"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.

I know that political discussion is forbidden here, and I'm not usually one to even care about these issues but I cannot stay silent about this and am hoping to spread the awareness on a horrible event which is going on right now in Burma.

Basically thousands of monks took to the streets to protest the government tyranny and they were joined by hundreds of thousands of Burmese people.

The military police responded by massacring thousands of peaceful protesters under machine gun fire in the streets and they have also killed international journalists who were reporting on the scene.

At this point there is a full media blackout on the event, and all eyes are on China and the UN security council to step in and pressure Burma's rulers to stop the killing.

I signed the following petition to support this pressure

http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_burma/tf.php?CLICK_TF_TRACK

The petition is already up to almost 500,000 in a few days and is being advertised in newspapers around the world, delivered to the UN secretary general, and broadcast to the Burmese people by radio.

The website is trying to get to 1 million signatures this week, please sign the petition and tell everyone!
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I did not see that, but I do notice a few Burma videos are missing and Youtube has disabled comments on other videos. Kinda weak if you ask me.

It was all over Australian news. It didn't say how many had been killed, or else underexagerated it. Can't some democratic countries do something? It isn't that much different from 'freeing' the Iraqies.
