What is style?


Recently I took some time off to share my time with the most important person I know ( which will remain in anonymity). I maintained a sane level of discussion with this person. My intent to engage in this conversation, was primed from a deep need to learn more about the possibilities of life. The lessons that can be learned and then shared to benefit others and more importantly one self.

For long the answers to what I am about to engage you the reader on, is highly probable, if you desire to obtain that next level of living. Far beyond what you thought to be possible is now more than ever within reach. Others will benefit from the gift that you posses and can offer with each visit and meeting. However first you must accepts that which you are, then find ways to enhance that by strategic implementation, proper planning, and the willingness to take advice, whether it be critically constructive or friendly

You must ask yourself a several questions that will allow you to begin you new journey.


  • What is it that you need to improve on?

  • Where will you most benefit in life-style?

  • What is stopping you?


  • Once you have the questions answered you will be ready to get out there and make it happen. That one thing you were not getting right for a long time, or never have at all in your life. The good news is, that you can now get out there and do what you have been planning on doing for a long time and that is to have STYLE!

    How you grapple the idea of STYLE IMPLEMENTATION is up to you. However once you achieve the understanding of what STYLE can do for you, you will be able to apply this rhythm to you life. I am not speaking of FADS that FADE. I am speaking of creating a style that fits your rebellion, but in all is conscious of where we are as a society and what you can obtain.

    Remember these principles!

  • It is not about price!
  • It is not about designer brands but style
  • Style can be obtained from such a source as well as other sources!
  • It is not about copying!



  • What you bring can be comprised of varied brands or one alone, but make the choice because it it suitable to you. You need to be able to go to the board room to the dance floor and it work in both venues, with the minor inclusion of a tie or the lack of one.


    It is about the creation of your expression and then this will allow the accent of who you are to shine through the thick cloud of d designer fashion, and weave your own niche, and not be cliche. Nothing worse than a RED CARPET WANNABE, you may think you look cool but, trust me when I tell you, once it hit the carpet, very rare do it make it off the carpet.

    So keep it simple and remember this, if all you will from this. Be yourself, and the rest will follow suit. In the meantime I will keep you informed with what works and form contradiction sake, I will show you what can work off the red carpet, what can work in the board room, club, and on the block.

    Do not wear hikers with a Gucci suite.

    Finally happen upon the opportunity to see this on PBS and I must say that this is a great material. Not only is it true to the nature of who we are as humans, but it is true to all life on this planet. Studies are being done with the primate population that I think is highly relative to the plasticity of the brains overall function in life as a whole. We can take ourselves and the life on this planet to new levels with proper implementation. Once we find harmony in all that exist and the realize the growth that our aging brains can manifest and implement in the future greater possibilities.

    May we all become better. Let your Gift to yourself this coming year, be one to harness the capacity that your minds are much capable of. Invest not only in money, but challenge yourself. The rewards are greater from practicing new things and not sticking to the day to day mundane activities that you have already achieved. Make it you life's work to create challenges for yourself and the ones around you. Therefore in turn the challenge will not only come from withing but from the external.

    God bless!

    Here are the 16 rules I try to live by:


    1. Get and stay out of your comfort zone. I believe that not much happens of any significance when we're in our comfort zone. I hear people say, "But I'm concerned about security." My response to that is simple: "Security is for cadavers."

    2. Never give up. Almost nothing works the first time it's attempted. Just because what you're doing does not seem to be working, doesn't mean it won't work. It just means that it might not work the way you're doing it. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn't have an opportunity.

    3. When you're ready to quit, you're closer than you think. There's an old Chinese saying that I just love, and I believe it is so true. It goes like this: "The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed."

    4. With regard to whatever worries you, not only accept the worst thing that could happen, but make it a point to quantify what the worst thing could be. Very seldom will the worst consequence be anywhere near as bad as a cloud of "undefined consequences." My father would tell me early on, when I was struggling and losing my shirt trying to get Parsons Technology going, "Well, Robert, if it doesn't work, they can't eat you."

    5. Focus on what you want to have happen. Remember that old saying, "As you think, so shall you be."

    6. Take things a day at a time. No matter how difficult your situation is, you can get through it if you don't look too far into the future, and focus on the present moment. You can get through anything one day at a time.

    7. Always be moving forward. Never stop investing. Never stop improving. Never stop doing something new. The moment you stop improving your organization, it starts to die. Make it your goal to be better each and every day, in some small way. Remember the Japanese concept of Kaizen. Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages.

    8. Be quick to decide. Remember what the Union Civil War general, Tecumseh Sherman said: "A good plan violently executed today is far and away better than a perfect plan tomorrow."

    9. Measure everything of significance. I swear this is true. Anything that is measured and watched, improves.

    10. Anything that is not managed will deteriorate. If you want to uncover problems you don't know about, take a few moments and look closely at the areas you haven't examined for a while. I guarantee you problems will be there.

    11. Pay attention to your competitors, but pay more attention to what you're doing. When you look at your competitors, remember that everything looks perfect at a distance. Even the planet Earth, if you get far enough into space, looks like a peaceful place.

    12. Never let anybody push you around. In our society, with our laws and even playing field, you have just as much right to what you're doing as anyone else, provided that what you're doing is legal.

    13. Never expect life to be fair. Life isn't fair. You make your own breaks. You'll be doing good if the only meaning fair has to you, is something that you pay when you get on a bus (i.e., fare).

    14. Solve your own problems. You'll find that by coming up with your own solutions, you'll develop a competitive edge. Masura Ibuka, the co-founder of SONY, said it best: "You never succeed in technology, business, or anything by following the others." There's also an old Asian saying that I remind myself of frequently. It goes like this: "A wise man keeps his own counsel."

    15. Don't take yourself too seriously. Lighten up. Often, at least half of what we accomplish is due to luck. None of us are in control as much as we like to think we are.

    16. There's always a reason to smile. Find it. After all, you're really lucky just to be alive. Life is short. More and more, I agree with my little brother. He always reminds me: "We're not here for a long time; we're here for a good time."

    2007 AMA- Daughtry night

    Daughtry...Who? Daughtry who?
    Show that you can do it if you believe in your own style. He has it, and his band has it.


    And now for our host:



    Jimmy Kimmel has style!
    The host of the show, shows that he has a great sense of humor and impeccable timing and a willingness to go with the show, with out writers.


    I would say that this show was one to not miss, if you have make sure that you catch its highlights when you can. There were some great performances that, will stick with you for some time. Alecia Keys bring back old school Jamaican songs, and the artist of credit. From Shocka Demus and plyers, Benieman, and Junior Reed. Her performance was a montage of her musical influences.

    As you can see in the captured photo, Beyonce was not short of being apart of the show, and one of its top honorees, taking home the international award, coveted by many. Seen here with Jeniffer Nettles who covered the singers song this year and grabbed a CMA for.



    Fergie my lady, grabs Pop/Rock favorite female artist award at the end of the show, she can be seen jamming the show earlier on tonight.
    With Will I am and Nicole Sherzinger taking the stage and performing:



    Avril Lavigne perform, wearing who knows what, and why?!?!?!?, But I must say that she has style, her own and lets get down and boogie. She must be hoping, that those who were let out of rehab for the night, are still under the influence. Maybe they will not notice, she forgot that pushing the envelope in this manner is only good for George Clinton and Bootsie Collins.


    Adam Levine does not disappoint the fans and he keeps is so simple that it is complicated.


    Akon Favorite R&B/Soul artist of the year winner, who is following suit with Kanye West and handing over the trophy to who he thinks is the hardest working person in show biz, T-Pain. Who relunctly reached out for it.


    Rascal Flatts take it home for best country band, duo or group.



    Rhianna and Ne'yo perform tonight. Keeping up the the old gangster swing swagger. Now if Rhianna will exercis her vocals as much as she has with her body. She is looking great and Ne'yo tops it off as always.


    Carrie Underwood take them home, with two nominations and a text vote. And let me add she looks as good as 4 scoops vanilla, toped with hot fudge and multiple cherries.



    Chris Brown Tears apart the stage with a performance that can satisfy any and every visual pallet. Can you see a pattern here, I give it about 1 more year, and he will be walking away with a mantel burden, with someone to polish them for him.


    In full retrospect the show was great and I am sure that there is more to the story stay posted and let me know what you think about the clothes, the style and the people wearing them.

    We miss you Kanye West, and stay strong for your Family and may your mother rest well in peace. Thank you Usher for reminding us that someone in the industry is hurting right now.

    Until them good night and good day.


    Ramain the catalyst and you will make your mark!

    MLS- Houston Dynamo takes the Cup




    Dwayne De Rosario With an unflinching attack of the net, with a great snap header, to bring the lead to the Houston Dynamo. I was not a fan of soccer, with this much excitement within me, until I saw Dwayne De Rosario make that goal. It was pure athleticism.

    The commentators were taken in by his abilities, the crowd went wild, you could turn off your TV and you could hear the roar of the stadium across the country. One Commentator, stated this is something you will come to expect from Dwayne, he is always surprising his opponents. I am ecstatic to see this, and I am now an official fan of Soccer.


    Also he has a MVP hardware, Congratulate the man. Now the Big hardware goes too, drum roll please...The Houston Dynamo!
