November Rain

 

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my own 

Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Some meaningful lyrics for all of you who are dealing with challenges / obstacles. Just keep at it and things will be fine one day.

The Pick Up Line

'My magic watch says you're not wearing any underwear'

'Oh you're wrong. I definitely am'

'Damn, it's gone 15 minutes early again'

[It's been awhile. I've slipped. Due to a combination of being ultra busy, writer's block and dis-inspiration, I just haven't found the drive to write. Things have stabilized somewhat though, so here we go again]

Yes, the pick up line. Subject of interest and fascination by those who believe in magic super lines that will cause the ladies to smile, swoon and melt. Also the subject of scorn and late party discussions of 'what's the worst one you ever heard?'

Here's the bad news. Magic super lines? Don't exist.

The good news? Lines really aren't worth that much. Some tend to over-analyze and over-emphasize, but they're just a means of initiating a conversation. What's more important is the complete approach which may include but is not limited to the following:

1. Not appearing like a desperado/creepy serial killer/sex-crazed rapist
2. Being well dressed and well groomed
3. Keeping confident body language & smile
4. Reading the responses of the target audience - some people may just be having a bad day and not interested in intercourse (conversation) - just move on
5. Keeping the conversation light and humorous - steering away from overly serious topics - life/death, religion, politics, the effects of $86/barrel oil prices on the Malaysian economy...
6. Having fun, without expectations

Want a little conversation to try? "Hey, I've gtg in awhile but I'd like your opinion on something. Do you think pick up lines work?"

So what do I think is the world's best pick up line?

"Hello"

p.s. if you guys have any great pick up lines do send them over for mutual discussion, laughs and improvement :)
