I just came back from lunch where just by smiling and saying hello I started a conversation that led into a networking opportunity. Networking doesn't takes lot of extra time. It easily blends into your everyday life. When it comes to networking, a lot of people are throwing out their golf clubs and sixty five dollar per plate "Network Seminars" and heading to they're favorite social spot with plenty of business cards.

Networking isn't what it use to be, it's much more fun.

When I first heard about Aaron Proctor's bid for Pasadena Mayor, my first reaction was more of a childish exhilaration because someone with a radical appearance was standing up and making himself a target for ridicule. I didn't take him seriously.

I thought more of what the election coverage could do to boost traffic to this site than take into consideration that he is serious about helping his fellow man and possessed the necessary skills, moral standing, and ambition needed as a leader. That was until I sent him ten questions to answer on why he should be elected Mayor. Not only did he answer my questions, he excelled in the interview. This man genuinely wants the responsibility and has proved to me that he is the best choice and the only candidate that qualifies to hold the position.

Aaron Proctor is making his first bid for public office as Mayor of Pasadena, California. He isn't your typical politician though. Aaron Proctor wears a leather jacket and eyeliner. He has a love for dark music and his appearance can be upsetting for the average suburban voter. But he is disproving the one-dimensional stereotypical notions about "Goths."
