Finished reading Crush It! Why Now is the Time to Cash in on your Passion by Gary Vaynerchuk a few weeks ago. Good read.

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 say buy it.

Los 800 – 2004 – Red Wine from Priorat

» 08 August 2009 » In Food, Wine » 2 Comments

Los 800 – 2004 – Red Wine from Priorat

Here is a great big wine to drink: Los 800 – 2004 – Red Wine from Priorat.

Great for day swooping and eating with some Lomo Iberico de Bellota

Two hours from Barcelona, and a world away, lies the tiny wine region called Priorat. The remote rocky hills produce intense, full reds that many consider to be among Spain’s elite wines. The secret is in the slate filled soil, called llicorella in Catalan, and the extreme weather of the region. Grape vines on the roughly 4,000 acres of steep hills suffer hot dry summers and severe cold winters creating low yield grape vines that provide concentrated flavor. The region’s innovative winemakers have created a style that has become one of the hottest trends in wine. Continue

COMPOSITION: 50% Grenache, 30% Carignan, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah

Easy Way to Make Paella

Easy Way to Make Paella

Click Here for Easy Paella

I typically make Paella from scratch.

But this weekend, day style, I whipped up some easy Paella while swooping a fly Peruviana-Mexicana Girl.

Popped open a bottle of Bodegas Emilio Moro – Malleolus 2006 Red Wine, to help Grease the deal.

Perfecto.

Y muy facil.

The Del Mar Racetrack Checklist

The Del Mar Racetrack Checklist

In the past we broke down the Checklist for a Night Out, an invaluable reference sheet for an up and coming International Playboy on the Rise.

Today, your Favorite International Playboy’s Favorite International Playboy will break down The Del Mar Racetrack Checklist:

CASH
Make sure you take out mad dough before going to the track. Style Points. Bankroll Factor. You already should have made it, but here is How to make money in a Down Economy.

Haircut
I always like to get a haircut before Track Season starts. When you have spent the last 6 weeks swooping topless girls in Spain (La Cote des Basques and the Med) your hair tends to grow. Must be the Mediterranean diet. Or the Basque seafood. Or the vino tinto. (The G Manifesto’s How to Pick up Topless Girls coming soon)

Suits
Make sure you get plenty of new custom suits made. Light colors all. Signature Cookie Monster Blue interior. And get your Pocket Square Game Tight.

Zippos
Make sure all your Zippos, Dunhills, and Dupont lighters are filled to the brim and have good action. Bring a minimum 3 packs of smokes.

Drugs (Optional)
Beeks and Beans are still mad popular. As Bill Maher says, “People are doing as much Cocaine as they did in the 80’s. They just aren’t sharing it anymore.” Careful in this heat when you are on the beeks though.

Real Time with Bill Maher: New Rules – July 17 2009

Enter The Dragon
Get your rounds in. They will pay dividends. I would be lying to you if I didn’t tell you I am in amazing shape. (Getting slotted and swooping Topless girls will do that to you.) The G Manifesto’s Exit The Dragon, Enter The Cobra coming soon.

Heater
Breathe again. Because I don’t do extortion unless I am on the receiving end.

Turf Club

Make sure you get your Turf Club scenario ironed out. (I just got my re-upped membership in the mail). Or else you will be with the buffoons in the suspect Glittery Ed Hardy Shirts, looking like a nonce, drinking out of plastic with no air conditioning..

3 O’clock Fridays
Remember, this year Friday’s at the Track start at 3 O’clock not 4. In case you missed my breaking article.

There are a couple of other tricks I have up my high arm-holed sleeve of my Neapolitan suit, but I am saving them for now.

Why?

Do me a favor.

That’s it for now.

If you do all this, you should be hitting a Trifecta or at least a Trio.
