Happy Valentine's Day!


You know, I think this particular holiday is a pretty crappy day.

Sure, it may be fun if you're happily in love, but honestly, if you're really in love and all that, why do you need a commercialized day to declare it? Isn't that the point of an anniversary? Isn't it more romantic when all that sweet, romantic stuff is done on a random day, just because?

People go and spend tons of money on presents for their sweetheart because they have to or it is what is expected. People are expected to do romantic things though they may also have to deal with work or school or whatever.

I don't know. Maybe it allows the guys who aren't normally very romantic or sweet the chance to show that side of themselves. Maybe it allows people to decorate everything with pink and red hearts. Maybe it's an excuse to get flowers and chocolate. Maybe it's an excuse to show off. Maybe people enjoy dishing out three or four bucks for a glittery, sometimes clever, card.

And then there are all the single people. For those who care, it's a sad day. For those who don't care, it's an annoying day. Hell, for those in a relationship it can be a sad and annoying day.

So that is my valentine's day rant.
No disrespect to anyone who lives for or loves this day.
Maybe my opinion will change one day. Who knows?
