"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Jason Giambi admits to steroids

"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.

I'm just happy Steinbrenner is now eating that 80 mil. The beginning of the downfall of the Evil Empire? Hopefully.
Just more proof that the YANKEES SUCK HARDCORE!!
not likely. the current MLB policy is if someone gets caught for steroids 5 times they get suspended for a year.Originally posted by Broham
Hopefully he handles it correctly and bans this guy for at least a season and cracks down on testing.
thats what i heard on the radio this morning
But the Yankees can void his contract.Originally posted by high nrg

"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.

That's probably true. I worked with college baseball players a couple years ago and about 1/2 to 3/4 of them used steroids.Originally posted by MindOverMatter
What's new, almost EVERY pro athlete uses them. If you're gonna start baning them for it, may as well shut down the whole league.

Are we going to find out that Barry Bonds used steroids as well?Originally posted by Eternal
Ok, if you haven't heard, Jason Giambi admitted to a Balco jury that he used steroids provided to him by Barry Bond's trainer.
Any thoughts?

Looks to me like an attempt to save face before all the accusations went his way.

Breaking news...Bonds just admitted to a grand jury that he "unknowingly" took steriods that his trainer provided him with.

Looks like Hank Aaron will still be the man then!!!

"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.

What the fvck does that have to do with this?Originally posted by Derek Flint
Just last week pretty much everyone here thought how great it was that Ron Artest was a thug, but now, steroids are such a bad thing.
You are the master of taking things out of context.

We're talking about high-profile, professional athletes and their behavior, that's what that has to do with this.Originally posted by il_duce

And just what did I take out of context?
Do you even know what that means or are you just trying to sound like you actually know what the fock you're talking about?

You're an idiot. Bonds CHEATED. Now, I don't care if anybody takes steroids away from a sport, do what you want, but he cheated and screwed it up for the clean players, fans, everyone. Artest was disrespected and went after some street revenge...what Artest did has nothing to do with the sport itself.Originally posted by Derek Flint

Giambi was too obvious though & so is Bonds.
"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 an old, boring sport whose golden age passed decades ago.
That's WHY the juicing rules aren't enforced properly...because if they were all clean there'd be no home runs and it'd be boring as hell to watch.
Your over 5000-post count with 4.5 posts per day gives me a tought your always-so-dear-little girlfriend of yours should take you to a walk outside sometime. You must be pale as snowman in a freezer.Originally posted by Eternal

Dude, what Artest did was far worse than what Bonds allegedly did.Originally posted by One on One

Artest criminally assaulted paying fans.
Street revenge? Is that how you want to rationalize it?
"Yo, you dissed me so I'm gonna kick yo ass"
More like typical street thug punk behavior.
It's that type of idiot mentality that has people shooting each other because they got "dissed"
Yeah, Artest is going to be out over 5 Mil over a thrown beer - what a dumbass.
At least Bonds didn't beat up any fans.
Amazing that people are even attempting to rationalize Artest.
