What's inside that box called Life?

Answer: It's what you make out of it.

I've been listening to the Blueprint from Real Social Dynamics(RSD) and I say that it's brilliant. Apart from the common misconception that it's pick-up material and it's complete common sense, I would strongly recommend the Blueprint to everyone who feels that he lacks purpose, there is no meaning in Life or the other symptoms of having a uprooted self. Notice I don't recommend it to everyone, because some people don't feel that certain emptiness gnawing at them, and others think it's common sense. I don't trample on their beliefs and go all-egoistical, screaming about how they sleepwalk through life and how their realities are weak. It's good to be open-minded, and not everyone is the same. By the way, common sense isn't that common at all.

So I went to hang out with KJ around the void deck under his apartment. With the usual crap-talking about random topics that come to our minds, mostly revolving about games, girls and any other thing that interests guys. Then all of a sudden, this woman walks by, trips and almost falls flat on her face. She had a Husky along with her. I told her to be more careful and asked if I can touch the dog. This sparked into a long conversation.

She's in her 60's and she was born in Malaysia. It started from banal topics like where are we studying and it slowly progressed towards life and death. She shared her experiences in life and her inner demons, such as depression spirals and suicidal thoughts. In many ways, I thought she was like me. A nihilist of sorts and a easygoing person.

It's quite funny how a hang-out night can twist itself into a nice conversation with a complete stranger. All you need is a starter and it hits off so quickly. Sure, you need some balls and a sense of a rooted reality (which can be achieved rather easily), but having the confidence, the ability to open someone up and communicate feels like having a progressive knife to cut open the A.T. field. I would think pick-up routines is the knife, and natural game would be the neutralizing the opposite field with a stronger one.

If you don't get the references, go watch Neon Genesis Evangelion. It's shitfucking awesome, without the pointless deep cryptic fillers at the end.
