"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

RIP Vin Scully (1927-2022)

The man was the voice of the Brooklyn and L.A. Dodgers from 1950 to 2016. Golden voice, warm, familial, super-knowledgeable about baseball and exuded class and humility. Best sports announcer ever imo.

One of his best moments ever, Kirk Gibson's home run in the World Series in 1988


Yep. the man was calling games for the $250 million payroll Dodgers at age 89. Outstanding, sir.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I watched that live on TV as a kid. RIP, Vin.
Same here, best sports moment ever. The man had awesome dedication to his craft.

Sports has a unique way of bringing people together, and this man had a special way of bringing out the best in baseball.

Sad day.

I remember sneaking a transistor radio to elementary school so I could listen to him call the world series at recess.

74 I believe, Dodgers vs. A's.

Listening to him while driving was like magic.

Sometimes I'd just forget where I was going so I could pull over and listen.

End of a long era.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I would've liked to hear his call of Ferguson's throw to home plate in that series
