Subliminal Message, by Michael R. Richichi

Hi. I'm Mike. I'd like to (sex) tell you about some weird psychological phenomenon (sleep with me) that has been on the media forefront (I'm your love slave) in the past few years. I'm talking about subliminal suggestion.

Subliminal suggestion (buy me a car) is a technique in which the subconscious is made aware of a concept by having it exposed (and a stereo) to them too fast or in a way that the conscious mind can't pick (you want me) up. Thus, the person so suggested (my room, 8 tonight) finds himself doing something that he ordinarily wouldn't do (bring clean sheets).

This technique was often seen being used by (I'll get the champagne) in movie theatres, where one frame of a film would have a message like "Buy the popcorn" (and the condoms). This one frame goes by so fast that the conscious mind can't possibly assimilate it (I have incredible stamina), but many believe that the subconscious mind picks it up and causes the mind (I really want you) to act on it.

Does it really (all night is not out of the question) work? Who knows... (and we can bring the stuffed animals and the Jell-O and the peanut butter and the nylon rope and watch "I Love Lucy" reruns and do things that they'll have to invent new names for when we're done and then we can sleep for 3 hours and do it all again) the jury is still out on that one.

Thanks for your time and patience.

Act V. THE TRUTH. (Love is hard work. And, sometimes, hard work can really hurt.) Love is a game. If they didn't tell you before, we will tell you now. Love is a game and if you play you either win, lose, or get ejected before the game is over. There are no ties. Maybe you'll lose and learn some great, meaningful answer from it all (like if it looks to good to be true, it is). It's easy to love something when you don't have to work at it. It's harder when it asks something of you. You just might be afraid to give. Give it anyway. The heart is the most resilient muscle. It is also the stupidest. So if this love you've found is good to you, hold it, keep it, shout about it. If it isn't, then maybe you should just become very good friends.
