My friend Natty is guest-blogging this week. More about the man in my introductory post.
The self-help industry alone is a testament to the common experience of struggling to change, but in May of this year I had a moment of clarity that motivated me to set out on a self-improvement experiment that defied the very phrase, ‘self-help’. Filled with an energizing optimism I sent an email to 10 of my closest friends, a supportive dream team.
My friend Kurt and I revisited the people watching survey from last year. Last month, he was visiting from Nashville and we were sitting outside the Heine Bros on Bardstown & Douglass. In addition to taking the Dancin’ Kid Vid, we took about 45 minutes to judge the people around us and agree if they were attractive or not.
Michael and I were at Centennial Park on Wednesday reading our books and enjoying the warm Spring sneak peek. We quickly turned to judging people’s (anyone appearing to be 18-60 years old) attractiveness. There is an approximate 1-mile jogging loop, so we grabbed the first available swinging bench (southeast side) and began our study.
The method was fairly simple: From about 3:30 to 6, we watched people walk, run, skate, or ride by. As each person passed, we’d agree on a judgment and tally the result. Any questions?
