"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
