"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.

If the entire internet would change a celebs birthday because they know we know it was a ritual. What else you think they're hiding? Ask yourself that question.

It does show age 42 in the wayback machine that takes snapshots of websites throughout time.


You can use the way back machine to find other sites too before they were changed.

 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I really hope government or the "special" interest groups don't take over that site because that is one of the few things we can reference these days in the digital age.

digital = manipulation
analog = truth

Think about how many history eBooks could be changed at any time vs analog hard copy books? Same for photos and such...
I'm just afraid of reality manipulation in the digital environment we live in.

They are currently debating what to do with the Black Panther character. They have basically two choices:
1) Recast T'Challa
2) Let another character become the next Black Panther (possibly Shuri).

At first glance, #2 seems like the better option. It's consistent with the comics concept, and it avoids possible accusations of disrespect toward Boseman. Really, the only drawback to this option is that you lose the T'Challa character, which is a classic character, so I'm not sure it's the best idea. Other actors have played The Joker after Heath Ledger's death, and will continue to. Batman has been recast, as has James Bond. Would Chadwick Boseman want T'Challa to disappear from film? I actually think it might be more respectful to recast him.
 

"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.

Chadwick is so synonymous with T’Challa at this point. I think the better option will be to have Shuri become the Black Panther. Chadwick as T’Challa is iconic.

This is one of my favorite SNL sketches, T'Challa on Black Jeopardy. This is from a few years back, but Boseman does look pretty thin here.
