Attractive Tales from Grand Cities, a Social Memoir

So the other morning, this wonderful girl, I've been seeing, starting grilling me, detective style. She asked me questions about my personal history, family relationships and plans for the future. It was her attempt at a deep, authentic, revealing conversation. In the face of this onslaught, I tried my best to answer her questions honestly. In regards to my personal future plans, I did not possess all the "Magic 8 ball" answers to come up with. I feel most people choose to keep their conversations in the topical mode. Are you a topical mode conversationalist? Or, are you like the aforementioned wonderful girl, and seek deeper knowledge, and personal life insights? Back in my university days, I had a super intelligent, Plan II or Dean's List level brainy friend whom gave me worthwhile advice. He strongly stated, he had been dating his current girlfriend with mutual contentedness for 2 to 3 years. He professed that during their time together, they had NEVER enga...

Have you ever wanted, or felt you were the ALPHA male or female of a particular group, city, or profession? Would you enjoy or loathe this Alpha name tag and requirement? Do you seek to be the BEST? Or do you settle for the mundane and what is comfortable? Personally, I'd love to be the ALPHA male anytime. Often, I do feel worthy of ALPHA male status, when I am out and about in society. Why is this? Well I am 6'1 in physical height and am taller than most humans. A girl-friend, just got back from the continent of Asia. She is roughly 5'7 inches in height, and said the majority of Asian men, were diminutive in size. Why else do you feel ALPHA-esque George Vance? Well, I am physically prettier and better looking than 92% to 94% percent of America . After having inhabited this earthly planet, for 3 decades, and gazing at the fellow humanity that also resides here, I can comfortably say I am physically in the top 10 to 5 percent of attractiveness in this world. The Un...

When is it time to Retire? When is it proper to cease a course of action, and change paths? Is there ever an appropriate time to simply give up? In general people are hard working, and also reluctantly stuck in their own individual ways. People with bad habits, need help quitting and improving their life. For example, when does a professional athlete know in his own body, it is time to retire and quit. This year, Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers decided to retire from the NBA at the age of 37. I'm 34. Did he decide to retire because his contract was expiring, or did he feel deep down on the inside, that his "Hall of Fame" body had cried uncle? My humble guess, is that Kobe felt physically within, that his remarkable, fantastic, trophy hoisting basketball journey was down to it's last worthwhile lap. In another example, the legendary, model marrying star quarterback of the New England Patriots, won another tough playoff game today. Tom Brady seems to have ...

This will be a collection of life items that have occurred to yours truly, your leader and author during the course of my personal lifetime. Obviously, like the entirety of the "Sample Spectrum" private, non celebrity names will be omitted. In honor of the recently deceased musical legend, and artistic performer David Bowie, "I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring." To me, this quote is a suggestion to live your own life care free, without worry of outside judgement. These all individually begin with the phrase... ONE TIME..... I personally watched two lesbians from Oregon make intimate love to each other in my bedroom, towards the tail end of a late-night I was asked to be an in store male fashion model for the flagship Abercrombie and Fitch store in Downtown Manhattan. I scored 4 lacrosse goals during one high school game. ( What does the sporting world call a hat trick plus one?) I literally partied al...

"Hey George, I'm moving to Los Angeles, want to take over the lease at our Treehouse, in a private drive, in the Pemberton neighborhood?" This ballpark quote is how the conversation started, when my college ex-lacrosse club teammate and former dorm friend called me one afternoon. At the time, I was a ripe 23 years old, and a fresh university graduate. I had just begun my working career in Austin, Texas and Residential Real Estate. The Pemberton home was perhaps the coolest, most private, unique, party-filled, secluded estate, prime location and storied place, I will have ever continually slept. In this case, actual pictures would help immensely, but since neither myself nor my former roommates have called it home for over 10 years, we don't have the pictures to prove it. Plus this storied, fond structure was entirely demolished decades ago. The Boxy, rectangular, 2 story home was a special one. The home was technicall...

Do we as people truly know how to LISTEN with zero bias? Or, are you a soul whom sometimes, like me tends to lean more towards narcissistic listening. I may be making up a new term, but I would describe narcissistic hearing, as a chosen developed individual practice. People with preferential selfish hearing purposely choose to only accept words and outcomes they desire. Thus, they have personally skewed, whacked hearing practices. People in denial often tend to have narcissistic hearing. For example a habitual drug user, pill popper, alcoholic, or work monster may be listening and living in denial. An overweight person, whom thinks they are not fat, despite the scale's proof. To people living with these problems, they choose to block out the caring, helpful guidance of others, in the dreamy hope of seeking the answers their insides wish to believe . For example, when the dentist tells you, after the X-rays develop, you may need to have crowns be inserted and placed over ...
