After working like a dog, looking forward to my two-week vacation, I endured the the most disappointing vacation ever and in the process made a choice to finally start living life, making it one of the most important two weeks of my life.

As of right now it's 2009, I'm sitting in and airport waiting for my flight to return home, who books a flight at seven in the morning on new years day? Don't ask me, someone else booked them. I going on 24 ours awake, and turkish coffee is really doing the trick.

But as I sit here, I'm thinking about all the time wasted in 2008, all the times I said I want to do this, I should do this, I need to get in shape and so on.....yet doing nothing about it. So many things I've started yet never completed, screenplays, tasks, this and that. The only thing I have whole 100% was pickup within the last 6 months, and it's helped improve me so much. At this time, I really want to commit to all these things, I've wanted to work harder at, yet have let laziness take the best of me.

In response to a completely dead bloggosphere at the moment, I've decided to write up a quite something.

I watched Wedding Crashers for the 167th time the other day, and I realized something. For anyone who hasn't seen it you certainly should, its a great movie. But Owen Wilson's character, goes for this girl in the movie. And there are so many things standing in his way.

1.) She's the Secretary of State's daughter
2.) She has a boyfriend
3.) She later finds out they plan on getting engaged

In that type of situation I would have said, "oh its over" right from the very start, but still he pursues her all he says throughout that movie is "I just need more time"

I want to start not by expressing how the Workshop started or how great it was, but with describing how I first met Brad.

I had been attending the 2008 PUA SUMMIT, I had only been in the game for about two weeks, and got a good deal on a ticket. I read about all the speakers attending, and was already curious about Brad he was the only one with no picture.

Someone pointed him out to me when he first got there, and as I had been walking out on the lunch break I noticed him walking in front of me and another new guy attending. I approached just because I wanted to say, hello and because I’d been so curious to who he was. He said he was on his wait to get a bite to eat and said me and the other person attending should join.

Sometimes the truth can come at you so hard you have to step back. This post is going to be very personal because I got hit in the face this week with a powerful truth. At first, it hurt, but now I feel very hopeful about living an authentic, happy life going forward.

Let me cut to the chase. I wouldn't waste time with John Alanis (www.johnalais.com) or Joseph Matthews Charm School (www.purepersonality.com), both of which are, in my opinion, vastly overpriced recycled fluff. For the money ($400+), I'd highly recommend a few coaching sessions with AMP (www.authenticsf.com), where you can work with an expert to address your PERSONAL needs.

I’m here to tell you that the romantic notion behind marriage and relationships is society-imposed BS. Relationships and marriages are not what they’re cracked up to be. Most people – men especially – marry for all the wrong reasons, and most men would be far happier being single. Far, far happier.

Over the past few months, I've been coaching BigSend in everything from getting a mission to getting a girlfriend.

It started informally and I have to admit - I've really enjoyed it.

This is my long overdue review of Authentic Man Program's Power of Appreciation (AMP's POA). I think the reason it was so overdue is because it was so awesome, I rushed into trying this stuff and had great success and posted a few field reports, then I just sort of coasted, enjoyed what I learned, and moved on.

After going through POA, I had a string of one night stands and now I am in a relationship (which I need to write a post on soon). Surrendered My Nervousness + Opened my Heart = Best Date Ever is a date I had right after the POA program.

If one wants to mature as a man, he must keep death in mind at all times. David DeAngelo talks about this in his “On Being a Man” program, which I highly recommend. This week, I made friends with death and the lesson will change my life forever.
