We've all heard some sour puss exclaim "Valentines Day is a corporate holiday! Don't support the greeting card companies! I'm obviously single and not getting laid so you all must be miserable with me!"
People need to stop thinking of valentines day as anything but a day to be with the people you love. And others will chime in with "Why can't we do that every day? Why does it have to be Valentines Day?" To which I reply, because you touch yourself at night.
But seriously. That retort doesn't work because the fact of the matter is a very small portion of people do nice things for their loved ones with any regularity. Think of what would happen if Vday was taken off the books. Men would have more money in their pockets come February 15th. Women would sulk because their boyfriends are never romantic. The chocolate, flower and paper industries would suffer. THE HORROR.
You know, being the cynic that I am, you'd think I was anti-Vday like the previously mentioned virgin jerkoffs. But actually, I'm all for it. For the reasons mentioned above. Everyone needs lovin', and Valentines Day is a way to make sure the people who love you won't forget to give said lovin'. Plus, who DOESN'T like chocolate, candy, flowers, jewelry, whatever, PLUS sappy words in a card every now and then?? No one, that's who.
I apologize for the shortness of this entry, but that's really all I have to say. Way to pick a lame topic Andy! Try again.
I do propose, however, that you and I (Andrew) celebrate between Februarly 17th and the 20th, for this simple reason: Shit's on sale. Saaaale. I can't tell you how much delicious candy and how many nice cards we could get for insanely low prices after Vday. Plus, our anniversary is on the 20th anyway, so why not just make it a three day chocolate binge. Deal? Deal.
