The Wrestler


Mickey Rourke may very well have been put on this Earth to play the part of Randy'The Ram' Robinson in Darren Aronofsky's brand new movie 'The Wrestler.' Rourke is pitch perfect as an aging wrestling icon from the 80's. Having filled arenas in his hey day, now the Ram is relegated to weekend matches at the Y and a part time job in the deli of his local supermarket. Throw in a stripper/single mother love interest(portrayed so well by Marissa Tomei) and an adult daughter that he barely knows, and you have the portrait of a broken man.

The movie pulls no punches, put's no silver lining on the cloud. It's a stark, bleak looking picture that is so earnest ,almost to a fault, that it has a documentary like feel ot it. I loved it. I will now forgive Mr. Aronofsky for unleashing 'The Fountain' on us a couple of years ago.

Elizabeth Willis - 'One'


Elizabeth Willis is a singer/songwriter based out of New York City. She was formally trained on both classical violin and piano as a child, but thankfully for us, has veered more into direction of intelligent pop music. Very intelligent. Ms. Willis was a Russian lit major at Smith College.

Here is a great tune of of her beautiful self-titled debut CD...it's a perfect soundtrack for winter.

Wife and I are long time AANR members who would love to meet other central Ohio nudists for get togethers and hopefully travel. We are open minded but we are not swingers. We are fit and trim for our age... active, educated, self employed business owners. We are rather successful and now have the time and resources to enjoy life fully and would love to find a similar couple to share the adventure with. We are advertising in your area as we have found that many nudist couples are shy about meeting people from their own area, (we are somewhat included.) If this posting is of interest to you... please respond with at least a paragraph about you and your spouse and we will send you our contact information. We would be willing to travel to meet if all agree that is what we want to do. Have a nice day...

Sanges Sweet


This Camille record, 'Music Hole' is growing on me more and more every day. She has the most powerfully angelic voice and the a capella and minimalist arrangements serve as the perfect backdrop for that instrument of hers. It's easily one of the most original sounding albums I've heard all year. Every time I spin it I hear another reason to love it.

We seemed to have a pretty good connection. Just curious if you're around. Tell me what you used to order every time (I met you by knowing what you were about to order without you saying anything) so I know it's you. Hope to talk to you soon. B

Fredric are a six piece band hailing from...where else, Sweden. They play a slightly experimental brand of pop, but there are still plenty of hooks to go around.

At War With Walls And Mazes



Ryan Lott is as real life rock n roll super hero, complete with alter ego and everything. By day, Lott is a mild mannered composer of music for commercials. But at night, under the name Son Lux, he records beautifully bleak records that sound like a wonderfully formed collage of sound. You will hear everything from hip hop rhythms to experimental noise riffs on his album 'At War With Walls And Mazes'...it an ethereal soundscape that you won't want to stop listening to.

Here is one of my favorite tunes off of the record, enjoy.

Video games and starbucks - m4w

Date: 2008-12-27, 1:02PM EST

Ok, this is going to sound odd, but the Starbucks near my house has like NO parking in the morning.

So, what I'm looking for is a girl who wants to crash out with me the night before, and then in the morning, ride in my car with me past the Starbucks, so I can have someone run in without me having to find parking.

I'll pay for the Starbucks and up to one (1) baked item. No venti's. You can leave a tip if the barista (or baristo) is worthy of one, but make sure to bring me the receipt.

I understand that we are human beings with needs, so if we should happen to let our bodies get the better of ourselves for hours and hours the night before, then there isn't really much I can do about that, but seriously - this is about coffee - not wildly passionate, kinky, orgasm sessions, ok? OR if you could give me a good blow job while I play video games, that would be even better.

The only oral delight taking place will be when those sweet Arabica beans are hitting our lips. Certainly not anything to do with my head between your legs for 20-30 minutes at a time.

Got it? Ok, cool. Be sure to send a picture so I can tell we're going to be looking good sipping Starbucks together in my ride (1991 two-tone Saturn).

Nickelback Lyric Of The Week

It's getting late have you seen my mates
Ma tell me when the boys get here
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer

My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady she don't care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair

A couple of the sounds that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
I'm a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats from the bottom of a glass

Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in

******

I know...these are really Elton John lyrics...but the idea of NB singing it horrifies me...and I have always hated this song anyway,so it counts.

'It's 7 O'clock and I want to rock.'
'A couple of the sounds I really like are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike.'

I didn't check the liner notes for this song, 'Saturday Night's Alright(For Fighting)'...but I think Dr. Seuss should have been given song writing credit.

How about another couple of great songs from the Kills latest album to help you forget the bad NB poetry...

Tattoo Guy buyer beware (Beechmont area)


Reply to: sale-969620030@craigslist.org [?]
Date: 2008-12-25, 7:17PM EST


This Guys name is Brian Moticka. He lives on the East side of town (Beechmont) and his phone number is 513-947-3659 513-732-6294. He claims to be an "Award Winning Tattoo Artist" a "Decorated Veteran" and has posted on Craigs List. He also claims to have been in " Tattoo Magazine over 13 times" which is why I contacted him and made a deal to do a large Tattoo on my back. BIG MISTAKE and now I have filed a law suit in the county where he lives. I have tried to work it out with him but he keeps giving me the run around and finally threatened my life so I stopped calling him and filed the suit. Check out the picture and judge for yourself. Pay close attention to the claws (hands),hair and face. He told me the tattoo would look "Exactly" like the picture.
If you want to see a better picture of his work or more info just ask.
I also showed my "MESS" to several other real tatoo artists, and they ALL said the work was BAD and they all wanted to know who did the work. Thank you to everyone that has emailed me with support and to several others that emailed telling me about similar stories about the same guy.

First of all, nice choice in body art. ALL CLASS. And maybe tattoos aren't something you should be making deals for on Craigslist...you think?

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button


I am not a film critic. That's why I write in blurbs. I don't have the attention span or the vocabulary to wax poetic on films. But since I see so few movies these days it seems, I feel obligated to cover the big event.

If I had to describe 'The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button' in algebraic terms, it would look something like this:

Cocoon + Forest Gump/Magnolia = TCCOBB

David Fincher wants you to know that growing old is no fun, and yes, you are going to grow old. But at least he tells you via a beautifully shot movie that - even at just under 3 hours - never feels slow. I really wanted to dislike this movie. I just had a feeling that it was going to be too over the top with feel-goodness, which I don't do to well with. I was, however, pleasantly surprised. It does tend to hammer its themes home, but never to the point of feeling preachy. And any movie with Cate Blanchett in it is almost always going to be worth the price of the ticket.
Verdict? Well worth your time...now go and seize the day while you are young.

Mea Culpa - State Of The Blog Address

I think I would have shamed my patron saints of rock n roll, The Hold Steady, tonight. I broke my own cardinal rule. I dropped the ball. I went negative.

My whole reason for starting this blog(aside from it being a fun way to kill time while at the office) was simply to share songs that I love with as many people as possible. No advertising, no agenda, no real game plan. I just wanted to sort of use this as a soundtrack to my life. A sounding board for my thoughts, in the most literal sense. Everything I do, everything I think, everything I feel has a song attached to it...for better or worse. I am forever thinking in song lyrics and my mind instantly attaches a song to any situation I find myself in. It's a blessing and a curse. Actually, it's all blessing.

But every now and again I find myself in mid-sentence, bad mouthing a band or a song, and that should never happen here. Sure, there are bands I don't like. But I don't need to broadcast it here. Stay positive.. Those two words are now officially my mission statement. The Hold Steady almost taught me. I should NEVER doubt Craig Finn. Ever.

And since I am on the subject of the blog, I just wanted to say a gigantic THANK YOU to anyone and everyone who has stumbled across this site and taken the time to read these ramblings. And an extra special thanks to those who take the time to comment. Even if i am too scatter-brained, or otherwise unavailable, to respond...I appreciate the comments so much. There is just SO much stuff floating around here on this interweb we got...so to think that anyone takes the time to come and check out what I have to say...means the world to me.

You are loved.

We Brave Bee Stings And All


How have I not written a single word about this album all year? I've listened to it constantly, and I STILL love it. Some how the idea of actually expressing my love for the record on this blog, got lost in my cluttered head. Trust me, if you spent any time at all in my head, you would see how easily that could happen.

Thao is a singer/songwriter originally from the Washington DC area who now calls San Fransisco home. Her 2008 album 'We Brave Bee Stings And All' is absolutely great. It's just the right amount of folky, and oh so catchy...and completely original sounding.

Here is one of my favorite tunes off of the record...enjoy.

Sometime Around Midnight


I love songs that are SO painfully specific that you just know that they are sung in the first person. I think everyone has been in the singer's place in this song...I know I have. The first listen is brutal, but with each subsequent listen this tune becomes more and more anthemic.

This is music as therapy in the absolute best sense of the phrase.

This track is available on the self-titled disc from The Airborne Toxic Event.

The Onion's Least Essential Albums Of 2008

God bless the people at The Onion.

******

Least essential comeback, least essential covers album, and least essential album of the year all rolled up into one

Vanilla Ice, Vanilla Ice Is Back!: Hip Hop Classics
As one of the first, and worst, white rappers, Vanilla Ice nearly smothered the art form in its crib, and since then, he’s spent much of his career attempting to finish the job. Ice Is Back: Hip-Hop Classics features the nth comeback attempt by the now 41-year-old Rob Van Winkle, and it’s far and away the most unforgivable thing he’s ever done, far surpassing other crimes against humanity like Cool As Ice, “Ninja Rap,” and Hard To Swallow. This time out, he does wretched covers of classic rap songs, including “You Gots To Chill,” “Insane In The Brain,” and in an extended middle finger to the entirety of black culture, “Fight The Power” and “Buffalo Soldier.” Although it claims to be produced by someone named Adam Hamilton, Vanilla Ice Is Back! features beats and sounds straight out of a karaoke machine, and as if to absolutely cement the dismal amateurishness of it all, the retro-ish cover looks like it was incompetently Photoshopped by a friend of Van Winkle’s who works at a copy shop. It’s irony from someone who doesn’t get irony.

The next picture posted is Bryan (25), Handsome sweet and sexy with many talents such as a love for music and wide diversity of knowledge, the "philosophical one." The last picture is me, Josh (19), the eccentric genius with a talent for all that is comical. All I wanna do is make ya giggle.

SO HERES THE DEAL:

On New Years Marc, Bryan and I are going to rent a Limo and have some alcohol, the only thing missing is the biological counterpart, the LADIES.

REQUIREMENTS: you have to have nothing to do on New Year's, your CUTE, and want FREE drinks in a FREE limo ride then email me back WITH, let me say again WITH, your PICTURES and we will get back to you. And dress is FORMAL, we are gonna be three studs, IN SUITS, so dress nice.

NO HOOKERS OR CALL GIRLS, THE ONLY THING WE ARE PAYING FOR IS THE LIMO AND DRINKS.

MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL REQUIREMENTS OR WE WILL NOT RESPOND

Tough choice...do you go for the shy one, the handsome one with a diversity of knowledge(but who also might be in some sort of street gang), or do you dare take your shot at the eccentric genius(with his shirt strategically unbuttoned)?

The(Musical) Science Of Sleep


I love music. I love to sleep. So why not combine these two loves of mine into one short blog post I thought. The following blurb is the result of that thought as it has come to life. And yes, it's been a really slow weekend.

I once reccomended an album to a friend using the phrase "it's such a great record to sleep to"...she thought I didn't like the album at all. Just the opposite actually. Like I said, I love to sleep, so finding a perfect album to doze off to is sort of a science. It has to be mellow of course(dreamy is a nice bonus quality if you can find it) and it needs to be good from start to finish. I mean you can't be seconds away from drifting off when all of a sudden the third track pops up and it's awfulness startles you right out of your impending sleep. That would be tragic. Consistency is a must.

I have assembled what I believe to be my Top 3 All Time Greatest Records To Sleep Too...yes, a prestigious list to be certain. So without further ado, here you are(songs you can listen to are to the right of the album titles.) Sweet dreams.

" "No" is a dirty word,
Never gonna say it first,
"No" is just a thought that never crosses my mind.
Maybe in the parking lot,
Better bring your friend along,
Better rock together than just one at a time.

S is for the simple need.
E is for the ecstasy.
X is just to mark the spot,
Because that's the one you really want.
(Yes!) Sex is always the answer, it's never a question,
'Cause the answer's yes, oh the answers (Yes)
Not just a suggestion, if you ask a question,
Then it's always yes. Yeah!
"

To the girl who snorted my grape crystal light packet - m4w - 28 (columbus, ohio)


Reply to: pers-963547956@craigslist.org [?]
Date: 2008-12-19, 12:57AM EST


So I was sitting at the local bar with a buddy of mine that I have hung out at since I was in the 4th grade. (Now 28 and yes I know everyone there and their business) We were playing music at the bar when you kept annoying the shit out of my friend and I to come talk to you. You finally seemed to get the point that we werent attracked to you or in the least bit interested in talking to you, however you took it upon your own sweet self to appoach us at the music box.

You came on pretty strong and very forward with your first words asking if I could score you some coke or anything else. Now the bartender warned me to stay away from you, but wow, you really had me at hello! I informed you that I am not really into that anymore, but you kept asking me to ask others since I seemed to know everyone there. Only to get you the hell away from me after the 4th time you came up to me and asked, I told you I would see what I could do.

So, back with my friends, I had my hands in my pockets standing along the bar side as I noticed you still checkin me out!!! Once again, WOW! I ran across a single packet of grape flavored crystal light single packet that I didnt get around to drinkin at work that day. I pulled it out, poured it on the bar, and started "cuttin it" with a card. I really seemed to have caught your eye at this time. So I then put it in a small bar napkin and rolled it in a tight knot, then approached you with it. I was really starting to feel the connection at this point...... You once again asked me if I had found anything and I informed you that I scored some "Crystal". You seemed very excited but had never tried it before but was ready to try it. I set it on the bar, and you suddenly reminded me that the bar had new cameras so we couldnt do it there.

You followed me outside where I dumped it on the table, where god knows what has been on there previosly, and I cut it up into one big fat line. Without hesitation, asking how much, if I wanted any or even a blow job or telling me where we were going to party afterwards, you grabbed a bill, rolled it, and cleaned the shit out of that line! You complained it burned pretty bad, then later tasted like grape! (Wow, what a surpize!) I told you they tend to flavor the stuff now.

It was pretty funny to watch how messed up you were acting to be from "crystal". Needless to say, all of my friends got a huge kick out of it. You left on your bar tab, and I didnt even get the blowjob bitch!

I know you used to work at CVS across the street, but got fired from a drug problem, but if your still out there and get this, im waiting for you!

In a Damien Jurado state of mind


I have been caught in a major Damin Jurado rut lately. 'Rut' isn't the right word. 'Rut' alludes to bad. My current Jurado obsession isn't bad, it's just omnipresent. I guess it could be bad though, if it persisted for a few more months. For while Damien's beautiful songs totally agree with the ear, I am not so sure that an extended exposure to his words are really that good for the soul. They are just so melancholy. Gorgeous, no doubt, but oh so melancholy.

Here is a great example. Just a beautiful song, but the story it tells is just heartbreaking. Great stuff...in moderation.

Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future


In what has to be an early contender for Best Album Title Of 2009, LA duo The Bird And The Bee are back with their follow up to their 2007 self-titled debut.

'Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future' features more of the same beautifully crafted pop. Here is a tune off of the record, which comes out January 27th.

The Dark End Of The Street


To me, Chan Marshall = love. I never tire of hearing her insanely soulful voice singing other people's classic songs.

And, just in time for the holidays, she was sweet enough to release a new Cat Power EP, the brilliantly down tempo 'The Dark End Of The Street.'

Here is her version of an absolutely timeless Otis Redding tune...enjoy.

Daniel at Planned Parenthood - w4m

You: The bearded, bescrubbed, tatooed office manager on duty at the local Planned Parenthood.

Me: The blonde female who came in for an annual exam this afternoon and is undoubtedly violating some code of privacy/ethics by trying to hit on you.

You kindly and thoroughly assisted me with all my requisite paperwork for today's visit. After handing you documents disclosing the intimate details of my personal health and sexual history, discussing my insurance coverage, and (for good measure) talking about my presidential preferences and voting status, I found myself wondering whether you were this friendly to everyone (read: single). I realize it's your job to find out how many sexual partners a girl has had and hand her a cup to pee in, but I felt like we might have had a special spark. Charm, confidence, the ability to multitask, and a heightened awareness of STDs are all very attractive qualities to me in a man, and provided you're not gay, I'm pretty sure our mutual openness regarding all things sexual would bode well for "outside the clinic" compatibility.

If you're interested and available, let's go have coffee/drinks sometime. (This is obviously a slightly unorthodox invitation, but I figured it was less objectionable coming from the patient than the provider.) If you want to wait until my test results come back to respond to this, that's fine too.

Another song from the movie playing in my head


I have a running list of songs that I want use for the movie that I am never going to make. Some of them have specific scenes attached to them, some of them just moods. I am not sure where exactly this Smog song fits in, but it most definitely fits in. If I had an ultra cool love scene like George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez share in 'Out Of Sight' it would work beautifully there...or maybe it would be better as the soundtrack to some sort of intense confrontation, like EVERY scene featuring Javier Bardem in 'No Country For Old Men.' I don't know...the movie and the scenes change every day. It's a constant work in progress. But the soundtrack keeps getting better.

Those Prolific Pornographers


The various artists that make up The New Pornographers are nothing if not prolific. Dan Bejar is seemingly releasing like two albums every year, in one form or another. Neko Case has her latest solo record slated for an early 2009 release, and so does front man AC Newman.

Here is a beautiful tune off of Newman's new 'Get Guilty', out January 20th I believe.

* AC Newman - 'There Are Maybe Ten Or Twelve' MP3


The Music Hole


Here is another one I found by scouring year end 'Best Of' lists compiled by people who are far hipper than me. Camille's 'The Music Hole' record was on one or two such lists, so I tracked down the record and gave it a spin. Not at all like what I usually listen to, but still SO interesting. The French singer/songwriter has an absolutely incredible voice, and uses it to wail over very sparse a capella and electronic backdrops.

This song that I am sharing is a great example of what's on the record. Hang in there through the odd beginning, it really takes off, trust me.

I feel compelled to express to you that you are the only girl (out of quite a few) for whom I've felt ANY affection during the past few years. So I'm a drunk and a lowlife... you appreciated that in me: It complimented your bullshit, goody-goody, banana republic, professional-woman style... and admit it, we had fun together! Obviously, it was just a fling from its inception... but I still wonder why you decided to end it how and when you did. So what!? My roommate walked in on us having sex on the sofa!? That was kind of erotic, and you felt so too. I passed out on top of you?! Come on, that could've happened to anyone at any (drunken) time. Sadly, I awoke and you were gone. The final word from your pretty mouth was "Well, we weren't that good of friends anyways..." which was, of course, true, so no arguing that fact. To add insult to injury, our last date was on the very day that my car was repossessed. O, to lose both you and Sophia on the same day...

Conrad Ford is a singer songwriter from the great Pacific Northwest who specializes in writing and recording these amazing, darkness tinged country songs. His new record 'Secret Army' has a wonderfully dark tone too it...not depressing, just a little ominous.

Here is what I think is my favorite track on the record, for today anyway.

Drew Holcomb And The Neighbors are an ultra American sounding rock band from Nashiville,TN. It's hard to listen to their latest record 'Passenger Seat' and not hear the Bruce Springsteen influence.

you: Prius guy; me: not a hooker (redhead in purple fishnets) - w4m


Reply to: pers-950908512@craigslist.org [?]
Date: 2008-12-09, 8:45AM EST



Me: A redhead on a bicycle, in fishnets and a short skirt, biking home from the Short North

You: A guy driving a Prius who tried to hire me for sexual services.

There I was, biking along, thinking it would be smarter to ride down Goodale than along the bigger streets at dusk because I didn't have my light or helmet. Now, I don't walk down Goodale much because it's where all the hookers work and I don't want to interfere. But it seemed safe by bike.

So when you slowed down to pass me in your Prius, I was a little apprehensive. Sure enough, "Want to make some money?" you asked. I was startled, though. You didn't look like the usual sleazebags who trawl these corners. I said no, with a smile. I should've been more firm, I guess.

(I admit that my getup was a bit more suggestive than usual, my mini-kilt draped over my bike seat, my tall boots making pedaling a little difficult. Nothing naughtier than you'd see street punks wearing anywhere, though. And who tries to pick up a hooker who's riding a bike? I am not a hooker, for the record, though I'm not offended. I have a science PhD, which might earn me less at first, but so far it's seemed to be the best use of my talents.)

Anyway, I said no. And I kept biking. And you kept tailing me slowly in your Prius. Half a block later, you asked again and I answered more firmly, though still (too) politely. And then again, further along. By then I had a plan in mind to keep you from following me to my house, but you gave up at that point.

So what gives? Do you come here often? In a city of yuppie geeks, why does a not-unattractive man with a Prius need to find a streetwalker on that particular corner of crack whores? Did I inspire visions of kinky sex? Did I, with my messenger bag and commuter bike, look like the type to mete out exotic punishments? Are you just having a dry spell? And how much money are we talking?

I'm actually curious. (Not interested, but curious.)

Reply to: event-934380281@craigslist.org [?]
Date: 2008-11-25, 8:12PM EST


Hello Columbus! Read this neat little trick below. 90% of the time it works every time:) Seriously though, If you really want to get any girl you want, you're gonna have to stop acting like every other in the World is acting. David shows you exactly how to do that. Take a class or just read the eBook and your life with women will change forever.

How To Get A Woman's Phone Number And Email Address Within Three Minutes Of Meeting Her

By David DeAngelo

Let me start off by telling you something interesting:

I've personally stopped focusing on just getting phone numbers. I've found that EMAIL addresses are far better (I still get the phone number too, of course).

Let me explain.

I perfected the art of getting phone numbers a couple of years ago.

If a woman is single, I can walk up to her and get her number in about a minute or two (if I'm in a hurry). I found out later, after working like a mad scientist on this that GETTING PHONE NUMBERS ALONE DOESNT'T EQUAL SUCCESS.

You see, women have many different reasons for giving out their phone numbers. Some love the attention of having a lot of men call them. Some like to turn guys down. Some are actually interested. But the universal feedback that I get from men, and in my personal experience, women act different on the phone than they do in person.

When you call a woman for the first time, she'll often start acting stand offish or even worse, just plain rude. It's almost like she's a different person than the one you met.

I've found that getting an EMAIL address is not only easier, but it gets more positive responses later on. It's almost as if women appreciate it that you've taken the time to think about what you're going to say when you write an email to them, and they think of you more like someone they know.

The other benefit of email is that it can be written and answered anytime.

If you call, you have to actually reach them. But an email can be answered anytime. And I've found that emails are answered FAR more often than voicemail messages.

HERE'S THE HOW TO:

After I've talked to a woman for about 3 or 4 minutes, I'll often say something like "Well, it was nice meeting you. I'm going to get back to my friends."

They usually don't know what to do, as they're used to guys clinging to them. Most of the time, they say "It was nice meeting you too..." Then, just as I'm turning to walk away, and we kind of disconnect, I turn back and say "HEY! Do you have email?"

The "HEY!" is a bit surprising, and "Do you have email" is non-threatening. In fact, I'm technically asking her if she HAS email, not if she'll GIVE IT TO ME.

If she says "yes," I take out a pen and paper and say "Great, write it down for me" and I have her write it down. (This is great, as I just treat the 'yes' that they give me as a yes to get it from them as well. And they've almost ALL gone along with it so far) Then AS SHE'S IN THE MIDDLE OF WRITING, I say "Write your number down there too."

When you ask for email, it's very low risk for a woman, so she'll think "Fine, I'll do that." Most women will give out an email address without thinking about it, because they know that they can choose later to just not answer.

The magic of asking them to write their phone number down WHILE they're in the middle of writing down their email is all about the psychology of human behavior.

She's already mentally said "OK, I'll give you my email address"... and she's in the middle of writing it down. When you say "And just write your number down there too" it's only NATURAL to just write it.

In other words, it's a MUCH smaller step than giving out the phone number all by itself. It took me a LONG time to figure out this simple move, but it works like magic! You will have women writing their phone numbers down without even thinking twice.

Here's a great add-on to make sure you're getting a real phone number and not a pager or voicemail:

As she's writing down her phone number I say "Is this a number that you actually answer?" If she looks at me and hesitates, or says that it's her "voicemail or pager number," then I say "Look, write your real number down. It's going to be OK, I'll only call you nine times a day..." They laugh and usually give me their real number.

Now, if she answers my first question and says "No, I don't have email" then I bust on them and say "Well, do you have electricity?" This is a GREAT opportunity to use humor.

Then I say "Well, OK then. I like email better, but I'll take your regular phone number. It's so damn hard to reach people on the phone these days."

Just realize that all you have to do is ask.

Like I said, I've tried all kinds of things. And I've gotten hundreds of phone numbers. And I use this exact sequence every time I talk to a woman and I want to get her phone number. I've gotten to the point where I can often do this in a minute or two - no kidding!

Now that you know the sequence, write it down with the words and the steps, and rehearse it in your mind over and over until you know exactly what to say for each step and each response.

Many guys have asked me "But what do I tell her as a reason why I want her number or email?" I've never had a woman ask me. If you ask, and they give it, then she knows why you asked. If she doesn't give it to you, then she also knew why you asked.

Just assume that this is the case.

If you ask every time, and you do it in a smooth, assuming, calm way, you'll get a lot of emails and phone numbers.

Note: Carry a pen on you at all times. I prefer the Fisher Space Pen (chrome) because it's small, classy, and women love it!

Farewell sweet weekend...I hardly knew you

It was a nice, but fleeting weekend...gone before I realized it had even started. The highlight came late this afternoon, when my niece and I plugged in the Xbox for some Guitar Hero Word Tour action. Me on the plastic guitar, her on lead vocals. And while I am her uncle, and slightly biased, I have to say that she pulled off that J Mascis growl really well(especially for a 6yr old) on 'Feel The Pain'...I have never been prouder!

So I am putting the weekend to bed with that beautiful Dinosaur,Jr song and one of my favorite Belle And Sebastian songs...just because it's sort of dreamy and sounds to me like a weekend ending.
