Hey Guys,
I've been trying to attract this one girl for a little while now. With every other woman, I'm basically ok. I can flirt...etc..etc..etc... But with this one... I totally lose my cool... everything... To make a long story short. I tried EVERYTHING with very little result… I ended up not just blowing it I think I ROYALLY blew it. (How I blew it is not the focus of this post) Damn! I really liked her too! She totally avoids me now. What makes it worse is she is a part of my social circle of friends. And now, all my friends are acting like they feel so sorry for me (since they're the ones that tried to set us up).
Well I was feeling pretty low last night and I just happened to be watching "Heart's and Soul". Up comes a song called "Walk Like A Man". I sat there listening to it thinking... Yeah, here I’m being a total putz, a whiner. I made the mistake of letting it get to me too much and not being A MAN about it.
To paraphrase a prayer for serenity in the context of being a man. A man, A REAL man, has COURAGE to go after what he wants. A REAL man also has the STRENGTH to accept the things he can't or shouldn’t have in his life and just "walk away" from it. The challenge is the WISDOM to know the difference, I think that only comes with time, experience, success and unfortunately failure. I think though, deep down you know when to call it quits.
Anyway, that song really picked me up. It picked me up so much I got a copy of it.
So my fellow DJs whenever you're feeling low, dejected, rejected and/or just pissed off because of a girl. FORGET about it! BE A MAN ABOUT IT.
Here are the lyrics in case anyone's interested:
WALK LIKE A MAN
Walk like a man
Oh, how you tried to cut me down to size
Tellin' dirty lies to my friends
But my own father said "Give her up, don't bother
The world isn't comin' to an end"
He said,
Walk like a man, talk like a man
Walk like a man my son
NO WOMAN'S WORTH CRAWLIN' ON THE EARTH
So walk like a man, my son
Bye bye baby, I don't-a mean maybe
Gonna get along somehow
Soon you'll be cryin' on account of all your lyin'
Oh yeah, just look who's laughin' now
Walk like a man, fast as I can
Walk like a man from you
I'll tell the world "forget about it, girl"
And walk like a man from you
Walking
