Wow, thanks for all the great comments, folks! I really appreciate it!

@Diggy: Thanks! I’ve been trying to approach the lifestyle design thing a bit differently, so I’m glad that comes through!

@Brian: Only with lesbians. And I lose a lot of shirts. I should just print my business card information on the sleeve…save some money on business cards.

@Kelly: I got a weird look from the bouncers, but after I was introduced we were cool.

@Amber: Thanks so much! Really glad you liked it and got something out of it

@GotPassport: Thanks! I feel like it’s something everyone can apply, so hopefully more people will!

@Cody: Yeah, it’s still an issue for me sometimes, but these days when I realize I’m holding back I’ll almost always say ‘okay, why not!’ on principle alone.

@Rasheed: Thank you sir!

@Ryan: Haha, maybe there IS something about NYC? Glad to hear that other people are benefiting from this kind of response, as well!

@Monica: Thanks so much for reading and the kind words, Monica

@Amber: Based on your blog and adventures, I’d wager you don’t have much of a choice but to embrace the unexpected! Glad to hear it!

@claire7676: I’ve actually had someone tell me this before. I may have to download it from iTunes this weekend and check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!

You’re an amazing writer and story teller. Love the line of thinking – it’s all about going with the flow. Sounded like a great time.

Go see “Yes Man” with Jim Carrey. Cute, fun movie with this same exact sentiment. Definitely worth the rental fee.

Hhaha…this makes me laugh because I tend to be the same way. I like plans, but the best feeling in the world is to just roll with the punches. Learn to be patient and take it as it comes. Great story and style!

I really don’t have anything to add.

This is just a really great story, and I thought you should know.

I third your lesbian savior and Rasheed…

Frickin Awesome!

I’ve had a very similar experience with embracing the unplanned (see: awesome), and yet most of the time I try to avoid it.

Maybe it’s NYC too. Agreeing to get off the subway one stop later with a girl, agreeing to stop in a bar (at like 2am mind you) to have a few drinks, et al ended up leading to one of the most fun nights and satisfying ‘friendships’ I’ve encountered in the last few years.

Thanks for sharing Colin!

Dude, this is a great message! I always make a lot of plans and can sometimes get upset when things do go according to plan. But I also love when something unexpected happens and need to learn to embrace that more. Thanks for the cool story.
