Dwyane Wade is definitely a DJ.
NBA Finals, anyone?
NBA Finals, anyone?
"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.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Wade is one of the best players in the NBA right now, but I don't want the Heat to win. The traitor doesn't deserve another ring.

I've gained at least 15lbs of muscle mass. I've gotten way more comfortable with public speaking as I am now a tour guide (job). I have gotten over my oneitis from highschool. Very, very far away.doctoroxygen said:
I am now more attractive to the girls and I have bagged one in the past few months and I am now working on two others.
I have managed to say "**** YOU" to everyone who tells me to do things, gives me advice for no reason, or plains just tries to **** with me. Yes, my own family also. They also respect me more and I have better relations with my mother and father. I am not as nice as I was before.
And so on and so forth......

So you know for a fact that when I say WHO GIVES A ****. It means something.
And really. No one gives a **** about some basketball player. Just cause he's your idol and you drool at the sight of his sweaty body moving around in scantily clad clothing playing basketball DON'T MEAN JACK ****.
So he's a DJ. So WHAT?
Are you?
No. You are not.
Hell, neither am I. But as I am closer than ever before (and alot closer than you) I can say; STOP WASTING TIME ON THIS CRAP.
Watching a game is okay. Fantasizing about one of the players is not.

Bruce you're a jackass. Just because YOU don't care about basketball, doesn't mean other people don't. Stop being a troll and grow up.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
With 36 points in Thursday night's victory, Dwyane Wade has now scored 129 points in this series. That's the second-most points ever scored by an NBA player in his first four career games in the Finals. The top four: Allen Iverson (141), Wade (129), Willis Reed (127) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (127).
Guy never stops amazing me. Hopefully he'll bring me home a championship cuz lord knows the only other one of my teams that can is the Marlins.

Wasn't around in 1972 & 3...doctoroxygen said:
Marlins are good every couple of years. Actually now that I think about it, the Devils won a 3 years ago? and the Seminoles just can't win anything anymore. Jeez.. Better than a lot of fans, I guess.

Culpepper should be good for you, though. I love Miami teams, despite my location as far from Miami as is possible in the contiguous United States.

Hopefully... I'm hoping that now that he can't run like he use to, that causes him to work on an arm that was second in the league behind Manning's record setting 49? in 2004-05. I also hope he's not the 05-06 Culpepper. Should be interesting. Maybe even Harrington resurrecting his career if Culpepper can't step in week 1 vs... get this, Ben Roethlisbeger's team.

Basketball is cool, go heat. Who cares if Wade is a DJ? How about you all stop attacking each other. Shut up, drink a beer and do something productive.

What are you guys doing watching basketball while the World Cup is on?

So who bribed the refs for game 5? Whenever the Mavs BREATHE on Wade they call a foul.
"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.
