A Tip From the World's Greatest Playboy 
Did you see "The Adventurers", based on the Harold Robbins novel? The lead character, Dax Xenos, was based on real life European playboy Porfirio Rubirosa.
Sammy Davis Jr. once asked him, "How do you do it? Attend every party, play polo, date women, go yachting, day after day, yet you always look good and never tired?"
"What I do Sammy, is pace myself. I never go to a party too early or stay too late. I drink only a little and watch what I eat. And even if I'm entertaining a woman, I always get my sleep."
This is great advice for anyone wanting to live the JBLS. On films I've directed, the amateurs party every night and are zombies by the second week. The professionals are fresh, energetic, and prepared everyday. Why? They pace themselves. They sleep.

Yeah, that IS some pretty good advice. I guess it kind of goes along with the saying about doing everything in moderation.
Here's to finding the right pace....
ahh yes, pacing on the drinking is important... not on the women!
...ah, the renewal and heeling of sleep. Good advise. Balance.
MuSe
hmm...

ok so you have no idea who i am and who can blame you, but as a method of um...cross polinating the "following" for my site i am going around commenting on others sites and hoping someone checks into it. right now its not entirely well-written. its witty though so i hope you check it out. or dont. i give you e-props. shiny shiny e-props!!! ok bye
moderation in all things. the zen of bond!
Hmmm. Does this mean you're the next Bond? If so, does that mean you'll be "entertaining" any of us pretty girls from Xanga anytime soon? *Giggling* Just kidding! I've seen way too many Bond movies to know that the girls never really get to entirely possess the "Bond" man. Such a shame though. It would have been fun.
Damn I'm late with my comments...Usually I'm first! Good ole Sammy, a man I admire.
Wow, that's really good advice.
Hmm......
that's truely the secret to success..
My Gad!!! THAT's what I've been doing wrong all the time!
Thanks, Paul!
Seriously: it's all true. Especially your advice on entertaining women. An energy absorbing activity if ever there was one.
I used to worry about being awake enough, now it's about getting enough sleep. It's not how much you are awake but the quality of it.
True. This is good advice. This is a power rule. Because you are most magnetically attractive and charismatic when you are at your most relaxed. Get plenty of sleep, don't overindulge in anything. Another observation on power. If certain people see that you burn the candle too brightly..i.e, heavy drinking, loss of control etc, then you get a negative reputation. GUARD YOUR REPUTATION AT ALL COSTS
I really liked the movie! I willhave to get the book and read it ! Going back through the looking glass!
