well she did it!
Hey hey hey everyone!
so remember out friend Zoe? and remember her goal, mr kevin? well guess what! she read the last post (yes with the most epic prom request AND picture of the super slam dunk) and followed everything i told her to do. and guess what? IT WORKED! no lie. I mean i guess it helped that he liked her last year.
so they were talking at church today (valentines day) and throughout the whole time they were lightly flirting which is always nice, until he made a BIG move and put his hand on her leg. now some of you are saying "psht big whoop" FIRST OF ALL READERS, ALL 4 OF YOU, THIS IS A BIG FUCKIN DEAL. not ONLY were they in CHURCH (the big man is watching!), but also think about it! this leg situation could have gone either way!
Situation 1: he puts his hand on her leg. the awkwardness sets in and she moves her leg slightly away and he appologizes and turns bright red (for those of you who know him, which no one does except for zoe and i who is feeing me all these details, hes a pretty pale irish kid and is prone to bright redness so to speak.). the rest of the day is awkward, the plan is foiled.
Situation b!: hand is placed on the leg: she gets REALLY offended and slaps him. hard. back to the drawing board for kevin.
Situation Tres: Hand hits target. they both blush a little, he takes his hand away eventually, she doesnt say a negative word about it. smooth one mr. kevin. mission accomplished.
Luckily for both parties situation 3 played out accordingly. bold move kevin. good call. so then they finally got to have a conversation. not ONLY did she talk to him about himself (because what did we learn from my last post? men love to talk about themselves!) but he even asked about her now ex boyfriend as if he DIDNT knwo they broke up (because it WASNT all over facebook at all... no big deal... please charlie... carry on) so when she did break the news to kevin about the split between zoe and Ryan, as she gushed to me: "his expression was priceless!" she described it has him trying to feel bad but it was easy to tell how happy he was that they were no longer together.
BUT IT DIDNT END THERE. oh no ladies and gentlmen/the 4 people that read this fantastic blog, he was interested in what she had to say as well and also constantly asked her what she was doing after church while she replied that she was going to her friends house and maybe a party. So later asked her to get some ice cream with him (eventhough the frozen dairy was given out by the church). unfortuneatly for him but awesome/ sucks for her, she had to leave. yes she felt like an idiot but that was okay because she followed the big tip from alst week: LEAVE HIM WANTING MORE. im not even kidding. she left like cinder-fucking-ella. and she felt great. Zoe texted him later and they spoke for a little longer and guess what? they even made plans.
now most of you (meaning all 4 of you) are thinking "jesus christ charlie, who cares?!?!"
ITS IMPORTANT! NOW SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP.
Heres why:
She planted the seed. He now knows that shes single, free to make plans, and knows that she has no prom date. Although he didnt ask her on the spot obviously, i predict him asking her... unless hes too chicken. remember, she planted the seed, but she may have to ask him, you never know. and i sure as hell dont. so this encounter doesnt let her off the hook completely. He has 47 days until we grab this shit by the horns. yet i have faith in him though.
talk about a valentines day!

In the Still of the night (see youtube video)
So who else had a snow day today and another one tomorrow AND has off next week? I DO!
if that doesnt scream slam dunk i dont know what does.
So after having THE MOST intense prom conversation with my friend Zoe, and basically us deciding who we HAVE to take to prom i realzied how much of an asshole i have been with not posting anything for the past like 2 weeks. Bad CJ! Bad Bad Bad! okay now that ive gotten scolding myself out of the way lets talk about dates.
DATES.
probably one of the scarier topics to talk about.
heres why:
so its stereotypically known that the guy usually asks the girl to prom/ any dance but hey! this isnt texas and this isnt the 70s!... or the 50s! so unless youre dreaming/ waiting for THIS:
(which not going to lie, id KILL if a guy asked me this way)
so eyah unless youre waiting for that, guys find it attractive when a girl asks a guy... especially to prom.
thinbk about it:
1) confidence is hot. ive said it before ill say it again. confidence is hot. any girl that can break the thresh hold of typical teenage behavior and do what they want as opposed to whats been done, can cause an guy to go weak in the knees
2) guys are lazy. plain and simple. the less work and worrying they have to do, the better.
think about it.
so heres what zoe and i decided:
if noone asks us before april 1st, were going to ask. this way, it gives guys time to be masculine and do what they feel is right but if they dont do it by then, were taking matters into our own hands.
wanna go with a certain guy but want to be asked?
heres a tip i actually gave zoe tonight.
so zoe wants to go with this guy kevin. and hes a great guy. hes super sweet and they were both at prom last year with different dates and at the afterprom he was really hospitable towards her just because before that point shes never been to a really house party so to speak, and he has. zoe and kevin go to the same church and she knew that last year he liked her because of certain little birdies and other hints, etc. So the next time shes seeing him is on valentines day (woo hoo! perfect day... eventhough im really not a fan of valentines day its self) at church. so i told zoe to maybe ask him to hang out after break next week (hes visiting his sister in england.. shes studying abroad there) but not be like omg lets hnag out. this is how i told her the conversation would naturally go:
Zoe: hey kevin (* initiating conversation shows confidence, and studies have show that saying the name of the person youre directly addressing makes them feel warmer and more positive towards you*)
Kevin: oh hey zoe
Z: whats up?
k: nothing really, dont wanna be here haha, how about you
Z: ahah same. so what are your plans for break? (guys love to talk about themselves... so fuel the fire... ask a question about him)
k: well im visiting my sister in england. im leaving in like 2 days
z: that sounds so interesting (notice how she didnt say cool.. interesting sounds more, well, interesting!) you must be pshyced!
K: yeah im so stoked to go
z: well id love to hear all about it when you get back (hinting at hanging out after he returns so he can talk more about himself. brilliant!)
k: yeah sure, that soudns great actually (ok lets be real here: this kid is SO nice. and im nto just saying that from this conversation... he really is. how could anyone with a beating heart reject an invitation to hang out? it works in her favor because he liked her last year and unless the person you like did something absolutely repulsive, theres no way you can just stop completely have feelings for said person)
z: great. well, i have to go but it was great seeing you, have fun in england! i cant wait to hear all about it ( leave him wanting more. by saying that you have to go first, does that because maybe he didnt want to end the conversation right then and there. plus if he ended it first, it makes you feel like the idiot... and noone wants that. also wishing him well is just polite and of course saying that you cant wait to hear about it will remind him of you future plans. its brilliant)
so use this as a template of some sort. mess with it how ever you want. if he says hes not doing anything over break, initiate plans by saying "well if you wanna get together over break ill be around too!" .. or someting like that. be creative! i cant think of every scenario! im only human!
so its 2 am ladies and gentlemen (?). i wish you goodnight and good luck on your date quest. dont lose hope!
T MINUS 49 days till zoe and I take the bull by the horns.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay hey everyone, soi i just got back from the gym and im feeling FAN FREAKIN TASTIC.
few reasons:
1. all the endorphins jsut hit me at the same time
2. my friend vicky is making me this sick necklace with a piece of coral on it! im so fucking stoked. and shes doing it for free!
3.i just got invitied to the first afterprom via facebook
4. im talking with my brother about visiting him in 3 weeks at college with jaxson because jaxson's best friend is a freshman at the same school.
and thats where the topic of this post comes into play
GOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLS!
goals.
theyre awesome. heres why:
they keep you on track. and now youre prob going, well DUH ceej, but i mean really sticking to your goals keep you on track. like yeah prom is a long term goal, visiting my brother in less than a month should not only jump start me to this prom goal but it challenges me to excell in time to visit my brother. why? well ill tell you! college guys. need i say more?
like when i walk into my brothers house and meet his house mates i want them to think not "shes hot because of her looks" but, shes hot because of her confidence.
its almost common sense that a guy would rather go for a girl with confidence and intelligence than a physically attractive girl. confidence is hot.
so keep ya goals up. they do more for you than yah think
have a wonderful day!

bagel all the way. foodie part I
Okay. so being from New York, especially the tri state area near the city, i have a love for something that no other human being that lives outside of this area could ever love. New York dough. and no, im talking cash money, im talking real dough. bagels. BAM. theyre incfredible here. my personal fave is an everything bagel topped wth cream cheese, lox, capers, lemon, red onion and sometimes a few slices of cucumbers.
and this is where it gets tough.
The Ugly Truth:
a good delious tangy new york bagel has the same bread intake of 4-6 slices of white bread. thats 80 grams of carbs. so whats my solution? well every sunday morning, i wake up, regardless of a wild night before, i wake up, go to the gym, work out with my father for 45 minutes and then we pick up bagels to bring home for breakfast. beause i dont wanna cancel out the progress i made that day, before i throw that fantastic freshmade everything bagel in the toaster, i cut it inhalf and pull out the insides of the bagel. why? because all the flavor is in the "skin". the middle is just unwanted bread.
the amount of omega 3's are through the roof (1384 mg/ can!), when you use this product, you use the whole can (including the juice) and use little to no mayo (calorie savor!!!!!!) because its just that good without mayo. plus it rocks in a tunamelt on whole wheat bread with swiss cheese on the george foreman. The tuna is cvaught using on line/fisherman so its not those crazy big nets that the bigger companies use, all the boats are american (USA! ALL THE WAY!). all in all the product is much better. Yes, it is a little more expenisve but when you squeeze out the juice from the bumble bee can, youre wasting money. no money is wasted in Wild Planet. The quality and long term benefits of the tuna is well worth its price.

not in a creamcheese, capers, lemon, lox red onion and sometimes cucumber mood?
try tunafish or lobster salad! and not that bumblebee crap. yeah its cheap, its just really unhealthy. its loaded with mercury and theres practically no omega 3 in it. plus when you squeeze out the juice to begin your culinary adventures with this sawdust, youre squeezing out 30% of what you bought.
Now check out this pretty penny.
