Mauve and powder blue Summer suits modeled by Flyzel
Thoughts from the Brooklyn Bachelor
Want to know what's on a playa's mind? Sponsorships! Yup, cause in Flyzel's social world, there's an either/or dynamic that you must be aware of so you know where you stand in all of your relationship dynamics in your overall life: You're either a sponsor or sponsored, a employee or a employer, a odor or a fragrance, a onlooker or a participant, a player or a fan! Remember, fans will pay a premium to watch the players and the playas create, showoff and perform the most extraordinary feats on the court, field of play or any other platform just for the sake of being entertained. People are fans of talent, a flare of dramatics and they will pay a premium to access it so whether you're a fan, onlooker, bystander, employee or sponsored, there is still a cost incurred to getting access because access is key! Anyway you slice it, you have to pay the cost to be the boss and have it your way, so get use to paying or sponsoring the show. There is usually a cost that goes into maintaining relationships, recreation experiences, leisure time but nothing is really "free". There are very few things in the world that are free, especially in an expensive modernize country like the United States. Now, if you want this free game it's going to cost you but the only cost you have to pay is attention if you want to get your money's worth. Just don't do anything dumb that's going to cost you dearly in the short or long run. Allow the Brooklyn Bachelor aka Flyzel aka Chandon to give you access into the "3rd lane", life lessons in-between time and show you something a little different than what you're use to seeing in the NYC nightlife and event space. Life is to be enjoyed to the limit! Let Flyzel show you how to do this, son! |
Does Flyzel have your attention now, Playa?
Now that I have your attention, let me put you on to some game! Listen, you don't have to be rich to enjoy the spoils of life, luxury and leisure but one thing you do need is access. Access is what people use to acquire the experiences, possessions and assets to secure a better life for themselves. There's an old saying out there that "your character can get you into places your money can't, so being solid with your word and mature in behavior will take you a long way. Remember, you have be invited or have access into this world, there is no admission, Playa!

.FLYZEL
Either from an early age you probably were told that you had "it" or you knew on your own you had something which stood you out from the rest of the pack or group? In the modeling, acting or sports world you always hear people saying "he or she has it" and that "it" factor is what separates you from the rest of the crowd. You may have heard this from your parents or their friends and their references of how cute, charismatic or charming you were, your pops saying you're a chip off the old block, or coaches, teachers, & mentors commenting that you had something special or simply, the girls on the block that liked you and when it was time to play games like run, catch and kiss they chased you first! But to that particular guy out there that always knew they had something that any ol body could not buy or duplicate and, like me, you knew you had something that was special but you couldn't put your finger on it precisely at that time, then this website may be for you! Whether it was in sports, your intellect prowess, gift of speech, leadership qualities, your looks, physical built, fashion sense or whatever, but without the right tutelage, guidance, training, coaching, mentorship or upbringing either by a father, uncle, older brother or cousin, grandfather or coach, neighbor or OG, your potential or "it" factor may not have been fully developed or realized. Young males need adult guidance for the betterment of their own growth and development, so it is imperative to learn underneath someone or preferably all of these men to be the absolute best version of yourselves and realize your full potential and to learn and gain wisdom, knowledge and understanding about the world and also game. Thus, this is why I created this website. This website is first and foremost dedicated to the teenage, young adult and middle-aged men in the U.S. and across the world who want to became the best version of themselves, who need a little push, who wants to be more confident & happy and for those who want to learn how to realize and maximize their full potential before they leave this earth. Remember, all of us know our date of birth but none of us know our date of death, so everybody is on the clock to leave your imprint and legacy on this earth for all to remember. Personally, I want to lead by example and show men that it's possible to be fly as hell, casket sharp, dapper and too smooth for your own good and again, be the best version of themselves. However, to be your best version you gotta do the work! There's no other way around it! The type of men we need to become must be honorable men ("Iron sharpens iron") and to "hold the line" in terms of protecting and developing our masculinity as well as our emotional, mental and physical state/health and be respectful and be good to each other and take care & show love to each other and look extremely fly in the process! Being the best version of yourself is just not a cliche, you have to be about it, look it and walk it, so you can talk it and not be fake and just all talk. Chasing excellence takes work, fam! It takes dedication! It takes setting goals! It takes grit! It takes vision! Unfortunately, this is where over 50% of men jump ship, fall off and fall short from becoming the best version of themselves and reaching their own potential. Now being average, corny and regular is fine and okay (I guess) and everyone can't be great (this is why the stands or seats of sports stadiums/courts/rinks/fields, concert stages and Broadway shows are full of these types: [spectators] or those who looking at the men and women who have actually bust their asses to continuously work to be the best versions of themselves but i digress); but one thing is clear: everyone has the potential to be great! The hard work, drive, vision and the "it" factor is what separates the boys from the men and the average and ordinary from the outstanding and extraordinary. Conversely, women too can learn , study and understand how the male psyche thinks, our modus operandi and how we operate on a daily basis! "Being Fly" is a slang term that is used loosely but there are levels to its use. It's a look! It's a way of being! It's looking, feeling and acting your best so to maintain peak desirability, peace of mind, a good reputation and image, decrease the spirit of fear and to be the type of men our communities and households need in today's ever changing world! Now that's fly! This website will focus, among other things, on the 4 things all will men struggle with throughout their lives: Strength, Decisiveness, Consistency and Maturity. Conversely, these are the 4 things that women need, want and desire from men to thrive in their own societies, communities and household. Moreover, Flyzel wants to show young men how to be well-rounded, understanding the benefits of code-switching to successfully navigate society to their benefit, as well as in corporate and professional work settings and environments. As Black and Brown men, we are in a situation where we have to deal with racism almost on a daily basis and knowing how to navigate within this society is one of the foremost must haves you will need to know to maintain your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual sanity. Lastly, men need to learn and know how to dress and look the part as well as developing their character because like my mother use to always say to me "your character can take you and get you in places your money cannot". Get it? Got it? Good! Young Flyzel in 2016 ready to show out with the olive green, wool trench coat with the fur collar
Be the best version of yourselves!
You must strive to become the best version of yourselves guys. It's as simple as that! This phrase is becoming more and more popular and cliche' but it is very true! The goal for me is to maintain a healthy look, age gracefully, be vibrant, easy on the eyes and overall in the best possible shape & condition, mind, body and soul or simply the best version of myself, period! We only get one life and one of the best kept secrets of life is to withstand the test of time. You must withstand burnout and not let it be noticeable on you on the inside and outside. Your deeds and reputation will serve you well on this earth and they will manifest itself in your life from the inside to your outside good, bad or indifferent. You can't hide from yourself because wherever you go there you are. The worst person to lie to is yourself! You control the narrative or someone else will! It's attainable, stop being lazy son!
Circa 2014 when Flyzel Washington wished apon a star and soon after became one!
There's suppose to be 3 really's on the shirt but whatever!
PSA: Don't be this dude! Stuck in the past, undesirable and past his prime. Jerome is not the type of playa to be!
The goal is not to be Jerome! As we mature fully going into middle adulthood and older adulthood, settling into our 30's, 40's, 50's and 60's we must do everything in our power not to turn or phase into Jerome "playa from the Himalayas". This is the definition of someone hitting the wall! Father time is undefeated! Say no to Jerome fellas because that's kind of not a good looking the long run and this is the dude that gets clown by everyone at the club, bar or event! He thinks he is killing the game but the joke is on him and everyone knows it but him. So, no outdated game, gear or clothes, no outdated hair styles, no Brut, Stenson or any outdated colognes, no outdated jewelry (No Mercedes benz logo chains) and for God sake, get your asses in the gym, jog or workout cause this sloppy looking image is not the move. Our current American lifestyle is contributing and causing all types of bodliy aliments like obesity, hypertension, high blood pressure and heart disease to name a few so it's up to us to have self-control and self determination to eat to live and not live to eat. If I can do it, then you can do it! Lets get it!!! Remember, one of the secrets of life is standing the test of time and looking at the long term projection of one's life!
BeveragesThe social aspect of sipping brought to you, Chandon Kwam! If you're starting out on your journey to indulging in the world sparkling wine then you have to ask yourself an important question?
Do you know the difference between Champagne, Presecco and Cava? The ultimate guide to sparkling wine
It's all about the [bubbly] baby!!! Everything you need to know about the differences between champagne, prosecco and cava. In the event that you get a surprise invitation to the Governor's ball, going to a fraternity or sorority dinner dance or just going on a date with someone you really want to impress then you'll need to know the differences of what to drink within the world of sparkling wine! Let's start with the basics. All sparkling wine is not champagne! This is the first rule of thumb folks. Champagne tends to be more expensive than Prosecco. "One of the major reasons Prosecco is more affordable than Champagne has to do with the way it's made...most Prosecco is made in the 'charmat' method, which basically means it's fermented in a steel tank" among other things. Prosecco can be produced more efficiently and inexpensive than champagne. Almost everyone knows that champagne is French, cava is Spanish and Prosecco is Italian, but how can you tell one sparkling wine from the next? Harper Bazaar asked Moët & Chandon's wine expert Jane Parkinson to help us distinguish between the three in terms of how they are made, how they taste and what dishes they pair nicely with. What is the difference between champagne, sparkling wine, Cava and Prosecco? "There are many differences but two important ones are location and grapes. Champagne can only come from the region of Champagne in north-eastern France and is usually made with chardonnay, pinot noir and/or meunier. Cava comes from Spain and although it can also use chardonnay and pinot noir, it is also made using native grapes such as parellada and xarel-lo. Prosecco comes from the Veneto region of north-eastern Italy and uses a grape called glera. Sparkling wine is a very broad term that encompasses any wine with bubbles. Even champagne is a 'sparkling wine' but, importantly, not all sparkling wine is champagne. Champagne, prosecco, and sparkling wine are three totally different terms whose meanings are different in important ways. Sparkling wine is the least exclusionary term; it’s a blanket category that refers to all types of wine that, well sparkles. If it bubbles, it’s sparkling wine. Champagne is sparkling wine, Prosecco is sparkling wine and Cava is sparkling wine. Those are the three most popular types, though there are others, but those are the basics. So if you’re not sure what to call the sparkling wine you’re drinking, you’re safe calling it just that: sparkling wine. Champagne is a much more descriptive term. For a bottle of wine to be categorized as Champagne, it must come from the Champagne region of France. That’s all you really need to remember for now! The Champagne Bureau (la Comité Champagne in French) works very hard to protect the exclusivity of the appellation. If you call something Champagne and it’s not from Champagne, France, you may get sued. Yes, it’s that serious. André, Yves Saint Laurent, and even Aldi have all been subject to Champagne-related lawsuits. Prosecco, which is growing in popularity, was invented centuries after Champagne. Prosecco can be sparkling, semi-sparkling, or still, and all prosecco is made from glera grapes, though other types of grapes can be added. Prosecco also must be made using a specific method of production — but unlike Champagne, it is fermented the second time in steel tanks rather than in the bottle. It's less associated with luxury — and though some proud French citizens may disagree, that doesn’t mean it isn’t as nice. For a bottle of wine to be categorized as prosecco, it must come from the Veneto region of Italy. The name comes from a small Italian village called Prosecco, where the wine was invented, and the appellation is similarly protected under European law." So, now you know the basics and differences between the ladies and gentlemen, so when Flyzel invites you to some of these dope ass events/ parties or you go out to your own upscale parties, you can somewhat sound like your own sparking wine aficionado. This is how you increase your knowledge, social skills and social acumen navigating in the social world and in the loop! The more you know the more you'll grow, playa! In terms of how you should hold a champagne glass, you should hold your champagne glass or flute by the stem and not by the bowl or bottom. When holding, pitch the stem between your index finger and thumb as Chandon demonstrates below. *https://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/culture/going-out/a36725/differences-between-champagne-prosecco-cava *www.thedailymeal.com/drink/difference-champagne-prosecco-sparkling-wine *www.hespokestyle.com/how-to-hold-a-champagne-glass/ *www.vinepair.com/The-8-best-bottles-of-affordable-prosecco-you-need-to-drink-now Before you pour your glass to sip, let Chandon show you how to grip!

WASHINGTON
See, everyone has heard of the first U.S. President George Washington and of course actor Denzel Washington and most people have heard of his son, John David Washington (whom I kind of resemble from what people tell me), but very few people have heard of your man, Flyzel Washington (no relation but figuratively these are my brothers lol)! In his own head, Flyzel thinks he belongs in the same conversation with all of these other famous Washingtons in history and pop culture. To name a few famous Washingtons we have Denzel Washington, Booker T. Washington, Isiash Washington, Harold Washington, Kenny Washington, Dwayne "Pearl" Washington and Bartender Issac Washington from the Love Boat lol! Now, I know what you're thinking "Who the hell is a Flyzel Washington in relation to them? Who let him up in this established? Whose man is this? Can someone get security?" Listen and hear me out! Let's start with the history of the Washington surname! So, for your information, according to the 2,000 U.S. census, the blackest surname in America is Washington. www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/02/how-washington-became-the-blackest-name-in-america/71511/ Of all the 163,036 people with the last name Washington, 90% were African-Americans. So apparently since 1865, the surname Washington has become a common and very popular name among African-Americans in the United States over the last 150 years. Before African-Americans officially were granted freedom from chattel slavery and given the status of freedmen and citizens by the 13th and 14th amendments, they did not have the distinction and honor of adopting and/or passing down last names or surnames due to the repressive nature of being the owned by their slave masters/owners. Thus, African Americans, the young and old, were called and referred to as "boy", "nigger", and "whench", so African people subjected to slavery had to take om the surnames of their oppressive masters because, by law, they were considered property until 1965 (even though black people are still referred to as niggers to this very day, but that is another story for another time). So, when newly freed African Americans became citizens due to the 14th amendments in 1868 they had the chance to shake off their slave surnames and choose dignified last names that reflected not only high character and esteem but also people of distinction, significance and importance in society and history. Some choose to kept their slave last names and other did not. Thus, last names like Freemen, Jackson, Jefferson, Smith and Washington which were men of perceived distinction during the 1700 and 1800's were very commonly chosen surnames by African-Americans then and today, so it is no surprise that it is so common and frequent to know someone in the African-American community with the aforementioned surnames. Now you know what time it is but don't get it twisted, Flyzel is worth more than a dollar bill with Washington's face on it. Frankly speaking, we keep it buck $100 around here, playa! Brooklyn's lowkey Superhero
Flyzel
Who is this Flyzel you speak of? Man of mystery? Playa from the Himalayas? Sometimes known to be followed by your favorite dime piece on IG or typically on your favorite cutie's most wanted list? Well, hearsay has it he lurks in the cut sometimes on Nostrand Ave, Madison Ave or Market Street on these Brooklyn, Manhattan or Newark streets. But Flyzel also goes by another moniker: Captain save a bro! Saving our young brothers out here from the foolishness, traps and stress that their enemies, frienemies and certain principalities put out here looking to do harm to them in these NYC/NJ streets and schools on a daily basis because evil takes no days off. See, during the day he's in normal, grown man form and serves as a entrepreneur, teacher, tutor and mentor affectionately known as Mr. Washington educating and mentoring the students in NYC and New Jersey respectively. He has a reputation of always being on time, professionally dressed, intellectually astute, fearless and tirelessly dedicated to the students, schools and organizations he serves and loves, being that role model that the children, teenagers and young adults, specifically the young men so desperately need and desire today! He lives by the motto: "Be the person that you needed when you were young". Now, after work typically after sunset and into the evening, Mr. Washington turns inconspicuously into Flyzel: a handsome, charismatic, fly guy, ready to mix, mingle, flirt converse with the motley crew of interesting characters of the NYC nightlife. Equipped with his killer smile, gift of gab, well-dressed, model-like demeanor and pleasant disposition, Flyzel stays ready to take on everything and anything that the night has to offer, good, bad or indifferent. Moreover, a superhero sometimes needs super companions to save the day and his super friends are usually with him to make sure everything flows smoothly and correctly at the parties and/or events they attend. In certain cases, when the occasion calls for it, he into Captain save a Ms! Occasionally a super realro (real-hero) needs super fine, lady friends to salvage the day or evening from the ordinary, mundane and boring aspects of everyday life that can drive us crazy or bored to death! WORD TO THE WISE: When you make that call to captain save a Ms just make sure you have a real cute outfit, a cute smile and a cute shape when I show up cause if I don't like what I see I ain't saving shit lol So when you see that signal in the sky at night or that black fist in the air or the shadow figure of a flyguy during the day and you need someone to fight off and beat up boredom, or you want a rent a boo to show off to your homegirls at a sorority dinner dance or an ascort to the Mayor's or Governor's Ball to impress, flirt and match your fly or you're just hungry for some good loving, good conversation, good company and any ol dude just can't cut it then call on your man, Flyzel to save the day, the hour or the moment! Get it? Got it? Good!!!
Stay Golden!
Every superhero needs military or high-quality grade gear, equipment & tools of the trade to be successful in fighting crime and in Flyzel's case, fighting boredom too! The materials in the equipment that is needed to handle your business as a superhero or superplaya has to be reliable, top quality and time-tested so as not to get jammed up in the heat of the moment. The top material of choice for me is the precious metal: gold! #1. Gold, 9 times out of 10, is the jewelry of choice for your typical playa to wear and be seen in the public eye so as to fluant their importance and wealth. #2. Gold has certain alluring properties that has motivated countless men and women to take action albeit for better or worse. #3.Gold is durable and a very long-lasting metal worthy of encasing or embedding into ones arsenal to be efficient I can make this case historically over the last 4,000 years going all the way back to ancient Kemet or what Greek and Roman scholars have erroneously called Egypt! Gold is a precious and very valuable metal that is naturally found in the earth but is not easily found by the common person. It is a highly corrosion-resistant metal, a good conductor of electricity and is the principal choice of a country's reserve hard asset to back their own fiat (paper) money since paper was issued. Historically, the coinage of choice all over the world was either gold or silver coins, but gold coins held the most intrinsic value. Think about what was in those treasure chest that Pirates tried to steal from European ships that crossed the Caribbean sea or the Atlantic ocean during the era of oceanic travel during the 1500, 1600, 1700 and 1800's. Scientifically, of all the metals on the periodic chart, "it is the only one that is both colored and whose color keeps its shine and beauty forever. You can find a piece of gold lying on the ground where it has been for million of years, pick it up, dust it off and it will shine for you as if it's been waiting for you the whole time". Amazing, right? This is why gold is the one precious metal is has stood the test of time (sounds familiar?). The definition of a precious metal is one that is a "rare, naturally occurring metallic, chemical element of high economic value...regarded mainly as investment and industrial commodities." Astronomically, a Leo's governing metal is gold and colors are yellow, orange and gold. So it's no accident that Leos stay golden and ultimately shine out of all of the zodiac signs! *wink* Moreover, Gold's symbol is Au on the periodic chart. So coincidentally when there's a crime being committed and you hear the thunderous commanding voice of Flyzel saying "Aye you"! Get it (Au) or simply "Ayeeee u" then you know some sh#t is about to happen cause Captain Save a bro is coming! Leos are also sun signs! We loveeeee the Sun and get energized by it! Plus, if you have high concentrations of skin pigment or Melanin, you very much need more exposure of the sun's UVA and UVB rays so it can be absorbed and synthesize to produce energy among other uses. Melanin is an effective absorbent of sunlight and is able to dissipate great deals of UV radiation more than any other group of people. For example, "Epidemiological data strongly support the photoprotective role of melanin as there exists an inverse correlation between skin pigmentation and the incidence of sun-induced skin cancers and subjects with White skin are approximately 70 times more likely to develop skin cancer than subjects with Black/Brown skin"..."Melanin in Black/Brown skin is twice as effective compared to White skin in inhibiting UVB radiation from penetration [and better protected against UV-induced damage]". So in conclusion, one of Flyzel's main power sources is the sun. It powers up his melanin which thus empowers his creativity, strength, energy levels, gift of gab, the mundane and boredom! If Flyzel could marry the sun believe me he would and Pizza, can't forget about Pizza.

*"Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it." Buddha*"If passion is driven by energy and emotion, purpose is driven by reason"
Here is a short exercise between the difference of passion and purpose:
"Passion is about, example "I am so passionate about ________" "Purpose is to and for, "I must do________", "I was put here to accomplish ______", "I am willing to endure_______ for the sake of this". Purpose deemphasizes the I, purpose is about pursuing something outside yourself as opposed to pleasuring yourself. Along with purpose comes realism. Where do we start? What do we do first? What do we do right now? How are we sure that what we're doing is moving us forward? What are we benchmarking ourselves against? BE ON YOUR PURPOSE!!! www.intelligentchange.com/ItsnotaboutpassionItsaboutyourpurposeinlife |

*"Nothing is more creative...nor destructive...than a brilliant mind with a purpose." Dan Brown |
