Attractive Tales from Grand Cities, a Social Memoir

When does a male, truly transform from a child, adolescent, and youth, into a legitimate full grown man? Should "manhood" be considered a physical achievement? Is "manhood" achieved once a state of adulthood, responsibility and grown-up level is conquered? Is "manhood" acquired once a male has become a rainmaker and created his own family? A family, for example with a wife and children? When is a male officially a truthful, gentle, full legitimate grown MAN? I am simply curious? In my humble opinion, a man's own merit is achieved at different time levels for each us. For example, let us a say a young boy, loses his father tragically to death at a youthful age. To such sadness as say war, a traffic accident or medical loss. If a youth under the age of 18, loses his father to death, this would probably force the boy to grow up faster than is necessary. Sometimes a man, must grow out of his father's shadows and legacy. For example, when P...

Greed. ɡrēd/ noun Definition. intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food. Courtesy of Wikipedia. Thanks wiki. Greed is a very strong and over-riding characteristic throughout American Culture. As our adult financial responsibility grows, one deeply feels the mounting pressures, and human desire for monetary wealth. Here is a simple test. Go outside, call and ask your friend for a free favor? Gauge the response. Next, ask your exact same friend for a PAID favor? Unless this friend is your significant other sexual partner, or an immediate family member, the PAID person is usually whom makes it happen. We live in a personal service, tech oriented, product, and evolving capitalist economy. Each unique person has different levels of greed. Personally, I would grade my greed level as very marginal. I can be content with the basics of food, love, and shelter. Some people become gluttonously spoiled to money, wealth, luxury, and a certain lifesty...

Lately, I feel as though I am responsible for generating everything. It seems that if anything at all is going to happen, than it is personally up to me. How about you? I personally generate the majority of my real estate business. I cold call, for sale by owners. I cold call for rent signs in yards. I cold call, coming soon new construction, builder signs in yards. I advertise. I market. I email previous clients. I email industry workers. I GENERATE EVERYTHING! Sometimes, my broker throws me some business that he is not interested in, or does not care to engage directly upon. So I get thrown a bone every now and then. I generate everything. As a single man, if I want to try and have a successful female companion, I have to generate everything. I have to go out at night and look sharp. I have to do the approaching. I have to do the follow-up, and the dating. All the bullshit. Can we make this easier? I am so tired of having to generate EVERYTHING in LIFE. "If it is goin...

What do you really want right now in life? What do you yearn for? What is that dreamy item, place, person or thing, you believe would place your life OVER THE TOP? As I've noticed working in the residential realty service industry, each unique person always WANTS something. My job is to help people acquire what they uniquely WANT. Whether their objective is cheap land for a builder, a fantastic scenic view for a new owner, or an immaculate kitchen for the Mrs. Each client has a different want. So, since my daily life routine SHOULD BE, focusing and filling the wants of others, now is my turn. Here is my public forum to tell you what I dream for, and want! You may notice, some of these specific wish list items, I have personally already obtained in the past. I'm in the 3rd decade of life, where I truly ponder, what is there really left for me to do here on Earth? I have had a great personal run. Does God have a different calling for me, now and in the future? We as fellow...

Timing and Decision making . To me, its seems the later two are intertwined together. Have you, our wonderful reader, ever noticed that your personal life decisions change, depending on the current mood and timing? For example, if at the age of 25, I had been offered a job, and residence in say....North Carolina, or Arizona, or a foreign land, I would have said HELL NO and rejected it. Why, because when I was 25 years old, I was gainfully and happily employed at the Hotel Gansevoort, living in Midtown West Manhattan, partying with celebrities and feeling the limelight of the Big Apple. I lived in happy awe, within the Meatpacking District's energetic environment. At that time, I had zero desire for change, and was content with the status-quo. Fast forward to that exact previous question today, and at a reserved, refined age of 34, I would take a much hardier and genuine look. Maybe I would actually uproot and move. Who knows? The question about a change in city or occupation...
