ahhhh, there we go.

there’s things that are innate, and there are things that are learned. hollering at a girl is a learned trait as far as i can tell. who knows where you pick it up. now, when i say hollering, i don’t mean facebook/myspace pimping. i mean finding her out and about in georgetown or on newbury street, giving her the crucial eye, or the smile, and going in for the kill. sometimes you get it, and sometimes you miss. sometimes you’re almost there, and you fumble it. allow me to illustrate the perfect metaphor. don’t even try and skip it. you need to see the clip.

good god! girls can be like that rabbit sometimes: evasive and elusive. some dudes have persistence, and some don’t care what happens in the end. they can deal with that rejection. they’ll find another rabbit chillin in another field. ain’t no biggie. shy guys can’t fade that. we don’t have time to be carried like the food you get from a carryout. shy guys are conservative for the most part, because those embarrassing moments are can bring that ego down to about a -2 on the 1-10 scale. no way josé.

do you think we want to be like this!? hell nah! we want to be able to sweet talk ladies like cory did topanga. and we can. we just didn’t develop that game in our younger days. or maybe we had it, but lost our touch when people got real sexy after puberty. whatever. my point is, unless you’re extra bold and can switch your style as dramatically as a bisexual, the chances of the skill of hollering won’t develop like one would like.

but like like wayne said on this song, where there’s a will, there’s a way. if you want to, you can do it with a crucial short cut. just like how baseball players have their steroids and hgh to hit barry bonds-esque homers, shy guys have liquor courage to spit vicious game. venomous. oh boy!

liquor courage, a phrased recently coined by my dude whose identity will be concealed for security purposes, is when you take a few drinks to the head, and then you hit the streets on a mean, mean mission to find the baddest joint out there. scenario: the club. you know every breezy in the joint is looking gorgeous. regardless of whether its natural beauty or just the make up, you want to talk to one of them! and yet, you’re frozen. shiiit. the power move!? the bar. or the pre-game. whichever floats your boat. the latter is typically cheaper, and more powerful. after that, you feel like superman, and anything you want can come out your mouth, with absolutely no remorse. college students, i know you feel me. as i am legally of age to drink alcohol, i can safely say that on those nights where i just may be twisted like some dreadlocks, i’ve done some great work. i’ll leave it at that. a wise man once told me, people love confident people. that drank will have you damn near cocky. even you’ll be surprised at the marvelous things you’ll be saying to your newfound lady friend. keep it under control, because liquor courage has a sweet spot. i know i’m in it when my vision is looking similar to this:

yessir. the sweet spot. a little blurry, but you still know what she looks like. once you exceed that, though, you could make the horrible mistake of hollering at a girl that looks like the main character from hell boy. or (arguably) worse, you could wake up like this guy:

not to scare you or anything. that’s just what it is. let me know if you can co-sign this liquor courage.

    Being from the south and moving to the north has shown me the differences in the way guys approach. Northern Shy guys never approach unless tipsy but in the south I reckon their not as much phased by the rejection part.

  3. 3 marlon

    i can most def cosign that liquor courage. fully and totally relate-able. LOL I had previously coined it confidence juice early this year b/c of that confidence boast.

  4. 4 Ashlee

    Liquor Courage and Confidence Juice lol….my oh my. I’ll cosign. L definitely gives shy guys that extra boost to say anything and everything that was on their minds when they caught a glimpse of shorty at the beginning of the party. After the first drink is poured, it’s a wrap. Shy guys are closet freaks. And the freaks come out at night.

  5. 5 kemiiiii

    haha. I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard. lol! modi, you speak the truth. but honestly I feel like it goes for anyone after a couple of drinks, you tend to just say what’s on your mind. & that’s from personal experience.

  6. 6 modi

    oh boy. ashlee sounds like she has been with a rack of shy guys. or maybe she’s a shy girl, and it’s REAL first hand experience. i’m just saying though. who knows.

  7. 7 tiye

    i love the term liquor courage although sometimes its just more like a lack of inhibitions. thats def what i love about liquor. now i know what to do to get them boxers from a shy guy easily… buy him a drank

    This is prolly one of the best things I have read. I think I just get more confidence after the liquor. I’ve seen many people in action after a few sips of that drank. Personally the confidence boost for me is great. Start getting at girls you never thought you could. But the thing is that those girls are drinking that same drank and letting loose. It’s a win win situation. OH YEA

  9. 9 cfreshwhite

    another good one modi man! i already have the confidence so no need for the liquor. trust me, no one wants a dude/girl who doesn’t think they’re the shit. if you don’t have confidence in yourself, how could you expect someone else to think highly of you. warning, don’t be extreme to where you’re cocky!

  10. 10 shay

    i find this post to be crucial to life, and exactly that.

  11. 11 Rel

    Modi you a wild boy for this one, but you do get that superhero in yo system. Swag goes up a couple notches definately. So if u already stuntin on em and think ur a fly dude off break, now you on some straight cocky stuff sir. Don’t sleep, it ain’t just liquor that does that too…

  12. 12 pootie

    LMFAO good shit

  13. 13 makkah

    ahaha i love this post. i’m so sad i didn’t see this before. I totally agree with Jade. Guys in the south don’t mind making a fool of themselves, sober or otherwise. Cold weather makes people all funny inside…

  14. 14 gil aka socialistic

    yo im defintely feeling your shy guy blogs, is either you do it like max and go in for the kill or let the liquor boost your hidden prime mate like game! lol
