Office Romances: Dating Within the Work Place

Posted by Blade On November - 10 - 2009
What is your opinion on dating someone you work with and why?
I posed a question to some friends of mine via Titter and Facebook. We spend a large chunk of our lives working. Some people work 12 hour days and most weekends. It is almost inevitable that people would hook up with those they see every day, their colleagues. It’s not a surprise to anyone that the majority of the answers I received were a resounding NO DON’T DO IT!

The Official SolidGame Soundtrack

Posted by Blade On August - 21 - 2009

I’m a huge Guy Ricthie fan. After months of searching I finally managed to get my hands on RocknRolla. The title track immediately got my attention. A band is called Black Strobe and the song is simply titled I’m A Man. I LOVE this tune, its raw! I loved it more when I read the lyrics. Listen to it and you will know what I mean. This ladies and gentlemen I present to you the Official SolidGame Soundtrack.

Suit Up Success

Posted by Blade On August - 14 - 2009

I woke up early, ironed my shirt. Picked out my tie. Assembled the killer combo. Strolled to work with a swagger only a dude with a suit can swing. Walked into the office..paused gave the receptionist a nod and a wink.

<Receptionist> Nice suit…? *smiling*

<Blade>  Why thank you mizz…

…..

<Colleague> didn’t think you ACTUALLY suit up

<Blade> …bro…if you think you can’t …the you are probably right.

<Colleague> …that doesn’t even make sense

<Blade> ….if you were suited up it would.

And so began a legendary day.

How To Choose The Right Suit

Posted by Blade On August - 4 - 2009

I love suits. I don’t have very many but my collection is growing. I James Bond is currently my favourite suit guy second only to Barney Stinson who believes suiting up is a way of life. Following International Suit Up Day coming up on the 13th of August, I decided to do some research on the net about choosing a suit. Choosing a suit isn’t as straight forward as you might think. There are several things to take into consideration, body size/shape, fabric, suit style etc. Hope fully this post will give you a clearer idea on what to do when trying to get a suit.

Hey Mr Nice guy

I know I’m the last person you expected to hear from.

Before you hit the delete button, read this.

You are neither my friend nor my enemy. I have no interest in your fortune or misfortune.
For some reason I felt compelled to write to you in the hope that it would open up your eyes to what’s before you.

A Flaw in The Game

Posted by Blade On July - 20 - 2009

group

Yeap, there is a bug in the matrix, a kink in my game, a crack in wall of SolidGame. I’ve known there was something wrong for some time now but didn’t realise exactly what it was.

The flaw in my Game is Group Theory. Stay with me, stay with me. I’ll explain what this is. Group Theory comes into play when after several months of meeting people, meeting friends of friends and meeting your wingman’s friends and their friends of friends, you begin to travel in groups of 5 or more. Normally a beginner need not worry about this as they would only have to deal with 1 or 2 people. Every small gathering becomes a hive of activity. You often end up bouncing from one group to another but never really settling and having a long conversation with one particular person.

Group Theory Explained.

This can best be explained using levels sarging (actively meeting new people). The levels below are derivatives of Mystery’s theory on levels of sarging. Watch it here.

Level 1:

Approaching singles by yourself. I normally don’t do this unless it’s by chance or out of convenience. I prefer groups. This is just a personal preference.

Level 2:

Approaching couples or mixed sets by yourself. This is where I find my social kung fu works best. Get me a large group of people and I shall endeavour to have them eat out of my hand. It’s a great challenge and the main way I actually meet women.

Level 3:

Approaching groups with your own groups. I.E your out with friends, they are going to stay with your all night. You then go meet other groups of people and introduce them to your group of friends. This is called merging. Eventually at the end of the night you have this gigantic group of people getting to know each other. It’s much easier for you then to get to know anyone within the group because you are now one big tribe with you as the creator. You need great self-confidence to be able to do this.

You’ll you are here when you have groups of people calling you at random hours of the night asking where you are and what you are doing and who you are with. It’s pretty cool but in the beginning it will be a lot of pressure. Trust me on that.

If you actively meet people (people not just girls) for long enough you will most likely end up here.

The Problem:

Usually I’d invite a girl that I’m interested out as part of a group event. This way she gets to meet my friends and vice versa. This is normally after we have been out just by ourselves either earlier.

Sometimes the groups don’t gel very well with each other and so I spend so much time bouncing between the individuals in the group. I end up not spending enough time with the girl that I’m interested in. This often leads to her thinking in disinterested in her.

Also normally when you are the one that has organised the merge, you are, out of courtesy, stuck with the merged group. I don’t have as much freedom or flexibility to move on and do something else. Like a host leaving his own party.

The Solution:

I need to realise that I’m in the position where I get to meet new folk organically anyway. I don’t need to actively do the group merge.

I also need to organise smaller more manageable situations. The larger group merges are more effective when done rarely.

Get over myself! Who cares?! Who am I to think that these grown ass people need my presence to have a good time? ( don’t be afraid to put your own ego/pride in check )

We’ll see how this goes. I think I’ll have this fixed by summer.

“Are you listening to me boy? I’m giving you pearls here.”

So I saw this book whilst watching Oprah ( yeah that’s right I watch Oprah ). Steve Harvey was promoting his new book Act like a Lady – Think like a Man.” What men really think about love, relationships and intimacy.
Steve has a very funny and interesting perspective on men. Some of the things he said are absolutely true. Here is a short clip.

Getting Shot Down: The Fear of Rejection!

Posted by Blade On May - 8 - 2009

rejectionhearbreak

Rejection is a bitch folks. NO ONE likes to get shot down. It’s a prison.

The fear of being rejected is absolute. Because of it, some folks are apprehensive about taking chances or trying something new. In order to protect themselves from potential rejection, they live really solitary lives. The fear holds you back from new friendships, relationships and even opportunities.

It’s the number one thing that prevents men for meeting women and women from meeting me men in my opinion.

I’ve been shot down more times that I can count, stings a little. But lucky for me I have come to understand a few fundamental things. I would like to share these with you.
