The Big Easy Raleigh NC
The Big Easy in Raleigh NC.
A horrible choice for a meal or good times! Food is average, definitely not authentic Cajun! The worst part is the Poor Customer Service! From the time you get seated the process of continual let down begins. When I complained to the owner/manager as I left she said “Sorry BUDDIE” I would Put The Big Easy on The Worst Restaurants and Bar list for Raleigh NC.
The Big Easy is located on 222 Fayetteville St Raleigh, NC 27601
What is about to happen…
This is a post that was made earlier, however newly updated. Baring an early death, I will be #1 on the Forbes wealthiest human beings list. I know it deep down, more than I’ve known that I would own exotic sports cars which I do, More than I’ve known that I would be the CEO of an internet company in my early 20′s which I am. It shall be done. Not because I want to. Because I need to. It is at this point not a desire. It is a responsibility. It has become more than a dream. A reality that must be committed to till it has been achieved.
Are you driven to be an A List Client?!
I went down to see my CPA in Gastonia NC while I was on business sales calls in Charlotte. And learned a lot of things. 1st is how much money in taxes I’m gonna be paying this year. WHOA! There are way too many taxes! I am really really starting to like the sound of flat Tax! Any Hoo. My CPA said to me in conversation (and I don’t say this to brag…plus he’s not a CPA with TONS of clients, or HUGE clients) “with well managed income and revenue like this you could be one of my best A List Clients pretty soon”. Now I must say I loved to hear that and was very flattered. (Cheers to his effective sales skills.) However the more I thought about his statement over the weekend I realized that that’s exactly what I want to be for tons of individuals, business, and vendors. I love the quote “a rising tide raises all ships” I don’t know who said it but I like it. A List clients are enablers. They enable people and business to grow. Wether being an A List client provides income, revenue, success stories, experience, referrals, or networking A List Clients help in every way. And being and knowing you are some one else’s A List Client is a great feeling. More so its a feeling of commitment and responsibility. Cause you know that you are an impact client for that persons business, livelihood, and family. Also for my life’s goals and ambitions being an A List Client to as many people as possible will provide the avenue to achieve my dreams. And one of my goals is to provide opportunity for a lot of other people. Kind of a self fulfilling deal… Well thats the impact thought for the weekend. Hope you find my understanding helpful.
I wonder how God feels?
Tomorrow is Valentines day. As a friend would say “national singles awareness day”. When I was in Charlotte I made sure to stop by Brighton’s. A really cool store for women that is heart design centered. I spent over $75.00 on two gifts for a women I am interested in. However this woman doesn’t seem to have a reciprocal interest. Sure, it doesn’t feel great. But what must God feel like. I have gifts of value ready and waiting, all the right girl has to do is identify her self and she will be at the receiving end of over $75 worth of material gifts and so much more. What must God feel like. If you so believe, as I do that there is unlimited wealth and supply of needs that come from the one source. God must be one of the most heart broken individuals alive. In control of all blessings, material and beyond. Just waiting on those who he has affection for to step forward and receive his blessings. MAN! I thought it was tough on my end. Im glad I’m not God with unabound love, care, and source to provide for others that don’t want any part…
Speaking of Emotion
I don’t quite know why but I get emotional when I see the Charlotte NC skyline. I was in Charlotte visiting my family. The bestest most awesome family!! When I was leaving I took 277 belt line after looking at Ferrari’s at Foreign Cars Italia. As I was leaving the city, as I looked back at the sky line I became emotional. So much so I teared up a bit. I don’t know what caused it but it was just so powerful. Like I should be the one to own the skyline or at least the most outstanding pieces of the sky line I can’t explain it. But it so seems like I must own it or at least part of it…
I think I have Figured it out!
The best and worst thing about life is emotion. Can be the most greatest experience available to man kind. At the same time can be the toughest most hard to bare thing. Emotion, what drives some of us to success and great accomplishments, and what drives some of us to our last minute in life. The emotion of love can drive great men and women to the highest levels of success our society has ever seen. On the opposite edge can drive men and women to the edge of insanity and suicide. Emotion can help us make the best decisions available to us at the moment. At other times and situations can drive us to make the worst decisions available in a given situation. What can we do and what/how can we control our emotions to deliver us to our desired out come if we cant control the external factors that set off and trigger our emotions. And can we really at a primal level really control our emotions. I fully believe that we can control our attitude and actions. However can we really control our emotions? Us men never honestly want to be driven by our emotions to the point of tears. So if we are is it by our subconscious doing or our desire to really express our selfs or so overwhelmed by emotion that we cant control it?
Do “Crazy Shit” and Get Paid!
As I watch “Factory Girl” a movie’s who’s cover has intrigued me since the first time I saw it on the rack at BlockBuster.A friend had it in there dvd collection and it was a must borrow.Its funny. It really is. I pick out of the film. First off being mad rich. Thats where it kinda picks up with this rich girl and Andy Worhaul. They just live their life’s and do what ever they want. Which is totally foreign and different to all those who arn’t in their network. However to their network its no big deal.OOHH…just got to the part where the family puts the lock down to the kids. Its funny how rich kids will do what ever their parents say or want them to do because of Money. They will not and can not think of doing anything agenst their parents will because of fear of being cut out of the ca$h flow.Thats one area that us middle class and poor folks don’t worry about. Money of our parents isnt an issue. Cause THEY DONT HAVE ANY!!! SURPRISE SURPRISE. For us I think it matters way less. And maybe thats why such a large percentage of the wealthiest people are first generation?! Point being if you do “crazy shit” and just a few people apreceate it you have the potential of making bank! peace…
look good
