One Luckì Day - Bita Vol. 1

Chapter 1 - LUCKÌ

Outcast"
I don't fit in, I try and I try
I don't fit in, I try....... and I try
The rest are all in.
They're ins
And I'm out.
I don't fit in beyond the shadow of a doubt
I'm thinking, I'm thinking, but what can I do?
So that I fit in like the rest
Like all of you
I just want to be normal, loved and along
I just want to fit in, but it's my size, I'm just wrong I don't fit in,
Maybe it's my socks?
No I'm done,
Since I don't fit in
I'll just think outside the box

    He was quite accomplished for a timid. Luckì was from a small town in Texas. He knows how fortunate he is to be present at Jade's event. Let alone how lucky to be the director of plans for the event.  Luckì-Prince-Cunningham, a professional scholar type with quirky talents and a keen sense for marketing; the only reason he was involved in Jade's event in the first place. He also happened to be handsomely charming in a mischievous, Idris Elba or Johnny Depp, "absent minded of what people thought of him" sort of way.  His confidence came from his father, Tom Cunningham, a New Yorker who once strived to be a fashion model.  People liked Tom.  For,Tom, was a well-mannered, highly traditional man and a profound connoisseur of proverbial chivalry; If you catch my drift.  His charm set him apart from others.

    Luckì's mother, Daisy, a real feminine, full figured southern bell.  She had a love for kids.  She taught arts and crafts to middle schoolers for a living.  Daisy Lee and Tom Cunningham met at an automobile trade show while she was attending a small private college in the area.  All many years before Luckì and his siblings were thought of.  Tom was salesman at the auto show.  Daisy and Tom had oddly different personalities yet they were understandably drawn toward one another because they were both fairly good looking people.  They differed extremely based on their ages and their lifestyle.  He's older than her.  Ten years older to be exact.  And their careers were different.

    She was barely 18 when they met but still, they hit it off.  Falling in love quickly like any other couple would've back then in the 1960's.  The two moved in together.  They had a moderate sized home where they thought to start a family. They had three children. Tom Jr, Davido, and Luckì Prince Cunningham which was the youngest of their three boys. Lucki was born in August of 1978.  The Cunningham's raised them in a "big little" Texan town called Midland. Often referred to as L.P. Or Prince, by his family, growing up Luckì certainly never considered himself a prince nor a popular liked individual.  He was near sighted. Therefore, never could function properly without his big square see and eye glasses.  As a result, Luckì Prince learned to always have his glasses with him.  His glasses among other things like his inhaler, a pen and even his favorite piece of equipment; a multi-color rabbit's foot key chain that he swore to be lucky. To say the least lucky was a corny individual. He wore a red bow tie, a white short sleeved shirt, black suspenders and khaki shorts to grade school every day.

    Throughout college Luckì would wear variations of the school store's clothing.   Sweatshirts and khaki shorts or pants that his parents paid for.  It was like a self-assigned uniform. Unlike the majority of his fellow college attendees, fashion was not an interest of his.  Dating was, for the matter, however, Luckì was no Casanova.  He; a fashion-less "fashion-est".  He Had also learned that if he wore the same hairstyle then he wouldn't have to think much about his hairdo throughout his days. He'd simply comb over and gel the top to blend with the side, place a part down the right, sides trimmed tight. The Gel added a shimmer shine effect.  "Slick" he thought.  Luckì figured uniforms made his days easier. 

Thinking  "One less step to take care of."

        He, also felt, because he always knew what to wear and how to do his hair, he, wouldn't have to struggle with choosing a look. The everyday outfits were ready to go.  This pleased him.  Simply because saving time in the day for working and studying was important to him.  He knew doing so could help him reallocate his time and focus toward a deeper more meaningful chain of thought.

    His main short term goal: was to figure out how to unify a b2b marketing strategy for clients with similar products in different but comparable regions across the world.  He sought to become the best in marketing and to his beliefs, his success came from his lucky charm.  Luckì was an introverted person but a very happy man.  Throughout his college career he learned "search engine optimization tactics, web design, network marketing and he developed other profound skills in advertising and marketing.  He began a successful career in social marketing, media, event planning and technical networks.

    Luckì's ultimate goal for his career was to create a networking platform that people could use to engage with others in a unique and culturally inspirational way.  Post college, Luckì, landed a job at Wilhemehna & Rogers' Co, a world renowned event planning firm based out of Las Vegas.  Luckì's work at the firm scored him recognition from the leaders, managers and the top executives.  Although Luckì wasn't very social on personal level.  He possesses outstanding networking and marketing skills along with his great work ethic. These skills set him apart from the others on the job.  Similarly to the way his father's charm helped his father in his sales jobs. 

Luckì's popularity grew over time with the quality and demand for his work.  As The firm took on higher end Hollywood entertainers and sports talents  as well as other high end corporate clientele,  (such as, some of the top banks and major organizations) room for advancement grew for Luckì and other up and coming agents and current employees at the firm. They would begin to hold banquets for their most veneered customers.  With the firm's continued success and growth, they, would eventually need more leaders.  They actively sought out commendable agents to promote. Unbeknownst to, Lucki, he was on the radar for a Promotion.

    Wilhemehna & Rogers' Co. were often hired, more specifically, for their ability to promote a brand while creating a fantasy like experience for the end-user.  They were also known for bringing major events to life for any market.   This successful  reputation that the firm has is directly related to, Sal Rogers, the owner and his childhood experiences performing on tour in a famed circus.  The firm has been applauded for showcasing live wild animals, star studded platinum acts, and for having hosts from the upper echelon of Bollywood & Hollywood at their events.

    Even with all the professional success, Luckì was still a corny single man.  Though he was-deemed to be a valuable part of Wilhemehna & Rogers Co. over all this time, he still never learned to date.  On the bright side he was somewhat of a goody two shoe; whom  never found himself in any trouble.

    His dad, Tom would say
"luckily for Luckì he had the charm of a Cunningham hidden somewhere in his blood." 

One day Wilhemehna & Rogers' Co., was hired to plan and promote Jade's Gala.  Lucky for Luckì . He was actually chosen as the lead agent of the event by the owner and CEO Sal Rogers himself.   He was expected to produce an utmost experience of excellence for the hostess and the attendees.

    "Make sure you have your lucky charm on you when you're planning this one." laugh's Sal as he picks Luckì as the Wilhemena & Rogers Co.' Agent of the Gala.
"In fact bring that rabbits foot  with you to the gala!"  He continued.

Meanwhile co-workers were unhappy and bitter over "Luckì's luck!"  They felt that they were overlooked and that he was estranged to Hollywood's cool. They diagnosed Luckì as a "swagger-less joke."   Knowing and voicing, Luckì, as someone that carried a corny lucky charm they laughed  thinking he certainly wasn't lucky with the ladies.  What was decided and done was decided and done.  All of Wilhemena & Rogers co. staff were absolutely stunned by the executive's decision to promote him.  Not only shocked that the man that cycled through three suits and one hair style, five days in a work week, 365 days in a year could be made the lead agent of an event for such a high-profile, beautifully dolled and decorated client. But also shocked as to whom The firm didn't pick as the agent for the Gala. Considering the firm had decorated retired Sports players including nfl and mlb hall of famers staffed as well as some well known actors and veneered veterans on staff.  Many were a-posed to the firms decision, yet they couldn't have been more wrong.  Sal had his hunch about Luckì.  He was sure he could count on him to deliver.
