I apologize

To my readers out in the blog-sphere, I apologize. Many things has taken place in my life that I have allowed to take precedence, and it has capitalized on my creativity and focus. This is something from this day forward I will not allow to happen, and I will be able to afford the time it takes to get on with my writing and informative duties.

To shed light onto what has happened over the past few months. I have come to terms as to what I want to do and how I want to do it in life. Where I want to take my writing career, and how I need to go about it. Therefore the confusion has caused a greater lack in the work that I have placed within my blog lines.

Speaking with my internal editor, I have been sloppy with the way that I have published my thoughts, ideas, and news opinions. I have not brought to you my true ideas of style; whether it be on fashion, technology, home decor, self improvement, and entertainment icons. There is a duty that I have to you the reader and that is to be open and one hundred percent honest in my approach. I can not be lacking anything and I must provide to you the information and ideas that you seek.

So I ask that you stick with Style Catalyst, as for the new year, it will be a dream realized and someplace you can come to get the ideas and information that you seek, in order to have style, and present yourself to the world in a way that you see fit.

So I say to those that have read this, take these words as a contract to take Style Catalyst to the next level and beyond.

Thank you

Who should you date

Here is a decent rant that I found on the onion, I needed to bring this to the attention of my readers.

Style is indeed what you need to capture the attention of the opposite sex. You have to know were you are at all times and be willing to learn more about her and show her things that she has never seen or is interested in seeing.

Now you have the opportunity to get a piece of the world I observe from the resource itself. Read the entire article and please comment on it.

please note that the following article is for entertainment purposes and takes the approach of fiction to make a point.

European Men Are So Much More Romantic Than American Men

By Alyssa Lerner Junior, Boston University

I just got back from a semester abroad in Europe, and let me tell you, it truly was the most magical, amazing experience of my entire life. The French countryside was like something out of a storybook, the Roman ruins were magnificent, and the men, well, European men are by far the most romantic in the world.

You American men all think you're so suave and sophisticated. Well, think again! European men make you look like the immature, inexperienced little children you are. They really know how to make a woman feel special over there. Unlike the so-called men here in the States, European men know how to treat a woman right.

For one thing, European men aren't afraid to come up and talk to you. And they know how to start slow, with a nice cup of Italian espresso or a long walk on some historic street. They know the places you can't find in any tourist guide. They know the whole history of the cities in which they live—who the fountains are named after, who the statues are.

I remember one unforgettable night in Athens, I sat and listened to a Greek sailor for hours as he told me about the countless men who fought over Helen back in ancient times. Afterward, he told me he loved his homeland even more now that he'd seen it through my eyes. I ask you, would an American man ever say something as deep and beautiful as that?

European men know the most romantic little cafés and bistros and trattorias, candlelit places where you can be alone and drink the most fantastic wine. They tell you what's on the menu and what you should try. (If it wasn't for a certain young man in Milan, I never would have discovered fusilli a spinaci et scampi.) And the whole time, they're looking deep into your eyes, like you're the only woman on the entire planet. What woman could resist a man like that? Then, after a moonlit stroll along the waterfront and a kiss in the doorway of their artist's loft, you find yourself unable to—well, I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

I'll never forget my magical semester abroad. One thing's for sure—I'm ruined for American men forever! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

American Women Studying In Europe Are Unbelievably Easy

By Giovanni Di Salvi

I'm a 25-year-old carpenter living in Rome, and I don't mind telling you that I get all the action I can handle. I'm not all that handsome or well-dressed, and I'm certainly not rich. In fact, my Italian countrywomen could take me or leave me. But that's just fine, because Rome gets loads of tourist traffic, and American co-eds traveling through Europe are without a doubt the easiest lays in the world.

Being European gives me a hell of an advantage. I'm not sure why, but there's something about the accent that opens a lot of doors. All you have to do is go up to them, act a little shy and say, "Whould hyou like to go with me, Signorina, for a café?" I actually have to thicken up my accent a little, but they never, ever catch on.

After a cheap coffee, which to them always tastes better than anything they've ever had, because they're in Europe, it's time to walk them. Now, all they know about Rome is what they've read in Let's Go, so you can pretty much just make up a whole bunch of shit. It's fun to see how much they'll swallow: As long as I refer to Italy as "my homeland" and other Italians as "my people," they'll believe pretty much anything. I don't know who most of the local statues are, so I tell the muffins they're all great artists and poets and lovers. Once, just for the hell of it, I told a psychology major from the University of Maryland that a public staircase was part of the Spanish Steps, which she'd never even heard of. Another time, I told this blonde from Michigan State that the public library was the Parthenon, and she cooed like I'd just given her a diamond.

For dinner, I usually take them to some cheap little hole in the wall, someplace deserted where not even the cops eat. American girls think candlelight means "romance," not "deteriorating public utilities," so they just poke their nipples through their J. Crew sweaters and never notice that there's no electricity. Just as well, because Roman restaurants aren't exactly the cleanest. After a bunch of fast-talk about the menu, I get them the special, which is usually some anonymous pasta with spinach and day-old shrimp, and whatever cheap, generic, Pope's-blood chianti's at the bottom of the list.

By this time, they're usually standing in a slippery little puddle. Going in for the kill, I walk them past one of Rome's famous 2,000-year-old open cesspools. Then, as we open the door to my shitty efficiency, I kiss them on the eyelids so they don't see the roaches, making sure the first thing they see is the strategically positioned artist's easel I bought at some church sale. That's usually all they need to see and, like clockwork, they fall backwards on my bed with their Birkenstocks in the air.

I mean, they're hardly Italian women, but we have a saying here in Europe: Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?

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."
