It has come to my attention that it is the 14th of February. Whenever this date rolls around I tend to be in a bad mood. And before anyone thinks there funny by saying "its because your alone" it has nothing to do with that at all. Its yet another holiday being taken over by corporate greed. Valentines Day or by its correct title St. Valentines Day was originally to honor saint valentine. It was then in the 15 century the term became associated with romance and love. People in the middle ages would exchange poetry and hand picked flowers to express love for one another. Now im not trying to say that valentines day isn't like this.. cause it is. That's not my point, whats wrong with valentines day is how it was malformed by companies like Hallmark to be more about exchanging gifts instead of love. This ideal was planted in Americans heads generations ago and now its common practice. And any man can tell you what happens if they forgot the pre packaged chocolates or the red roses... you get yelled at by your girlfriend/boyfriend. So apparently the only way to express love now is through gifts. And one more thing id like to touch on, what makes the 14th of February so special? why is this the pre disposed date that im suppose to love someone more then every other day in the year?
Now im not going to go on forever, but one last thing I want to touch on.. 3 weeks ago back in January i saw people carrying around valentines day balloons and on Facebook people were posting about valentines day like it actually was valentines day, and it was fucking January! Now lastly Id like to say this holiday is a misruble excuse of what it use to be... and its sad. All holidays are suffering from this same fate and its sad. The true meaning of holidays is being pushed to the fucking side for crappy gifts that were probably put together by people in china making 20 cents an hour.
ITS VALENTINES DAY, FUCK THE GIFTS, FUCK THE CHOCOLATE SPEND THE DAY WITH YOUR LOVED ONE LIKE THE HOLIDAY WAS MEANT.
