For those who don't know, tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Obviously, guys(and perhaps some girls), this is your cue to panic if you didn't get your significant other a gift as of yet. There's still time, if you don't want a one way trip to the doghouse. Or the couch. If you're lucky. Of course, the fact that a gift is expected really does tend to rather agitate me. Then again, I've always seen Valentine's Day as a commercialized hoax to line to the pockets, candy companies, flower companies, and card companies.
Valentine's Day-A Massacre If You Have Other Pressing Things On Your Mind Other Than Materialistic Goods
People tend to talk about Christmas as something that is over commercialized. Perhaps true, but with Christmas, you really tend to have the joyous family atmosphere and a time where you meet up with family that you have.
With Valentine's Day, you buy someone candy or flowers or a card or jewelry if you have the budget for it, if you're in a significant relationship with someone. If you're not in a relationship, then you have better things to do with your life likely anyway to worry about that holiday and just amuse yourself with people bending over backwards to get something tacky, in the hope that they will be getting lucky, if you catch my drift.
And God forbid you have other concerns on your mind other than your significant other. Because, heaven knows that the world will just grind to a halt for one day of the year. I'm nearly certain that there has been blood shed over someone forgetting Valentine's Day.
February 14st. To me it is just another day of a very short month. Then again, love makes you do stupid things. And obviously for a holiday that can celebrate love, in does inspire a lot of rage when someone doesn't get what they want on this day. There is a more dark side to Valentine's Day. Christmas does have some fluffy joy to it at least.
For you sane people who celebrate the joy of the day, good for you. For those who get all uppity because the day is forgotten, I think there's really hope for you. For those of you who purposefully forget to prove a point, I salute you, you have quite the set on you my good man. Regardless, have a good one, but don't take Valentine's Day too seriously.
