A Penny For My Thoughts

And I Feel Fine Anytime She’s Around Me Now

By Paul Wein

When we are alone, we are ourselves. We do and say things that are private – things we don’t want anyone else to know or hear. But I have to say that with Julie – I can completely be myself whenever she is around me.

Sadly, I confess that I have dated over a dozen women. But I am speaking the absolute truth when I say that no woman I have ever been with has let me be myself more then Julie. She is truly a woman’s woman. She puts up with my unique and psychotic lifestyle, my abnormal behavior – and my insane humor. With her beautiful smile, she endures and hopefully enjoys the life I give her – and for that – I will forever love her for the rest of my life.

From the first day we decided to go from friends to more then that – I warned her. I told her that this life would not be normal. So far, she has met celebrities, endured me talking to many of my ex-girlfriends – and tolerated my pornography and sex jokes – all with a smile. I have to say that I have never been more comfortable with any woman in all my life as I have been with Julie.

From making stupid jokes, to watching videos that anyone else would consider childish – to burping – she is right there with that signature smile that made me fall in love with her in the first place. I know for a fact that most women would not put up with the lifestyle I lead – and I did warn Julie when the thought of us dating first surfaced – but she has taken it with stride – and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate that.

It is fair to say that Julie has not had as much experience in this world as I have – only because considering the fact the she is six years my junior. But despite that, she embraces anything I throw at her without question. She is fully aware of my insane lifestyle, and to my dismay – for some reason – she is ready and willing to embrace it.

I find myself very lucky that I grabbed Julie before anyone else did. She is a fantastic person who is willing to accept a man who lives a life that is not within the realm of normalcy. She goes above and beyond to make me happy and “keep up” with the insane life that I live. Very often I ask her if anyone of her ex-boyfriends have ever lived a life like this – to which she has said no…

…well now – I am glad that she has said yes.

As I have said before – here is to forever Julie!

“There’s something in the way she moves,
or looks my way, or calls my name,
that seems to leave this troubled world behind.
If I’m feeling down and blue,
or troubled by some foolish game,
she always seems to make me change my mind.
And I feel fine anytime she’s around me now.
And she’s around me now – almost all the time.
And if I’m well you can tell that she's been with me now,
and she’s been with me now,
quite a long, long time – and I feel fine.”
