Helping People Too Much

June 15, 2025September 12, 2025
by pharaoh

Being a leader is great and being generous is great too. However, there is a such thing as helping people too much. It’s ok to allow people to endure their own struggle. There is a difference between being someone’s help and being their crutch. You should know whether the relationship is mutual. Generosity should be reciprocated in order for the effort to maintain balance.

Learn The Lesson

This is a difficult lesson to learn but it is an essential one to learn. You have to accept that people must be left to solve their own problems or suffer through them. Everyone can not be helped. You can’t do it. Some people will always need a hand no natter what. At some point you’ll have to detach that life line that they so desperately cling to.

Be The Help But Not A Crutch

Help should be temporary. There is a point where a person should take over and begin livin their lives without the aid of another responsible adult. Sooner or later, they’ve got to be willing to take back control of the reins.

Terms Of Agreement

The term of this agreement is one year. Stick around with me and JBGODS for one year. Work with us for free. Watch the company grow from the inside. Also know, that I’m aware that we all have our obligations and we have other things that we would much rather do. So, whenever you are done with your commitment to the team, feel free to go.

This is the GodKing Pharaoh letting you know about our fleet of vehicles. After months and even years of planning, the JBGODS fleet is beginning to take shape. The company now has three cars and is expecting to add on one additional vehicle every month for the rest of the year.

Why A Fleet of Vehicles

The team needs to get around. Whether we are working in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis or Atlanta, we need to have immediate options available for transport. You may not know this but, the skaters on the JBGODS Skate Team get paid for their work. Example given, if you compete in a tournament and represent the team, JBGODS will pay you for your time and efforts, easy. That’s how it should be and that’s how it is here with JBGODS.

Leasing JBGODS Equipment

Towards the end of 2025 JBGODS will begin leasing branded vehicles in Chicago. Interested parties may send email inquiries to skate@jbgods.com. We are well on our way to incorporating the most dependable products and technology with our vehicles.

Lots of People At The Rink

June 9, 2025November 25, 2025
by pharaoh

There were a lot of familiar faces at the Rink on 87th yesterday. Among them was veteran JBSKATER Nick. This is one of those nights where there were lots of people at the Rink. The entire room was packed and the air was hot. It took very little movement to get your shirt and your body absolutely drenched in sweat.

The Rink Has a Little Make Over

There is a new painting on the far wall inside the Rink and it looks great. It seems to give the room more depth. The neon colors and the custom imagery give the room a look the reflects the current customer demographic. Although the wall mural looks really nice, it doesn’t make up for that lumpy skate floor. The Rink probably has the most deceptively dangerous skate floors in the city.

Slow Cyphers At The Rink

We get it. Everything about doing a cypher, we get it, they are fun. Not only are they fun, they are necessary. They build that sense of community that’s needed to keep our skate world thriving. It’s a little token that keeps people coming back. However, during cyphers at tonight’s session there must have been 30+ people in the same area. There was barely any space to skate.

Pharaoh is going on a journey and it looks like he’ll take JBGODS across the country and around the world all on his own.

Glenwood Now Has A Price Tag

May 31, 2025July 15, 2025
by pharaoh

Finally, the day has come, Glenwood now has a price tag. Glenwood Roller Rink is up for sell, as it should be. According to some unverified source, the price of the property is $750,000. That’s not bad at all. It’s about time Glenwood got new ownership. But, who is it going to be and what is going to change?? Looks like we’ll all just have to wait and see. – Pharaoh

The doors are closed at Glenwood Roller Rink.

Skaters Wait For The Doors To Open

Much of Chicago is well aware that the doors to Glenwood are closed. Skaters are talking about this iconic skating rink and having disclosed discussions about who may be the next to take over. The clear reality is that the skaters of Chicago need skating rinks. For other reasons, the city of Chicago and the suburb of Glenwood both need skating rinks. They are good for the economy. Our local skaters visit on a regular basis and contribute to their income. People from out of town travel to Chicago with the objective of visiting the rinks that Chicago skaters make popular.

A New Owner At Glenwood

Who’s going to be the one to swipe Glenwood’s new price tag. I know exactly what Glenwood needs to become the most powerful skating rink in the country. Smart investors would seek me out for my knowledge and information. People still have not learned that technology is the way. Creative solutions are required to reign prominent in this new world.

The Classic Martini

May 30, 2025September 7, 2025
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

May 30, 2025August 3, 2025
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 2025 Nominations for the JBGODS Rose Awards are closed.
