Valentine’s Day

I’ve never been a big fan of this day. In fact, I think I dislike it more when I’m actually seeing someone. Why? Because it has to be one of the most sexist holidays celebrated anywhere in the country.

I mean… when was the last time you saw a valentines day commercial for power tools, grills, or giant 100″ TVs? That’s right… they hardly exist because this has been transformed from a holiday of mutual love and adoration into a holiday that’s basically used as a “test” to see if guys in relationships suck or not. Who decided that February 14th would be the day for a whole bunch of women to get their hopes up after having watched another year’s worth of soap operas and romantic comedies? Who made that decision? I want them found and shot.

But… on the plus side, I’m single. Yes, that is a plus. It’s not always the best thing in the world, but consider this: my level of stress over the past week has not been increased by the prospect of having to out-do myself or anyone else today… and I plan to spend exactly $0 on valentine’s day related expenses. (Unless you count the extra-cheap candy tomorrow)

So take off that goofy looking pink shirt and quit acting like today is any different than any other day of the year. If you silly people require a day set aside to tell someone how much you care… well… sucks to be you. Or, rather, sucks to be your significant other. Have a nice day.
