Simple Meditations for Happiness

I believe in the power of the mind to transport a person from their present stressful circumstances and find enjoyment in their own imagination, despite their surroundings. Too many adults think that using one's imagination is "immature" or "kid stuff," but they couldn't be more wrong. To deny that part of ourselves, is to deny a source of peace, fun, and strength in hard times. So I wanted to point out an example of how a person can use willful imagination to rise up out of their circumstances momentarily, and my willful use of such a technique in dealing with my super-cutie girlfriend.

A couple days ago, I was home while my gf was at work, and she texted me to say how crappy the day was, how tired she was, how unappealing all the people in her break room were, etc. So when she was complaining about how her feet hurt from walking all day at work, I told her that if I was there she could wear roller skates while I pulled her around by a little string. Now I just happen to know that my girlfriend loves the idea of herself on roller skates, because that is a cute thing for pretty little girls to do. Then for me to pull her around by a little string evokes a childlike play quality in the scenario, and now she's imagining how funny it would be to skate slowly while holding on to a little string and how much she'd be smiling and trying to keep her balance. It's like a cartoon, and now I've implanted that cartoon in her mind with her as the main character.

In response to this, she perked right up, and told me that if she was going to be on roller skates, then of course she would have to equip herself with knee-high tube socks and short shorts as well. To which I responded that she was in luck because it just so happened to be Roller Skate and Tube Sock Day, and to celebrate it, they just so happened to be giving away free ice cream sundaes to every cute little girlie who shows up in hot pants. Of course she was quickly and thoroughly cheered up by this short conversation. It takes a girl who is very reactive to cute ideas, can take herself less than seriously, and have a certain child-like charm herself to appreciate this line of conversation, but lucky me, I have just the right girl.

The way I talk to my girlfriend shows her that not only do I know how to make her laugh and feel special, but that I love her and subtly suggest her natural sexiness as well. Now when she might be feeling down again sometime, she will have this image I've implanted in her mind, and all I have to do is remind her of it and she is quickly in a good mood again. In a way this is just a product of my own playfulness and I'm lucky to have met someone who is so responsive to it. However, believe me when I say that this is also a good meditation technique. During a moment of boredom and physical discomfort, I willfully implanted images in her mind of a cute, comical, and complimentary version of herself.

And this is how I do what I do...

Stay tuned, more to come!

The art of the cute double entendre!

I walked into the living room the other day and saw my lady sitting on the couch.

"I love you honey," I said.

"I love you too," she said.

"You know babe," I said, "you're my little chocolate easter bunny. But you're too pretty to eat up. So I keep you around to look at and every now and then I give you a lick to remind me of how sweet you are."

See that? Do you recognize the art in that? I've taken an intangible quality, her "sweetness," and incorporated it into a metaphor in which this intangible quality is given a tangible and physical manifestation, "chocolate." Then I take what could be construed as a lewd act, "to lick someone," and incorporated it as a sweet and child-like gesture in the extended metaphor. However, the double entendre can't be missed. Telling her that she is a piece of candy too pretty to eat, but sweet enough to lick, ought to make her blush. My girl did. Also, I could have made it any piece of candy, but I chose what is traditionally portrayed as a soft bunny, holding a basket, and wearing a bow. I knew that she would find this to be especially cute. So there you have it. Three qualities of a great "adorable boyfriend" turn of phrase are all present here: cuteness, kindness, and sexual double entendre. I'll have more for you soon...

Introduction

Hi everyone! Have you ever met a girl that appreciated all things cute? An intellectual girl that demands her boyfriend to be well-spoken, lest she treat you like a moron? Ever feel hollow inside just saying "I love you" all the time? Ever wanted to have something to say to a girl that you can guarantee she's never heard before? Well, that's what this blog is all about. I am a teacher, a writer, a poet, and have been in a committed relationship for almost 7 years. My girlfriend is adorable, loves all things cute, and is a demanding grammar-Nazi. Suffice it to say that we get along perfectly. She is my baby princess and I am her king. I have a filthy mind and a silver tongue, now let me share some of my best lines with you.

I'll post them as they come (I wish I'd been keeping notes all these years, because there have been a lot of good ones.) Don't worry though, there's plenty more where that came from. When I need to cheer up, entertain, or seduce my baby, I know just what to say!
