“Let’s Go To the Mall!”

Robin Sparkles? How I Met Your Mother reference? Anyone?

Kevin and I were strolling through the mall a couple days ago when we decided to do our fair share of people watching. Actually, I take that back. It’s impossible NOT to people watch when you’re there because the mall is full of characters. The man in front of us must have gotten warm within the first ten seconds of walking inside because he whipped off his fleece zip-up pullover so fast and proceeded to tie the arms around his waist.

I literally only thought that that was something only kids did. Somehow, we found it amusing. When I got home to read my blog roll I discovered several posts about malls! WHOAAA!

How to be a Retronaut recently made a post of snapshots taken of USA malls back in the summer of 1990. Oh how things can change in just 20 years…

Going to the mall always leaves me with a slew of unanswered questions. Why would I want to test out one of your hair straighteners that you have offered to every single person walking by your stand? Lice – do not want. Why do middle school teenagers run from store to store without actually doing any shopping? Why does the Panda Express line always have to be so long?  This list could go on forever, but one thing that I will never understand is why girlfriends bring their boyfriends to the mall with them and why do they agree to this kind of torture? Unless you are buying something for yourself, there is no possible way that you are accompanying her for fun. I imagine that it must be hell for you. Then I laugh to myself because of the situation that you have found yourself in and typically that ridicule comes out when I see you at Victoria’s Secret. It is an awkward hot mess for everyone around you.

The Playbook

If I could swoon over any character from a television series, it would probably be How I Met Your Mother’s Barney Stinson played by Neil Patrick Harris. Well, my first choice would be Adam Brody, but that show is long gone so naturally, I had to move on. Barney has got the most game that I have ever seen in a character, let alone, out of anyone I know in real life. He always knows the right thing to do and say except in Season 3-Episode 10 “The Yips.” If you haven’t seen the show at all, you should probably get on that. This year, I missed his annual “suit up” day, but feel that I redeemed myself when I hosted my “Legen-wait for it-Dary” birthday party.

If you’re a guy that has not had a great deal of success in your game, I suggest you pick up a copy of “The Playbook” to guide you along. Couldn’t hurt right? In fact, buy all three books because they will probably change your life.
