Ever wish you could skip ahead in time, just to see how it all plays out? Same. When something is out of my hands, I find myself wanting to know the ending, even if I can’t change or control the story.

If this is outdated, then what’s today’s equivalent?
Attention Young Men: I am surrounded by 20 year old girls in my life that are smart, capable, hard working and cute. Nobody is dating them. Not sure what the deal is, but I don’t get it. Step 1: Stop playing video games Step 2: Head to great clips and get that lettuce cleaned up Step 3: Hit a shower (when dating hygiene is critical) Step 4: Go clean your car Step 5: Sign up for a yoga class Step 6: Go to the yoga class Step 7: Ask a cute for her phone number at yoga class (yes you can meet girls IRL and not just on the apps - 10/10 the Dirt Dog highly recommends) Step 8: Follow up within 2 days with a phone call and ask them out for this coming weekend Friday or Saturday night. Step 9: IMPORTANT - come up with a good game plane for date night. Get a dinner reservation, get an activity planned. Let them know in advance what you are doing so they can dress appropriately. I know you are gunna roll off the couch and head to date night, but they are not. They are going to stress about what to wear and call at least 6 different people on FaceTime to ask their opinion. Step 10: I highly recommend you bring flowers to the door step. I’m not covering that you go to the doorstep, because if you don’t do that you have no hope here. Women want men to date them. You don’t need to break the bank on flowers. Head to Trader Joe’s. Grab 2 different kinds of flowers. If you don’t know what matches find the closest looking lady to your mom at TJ’s and ask her. Wrap the 2 flowers into 1 bouquet with paper. Bonus Points you can cut open a TJ bag and use that as the paper. Step 11: Be a gentleman on the date. She isn’t there to hear your life story. Ask her about her. For every 1 question you answer, ask her 3. Open Doors, pay for the meal, be polite. Provided you follow most of this guideline you are highly likely to get yourself an opportunity for date number 2. Keep going until you find someone that you can’t imagine not being around all the time. That’s when you have found a good one for you. My life is complete with my wife as my companion. I wish you the same fortune in life. Happy Hunting.

Anyone else have a loan rate resetting this month? Well today the 10-year briefly hit 5.34% this morning, its highest level since 2002. Sigh šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø

I recently watched the show I survived a serial killer, and now I’m meeting someone from Craigslist who wants my free office furniture. Wish me luck 😳 I need to stop with these shows.

Anyone else go into a little summer-is-over depression? Like, you’ve just had the most incredible summer ever… and suddenly it’s over and you’re back to normal, everyday routine life. 😩

My daughter and I fly a lot, but I can’t earn her miles. So I opened an AAdvantage account for her. Since she’s under 21, her miles don’t expire. I would guess it’s the same for most airlines. At this rate, she could have hundreds of thousands of miles by the time she’s 21.

My daughter is obsessed with squishy toys and I can’t wait for this trend to be over!

San Francisco is the best city in the USA if you want to be part of the greatest inventions of our time right now. Miami is the best city in the USA if you’re already done thinking, or have made your millions, and just want to fugg around, have fun, and save taxes. (Or if you can work from home) Both I love šŸ’•

It’s tax free month in Florida - that includes laptops and iPads. Now’s the time if you need one.

Was on a conference call today with a landscaping company to go over a bid. Halfway through the call, the guy starts talking negative about the other company who bid job. Immediately he lost credibility.

What happened in the Bitcoin world this past week? Over 600 bitcoins stolen from offline wallets. How?! Crazy.

I actually like the jet lag coming back from Europe. Going to bed at 7 PM and waking up at 4 AM. If only I could stay in this routine.

I spent many years doing retail leasing for large institutions… before AI. Many of the leasing strategies we relied on then are obsolete. Today AI can generate prospect lists in minutes, find decision makers and contact information, build spreadsheets, summarize reviews from many sources, and create marketing flyers. Tasks that used to take days or weeks now take minutes. One thing that’s irreplaceable, building relationships. It’s reducing the busy work so you can spend more time building relationships. It makes me wonder how much things will change 10 years from now?

A friend of mine has a new boyfriend. They’ve been together about six months. Things have been going great. Until… He sent her one of his ChatGPT prompts, thinking he was sharing just that one prompt. Nope. He accidentally shared his ENTIRE ChatGPT conversation history about her… going all the way back to when they first met. Six months of thoughts. Doubts. Complaints. Analysis. Things she said. Things he needed AI to help him process. ALL. OF. IT. It was bad. Real bad.

The influencers that post picture perfect traveling throughout Italy (myself included)…. no, it’s a total shit show getting around. Trains are overflowing, roads are narrow and not for amateurs, and getting to your hotel or airbnb, probably requires plenty of steps or dragging luggage on cobblestones. But once you’re there, it is all worth the journey.

Paris restaurants could increase revenue just by occasionally checking to see if their customers would like to order something else… or perhaps pay. šŸ˜‚šŸ‡«šŸ‡· As a customer, both feel like an impossible task.

Paris is full of feminine men who look like they just walked a fashion show.
