"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.

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?
 

"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.

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 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.

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