"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

does what we eat define who we are?

a while back i had a writing class by this crazy woman. it was supposed to be about the evolution of american thought, but it turned out to be about food. yeah, she was a little bit weird... never thought people could write such a big book describing foods (such as pudding) with paragraph after paragraph...

anyway, one of the main ideas of the class was that what/how we eat defines who we are. at first, i thought this was rediculous, but as time goes on im beginning to wonder. maybe she was onto something?

do you rush your meals in-between studying/work? do you eat delivery alone in your room? do you have feasts in a tuxedo with the mayor? do you eat with lots of friends? with your gf?

how about what you eat? fruit and salads? fast food? protein shakes? microwave dinners? junk food?

or drink? coffee, water, juice, alcohol, chocolate milk, XTREME-sugar-loaded-super-energy boosters?

perhaps what and how we eat says more about us than we may think.
discuss.
 

"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.

Sure, if you eat burgers almost every day you might be an average Joe, while if you eat Sushi or Italian you might be a little more "sophisticated" and high up in the social status. I guess those are stereotypes given to people by what they eat.

Personally one lesson I have learned is the importance of having a family dinner. Sitting down at the table with the whole family, saying grace, eating together and spending time together. This tradition that is a ritual of family harmony and unity is dying. Nowonder society as a whole is going down the toilet. I personally will institute this if I ever have a family of my own. Whether we just had pizza delivered, or are eating a dinner made at home by the wife, my family will eat together at the table. No getting a plate and taking it to your room, no music or tv at dinner time. A nice quiet family dinner is a good thing :)
