Give Up On Yourself

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, give up. – The GodKing Pharaoh

Of Course It’s Cold Again

We are in the middle of May and I have to turn my heat on again. The weather has certainly been inconsistent. It’s not a terrible thing but some warm weather through the summer months would be nice.

Pharaoh Made A Request And RedBull Responded

RedBull responded to showing up to Pharaoh’s freeway stunt. They’ll either provide samples or product sells to the crowd. This is a good deal. We’ll plan the event for about two months away from now so that vendors will have time for preparation. In the meantime, Pharaoh will begin some intense training and communication with the city of Chicago to prepare for this stunt. Stay connected to find out more.


Will Pharaoh be the next JBSKATER to land the axel?? He’s been working on it for so long, yet the results haven’t shown much progress.

Will Pharaoh Be The Next JBSKATER To Land An…

With much preparation, practice and study, Pharaoh is working to land the axel jump. Axels are notoriously difficult to do but they are some of the best techniques to see. No athletic skill is more important for a JBGOD to accomplish than speed and jumps. Will Pharaoh be the next JBSKATER to land an axel?? Stay in touch to find out. If you don’t know it by now, one of the hallmarks of being a JBGOD is to skate fast, do jumps and attempt some new stunts.

Yehoshua Faced KenDraco In Yesterday’s Battle

Some windy weather followed by a slight tornado warning swept through Chicago and the surrounding areas yesterday. However, battles still ensued. JBGODS team skater Yehoshua battled against KenDraco yesterday and took his first competition loss. Yehoshua now has a pro skate record of 0 wins and 1 loss.

Yehoshua did take a loss, and that is ok. His presence alone in the competition only reinforces his nomination for Best New Skater. He’s got about three years of experience as a skater and he is doing quite well. As a JBGOD, the demand is always high for more jumps, more speed and more stunts.

It’s Time For A New Pair Of Dress Shoes

After years of going from job to job with an interest in being financially independent, I’ve learned a special value in wardrobe. It’s important to have your own business attire. Jobs are so comforting and wearing their workplace gear can make you forget about your own. I think it’s important to have dress clothes that you can wear for any corporate environment. Having multiple pairs of each is just as important. Sports shoes and casual footwear are both fun to collect. But there is so much more security in owning three pairs of black dress shoes and three black suits to match.
