The Classic Martini at The Gage on Michigan Food

The Classic Martini

  • by pharaoh

I give my highest recommendation for The Classic Martini at The Gage on Michigan. They get the highest, top rose from me. The cocktails are great. If that’s your style, start with the Seasonal Cobbler. It tastes good and the alcohol content is low, I give it a 7 out of 10. Taste and alcohol content are the top grading points to me. With that, I give the Sour Cherry Boulevardier a 3. It tastes like orange peels but the alcohol content is reasonable. Finally, this review gives you their classic martini, The Classic. It tastes like a martini and it hits like one. They spear on an olive the size of a walnut with a lemon peel inside, 7 out of 10. Go to The Gage, enjoy the hospitality, enjoy the ambiance and the crowd and enjoy the menu. – TGKP

It’s Ok To Take A Day Off

  • by pharaoh

Some days your mind and your body just need a rest. This could be a day where you know that you could do more but you just need to do nothing for a while. It’s ok. That’s called rest and recovery. Be encouraged to get that sleep, that rest and that nutrition. Working as much as you can as often as you can is admirable. Taking a break is mandatory, your body and your mind both need it. – Pharaoh

Know Your Limits

Work hard to achieve your goals. Keep going and never give up. Set short term milestones and plan for rest. You will damage your health when you work without getting adequate sleep and rest. You can very well kill yourself from over exertion. No one wants that to happen at all. Many people brag about how they work endless hours and how they function on only 4 hours of sleep but take heed to this advice. Be careful. If you push your body too far, your brain will turn the lights off and you’ll have a cool meeting with death.

Exercise limitations. Limit your working hours and your output for your own safety. It won’t serve you to get sick trying to get rich. You’ll spend all of your rich years paying for year battered body.

Be Kind To Yourself

You do need to be tough but don’t be tough on yourself, the world is going to do that for you. Be kind to your mind and be kind to your body. You’ll find that you can heal your body just by the way that you treat yourself.

The GodKing Pharaoh has prepared 25 all new, original JBSKATE songs for the 2025 summer album by JBGODS called the Book of Judgement. Follow JBGODS on all streaming platforms and get ready for drop day, you won’t regret it. The JBSKATE culture is too strong.

New Speed Cameras In Chicago Chicago

New Speed Cameras In Chicago

  • by pharaoh

If you like to exceed the speed limit in the city, there is a new speed trap that might encourage you to slow yourself down. There are now tactical speed cameras tracking your speed and they are easy to miss. These new cameras are compact and black so they keep a slimmer, darker profile. They aren’t the large, bulky white ones that we are used to, no. It’s easy to fly right past these ones without noticing them. You don’t get that distant warning with that large, bright flash. That feature is gone now. Be careful!! Slow down in the city. – Pharaoh

Drive Slow Anyway

Everyone is always in a rush. It is not at all necessary to drive at 50 miles per hour through residential streets. You’ll get there, relax. Get used to taking your time. This is how you avoid accidents and tickets. We have enough to pay for already. Don’t let these new speed cameras in Chicago cost you even more money.

A Skate Session In Dolton Tonight Skate Sessions

A Skate Session In Dolton Tonight

  • by pharaoh

Word has lightly spread that there is a skate session in Dolton tonight. The Gods may pay a visit. Skate moments become permanent marks in history when the Gods are present. – Pharaoh

Skating Outdoors In Dolton

Pharaoh has not yet visited the Dolton rink. Maybe some day he’ll bless the area with his presence. He’s not the biggest fan of skating outside. Although Pharaoh does enjoy getting a good sweat, there’s just something about sweating outside during a session that he doesn’t like.

A Moment With The Gods Is History

JBGODS is the most independent and structured organization in JBSKATING. When the Gods take part in an event, it is sure to be remembered. Events of the skate session in Dolton tonight are now etched into the recordings of history.

The Rink On A Saturday Skate Sessions

The Rink On A Saturday

  • by pharaoh

The GodKing Pharaoh is planning on visiting the Rink on a Saturday night. Let’s see what the music and the vibe is like before Sunday.

Saturday night’s session did not get an immediate review from Pharaoh. As a result, we have no idea what he thought of it.

The Rink On Instagram

Pharaoh might have posted a live video to the JBGODS account on Instagram during the session. We honestly don’t remember what he said about the session and he doesn’t remember how it was. No one knows if that is a good or bad things.

The Rink On A Diet

Pharaoh does not normally go to the Rink. You would normally see him at Glenwood on Mondays and Wednesdays. He’s stopping by the Rink on a Saturday since there is no more Glenwood.

Are We Just Terrified Pharaoh

Are We Just Terrified

  • by pharaoh

Maybe we all are just terrified, terrified of life, living, experiencing and failing. Everyone wants to go through life and find out stuff the easy way. There’s no way that everyone can really live expecting no obstacles, challenges and detours along the route. It’s impossible to avoid. But, at some point, the smart person is going to give up. Of course. – Pharaoh

Motivational Quotes for Students

Are We Just Lost

I’ve recently discovered something very important about myself . I had a void that I needed to fill. Temporarily, I could take care of it with a certain habit that I won’t share. The fix was apparent but the problem still eluded me. There was a void that I could not identify. What an interesting situation.

Cool Weather On May 23rd Swag

Cool Weather On May 23rd

  • by pharaoh

Today brings us cool weather on May 23rd. It is another day in the chilly gray fog of Chicago. Hopefully the mist will soon subside and we’ll get some much more attractive summer weather. – Pharaoh

Waiting For Summer

The month of May is almost finished and the weather is still chilly. What a disappointment. Global warming must really be affecting our climate for cool weather to last so late into the year.

Give Up On Yourself Latest News

Give Up On Yourself

  • by pharaoh

One thing that I’ve learned to count on is the likelihood that you are going to give up on yourself. It doesn’t matter what the goal is, how achievable or unrealistic. My baseline belief in all of the human beings around me is that they will give up. That’s the most sensible thing for them to do. You could suffer immensely just for this thing that you want or you could bring all of the suffrage to an end by quitting. No more of that “believing in people” mentality will continue, especially when people don’t believe in themselves. So, go right ahead, quit. – The GodKing Pharaoh

Can’t Give Up On Myself

I have more confidence in me than I have in anyone. Quitting is never an option. Never quit, never give up. I’ve yet to meet someone with my endurance and unwavering determination. They all quit trying sooner or later. Usually, the first time an obstacle arises, they’ll throw in the towel.
