"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.

Should I stand beneath the breakers? or should I lie with death my bride?

Damn you! Now I've got it stuck in my head!

Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving to your isle.
And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me;
Let me enfold you."
Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you.
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was full sail? (or, where you hare when I was fox?)
Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken lovelorn on your rocks.
For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow."
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow.
I'm as puzzled as a newborn child.
I'm as riddled as the tide.
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or shall I lie with death my bride?
Hear me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you."
"Here I am. Here I am, waiting to hold you."


That song has been smacked around so much... good tune.

Stand beneath the breakers, dude, totally - all day long. Don't go out like a punk and lie with death your bride.

Don't go in the water! Look what happened to his son!

Beautiful song, well covered by this Mortal Coil and Elvis impersonator 'The King.' Check out his 'Gravelands album of covers of dead stars, it's awesome.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

And Lost Witness for you electronica fans. Tiesto smacked it up, too.

I love Plant for his older work with Zeppelin, it is unfortunate that, judging from his latter work, that he seems to be losing his remarkable voice. He can no longer reach the powerful high notes like he did as a young man without warbling. At times he sounds like Elmer Fudd! Still, he is a legend.
