NV Shoe of the Month

Prada Spazzolato Penny Loafer

The Penny Loafer is

the Neato Vines

Shoe of the Month!

Pair with a clean pair

of jeans, no socks, or with

socks of your color,

even white;  fancy it up with

your own flavor.  This one from

Prada is definitely spiffy,

but for those on a budget, opt

for the ever classic Bass Logan.

Was looking at WordPress this morning and came across “The Green Door On The Other Side” who posted some work from Oh Land! So I looked into it more. Great music. Really appreciated this Joint!

Global Awareness!

There is much talk about a global society.  In various realms of our lives we are failing to become global; in education, culture, language, even business.  Some ask the question “Is becoming global a good thing?”.  The answer to that question depends on your take on the concept of a global society.  In today’s world the Elite have tried to become “one” in their actions which are based off of money making intentions.  When the word “global” is spoken a person can think of  “one” or they can think of boundless quantities.  Thinking of the later is better.  It is best to think of a global society as members of the world having global awareness.   Occupants of every country must have an awareness, an understanding, and a sensitivity to the various cultures, customs, and practices of their world neighbors.

One way in which we have become globally aware is in the urban lifestyle.  This ranges from urban sports, fashion, art, and music.  We have discovered a language that encompasses everyone, but does not strip you from your home culture.  The phenomena of sound, and site have made the world a small place but by giving us more vast perspectives.  One specific vine that links us together is street art.  Check out these pieces from around the world.

Constant Progression Towards Intelligence…Just think, what if you can just..

Find your business, and be about it.  Be completely about it! Each of us has our own life individually to manage.  Life is our business.  True intelligence is not reflective of knowledge base.  Knowledge through self-education is a tool that aids us in existing intelligently.  Just a tool to help us stay out of our own way, as defined by one of my great compañeros.  Analyze that statement.  Meditate on it.  We are in a times of BLAME and RELIANCE.  True intellectuals first recognize that they are the decision maker in ever situation that comes to exists.  No matter what outside source is at hand, you are the final decision maker. As advanced beings, we need tools to help us to this point of intelligence.   Knowledge through self-education is one of those tools.  Research and reading various concepts and ideas is one element of self-education.  But remember that it is only a tool.  Research every word and concept you come across.  Do not take another’s word as your word.  How intelligent would that be?  “Think About it”…

Here’s a good tool to start out or continue on your progress with.  Written by Malcolm Gladwell, “The Tipping Point” is a great read.  Malcolm Gladwell’s style of writing keeps you interested, and pushes you to research more and analyze the ideas of growing in our business of life.
