"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

It seems that the brittleness and prospects of our economy are becoming more and more painfully obvious. Many businesses (specially retail) would've collapsed if it wasn't for the Holiday season.

Holiday season is when retailers start turning a profit.

To top it off people keep complaining about how Christmas is loosing its meaning because the word "Christmas" is getting replaced with "Holidays" to not offend some people. They don't get it that Christmas lost its meaning many decades ago and its importance in the western world is but an economical one.

Don't you guys agree to this?
 

"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.

For Christmas I will not buy anything on impulse. I will only buy quality and I will keep it until I am bored to death. I am looking at some gifts right now.

Remote control helicopter for my dad. Last year I bought him a cheap one. BIG MISTAKE. Thing broke, no replacement parts. I saved a few dollars upfront to lose all my dollars in a couple of days. I will buy a quality mini remote helicopter form a company that does this right with a full catalogue of replacement parts. E-Flite.

For myself I bought myself a pair of AKG headphones. Really nice. Cost me $200 for them, I probably should have bought the $500 model but I can repair this one because everything is screwed together with standard screws and cable connectors. Nice. These I can keep for years and enjoy the hell out of them.

For my mom, I'm not really sure. I don't have the money to spend but life is short so I'll probably splurge and buy her something pretty like an aquarium. I'm not rich, I don't have money, but I'm not in debt because I know when to spend and when to shut my wallet.

I've never bought or sought X mas presents, and only rarely bought presents of any sort, at all, for anyone. I worked at Wally's last night, and the shelves and shelves of junk toys, etc, are puke-worthy. If I had kids, I'd never let them near that place, much less go inside.
