Here we go again. It is that time of year again. The time of year when all of the stores are selling high priced, high fat, high cholesterol chocolates, high priced fake, plastic flowers, or those flowers that die after just one day after purchase. The time of year when everybody either calls out of work, requests this particular day off of work, or go into debt booking expensive, cheesy romantic hotel suites to impress their significant other. The time of year when people take the initiative to show their significant other extra attention, while they complain 364 days out of the year that they don't show enough attention. If you're one of these people who go the extra mile for this overrated so called unofficial holiday, do you. I don't care. It's no money coming out of my pocket.
But what grinds my gears about Valentine's Day, is the fact that my fellow singles tend to become a little dark, depressed, and suicidal. I mean closer and closer to VDay, facebook friends, twitter followers, classmates, co-passengers on the train, talk about how they're oh so depressed about being alone on Valentine's Day. For example: "I guess I'll be home alone on VDay with three gallons of Ben&Jerry Chunky Monkey ice cream, and my favorite movie 'Notebook'." Or from men I'll hear the famous line I hear every year from bitter and depressed men without Valentines. Example: "Yo F&*k VDay Yo! B&%^* aint S**&% anyway!". No I think it' s just you with the problem. But this really grinds my gears because these people really let this one day put them at risk of being committed in a psych ward.
Ladies. First of all. If you're single and you don't have a Valentine or any prospects of one, and someday you really would like to meet a guy, why would you pack on unhealthy pounds of junk food? Then after Valentine's Day you're going to be even more sad and depressed because you gained twenty pounds because you ate your self into depressive stupor due to lack of a valentine. Another thing I hate, is when we all get together with our friends, go out to dinner, and bash men. Talk about how all men aint S&^@, how they don't care, how we're all tired of getting our hearts broken even though we date guys that we know are no good for us. Getting angry and drunk off of cheap moscato wine, to the point where we are no longer angry just sad. Then one chick starts tearing up then thats the start of a crying chain reaction. So now we're drunk, vulnerable and bored. So then we go our separate ways and on our way to each of our homes, we start drunk texting the last guy who broke our hearts demanding why? why? why?
I aint going to front. I did that last year but I have matured since last year and this year is going to be different. First of all, I must admit that last year people went HAM on Valentine's Day on facebook. The pictures that was posted had me dying laughing out of my drunken anger. People posting pictures of rose petal covered beds, bowls of strawberries and whipped cream. Whips, chains, annnnd handcuffs. But what really had me dying laughing was the statuses that was being posted, all night long.
You can tell who the people are that really have a valentine from the people who don't have one and just want to jump on the bandwagon. If you really have a valentine, and you're "getting in" being all romantic with your boo, you will NOT be on facebook updating statuses on everything you're doing TO your boo at that moment. You will NOT be updating statuses about how you just passionately kissed your boo to the point where she almost passed out. Come on, give us a break. You will NOT be updating statuses about how your man is giving you a deep tissue, full body massage and you're so hot and ready. STOP IT. Just stop it. You don't have a valentine. It's ok boo, a lot of us don't have valentines, don't feel bad.
There are so many things you could do on Valentine's Day so that you don't feel like a loser. Here is a good one: Act like its just a regular day. Why? Because it is! You could also do something productive like: Go to work. Go to school. Do your normal activities like you would any other day. Why? Because Valentine's Day is just like any other day! Do you guys even know the history behind Valentine's Day? Oh? So all yall know about is flowers, candy, and romance? See this is why we are opressed.
Another question. Who wants a man that only spoils and show extra love one day out of 365 per year? I don't. *pops gum*
