Opulence, I Has It.

"No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities."
Christian Nestell Bovee

The Age of the Megalomanaic is upon us (...the world will never be the same). These ad guys are starting to get it right. The Old Spice Guy and the Most Interesting Man In The World have some company. The new DirecTV ads feature Gregor, the nouveau riche Russian tycoon. HE IS BOSS!!! (...he reminds me a lot of myself). "I LIKES THE BEST"!



He has real dogs playing poker and smoking cigars a la C. M. Coolidge for the Brown & Bigelow cigar ads. He has gold everything including television remote control and grapes. The pygmy giraffe is impressive but the Van Gogh behind the couch takes the cake.











My team is almost complete. Let's "JUMP IN IT..."

Hardest Working Man in the Biz... (The 10,000 Hour Rule). JE - This is for you.



"Everyone is born with genius, but most people only keep it a few minutes."
Edgard Varese

Talent, as well as genius, is only relatively and marginally important in the equation of success. As illustrated in a study by Anders Ericsson, hard work is the decisive factor (and lots of it). Ericsson's studies showed that the magic number for greatness was 10,000 hours. After performing a given task for a total of 10,000 hours, one will have achieved a level of expertise in said given task.





It is OFFICIAL... Kanye West has reached and surpassed his requisite 10,000 hours. With not one but two albums due out before the end of the year (Dark Twisted Fantasy & Watch the Throne (which will be free)- a collabo album with Jay-z), Kanye West is truly is a zone (HE'S EVERYWHERE). He recently signed Mos Def to his G.O.O.D. Music label. He produced the best performing single off of Drake's Thank Me Later album (Find Your Love). He is also reported to be guest appearing on the remix of Chris Brown's Deuces. He had a smashing performance at this years MTV VMA's (I LOVED THE RED SUIT WITH THE BLACK DEEP CUT V NECK TEE!!!). And to top it off he's made guest appearances on the Cleveland Show...(need I say more). I hope you're reading this Jerry.



I like Amber Rose (SUE ME!)





You can run but you most certainly can't hide from Mr. West. Friday will never be the same.

P.S.(Jerry... you'll soon learn) every now and then I need to school these dudes.
