PRELUDE: I've just downloaded a shizzzz load of new music. Including Vampire Weekend, which is some really good music. Oh, and since we've had this extremely long weekend, I thought this was a clever & appropriate blog title. I'm cool like 'dat.So, today's Valentine's Day, or what I like to call it, February 14th. More importantly, today is a sorry excuse for overspending, materialism, and superficial feelings. I feel sorry for all of those who wholeheartedly partake in this madness, because it is pure crap. I am very vehement about this, so peep my rant. -___- lmao.
Now, what the hell is wrong wit 'chall? (I am known to be a killjoy when it comes to "national holidays," but I just simply cannot understand how people can succumb to this apparent state of oblivion. Like, dude, wake up!)

This day means absolutely nothing. It means NOTHING more than another day that God has blessed us with. It's another day on the calendar when people make excuses for being selfish. "Oh, but it's Valentine's Day." Really? And what does that mean to you? Is that when Jesus was born? Or was that when he died? (no, and no). Great. At least we're HALFway there.
I'm just annoyed with the idea of buying shit for the person you care about on ONE day, in order to fufill your duty as a husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, mother, father, etc. That's bullshit. I care about plenty of people, and I am certain that they care about me, too. They do a lot for me every single day, and I appreciate them for the amazing people that they are. I refuse, however, to "show that I love" someone on this ONE day by purchasing some singing card or a stuffed animal. It shouldn't be that way, but it is. People PRIDE themselves on what they bought/received on Valentine's Day - but why? Is it that serious? No, it isn't. It is insane that one would even be happy that their loved one bought them a gift/took them to dinner/splurged for the"holiday's" sake, rather than showing genuine appreciation every other day of the year.
So, yes. I have a problem with February 14th, because I don't think that anyone should partake in it. Granted, one would assume that this is all because I'm involved anyone, but that person would be wrong. Even while in a relationship, I expressed my bitter disdain for 2/14. Ironically, the person who I was involved with at the time didn't quite understand this concept, so... we broke up. lmao.
Moral of the blog: Fellas, don't go out buying coach wristlets for your girlfriend if she has sense enough to say "No, sweetie. Don't buy me anything, I'd rather you save your money." In fact, if she says this, you hold on to her. She's a keeper. Romance should not be defined by the money in yo' wallet. It's more than chocolate and roses (also known as bullshit). Don't get me wrong, chocolates are yummy, and roses are pretty, just not on 2/14. Don't use 2/14 as an excuse to be selfish. Don't use 2/14 as a means of redemption. It's just another day of year; appreciate who you have DAILY. Don't settle for the national standard of being cheesy and superficial in the name of Sir Valentine. lmaooo. Idek if that's who the holiday's named after, I'm just talking shit.
I'm done, though. Wrap it up, couples. Conceiving on 2/14 is such a faux pas, ^__^
