Straight Down The Middle!!!

I'm on to something big folks, and I'm not talking about my triceps. Since day 1, I've boasted numerous remarks on the claims that if I were to ever "make it" in this lifetime, I would part the seas (i.e. the picture above). The 96' "Gran-Mama" Larry Johnson, the infamous Stephon Marbury cold-cut sandwich, the Hoop Dreams pioneer classic that is William Gates. This highly anticipated act, is my political statement to this big-bad world that my family and I have officially broke through the mold. Now, my personal goal is to garner enough attention to my new business venture resulting in a publicized article for "Entrepreneur" Magazine before my next birthday. This lofty endeavor has become more realistic and surprisingly grown closer to fruition in only a matter of months. I made it. A water-shed event. A CNN Story. Holiday 2011.

What Don't We Do?

Did you know "Sonic The Hedgehog" was an affiliate with the notorious Eastside Rollin' Crips? Do you know what minor incident set-off the legendary internal beef between Luigi and Wario? Have you ever wondered where Marcus Fenix purchases his Du-rags after they have been mangled in blood and remains of the Locust Horde? Well search no more. Jerimiah Ireland, otherwise known as J. Eye from the "ALL-NICE" crew, is embarking on a brand-new venture which inducts a unique analysis on the gaming industry in position left vacant. A perspective that does not specifically relate to the stereotypical gaming audience. Imagine the bull-dog movement that was Allen Iverson into sports media. Better yet, picture IGN, with an urban twist and voice that speaks directly to this niche consumer in a way that has never been done before. Rave reviews, vast commentary, video footage, player ratings, and much more will all truly be encompassed in this cleverly named project currently under construction and slated to drop soon. Stay tuned for more results at: (www.thegamedontwait.com) Once again I ask you, What don't we do?

"Think & Grow Rich" By Napoleon Hill

"Made To Stick" By Chip and Dan Heath

These two precious gems both played major roles in sealing my greatest achievement to date and effortlessly seizing the opportunity of a lifetime. The first book I have every truly read completely from cover to cover was called "Think & Grow Rich" by Napoleoon Hill. I carry an indestructible affirmation that Napoleon's discovery is second to only the Holy Bible. The wonders of Hill's teachings transformed my mental attitude and the overall outlook on life forever. It is a motivational guide that any aspiring entrepreneur can not live without.

The proceeding book entitled "Made To Stick" by the Heath Brothers, enlightens readers through a powerful acronym they coined from the term, "SUCCESs". The (S) being "Simple", the (U) meaning "Unexpected", the (C) standing for "Concrete", the following (C) as "Credibility", the (E) representing the word "Emotional", and finally the (S) which translates to "Story". Correctly applying these six principles will undeniably resonate your brilliant idea with anyone from your elderly grandmother to the post-officer who delivers your mail every morning. In my case, it was a multi-million dollar company.

Draft #1....

Here is a slight glimpse into the industrious and muddled world that is "ALL-NICE". This 26 page catalog was assembled to showcase simply how the brand is just an extension of my environment captured through a lens, ink-jet, and card stock paper. To display the progression over our rookie season while nevertheless, emphasizing the point that I never could have accomplished any of these achievements solely alone. It is truly about the TEAM endeavor. I now suggest to be the self-proclaimed Kevin Durant of streetwear. This final project will be available October 1, 2010 upon request.

Every Wednesday, I plan to drop some knowledge on. Today announces our first-ever guest appearance on the ALL-NICE Blog, from the imperial Gabriel Sanchez (www.gseventhree.com). See these words, and eat this thought.....

Consumerism "the Definition"- is a social and economic order that is based on the systematic creation and fostering of a desire to purchase goods or services in ever greater amounts.

Consumerism is an “experience” that consists of the feelings, smells, sounds and expressions that you notice as you enter shopping malls, plazas, vacation spots and amusement parks. One can even experience consumerism at a local convenience store just around the corner. It’s where transactions of all sorts take place. Wherever you may be, just take a step back and observe what is actually happening.

As you walk by the stores, fragrances change almost as if there is an invisible wall. Without even knowing, the atmosphere almost pulls you into every shop you walk by. As you take a look around and observe how other people in your vicinity react to this invisible wall of smell, they respond as if the shop is some sort of elegant Venus fly trap. They aren't bothered by being part of this shop’s hourly meal of consumers only to be spit back up, so that the other stores can get a crack at chomping away at their flavorful wallet!

Some of the customers walk around wearing the confidence on their face and showing it in their stride. They can go into any store and make purchases at will, while others are merely looking through the glass walls into the shops, just to browse at what they would buy if their income was greater. Then you have those that are on a mission to purchase what they need and get out as fast as they can.

Places like these can inspire, defeat or amuse you if you step back look around and begin to take it all in ... the experience of being a consumer!
