Motivational Thursday

You must be ruthless on you way to the top. 

Many people are okay with a normal job, a manager position, a coordinator etc. Many love 5-day work weeks, paid vacation time, paid sick days and weekends to do whatever their little heart desires. But the true killers in business and in life can’t think of a life like that. Although, there is nothing wrong with it. If you want to be at the top of your industry, you must be absolutely ruthless on your way up. You have to lose friends, time-wasting activities, “hobbies” and anything else that will take away from your end result. Make the right connections, do the extra learning, and work outside of the office. Be a killer in your industry, and watch your back during the climb because there are ALWAYS people wanting what you have. 

Bobble of the Day “Blake Griffin”

Bobble of the Day

Player: Blake Griffin

Year: 2012

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles

Everyone knows how good Blake is and even if your not a Clippers fan, you know who the heck the guy is. He won the Rookie of the Year back in 2012 and also made the All-Star game as a rookie. The last rookie to start and All-Star game was Yao Ming back in 2003. Not only did Griffin win the ROY and start the All-Star game, but he won the slam dunk contest in front of his hometown fans at the Staples Center. He jumped over the car and dunked which catapulted him to win the crown as dunk champ.

Now this bobble is very cool in many ways. The geometrical base is a fresh look that has the Clippers logo on top along with his number #32. Along the bottom sides of the base the colors red and blue mix well together. His name is raised letters which is a plus but it’s hard to read. FOCO definitely should have made it white for it to pop a little more. The home uni is laced with blue and red Clipper colors and the Rookie of the Year trophy is as dope as it gets. Blake’s facial features are on point with no complaints there. Lastly, the back 2012 “Rookie of the Year” emblem displays a nice finishing touch to a well thought out bobble. 

 

 

Sniper Rating: Blake seems always to have excellent surrounding players around him but the Clips can never get deep into the playoffs. That Wester Conference is a bitch with Houston, San Antonio and Dallas for many years interrupted the Clippers plans to win a title. Who the hell knows if Blake ever wins a ring with the Clips. All I know is not to many bobbles of Mr. Griffin were ever made so this one stands above the rest. Blake and his ROY bobble score a 8.0 rating. 

Motivational Wednesday

Think about it:

What’s the point in spending your life doing something if your heart’s not in it?

What really is the point? I know often times after college we “fall” into a position to get our feet wet in a job just to make money. But over time, many people realize this is really not the job for them and they want to do something different. Well guess what, they NEVER branch out and go reach there goals! Christ, they probably don’t even have goals set for themselves! They stay in same dead end job and complain to the world that they hate their job and they want something better, but do NOTHING about it. Bottom line, is if your heart and desire is not in the work you do then don’t complain and more importantly, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! 

Bobble of the Day “Clayton Kershaw”

Bobble of the Day

Player: Clayton Kershaw

Team: Los Angeles Dodgers

Year: 2015

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles 

This well in deed might be my favorite Kershaw bobblehead. Fuck SGA’s. This one has it all. Kershaw year after years seems to just be winning every Cy Young award and sooner or later bobblehead manufacturer’s will run out of room to display all of the awards on one given bobblehead. 

This one is as rugged, hardcore as they come. It highlights Clayton winning the MVP and 3X time Cy Young award winner. The base is so wide it literally takes up the size of 2 bobbleheads. The all black base outlined with the silver Cy Young awards is nasty and the fact that FOCO raised the letter’s in his name is killer. I absolutely love the fact that he’s wearing the royal blue cleats that go perfectly with the blue jacket and hat. Nothing fancy with the baseball pants as they are a standard white with no stripes down the side. In his right arm he’s holding his MVP award and his other Cy Young award in the left arm. The blue jacket is the freshest thing I’ve seen on a baseball bobble because you can tell it’s Clayton’s off day and he’s not pitching. He’s taking a breather and the collar goes way up the neck and of course it’s long sleeved. 

 

 

Sniper Rating: I clearly don’t think FOCO could have done a better job with the facial features because his scruffy beard and long hair that comes out of the back of his hat are on POINT. Excellent job FOCO. You don’t need me to tell you this needs to be in your collection. Limited to only 500 made, this is a one of a kind bobble of the great Kershaw. The best arm in the Major’s along with his shit load of awards scores a 10.0 rating without looking back.
