The Crossroads – Soul Progression vs. Soul Regression

(T.G.I.F.) Thank God It’s Freeday!

Thank you for tuning in during the week, and in regards to an explanation as to why I have been away for the whole of last week, you would most likely NOT believe me if I told you so I will wait for a later date to show you for yourself with your own eyes so that you can form a more informed belief decision.

During my time away, I had a chance to thoroughly ponder on this thing that we use to relate and communicate known as
the web, and the past, present,and estimated future of whats to come via these words and pictures on the screen.

Since I am away from my usual location and not feeling talkative, I will keep it brief.

From what I have observed over the past ten years, the word that describes it best is change, working in two directions which are better and worse.

When confronted with uncertainty, people will make one of two decisions that will lead to overall end results.

The first decision is REGRESSION.
This is the choice that people make who are in fear of the unknown, and its most popular version, known as the future. When elements are presented that pose an uncertain future, this individual will seek out comfort in that which is familiar to them in regards to people, places, and things. When this is the state of affairs, we will notice a lack of movement and progress, and a redundancy of what already exists with out any departure from it, or evolution of it with an actual result of moving backwards and in the opposite direction of growth.

The other decision is PROGRESSION.
This is a choice that people make who await and embrace the unknown, and its most popular version known as the future. Their thoughts look to fill in the blanks of what the future will bring through the creation of people, places and things and associated conditions which are a result of them, meaning they seek to make a better way and use the situation of change in the present time as inspiration and opportunity to develop anew.

This by no means is a judgment call comparison between the two as both have their equal share of comforts and displeasure. It is to say that again, each has its lasting end result, and both are revealed through the process of time, which is how we as humans measure change.

In closing, as of late, I have been attracting and gravitating towards more

creative souls, with actual clear and articulate visions of how things should be, as well as a tenacity for using their powers to make it so, and they are usually confronted with the counter effect of the fear factor with people, places, and things that are reluctant to evolve through a fear of change hence the dividing line known as the crossroads has been drawn on the map to avoid a traffic jam.

I will be dedicating more of my time to providing support systems and services for these types of individuals, as the truth will again show that this online publication was developed in large part for others to have their voice in regards to solutions that work for the betterment of self others, so with that said, I invite you to choose your own path as time waits for no one and each will at some point be marginalized to a direction.

Stay Tuned.

okay …..I digress……..

Yes as you all know, my name is Veruska…….I am 37 years YOUNG……

that’s right…….

I’M ONLY  getting BETTER…..BETTER LOOKING…..and yes…..YOUNGER LOOKING goes hand in hand with that…..so there….

it’s my world after all……and i make up the rules as i go along….

moment to moment……

creation after creation…….

I am an aquariASS…..

and a VERY busy one i may add….

besides being a woman that loves to write a blog named “VIBRATIONS”….

I am a hair stylist……..

I currently  manage Meleesa The Salon, in downtown  Huntington Beach, Ca….

I am also the proud mother to my seven year old daughter, Maya….

I have many dreams that in this very moment are being fulfilled…..

At the moment…..I am going through a metamorphosis…….

i am as we speak or i should say as you read this going through a major transformation…….

and through this journey…we will be talking about all kinds of subjects….

through my eyes…….

it makes me think right now ….about my daughter….who happens to be autistic…

an well she sees the world in her own abstract way…..

which in my eyes…is quite beautiful…

but the more i think about it,,,,

we are not to far off,,,,,,,

we all look at the world just the same….

through our unique abstract way…

i know i do…

i look at it straight on..

then from the side……

to the other side…

from the back ….

and straight on again….

its called perspective….

and the fun part of life is that perspective …

always…..changes and take on it own abstract point of view…..or it can just present itself…

as is….

just what it is….

Fisker Karma Plug In

Our apologies for not updating the auto section as often as we used to, yet the same rules still apply which is that everything, including but not limited to automobiles, must meet Official PimpHop Approved Standards.

We introduced many individuals to the
Fisker Coachbuild brand back in 2007 and were amazed to find that most individuals were not familiar with the company and its products.

Sometimes, it is better this way, as I also added them to my personal list of brands that I like on Facebook, yet to my surprise again, I learned that out of the now one half billion active users on Facebook, only 203 users are currently listed on their page as enthusiasts.

You can do your own research on the vehicle and company by simply clicking the first hyperlink at the beginning of this entry, which  is the name of the organization highlighted in blue, and see what set them apart from the rest of the automotive industry, before they decided to upgrade their standards even further by adding a hybrid plug in model to their menu.

In the meantime, we will do the footwork to see if we can get additional insider news for your viewing pleasure as they are also a Southern California based company and we are an online publication that is positioned to offer
publicity solutions for quality products that may otherwise go unnoticed on the web and associated popular social media outlets.

Ladies – Flaunt Your Figures!

Well, the best way to describe the meaning behind  this entry is by keeping it simple.

It’s like the experts say, which is that certain things catch our attention for very valid, yet often unknown (subconscious) reasons, so in this particular case, while surfing the web, I spotted this wave on Myspace featured in the video below, and since this is a publication in which our duty is to give publicity to what we discern as worthy and valid causes, this would actually rank highly on the list of priorities.

vf5There has got to be something to these guys with funny sounding Middle Eastern names, with the gift of gab, that leads to the accomplishment of achievements, previously and popularly perceived as impossible  and unattainable.

Upon pondering in which direction to travel during the past few days, I recalled that this is an entry that I was saving for just the right time, and I believe that today, April 08, 2009 is a fitting time.

Although the hype has subsequently lessened after the historic inauguration proceedings of President Obama, after close to his first 100 days in office, I thought it would be a good idea to retrace some of the steps

which led to the arrival of Obama in the Oval Office.

Chalk it up as a coincidence, I recall the early morning hours of January 20, 2009 as I had fallen asleep on the couch and woke up with the T.V. still on. It was between the hours of 2-4 a.m. and the movie I had awakened  to was ALI, starring Will Smith.

I decided to watch it all the way through, and then reflected back to the time in 2002 when Muhammad Ali received his star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.

For those who have been following the proceedings here at this publication for long enough, you are aware of my tendencies to explore the reasons why, as I have always been a person who is fully aware that every effect is a result of a cause.

I can asses that President Obama saw fit to pay homage to his predecessors who paved the path of CHANGE before him, and in 2002
Muhammad Ali became the first individual to have his star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame placed on the wall inside of the then, newly opened Hollywood Landmark, Kodak Theater located at the historic Hollywood and Highland location, which is now the current home to the Academy Awards festivities.

As a arm chair historian and a person raised with the insight of prominent figures such as Ali, I have actually conducted extensive research in regards to his official title as
THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME.

As a fighter, many avid pugilism experts have stated that in regards to Ali’s physical capabilities, there are and have been many great boxing champions who’s athletic attributes far exceed the capabilities of Muhammad Ali, yet he still continues to hold the title of THE GREATEST, and is respected as such.

From what I can tell, it is actually Ali’s mental & spiritual  facilities that set him apart from all  fighters, as well as most  gifted and talented people in general.

If you were to study combat strategies, you will see that Ali’s wit and verbal abilities was where a majority of his actual fighting abilities were contained as he was able to talk a situation in and out of existence and realize a winning outcome time and time again.

Following this trail, I set out to explore the reasons as to why Muhammad
Ali is currently the only  public figure past or present, to have his star placed on a wall and not on the sidewalk as with the rest of the luminaries.

The simplicity of the answer for me has actually been life transforming, and I would venture to say it had a similar effect for our nations current President.

I will now share the following words of wisdom with you.
Ryder Cup Golf Ali

Muhammad Ali’s new star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame will never be walked on like the other 2,188 famous names.

The former boxer insisted his star be installed on the wall of the new Kodak Theater complex.

Ali said he didn’t want to be walked on by people who “disrespect him”.

“All my life, growing up as a little boy, I always said if I could get famous I would do things to help my people that other people won’t do,” Ali said.

“I don’t care about being famous. I care about getting the ear of people, because if people hear truth, some will accept it.”

He used the opportunity to say he thought black Americans should assert their identity by acquiring indigenous names – not the names of white Europeans.

That’s why he changed his name from Cassius Clay, the boxer said.
“I changed my name – that shook the world,” he said.

If the ends justify the means, I believe it to be in my best interest to always give credit where it is due, and continue to stay the course, and welcome any who believe themselves to be worthy enough to travel along on the journey with us.

(T.G.I.M.) Thank God Its Monday.
As stated in a Tweet last week, things are coming together like a $5 Dollar Taco Bell Box That Rocks, and the time has come to grow this online publication into what it is destined to become, which is actually whatever we and our  “higher ups” decide for it to be.

Spring forward is the sign for the season, and from the looks of the weather here in Southern California to begin the week with, we are seeing that the grassroots approach that we adhere to at Your Friendly Neighborhood PimpHop.com will surely result in a lush harvest.

This entry is simply a benchmark that indicates what is in the works, in preparation for the bright sunshine days ahead, and for those whom it may concern, it is a progress report that demonstrates how effectively we are able to play our part in the recovery act, as jobs, like all else that exists, were, are, and will continue to be… created.

VIBRATIONS – A Blog Adventure By Veruska Quinones

Jenny and I @ 17........

A Note To Jenny…………

Dear Jenny,…

It is Saturday, July 24th, 2010,…and im sitting here reflecting and contemplating on our friendship throughout the years….
Im hoping that we still have a friendship though…..

About 3 months ago, you took off me off your friends list…..and i have to say that i was pretty shocked…..
You were by far my oldest friend…since i dont know 1979 or 80?

you were my first friend when i moved here from Canada…..

I will tell you something about me, though…..

I am one that gets perspective real quick…..

and i know why you did it…..

I never really made an effort to reconnect with you ,after we found each other again…..
Does that make me a Bad friend?

Perhaps in your Eyes ,,,,,the answer would be….yes…..

in my eyes…..my answer is no……..

Jenny i havent always been a good friend….that is for sure….

I think we have all been accused in one way or another…of not being a good friend….

but throught the years I Have become a person that is very connected to a source that is beyond my understanding…..
yet at the same time ,….im a person that is very detached as well……

From situtations,,and yes sometimes….People…..

I think the only way to truly understand this whole scenario….is to go back…..

I had an amazingopportunity to divulge my whole life story…to a person that i ve never met before…

which is a good thing , because it gave me an opportunity, to reflect and gain a deeper understanding to why i am ….welll…..the way i am……

lets go back shall we?

so yes were bffs growing up……

and Jen, you don’t realize this, but your home was my refuge……..
it was my reprieve…….

I love your family….
YOU HAVE THE BEST FAMILY EVER……

and to be able to speak to Jon here on Facebook is awseome..

and you know that i spent alot of time at your place…..
and when it was time for me to go……..

i dreaded it…..

home was not a good place for me….

and i experienced things in my childhood that were way beyond my maturity level…as well as no kid should EVER…have to experience that….

NO kid…

But you guys never knew that…..

because in many people eyes i had a good home….

we were good at keeping up on experiences..

and unfortunately it would be seeds that eventually would grow into wild weeds….that wouls choke and strangle parts of my psyche,,,,that would defintitely not serve me in any way , shape or form……..

Maybe some of you that are reading this maybe be thinking that im playing the worlds smallest violin for you…..

but im not……

i dont sit here and feel sorry for myself…….

jenny yes im sure you have gone through your challenges in life……

so perhaps , i can enlighten you…..in a brief manner what has happened since we last saw each other….ready….
first of all i have to say that i think its so rad that you ended up marrying James, and you have a BEAUTIFUL FAMILY…..and your outlook on life is AMAZING……okay heres goes

parents divorcing…
having to take care of my sister, cuz mom couldnt cope for awhile….
dropped out of high school,then left home…..

seeing the beauty in the liitle things in life….
giving birth to my dAUGHTER Maya..
not having addiction issues…..
finding my spirituality……
being positive….
forgiving those who i guess were doing the best thing that they knew how..
you know they were victims too at one times….
i have learned to open my heart…and connect with people…
and i have to say ….

I HAVE A PRETTY FUCKIN FANTASTIC LIFE…
filled with people that are amazing….
and life experiences that i know i have consciously created on my own….

Im not saying in any way that life is fuckin peaches and creme…

OH NO NO NO……

there are some things that im still uncovering about myself….through some experiences
such as the demise of my marriage……..
i honestly can say that i understand men for who they are…….
but when it came to the dynamic of marriage which unless youre in it…
it A WHOLE OTHER BALL GAME…….
and i can honestly say right now in front of the whole world….

marriage is not for me…..
but i am ssooooo happy for you and James….
when you got something special….

YOU HOLD ONTO IT….

and last raising a daughter with special needs….
maya is autistic and every day with her as her mom has been enlightening, exciting and at the same time incredibly frustrating and yes scary….

but i surprise myself….
because ..i am a very good mom…..

and know that this happening, has made me realize not to take your loved ones for granted, and you were the source of inspiration, along with my pen pal’s encouragement….to start my own blog….
