ABC
I'm bored again. so I'm gonna ramble in an organized chaotic way. the alphabet.
A) always remind the people you care about that they are important to you. you can never say that too many times. ever.
B) be careful what you wish for, cuz you just might get it.
C) create opportunities to learn new things. an active mind is a happy one.
D) dance in your room when no body's watching. I've discovered this can be extremely therapeutic
E) exercise. nuff said.
F) focus on the positive things in a situation. it can be really hard, but if you do it often enough, it will become instinctive
G) greet total strangers with a smile or hello. you never know when somebody needs a pick-me-up
H) have a good time, even if you're in a bad mood. nobody wants to hang around a fun sucker. emotions are contagious, spread good ones.
I) invest your time in things that will move you forward. every second spent is non-refundable
J) just let it go. in my opinion, nothing is worse for a person than holding onto negative feelings. trust me on this one.
K) know your weaknesses and learn to make them strengths. nobody is perfect, but if you know what your imperfections are you might as well work towards improving them. no?
L) love unconditionally. this one is hard i promise. sometimes there is just that one person who just grinds your gears. that's ok, you're human. but if you're trying at least you can say so
M) make something. this has proven to help me time and time again. whether its a grilled cheese sandwich or a full blown quilt, there is something profound about being able to create something new out of something ordinary :)
N) never regret something that once made you smile. i read this somewhere once, and it has stuck with me ever since. and i can't say that I'm too good at this because i have a lot or regrets. but once i learn to accept that at one point in time they made me happy, then I'm ok. because there is no point in making a good memory bad, and then making that bad memory worse. (refer to F- good things only!)
O) only you can change the way you feel. don't blame it on your mom or your brother or the neighbour's cat. if you're sad, it's cuz you chose to be. and if you're happy it's cuz you chose to be. the mind is a powerful thing. (not saying that it's easy to just flip the switch... ITS NOT)
P) please yourself as well as others. yes, it's important to help others and make them happy, but if it's coming at your expense, STOP.
Q) quit waiting!!! read that. it's splendid.
R) rock it. self confidence is a big issue for me. but a good friend has made it pretty clear to me, that confidence is one of the most attractive traits (at least for him, but I'm guessing it's something most guys/girls like)
S) sleep. Sleep. SLEEP. so many studies have proven that if you get a good sleep your day just runs smoother due to increased brain function (and a couple other things i cant remember.. :))
T) take your time. life isn't a race, so don't waste it trying to get ahead of the next guy. there's a quote that just popped into my mind that sorta has to do with this:
'pride is not satisfied by simply having something, but by having more of it than the next man.' C.S. Lewis
U)um... i got nothing for u....
V) volunteer. i wanna do something bigger than just raking leaves or doing dishes. have for a long time. and every time i hear feedback from someone who has done it, they say they wanna go back.
W) worrying is bad. don't be a worry wart. it's probably just as bad as holding a grudge. not cool.
X) ya, like that's gonna happen...
Y) yesterday is in the past. keep it there
Z) z.... ya. I've still got nothing.... ha.
so... as patchy as it got near the end there, that's my alphabet of advice. yahoo. later.

patience little ones.
patience. if there is one thing i need to learn its how to just be patient. and i can be patient, i'm getting better in fact. but every once in a while i just get so dang stressed out by the whole ordeal that i drive myself crazy!! i've become so accustomed to the way of life these days and getting it NOW. not cool bro. any ideas on how to help learn patience?? anyone??
like for example, i ordered a cardigan online a while back. and its sooooo cute. but the thing is, the company i ordered it from takes forever to ship their goods. its a pain. and now that it's getting colder, i wanna be able to wear my lovely button up knit cardi. but alas, i must wait. darn.
on the bright side if you guys are friends with me on facebook or follow me on instagram, you know i got my teal suede wedges in the mail a while back... that was a GOOD DAY.
so, apologies for ranting on about meaningless stuff, but i'm pretty bored right about meow and i figured it'd be cool to update you guys. ya? no? oh well :)

a little looksie
so today im off work and i feel like sending a message to those of you boys out there who havent the slightest clue when it comes to women. i know we can be complicated, sometimes i dont even get me... but im going to write and write until something starts to click, and hopefully y'all learn something new.
so. where to start. i guess there isnt really a definite start point... but oh well. we'll ramble.
when you like a girl...
every girl is different, but im going to express to you what i have observed through both personal experience and in conversations with my very close girlfriends.
in order for a girl to fell for a guy, he has to stand out. not like bells and whistles and look at me im important. no. thats WRONG. cockiness wont get you the girl. start small. if you arent good friends, and communication is rare, smile at her or say hi to her one day, she'll notice trust me.
dont forget to work at your own pace either, if you're not comfortable having a full blown conversation with her yet, dont worry, take it slow. once you've become acquainted and you feel comfortable talking to her, find a way to squeeze yourself into a conversation with her. now this takes courage for some, but for others its a sinch, so again work at your own pace.
and dont be afraid if you think youre gonna say something embarrassing and she'll think youre really dumb, she'll probably end up thinking the exact opposite. she just might think it's cute!! (i would, if i were even remotely interested) this shows her that you're nervous and thats not always a bad thing. the fact that she makes you nervous means you can be vulnerable. so cute. but being a man is still important haha
but like i said every girl is different , so she just might think youre weird (personally i think that if this is the case, she doesnt deserve you. but idk, im no proffesional)
ok. back to earth here, she's giggling at you cuz you said something dumb.. youre in!! alrighty, now start trying to work your way into her group of friends if you havent already. dont be stalkerish and ask her out on a date yet. too fast. a woman likes to be chased, she doesnt like to be smothered. be her friend first. then once you notice a tiny spark of interest, make your move and ask her out.
ok, you're on your way to pick her up. go to the door, dont text her and tell her youre at her house. manners. knock on the door and walk her to the car. OPEN THE DOOR. thats a biggie. most girls that ive talked to, notice the door being opened. its the oldest trick in the book, seriously. pull her chair out for her too if youre going to dinner, another old trick.
ok great time has gone by and youve been on several dates. things are going GREAT! you really like this girl. and youre thinking she probably likes you too. ok show her you like her. the friends stage is in the past. break the touch barrier if you havent already. not necessarily hold hands yet but maybe touch her back when she's walking into a door you're holding for her, or offer her your arm when you go for a walk. whatever you feel comfortable doing. but dont wait too long, cuz if she did start liking you and you wait too long before breaking the touch barrier, she will think youre just a flirt and you dont like her after all. not cool bro.
ok now you know you like eachother. fast forward. youre now dating. dont just all of a sudden assume that she knows you like her. BAD idea. remind her how you feel on a regular basis, cuz if youre not saying it you may as well not feel it either. showing her is important too, but communication is KEY! there is nothing that bugs me more than a relationship that lacks communication. lines get blurred and feelings are hurt. if you love her smile, tell her!! if she's got a goofy laugh and you think its cute, tell her! let her know you care, or she will assume you dont, regardless of how close you are at this point.
idk what else to say... so i guess ill just review. dont be stalkerish, give her her space at first, but once you know she likes you and you like her, make sure she knows it. text her first, compliment her, play with her hair, be spontaneous, take her on dates. be a man!!!!
i realize this post probably makes no sense... hah but oh well, it let out a little bit of my frustration i suppose. boys, get out there and be men!!!
later days
