My Love Why

 My Love For You Is Real

Sometimes at night,

When I look to the sky,

I start thinking of you,

And then ask myself "why?"

"Why do I love you?"

I think and smile,

Because I know,

The list could run on for mile.

The whisper of your voice,

The warmth of your touch,

So many little things,

Make me love you so much.

The way you support me,

Even my silly notions,

The way that you care,

And show such devotion.

The way that your kiss,

Fills me with desire,

And how you hold me,

With the warmth of a fire.

The way your eyes shine,

When you look at me,

Lost with you forever,

Is where i want to be.

The way that I feel,

When you are by my side,

A sense of completion,

And overflowing pride.

The dreams that I dream,

That all involve you,

The possibilities that I see,

The things that we can do.

How you finish the puzzle,

That lies inside my heart,

How deep in my soul,

You are a very important part.

I could go on for days,

Telling of what I feel,

But all you really must know is...

My love for you is real.

Rules for Success

1.       Never get more than nine hours of sleep, or less than three. I believe in adequate rest, but too much sleep is wasting time that could be spent on anything from self-edification to world domination.

2.       It’s better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.

3.       Write it down. Your memory is shit.

4.       Get your clothes tailored. A $200 suit that fits well looks better than a $500 suit that doesn't.

5.       Show love. Never, ever, ever hold back from giving a compliment, as long as it's sincere. There’s never a bad time to say something nice. Get in the habit of doing this. People will love you for it.

6.       Give credit. Don’t steal other people’s shit. If you got an idea from someone else, drop their name and throw them a link. Do this even if it’s not proprietary.

7.       On cologne: Less is more, if you buy the good stuff. Have a scent for day and night.

8.       Nobody gives a shit about your SAT score. Or, really, any other accomplishment older than two years. If you feel the need to work this into conversation, you need to become more interesting.

9.       You're allowed to say no to shit you don't like. I don’t generally believe in the idea of “obligation.” While there are things you “probably should” do, there is almost nothing you “need” to do. If I don’t like something, I will very rarely agree to do it. I have said “no” to everything you can imagine.

10.   For example, I no longer attend holidays with my extended family; I just don’t enjoy it (too much fighting), so I don’t go. Does my family complain? Sure. Do they try to make me feel guilty? Absolutely. Do I cave in? F*ck no.

11.   Do something you hate. Do it every day for 30 days. Then never do it again. Most of the time, when you “hate” something, it’s because you’re not good at it. A lot of guys think they hate dancing, for example, but what they really hate is the way being bad at it makes them feel. So spend 30 days getting proficient at an activity you hate; if at the end of that period you still hate it, never do it again.

12.   "Don't criticize an idea unless you're willing to provide an alternative."  If you don't have a better suggestion, shut the f*ck up. I find this is especially useful for trying to pick a restaurant.

13.   Never play cards with a guy who has a city in his nickname. Miami John, the Cincinnati Kid, Texas Dolly -- all dudes better to avoid.

14.   Don't judge what people do in the bedroom. As long as it's consensual and not with underage kids, make the effort to simply not care where they put their junk or in what way they do it. Chances are, their porn-browsing history is no more f*cked up than yours.

15.   Try not to have enemies. But if someone insists on making themselves one, do your worst.

16.   “If you go home with someone and they don’t have books, don’t f*ck them.” –John Waters.

17.   At least once in your life, get absolutely shredded.

18.   If a girl hasn't seen Star Wars, don't bother dating her.

A special message

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colors seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
