but work and chillin
it was my Mom’s bday and my former boss/mentor Dr. Dre’s birthday this past saturday…. I remember back in the day I used to see my mom during the day time and head to Dre’s dinner party at nighttime or vice versa depending on what day it was… one time he rented out the entire roof top of the Transamerica building and flew in on a helicopter… shit was swag. anyways, rambling….

had a nice japanese dinner at Torafuku, it’s similar to Robata JinYa, but on the westside across the street from the Westside pavilion

anyways, shout out to my boy Marvin and Renzo in NYC who hooked up the big H constance belt. you would think at well over a $tack, these wouldn’t be so hard to get, but yeah, them shits are on such a long waiting list that Rodeo Drive won’t even put anymore names on their list. smh… I’m talking like 70+ names at each location for a damn belt? well I got mines! and they shipped it next day air!




thanks again for real to Marv and Renzo! mad love to both of y’all… I need another one now, just because! haha

so yeah, a belt, nobody cares…. I’m actually hyped. I got a grip of belts… and Diamond Supply came out with this new Bull Denim and it’s slim, but not skinny and they’re perfect. they came in Navy Blue and Forrest Green and they were made in japan… I’m wearing the green joints above and they are swag!

I got 4 days left til the big day. Even though we got married in september…. crazy how this event is pretty much here, probably explains why I haven’t blogged much. I will get back into it heavy again soon though…. slow motion for now.

here’s some more boring shit

the line was no joke… first time I used the drive thru and the line went around as if they were giving them shits away for free smh…. but I got home and broke out the polynesian and chick fil-A sauce and the sriracha and the Rose’? you know any time is good to pop a bottle. (please don’t pop boxes. I saw some boxed champagne and that shit is not the business)

so this is some regular ass shit because I’m a regular ass guy. I can’t wait to hit the caribbean in 10 days. I’m gonna eat like a mother fucker. Cokes, Iced Vanilla Lattes, pizza, all the above. until I get sick. seriously, this diet shit is for the birds!

nothing else to say today
been getting a lot of requests for 18k gold, but only 5% of the people who request it can actually afford it. it’s crazy, people are still broke and going through tough times, but that’s why I stack and still stack. 5 years ago everyone had money… that’s why my grind has to be even better than anyone else’s. it’s really only 10% of the world who can afford genuine fine jewelry, so don’t feel bad. it’s not for everyone. this blog isn’t only about jewelry, that’s just my business. it’s about my lifestyle. I hit every end of the spectrum. I was a late bloomer in every field I loved… if I had an extra year in college, or really an extra 3 years, I would have done better… if I had a few more years in the music game I woulda been a mogul, but I just fully absorb all the business of either, but this game now? it has no expiration date and I’m not only fully seasoned… I’m only getting better and better. so any of y’all who feel discouraged and up against the world; don’t trip. it’ll happen, but that’s if you got it. I knew I had it. I knew I was a hustler, I just had to find my home and my niche.

enough…
peace

    Liked the ending of the post..all i know is hustle. never held a job up until a few years ago. Havent found my niche or my home. im 24 going on 25. hoping my vision becomes clear b/c i am a hustler at heart, turning nothing into something is what ive grown accustomed to. So this finding my niche thing is tough..especially doing it legally.

    Yo Ben, your blog is mad inspiring EVERYTIME I look at it. I didn’t know who you were til a couple weeks ago, but now I’m checking daily to see some new words lol.

    Thanks a lot man for keeping the hope up for all of us who hadn’t made it yet, and glad to see with everything you got you’re still humble about it and take time out to show others.

    Just when I was gonna quote the following, someone beat me to it. Fuck it, I’ll post it up again.

    “so any of y’all who feel discouraged and up against the world; don’t trip. it’ll happen, but that’s if you got it. I knew I had it. I knew I was a hustler, I just had to find my home and my niche.”

    Tough.

    Fantastic closing, Ben! Thanks for the inspiration! Blessings to you and Nic.

    Powerful words but I gotta ask man lol I been back and forth over who to cop from you or Johnny Dang and I’m always leaning towards yo side ckuz I read some reviews bout tv johnny using fake diamonds, one customer said her diamond she purchased broke, and his company responded to the claim by sayin that diamonds do break which we all should know that’s not true. I plan on spending ALOT of money on this piece and I ain’t tryin to get took. As a person not a business man would you say they doing square business over there like to say they good jewelers or is the whole set up bogus. Ive heard nothin but good bout your company so its definate I cop somethin from you but this first costume piece is big so I’m shopping for a good price on a piece that size.
