"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.

Just got back from 2 weeks in New York City where I started a new job 7 days before Hurricane Sandy struck.

Got to see Times Square where I stayed last week before all hell broke loose. Everyone needs to see that at least once - it's incredible.

Once Sandy hit, it was like a post-apocolyptic scene: subways closed, airport closed, Wall street closed, my flight home cancelled, gas stations out of gas, people running out of food, no credit cards accepted, they closed my work for 2 days and I'm hourly (so no pay). And worst of all, they cancelled Big Bang Theory for press conferences with the Governor. Seriously though people are suffering there, with freezing temperatures on the way. It's a preview of what America will be like when the US Dollar collapes, so be prepared.

After getting home last night I need to get back on a plane tomorrow for 2 more weeks there.

New Yorkers are real people though. Tougher to get to talk to, but once you get through to them they are great. People have to struggle to survive there so they are more alive, though standards of living are much lower (for most). Also, people never get offended there like in Texas (or on the forum). You can be totally off the wall and they'll just laugh, which is great.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

It's pretty much like any other city in the US. People from all over. You just go out and meet people. It's like dudes who just assume every hot chick is an AW etc. You don't know them till you meet them and they prove what you originally thought.

On a side note. Most streets in the suburbs still have no power. (Mine at least doesn't yet.) and I'm home freezing my azz off as the heat isn't working for the past few days till they repair the lines that went on fire across the street knocking out power to half my place.
