Everything Is Not As It Seems

That is great!!

This was my friend Ralph's (Macchio) big break. Now he is actually helping Will Smiths son to play the role in the new Karate Kid

I guess I should come back tomorrow to learn more :)

This is such a great video to show kids! I just showed this specific video to my little sister a week ago. I was trying to explain to her why she should eat her vegetables. It technically didn't work, but it was the first thing i thought about when i was trying to make her do something she didn't want to do.

Just like in the Karate Kid, it's great to see that the little parts you have been putting together finally pay off. I went to a friend's show tonight and ended up meeting several girls. It was almost natural to do what I've been learning, instead of constantly having to think about it. When my friend introduced one girl and me to a new set of girls, they asked us how long we had known each other and were surprised that we had just met. They said they assumed we had known each other for years because, "the chemistry was there." It was a little awkward for this girl, but I was proud of myself. If other people were seeing it, she had to be feeling it too. I wasn't coming off as somebody she had just met. I dropped the ball as far as getting her phone number, but I'm still a work in progress. I'm not a champion lady-getter yet, but I can see it starting to come together where being the man I want to be is natural. It gives me a lot of hope for the future. Also, I recently read "The Game" by Neil Strauss. It was one of those books I kept hearing about and finally sat down to read. Honestly, it was one of the best books I've ever read because it reinforced everything David has been teaching. Sure a lot of guys read it to learn about PUA, but when you get to the end, you realize that techniques, patterns, and tricks they glorify only serve to mask who people really are on the inside. What people really need is change from the inside out. Mr. Miyagi didn't just teach Daniel what he thought he wanted to learn. He taught him lessons that internalized what he needed to know. Daniel just reacted to whatever was thrown at him almost on trained instinct. I think that's a great example for us to follow.

The message I got out of this video: Eye contact. The most important thing. My Capoeira teacher always tells us to look eachother in the eye. While maintaining eye contact we can always predict the next move he says and not be taken by surprise. When I play capoeira against someone else. I look directly into their eye. If they give me an agressive look, I know I have to step up my game. If they are nervous though, I will take it easy on them. In daily life, maintaining eye contact with another person, shows that you are not afraid of them, that you are actually comfortable talking to them. I got a question for the female readers: When it comes to eyecontact, when should a guy break eye contact with a woman. I heard that too much eye contact can weird a woman out. But what is too much? After I finish talking to a girl, I don't keep looking at her for too long. I will go do something else, walk away etc. If I keep looking at her after we talked, it would just be for a brief moment, to create some sexual tension. Make her wonder what Im thinking and smiling about.

Love it. It also reminded me of the early lessons taught to Robert Kiyosaki by his Rich Dad. Collin - well done - sounds like she may try to get hold of your number!!

Thanks Cathy, and I'm already one step ahead of her. While she could ask my friend for my number, I also left a comment on my friend's facebook wall that will make it easy for her to add me on there. In retrospect, I should have just called myself when I was playing with her iPhone, then handed her my phone and said "Answer that for me." Or I could have just handed her my phone right before I left and said had her put her number in. My ride was rushing me to leave though, so I panicked. Oh well. Life goes on.

Farley, what is Capoeria? Am I the only one who's never heard that word before? (I guess I can do a google search and find out.)

Daveco310, Capoeira is a brazilian martial art. You can find it on youtube.
