"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

Bling brought this up.. if you read this, DON'T say where it came from.
To the others DON'T talk about politics.
To anybody who has read 'the prince' DON'T talk about how he failed his country.

I want to know how his words changed the world.

Niccoli Machiavelli... The progenator. This man turned corrupt nations on their heads. Today though life has now become adept at being lazy and focuing on self and not your nation.

The only nation I see that is devoted to patriotism is in the middle east. It's too bad their minds are clouded by religion and can't see the harm they are doing.....

Come on people don't any of you know about the history of the original mack, Machiavelli?
