Is This A Good Reading Log Of Paul Mccartneys Life?

by admin on Mar.01, 2010, under famous entrepreneurs

what should i improve in this?
Paul McCartney
I selected this person biography because he is a famous musician and he is a role model to many people. He is considered one of the most successful entertainers of all time.
Paul’s life was quite similar to mine when he grew up as a boy. He didn’t like homework, and he thought that playing the piano was boring. But as he grew up, his life became very different to mine because he began a life of stardom and popularity.
Paul McCartney has impressed me in many ways. He was knighted by the queen, singer, songwriter, composer, , entrepreneur, record producer, film producer, animal-rights activist and he could also play the bass, guitar ,piano ,drums ,mandolin ,trumpet and clarinet. McCartney appears in the Guinness Book of Records several times. Once for “Yesterday” which is listed as the most covered song in history with over 3000 versions existing.

Im A Writer Tell Me What You Think Of My New Novel. Some Of 1st Chapter?

by admin on Feb.28, 2010, under famous entrepreneurs

By now it was eight o clock, paparazzi were outside the queens park palace waiting for Lewis Carters to arrive at the conference. He would often do this to build suspense in the atmosphere and get all the people from his home town, Brooklyn, to cheer him on when he got there. James Husky was already in the building., he was Lewis Carters opponent and is the heavy weight champion. He has been fighting professional for 25 years and has been undefeated since he had the belt- he has had eight fights since he had had won the title and has either knocked his opponents out within the first two rounds or they have got so hurt in the fight from his deadly combinations of punches that the coaches and trainers have thrown in the towel. It was going to be the best fight since Muhammad Ali and Joe Frasier fought it out in the famous fight known commonly as the gorilla in manila. Husky was a fairly tall man with a muscular build, he had a very quick reacting mind in the ring, he was a powerful puncher and the unordinary thing about him is that he can fight either orthodox or southpaw stance in the ring. He was given the nickname James the power man Husky after knocking Fredson juniour out in the 2nd round with a lethal uppercut which knocked one of fredsons moulders out of his mouth blood was all over the ring and it was classed to be one of the most memorable fights in history. What made it unordinary was this was when he was in the cruiser weight and the power of the punch was the equivalent of Geroge Foremans awesome hooks.. James always stay focused on the aim of the fight which is to win and that integrity and spirit has won him most of his fights. A characteristic which made him stand outside the ring was that he was very crotchety this was also the case after his fights and in public. Whenever he was victorious over one of his fights he would always end up yelling at a bewildered reporter who he would end up either pushing onto the floor. Even though he was like this, it was what made him entertaining to watch and he is known to have one of the most amazing attitudes to live. In the conference room Husky was wearing an black swage suit with a black striped **** and blue aqua coloured tie, he was sitting in there patiently waiting for the conference to progress.
While James Husky was inside sitting on lined table on the right side of the room sipping his glass of squeezed lemon, loud chaotic noises were coming from outside. Husky got out of his Brown leather chair and looked outside the window and developed a tormenting smile. Outside was a large Grey gold plated 550 Ferrari Maranello, it was being blocked by a crowd and the car was unable to move forward so it pulled to the side of the curve and stopped. The passengers door was opened and Bobby Norton approached onto the road. Bobby Norton was Lewis Carters promoter and had been his promoter for years. He was experienced at what he did and was also a promoter of other great fighters like Ben Gills Olympic silver medallist in welter weight and also Benvollio Dulcet heavy weight champion from 1997 to 1998 however he was less popular when he was defeated by “James the power man Husky” in 1998. Norton was a very popular man also known for when he used to be a entrepreneur for many successful training businesses located all over the States and Europe however he gave all his businesses to his oldest son Thomas Norton mainly due to being so busy in his promoting work. On the other hand nobody really cared about his career professions just cared about him being a good looking multi millionaire mainly because of the many privatized companies that he owns. Which could be anything leisure companies, electronics or even a broad way drug racket for a mob living in little Italy but who knows nobody really tried to get on his bad side in public and in the media, due to the several people who have crossed him in their lives have received extra attention from his body guards which isn’t a pretty site.

What Do You Think About Master P Changing His Name To P. Miller?

by admin on Feb.28, 2010, under famous entrepreneurs

I think he just pulled a Puffy/ P. Diddy/ Sean Combs/ Diddy….
lol he released this statement about his name change:
“I am changing my name because Master P is who I used to be, I call it my childhood and P. Miller marks my manhood. I wouldn’t change my past because it has groomed me to be the man I am today. Growing up has nothing to do with age. People grow up mentally and spiritually through life experiences, but when you come from hip-hop it is almost impossible to get past the stereo-type it associates you with. I will always love hip-hop; it plays a major role in who I am today. I have branched out into so many different arenas that range from being the first African-American to have a clothing line at Wal-Mart, to writing books, and speaking on Capitol Hill, but all of that gets overshadowed because I come from the hip hop industry. It’s important for young hip-hop artists to know that they are not limited to one career, they can educate themselves, and prepare for life after hip-hop the same way pro-athletes prepare themselves for life after sports. Also, know that you can branch out into other avenues if you are multi-talented or have other dreams. My dream was to enter corporate America, my son’s dream is to go to college and play basketball, and Will Smith’s was to be a famous actor. Many of us can begin new careers, take advantage of different opportunities and still remain true to hip-hop.
There are a lot of people out there, who are afraid to grow up and change, but I’m not and P. Miller is the evolution of me, Percy Miller the entrepreneur, the businessman. My goal is to educate the hip-hop culture now and if they don’t get it, then hopefully their kids will get it and understand. My fellow hip-hop artists should know that we can’t rap forever. I’m glad I’m in a position in my life where I don’t have to put out music because I’ve prepared myself for the future. To build the generational wealth we have to educate our families. That’s why my son is going to college. Fifteen years later I’m still successful because I’ve realized the importance of education, growing up, and responsibility.”

While James Husky was inside sitting on lined table on the right side of the room sipping his glass of squeezed lemon, loud chaotic noises were coming from outside. Outside was a large Grey gold plated 550 Ferrari Maranello. It had top of the rand platinum rims everyone in the neighbourhood could hear its engine roaring whilst pouncing foward , it was being blocked by a crowd and the car was unable to move forward so it pulled to the side of the curve and stopped. The passengers door was opened and Bobby Norton approached onto the road. Bobby Norton was Lewis Carters promoter and had been his promoter for years. He was experienced at what he did and was also a promoter of other great fighters like Ben Gills Olympic silver medallist in welter weight and also Benvollio Dulcet heavy weight champion from 1997 to 1998 however he was less popular when he was defeated by “James the power man Husky” in 1998.

Ferraris back seat couldn’t be seen through because of the tinted windows. Suddenly the doors opened and Jerry Carters came out of the back seat , Jerry was Lewis’s uncle and trainer. Five years he has been training Lewis to become the ultimate boxing fighter, Lewis used to be trained by his father ,Carl Carters, however he was killed whilst locking up the gym on a week night. He was stabbed retentively in
the back while locking the gyms front doors.
Even though Lewis lost his father at such a important part in his life their dream was to make Lewis become heavyweight champion by the time he reached his Forties. Lewis knew he was undefeated for five fights in a row when his father was killed. It somehow struck him in his mind that whoever killed his father wanted him dead to stop Lewis achieving his potential. He knew it and so did his uncle Jerry and he was determined to become the worlds most magnificent fighter in the states. Local media stations have been announcing the fight for weeks knowing it will be great, this fight is what Lewis has been waiting for with Forty wins and zero losses. Every time he trained in the gym his father was last seen, every time he goes for jogs he thinks he would never of got were he is if his father didn’t inspire him. So the least he could do I share the dream with his father in the after world to become undisputed heavy weight champion “ Carter the king of aces” he was given this name by his mother when he was only nine years of age because he was acing every completion he went to. The fight will be Huskys hardest challenge and it will be a incredible bout between the two but disputes have been argued saying Carter will knock Husky out in the first round because of his great speed, power and confident personality. Lewis climbed out of the car with a black suit on with a red shirt without a tie. The roaring was incredible all his fans were putting there hands out but he just walked forward not showing just a few respect he believed is you shake one mans hand ,you, should shake every ones. ‘Hearing a commotion outside, Husky stood up and strode to the window. Looking down onto the sidewalk, he caught a glance of his fight opponent entering the building. ‘Fool,’ Husky thought to himself with a nasty smile as he ambled back to the brown leather chair, ‘Going to knock him out in one go.’
Menacingly Lewis walked through the brown, oak doors and walked through the lounge which had some newspapers photographers. Willingly to take pictures they snapped away but he ignored every flash . Walking into the main conference room. Shockingly he ran up towards Husky and got ready to throw a hook while Husky was sitting off guard. With quick reactions Husky moved out of the way pushing the chair over and causing a load sensational sound of cold leather touching the limestone floor.

Celebrity Gossip In America?

by admin on Feb.27, 2010, under famous entrepreneurs

How do you feel about the Hollywood scene? Glamorous and exotic, crazy and trashy, I’d love to be in the middle of it, I like to enjoy it from afar, it’s fun to keep an eye on?
What does visiting sites such as perezhilton.com, tmz.com and wwtdd.com do for you? Does it make you feel connected to celebrities, do you use it as an example of which to live (or of which not to live), do you like to make fun of the ridiculousness?
How often do you visit celebrity gossip websites? Once a day, multiple times a day, when I think about it, once a week, when something big happens involving the entertainment industry?
Have you ever commented on one of the articles?
Think about the possibility of you being able to interview any famous person (living or dead). Is the person you picked well known for acting, singing, an entrepreneur, an heir(ess), a fashion designer, news anchor?
Why would you choose to interview that person?
Are you more likely to go to websites or printed news for current events?

Should Sites Like Www.dontdatehimgirl.com Be Shut Down?

by admin on Feb.26, 2010, under famous entrepreneurs

DontDateHimGirl.com created a buzz last year when it launched a free searchable database of men accused of infidelity by their ex-lovers, wives and girlfriends. Critics warned it was only a matter of time until the South Florida-based website made famous for dishing up tales of deceit was itself served with a lawsuit.
Their prediction has come true: Nearly a year after Miami Beach entrepreneur Tasha Joseph founded the site, a Pennsylvania man has sued the company, claiming defamation by Joseph and four women who posted disparaging comments about him in the online forum. Pittsburgh lawyer Todd Hollis filed a complaint Thursday after anonymous postings appeared on the website accusing him of passing on a sexually transmitted disease, bisexuality and dating multiple women while claiming fidelity — accusations he said are untrue and damaging to his reputation. http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/149…

I’m Been Discouraged To Go The (summer) Olympics (participating In The Olympics). What Should I Do?

by admin on Feb.26, 2010, under famous entrepreneurs

I want to participating in the Olympics (swimming) because I want to win a medal. I want to be similar to Michael Phelps. I’m been discouraged because I didn’t have training when I was young. I was told that I can only be a attorney, entrepreneur, physician, and /or a teacher. I do also want to be a professional (doctor, lawyer) but also swim too. I can compare a graduation ceremony vs. a medal ceremony. For example, the graduation ceremony is not on TV but the medal ceremony is on TV internationally. I want to become famous and be on commercials (ads). There are benefits of being famous; example: having a Wikipedia article about me and being. I started swimming when I was 9 in the summer time. I tried to dive but can only jump do I quit diving. I would swim rather to dive. The past days, I want faster than before but not that fast that Michael Phelps. I will try my best to be fast like him. What can I do to complete in the Olympics and be famous too? Should I join the YMCA for practice?
