So as I'm sure all of you know today is February 14th, which means that is Valentine's Day. You know the one day a year that we are supposed to show the people that we care about we love them, as opposed to the other 364 or in a leap year 365 days of the year. And just how are we supposed to show them that we care about and love them, by saying it or doing something nice for them. NO, we need to buy them flowers, candy, get them a card, a teddy bear, and take them some place nice for dinner. Have you ever heard more bull in your life. What makes February 14th, so special. (And no I dont want you to Wiki and post it)
I know its named after St. Valentine, but there were a bunch of them and the first few had NOTHING to do with love and or romance. Which is disturbing and wrong if you ask me. Hey these guys have the samne name as Valentine so let's honor them, I dont care if they beat deaf orphans with sacks of raped puppies, then sodomized them they have the same name so it counts.
And how in the hell does a drunken gay midget that likes to dress up in diapers and a pair of Victoria Secret's Wings and shoots arrows at people to make them fall in love with each other, get to be the mascot of the holiday. is it because all major holidays in the country need a mascot and we just go in order and increase the size. I mean New Years is a baby, Valentines Day is a midget, St Patrick's Day is a Leprachaun, Easter is a bunny (which doesnt make sense with the Eggs, but I can and will explain closer to Easter), Fourth of July is Uncle Sam, my birthday is Me, Halloween is the Great Pumpkin, Thanksgiving is the Goobley Gooker, and Christams is Santa.
This is just blant commericalism and shows what a sorry state we are in as nation morally. And of course it works, guys who probably couldnt be bothered any other time of the year will do something nice for their wives, girlfriends, fiancees, whatever today, and brag about to their friends, and think they will have enough good husband, boyfriend, fiancee points to last. And will think I can forget our anniversary and her birthday, because I did this on Valentines Day. What a bunch of morons.
I know there are probably some of you out thinking, hes just bitter, because he doesnt have anyone and he had his heart broken, so hes ranting about Valentines Day to rant and make himself feel better. IF you are thinking that **** YOU. I have always hated this day, sure in school it was cool cause you got to have a party and didnt have to work and goot cookies or cake in the afternoon. But other than the forced parties in Elementary School or when I was subbing on the day, I have never once celebrated Valentine's Day. The last two years I did Pookie day.
The reason for not celebrating this Corporate, Manufactured holidays, that some chick in England started selling cards to make money for (read wiki bastards) is that I dont believe if you love or care about someone deeply, you shouldnt just wait to Valentine's Day or a day that has meaning to the two of you or if you fucked up and had a fight and need to say you're a douche, ass, or ****. Now with Lady Voldermort or the Moddy ****, Cheating ****, I got her things just because I wanted to, sent her a card every week saying how much she meant to me and **** like that. Hell everytime I have gone out with Jenn (who is so much more amazing than Lady Voldermort its like comparing Shelby Cobras to an El Camino) I have given her something it might have been flowers, a CD, something I won from the Claw machine, a Care Bear I saw and bought becasue I saw it and thought of her.
So bascially what I'm saying is that it is complete and arbitary bullshit that we have this day set aside where we should tell people that we love them. It's so stupid I mean this could really be why we are so FUCKED up as a nation. We need to do away with Valentine's Day and start teaching our children, grandchildre, nieces and nephews, little cousins that we need to show and let the people know that we love and care about, that we love them everyday of the year. Not just the days dictated to us that we should tell them.
I think i have ranted long enough, in my thirty years I did have one good Valentines Day and it was three years ago. I was subbing for a fifth grade class and it was the day of their dance at school in the afternoon. Which for me I thought was going to be horrible because you know its a Valentines Day dance. But anyways there was this one kid who wanted to ask this girl to dance with him, He was shy and nervous and unsure of himself, he asked me for advice and I told him just to take a deep breathe, go over be yourself, and if she says No its no big deal. He went over adn said yes. He came running back over to tell me with a huge grin on his face. I asked him why hes not dancing with her and he said Oh, and went back over to her. IT made me feel good.
I did however give or mail four Valentines this year. One went to my mom, one went to my little cousin (I had to do those ones, no matter what) as for the other two they went to two very special people, One that I care very deeply about, and the other one to someone so precious you cant but help to like her. (The one I care deeply about is also percious) Ok I'm rambling again so I will end it here.
