"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.

Lol so if we run out of oil, will we go back to fighting battle on horsebacks and if I want to go to Europe will I have to take a ship?
 

"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.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

what about offshore drilling in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico?

What about shale oil in the rocky mountains?

I've been hearing from my professors that there is a sh!t load in the rockies.

I'm confused. How is the price of oil and the price of gas related? How come the price of gas fluctuates wildly from country to country and in the US state by state. Is it really the market price?

The national average for the US for regular is $3.59. In the city I live in the lowest price is $3.85

I'm getting my data from Gas Buddy
Oil = gasoline
gasoline = oil

country to country? taxes mainly
state to state? taxes mainly

Gasoline is NOT the same as oil. Oil has to be refined in a refinery.

So, oil goes to a refinery...and from a refinery we get gasoline, diesel, kerosene, jet fuel, asphalt, etc.

Country to country? A series of issues...transportation costs, maybe they have to import their refined products, maybe their emission laws require a lower sulfur product, etc. Same goes with state to state.
 

"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.
