I’m Kinda Busy Right Now…

The other night I went out with Age to help him pick up girls. I said to my housemates we went out and had great success! My housemate said “So he picked up then?” I said “Not exactly.”

There’s a philosophy from Kyodu, zen archery. In western archery, success is measured quantitatively. Either you hit the target, or you don’t. In Kyodu, it’s measured qualitatively. The success is measured by the flight of the arrow, and the stroke you make to get the arrow into the air. You can never control the arrow once it leaves your hands, however, it’s always within your control to take the right action while it is within them.

“Let’s go up Swanston Street and say hi to some girls before we go into the club… It helps me get warmed up and unstifled.”

“Okay,” I said.

Walking up the street, there was a hippie holding a sign, and there were a bunch of people hanging around. At first I thought it was another Socialist rallly. Then I noticed the sign said “If you walk into this area you may be filmed.” They were filming a commercial, trying to give cops a good image.

Standing in the middle of the footpath were three police, with their backs to the camera.

“Welcome to Hollywood,” I said.

We kept walking. Standing on the other side of Flinders Lane were three attractive glam girls, apparently waiting to cross the road. “Talk to these girls,” I said. We walked across the alley and they were still waiting to cross.

Age is half-Chinese, but always lived in Australia. He said in his best racist stereotype Chinese accent: “Excusa me. You very beautiful woman. In my country China, you very beaut-ee-full. Please will you make the babies witha me.”

The girls cracked up. “No thank you hee hee hee.”

“You very beaut-ee-full woman. You make little Age very happy.”

They kept laughing. “Thank you, but I’m kinda busy right now. We’re filming a commercial.”

Then some stage manager or whatever you call it came over and said “Hey, you guys, get out of here!” He didn’t find it very funny. I did. They should have put up a sign saying “please don’t touch the animals” or something, like at the zoo. Come on, you put three gorgeous girls on the street and expect us not to talk to them? Heh heh heh.

I high-fived Age. “Man, that was awesome.” Age set his goal to talk to four women that night. He exceeded his goal – the most girls he’d cold-approached in 6 months or so. Great success!
