Step #1: Know what you’re talking about. Never argue with people without fully understanding the topic, because then you just look stupid. Sources never hurt, either. Continue reading “[Day 349] HOW TO: argue efficiently”

Things a’gonna change
Since my blog today was short (even though I also gave you a bonus vid of farmer’s market) I thought I’d post a little update/housekeeping blog. Also, I need to kill time because I’m supposed to pick up lunch but I’m not hungry yet. So… yeah. Continue reading “Things a’gonna change”
[Day 348] HOW TO: be attractive
Step #1: Give a crap. You wouldn’t believe how just caring about yourself will boost your confidence and your attractiveness.
Step #2: Love yourself. Nothing is sexier than confidence and self-respect. If you don’t love you, why should anyone else?
Step #3: Smile.
Farmer’s Market with Megan
She made me title it that. This is another kind of test video for my new camera, but I like it because I like the farmer’s market.
It’s funny, because whenever Megan and I go to the farmer’s market, we basically only get a piece of pizza and walk around. We never buy the peaches, which is about the only thing they have fresh for sale, or any of the other produce. And we don’t even go to see other people. We just… go. Because it’s nice to see your community hanging out. I think that’s one thing I’ll miss in college; the sense of small town community I have with this place, because it’s so familiar and yet it always manages to surprise and enchant me.
NEW CAMERA AAAAAHH

[Day 344] HOW TO: do minimal work while babysitting
Step #1: Figure out how to worth the TV. They will become distracted immediately, at least until the show ends and there’s that five to ten minute wait before the next show starts. Sometimes, they’ll resist. At this point, ask them to go pick up toys in the general vicinity of the TV, wait a minute or two, then go find them staring slack-jawed at the TV. Casually sit down at the couch and wait for them to join you. When the show ends, repeat. Continue reading “[Day 344] HOW TO: do minimal work while babysitting”
