The Tao of Wetzelbill

[Wetzelbill]

So I just had an interesting encounter. An attractive sports radio personality just emailed me her number, after I sent her some information, and cracked some jokes back and forth with her. We've done this a little before, plus she's seen my picture on my myspace page etc.

See the thing is, I just pretty much act like a clown like this all the time. I sort of flirt to make friends. I am consistently called the dreaded "S" word. (you know, "sweet") She says that I have her "attention."

This bring us to another phenomenon.

It seems like the poor women who are interested in me also like what I call: "The Myth Of Wetzelbill." They like that I write. That I am funny. That I give out lots of compliments, and that I usually share the same interests and passions that they do.

What they fail to realize is, well, that is my public persona.

In reality, I am a political/artistic/sports nerd who sits at home, reads, writes, and thinks about politics, sports and film and literature all the time.

Hardly that exciting of a guy. Plus, in reality, when women flirt back, I pretty much turn into a stuttering idiot.

This is my curse.

And ultimately is why "The Tao of Wetzelbill" fails. The Myth of Wetzelbill may be a good one, and in some ways, is viable.

Enter The Stuttering Idiot. Also closely related to The Blushing Tongue-Tied Idiot.

Then finally in the end, this leaves only the "Tragic Clown." :)

The world is one funny place, I'll tell you that. :)

1. Ah, Bill

Some women probably think that the Stuttering Idiot and Blushing Tongue-Tied Idiot are sweet as well. Just be yourself, man, it will all fall into place.

3. If you can anticipate circumstances,

then you can prepare for them.

In particular, be like Winston Churchill, and have well-rehearsed (literally rehearsed) "extemporaneous" remarks.
