Transcript

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you're not doing the "no destination" outing, at least every two weeks, make your life feel like a movie. Here's what I'm talking about. A lot of people think that these movie-like scenes don't happen in real life. They do, you're just not doing the no outing thing. Let me explain. So, I was like running around in my house, you know, you get that itch to just go out. Do it lonely. Then of my friends are available. So I was like, damn. I grabbed my keys and I went out. So, Hour 1: Yap w employees. I walk into this art gallery, right? These ladies are standing there, they're just the nicest people ever. One of them is like, "Oh, do you model?" And I'm like, "No, not really." She's like, "You're going to." LOL, check my page. Guess who took their digital's every day? Me. Hour 2: Hold a convo. Then from the art gallery, I turned, okay, I want to go to a cafe, get a little drink, you know, do a little work. I sit down, that lady next to me, she's crocheting. I crochet. So, we talked for 20 minutes straight. More than that. Boom. The K-berg dance is still going on. So I was like, you know what? I'll just check it out. I'll go in line. There's these two guys there, they seem kind of cool. I'm holding my water. I go up to them. Do you know what I did, guys? I was like, "Hey, can I like, stand here with y'all?" Like, is that cool? They were like, "No." I was like, you know what? I'm just gonna ask if I can stand. So I did. Then watch that game with them. Then watch the next soccer game. And guess who got invited to go to a lake house? Some time in July. Let's go! That's not movie, I don't know what it is. So. If you want this to be you, I'm gonna start something called Social Bingo. Comment for social bingo. So, comment Social Bingo if you want more.
