CAP – Caucasian Asian Persuasion

Posted on by

It was an exciting Go Show this morning.  Today marks the kick-off for Go90x!  It goes on for the entire month of February.  For this Go Adventure, I’ve teamed up with three lovely ladies – Maria, Dona and Christine.  Together we are the Caucasian Asian Persuasion (CAP – which is what all of us will be doing this year.)  We’re gonna start off strong and keep each other motivated and on point.  In the end we’re each going to win a new iPad or a trip to Las Vegas to tour the Zappos Headquarters.

The fun has just begun.  Be sure to follow our blogs to see how we do with this innovative and intense event.  I find myself excited yet a little apprehensive about the upcoming month.  It’s going to be tough challenge, but I know it’s only going to help my business.

To my fellow CAP’ers:  We have an awesome team.  Let’s meet over Dim Sum and plot how we are going to kick Go90x’s butt.  Pass me a miniature dumpling and pour me a tiny cup of tea and lets toast – Cheers to iPads, Vegas and Go90x!

Go90x

You must be wondering…  Don’t you mean P90X?  Isn’t that a work-out video?  What does that have to do with Real Estate and Go?  Well by using the concept of P90X, which is a well organized training system that uses the science of Muscle Confusion to change one’s work-out routine in order to get the best results, the brains behind Go90x have come up with their own tweaked out version.

This is my first time doing the Go90x program, but the veterans tell me it’s no walk in the park.  Daily tasks will be posted online every morning, so participants are always left guessing as to what comes next.  I guess they can’t make it too easy – there is an iPad or a trip to Vegas at stake here for everyone that completes Go90x.  Since I already have an iPad, I’m looking forward to a fun trip to Vegas with all the other winners this summer.

With less than 24 hours before the Go90x kick-off, I have to say, I’m a little nervous. There’s just something about not knowing what tasks lie ahead that is a bit unnerving. This brings me back to the Go Reality Show days.  I’m sure I can use a lot of the things I learned from that experience to help me slaughter Go90x.  I know it’s not going to be easy, but I’m excited for this challenge.   Vegas awaits!

Attention restaurant and food enthusiasts:  Triangle Restaurant Week starts next Monday!

Want to try that restaurant that everyone’s been talking about?  Maybe you can’t bring yourself to spend your hard earned cash on a three-course meal.  Well here’s your chance to dine at some of the finest restaurants in the Triangle for a fraction of the cost.

Participating restaurants have special three-course prix-fixe menus for $20 and $30.  Whether it’s steak, seafood or vegetarian food you’re seeking, you won’t have trouble finding a restaurant that will entice your taste buds.  Some of my favorite spots include Sitti (Lebanese), Irregardless Cafe (Vegetarian, Contemporary American) and Buku (Global, International).

Hopefully you can make it out sometime between January 23rd and 29th.  This event won’t be happening again until later this year in June.

Businessweek has recently ranked Raleigh as America’s Best City.  Surprised? I’m not. I’ve always been a fan of the City of Oaks – especially it’s downtown area  There’s plenty to do here in North Carolina’s Capital.   There are numerous restaurants, bars, and museums to go to as well as college and professional sports teams to root for.

Bloomsburg Businessweek also used the income, poverty, unemployment, crime, and foreclosure rates; percentage of population with bachelor’s degrees or higher; public school performance; park acres per 1,000 residents; and air quality to determine its rankings.
