"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.

This current decade has been scary.

Take TV. In the 90's, most of the people you saw on TV, they were upwardly mobile, they were professional, they had standards, they were someone you could relate to or had a crush on.

Even a silly show like Saved by the Bell.

Or Walker Texas Ranger. Cosby.

The 2000's have been....a sweaty, naked guy on the beach on Survivor.

I think there's alot of symbolism there.

The 90's were about professionals making gains. The 2000's, people are spent, they're dirty, sweaty, unshaved making firewood on the Survivor Beach.

When I flip through reruns of 80's and 90's shows, no one was like that. It doesn't seem real now.

Or the NBA. Even as recently as 95, 97, MJ, Pippen, Olajuwon, R Miller, Barkley, Costas, Hannah Storm, Peter Vescey on NBC.

Now it's a bunch of idiots. In 10 years! WTF?!?

Wrestling, from the early 80's, through 96/97/98, it was watchable. It's like it got turned off after that.

It's all been too quick.
 

"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.

For all these people claiming there's no more good music, pull your head out of your bums. Stop listening to mainstream radio and dig a little deeper. There's so much good music out there I can't even keep up with all the good stuff coming out.

I think the high point for music was the late 80s, early 90s. Everything went downhill in 1994 when Kurt offed himself and everyone was trying to be cooler than Snoop Doggy Dogg.
Funny how you go into the bars now and the songs that always get everyone going are the old 80s-90s jams they play that everyone knows, even the kids born well after their time.

I dunno what the future of music is, but it's due for another revolution soon.
