It's that time of the year again....

Maybe I am just thick headed or something, but does anyone see any significance to Valentines Day in this world? It is an over done "holiday" that should not be labled as a holiday. All Valentines Day is, is a time of the year when everyone feels obligated to be nice to the ones they love. They will buy chocolates and flowers for the girls they love/like and perform acts of "love" by doing something romantic for that person.

God I hate this "holday" and I always have.

Maybe my contempt for it stems from all the years in grade school. Remember when you had to get everyone a Valentines in the class so no one would feel left out. Yeah well I would still get people comeing around saying this doesn't mean anything to me..... Wow way to go, raise my self esteem a little more why don't you. Maybe next time you could just kill me while you stand there instead of killing me a little more inside. I think after the second time this happened is when I decided that I would go on my own and I don't need other people.

Another thing that gets to me on Valentines Day is that I am usually alone. Only the past three years I had someone, and now I have no one again. Great, a time when you are supposed to be with someone and love them I have no one. And how many are going to wish me a happy Valentine's Day on their own volition? Maybe only a few people will. The best way to make someone hate something is to show what it is supposed to be like, and then not give it to them.

One final thing that doesn't make much sense to me is something my ex has always said: why should there just be one day where you treat your significant other with lots of love? You should not be showing your love on one day of the year but everyday. That kind of kills me that one has to be loved on one specific day of the year and will no longer show it the rest of the year. Being Romantic is another thing, you should be romantic on a regular basis and not one day of the year. I am guilty of this one and I plan on changing that, but it won't matter if I do or not because I won't be getting anyone until the end of days.

You may think I am a hyppocrit and that I enjoy Valentine's Day when I am dating someone, or have anyone at all. If you think that then you are dead wrong. I don't like it either way, having someone just makes it more bearable because I know I have someone. I will do something for the other person so that they don't feel I forgot about them or anything like that, but I try, or will try, to do things all the time that are romantic as one might call them.

In closing I hope they change what Valentine's Day is about, and that Whiteman's and Hallmark don't capitalize on this "holiday." That is another thing that makes me angry but I will not going into that now.

Au'revior for now.
