Beauty.
It’s been years since the retail world, but there was a point in time where I worked in J. Crew folding clothes at Roosevelt Field. As I would walk from the parking garage to J. Crew, in between the trek was a MAC store I had to pass, when lo and behold I see my dear old high school friend making women more beautiful by the day. She’s as passionate about it now as she was when we crossed paths many years ago. Re-introducing Shereen Nicole.

This is dedicated to those who CAN’T write; you may need me, but I need you MUCH more. My craft depends on it.
Individually running together.
Today’s discussion is on collaboration, the mechanics behind having a symbiotic relationship with someone or something that has a skill that you need, and/or would like to acquire. Sure I can write, but I’m only as good as my tools (i.e. pen, paper, and this here Microsoft Word).
At its rudimentary root, friendships are based upon using someone, sans the abuse. Think about it; …
Broken hearts are a result of Ill-advised actions.
Growth is a compound of elements that include experimentation, observations, success, and error. With all of those elements, they symbiotically symbolize all things that are good and bad throughout our lifetime. No matter how just our moves we make are, or selfish we can be, time always moves on.

And as time passes, we realize how important it is to think with good intentions. It was …
The Most Important Book in my World in 2008.
Life is one big curveball. But unlike baseball, the things that throw us off are work, school, social responsibilities, and relationships. My own life requires me producing written material constantly, feeding my mind with books and information, maintaining strong social bonds, training for a marathon, and being a full-time husband. How do we make sense with a life of goals, required responsibilities, and fun?

If It's For Free, It's For Me. And Dino.
Over the years, I’ve gained a reputation of being the end-all be-all in attaining hard to find things, brokering hook-ups, and hopefully, advising and putting people in favorable positions that they wouldn’t find otherwise. I am HONORED to be coronated with the crown of being the one called upon for all such things; but everyone has the capacity to do what I do.
“The right man is the one that seizes the moment.” – Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Yesterday, I realized …
Tech guru extraordinaire.
Friday June 25th, 2010 – I was late, and the wait was unbearable, yet necessary. The launch of an electronic device (that I’ll remain nameless) was upon us, and there were 2,000 people in front of me. It was by chance I’d be entertained all line long by the man right behind me. He virtually knew EVERYTHING about every electronic device, every device he had on him when I met him, and he could go for days about insights on direction technology was headed.
I'm Ralph. Can I be your friend?
When garnering the necessary experience to be worthy of identifying your soul mate, it’s usually frowned upon to start, build, and fortify these prospective partnerships with the support of good old platonics, deeply-seeded in friendship. The popular lexicon associated with this is called the “Friend-Zone’ – a phenomenon that occurs that when real intentions are brought to the table, while the prospect of romance is quickly thwarted with lines such as, “Were too good of friends,” or “I don’t want us to ruin …
