Feel-Great Friday

Today is Friday!!! (Incase you haven't checked your calendar) When I was a kid I never checked the calendar during Summer... I would only know what day it was on Sunday (because we went to church) So now that I'm an adult... haha... I really miss the simplicity of that! So I like the idea of Feel-good Friday... Here's a list of songs to jam out to this week:

Hold on To Your Heart by Tina Patrol (Sorry about the stupid video)

I just wanted your Love by Alexz Johnson (The 2nd Verse has some of my favorite Lyrics of all time)

C'est La Vie by B*Witched (An Oldie but a Goodie)

Everything Has Changed by Taylor Swift (I ADORE this Music video, and if you haven't seen it yet I HIGHLY recommend it!)

Shake it Out by Florence and the Machine (I love singing this song at the top of my lungs!)

Stand Out from A Goofy Movie (Classic Movie, Classic Song!)

Suit & Tie by Justin Timberlake (I love me some JT!)

Ok, I could literally go on forever, but I'll try to save some for next week! Let's move on to movies...

Pitch Perfect (If you haven't seen this movie yet, I highly recommend you drop what ever you're doing right this instant and go get it, iTunes, Redbox, or whatever... just go watch it now!!! 

The Perks of Being A Wallflower (This is an amazingly well done movie, if you haven't read the book, read it! If you haven't seen it then you haven't seen some of the most amazing acting/writing/directing ever done! You need to do so now!)

10 This I Hate About You (This movie is da-bomb! I mean it's a classic!)

So there you have it guys, you're week has been officially planned out! If you have seen these movies and heard these songs comment with some of your own suggestions! I need some too! 

In the mean time, drink some Diet Coke, eat some Oreos, and have a BOMB weekend!

Peace & Ba-lessings, Sam

A Day in the Life of A Girl with No Mystery...

As it turns out as fun as this blog is it might be hurting me a little bit, let's be real though, my problems didn't start with this blog. I am what they call "a woman with a lack of mystery". I don't really keep secrets, especially not my own. You guys know everything about me, and so does everyone else.

I've been told that guys like a little mystery, a little guessing game... there's the key word, game! And I'm just not very good at the whole playing games thing. I'm too transparent so there is no challenge. As Justin pointed out yesterday with his whole hunting analogy men like a little bit of sports in EVERYTHING they do... 

So, this brings us to Lesson #11: Be more mysterious! 

I've decided to start wearing a masquerade mask around everywhere, I feel like this will help with the mystery department. Boys will see me and think "what is she trying to hide, is her face too beautiful to be shown around all the time" (The answer to the second question is of course, a resounding YES!) 

The second change I'm going to make is to stop telling people things. Maybe I'll just stop talking all together. They'll say "What is she hiding, why won't she speak to me, am I not cool enough for her to talk to, what about her makes her so much cooler than me!?" I think Helen Keller really had something going for her... (too soon for a Helen Keller joke? I mean 3Oh!3 didn't think so....) 

The final change I'm going to make involves my over-joyous disposition... I can go back to my previous post on this but I try not to repeat myself... Mona Lisa had this thing with her smile, I mean they even wrote a whole song about it! So, my conclusion is that I need to work on my smile, make it less happy looking and more mysterious. I want to make people ask themselves "is she happy, is she being ironic, and if she's happy what is she so happy about, WHY AM I NOT DATING THIS GIRL" The las question especially should be on their minds! 

So there you have it friends, I need to buy a mask, shut-up, and smile with out teeth! 

If you have any other ideas or ways in which I can change who I am to get dates, please comment below! 

A Day in the Life of the Girl who Couldn't Flirt!

I know there are some people who will say "flirting is just natural" or whatever, but those people have never met me... Flirting is the most unnatural thing in the world to me... ok, well maybe licking my bathroom floor is a little less natural. 

I've spent the last week talking to people about this flirting thing. Asking them about their techniques, watching them flirt... it's been a little weird actually. I've been told it's all about body language, or just being natural, giggling, touching... Here are some of my problems with those things

Body Language: So whenever I try to lean in close or whatever it is you're supposed to do it ends up looking and feeling like I look as if I'm trying to who him a rash or something stupid like that... not natural...

Being Natural: So that works for me until the moment I realize I'm talking to an attractive boy... then I become a babbling idiot. I stutter, I make REALLY bad jokes. I've gotten my share of guys looking at me like I was a little insane. Think Goofy in A Goofy Movie... "A-ha-yuck"

Giggling: I don't know if you've ever heard me laugh... I have this theory that someday there will be a man who finds my ridiculous laugh adorable for those of you who can't picture it... here's an example of my laugh. 

Touching: this one is probably the most difficult for me. Boys don't touch me except when they are giving me my change back... Anyway, touching... I feel like I want to do the whole House Bunny thing "Look at your biceps, they're huge! Kiss me!" But then again, do I have to be wearing 12-inch heels for that to work? (mind you, that would make me 7-feet tall, so I'd have to be dating Kareem Abdul Jabbar... 

I've asked my friend Justin to help me out here, he's going to give us (me) some flirting tips to help us (me) one day have a successful day of flirting. 

Justin: 

First things first, would it be fair to say that not all the same kind of flirting works on all people. “A quiver of arrows", for all you ladies out there that don’t know what a quiver is.. because every man knows what a quiver is because they all go hunting with their buck knife. A quiver is a cylinder shaped object that holds the arrows. Every hunter knows that you need different kinds of arrows in your quiver. 

P.s. flirting is very much a form of hunting. 

Side note I’ve never actually hunted with bows and arrows. 

Back to arrows and quivers.. So you would want to use one type of arrow on a certain game. But you wouldn’t want to use that same type of arrow on a different game. Like, seriously, how many arrows do you think cupid has in his quiver. So to answer 

Samantha’s questions about touching, giggling, flirting, etc.:

Body language: the language of the body is too unequivocally crucial. It is important because people have less control over the things they show on their face than what they say. She might say one thing and her face might say something completely different. Picture this, a big couch and your sitting on this big couch with lots of room on both left and right side and the girl walks in and sits right next to you. Even though there is all that empty space on the couch. What does that mean? Flags should be going up. She’s clearly into you or she’s blind and she couldn’t see any of the space on the couch. 

So, there it is Ladies, strait out of the horse's mouth... or the boy's mouth, I guess. If there is one man in this world I trust, it's Justin! I am personally going to take his words and treat them as if they are scripture handed down from Aphrodite!
