"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.

I’m thinking of watching an Indie movie right now.

An Indie movie is a less budget film, no special fancy effects, just intriguing storylines and great acting.

I’ll name a few which comes to mind :

- ‘ The Fundamentals of Caring’ starring Paul Rudd, in it he stars as a caretaker with a wheel chair bound kid and they form a cool friendship.

- ‘ Good Will Hunting’ starring Robin Williams and Matt Damon….we all know this one, this film won an academy award.

- Manchester by the Sea ….I’d like to see this one, saw several clips on youtube.

What’s your favorite indie films?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I always had a problem with the “Indie” tag being associated with already established Hollywood names. It’s sort of like going into a chain restaurant… that is trying to give off the appearance of a down home ‘mom and pop’ restaurant.

Anyway…here’s a few that came to mind.

Pink Flamingos

Slacker

Web Wilder; Private Eye - The Saucers Reign

Faster Puzzycat Kill Kill (I had to replace the two S’s with Z’s to avoid the word being censored).

I fuuking hate how the spell the word: "Indie", like it's a girl's name. It's as if they're assuming that anything that's outside the mainstream of anything is effeminate.

Repo Man is pretty good
Clerks
Friday (in honor of Deebo Samuel and the hordes of 49ers in SF)

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Does Eraserhead qualify as indie? If so, that’s my pick.
