Today’s lesson
The lesson I am starting to realize more and more is that it’s me. Despite what others do, my reaction is mostly in my control. I can take control of how I think about what happens. I can make a choice to tend to or shift my emotions. I may not get to choose what…

The one thing to learn from Jake Paul
Confession, I spent quite a bit of time sucked into a YouTube time suck watching and analyzing Jake Paul’s entry into boxing. There were the prefight weigh-ins, the trash talk sessions, and of course the fights and commentary. And now that he is (probably still) set to fight Mike Tyson, I gotta say I look…

You wanna smell like Jake Paul?
To say that Jake Paul made his foray into boxing would be under-descriptive. He has gone after the pursuit, wholeheartedly, if not brashly. And though he has a bout against Mike Tyson looming, he’s going after a different W. That is his very own line of bodycare, W by Jake Paul. The line of products…

Write me a schedule
I was complaining about some changes at work. Let’s say that they were getting very detail oriented in time management. I had to start giving an account of how all of my time being used. As I went on about the frustration of it all, he responded, “Why don’t you just have ChatGPT write you…

Le Male Elixir is certainly a powerful fragrance
I recall smelling someone wearing Le Male by Jean Paul Gautier and being the person asking, “What fragrance are you wearing?” As a result, my hopes were high as I tried the Le Male Elixir. Oh buddy, not the same experience. The first spray was overwhelming and instant regret. I was glad I wasn’t planning…

I am a great storyteller
I was doomed at work because I had made mistakes, that I would continue to make, and would be found out for not being qualified. And then ultimately, I would be let go. Or at least that is the story I had been telling myself. I had constructed the story, with the inspiration of minor…

Too much celebrity?
I popped in to watch the live stream of the Louis Vuitton men’s show. The live chat was already going. S. Jackson! Jackson! Jackson! Viewers were clamoring for Jackson Wang, just to get view of him heading into the show or seated first row. I can’t be sure if they were there for the clothes…

Louis Vuitton debuted their men’s Spring Summer 2025 collection in Paris.
On Monday, Louis Vuitton released a video teasing its then upcoming show for its Men’s Spring Summer 2025 line. In it, we see a collection of children, who appear to be a sort of Model UN. It was a call for unity and a reminder that they are the future. It is in the hands…
