You're Like a Big Bear with Claws and Fangs and She's Just a Little Bunny

Hello again, just trying to throw gasoline on the fire here. I received several emails/messages from people interested in recording so I appreciate those very much. We will be in touch very soon. I grinded out another song yesterday that I'm pretty proud of. It's funny how you can go months without writing anything that you're proud of and then all of a sudden in 10 days write some of the best stuff that has ever come out of you. Can't explain it, I'm just excited about it.

Over the weekend I was at Chicago Brahaus in Lincoln Square with some family and friends. We had a late dinner and then did some major drinking and dancing well into the morning. There were six of us, and if you've ever been to the Brahaus they have these huge tables that seat 9 or 10 people. So at our table we sat with these three Lithuanian guys who were probably in their late 20's. Each group kind of kept to themselves over dinner, but as the evening progressed and the 1 Liter German beers continued to flow, we all became one BIG group and it was a lot of fun. I got to talking with one of the three gentleman and he told me that he frequented the Brahaus often because he was quite fond of one of the servers there. So naturally I asked him if he'd asked her out? He just kind of put his head down and gave the universal "I'm too scared" symbol. It reminded me of this big spiel that a guy I know gave once, so I thought I'd pass the knowledge on to my new friend (and YOU in this blog :)

There is ONE key to getting the person of the opposite sex to like you. ONE. All of the other things that we do, we do them to gain this ONE key.

CONFIDENCE.

It sounds simple, even stupid. But hasn't keeping things simple worked for a long time? Why do guys buy nice cars? Confidence. Why do ladies spend hours in front of the mirror before they go out? Confidence. Why is every other commercial you here these days on TV/Radio about erection pills or size enhancement? Confidence. You can avoid all of this if you just have the confidence in the first place! It's like the movie "Swingers." Vince Vaughn's character gets all of the chicks because he's confident. When he walks into a room, people notice. Girls notice. And when they do notice, he's not scared to walk right up to them and start a conversation. On the other hand, John Favreau's character "Mike," was the exact opposite of confidence. Until the end of course, when he sucked it up and asked Heather Graham to dance. My friend gave this spiel long ago, and it's something that has stuck with me for a long time. Now my friends, I pass it along to you.

BTW, I'm not sure if my friend from the Brahaus ever approached his "Princess Waitress." I think she ended up being engaged (Got to watch for that left ring finger). But as Brad Pitt says in "Fight Club," "Tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of Raymond K. Hessel's life. His breakfast will taste better than any meal you and I have ever tasted." Well, maybe that's a bit much.

Thanks for hanging out, hit me up on facebook or in the comments section of this blog. Right now I'm listening to "La-Z-Boy 500" by The Falcon. Drinks of choice: Ice water, big day today.

Peace the F.
