Frequency
I'm getting on the right frequency. My man talks about how everything has a "frequency". A level of vibration. When you match something's frequency, you attract it. Like when you and someone begin arguing, but end up getting on the same page. Well I feel like I'm getting on the right frequency for success. Today at work, I (once again) improved on my sales numbers from the day before. Made some GREAT money today. And I found out that they are going to start paying weekly beginning next month. Also, my OG homey called me again asking me to do some more contract work for him. Mo money MO money MO MONEY! Also, I've met a few people at the airport that are very interesting. I met a Georgia State Senator who told me to come down and see him if I end up around the Capitol building when he's in session. Also, met Atlanta Falcons receiver Roddy White's mama (very nice lady btw). Also, gotten about 3 or 4 job offers from people who have said that they like my sales style. My manager and all of his bosses love me and have all been saying good things about me. Life is really going up!

Money, Power, Respect: The Key to Life?
I went to the fast food restaurant "The Five Guys" for the 1st time today. If it sounds familiar, it's the place President Obama took Brian Jennings to during his "Inside the Obama White House" special on NBC (or ABC) a little while ago. The burgers are OFFICIAL by the way and the whole vibe of the place is very reminiscent of "In N Out".
Anyways, while I was thinking about Obama and his trip to get burgers for everyone, I thought about the President of the US being the most powerful man in the world, but the most powerful man in the world only makes $200,000 per year (I say only purely in comparison to the salary you might expect one who wields that kind of power would make. In NO WAY am I implying that 200 stacks isn't a lot of money). Then I thought about Bill Gates, who is currently worth an estimated $40 billion dollars. Which one would you rather be, the most powerful man in the world (Obama) or the richest man in the world a la Bill Gates?
While my first thought was Obama, whose influence is felt by every person on the planet, I had to ultimately go with Mr. Gates. If you are one of those who ascribe to the theory that money is power (like moi) then $40 billion is a WHOLE LOTTA POWER. Now while Bill Gates doesn't have the power to draft new healthcare legislation, he does have the power to decide to offer universal healthcare to the entire eastern seaboard. Game. Set. Match. Mr. Gates. Your thoughts?
