Welcome Home.
Business is booming, and it is interesting that this usually happens during a time when I’m considering taking a break, so I’m sure that there must be a connection between the parts of the equation that needs to be assessed.

This entry is primarily directed towards the fellas, yet there may be some of the female gender who will find it useful as well.

Note to the fellas.

I am usually addressing the ladies, because well, it is a habit that I picked up in elementary school when I first learned how to write, which appears to have been for the specific task of being able to pass notes to the girls at my school.

Yet and still, dont get it confused, as I still had to handle my business on the playground, as well as conduct and regulate the trade activities at the lunch tables, bike racks,bus stops, and around, behind, and in between school buildings, during lunch, recess, after school, and even inside of the classroom.

With that said, I notice that I really have been going back to the 80′s quite a bit, and I am thankful that YouTube provides the ability to rewind back to a prior time whenever I see fit.

Since it really is different strokes for different folks as I often say, I decided to go ahead and prove it by featuring one of my favorite episodes of one of my favorite 80′s shows with the same name.

This clip is provided by the minisode network, and it is , in my opinion , one of the most ingenious ideas that I have seen for New Media, as YouTube has always had a standard 10 minute viewing time limit for uploaded features, and since the busiest of us do tend to be pressed for time, the episodes are all abbreviated to under 10 minutes in order for you to catch it on the fly when you have a few minutes to spare.

I will let the episode do what it does, and simply say that it is always the thought that really counts, and perhaps it will help you to overcome some obstacles that have you feeling like you are being bullied by it, or them.

A different perspective to consider.

( A online view from my perspective)

I decided to go ahead and knock this one out the park before I head out, as the numbers are showing that its about that time.

Over the years, one of the things that I find most interesting and actually quite amusing, is when some individuals, especially certain females that I know, have said that they just know that this whole PimpHop.com is something more than it appears to be, like there is some deeper meaning behind it all, and they continuously search for it, but cant quite get to the bottom of it.

My response is always the same which is,

“Ok, if you say so.”

Is that assesment accurate?
What I do know is as follows.

When I come the the Internet, I notice two basic points of interest.

A. There are close to around 50 eleven million people with personal online profiles, and for the most part on social networking sites, a majority of the ladies like to take pictures and have their pictures looked at and admired and their voices heard by others in the same space.

B. Girls like to hang out V.I.P. status on the town, or simply enjoy a good time outdoors or in the house, and still again, like to take pictures while having fun, and share the images with others.

Can you guess what I said to myself one day a few years back in 2002 when this all got started?

You are correct!
I said,

“why not just create an establishment and publication that serves both of those needs ?”

Next, its  1,2,3 presto, and what you see is what you get.
Its simple and easy!

As far as the other stuff, it really is just all pieces of one whole, because well, we do communicate with others, which creates and shapes relationships, and everyone has eyes, and we all usually like to look good in an attempt to feel good, so you have some fashion and automobiles and gadgets, and other things that fall in line with the basic fundamental of functionality for life on Planet Earth..

I believe that anything else is simply what other people add, and I seem to intuitively pick up on it, and add it to the menu, so the whole mystique element is actually something that you as the viewer creates along with me. as we tend to get bored with the same old stuff done over and over all the time (redundant), so I just make things exiting and new, like

The Love Boat.

Truth be told, its all just some thoughts and ideas, if you really wanna know the skinny!

With that said, I sometime have this interesting , dreamlike feeling that each and every, or perhaps the majority of attractive women on the Internet, post pictures for the specific purpose of  having me looking at them and offering my opinion. Im speaking of myself, as in me in particular and as strange and self centered as it may sound, it turns out to really be true on my occasions, yet the challenge at this point is that there really are sooo many to look at and listen to ( saturation) and so little time and space.

It has become out of proportion due to the amount of profiles on social networking sites, and well, we all need to be productive with our time  in order to earn some income as attention for the sake of attention only, does not seem to cover costs and pay the bills.

This ( a solution) is what the focus will be on for the next few days when I am out as well as online. I have a few highly talented photographer friends that  have worked with us over the years who are still waiting on me to figure it all out as that tends to be one of my strong points.  We actually used to be continuously active in the streets, literally,

making it happen on a regular basis.

That was then, and this is now, and of course I am aware that people have been saying that we need to update the models gallery for years now, yet between us as friends, I just dont feel very pimpish unless I am the one innovating as opposed to immitating and besides, it has been shown and proven that some of the models that are currently featured have withstood the test of time and have increased in value, so I trust my gut regardless of the opinions of others, as much of a challenge as it is at times.
Even online, it aint easy, yet it always gets done.

I’m on my way out the door, so stay tuned and lets all think about what is really required in order to be and stay enthused and inspired.

TGIM (Thank God Its Monday) and the show is still on going and growing.
As I stated in an earlier post, I believe that we all have some pieces of the puzzle missing, and the best way to reach a state of puzzle completion is through working together.

What I am noticing, is that in actuality, one of the purposes served for me by posting entries here at PimpHop.com is to make this mechanism my work bench or drawing board of sorts, and these posts are simply my reps and sets.

Mondays are usually the day where I really analyze goals for the week and month and asses my progress from prior weeks, which is known as benchmarking.

What I have come to the full conclusion of, is something that I myself even have a reluctance to face because it is perplexing.

It really seems like for the most part, 95% of the individuals that I met as of late are not really looking to excel and go anywhere in life, for lack of a better phrase, and it is so common, that it just appears to be the New Normal, and anything else is thought to be somewhat unrealistic as far as expectations go. I have been pondering on what is causing the slight belly ache that I feel when I log on to the Internet for a few years now, and I have concluded that it really is the abundance of despair , hopelessness, and mediocrity that I can sense through the words and actions of individuals in my line of sight

It is a perplexing situation because most individuals who fall into this category are usually in some form of a comfort zone, living check to check earning just enough to pay bills and consume when time allows, which is usually on nights and weekends. You then have the scenario that says that some employers actually allow their workers to spend time on social networking websites, on non company related issues, and I have heard that this usage is rampant even when NOT authorized as personal mobile devices allow individuals to connect to each other on the web.

I was under the impression that the simple solution would be to go into the world where people are actually in a sense more active, to see a better chance of encountering individuals who are interested in moving forward and making progress, and that is when I experience an even more alarming trend.

In actuality, it appears to be the same story with individuals who are out and about in the world, as even those individuals are still on the web with mobile devices, twittering, myspacing, and facebooking away as these trend have become actual verbs that are easily understood by most of the younger residents in California and elsewhere.

As always, I recognize that it really is different strokes for different folks, and each is free to decide what to do with their own time, yet calling it like i see it, wasting time being under or non productive and overly consumptive has appeared to have become the standard, although I often look really hard to discredit my own intuitive belief.

At the end of the day regardless, what we sow is what we reap, and when the results show, I notice much complaining being done by individuals who are in fact making the choices and taking the actions which lead to these results.

As an example, I will bring you into my office, and allow you to view a fairly common style of email response from a young lady, whose name I will keep anonymous.

I’m sorry hon, it sounds like a great opportunity, but I’m afraid i don’t have the time, I’m soo consumed by work, and doing a lot of home improvements, I wont have the time.. I’m sorry hon..

Before you jump to conclusions, I actually selected this note for a good reason , as she is in fact a successful and active personality with a good attitude, and it is simply to show that the just move on to the next theory is non valid, as I am actually sometimes overly selective of who I even address in the first place, and if the serious and sound people are giving this type of response, which theyoften do as of late,  it requires me to have to search for a suitable solution.

We also have the just not worth the time theory, and I am an honest enough person to admit if it was the truth, yet between us as friends, another reason for posting these entries, is to simply prove to my own self the effectiveness of my methods, as with this one post, I can guarantee that more will be accomplished in 1 hour than in 3 days of using the typical methods, with even less work and even greater accuracy and returns.

Of course we have the typical popular name theory, and it often plays a part through the familiarity factor, yet my logic says that whether popular or not, if  whatever it is yielding non sufficient results, it really does not matter, unless one is only interested in associating with the popular in an attempt to become popular  in congruence with what everyone else is doing, also known as blending in. the last time i checked, the poupular and standard way or thing is exactly what is leading to poor results across the board for the most part.

My favorite is the one that I often hear in response to what I say after I learn what an individual is interested in and in search of,, which usually translates to

Yeah, you’re right, that is what I would LIKE to be doing, but that isnt what I AM doing.

What actually prevents a person from switching their doing to something more  likeable one as opposed to just talking about it has always been a mystery to me, and is probably just a by product of a person being human, which we all are, right????
This is just me thinking out loud, so I always rest assured knowing that every problem has a solution, and I am searching or even creating one in the process.

What I am envisioning is in fact a winners circle, created for those select few individuals who demonstrate what I classify as excellence and correct thinking and doing, as many popular publications follow the same standards, such as Forbes,People, Time or G.Q. Magazines.

Again, I’m just working things out, so lets see what happens next because as the rules clearly state, regardless of rain sleet, snow, or slack,
The Show Must Go On!

A different perspective to consider.

Here’s To GOOD HEALTH.
