So, Houston experienced Hurricane Ike. I went with two of my closest friends to experience it first hand. I guess you could call it 'storm chasing.' That was definitely an experience. It really opened my eyes, and my mind. I have a greater respect for mother nature, I also realize now that the things people fear based on risk alone do not ALWAYS end in a bad way. Actually the percentages of risk involved with a great amount of things are incredibly low. People do things like evacuate cities to ELIMINATE risk. I'm fine with living my life with a little bit of risk. The hurricane helped me understand that.
Also, just the fact that the three of us went, and no one else would go really made me think about who I am (we are.) Either we're really crazy (which I doubt,) or we want to get the most out of life.
So as for game... I've been letting loose a little bit more. I just flirt more now. It's not like 'oh you're sexy' flirting but more like... 'Hey, give me your barret.' She says, 'give me your shirt..' I say, 'nope, the shirt will cost you two barrets.'
Just shit like that to get me talking to more and more women. I really need to start going balls to the wall.
Anyway, Houston is without power (for the most part) and my internet connection has yet to come online. I will definitely be sending updates soon as October is going to be a hell of a month. I haven't really done much to talk about recently. Besides getting back on track with investing/business planning as well as planning to be debt free in under 6 months... And BUYING my own place... I've just been doing a good amount of planning.
Talk soon.

Labor Day Weekend...
All-in-All I guess you could say my Labor Day weekend was fun. It went sour toward the end, but the days leading up to that were great. I'm going to recap Thursday through Tuesday... so enjoy...
Thursday...
...was spent at a Happy Hour with some Co-workers... That was fun.. I played some pool... then left. I feel like this is a part of my life I don't have under control yet, so I don't try and do the whole PU thing in front of co-workers/family/friends/ people who don't know this side of me. When they see it, I want it to shock them. Like, I didn't know he had it in him! Not like, wow... Look, he just got rejected by that girl. (Fear of rejection? First of the girl rejecting me, then second of the friends/family seeing the girl reject me!! Crazy realization.)
After that I went to hang out with EXBaby... She called me while I was at the happy hour to talk about her relationship. She kept hinting that I should come over, but I didn't push for it... Well 5 minutes later a mutual friend of ours calls me and says she's heading over to EXBaby's place. So, now I'm on my way! I see this as a huge opportunity to make her want me. Even if I'm not going to follow through with anything, it's a great feeling to be wanted. Especially by a girl who totally fucked me over in the past.
We hang out... I tell her to rub my back. She refuses. Then I freeze out and she complies. She does that then stops... I look at her like 'you're not done' so she continues. I ask for a tour, she says no... I do something, and she complies. I forget how I handled it - I might edit if I remember it.
Long story short. Nothing Happened. She is a married woman - I respect the sanctity of marriage, for now, so I'm not going to mess with it.
That's that... I left at the peak of the night, when we were having the most fun...
Friday...
...Went to some local pubs to hang out... I didn't do much opening... actually I don't think I did any opening... I've kindof gone back into my shell. I've noticed that the whole 'knowing people at the venue who don't know what I'm doing' thing keeps me from acting how I want to. It's almost as though I have this certain persona built up that exists to everyone who knows me... and even though I'm changing, I'm afraid to show them the work I'm putting into it. It's like I only want them to see the finished product.
After that I went to an afterparty with Commentator... We hung out, played some rockband (1st time ever)... and then left. It was fun, I didn't know anyone there... but it was fun regardless, and there were no single chics.
Saturday...
...I went out with a friend to X-bar which is a cool place for rocker type people. We had fun there... I was actually opening... I ran a digital camera routine.. You know.. where you offer to take their picture then take a picture of yourself and some people around you, and then FINALLY of the group. Well I did that... and then I actually leaned in and took a picture of me with the group. I gave them the camera back and took off. We were there with a few friends, and I was being a little vagina when it came to opening (what's new?) so I didn't make THAT much progress. I did get a little bit more comfortable in some areas though. After that we went to a crappy bar (which reminds me of EX-Stupid - she took me there on my 21st.), and I practice conversation skills with people I already knew. I was just working on keeping the conversation going.
Sunday...
... I spent 3 hours playing football with some friends. That was a blast... the food I ate before playing football, however, was not. Well I guess it was... It all came up at 5 in the morning.
So I played football in the near 100-degree heat for 3 hours... It was a great workout, but I felt like shit afterward. I still wanted to go out though... I had Monday and Tuesday off from work, and this was my second to last day to go out (plus it was Labor Day.) I found a cool 'white attire' party at a local club, so I told Commentator. He was down to role and we had a back-up venue just incase we couldn't get in. We get there aroun 10:30 and the place is dead. He and I sat around and had awesome deep conversation for a while. We even got so deep to look at our outfits and go... 'I'm not this guy.' but then minutes later say, damn I look good... haha... I was seriously feeling like shit all night, so I wasn't opening a damn thing. Now don't get me wrong, I hate excuses more than anyone, but I can admit that I am still overcoming AA and the sickness didn't help with it. He opened maybe 4-5 sets... he actually got really good responses when he did. We left pretty early (around 2) and I was home by 2:30. I went directly to sleep... I woke up at 5am and ran to the restroom (I don't drink) and HURLED. I mean... I was hugging the toilet for a good 5 minutes. Everything that was not yet digested came up. I'm no doctor so I'm not guessing what made me sick... but, 'fluids and rest' cure everything. I cleaned up and started drinking fluids, and sleeping.
Monday...
... Consisted of sleeping until about 10pm watching an hours worth of David D's 'Approaching Women in Bars & Clubs...' Then watching 'The Bank Job' then going back to sleep.
Tuesday... I felt better and went out to run errands. Went to the school to sign up for classes. Plenty of girls there - I did N-o-t-h-i-n-g ... What the hell? Really? Yeah... I did nothing. In my defense against myself, I was still feeling really light headed and I was having cold sweats, even just standing in line... So I was in no shape to be hollering. That night I went out with a good old friend... He is probably the guy I've been close to for the longest period of time...
Now... I know I mentioned that I practice conversation with people... but there is no harm done in working on yourself in the interactions you have. The people who stick around me the longest get to know the real me. The others, well they don't really care what I think of them do they?
