Bulgari Ring (Save the Children)

Bulgari will mark its 125th anniversary with high-wattage celebrations and a charity initiative. The Roman jeweler has joined forces with Save the Children for a project called Rewrite the Future. The goal is to provide education to eight million children living in conflict-affected areas by 2010. Bulgari said it aims to raise 10 million euros, or $12.8 million at current exchange, and has designed a silver ring, engraved with the Bulgari and Save the Children logos, which will go on sale from Feb. 1 to Dec. 31, with the price fixed at $290 and 290 euros. Other events on the agenda include a retrospective titled “Tra Eternità e Storia” (Between Eternity and History) that will be held on June 4 in Rome, while 15 pieces of high jewelry and eight exclusive timepieces will be auctioned off in December 2009 in New York.

BMF going behind bars

Nine members of famed criminal organization the Black Mafia Family (BMF) were sentenced to prison time in Atlanta Wensday October 29 for their role in the massive cocaine and crack distribution throughout the nation’s biggest cities.According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, nine BMF individuals were handed sentences ranging from at least four years to over 16 1/2 behind bars. Upon their release, each one will immediately be placed on probation. Requesting U.S. District Judge Orinda Evans for enrollment in an intensive drug program in prison to help reduce their time, along with apologizing to the families they have affected, the group were given their terms for over nine hours in court. Beginning in the 80s by brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory by selling drugs in Detroit schools and later expanding throughout Los Angeles and Atlanta. BMF took a legitimate role in hip-hop around 2000 setting up their label, Black Mafia Family Entertainment, and their flagship artist, Bleu DaVinci (born Barima McKnight). After the brothers pleaded guilty in November 2007 to various drug charges, more members began to testify along with 16 who were indicted in Atlanta. DaVinci, known for collaborating on records with established artists like Fabolous, Mistah Fab and Young Jeezy, was sentenced to five years behind bars for drug conspiracy. “Eighty thousand sorries won’t work, and I know that,” he told AJC. “I have to own up to my actions.” Another member, Franklin Nash, had been scheduled to be sentenced yesterday.

Personally I respected their hustle and think they made some smart moves untill they went hitting the media to clean their money in the form of entertainment. Stuntin' in public. This was not only foolish but probably a real cocky route wich killed the organisation. Be good my dudes and shake ya nuts if you have to whaha

Crooks & Castles Holiday 2008

I love this brand but when will they finally come with any new designs/styles?

Final Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Auction in the USA

A little over a year after its introduction, the roadster variant of the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren will cease production in 2009. The final unit of the world’s fastest automatic transmission roadster in the United States is featured in the Saks Fifth Avenue 2008 Holiday Catalog, and will be auctioned off on 20 November, 2008.

Exclusivity is assured to the better-late-than-never buyer of this popular model, with the inclusion of a special deep copper-toned sienna pearl metallic paint job claimed to be three times more reflective than regular metallic paint.

An exclusive tobacco brown composition leather with black accents envelopes the interior, while gold brake calipers offer a uniquely decadent braking system.

Other features and performance specifications are reported to remain standard, including the car’s supercharged V8 AMG power-plant that achieves a top speed of 332 km/h and a 0-62 time of 3.8 seconds. The icing on the cake? Any profits that goes beyond the car’s price tag of US$529,500 will be donated to the St Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Meetings and more meetings

Is it me or do a lot of people basically abuse meeting time to actually start thinking about their own projects/proposals instead of setting it all up themselfs up front? My advice in overall is if you want to be your own boss then handle that part yourself and don't let the world around you inspire you too much. End of the day it's your company/project and your future. Invest in yourself and all effort will be rewarded 1 day!

Fuck School!!!

What??? No @#!$ my school!! Fuck AMFI!

After a long time I finally had the motivation to go back and get my Bachelor degree. I tought it would be smart to go do a Fashion study since I want to set up my own Fashion company. So I signed up at AMFI in Amsterdam and passed easily.
But it didn't take much time for me to notice I was different than every other student based on looks. I am no battyboy and neither do I have tits so that instantly made me different.
Now I didn't care because I'm not there to make new friends and spice up social life lol. I'm there to get my fucking degree so I have a Plan B to always fall on. It was basically strictly business.

I quickly found out basically all teachers in the whole college already had judged me and thought I did not belong on their school. So it also didn't take long before I got called names by this 1 bitch. I didn't say a damn thing back while I'm used to smack teachers on their head for this kind of behaviour. All I had in mind is to keep my cool so I won't get in any trouble and just can get my damn Diploma!

A few weeks flew by and before I knew it our first project was getting judged. I still had good thoughts and hope untill I got my rapport back. I then found out not only did they not rated 1 of my books but they also claimed it was missing and it was my fault even tho it wasn't missing at all and I found it right back with all the other books from other students. This made me pissed off but what made me even more angry is to see that they had failed me on every aspect and did not give any tips or details about what I had to fix.
All the other students had a rapport with great details and good ratings even tho their stuff was basically the same shit as I had delivered.
So I contacted my teacher and asked for feedback but she didn't want to give it to me and said it should already say in my rapport. I became so mad that I had to go home or else I would slap this bitch silly.

The next weeks I arranged meetings with all the heads in charge of basically the whole damn school. Finishing with the headmaster bitch. Now this is was totally amazing because all the other people told me they didn't believe me and said they will try get something done but end of the day did nothig and told me it's my own fault. But this bitch actually had kicked me out of her office because I kept asking her polite and political if my rapport was correct or not. So she finally admitted it in 1 of her stories so I told her aw ha!!! I gotcha!!! so it is wrong!!!
Right there she flipped out and told me I'm the first person to got her mad and told me to leave right away lollll

Sooooo what's going to happen right now is that I'm signing off and gon put a huge claim against the school through the Dutch goverment because a college like this don't deserve to get tax money.

Thanks for reading even tho isn't even half the story. I had to get this shit off my chest and don't get offended by my language as you may understand I'm emiontally attacked by this.

Pzzz

My new Logo

There have been some questions about my new Logo so here's the story around it.
Basically the whole image represents me and therefore there's no text needed. The inside consists out of a growing plant trying to find his way, this stands for my passion and overall hunger for more. The outside looks royal and is taken from the Dollar bill and used to contain The All Seeing Eye (Illuminati) wich represents my being.
