It is your signature that I was referencing. I've been pretty much anti-Lakers since 1988. Although, I've probably been anti-Celtics since 1986 so in other words, I could really care less who wins, as I hope that both teams lose. |
My words... I'm anti lakers all my life and I do not enjoy Celtics playing, but who is thinking about Basket ball two days before the World Cup...?
I didn't knew there was a Resident Evil movie made up in CG technology... I will rent it tomorrow... they used the same graphics than in the original games... great to hear that..!!!  |
What World Cup?

Sorry. The World Cup is barely a blip on the radar here in the USA. It will be curious to see how far the US goes in the World Cup. It'll be interesting that if the USA were to make it to the semifinals or finals if there would be giant upsurge in interest, or if it would just go largely unnoticed.

If I had cable I might care a little more about sports, but since I can't even see them unintentionally I am completely free of caring about them.

You just need to get out to Buffalo Wild Wings more often so that you can (a) see more sports and (b) meet women.

I suppose I should have also said (c) eat more chicken wings, but I guess that was a given.

I think that I have only had wings there once. I usually either get their burgers, their nachos, or their pulled pork slammers.

Matt, I assume from your previous comments that you are quite introverted .

I'm vouching for the Italians for the World Cup. Screw England!

That is tough, but I can relate. I am quite extroverted around friends and family and within familiar surroundings, but I am really quiet within groups of people that I am not familiar with.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't shy.

As I said. I can relate. From reading the forums, I think that many of us can relate. I've always been really shy myself. As I've gotten older I have gotten better, but I still have "panic" attacks when I have to go to meetings with clients that I am not familiar with, or if I go to business society meetings.

I just got lost in my new neighborhood while taking a walk. Oh well, at least I had King Crimson to keep me company.

I know what you mean. I guess we do have more than Rush in common.

Yep. I'm not really sure where I get it from. Both of my parents seem to be quite extraverted. Probably, my dad moreso than my mom. There is nothing wrong with being shy and quiet, but I prefer my extraverted moments. Alcohol has a way of helping with that, but unfortunately, can too easily become a crutch.
Some pretty basic advice that I can give you is (a) the worse that they can do is say "no", ignore you or tell you to go away. Unless "They" are a stranger offering you candy in which case it is best to avoid anyways; (b) although not always true, many people are just as afraid to approach you as you are to approach them. Although it can be extremely awkward it is amazing how small talk and a few kind words can break the ice with other people. That is not to say that after the small talk the awkwardness won't come back but at least your foot is in the door and you can decide whether it is worth expanding upon the conversation or leaving it at the small talk; (c) it is important that you step outside of your comfort zone by trying to meet new people on occasion; because (d) surprisingly, the more you do it, the easier it gets.
