What will become of Metro North Mall? Such an empty space. I'm sure Macy's will soon move somewhere else. Then the place I have many childhood memories in will become a giant monument of empty space.
Many malls around the country are suffering the same fate. Hopefully we'll be searching out the most creative alternatives to abandonment and massive landfilling of these former monuments to chain-store consumerism. I'm no city planner, but it seems that the future of shopping malls can be hopeful and creative:

I'm wondering if anyone has taken this test and how difficult it is? If you have, let me know.

With all the know-it-all’s in the world, its any wonder that magic and fascination still exists. Stop for a moment. Look around you.
Did you do it? Probably
not. This is an exercise. Look around you. Now, did you do it? "Yes." You are saying to yourself,
"I did it. Now what?"
Well, do it again. Only this time, don't act like a know-it-all that’s seen it
all before. Practice curiosity. Look around you as if for the very first
time. With a brand new pair of eyes. It would be preferable if you could do
this with a sense of childlike wonder. Just try it.
What about people? Do you want to meet new people? For the sake of
this article Mr. or Ms. Smarty Pants I'm going to assume you said Yes and move
forward. These people. You think you know them, huh? You label
them, stereotype them, in a blink of an eye you know whether they are worth
talking to or not? Wow! You're good. You know all that? Really? Let’s
try this again. Look around you (in a public space). Except there's
just one thing! Don't judge them. Just be curious. Ask questions to
yourself about them. Anything. Free flow and don't stop to think about what you
are curious about. Let yourself go.
Now, pick someone you would like to talk to (preferably of the opposite sex).
Why the opposite sex? Because you inherently have less in common with someone
of the opposite sex. If you find them attractive, even better. (Yes, I'm
trying to help you "pick someone up"). Make sure there is something
you are curious to know about them. There is only one rule I'm gonna
place on this, I don't want you to engage them seeking a logical response; I
want you to engage them seeking their emotional response. Why? Because
emotions are deeper than logic. If you ask them when did they arrive?
They can simply give you a time and a place. That’s boring. I know,
it’s actually harder to be curious about someone or some things on an emotional
level; it take more effort (especially for us guys). That’s why this is
an 'exercise'.
See someone, and for instance, you might ask them: "Excuse me, I noticed
you have kind of a motif going with your outfit, I think it looks fantastic by
the way, how does it make you feel?"
Notice I also threw a compliment in there. You want to engage and
stimulate their emotions, they don't all have to be positive, just a full range
of emotions is more or less what we are seeking. You also want to avoid
questions that can be answered with a yes or no response. Oh, and talk about their favorite subject: Themselves.
I could go on and on about this, but I don't want to go too advanced on this
topic right now. I also don't want you to go away from this thinking this is
just some abstract article with a flaky exercise to do once then forget about
it. So below I'm going to give a few more examples.
Examples: If she's wearing pink. Ask; "Why pink?
Is it a comfort color? How does it make you feel?"
"Can you believe how hot it is out here? You look like it’s not even
affecting you?"
"Can I get your opinion on something..?"
"Is it just me or is 'Love in the air' today?"
-----
Ok. Girls can engage guys on an emotional level as well. But for guys you want
to make it more about their primal or adrenaline based emotions.
"Wow. You look pumped up. Did you just win the lottery? What’s going
on?"
"I noticed you do such and such. It looks cool. What do you like
about it?"
----
Ok that’s all for now. One last thing. Have fun doing it! That’s an
order.

A poem: Thy Christ apparent
119 views Thy Christ apparent Are you like me? Don't you hate it when people ask: "Are you like me?" Well if you were, then I wouldn't stick a question mark at the end would I? Anyways, keeping this short but very sweet. I wanted to come up with a # 1 rule for this and other social networking sites. Please don't say: "Thanks for the Add". - Its boring, lame and the cardinal sin: Completely uncreative. - read more
