FINALLY FRIDAY AT THE YNOT TIMES
MICHAEL JACKSON
Where is he now? One thing for sure is, he is out of here. The man says that he was innocent , and he was found innocent.
Finally, it is all over. He has been a target for over 40years one way or another. Only he knows who he really is, and finally he has moved on with his life. He has worked over 40years in the Public Eye and that is the problem.
One thing for sure is that, it is Finally Friday at The Ynot Times and we here give praise to Michael Jackson and his family, because people will say and do anything for some fortune and fame.
Have you ever noticed one thing? Michael has not really said a word, THINK ABOUT IT.

SATISFYING SATURDAY AT THE YNOT TIMES
I am having a Satisfying Saturday and this issue came to mind, and I would not be satisfied unless I shared this with you all:
Hello Mothers,
please sit down and talk to your daughters and sons also. This world is brutal, Naomi Campbell has been in this business forever, and she can tell you about the bumps and the bruises, literally and so can Tyra Banks. It is very very rewarding, but if this is your plan A, you better have an A thru Z plan, this business is bigger than one individual will ever be.
Go for your dreams, but please have a plan and for gods sake, please make sure that your dreams are realistic. I personally think that we all should have an agent or a career counselor that can advise us from birth to our final days, but that is not realistic, but we all need some type of guidance. This world is bigger than I am, but I have a part to play as a PUBLISHER and I am giving it all I have got.
At my age , over 40, I know what to do in life, and I also know what not to do. If you don't do anything else, please please please, establish a foundation first for your family or future family, in other words buy that Real Estate, land isn't going anywhere.
Ok Mothers I can go on and on, if you have a son or a daughter wanting to pursue this field, which in THE HOOD, most of us do. Please give them more choices than that.
I was watching the movie - WHITE MEN CAN"T JUMP , and Woody Harelson told Wesley Snipes a power statement. He says that Black Men always want to look good first and WIN second, but White men, WIN forst and look good second.
Think about it, and explain this to your sons and daughters, especially us in THE HOOD, we get used up as far as our physical ability can takes us, but please explain to your children,that a Businessmans life is a lot longer than an athlete or a Model or an Entertainer, unless he or she is in charge of Their Own Money, now that is a Businessman or a Businesswoman, in other words have a DREAM, but please be in control of it, and always have a plan.
Naomi Campbell does, if she doesn't , I am sure someone else has plans for her. Good or Bad, she is making herself and others a TON of money, and guess who is making the most of her money? So please have a PLAN.

FINALLY FRIDAY AT THE YNOT TIMES
The Golf Course vs The Basketball Court Think about it all for a minute:
In almost every hood in the USA you have Basketball Courts, but you also have Golf Courses, as well within the same HOOD. WHY???? Those are the people who run the cities in which we live. Oakland, California for example:
You have 98th avenue, which is a main artery in the hood, littered with everything from one spectrum to another, on one end you have the suburbs above 98th avenue, on and the other end you have the HOOD, lower income housing and schools and yes basketball courts many of them. Further on down 98th Avenue you have the Golf Courses near the Oakland-Airport.... Now, the Golf Course crew is discussing what they are going to do with the Basketball Crew. I have a NEWSFLASH for you??????Guess who is in control????????Not someone who has a 50inch vertical leap......
Lets get to the point, The Golf Country Clubs are full of businessmen, lawyers,doctors,politicians, and sports agents, making decisions on the residents within THE HOOD, they are looking at the Basketball Crew up the street, and looking to pick one of them to showcase his talents and advertise their products and services, paying him /her millions and making them billions. There is nothing wrong with that: I am all for it: Think about this scenario:
What if you have 50 guys on the sidelines waiting to get on a 3 on three and you have another 50 guys who are the medical students,law students,future cpa's and they all are from the hood. RIGHT there, you have a whole community, a great big ENTERPRISE, created by THE HOOD and maintained by THE HOOD.
Please don't keep going down the same path, create more lawyers and doctors from the hood, sports is just another job. Create an economy off of a football,basketball and baseball. This is what the GOLF COURSE CREW does. Don't be mad at the Golf Course Crew, they are brilliant, be mad at The Basketball Crew, why? They are not creating an environment for THEIR BOYS to be Lawyers and Doctors, why not????? They have all of the money.. The Hood is The Host Of Outstanding Development, in a big way..... The Golf Course Crew knows this: Why not create a Country Club Environment with the Basketball Crew, make this a training ground for doctors - lawyers - accountants.. People in the Hood can do anything they choose to.
Do this: Go up the street to the planner of The Golf Course, and get the business plans and apply them to the Basketball Crew, create membership, business mixers, dinners, make it entertainment and business more business than entertainment..... Quit partying, because The Golf Course Crew is making money off of Partying more so than you think, who do you think owns all of the wine vineyards where liquor comes from...... JUST: Think JUST: Stop If you want your life to change, then stop doing what you have been doing.
Please do not be mad at the Golf Course Crew, they are just Keeping It Real: Just open your eyes, The Hood is comprised of a 2 Trillion Dollar a year group of people, and they all hang out and party, and play basketball,baseball and football. Not all of them, but many of them do. I am from The Hood , so I know.

THINKING THURSDAY AT THE YNOT TIMES
Read the specs below:
Think about this on Thinking Thursday - Have you ever spilled or dropped a laptop, then what:
Our new Toughnote Series M ruggedised laptop is the latest addition to our range of military grade rugged laptops built to perform in the most extreme of environmental conditions.
Featuring new Dothan Pentium M 1.6 GHz processors, advanced featureset and now up to 2 GB fast DDR RAM we now deliver even higher levels of market leading performance in the rugged computing field.
A range of multimedia modules and wired and wireless connectivity options are available. These enable maximum performance and efficiency wherever in the world your work takes you.
Our in-house design capabilities give you the option of an unrivalled level of customisation so the Toughnote can exactly meet your requirements.
With the ability to add an extra hot-swappable battery you can run the Toughnote laptops for over six hours non-stop
The Toughnote Series has been engineered from the outset to be the most rugged in its field. Each major component within the notebook is ruggedised from the inside out allowing for operation in the harshest environments.
Rubber corners and rubber covers for each port stop dust and water from damage.
The modular design of the Toughnote Series of laptops is quite unique. The sealed Flexi and hard drive bays prevent water/dust ingress into the machine core thereby maintaining the integrity of the motherboard.
The shock-mounted, waterproof 2.5" hard disk is removable which makes swapping data between machines and upgrading to a higher capacity HDD easy.
The Flexi-bay can hold either a secondary battery, DVD/CD RW, DVD-RW, CD-ROM or the FDD. All of these are removable and swappable.
Trust me, you will never go back to having a cute-sleek laptop again. This is manstyle all the way.

THE MERRILL LYNCH BULL,
I have a question for you all, What does this Bull mean to you?
For me , it means just what my Ynot Communications Logo means - POWER.
YOU NEVER OVERLOOK TALENT.
YNOT is a Brand all of its own, sure , you may have the same spelling elsewhere, but it will never ever mean the same for me as it does those other companies with similar names.
Think about it, all of this started in my brain 25years ago.

MONEY MONDAY AT THE YNOT TIMES
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,
This is a message to all of fortunate Athletes and Entertainers, I am proud of you all, get everything that you need, but having all of the above cars, is it worth it? Four to six are OK, but 30 cars just to say you have them. If you are a Collector Great, but that is not the case.
Look at the people of The Hurricane Disaster in New Orleans.
This is the worst money management advice that your Lawyers can give you. Once again I am proud of you all, but it is time to be more mindful of what you are doing. STOP , the frivolous spending. It is ridiculous. Some of you have the above cars 5 times over, not as a collection but just to drive. MTV cribs is showing the world your money management skills, trust me, there are a whole lot of athletes and Entertainers that wish they could do it over again. You are spending millions on cars and clothes and women.
You all can create a Law firm, a Venture Capitalist firm, a Bank , a Hospital etc. You all have billions if utilized the right way, Yes this is Money Monday at The YNOT TIMES, you all have an obligation, so please think think think. Slow down please and help the rest of the people.............
