“Self-acceptance comes from meeting life’s challenges vigorously. Don’t numb yourself to your trials and difficulties, nor build mental walls to exclude pain from your life. You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory.”

Ulysse Nardin Genghis Khan Wristwatch exudes a powerful presence

Watches with a historic epic theme are always fascinating for the watch connoisseurs that have a keen eye for it. Thank god I am one of these people,the Ulysse Nardin Genghis Khan Wristwatch is a watch that aroused my interest the moment I set my eyes on it(Pause). They will now be offered in several distinctive haute joaillerie interpretations which are a quintessence of jewelry and high watch-making fireworks. Among the several models is a white gold model with black baguette diamonds on its bezel, lugs, and a dial flange presents the most contemporary and eye catching impression of the automated Mongol warriors’ spar where the carillon minute repeater is activated. The other model is the white gold Genghis Khan Haute Joaillerie watch that features well over five carats of baguette diamonds and stones set skillfully set into the bezel, lugs, and the concave bezel flange. Diamond and bling are not the only spectacular features of the watch, the other attributes that set the watch apart are the tourbillion, the delightful gold automations, and the minute repeater with Westminster chime.

Maven Moment: That Bullshit!!!

Last night after eating one of the best Easter Sunday dinners that I have ever had in my 26 years on this earth my tooth began to hurt. I really didn't think nothing of it because like all of us it happens sometimes. But nah, this particular tooth was on a mission to shut the rest of my night down. And to tell you all the truth it really did. I broke out with a mean sweat and a vicious headache that had me up all night and damn near in tears( I know not really manly right but fuck it!). Some how I fell asleep around 12am while my woman was downstairs handling some business. I thought after taking some pain meds I would be cool in the morning, morning in my mind meant 8:15ish. But the tooth decided that 4am was a good time for me to get up and suffer. So I was really mad and my head started pounding again and that was that.

Around 9 my woman made me a much needed appointment at the dentist and I got dressed and rushed over there. After 10mins of filling out paper work and hearing little kids crying and grown men cussing, I walk back to the chair to take my few x-rays. After another 10mins the dentist comes out and gives me the good news "You need a Root canal or I can pull it for you"!! I'm like WTF, it was just a toothache and a mean headache and now I need this expensive ass procedure done or this pain is never going away. Damn, stay focused G!! So I sit there and talk to him about the pro's and con's of the procedure and what not. Then the lady at the front desk comes back and shows me how much it cost's for both. Check this shit out, it costs $1,867 for the Root canal and $265 to get the tooth pulled!!! Once again I'm like WTF at the price, damn ain't it a recession out here why the hell does it still cost so much? This office has flat screen tvs in front of every chair, they sure don't need all this money from me right?! Wrong they are working hard to get it from me. SO now as I write this post I'm trying to figure out what to do next. The sad thing about it is that I don't have a choice, I'm going to have to get that damn Root Canal!! I thought being a Maven was about being stylish and fly at all times, no one ever said that your teeth could mess up and destroy your week!! Damn now that's $1,867 that could go to a new suit or a bunch of other stuff. DAMN!!!

Some Truth!!!

So I'm over my lady friends house and I helping her kids color Easter eggs after a morning of family prayer and I start to ask myself "do people think that this day is about a bunny and punk ass eggs?". Those who know already act accordingly and for those who don't lets break it down a little. So here it is a brief understanding of the name Easter in the non religious form.

Easter is named for a Saxon goddess who was known by the names of Oestre or Eastre, and in Germany by the name of Ostara. She is a goddess of the dawn and the spring, and her name derives from words for dawn, the shining light arising from the east. Our words for the "female hormone"estrogen derives from her name.

Ostara was, of course, a fertility goddess. Bringing in the end of winter, with the days brighter and growing longer after the vernal equinox, Ostara had a passion for new life. Her presence was felt in the flowering of plants and the birth of babies, both animal and human. The rabbit (well known for its propensity for rapid reproduction) was her sacred animal.

Understand where everything comes from, I don't celebrate "Easter"! Its Resurrection Sunday to me and those who choose to look beyond what they saw and hear... This is a day to spend with loved ones and to thank Jesus for giving his life for us. For all of you who are not Christians then its a Marketing holiday like Valentines day so spend and help the economy grow. We are still in a RECESSION!!
