Valentines Day Drama

I feel like I may be redundant in writing a piece on this holiday. Let's face it, you either love it, or you hate it. Regardless of which side of that fence you sit on, I am confident that you get an earful about it. Because I sure get alot of it. My Facebook and Twitter has been nothing but flowers, roses, rain clouds, frowning faces, hearts, and a whole lot of red. You may wonder which side I sit on this fence. The fact is, I sit on the side that couldn't care any less. The fact that people are celebrating this day with a certain someone doesn't directly affect me in any way shape or form. You know what does affect me? That you post about how great your significant other is all over my news feeds. This isn't really news to me though. You can't seem to shut up about how great they are for the other 364 days of the year either. It also affects me that people are sobbing about how they don't have a valentine. If you were to spend less time at home on your computer, or watching Netflix, you may have a more likely chance of finding this mysterious prince charming. That is one thing that I have never, and will never understand. If you want to find love so damn bad, you ought to go try and find it. Prince charming doesn't go door to door. Not since Cinderella anyway. If you think that someone is going to sweep you off your feet while you are laying around, you are either not familiar with physics, or are inherently stupid. You have to be standing for someone to sweep you, firstly. Secondly, I haven't met one guy that said he found the love of his life after he broke into her house and saw her there watching TV. So, forgive me for being slightly pessimistic from that standpoint. I think that I have always secretly liked Valentines day. They breed it deep into my blood line from elementary school. All I have to do is create some sort of receptacle, and people fill it with candy and stuff. In that way, Valentines day has always been awesome. Free stuff! What they fail to inform you of, is that it isn't always like that. Especially for men as we grow older and get into relationships. You don't get a damn thing. Not a Spiderman valentine card, no sweethearts, just an empty wallet. You grow up and realize it's like every other holiday. It's only good as a kid. The biggest beef I have with Valentines day, is that I am somewhat old fashioned in my thinking. I don't think you should have to wait until Valentines day to show someone that you care about them. That's not to say you have to buy $100 three course meals on an every day basis, by any means. But, if you really cared about them, you would probably go really big on Valentines day, because you spend money, and more importantly time with this person for the rest of the year. Maybe that's childish. Maybe it's something that I am just making out to be that is not. But, I think that it reigns true in my soul. I will keep it at that, and wish all of you a very safe, and happy holiday. I hope that anyone who doesn't have love, finds it. Even if it's only for a night. (I don't fully support prostitution. So try to find it legally) Make good choices, friends. Smooches.
