Everybody agrees that you only have one chance for a good first impression. Hence the name. FIRST.!
Meeting the family of my girlfriend for the first time. Time to be smart, prepared, focused. Plan ahead. Once again; Be smart. Use the lessons from previous experiences. Follow the rules.
So here I go for that opportunity.
Already lover her, she does love me too but (unfortunately) you have to make sure everybody likes you.
Especially in the beginning. Until they know you and your intentions. Because people judge way too quick these days and if it is not positive it fucks everything up.
So it is time to play the game.
Rule Number One: Do not be an asshole. Be nice. Be patient. Scale people up. Are they sarcastic? Jokers? Serious? Do not rush but be nice.
Rule Number Two: Be Cautious. Keep an eye on your girlfriend when engaging with certain adults. Is she relax? Stressed? Jumpy? So you can manage your communication with that person better.
Rule Number Three: Listen more, talk less. Best way to figure out about the person you have just met. What subject they are passionate about? How much knowledge they have? What kinda word they are using? Are they positive? Negative? Aggressive? Happy? So you can pick little tips and READ MORE..

Unwanted fight
He knows what he wants
People don't
Hard to explain
but
He tries, barely..
Gives up sometimes
Pick himself up
When he gets weak
Knowing the borders
of
His limits won't help
If they refuse
to see
Unwanted fight
not willing to win
or lose
with humans
always believe they have
right to choose
Screaming to light
Whispering in dark
Scared of them
being black or white
Giving up the once again
Knowing to start
All over again..

Good Old London Bendy Buses
A long time ago they decide to introduce so-called Bendy Buses to London. What a big mistake that was.
First of all, they were not suitable for London's narrow roads but most importantly nobody was paying a fare.
Hop in Hop out.
When the authorities realise the non-paying issue, they recruited 150 people to catch people like us. They give them a fancy name. Revenue Protection Officers.
RPO's mean business.
They tried every trick in the book.
Tried to surprise people, catch them red-handed.
They hide behind bus stops, jump on a bus just before the doors close.
The trick was to keep an eye on the next stop.
When you see the Revenue Protection Officers you jump off the bus before they get in. Once they were in you pray that bus gets to next stop before they got to you.
Sometimes people used to get caught before they got to you. That was a mixed feeling though. You are happy being safe but feel for the fellow fee dodger.
Let's say you managed to get away for some time but your luck turned and got caught.
The first thought is "Even if I get fined, I am still in profit." Total unpaid fees £118, fine £60. right?
Not really.!
You should never give up.
So you give them some made up name, address, get your ticket, listen their -be a good citizen, pay your dues- advice and move on.
The secret in this tactic was to look embarrassed, feel bad and acted like you learn your lesson. If you behave cooky etc they insisted on seeing your ID, asking ridiculous questions and sometimes get the police involved.
You made them feel like winners. They got you. Wow. Great job mate. So you can safely move away and let them chase Mr Gregor Samsa.
This one time I and my mate decided to jump on a bus. He had a pass however I told him that I had no bus pass.
He dismissed my point and said " don't be a pussy"
Guess what happened next. I got caught.
So I am in the middle of the bus with my mate getting questioned, all pissed off decided to teach a lesson to my friend and gave his name and address to the officer.
Obviously, he didn't say anything but I could see him getting red and angry. I was feeling good myself at the time.
When he finished with me, the officer turned to my friend and asked for the pass. My smartass mate said that he didn't have a pass and gave my name/address for the fine. Asshole..!
Then one day Boris Johnson got rid off all bendy buses and brought fancy but troubled new routemasters.

London Poem
They all come to London
Big dreams,
Soon abandon
Center of the world
One language turns hundred
Getting hurled
Memories Plundered
City is busy
Ignores you
You feel dizzy
Have no Clue
Not easy to get here
Harder to leave
When you realise
It's too late
There is nothing to achieve
Love and hate
You are in between
Knowing its too late
To get clean
London Knows you are here
Sad and tired
Only sees but cant here
You think you are fired
No more inspired
Done, Leaving no more,
The city is the pimp
and
You are just a whore..

How to share your feelings?
Sharing your feeling is not easy. Feelings are very but very personal. Actually, sometimes it is harder to express your emotional thoughts to people very close to you.
I believe one of the main reasons for that is not to hurt people. Partners, parents, siblings, best friends sometimes take it seriously and get offended, hurt etc.
Remember most of the time people treat the closest bad. Go hard. Heavy. Cause they know you can take it or understand. They know that you will forgive them no matter what.
Looking at the situation on your side. Read More..
