WatchThe Tony Yayo Story
Tony Yayo is still a goon and still a horrible rapper, but one thing he has over most people is a rock solid crew. I love my friends, but I’m damn sure none of them would have a million dollars, a 2 BR in NYC, Jacob watches and a chinchilla waiting for me if I went to jail!

C’MON SON!
Rephrasing Life
Started reading Tim Ferris’ 4-Hour Work Week a few days ago and absolutely love it. He does a great job of rephrasing most Americans’ open ended wishes into concrete and reachable goals.
Ex: “Do what you want” should be replaced by “Do what excites you” because want is too vague to be answerable. Excitement is a particular emotion thus much easier to narrow...
