Friday’s Conversation Topics
It’s been a hard year, hasn’t it?
What? we’re still in the first month? Dammit. I need a vacation already….
Let’s gather together and create some interesting steam to power through the usual ugly breaks of silence that kill any type of connection you may have (almost) had. Here are some news articles from the past week to get you through the conversation with something fun to say:
- Apple’s Siri is going to take over your life. Yup, you’re going to rely on her to keep your home warm, or cold, appropriately, as well as write your emails and help you buy things. If you don’t have an iphone 4s now you’re going to be sorry. If you do score extra success points as you retell this story with real-time examples.
- Porn producers offer easy cash is just a variation of the Nigerian Email Scam with the added benefit of physical threats and no overdraft protection.
- “Ass-man has a new definition”. So there’s this guy that happens to have in his possession a part of Saddam Hussein’s bronze ass and he can’t sell it off at auction, not for lack of bids (supposedly) but for a lack of “high enough” bids. Then the Iraqi Consulate hears of this and they want the piece of ass back – because it’s a piece of “cultural history”. One can only guess what they’ll do with it but you can bet it won’t be the first guy’s idea of “art”!
- Do you remember the flag with the snake on it “Don’t tread on me” it said? Well, the game maker Saga has gone it one better with games that say “Pee on me”. Seriously. “Toylets” are urinal game consoles pitting one man’s strength 9of stream) against another. Ugh. I hope they aren’t planning on any “mixed couples” games…. LOL. The curiously named “The Northern Wind, the Sun and Me” is designed to stimulate a player’s interest in the opposite sex. The aim is to blow a girl’s skirt up and reveal her underwear, with the harder the player urinating, the harder the wind blowing.
Meet someone special.
Have a great weekend!
Do You Like Candles? Dating Profile Headline of the Day
What are the three things that are the most important during a dinner date?
The man, the mood and the momentum.
Yes, the pressure is on you to be at your best.
The Man: You’ve got to be the man that sparks not only her curiosity to want to learn more about you but you have to be the man that she wants to be with because of your actions and positive attitude.
The Mood: Don’t bring troubles to the dinner table. The last thing anyone wants to hear, especially a dinner date, is about the awful day you’ve had or issues in your past. Stay upbeat and she will too.
The Momentum: Have a plan of conversation topics based on the interests she has first and what you share second. Be a great listener, ask good questions that do not require a simple yes or no answer and you’ll carry the dinner date to a successful conclusion that will leave her wanting more.
For your personal ad headline today give this a try:
“Can you hear the song in the air tonight?”
Have a great day!
When life gives you lemons…
My Happy Face Eye
… Make lemonade!
(And I have a happy face eye now)

Personal Ad Headline of the Day: Positive Thinking
Positive Thinking
Don’t you just love people that say to you “If you think positively then you’ll feel better,” or some such related nonsense?
I’d answer them that if you always think positively how would you know it? Without a negative thought to counter all that positivity how would you know it?
And a change in mood can be a good thing. It can relieve stress as well as help you to find true happiness, even true love. And sadness is a part of that, don’t you think?
For your personal ad headline today try this:
“I am a positive thinker, I think.”
And let them figure it out.
Have a great day!

Be strong enough to choose.
Others may rate your performance for things here and there. Others may hold sway over the choices that are offered to you.
But do not be remiss in thinking that you never have a choice, the choice to do or not to do is always yours.
And you have to also remember that your choice will always have implications on others.
No matter what the decision is to be made I urge you to be strong enough to make the choice, to choose, no matter how painful or fateful. Choose.
If you decide not to make your own choice you can be certain there are others that will make the choice for you, usually to a much worse end.
Be true to yourself, you are the judge and jury of your life.
For your personal ad headline today give this a try:
“I am strong enough to choose, are you?”
Have a great day!
Welcome to 2012!
Welcome to 2012
There were obstacles and you worked your way over them. There were detours and you made it back on course.
You may not be exactly where you want to be at this moment but rest assured that you will get there soon if you do not surrender your will to continue.
The change of the calendar is not the only change you’ll need to make in 2012. You’ve learned a lot about yourself over the past year. New friends have been made and you’ve reconnected with old friends. Your family is still there, wishing nothing but the best for you.
Life is nothing if not a continuing learning experience, and if you learn your the past you will be successful in your future.
Good luck and Happy New Year!

2012: The Coming Storm
I want to warn you about getting caught up in the “New Year” crap that you’re going to see in the next few days.
Every New Year brings us new resolutions that we promise to ourselves, how to do this and that better… the list goes on, doesn’t it.
I’m not someone that believes in the end of the world either. There’s enough doom and gloom in our own backyards to worry about some prophet or calendar proclaiming the end of all things. It’s just bullcrap.
If you feel the need to make promises to yourself that’s fine. Just keep them reasonable, keep the goals within your reach.
Making far-changing, life altering resolutions often end in disappointment and even depression.
So go slow, take baby-steps, and have yourself an awesome 2012.

Yes, I watch the stock market and at this time of the year there is often a few weird selling patterns that appear consisting of the everyday man-woman-investor cashing in to pay the anticipated bills of the season.
I’m not talking just cash for gift buying. Business people need cash (liquidity) for the new calendar year, parents need to pay the bills for the upcoming school semester. Hell, maybe a guy plans for a very special Valentine’s Day to be pre-paid after the big marriage proposal surprise on Christmas Eve (I did that one).
Sadly, the world markets are out of control, real investor values are all over the board and that doesn’t include the run on the stock market still to come, knocking of hundreds from the stock market indexes in what are normally slow, almost no ripple trading sessions until after the new year.
And all of this leads up to the stories you need to know about so you have some awesome current events to share at the dreaded office party or that lonely corner bar stool tonight. Read and enjoy, here we go!
- Too sexy for that veggie. An Islamic cleric living in Europe reportedly has warned Muslim women not to get too close to bananas, cucumbers or other produce — to avoid having “sexual thoughts.” Hahahahaha ho. Gotta wonder which “western video” sent this cleric holy man onto this particular line of thought. I know it’s not the same guy that said women shouldn’t drive because it may affect their virginity.
- “I never intended to break the rules.” For a final payout of $12.1 million dollars I wouldn’t know too much about my bankrupt company either. Just saying….
- This is the guy in the running for Last Place Criminal Dufus of the yYear. There’s a video, below, too. But essentially dude snoops on his girlfriend’s teen daughter’s phone, found a nude pick of her and sexted the picture to almost 40 of her contacts to “teach her a lesson”. I can only guess that a couple of the kids might say the photo is old news but this guy has a fun time in store for the holidays and I hope he remembers his “soap on a rope”.
- Where would we be without a heart-fely gift shopping story? Right here is the answer. Dude with a .322 blood alcohol level is arrested for trying to steal 2 big screen TVs from Wal-Mart while he’s wearing the same coat he stole two days earlier from said store. They never said if it was the booze or the greed that gave him away. Too bad, one of those TVs was supposed to be my holiday gift!
- This will not be abused because it’s lobbyists and politicians making gift giving rules for lobbyists and politicians to receive gifts from one and another in time to give and receive this holiday season. Albeit belatedly because the new rules start January 1, 2012. State lawmakers and city council members can accept expensive gifts from lobbyists without disclosure if they are dating, and can receive meals and lodging in lobbyists’ homes without telling the public, under rules approved Thursday by the state ethics agency.
I told you it was a special time of year.

The Christmas Pick-up
Even Teddy knows what to do!
Now you’re at the mall, alone, and have the job of a lifetime ahead of you: selecting gifts while picking up women. In a nutshell you’ll be looking for single women shoppers that catch you’re interest and like any good plan you have to have a pick-up line, or two, that will be your introduction and segue into treating her for a coffee date for her helping you.
Your pick-up lines:
1) “Hi, can you help me? I’m looking for a gift for my sister’s boyfriend. Gifts have to be under $20.00 and I think he’s into collecting socks to wear to work. And my name is Robert, what’s yours?”
2) “Hello, your holiday shopping is seems like it’s in order, can you spare and idea or two? My great aunt is joining us this year for Christmas and I want to get her a gift but i can’t think what does someone in their 90′s need? I’ really appreciate a couple of ideas if you can help me out. My name’s Robert, what is your name?”
3) “Wow, look at all these toys, I haven’t heard of most of them. Can you spare an idea or two to help me find a fun gift for my 6 year old nephew. By the way, my name’s Robert, what’s yours?”
The lines above contain all of the needed structure that will give you a very good “in” for the beginning of not only introducing yourself to a prospect but also describing in just enough detail a request for help that makes it seem to not be a cheesy pick-up line but a sincere plea for help from a nice guy that is genuinely out of his comfort zone: shopping for gifts.
Of course you’ll need to customize the lines and add a few ones to better match your gift buying list, the “recipients” and for your personality but that shouldn’t be too difficult.
Keep the cost of the items low, $20.00 or so, again depending on your budget and needed gifts. The single women will be looking for something for a friends or family members children, so think toys, puzzles and games, those departments and stores ofer the best opportunities as well as being helpful to separate the single women from the others.
After you’ve been helped by her ask her if you can by her a coffee, now or later. And get her phone number or email address so you can set something up for another time.
If you do successfully get a date be sure to buy the gift, even if your recipient is imaginary and give the toy to a local children’s Christmas toy drive in your community. Create for yourself some good karma. This way you can reveal the lie to her, if it ever comes up, that you did indeed use a pick-up line on her and at the very least one child this Christmas will open a gift that you are both responsible for, sweet isn’t it?
I’ve done my part, now it’s all up to you brother.
Good luck,
Robert

Finding Something to Talk About
Do you remember the last time you were a part of a conversation, the other talkers looked your way and all they received from you was an uncomfortable moment of silence (the dreaded “pregnant pause”)?
Life isn’t all sex and french fries.
Many people, men and women, can run out of something to say. And if you’re with someone you like, running out of conversation is on par with over-drinking and becoming an obnoxious giant-mouthed bigot.
Yup, it’s that bad.
The pregnant pause never has to happen if you do one of two things:
1) read regularly, and/or
2) be an active member of real-world social clubs.
It’s important to note that people that do not run out of conversation topics are also people that frequently participate in conversations.
If you’re “too shy” to talk with people then that is something you need to work on. You can join a social club (Toastmasters has chapters in many towns and cities), read and stay on top of the daily news and current events.
You have to expand your horizons if you want to be able to be heard and have people that want to hear you.
Or you’ll become old, alone and stupidly opinionated, not knowing much about the world around you other than your own miserable experiences.

Another week, another testament to the horribleness and deceit of our fellow people. If there was only a way for people to be forced to tell the truth…. Nomination hopeful Herman Cain will find next week that the truth will win out. The support of family and friends is certainly determined by the truthfulness of your own life. Good luck Herman!
- Santa Claus is not allowed to visit classes. And students/children are not allowed to give Christmas cards. Obviously the Fort Worth school board is trying to hide the holiday season from their students. What a bunch of hypocrites and liars, eh?
- Woman stabs husband for using online dating service. What she didn’t know is that the accounts are from before he met her. No word if he was still using the accounts. She knows now. I guess asking a couple of honest questions would have saved her from jail.
- Based on recent events we all know the stock market is for suckers. After all, it is the rich man’s play ground as we watch our investments fall in value like an aging hooker. But having a Chinese cave that calls itself “The Underground Grand Canyon” being listed on a U.S stock exchnage is a very deceitful trick, don’t you think?
And finally, a great article about “How to make anyone tell you the truth” or at least confuse the hell out of them so they give it up anyways.
