It's over!
By VictorM:Valentine's Day is behind us. Thank the almighty one. It's one of the many holidays I can't stand. It's so freaking fake, so commercial, so pathetic. I was going to write a whole bunch of reasons why I dislike that day, but sanantonerose posted a something that expresses my sentiments exactly. Go read this V-Day Rant!

I hate it when peopl say that Valentine's Day is made-up/fake/or a Hallmark Holiday.
St.
Valentine's
Day
The only reason that anyone "hates" this holiday is A. They're lonely, crabby motherfuckers or B. They have a significant other, but that significant other is a selfish and/or abusive and/or worthless bastard/bitch.
I enjoyed my Valentine's day very much. I made cupcakes, bought everyone something and got them cards, dressed up my 4 month old head to two in hearts and remembered to tell everyone I loved them
I'm sure you guys sulked and mumbled to yourself.

Valentine's day is only nice if you have a valentine. Otherwise, it's lonely and sad.

Why do special stuff for your loved ones only ONE day out of the year? That's my problem with Valentine's Day. People who put so much significance on ONE day of the year, the ONE day when everything is hearts and flowers and candy, are pretty pathetic, in my book.
It's like going to confession: "As long as I show everyone I love them on V-Day, then it's OK about all those other times I forgot to tell people I loved them."
So Baby, even though we are on opposite sides of this issue, we are in complete agreement that we are both pathetic. ;)

And I mean that in the nicest way possible. ;)
Look, Valentine's Day, historically, is another one of those pagan things (in this case, the start of the cleansing and mating season Lupercalia) that the Church capitalized on by naming it after a martyred Saint, and then the greeting card companies capitalized on, by convincing women that they should buy V-Day crap to show people how much they love them which in turn sustains the greeting card co.s sagging sales between Christmas and Easter. Yes, women are the primary purchasers of V-Day crap.
V-Day is just as fake as Christmas. Probably faker.
But I'm sure everyone enjoyed the cupcakes and etc!

I'm not so sure FAKER is a word lol
Anyways, I know how people see that business/stores make a huge sale on us because they hype it up, but if you look at the reason people celebrate, it's because people want to put empathy on their love for a person. I tell people I love them all the time, but it's a day that I like to spoil someone rotten and remind them that I'm thinking about it. I'm just saying that the people who are completely against is are the people who don't have someone to celebrate with or to love.

If I lived with Baby, it would be Valentine's day every day. :-p
haha yeah yeah kissing ass, I know.
Still... silly and utterly commercial holiday. I want a woman who would be happy with going out for hamburgers on that day.

I'll go and visit you when you get rid of that huge mountain of a boyfriend you have who could break me into a thousand pieces with little effort.

The guy who composed the rant is a happily married daddy of a newborn little girl. He has much love in his life. He feels that holidays such as Valentine's cheapens the love he feels and shows for his family every single day. Sort of like many people feel Christmas excess cheapens the "reason for the season."
And Victor, don't forget: that's hamburgers AND ice cream!
