valentines day is upon us once again.
every store has had hearts vomited into it like some foul red and pink affection for regurgitation.
in the asking of friends family, etc. you will likely encounter 5 separate stand points or a combination thereof...
(in order of popularity)
1) I fucking hate valentines day, it's a commercial holiday instilled with the sole purpose of shoving more useless crap upon our loved ones in an effort to validate one's love for another. we should be showing them we love them everyday instead of saving it up for this charade.
2) that bastard better not forget/fail to get me something good this year. I deserve the world for dealing with his shit all year long. he better not come lean, I don't want fucking chocolates, flowers or teddy bears...
3) *sigh* I'm tired of being alone. god hates me. I think I'll choke myself to masturbatory material and hope for death.
4) fuck that bitch, who needs her...
5) who gives a good goddamn? it's just another day.
this fascinates me for the simple reason that most people do not truly feel they way they front about this confusing, heart breaking and ambivalent day.
just like the people who claim they hate christmas. while they may hate aspects of the holiday, they would be hurt and disappointed if no one bought them presents and coal mysteriously appeared in their oversized sock.
I think the sad reality is much more mundane.
people want to feel loved.
even when they know that they truly are, they need/want/crave validation of that affection.
we are creatures who feel alone even with company.
we are insecure, unstable, misunderstood, hopeless, foolish romantics. despite that fact that we feign indifference in a pathetic attempt to shield ourselves.
stop being dicks and love each other this year.
send stupid 2nd grade valentines with trains on the front that say I choo choo choose you.
order custom, shitty tasting, chalky candy hearts that sport proverbs of your choosing.
slip love notes into cereal boxes.
give hugs.
open doors.
pay the bridge toll for the car behind you even though you don't know who he is and probably never will.
make mix tapes and put them in random mailboxes.
cook a nice meal for someone.
just for one day, one day...
think about someone other than yourself and do something nice just because.
you selfish fucks

I agree. I don’t hate Valentines Day…no not at all. I enjoy the day, it’s just sad for me cause I cant spend it with the people I want to. So I dislike that part of it.
I do have a Valentine this year….her name is Lily & were going to go ice skating. I’m also taking her to go see Coraline.
I think we will have a lot of fun.
