| | Day no. 2 in a row where I've felt, all day, like slamming my face,
repeatedly, into a slab of pavement. I love these days, they're
my favourites!
Yeah, I'm overly cynical, the last week or so. It happens, every
year, around St. Valentine's Day. It's never a good day, and I
would never want to 'celebrate' it as a holiday. It's not even
good enough to be called worthless, like Presidents' Day or some shit
like that--it's actually evil. Even Halloween gets more respect
from me than Feb. 14. Of course, I think, for Halloween, we
should just cut through the treacle and, rather than still going
through the stupid motions of costumes and trick-or-treating, we should
just have a centralised location in every town where the government
hands out one 5 lb. bag of shitty candy to every man, woman, or child
in the country. Fill out your form ahead of time, so they know
whether to give you regular, dark chocolate, or even low sugar for the
diabetics--NO LOW CARB CANDY FOR YOU PUSSIES ON ATKINS!!! EAT
YOUR DAMN CANDY AND ENJOY IT, YOU FAT BASTARDS!!!
However, St. Valentine's day has no point, whatsoever, outside of the
commercialisation of the single most powerful, yet often passive force
in the human universe--romantic love. I WILL NOT buy you flowers
on Valentine's Day, even if just to make a statement. I would,
however, probably get/do something for you (this is a generic,
non-specific 'you') maybe in a month leading up to it for the same
purpose as is marketed on that lowest of all Julian calendar days
because that's the kind of person I am. I love to show you how
much I care for you, but not at the expense of my own scruples. I
don't think that's terribly unreasonable. I HATE tradition for
the sake of tradition because it completely decimates the spirit of the
tradition. Maybe it's all because I've never had anyone on Feb.
14. I know at least part of it is, but I also know it's not all
solely bitterness. I'm sure I'm extra bitter this year, but I
have a right to be. I'll be over it right around 12:00AM, Wed.
Feb 15, as is the case every year. However, my cynicism shouldn't
be written off, simply because it is cynical.
I know I have some merit to this argument, I'm not the only one who
feels this way. If there were no real logical, academic,
emotional, psychological, or even UNLOGICAL basis or merit to it,
please shoot me down. For now, I'll
be spending Tuesday night, at least part of it, with Elliott at the Library, being single.
End of line.
