Shoulda gone to China. They give away babies like free iPods. They put them in guns and shoot them out at sporting events.
When you're in a competitive environment, always give out the impression that you don't care. It makes people want you more. If you act desperate, it's over. I think a passive attitude is helpful. It comes naturally because I'm lazy.
