The fire really took a lot out of me and my family over here. Losing your home and beloved four-legged furry family members, is not easy. The motivation to do anything suffers. The stamina is drained from you like the water in a solitary desert oasis. Just getting out of bed most days, has been a challenge. But, the show must go on, if not for me, for my little princesses counting on me to be that unstoppable force.
And so, I have. I've been trying my best to arrange The Block Party II and have had several hang-ups there as well. Some sponsors didn't come through in a timely manner as they had promised, a few artists backed out and the timing of the fire in the midst of it all just really punched me in the gut. I almost cancelled it.
The main thing that has kept me in a corner in fight or flight mode, has been the insurance paperwork. I had to fill out these inventory sheets of all the things that were in the house. Talk about the most depressing walk down memory lane you'll ever take! Fuck. But, they are finished now! That is part of the good news. The other part, is that my insurance has totaled the house and decided to give me max allowances for compensation on everything.
Granted, one cannot replace a dog that you have known for 13 years. I mean, that's over 25% of my lifespan! You cannot replace the pictures taken before the digital era. You cannot replace the cherished artwork from all the kids. Hell, my office door was a gallery on its own! You cannot replace nor substitute sentimental value, so, I hold tight the memories. Moving on.
Some of you may or may not know, but @someguy123's company - @privex - has been under a DDoS attack for just over a week now. People have been trying to help, but to no avail. This means that things haven't been running smoothly. All of my servers were hit in some form or fashion and it has been a hectic ride trying to get things in order.
One of them, I can't even access the server as of this morning. 2 of them are writing blocks but their feeds are mucked. My personal one - most thankfully - I have been able to (after many hours of hair pulling and yelling at the screen) get back up to par. So, no, I am not hanging up my witness gloves, just had to tighten them and get back in the ring.
PIMP Shit, huh? A few milestones for those who are and aren't P.I.M.P.s. We share more tokens than any other dividend or revenue sharing organization or community on Hive. We are on the top 20 of over a dozen rich lists in holdings. We hide nothing, there is no 'behind the scenes' sus bullshit going on. I tell it like it is and keep anyone informed that wants to take the time to hear it. Why?
I'm a muthafukn P.I.M.P. 😎 Once again, I feel it necessary to explain how PIMP works and the 'top 200'. Some of this is a repeat, but I also have to speak on how delegations tie into the whole PIMP District. We aren't a private circle jerk and I invite anyone and everyone now, that wants to learn ways to be a P.I.M.P., to join us in the Castle and find The PIMP District where we have meetings every Tuesday at 8 am CST and can answer any questions and address any concerns you may have.
if you already have PIMP and want more -
Yes. You have to have at least 1000 PIMP staked to make 1 call per day to tip someone 1 PIMP. To make 2 calls and tip 5 PIMP, you need to have 10,000 staked and so on and so forth. This also slaps the same amount to your own stash of tokens. See the following chart:
All the tokens on the first list, are ones we share every day with people that have the balls to stake our token. The distribution is set to the top 200 highest staked balances (after any outgoing delegations). Incoming delegations do not count towards totals for distribution. Outgoing delegations do not count toward your staked balance as you are not using it to curate any other PIMPs but letting others do it for you. And, since they are using it on your behalf without it being staked, it will not count for them either.
Some of you may notice that it doesn't reach 200 accounts yet (currrently the top 73 staykrz). That's because early adopters like @nathanmars and @biglove (appreciate that immensely by the way you two) have been staking them since it was created. They have a much higher percentage in the total amount of staked PIMP than even myself! Gift of the HODL. As more people acquire and stake PIMP, and our distribution center continues its pursuit of domination, it will continue to spread the wealth on to deeper levels.
Stright up, the purpose of PIMP is to get money. Yes, I love the community here, but you have to understand the realm in which you are living just by reading this. You're not on a WordPress blog. You're not on Tumblr. Or Fakebook. Or even The New York Times absorbing the media you desire - no - you're here. Here where some people use this blockchain to feed their families or fund their causes or build their dreams! So, all the profits being made by sales of PIMP from the center of operations and any other token trades, sales, swaps and earnings - are going right back into it compounding everything we can to better give back to all of you.
I often say we because I couldn't do any of this without any of you - the community. So, here, in this space, money and your network go hand in hand like a happily married couple fresh off to their honeymoon. The only difference between PIMP and others is - we want to WIN. Will we? It is yet to be proven otherwise and I'm not one to give up very easily.
A delicious thank you to @inthenow for the scrumdiddly cookies! Big shout and thank you to @summertooth and @dfinney for looking out through the rough times here. Mad love to all the people that have and are still, helping to make things easier. Those smiles above you? That's my 'why' of doing any of this. Bet. Before I forget to remind you, REMEMBER TO BE YOU! I always am, even when sifting through the ashes gives me emotional burns.
that other shit
Looking forward to BPII, I have one last possible hang-up but I'm pretty sure I will make it out! Glad you keep powering through my friend, you are the real deal fo sho, no fake ass I can't believe it's not Witty up in here.
Stay strong brother.
Also just realized I can pimp-slap someone :D
Thanks!

Insurance paperwork is no fun at all, but I'm glad they're giving you the full payout. Grieving takes time, as you well know, and all those feelings are totally valid. You're an incredible father, in case no one has told you today. And an incredible community leader. Hang in there, eh? I'm here if you need me. Sending big love. 💖
I always need you. And thank you, helps a lot to hear and read things. Miss you!
Hey, I observe that these days have been challenging in your life, let me tell you that I am with you with a good wish. I am sorry to hear about your pets. I hope you can make it through this challenge you have found in front of you, I trust we are making it.
I tell you that I am already in the hive engine market party, so I am taking some of my small liquidity to stimulate the pimp trade.
I wish you continued well, good health and your beautiful girls. A couple of cookies are in store for me ;)
Friendship and blessings!

I am glad the filing is done on your claim and you can start collecting $$ to rebuild. What a thing…. I am so thankful you and the girls made it through physically unscathed. You guys have a lifetime ahead for making new memories and that is the best news out of all of this stressful mess. ❤️
Now we get to find some storage cars!

Oh, @enginewitty, I've been praying for you!
Wow. Thanks for sharing. Kind of brings the personal side of things to light rather than just having you as Splinterlands guildmate. Sorry to hear of all the loss and again thanks for letting us see a little life behind the @enginewitty name.
Thanks for stopping in and reading and knowing me.

Be Strong! You got this!
what you've been through is emotionally exhausting and then add in supporting the rest of the family and how they are dealing with things, no wonder some days is hard to get out of bed.
Glad the Insurance company is stepping us, hopefully in a timely manner.
Trying to sleep was the hard part the first few weeks, now it's the opposite and thankful insurance is all aboard!
You're still standin tall, you get my nomination for:
Glad the treat got there intact, and I think I can see the fav. You and the fam are gonna make it thru and be on top yet again.
You been dealing with so much for long, and new things just been building up and then the house burned down. It pains me that you and yours had to go through that, and loosing a loving pet ♥️
Insurance paper... Ugh.. That took much from you and I am so happy you finnished it and you get full payment.
Life sure has many ways of testing us, and I hope from now on it is only happy times ahead and Smiles 🤗💋🤗
You are such a wonderful person inside out, and your Girls are Lucky to have you as a dad.
You know Im always here for you, when you need me (even when you don’t) 🥰😍😘 Love you
Love you too hun. Tests suck ass.
You are a great person, a great friend, one of the best in life and at Hive we love and admire you. Lots of good vibes to you, my friend. A hug from Onda Positiva. 🤗
I know I've been a bit absent from your posts and the discord, but that doesn't mean that my appreciation and admiration for you as a human being and friend, has altered in any way. On the contrary, every time I read you, I feel a lot of admiration for the kind of sensational and good person you are. Noble and generous, and above all, something that makes you unique is your foolproof sincerity. you rock and so does PIMP (my only token tag).
I love you to infinity. Everything will be back to normal and much better for you and your little princesses because good people only deserve to be happy and you are so much happier. A big hug, my dear friend. I love you very much and much more. 🤗
Happy to hear that you will get the compensation but that's equally true that no money will bring your Dog back and the burned down memories. Sometimes life puts us through these challenges to come out much stronger then ever before. I am sure you will bounce back.
Nothing to compare but the year 2020 had brought me down on my kneels where I almost lost my hubby and I lost my entire life savings, I thought life was almost done with me and I was done with it too. But here I am still in my happy spirits. I wish you get the same power and loads of strength to build back all that you have lost. You make new memories in the new place that you build up and you have the best of days ahead coming your way my dear. You may have lost lots in this but you still have Hope and Love to build up everything that you have lost once again. Loads of nature power to you ❤😘🤗
Awesome, nice compilations

The truth is that I am very sorry for the difficult situations you have had to face lately. But without a doubt in adversity you grow and if they don't bring you down they make you stronger and I trust that it will be so.
I'm going to have to read a little more about PIMP, the truth is that when I read this word I related it to Dreemport in their Discord meeting on Thursdays, although they used a different logo, so I assume it must also be something different.
Your post was very good. I'll understand a little more later 😉 😌
