Ode to my girlfriend

Guys don’t like to talk about how much they love their girlfriends to other guys. It’s like showing how pussy whipped you are. Well, I’m about to change that.

I have the best girlfriend ever. There are a hundred million reasons why I love her. First and foremost, she puts up with my ass, which makes her stronger than Hercules.

The other reasons… why don’t I break them down into a top ten list? Everyone loves top ten lists, just ask Dave Letterman’s mom. Here they are, in no particular order.

10- Patience- Mentioned in the opening, she’s like the Mother Theresa of my world. I’m such a pain in the ass all the time, and she takes everything in stride. When I’m pissed off that I’m stuck in traffic, she calms me down.

9- Smarts- She’s the smartest woman that I know. She’s doing great in school, just about to graduate. She had this test that she had to study for that was unreal; she had to basically memorize a bunch of extremely tough passages, who wrote them and what impact they had. I worked with her on them and I was convinced it was impossible to know this crap. She got an A on her test. Plus she’s street smart. Not many girls I know have street smarts unfortunately.

8- Beautiful- Everything about her is beautiful. I love her green eyes, the way they rest in on her face. I love her cheek bones. I love her little nose. I love her chin. I love her ears… I could go on and on…

7- Willing to try new things- She’s always getting into things that I like; football, fantasy sports, movies, music, djaying etc. She’s adventurous and will jump at the chance to do something out of the ordinary.

6- Fun loving- She’s always laughing, smiling and pleased with the world. She makes even the most mundane tasks fun and enjoyable. Her attitude is infectious, she makes you want to smile back at her.

5- Caring- She truly cares about me. She almost motherly in a way, when I hurt, she hurts. She’s worried about me when I’m down. But besides my own needs; she cares society, the helpless people and the planet as a whole.

4- Strong- My girl could beat up your girl. She’s tough. She won’t back down from a fight. Plus, she’s mentally tough, things don’t bother her much. She’s also strong muscle wise for a girl.

3- Stubborn- She’s stubborn in a good way. When she has her mind set on something, there’s nothing that can get in her way. She’s committed to her values and ideals. Plus, if she wants me to do something, I have to do it or I’ll never hear the end of it, but in a good way.

2- Leader- She’s the leader of the pack. At her old job, she was the boss. In her friends, everyone waits for her to do something or set something up because she’s expected to. In every other situation, people flock to her for guidance because she has a cool head and knows how to delegate authority.

1-Big heart- She’s a bleeding heart. She reaches out to the sick and lonely. She cares about homeless people (which I don’t have the capacity to do). She cares about me (I’m like sick lonely and homeless all at the same time.)

These are just ten of the billions of things about my girl that make her the most special lady I’ve met. Does that make me p whipped? Yes, but I don’t care. I love her that much.
