspect of it so that you’re living precisely the life that’s
right for you.

Take full responsibility for all that you experience. And
what you experience will be truly meaningful.

Your Choice !!!

You can resent the amount of work you have to do. Or you can
get busy and use it as an opportunity to create great value.

You can see each setback as a fatal blow to the achievement
of your dream. Or you can learn from all the ups and the
downs and make the achievement of your dream all the more
valuable as a result of each challenge.

You can pounce upon each bit of bad news and extrapolate it
to portend the end of the world. Or you can celebrate the
fact that bad news is news only because it is so relatively
rare.

You can sit and wait and complain and convince yourself that
things will never get better. Or you can enthusiastically
jump forward and make life the best it can be.

Whatever the situation, whoever is involved, you always have
a choice. Choose each time to express the authentic beauty
of your being, and live in a world where life is so very
good.

So I can get behind the wheel of a Veyron for $25,500 a day?

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is one magnificent wheeled missile most of us dream to own, but only a few are able to, considering the cost of ownership and the availability. If you couldn’t manage to own one, why not hire one to make that bold impression? A Berkshire-based leasing company called Holders Vehicle Contracts is offering for hire the most powerful, most expensive, and fastest street-legal production car in the world. At £16,000 (approx. $25,500) a day, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is an ultimate holiday rental, but you also need to submit £100,000 as a deposit. Superior in every sense, the Bugatti Veyron supercar has already earned itself a name in car history as an undisputed classic. My question for all of you is, if you had the cash on hand would you rent this car??

THE Code X: Vicious Machine On The High Sea's!

In the world of luxury motor yachts there has, until recently, been little that one could call truly modern in design. Apart from the bravely angular and architectural Wally boats, the design literate billionaire had little choice to match their Zaha Hadid summer house, Alfred Haeberli lounge chair or Bang & Olufsen home cinema equipment.

Step forward Swiss company Code X. Their 47′ 7” catamaran has a daringly minimalist and mean origami-meets-Tie-fighter look to it and matches avant garde styling with equally cutting edge technology.

Depending on one’s mood the Code X can either be thrust along at a brisk 80 knots by twin Ilmor formula one engines, delivering a hefty 710hp a piece, or at a more leisurely 9 knots by the twin electric motors. These can provide up to two hours of service when running off the lithium batteries and when they run dry there is also the option of continuing for an unlimited period using power generated by the catamaran’s on-board solar panels.

As if the choice of power sources wasn’t enough the Bond-villain factor is upped even more by details such as touch screen control and a GPS-controlled ‘virtual anchor’ system that utilises the electric motors to maintain a stationary position regardless of wind or currents.

Code X is based in Meggen on the shores of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland

Dita Sun Spring/Summer 09

Complementing the optical frames we showed you last week, Dita's latest sunglasses completes the Spring/Summer 09 collection.

Feel the way you choose

Whatever you feel on the inside, you will experience on the outside. Life reflects back to you the way you most sincerely and persistently are.

When you’re having a joyful day it’s because you’ve decided to do so. The world you see is directly related to the world you intend to see.

From nothing, in an instant, you can create joy. Where there was none before, you can express love.

Do you realize the power in your ability to feel the way you choose to feel? With that power you can change the world.

You’re extraordinarily skilled at changing your feelings, and you’ve had much experience at doing so.

Feel the beauty of this moment, and watch as that feeling manifests in the world around you.

This is your moment to live more fully than you’ve ever lived. Feel the possibilities, and bring them to life.

Cole Haan Ostrich Tote For The Ladies

Cole Haan handbags have been a longtime favorite of mine. Especially after having a good friend who happened to work there for a year. I gained intimate knowledge on their line, construction and craftsmanship. Of their entire collection, the Cole Haan Collection line encompasses their most impressive, sophisticated and fashion forward handbags, shoes, coats and accessories. Featured here is their Ostrich Tote. It has a simple silhouette (Yes I do speak in fashion terms from time to time) yet the exotic leather and punchy orange color adds an air of uniqueness that makes you look twice. It features double leather handles, very minimal gold accents, interior pockets and suede lining.
