Wes is truly a poster boy for being Pimpalicious
Every day we face the world in our own specific way. Some of us face it head on with an aggressive and headstrong style. Some of us passively weave our way through the daily labyrinth, just longing for the clock to strike five so we can escape the daily grind. The rest of us simply exist. We’re the awesome exclusion to the select few. We are the Pimpalicious. We are the men and women of the world that take every conflict in stride and use our keen powers of deduction, humor and logic to work through problems. We are the ones who are always laughing at ourselves because our pride is as big as our egos. We are the pimps of the world. The ones who get things done. This post is a prime example of that. This blog is full of Pimpalicious folks, ready to charge into the world and rule it with a steady and compassionate pimp hand.
how that does that translate into real life? The sarcastic paragraph above aside, how do you go about being Pimpalicious? Really, it’s quite simple. I’ll break down a scenario. It’s Halloween. You’ve taken the kids trick or treating early. Their mother is taking them to another neighborhood to trick or treak with friends now. You have the noble duty of handing out candy. So what do you do? Sit in your house and wait for the doorbell to ring, rising up out of your easy chair, a beer in one hand and candy in the other? No. That is not what you do. What you do, to be truly Pimpalicious is open the garage. Drag out the grill. Throw some bratwursts on the grill – more than you can eat in one sitting. Open a bottle of Tequila. Put on some music in the background or playoff baseball. Two things will happen. One, all the fathers coming to your house with their kids will see your situation and immediately recognize you as the king of the neighborhood. Then, they’ll want a bratwurst. This will endear them to you, basically making them your man hoes. I know that sounds strange, but it will come in handy later when you need to borrow a ladder or ask their teenage son to clear out the gutters for minimal pay. The Tequila is for drinking. Every time you hand out candy, take a shot. Truly Pimpalicious.
Let’s use someone famous for my second example. How about a sports figure? Wes Welker came into the National Football League in 2004. He came in undrafted with the Chargers, was cut and joined the Miami Dolphins. Wes Welker was (and is) truly Pimpalicious. He has become one of the most prolific receivers in history in his time with the Dolphins and now with the Patriots. Remember, he was undrafted. He’s humble, but tough. The most important thing is – he does his job and he does it well. Without complaint. Sadly, he’s going to miss the playoffs with a knee injury, cause he’s the only player on the Patriots that I like. His work ethic and style is something we can all learn from. To be Pimpalicious you must have a good work ethic as well as a good sense of how to just be awesome. It’s really hard to teach these things. But don’t worry. With my guidance, you can learn to be just as Pimpalicious as Wes Welker.
The point of this post is that being Pimpalicious is a gift. It’s not something that comes easy, but is very easy to maintain because it’s how the way you choose to be that defines you as a person. People have to work at being assholes, or kiss-asses, but to be Pimpalicious you just have to be yourself, be good to the world and enjoy the karma that comes with it. You also have to spread the love. Share the bratwursts, sign autographs or whatever it is that you do that you can give unto others. Spread the karma butter like glitter on a stripper. It’s all about the karma, being Pimpalicious. Let it flow.
