"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I just placed a huge wager on imawildandcrazyguy. If this was a regular allowence race he would be 3 to 1.. he finished a half a length behind the fav Curlin (who I think will actually win) in the Derby, and was at least 5-6 wide the entire trip, and didn't go to the Preakness, so he's fresher.. i was watching the tote board since this morning and he was HAMMERED down from 20 to 1 to 7 to 1.. seems like I'm not the only one with that in mind. he's bred to go a route of ground as well.

I like Curlin, I think he will win, but picking winners and making money are two different things when it comes to handicapping... there are too many questions to take curlin at 6-5, distance, is he tired... I think he will, but I can't take 6-5....

didn't even mess around with exotics, no need to
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

update:

best race I have seen all year. I actually did a little bit (by litteraly a couple of dollars) better than breaking even.. I had imawildandcrazyguy HEAVY, but I also liked Rag's, and I hated hard spun, so the only logical play besides imawildandcrazyguy was rags/curlin excta box, with tiago/imawildandcrazyguy on the bottom. might have been the easiest race to handicap in a while, but I was trying to hit a homerun, and if hard spun would have done what he was supposed to, he might have, they went the half in :50 that took Tiago and imawildandcrazyguy out the race.

Larry Jones (trainer of hard spun) keeps trying to rate (means hold back) an unrateable horse. hands down the fastest 3YO in the country, he breezed 5F in less then 58 seconds before the derby.. under 1 minute flat is considered a top quality horse. I figured this was the race that he would actually go to the front and press the issue. but no, dumbass trainer. Anyway, it was a hell of a race
