here’s something about holidays that bring out the worst in people. Now don’t read this and think I’m some sour, crusty old man who is a Grinch and who steals people’s pumpkins at Halloween. I need to let you know, however, that in terms of a social opportunity I think holidays are for amateurs.
Everybody gears up for three days out of the year: Halloween, New Year’s Eve and The 4th of July. The drunken women who are counting down “5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1 …” are the same drunken women who are going “Woo Hoo!” when the fireworks go off on The 4th of July, and they are the same drunken women who dress up in the hooker outfits for Halloween to tease all the men (and who you will see throwing up in the corner into a big plastic pumpkin!)
Holidays are a blast . . . hanging out with friends, barbecuing, sucking down a few beers, getting corn stuck in your teeth, and eating some low-quality hamburger meat. But searching for and thinking that a magical party on The 4th of July is going to yield you the social results that have evaded you the rest of the year is a crock of shit! The 4th of July is just one day. The expectations on holidays never equal the results.

What Story Do You Hide Behind?
Today’s podcast is going to be really interesting, but also really short, because I want to be sure to get this message across to you guys. I’m not going to tell you exactly what it is here cause I want to be sure you will listen to it.
Before I go into today’s blog, though, a little update for you. Within the last week I went to get a second opinion about my back, and based upon that I am not going to have surgery.
According to this doctor, who is one of the top doctors in Los Angeles, my body can heal itself. Apparently what I have is really not that serious. The doctor says that the herniated disc and the fragments that are attached to it can heal themselves.

Stop Speaking From Your Dick
Today’s podcast is all about speaking from your heart and communicating from your heart. This is something that really sunk in with me the other day during a conversation with my girlfriend. I really became conscious of the important difference between speaking from your head and speaking from your heart.
I was really irritated about something — I don’t know if it was something having to do with her or something else, but I was frustrated. As I was talking to her, she says to me “You’re so in your head. Speak from your heart.” So I took a deep breath and thought about it, and I realized that I was speaking from frustration (and from my head).
Speaking from the head (as opposed to from the heart) is something that men in particular tend to do when talking to women. We want to go and meet women, and yet we’re not speaking their language.

Do You Suffer From Perfect Picture Disease?
What is the perfect picture mentality? On a Friday night, we go out with these amazing expectations of what is going to occur.
We think, this is the night; this is the party or whatever thing we’re meant to go to. We have this perfect idea of how the night should turn out.
You’re going to talk to the woman who had that college sweatshirt on two weeks ago, because you finally have figured out something to say to her. But then she walks in wearing a different sweatshirt, and you don’t have anything to say.
We have this perfect picture of the way things are going to be. And then once we arrive, the night progresses and reality begins to set in. When reality sets in, all of a sudden that perfect picture just disappears.

Stop Stalking Women
On my blog this week I have spent a lot of time talking about ass.
Let’s continue Ass Week, because really let’s be honest. Most men will always want to check out a woman’s ass. It reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer mistakenly gets a Proctologist’s vanity plates which say “Assman” on them.
I thought I’d go a little deeper, though, for today’s Ass Week blog. So for most of the men out there who want to be able to get some ass, you especially will want to pay attention to this story I’m going to tell.
Today I’d like to talk about The Slow Stalker. This guy is my favorite. My girlfriend and I actually just ran into him.

Become a 7/11
I don’t know if any of you wake up cheery, but I have a rule with everyone who works with me that there are no phone calls before noon. I like to slowly wake up in the morning . . . whatever time that may be.
I mean, my girlfriend and I hardly talk to each other in the morning. In the morning, I go for a walk and make breakfast while she goes and gets herself ready. We rarely even speak before 11:00 a.m.
Right now, though, I have houseguests. Yes, my girlfriend’s mother and her aunt are staying with us and they like to start talking to me first thing thing in the morning. So I have developed a routine. I’m friendly and I smile, but then I go down to the beach and answer emails on my BlackBerry for an hour.

A Quick Bar Opener
Do you want a quick easy fun bar opener that no one ever thinks of or uses.
Here is an experiment I did one time with a friend in a bar. Coach Jacob and I just stood in one place, but we had an animated conversation. We were just having a good time. We stood right in the middle of the bar – so that everyone in the bar was standing around us – and just talked animatedly.
And women started coming over to us, asking, “What are you guys talking about?” We’d say, “Look, I’ll meet with you in five minutes; we just have to finish this conversation.” I would push them away a little bit, which would intrigue them a little bit more. In a bar, you can be very playful like that.
So after a few minutes, I looked at one woman and kind of waved her over. She came over and asked, “What?” and I said, “You were curious about what we were talking about, and I want to tell you.” Then I explained what it was we were talking about. “We were just discussion life and the nature of spirituality…” and she just stood there with her mouth wide open.

Kill The Bogeyman
Jason Voorhees is coming at you right now at summer camp holding a gigantic knife. Freddy Krueger is pulling you into the bed. Bruce, the mechanical shark from Jaws, is swimming right toward you at top speed.
The Bogeyman is actually in your closet. Remember when you were a little kid, and you were absolutely terrified to look under your bed because you thought the Bogeyman (or that evil clown from the movie Poltergeist) was hiding under it?
Remember all these terrifying moments as a child? You just couldn’t look inside that closet no matter what because you were truly afraid that the Bogeyman was hiding inside of it.

Don’t Settle for Less
Are you dating somebody you really like? Or are you dating someone because you’re afraid that you will never meet anybody else better? Are you just compromising?
For those of you who missed my podcast a few weeks ago about the “it” factor, let me remind you what it is: it’s all about finding somebody that you’re really excited about. You know, that Tom Cruise jump-on-the-couch moment for Katie Holmes.
Sure, we all made fun of it, but who wouldn’t want to jump up and down on their own couch? We’re probably not famous enough to jump on Oprah’s couch, but wouldn’t you like to be so excited by someone that it made you want to jump up and down like that? Don’t you want to feel so excited about somebody that you’re just about to burst?

The Ultimate Abundance Mindset
You want to have the ultimate mindset. It’s just like we were talking about– we were just discussing owning your own business, and sales – come January 1st, if you own your own business, you always feel like you are broke. In sales, you feel the same way.
You feel like you have to get that first deal of the year. You have to compare yourself to the previous year, and you want to continually improve your statistics. You’re competitive, you want to make more money, and you want to be more successful than you were the previous year.
We all do it – I do it too. I’ve done some really cheap things, like holding checks for the month of December, and then sticking them in the bank January 1st so I feel like I’ve made more money. You’re still paying the same amount of taxes on it, it doesn’t really make a difference, but this way you wake up on January 2nd, thinking, yeah, I’ve got all this cash in the bank already!

Are You A Good Talker
I have found that for many of you the following is true: once you overcome MEETING someone, you still don’t really know how to date the person successfully. And many of you are just settling for relationships that you’re not really all that excited about.
So the first thing that I really want to discuss with you all is communication. Communication is the key to everything in a relationship – including intimacy.
Why? Because without communication, you’ll never really be able to connect – to really share your desires and wishes with your partner.
