The Past: 2/14/07

If it were up to me, no one would recognize this stupid fucking day as a holiday. Valentine's Day. It's a day, just like any other. But somehow, we're forced to participate in the stupidity that has become a day recognized for love. Like single people need MORE of a reminder just how single they are. Or people in love need to be reminded to tell the person they're with how much they love them - with GIFTS. Fuck this stupid day - and I've said "fuck this stupid day" even when I've been in relationships, so I'm not being unfair here. It's fucking retarded and we all know it and still we cave in to Hallmark and jewelry stores and florists who charge three times as much for roses than any other day of the year. It's a sham, people, and I'm not the first to say as much.

If you need a fucking calendar and a Hallmark store to tell you when to do something special for the person you love, you need serious fucking help.
