Well this week was a bit les religously insightful, and in accordinace with the two-steps forward one step back rule of life, some shit happend. First off the "EA guy" never called us back, even after he said he was going to both send an email and call back. I just sent him another email, just to annoy him, but I digress.

The good thing is that the post-production film guy is STILL interested in licencing the Eschaton engine, which could mean that we are going to get our first licencing deal pretty soon (which is amazing). I am keeping up with him, and it is still all good.

Besides that, I have reverted to drinking mass quantities of diet soda, which contains the poision apartane. I can actually feel this substance making me sick, and yet I keep drinking anyways. Aint it a twisted world?

I just got up enough balls to go hit on chicks around the university, in-between classes. I have a great pickup algorithim (line) that goes something like this.

Me: "Hi, I am a reporter for the school newspaper. Can I ask you some questions?"
Her: "Why yes" astononished that I would pick her "of course"

I then slowly try and move the conversation from talk about the article I am writing ( I really am a reporter) to personal shit. Slowly and yet surely I get the end where I try and get them to get some coffee with me. So far: 3 shots, 1 miss and two blocks ( boyfriends). I am hoping to get in at least one today, it is actually entertaining to do, although a bit nerve racking.

For anyone out there that is thinking "my god what a male pig, all he wants to do is get laid/pick up hordes of women" while this maybe correct I can always justfy this as being a class. Call it "Improving Socialization Skills 101" or "How to meet people you don't know" or possibley even "Socializing." It is a valuable skill that can get you what you want in many different walks of life, not just in the women department.

Mainly I have been trying to reframe what I see around me (reality) in my mind to be less scary and more maluable. I am concinving myself that what I see around me is here for me to play with, my own little video game that I can explore. What I am finding out is that it is, and that I can change parts of the game that I didn't even dream as being possible.
