BOBW Post. 5
I was doing some research about friendship blogs, and it turns out there is not a whole lot of friendship blogs. I did find something on Crowd sourcing Life about 10 must see friendship sites. So I'll check that list out next. For now I want to talk about Crowd Sourcing Life blog.
Right off the bat, I love the name of the blog. It combines business and relationships together. The author posts once a week in conversational, lecturing, and sometimes host like tone. I would say Sarah, the host, is an advanced expert opinions on the subjects she covers. Sarah is a researcher who studied 18 years of community and connections. She is a certified life coach as well so this is another piece of her blog that makes better content. And lastly this isn't the only blog she writes on. I just love how it the blog links up with the title so well as the author posts websites, podcasts, and books to better life. Overall, I like the content of the blog, I wish I had thought of it.
Her list posts seem to be the most successful ones at generating conversation. This probably because the lists look nice and are easy to read. They also link to other successful blogs which is cool because you get to see a another opinion. One of the links are to what was the most popular friendship blog, but it shutdown on June 1st of this year. That might be an interesting blog to check out as well.

BOBW 11 In the spirit of practicing what I preach, I decided to take a trip out this weekend. My memory is still a little fuzzy due to plenty of alcohol, but I will do my best to recollect the night. It started out just like any other night, the clock hit the 10 PM and that means it was time to suit up. I wanted to check out a particular spot called the 8 bit Beercade. This place is fun twist between a bar with plenty of interesting beer options and a video game arcade as the name suggests. The concept is very similar to what I want to do, so I thought it would be best to see how it works up close and not sober. I walked in and was greeted by the typical bouncer and the bar is the first thing upon walking through the doors. This is perfect, because the establishment has its priorities set. Sell drinks! I bought a drink and walked around taking in the atmosphere. The set up was great. It felt good to walk around and watch all the games being played. One thing I really liked abo...

A Bar's Universal Greeting

BOBW 12 When you see a pretty young lady across the room, the thing men are taught to do is offer her drink. You stumble up to her, mumble a greeting and then ask, “Can I buy you a drink?” She will typically respond with a yes and once she gets that drink BOOOOOOOOM she is gone like Sonic the hedgehog after spotting a chili dog cart. OK it does not always have to go like that but that's pretty typical from a male point of view. So why not spend that money on someone who will appreciate it? Buy that drink for a fellow man! He will be much more likely to assume you have no agenda and accept the gesture of friendship you are putting forth. I had this realization when I saw guy dancing at a bar and he spilled his drink and looked completely defeated. He gave a bit of a smile and said, “Oh well!” Then he headed to the bar for another drink. I thought to myself, “Would it not be nice if I replaced his drink, and struck up a conversation?” That would be out of the ordinary and it wo...
