If you are not familiar with Gary Vaynerchuck, he is a cat that took a family liquor store from $5 million in sales to $50 million in sales using the Internet and social media. He also got a 7 sticks book deal. Not bad in a Down Economy.
His book is basically about using your passion in life to make money. The book gives some great advice on exactly how to do that and build your personal brand using social media.
This is a pretty remarkable time we live in. Younger G’s should appreciate it. You really can become anything you want to these days. Manifesto Destiny.
Why you should by this book:
1. If you are unhappy with your job and you would like to do something that you love doing.
2. If you want to learn how to turn your passion into a money maker.
3. You want to learn whats going down in the world today.
I’m lushin Russian women, via satellite I’m watchin
I dare a n-gga say he want to battle me, I’ll crush ya
Even blind girls rush next to Hammera and scream out

These Russian Models (FTV, FYI) are mad, mad fly and I’ve been running into them (so to speak) more and more on the international scene. The distinguishing feature about Russian women is they are women in every inch. They dress for men, they expect gentlemen to be gentlemen, and they don’t take any bullshit. Unlike other haute couture model types, these enigmatic girls have a unique modus operadi that I dig. Or maybe it’s the sinister accent. Maybe it’s the ice cold attitude.
So cold I need theraflu,
I’m so high I need parachutes,
I’m error proof, I’m never spooked,
and my suit, heaven blue.
Let me share with you some personal maxims I live by when swooping these krutay dorogaya’s… check the technique so you can come correct:
• You have to have G appeal. Scratch that, you have to be G… 24/7
• Always be a polite and well-mannered G. Real Russian women dislike men being rude and ill-bred.
• You are intimidated by nothing. Fearless. (Russian woman do not tolerate weesh suckas.)
• Thick bankrolls & pockets stuffed like Thanksgiving; ability to flash cash like Coltrane brass, but not sweatin’ it like trendsetting it. (side note: don’t count $$ in front of them — cream on the inside, clean on the outside.)
• Grits. Keep it pugilistic (or ballistic, in the case of my .38 snubby), ie. Must be able to kick-ass in a fight, because with girls this fly it’s gonna go down (frequently) with douchebags attempting to cramp your style.
• You have to be able to drink like a man, as in, you have to be able drink more vodka than a Russian Grizzly bear (and still be able to handle yourself). Zapoi.
• Russians, much like the French, have an admiration for outlaws, mafioso types and G’s.
• Your greatest strength is also your greatest weakness.
• Stay unpredictable (but thinking of a Master Plan, like Chilly Tee said, gotta keep ahead, gotta keep my head).
• Don’t supplicate (I’m not even sure that word exists in Russian vocabulary).
• Aggressive, yet mellow and cool.
They look at me as that cat that know how to box, know about glocks, know about runnin’ from cops and switchin’ up spots.
Get out my shit, Please let me be, I don’t see why — you KGB
Why you gotta be all up on me like that, Trying to get over
like a fat rat, but I understand — I’m a woman in the land of hip-hop
And the shit don’t stop, it goes on, on, on, on
You see the shit don’t stop till the break of dawn
And now who makes it liver than a hip-hop, scuba diver, chillin with
a pina colada, kidada hooked me up with Tommy now I gotta
lot of gear from everywhere that I’d like to share (yeah right!)

A few years ago, I would sit back in my Base of Operations, kick up my Gucci loafers, spark up a Macaudo with my Dunhill lighter and stare at a big world map in my office.
Younger Prototype G’s, that I sometimes bankroll, would often stop by and ask me what all the different “pins” in each city were for. Most of the time, they would guess that the pins signified where I moved weight or places that I have heisted.
They were wrong. I used the pins to mark how many fly girls I had on my team in each city. (And by “fly girls” I mean, top tier Nightlife Princesses, Sophistos, Super Rich girls, Model girls. Essentially girls that even most high ranking players would settle down with. Furthermore, all of these girls I got on with really well).
That map was glorious in those days. I had like 10 pins in LA, 7 pins in NYC, 4 pins in New Orleans, 2 pins in DC, 3 pins in Chicago, 6 pins in San Diego, 5 pins in SF, 8 pins in Miami Beach, and 12 pins in Las Vegas. Top shelf all the way. And that’s just the mainland.
A funny confluence of events happened this year though. For some strange reason, that I still need to analyze, I stopped making connections with top flight girls. Sure I have still swooped plenty of fly girls, just not girls worthy of putting on my team (mostly, for personality reasons). Basically, I committed a cardinal sin; I stopped refilling my pipe.
On top of that, about twenty of these girls got married with some beta or closed up shop with some weesh guy. (I blame The Down Economy). In addition, I lost contact with many of these girls through many of my cell phone number changes. (I don’t use Facebook to keep in touch with girls, I am too old-school.)
Interestingly enough, as the worst decade ever comes to a close, I have a very slim team.
Time to rebuild.
Either way, the lesson to learn is: Always Drink Fresh Blood
I wasn’t able to do my typical prediction on Manny Pacquiao VS Miguel Cotto as I was laying low in the badlands of Norte Baja and swooping girls in Tijuana. I actually watched Manny Pacquiao VS Miguel Cotto in a bar full of crazy Mexicans and have no idea of the commentary for the fight.
(In case you wanted to know, my prediction was Manny Pacquiao in a late round KO. Although, I would have said that Cotto at 3-1 wasn’t a bad bet).
Here are my post fight thoughts:
Manny Pacquiao is a living nightmare to fight. He leads, you punch and he punches more. It is very hard to beat a guy that triples your punch output.
Pacquiao has had an amazing career. Wins over Miguel Angel Cotto, Ricky Hatton, Oscar De La Hoya, Juan Manuel Marquez, Marco Antonio Barrera, and Erik Morales will do that to someone. Hell, he had an amazing career after coming on top of the Barrera and Morales wars.
The only way Cotto could have won was to: get out of the first three rounds unscathed (he didn’t), rough up and foul PacMan (he didn’t), work the body heavy (he did a little). Cotto is a little too much of a gentleman to execute the proper gameplan.
Pacquiao is The Bruce Lee of Boxing. No one has the in and out attack and rhythm of PacMan.
No one is more dangerous than Pacquiao in exchanges. If Cotto didn’t exchange and get knocked down early, the fight would have pretty even going into the 2nd half.
Pacquiao’s chin is legit. He got hit with some heavy shots and stood up to them. He also took some heavy body shots, which seemed to freeze him.
Cotto has gallons of heart and courage. He easily could have quit, but instead tried to switch his gameplan and tried to win the fight up until the end.
I have little doubt that the names Rustico Torrecampo, Medgoen Singsurat hold mad weight in the Gentleman’s Clubs of Thailand and the Philippines these days.
Mayweather VS Pacquiao is on like Vietnam. They should just split 50-50 and make it happen.
Mayweather can derail the Pacquiao locomotive, but the question is if his inactivity will hurt him.
Either way, this may be boxing’s last great fight. The 80’s babies have proven themselves irrelevant.
“All the good guys are taken!”
“It is so hard to meet a good man!”
“Where are all the great guys?!”
(Disclaimer: I haven’t actually “heard” girls say this. I am not the shoulder to cry on and I have a very low threshold for rubbish. And my Psychosis and Ego are so out of control these days, if I hear a girl talking about other guys or men in general, I simply bounce like checks from Middle America in 2009. But either way, I am sure girls say this gibberish.)
To all the girls, news just in: there are good guys out there.
For one, I am single. Let’s look at my stats for a quick second. I have (again, not to be a flash bastard, just kicking the fountain of youth*):
• Youthful, brutally handsome good looks.
• A fat pocket. And I am liquid.
• A suit collection, second to maybe, Ozwald Boateng.
• A name that carries mad weight like a coke scale on the street, the beach, nightclubs and dope restaurants. Internationally.
• Great genetics and a full head of hair.
• Put girls in a deep sleep from Grape Street Watts to Watts Street, Soho.
• Class, Style and Dash.
• Since age 10, my team played to win.
• Strong Ambition since the days of Kahane. And some time in reform school to prove it.
• Undefeated in the bedroom. Somewhere around XXXX-0. Give or take a few hundred wins.
• Came out on top of The Ecstasy Wonder Gang Wars of the 90’s.
• Street smarts and flow multiple languages.
• A positive, down to earth, humble attitude.
• Hell, I even know like 40 different Zippo tricks.
The thing is, it is actually pretty easy to land a guy like me. And I think every guy I know will agree with me on this. All you girls need to do is this:
• Have timeless, striking, stunning, unique beauty.
• Be bisexual.
• Stay 21 years old forever.
• Have a father who is the richest businessman in your home country. 100 million give or take a mill here or a mill there.
• Be a smoker.
• Wreck shop in the kitchen.
• Historical family name. (Sure I come from a great family, but a generation ago, my family was letting off bombs on the streets of Belfast and the beaches of the Basque Country. I need to get some upward mobility out of the deal.)
• Be feminine and wear high heels and dresses. Always.
• Be able to do the splits and move your hips. Bonus points for being able to do back flips.
It’s really that easy.
The craziest thing about this is I have dated three girls in my life that actually met these criteria. But I was too young to settle down. Only time will tell if Sonny was right or wrong when he said “You only get three great ones”.

Fact: American Girls are terrible prospects for dating.
So to affray this reality, the only move left for American based G to play is to swoop tons of Different Girls at the Same Time. This way you can look at the “bright side” of each girl and add them together to “create” one decent girl.
Well, either that or it’s because of all the sexual perversions, monogamy is the most unnatural.
Here is how to not get caught:
Date Girls with Boyfriends
We have already broken down the benefits to Dating Girls with Boyfriends. Girls with boyfriends are less labor intensive and they don’t bug the sh#t out of you. That is what their boyfriend is for, right?
Clean your Sheets
Girls have a strong sense of smell and can tell if you have regulated other girls on the Tempur-pedic (I am seriously thinking of getting one of these. My back is starting to hurt from all the E-Tabs I took as a young up and coming Prototype G). Get your sheets cleaned often.
I was just doing the math. Last year, I paid my maids like 40k in cleaning costs because I was swooping so many girls. Not bad for a Down Economy. So far this year? Hell, sky’s the limit, I just saw my maids pushing the Q Four Five Infinit.
I was going through mad sets of bed sheets too. I think I single handedly raised the demand on Egyptian Cotton. That industry probably owes me a thank you card.
Diversify your Girl Portfolio
Many weesh “players” get caught because they are always tapping the same source (so to speak). Logic would dictate that you wouldn’t want to swoop three different girls at your place of work, right?
Use geography to your advantage. In NYC, for instance, you should swoop a fly NYU girl, a Soho Model, an Upper East-side Mobile, maybe a few Hipster girls and Butter Pecans etc.
In LA, maybe swoop a beach girl from Manhattan, some psedo-P0rn girls from Sunset, a Croatian from Pedro, some Fresas up from Mexico City and a chocolate deluxe from the east side of the LBC.
You get the broken picture.
Exotic Dancers
If you have been reading The G Manifesto for a while, you are familiar with the benefit play of swooping Exotic Dancers. Exotics are great for the rotation because they are always working at night, and generally speaking, are extremely low-maintenance. The less they are around, the lesser chance you have of being caught.
Conjointly, they can hang upside down from my Italian Murano Chandelier while doing the splits.
Try to find a civilian girl that can do that.
Aliases
It always amazes me how guys in The Game don’t use aliases. Me? I use tons. Not to sound like a flash bastard, but I have been going on an ID spree and have like 10 full sets now.
Even I am starting to get confused what my real name is. I am Bi-polar with an identity crisis to say the least.
With multiple Aliases you create confusion in the marketplace and lower your chances of girls figuring out who you are. You can even swoop two girls that are best friends.
Hell, I one time swooped the same girl twice, 6 months apart with different names and a haircut. And she was none the wiser.
Entropy beat me to the punch (so to speak) on this post. My comments in Bold:
“models”: This is 90% of the “models” you run into in bars and clubs. The girl who says, “Oh, I used to model some,” or “I do a little modeling on the side.” What this translates into: she’s a prettiest one of her friends, all of which said she should try modeling.
Unfortunately, this is where most of the “I hooked up with a model last summer” or “She’s so hot, she used to model” stories come from.
These girls are almost more common in nightclubs than wack guys in glittery gay Ed Hardy shirts in the “Sand States”. Want to go to the easiest place in America to swoop these girls? Go to Las Vegas young G.
models: Lower-case ‘m’ models actually went a step further. They sent their portfolios out, they actually strutted in a couple shows, maybe their picture was actually used in a local magazine or on some club flyer or something. Still, these girls were never full-time professional. Regardless, this is the clear cut off for “this girl is legit hot.” Don’t care how small-time the show is, but you don’t walk a runway if you’re less than an 8.5.
Some of these girls end up in the Maxim “hometown honeys” section or Playboy’s College issue or becoming cheerleaders for sports-teams.
Some of these girls also end up in P0rn. Or high class escorting on the side.
Models: Models with a capital ‘M’. These are your legit, real-life 10’s. The women you see in Vogue, AX ads, Abercrombie posters. These are legit full-time models, bringing in solid money, traveling the world circuit between NYC, Paris, Milan and Asia.
NYC is the best place to swoop these girls in America. South Beach in the wintertime. French Riviera in summertime.
September 2008, the credit markets freeze up and the world economy enters a tailspin. Here in the states we are stricken with the sharpest economic decline since the great depression. Job creation dries up as companies simultaneously engage in vigorous cost cutting (read headcount reduction). A year later the Fed speaks of green shoots and a jobless recovery (is this an oxymoron or what?). Our present official unemployment rate hovers around 10% but this figure excludes those who no longer qualify for unemployment benefits, those who have given up the job search, and those who never broke into the job market in the first place. Enter Generation G, the Lost Generation. This article shows how youth are disproportionately suffering the effects of the decline in the job market and highlights the lasting effects this can have on their professional lives.
Bright, eager—and unwanted. While unemployment is ravaging just about every part of the global workforce, the most enduring harm is being done to young people who can’t grab onto the first rung of the career ladder.
Affected are a range of young people, from high school dropouts, to college grads, to newly minted lawyers and MBAs across the developed world from Britain to Japan. One indication: In the U.S., the unemployment rate for 16- to 24-year-olds has climbed to more than 18%, from 13% a year ago.
For people just starting their careers, the damage may be deep and long-lasting, potentially creating a kind of “lost generation.” Studies suggest that an extended period of youthful joblessness can significantly depress lifetime income as people get stuck in jobs that are beneath their capabilities, or come to be seen by employers as damaged goods.
Equally important, employers are likely to suffer from the scarring of a generation. The freshness and vitality young people bring to the workplace is missing. Tomorrow’s would-be star employees are on the sidelines, deprived of experience and losing motivation. In Japan, which has been down this road since the early 1990s, workers who started their careers a decade or more ago and are now in their 30s account for 6 in 10 reported cases of depression, stress, and work-related mental disabilities, according to the Japan Productivity Center for Socio-Economic Development.
…
Only 46% of people aged 16-24 had jobs in September, the lowest since the government began counting in 1948. The crisis is even hitting recent college graduates.
…
Most analyses of youth employment focus on people aged 16 to 24, which includes everyone from high school dropouts to wet-behind-the-ears college grads. But in this era of rising educational requirements, some people don’t start their careers until their mid or late 20s—and these young college grads are taking it on the chin as well.
According to a BusinessWeek analysis, college graduates aged 22 to 27 have fared worse than their older educated peers during the downturn. Two years ago, 84.4% of young grads had jobs, only somewhat lower than the 86.8% figure for college graduates aged 28 to 50. Since then, the employment gap between the two groups has almost doubled.
…
It seems strange at first blush that young people are the biggest victims of the current economic slump. One could easily imagine that companies in a recession would prefer to hire young people, who are cheap, and slough off older workers, who are expensive. But both employers and older workers are sitting tight, taking as few risks as possible in an uncertain environment. With no openings, employers are refusing even to look at the résumés of those on the outside looking in.
The sense of stasis in many Western countries is reminiscent of Japan, where talk of a lost generation has been around since as long ago as 1995. Some 3.1 million Japanese aged 25 to 34 work as temps or contract employees—up from 2 million 10 years ago, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Many Japanese blame the young people themselves, saying they are spoiled, alienated “freeters”—a term meaning job-hopping part-timers. But economist Souichi Ohta of Nagoya University argues that a big part of the problem is Japanese employers, who value long experience at their companies—which newcomers by definition don’t have.
Europe offers different lessons about what to avoid. In Spain, employers generally put older workers on long-term contracts that are hard to break. When demand slumps, they get rid of the younger workers, notes Alfredo Pastor, an economist at Spain’s IESE Business School and former Spanish Secretary of State for the Economy. That’s one reason Spain’s unemployment rate for 16- to 24-year-olds is a sky-high 39%. The rate is 24% in France and 19% in Britain.
Economists in several countries have studied the damage such high unemployment can cause. Kahn of Yale found that graduating from college in a bad economy has a long-lasting negative effect on wages. For each percentage-point rise in the unemployment rate, those who graduated during the recession earned 6% to 7% less in their first year of employment than their more fortunate counterparts. Even 15 years out of school, the recession graduates earned 2.5% less than those who began working in more prosperous times.
As we see here the negative effects of unemployment on youth entering the ostensible job market are both damaging and long-lasting. Their elders may scoff that they have no responsibilities or dependents, they aren’t approaching retirement, they don’t have seniority and should just suck it up. What they are saying in effect, is that they don’t matter, but they fail to realize they are creating a monster: disaffected youth. Youth are impressionable and their experiences at this phase of life can set them upon a path they will follow even when the job market improves. If there’s one thing we should recognize about humanity it’s that empathy is fostered only by reciprocity. Turn your back on this subset of the population and they will return the favor in kind. The fresh faced youth who enters the job market today might get a job and become a productive member of society. Theymight on the other hand experience months or years of rejection and poverty and hunger. Their optimism crushed and their sense of opportunities to come abolished, they will turn to crime to meet their needs. After all, it is well known that incidence of crime, particularly crime with financial motives is related to poverty and unemployment:
From 1979 to 1997, federal statistics show the inflation-adjusted wages of men without a college education fell by 20 percent. Despite declines after 1993, the property and violent crime rates (adjusted for changes in the country’s demographics) increased by 21 percent and 35 percent respectively during that period.
Weinberg said the strongest finding in this new study is a link between falling wages and property crimes such as burglary. However, the study also found a link between wages and some violent crimes – such as assault and robbery – in which money is often a motive.
The weakest relationship occurred with murder and rape – two crimes in which monetary gain is not usually a motive.
“The fact that murder and rape didn’t have much of a connection with wages and unemployment provides good evidence that many criminals are motivated by poor economic conditions to turn to crime,” Weinberg said.
The theory behind why crime increases in the wake of falling wages is simple, he said. “A decline in wages increases the relative payoff of criminal activity. It seems obvious that economic conditions should have an impact on crime, but few studies have systematically studied the issue.”
National crime rates rose from 1979 to 1992, when wages for less skilled men were falling. Crime declined from 1993 to 1997. This decline in crime corresponded to a leveling off and slight increase in the wages of unskilled workers across the nation in that period, Weinberg said.
Even for the gainfully employed the payoff is plummeting and the relative economic benefit of the thug life is increasing. We work harder and are more productive but compensation is flat to negative. These forces too will push more youth over to Generation G. (Click on Image below).
Add to this the widespread assimilation of thug culture, unprecedented access to guns and drugs, and it’s little stretch to see this time as the crucible forging a whole new generation of G’s. Our legion brethren are out there now, getting their knocks and exploring their alternative sources of income. Many of us already are leading double lives, chameleons by day if we are gainfully employed, but donning our G colors when dusk falls and hitting the streets in search of a better life and a little fun in the process. What’s not to love after all? The ladies love a G. Who wouldn’t love the easy money, the finer things in life and the unshakable respect that comes with being a cold-blooded G? It all adds up to a winning proposition compared with hunger and a life on the government dole begging for a shitty job at McDonald’s no?
People have always feared youth. They act differently, they don’t have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo and the accepted social order. They are faster, more technologically adept, better educated and stronger. Now they are being actively denied entry into this domain. Now there is good reason to be afraid of turning a generation of youth into a lost generation, Generation G. Be afraid, be very afraid: The G is gonna get you. Our ranks are growing by the day. Watch for Generation G coming soon to a block near you.
