What do women want?

This past week I read a book and sent a copy to Dave in case he found it interesting. I won't go into detail about the book, but the basic philosophy is that women don't want to be approached by a nice guy who does what every other nice guy does. Women really do go for the jerks, but not in the way you think.

While I won't suggest that everything the author has written is "the gospel" regarding women, it's surprising how much of what he wrote resonated with my personal experiences. It gave me a rational explanation why some girls in my past have run from me faster than Dave running away from you-know-who... and why other girls (often the attached ones) have seemed way too easy to befriend and attract. The reason it's so compelling to me is that I'm a people watcher and he doesn't contradict any of the things I discovered by trial and error.

He even talks about some tricks it took me 30 years to figure out on my own.

Long story short it's given me a bit more confidence and convinced me to fake it 'till I make it. I figure I'll start doing a bit of weight training in hopes that someday my metabolism will change and allow me to put on some muscle mass. If nothing else there might be a cutie at the gym!

It's about time

Wouldn't you say? Yes, yes you would. Well Jack does at least. Frequently.

Speaking of time, if I was to ask you to name the most famous piece of classical music from the18th century - or better yet even of all time - what song would you name? I'll bet there would be a ton of votes for things like Vivaldi's Spring, or Beethoven's 5th symphony. I have to clarify that by famous I don't necessarily mean the best, or the most acclaimed - I simply mean the most recognized, the most familiar. The good Lord knows it should be with the same chord progression repeated 54 bloody times (thank you Rob Paravonian for counting.) Don't get me wrong I quite like this piece and I make sure that I don't listen to it too often because it is slightly repetitive. That's right, it's Pachelbel's Canon in D.

check out the 'original one-hit-wonder' with comedian Rob Paravonian, and even if you're not a music nerd like I am you'll at least get a good laugh.

cheers,
Dave
