the right to vote was fought for minorities and women across america, and now such a law that was fought for so strongly is now being taken away. but the supreme court will allow same sex marriages, how disgusting, two men cannot produce, two women cannot produce, it will take one man and one women to produce an offspring, the gay and lesbian communities need to wake up. and read what the bible says about homosexuality and the consequences of it, people may sing, dance, and rejoice over ruling of same sex marriages but trust me my friends, almighty god is not rejoicing over this, he is very upset over this, and when those in the gay community stands before all mighty god they will have to give account for what they have done, hell is very real, the lake of fire is very real, but if this is the life people want then I can only pray that almighty god will spare their soul'Division One Internationalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06838014447360364127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235652147249198161.post-91018807921304334472009-11-10T23:00:00.000-08:002009-11-10T23:25:43.740-08:00remembering stacie aka caramelI write this story about a girl I met in Washington DC sometime ago, I knew her as caramel, her real name stacie, I won't give her last name. that would be giving out too much information about her. I remember when we would often sit and chat alot when I would visit her at a place called louis rogue, she was in fact a very beautiful looking young woman. I even asked to join me at Division One International, but I guess in many ways she was and was not interested. I bonly wish she had decided to continue with it. she would have made a great representative to Division One International. I only wish that I could speak with her right now.<br />I can understand that she now has her own life to deal with now. but it would be nice to speak to her again. even for a brief moment would be fine. if she ever wants to come back and be apart of Division One International. I would most certainly welcome her back with open arms. I always told her that I would stand behing her and support her no matter what she decided to do. and I still stand by that conviction today. I will always be there for her.<br />there were alot of men in her life. and I was aware of this. but I wanted to show her that I did not hate her for this. that I did trust her judgement on many matters. I never really knew wether stacie lived in DC, Maryland or Virginia. not that it really mattered, but I really do miss her. and I really would like to see her again. maybe someday we will see each other again. as I write this message i hope that stacie does find this. i want her to know, that even though I was not exactly her Ideal candidate for a soul mate. I did care alot about her. I know that there will always be other girls, but not like stacie. not like my caramel. I don't know what it was that attracted me to you. but I will never ever get over it. where ever you are at this very moment, I do wish all the best. I wish you a very safe and happy thanksgiving holiday season, and a very merry christmas, I still hangon to that hope that maybe, just maybe one day I will see you again.<br />Take Care, and best wishes to you always.<br /> August H MalloryDivision One Internationalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06838014447360364127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235652147249198161.post-5653148546472056472009-01-28T14:19:00.000-08:002009-01-28T14:46:42.858-08:00The matter of being forced to give out personal information- story by August H MalloryAs I write this story, I could not help but to mention the fact that many poor people are forced to give out their personal information when trying to seek help from many social service agencies throughout america. as I see the poor and homeless being a victim of information theft. these agencies have the right now to pass your personal information to anyone they so choose. we hear about identity theft, well everybody if these agencies want to pass themselves off as you. they can. social workers are very nosey people, they want to know everything about you from the day that you were born. I personally only give them information that I want them to know and nothing more. trust me I stretch the truth as far as possible. on social service case worker told me that talking to alot of people was like pulling teeth. I cannot blame alot of people. it seems to me if a person comes to seek help from an agency why must a person go through so much. as I write this story, I hope that a person that is in need will try to question agencies as to why do they need so much information. I have discovered that many families do not want other people to know their information. so many families have closed off contact with family members just to keep their information private. this is sad but when you consider the many psychopaths out there. you cannot blame many people. however I do understand that with employment, employers need to know how to contact their employees. the freedom of information act is a dangerous thing for many people. and it seems that no one has any privacy anymore.<br />our private freedom has gone out of the window these days. I see why the poor and homeless prefer to sleep in the streets and prefer not to be bothered with this type of intrusion into their personal lives.<br />street newspapers do have some level of respect for a person's privacy. many street newspapers only ask you to sign a contract agreement not an application. I am all for that. at least your personal information is not thrown all across america. and many agencies need to realize this. and take this into consideration. oh' yes they will tell you that they are aware of all of this. but they don't practice privacy. maybe they will think differently when someone happens to throw all of their information across america.Division One Internationalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06838014447360364127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235652147249198161.post-21334457924593606602008-08-26T09:29:00.000-07:002008-08-26T09:43:47.622-07:00viewing the Division One International websiteDivision One International is a business, and I am hoping that our associates will treat DOI as a business. trying to get people to particioate in anything is hard. people these days just don't care to get involved with much these days. our website is <a href="http://ld.net/?22543008">http://ld.net/?22543008</a> and I am hoping that people will go to the internet and look for this site.<br />it has taken alot of work to get DOI up and running. and Iwish people would consider doing something more positive and constructive with their lives. coming to our website does not cost a dime. we just ask you to join us. Division One International is now thirteen years old. we are still a young company but we are growing very fast. I have to go over all of this over and over again.<br />It a tough thing to keep going. but I am now the only person willing to keep Division One International above water.but I have tried to get minorities to help but they prefer more mainstream businesses.<br />I cannot stop them from this however I do hope that they do get more work hours out of that. employment is not as plentiful as it once was. a person is lucky to get anytype work available these days.Division One Internationalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06838014447360364127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235652147249198161.post-90469019116451136762008-08-02T07:08:00.000-07:002008-08-02T07:39:20.477-07:00The moment of waiting for businessAs I often have wondered, why does it take some people like myself of course to fit in with the crowd. having grown up in the 1950s I can truly see that times have changed. sometimes for the better, and sometimes for the worst. as I travel from city to city and town to town, I see the make up of various business tactics.<br />in many african american operated businesses there is alot of vast discrimination in the system.<br />and this has been going on for many, many years. the sad thing is that there is no end to this community unfairness. I have gone as far as bringing in the poorest of poor people who were in my opinion very smart people they were just placed on the back burner. and fell through the cracks as they were lacking the skills needed to get jobs and housing, to create a business is a good thing but when you are trying to promote your business, it is hard to reach many people.<br />so how do you reach a audience that fears their own community. how do you curve this hate or jealousy maybe.<br />trying to create good relations is very important, but it is often very hard to do this with your own race. especially amongst african americans. we have such a violent streak of hate within us<br />that the anger and rage will make us take a life without question.<br />so how do we create good business relations. within the african american community. without all of the rage within us. for this moment of waiting for business can be both frustrating and confusing. I created Division One International. a business that I am very proud to have.<br />I listen to people who are unemployed and homeless, I listen to their struggles. and I try to be very compassionate to their needs. waiting for business and how often disappionting that it can be. with the opportunity that you have created for people is something tyhat you should be fond of. but what about the people who will not respond to your offers.<br />I often ask myself would I have done better if I have been a main stream business.Division One Internationalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06838014447360364127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235652147249198161.post-34197190276141888332008-05-19T16:35:00.000-07:002008-05-19T16:48:11.799-07:00To build an entreprise not just a companyWe stand proud of Division One International. a partnership which sells wholesale and retail items of every sort and style. as I bring in partners of every skill level. I am sure that Division One International will thrive on for years to come. I only hope that after I am gone my most trusted associates will continue to keep Division One International operating.<br />It would be ashamed to lose such a good business after spending many years of building it up. many of you truly need jobs. and the more jobs the more the economy rolls. a productive workforce is what america needs to continue its mission as a superpower. at Division One International, we have not just building a company, we want Division One International to be a world wide enterprise.and this will be the mission from here on out. loser companies I don't deal with. Division One International is a winning company and we will always be the front runner, in our field of expertise. in a complex world we need a complex business, and this is where Division One International takes the lead.Division One Internationalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06838014447360364127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235652147249198161.post-22898742580130803852008-05-17T17:34:00.000-07:002008-05-17T17:44:43.003-07:00Recognizing a partnershipAs I begin to write my story on how Division One International became a partnership. my partners are showing much interest in being apart of the company. to all mof them I thank them. to all of them I give the highest credit.<br />maybe it is a little uneasy seeing a minority business prosper. especially a black owned operated business. this still america, and mainstream america still has tgis thing about blacks, that blacks are not very good at being good leaders. no matter how much education blacks get.<br />I do protest to this. even other blacks have the habit of putting their own people down.recognizing a partnership is one of my many challenges. and for everyone whobecame partners thank you.Division One Internationalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06838014447360364127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235652147249198161.post-19087272396463801472008-05-14T11:39:00.000-07:002008-05-14T12:00:37.507-07:00The Partnership-Division One InternationalAs a partnership Division One International now has several partners across america. I am thrilled to know that there are so many people willing to work with me in my company.<br />as we have relocated from Washington DC to Seattle Washington, business has shown much improvement. I was very disappointed in Washington DC. I had expected more from the nations capitol. as I promote DOI. going from place to place is often a good tool to use, however it can also be very draining to an individual. to all of my partners at Division One International, I wish to thank you for your time and your sacrifice.<br />many times we will be confronted by corporate giants wanting to take over our enterprise, but I will not give in to being sold over to a larger firm. as a minority owned business we will have to work twice as hard to be recognized. we are in america. and as a minority firm we are the invisible people. I do strongly depend upon your assistance, and only you are the most important team at Division One International. I will be sending out more and more information as to what a partnership is and what a partnership does.<br />it is very vital that we as a team be very educated on what we sell and to whom we are selling our products to. the guidelines to operating a partnership will be placed on the forms given to you. the various articles will be outlined for you. I trust that you will read all rules and regulations regarding a partnership.Division One Internationalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06838014447360364127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235652147249198161.post-58379074636568625202008-04-11T17:37:00.000-07:002008-04-11T17:54:46.478-07:00Working on a long lost friendshipAs I try to recapture friendships from years past, I have felt many times that I need to create a good relationship with everyone, of course there are some people that very often you just cannot get along with no matter what you do. alot of prejudice and hate plays into this. there are people who I have known for years but never really cared to get involved with. but then I never really took the time to get to really know that person.<br />and this sort of thing goes on with all people of every background. as americans we don't trust one another, we will not look each other in the eye. we are afraid to greet one another in a friendly manner, what is wrong with americans, and no matter where we go a hostile shield goes up when we try to meet a person, this is especially true in the african american community. there is so much hostility in black america that it is unreal. I would just wish that americans in general would stop all of this walking around with chips on their shoulder. what is it that we must prove. there is alot of fight shows on television, and americans are feeding into this like a magnet. what are we trying to prove. why are we trying to prove something. I would like to like in a world where this is peace love and harmony.<br />but then again this is america, there is no such thing in america. I am always hearing everywhere I go about who is going to whip whose behind. F-this, F-that, that's all I hear anymore. ridiculous. just ridiculous,Division One Internationalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06838014447360364127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235652147249198161.post-80491404651598257572008-03-11T16:01:00.000-07:002008-03-11T16:33:30.792-07:00Working a Mega EnterpriseAs I continue to promote Division One International. it appears that I am getting the long awaited support that I have always been looking for. choosing the west coast was not the best choice but I do believe it was a smart choice. Seattle appears to be a good city to do business in. probaly far better than Atlanta was. I like Atlanta, but that city has gone to the dogs, and when ever I pass through there, I can see the deadness of that city. my goal is too make Division One International a mega enterprise. and in order to do that, I have look at cities like New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Milwaukee, and possibly Toronto Canada,<br />Los Angeles could be a venture for me but there is so much corruption in LA, I will have to re-think Los Angeles. I bring in people that I feel that will make good candidates to DOI, and I find these people in the most unusual places, places that you would never imagine finding prospective associates. but Division One International is moving forward. and my hopes of making this business successful is working far better than expected. we as a company are beginning to make money. we now have customers in China, Japan, Australia, India, Guam,<br />and all of the countries in Europe, Division One International is International. and I happy to be the first to say how honored that I am to be this company's chairman. our Telecommunications site can be logged onto http://ld.net/?22543008 and this is the key to what made us world wide. I would like to thank my first partner Lakisha Conyers for great enthusiasm and interest, and later my second partner Stacie Johnson in the Washington DC area. Alvin dixon-El and Arthur Mathis and everyone that decided to become apart of Division One International.<br />with your help and interest Division One International has pulled to the head of the pack. we were once known as the small business with the big corporate name, no longer, we are now up front with the heavy hitters. and we do plan to remain thais way, for as long as I am in charge of Division One International, we will continue to hold our own.Division One Internationalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06838014447360364127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235652147249198161.post-82575918929803368172008-02-07T12:36:00.000-08:002008-02-07T12:50:07.264-08:00The Corporate LogoDivision One International the Company, the small business with the big corporate name, has a company logo with a world globe as its Image. why the the world globe. this is to show that Division One International now works world wide. and with its team of 30 associates stong and growing we are headed for new frontiers. and as we grow we will see just how well our competitors can stand up to the pressure than we have with held for the past thirteen years. as I thank my many associates for the sacrifices that they have made. i want them to know personally that a career is in store for them. and as Division One International operates world wide so will each and every individual who comes onboard with DOI,<br />we are a world class company with world class people, highly educated and dedicated. to meet the demands of our customers across the globe.Division One Internationalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06838014447360364127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235652147249198161.post-17143059093546369112008-02-07T11:08:00.000-08:002008-02-07T11:40:36.597-08:00Company Host and Roast-first AnniversaryDuring the first annual host and roast in 2006, Division One International played host to 400 guest and fellow wholesalers from across the country. there were lots of entertainment and lots of food and drinks. DOI's Chairman August Mallory, isn't a bad dancer, even if he is in his fifties. Mallory is not only a businessman, but he is a Journalist, Novelist, member of the local chamber of commerce in Seattle Washington, he is the writer and author to the mystery series Marvin Hammerman which has gained him wide recognition. in 1971 Mallory was recognized as an honorary citizen, Mallory also served in the U.S. Navy (1976-1984) and his service is greatly appreciated. Mallory created Division One International with the hope of providing employment to those who truly desire to make their lives better. Mallory is an advocate for the poor and homeless, when asked what inspired him to take up such a cause his response was' after growing up poor myself and seeing how poor people are treated less than human, I decided that enough was enough, poor people have rights just the same as everyone else. they have a right to go to other places as well as average people do. and they should never be banned from a place just because they don't dress properly or talk with a high level of education.<br />Mallory has worked with organizations such as the National Coalition for the Homeless an advocacy group in Washington DC, that monitors the events that surrounds the homeless in America. as Division One International grows so will its customer base. and to log onto the long distance website go to http://ld.net/?22543008 the charity fundraiser website is www.magfundraising.com/divoneintern DOI sells many, many, things and catalogs are available upon request. and to learn more please call (206) 279-3884Division One Internationalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06838014447360364127noreply@blogger.com0
