"Love sucks. Sometimes it feels good. Sometimes it's just another way to bleed." - Laurell K Hamilton

Valentines day is almost upon us. I HATE that day with a burning passion (There's a dose of irony for ya) It's just another reminder to me and many others how fucking alone we really are. I've NEVER had a valentine or even a date on that day. the only plus is February 15th, all the candy goes on sale. I see all these happy people and want to hit them with a potted plant. I make it a point (If I go leave my cave) to wear all black. If you think about it why do we celebrate love on one day? It's a marketing ploy. The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. The association estimates that women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines and I can't even get one. The real story behind Valentine's day is a few (14 ish) martyrs. So the Roman church makes a holiday around it. I'm thinking the fucker's were made of chocolate, flowers and cheap cards. I dunno where the little naked bastard with the arrows comes in, the winged bastard. For those of you who are in love, Congratulations. For those of you who are like me and can't get a date without paying for it, Join me in the wearing of the black and the day after candy sale. There I'm done being hateful and feeling sorry for myself, You can go get ready for your date. -- Green Eyed Dragon

If you would attain to what you are not yet, you must always be displeased by what you are. For where you are pleased with yourself there you have remained. Keep adding, keep walking, keep advancing. ~Saint Augustine

It's been well over a year since I've posted. Things have been pretty fucked up this year. I've had to deal with three deaths, a friend moved to the other coast, another one is way on the other side of the world in the desert. Some friendships got weakened others got stronger and I've met a few new people. I've had a few friends and family close to me have a few health scares, I've had a few health problems myself. My family life has gone pretty much to hell. Some things have changed for the better and other things not so much. I'm going to try to change things that need it. I'm going to try to fix me where I can. I might even try to find a woman (insert laugh track here) that will like me for who I AM not who they can make me. 2009 will be my year. -- Green eyed Dragon
