Short story: So we’re kicking it at Mickey’s Hangover this afternoon to catch some of their legendary brunch and the Lions/Cowboys game is on. A die-hard Lions fan buddy is stoked as shit about the victory the depressing Lions are about to pull out of their asses from the 11-1 Cowboys. He says something like “ya right Cowboys! march down that field with two minutes left and 85 yards to go. haha. not gonna happen you idiots!”
Moral of the story: Time to switch up teams. Wonder who won???
So, in classic Gluck Family form, the ‘rents were on a leisurely stroll to Men’s Wearhouse (don’t ask me why, that’s disgusting!) this Sunday afternoon and apparently tripped into a Mercedes dealership for a totally unnecessary, impromptu purchase of a C300 for Mama Gluck. 2 things wrong here: first is Papa Gluck’s continuing inability to not spend ridiculous amounts of money on his family FOR NO APPARENT REASON (i know… effing ridiculousness!); case in point, younger brother Mikey just received a $1300 paint ball gun! Seriously?! What the hell on a paintball gun costs $1300?! And of course none of his friends have that top model; those poor bastards have to settle for $250 ones from K-Mart or make-shift ones their Dad’s built them from sandpaper and piping out of “love.” Haha. Anyways… Second reason why this latest Gluck household purchase is ridiculousness is that… wait for it… wait for it… MY MOM DOESN’T DRIVE!!!
Ya, you read it right. Mrs. Gluck does not enjoy driving. So much so, that her driving distance limit is (literally) four blocks to drop little Mikey at school (compounded by the fact that all effing side streets are used… i know this because we had to spend six hours this past summer driving around with Mother to plan out the best route in preparation for Mikey entering High School this year). But in the world of Glucks this is nothing shocking or out of the norm… crazy, but true.
SIDENOTE: Thought it would be precious to point out here that my LITTLE brother Mikey is 14 and gargantuon at 6 feet and growing, while his OLDER brother Me is over nine years his senior and is probably considered the average height… for a woman. Laugh it up! He sure as hell does! Fuck it, at least i have my wit to get through the days.
SIDENOTE 2: I don’t want anyone walking away with the impression that Jonny Gluckers gets that special Family financial treatment anymore. Nopers! ICONIC is legendary enough to pay the bills and have money left over for hookers (not real ones). Although i bet if i go home to visit the Fam and ask Pops to take a random ride with me to Target that I’ll somehow end up flying back in a Learjet. Why not!
An interesting statistic that i came across while sifting through a www.FastCompany.com article by master-networker Keith Ferrazzi.
“If you work alone, you’re not alone. One-person businesses are ‘approximately 78 percent of the nation’s 26 million-plus firms,’ says the Census Bureau.”

Now, we’re not implying that ICONIC is a one-person shop, because we do have a lot of great people on staff who are helping grow the company. Just thought it was a stat to take notice of. That’s all!

Read this article that was written by famous Republican strategist Karl Rove and appeared on FinancialTimes.com:

First of all, Karl Rove is a badass. The guy is a political genius and is as powerful as it gets in Washington! This open letter is beautiful strategy. While it may seem that he is being a nice guy and just trying to offer a helping hand to Barack Obama, he is actually: #1 subtely pointing out both Clinton and Obama weaknesses in one fell swoop for the public (he is dead on by the way!), #2 getting people to read and accept the article because it comes off as advice from one friend to another (which is laughable), #3 making sure people understand that if Obama doesn’t win in Iowa (the nation’s first caucus coming up on January 3rd 2008… it really is a big effing deal to win it!), then Clinton is a sure thing for the nomination. And what happens if Obama wins in Iowa? Clinton is no longer the shoe-in, Obama gains ginormous momentum, fast-forward to Obama might actually pull off the nomination, and then, Republicans win the presidency!!! VERY SMART ROVINATOR! Karl Rove knows that only Hillary and Obama have a chance of being the democratic presidential nominee. If it’s Clinton, she becomes President (long story on why it’s true, but it is)… if it’s Obama, Republicans rip him to shreds during the general election process because he simply is a joke of a candidate this time around. 2 years as a US Senator is the only serious experience the guy has so that makes him worthless as President. A cute run but way too premature. Maybe in 2016 big guy! Don’t even try for 2012.
