(Editors Note – March 01, 2010)
Two months done, and ten months left until 2011.
I will be reposting some of our most valuable content for the month
of March 2010, to confirm that relevant news remains eternally valid.

This particular entry is part of a four part series known as
Money Matters, and I invite you as a valued reader to reflect on two key elements.
A. Forward motion
B.  Positive emotions.

Time reveals ALL things, and when it comes to
The “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” Movement, what you see, really is what you get.
On With The Show!

(End Note)

Welcome Home.
The numbers and signs are showing that once again, whatever this thing called PimpHop.com really is , it is something that is in great demand, so to show our appreciation for your interest, I will continue the process adding to and increasing the bennifits that you recieve from making the wise decision to tune in to the show. Its good old fashioned team work, which is said to make the dream work.

This entry is the final installment of the Money Matters series which feature a few edcutational videos by Bob Proctor along with some of my own personal commentary.

To review the previous entries, simply click the following link
Money Matters

Saving the best for last, the key point of emphasis for this last video relates to the fact that every single thing here at PimpHop.com happens for a sound and logical reason, so I invite you to focus in on the factors which lead to the featuring of song from a happy young lady by the name of Michelle, singing what I believe to be my favorite song in the year 2009 entitled

Money Money Loves Me.

In the continuance of our mission, you have the opportunity to discover why things flow in this fashion and perhaps you as a young woman maybe willing and able to become initiated into the mysteries of the orders of operation that you are witnessing.

In closing, my stance on current world issues is actually quite simple. I hold the age old adage that people make the world go round as an actual fact, therefore, the condition of ALL THINGS in the world, including but not limited to economics and health care, are directly related to the condition of the citizens of the world, so we are simply doing our part to add to the condition of wellness, and offer those who may wish to partke of the opportunity to do as we do.
Put in another way, I fully believe in  what I have been blessed to have heard.

Your HEALTH is your WEALTH!

A different perspective to consider.

Here’s To GOOD HEALTH.

Results - Mission Accomplished!

As you already may know, these entries are actually mental notes for myself that are made available to others who may find them useful. The construction of this building is beginning to take shape and since the last day of the month is here, it is best to close out on a solid basis, in order to move forward with the same momentum

The title of this post has been in the works for a few years now, awaiting the appropriate time to be unveiled. From my thorough analysis of what is really going on beneath the surface, I have settled on the fact that most of what it is that I am seeing on the Internet is tied in to the root fundamental human concept known as The Ego.

For those more familiar with the concept, there has been a large amount of discussion and debate in philosophical circles regarding the pros and cons of the human ego since ancient times, yet I at this point will set a new challenge for myself to go where most will most likely not, based on my own analysis and experiences.

Through observing the popular social network micro blogging website known as Twitter, I seem to notice an interesting pattern in which a majority of individuals always are sure to have a greater amount of followers, and a lesser number of people that they follow, and when I fall into my usual habit of asking about the reasons why, the answer that I am left with is simply
THE EGO.

It seems that the root cause of it all, and the latest trend in social networking in all forms, whether status notice responses and image displays, stems from individuals with the desire to feel important and recognized by others, which has led to some form of a global competition to see who can gain the most respect and admiration from the group, yet I would calculate it to be a lost battle for any who chooses to compete in the first place, as it is based on a desire to receive as opposed to giving, and if each and every individual in the competition is out to gain respect, it will no longer leave any with the ability to offer it.

Of course, this is a tremendous challenge for me an anyone to behave in a different manner as I believe that we are all socialized from an early age to seek admiration and praise from the group, beginning in elementary school in which the teacher rewards the behaviors of children who act in accordance with the teachers and authorities definition of ideal behavior, and it leads to a continuing competition to see who can gain the most popularity and notoriety, also known as respect.

It also shows to be considered a punishment to think and act outside of the ideal definition of appropriate behavior, with consequences and repercussions for such a stance, yet as I reflect on my own childhood experiences, I can simply say the the repercussion is shown to have caused me to tune out the conditioning that the other kids were receiving and form my own program while I had the time.

For whatever reason as a child, I wondered who and what gives any human the ability to decide what is appropriate behavior for another and have that standard adhered to by many without question, and why humans are so dependent on others for their acceptance.

Now as a grown up, I see it unfolding leaving me to ask the question

Why do we often hunger so much to be liked or avoid being disliked by others?

My stance is that these tendencies are actually a reversal of what is actually healthy, which is to have your very own independent opinion of yourself as the core foundation of your self estimate, so since I practice what I preach, and walk what I talk, I will simply close out the month of February with a blast from the past, which is a standard of life that I will use in my approach in the future.

Wish me luck.

Kate Moss - YSL Manifesto - 2008

Welcome Home.
What is most interesting about this post is that while a manifesto is prime time for getting deep and philosophical, this will be something simple and to the point.

The image above is from a Google image search on the term manifesto,
and this particular image stood out as something unexpected, which is correspondent with that which I was pondering on.

While studying other manifestos of different varieties, which is said to be necessary when communicating a cause, I noticed that most of them tend to be long winded and loaded with strong language, yet they also tend to result in some form of violent and destructive behavior, so since I am headed in the opposite direction, for those who care to know, the official
PimpHop.com Manifesto is as follows.

Create an enjoyable life experience for SELF, and share with OTHERS who truly believe themselves to be deserving of such an experience.

Keep Your Eye On The Prize!

Welcome Home.
Today, I decided to share some insight that I received from my daily insight news feed with our beloved viewers.

Once again, I think different, and believe it will show to be the key ingredient necessary in making a difference and I do notice that those who have made a difference seem to subscribe to the same belief, and since the things that all human beings have in common are,

A.24 hours under the sun per day,
B.A mind to think with and body to move with,

success could actually be as simple as using your time, mind and body in a way similar to those who have achieved success, so since this is a media company, focused on empowerment, who better than Oprah to draw insight from, as the record reflects that the first ever African American President and current Nobel Peace Prize Winner was in large part elected, due to Oprah’s conversation skills, so peep game if you will.

Dear RB,

“If you look at what you have in life, you’ll always have more. If you look at what you don’t have in life, you’ll never have enough.”

Oprah Winfrey
Television Host, Producer, and Philanthropist

That’s whats up, so let the record reflect that the new dictionary definition of the word OWN is a cable television channel known as Oprah Winfrey Network coming soon to a screen near you, and as the saying goes…

On with the show

Greetings Earthlings.
Before I begin today’s discussion, I have recently been asked about the reasons why I sometimes open up with a greeting addressed to Earthlings as if I am not one of them and perhaps have lost my mind.

Its really a case of gaining my mind as I believe that being out of touch with reality is a good thing if reality according to what another believes, is bleak and dismal.

It would seem as if in order for me to assist others to gain a more enjoyable state of existence, I would need to create one for myself first in order to offer it to others, and I do so by simply thinking and acting accordingly, so call it a reap what you sow style app, compliments of yours truly.

I am in a bit of a philosophical mood for today’s Tuesday Newsday, as it is a bit of a gray one here in So Cal,so I decided to just share my thoughts and make it a good and productive use of time.

As usual, it is simple.
My day usually begins with ideas about how exactly to best be of service and continue the course of developing a quality web destination that you enjoy visiting, so I am always looking and the hows and whys regarding what I see on the Internet and in the world at large, which again, are slowly becoming

one and the same.

On the social network curcuit, it could simply be a matter of my own tendencies, yet and still, what I see is a typical routine in which females, and some males as well uploading pictures to be viewed and commented on, and just like a weirdo, although it is the new normal, I ask about the reasons why, as things need to have an objective for me to see how I can make things work better.

All I can say if I had to put it together, is that other people opinions matter to most people, so I then ask about the reasons why, and to what extenet.

Technically speaking, the opinions of others can and do only matter as much to an individual as they choose to make them matter, yet since we are not all technical in our thinking, I decided to open it up for discussion, in hopes of encouraging you to find your own questions as the one thing that no one can argue about with you is in regards to what you think and how you feel, as those two elements actually comprise that interesting concept known as
The Truth.

I have been told before that it is a woman thing, and I probably will never really get it, and that for the most part is probably correct, yet I can and do observe the causes and effects, and since showbiz is the name of the game around these parts, it requires that I peep game on a more in depth level.

Since I have been exposed to different cultures around the globe, I can say for certain that beauty and appearance tend to be the primary order of business in America which could have disastrous effects on the self esteem of people who place a high value on the opinion of others.

I could see how it can simply be a part of natural order and mate selection which is why western society places such a high value on the appearances of people, yet ever since I was a kid, I have wondered where the standards come from, which may explain why I am entering this content into a box on an online magazine at this very moment.

So what makes a person believe and feel that they are ugly, pretty, fat, skinny, sexy, repulsive, and all the other associated outward characteristics? Is it their own opinion of themselves or the opinion of others in comparison to others that shape their self image?

Another benefit of being from outer space is in my unique perception of things, which causes me to question why these magazine are always visible in a place that a human being is guaranteed to frequent, which is the check out line at a grocery store.

It could be a special mission for me in Hollywood, since for whatever reason, all I really see the media as is some words and pictures on paper or a computer or television screen.

Regardless, it actually is only what you interpret it to be which is why different people see the same exact thing in different ways, like you may think Angelina is a cold piece, as do I, yet Angelina thinks that African and Asian children are beautiful as standards go, and actually has a few to keep her company while showing the world what pretty looks like and earning a nice size slice of the American Pie in the process.

In the end, again, this is just to open up a discussion to gain a greater understanding so that I can use my powers to make things better.

You have powers to use as well, and you activated them as soon as you decided to tune in, so the question again is as follows.

Other Peoples Opinions- How Much Do They Matter?

As for me, they matter a little something as I do liked to be liked on the human side by women

yet the other side that rules, is my own opinion of myself first and foremost, which just elevated due to me watching my fingers create a post within forty minutes that may very well help someone or many avoid destruction and gain enlightenment just through encouraging a self inquiry.

Works for me, and might could work for you too.
Either way, its still my thing to do, which is to say to you,
On with the show.
