.....Who the F%&$ is "Valentine"....??

WARNING:
If you had a nice valentines day and are on cloud-nine
What you are about to read "might" disinterest you.. It might make you think i am a sickened soul, who's ranting for he couldn't be happy like the rest of you.. with actual lives....on this auspicious day...
but for the record..
i do have what you might call an "interesting life" and do
want to express my love..

This might be one of the millions of rants that go out
on this day, but its not coming from a heart-broken/unloving
man...
And i don't want to bore you with the stories behind celebrating
the Vday.. cause i know...most of you have the History Channel..
Before i get to the crux of my bull s^*& lemme just state some figures


"
The Greeting Card Association estimates that, world-wide, approximately one billion valentine cards are sent each year, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas."
Let's call my alter-ego Mr.Brightside "B"

B:what's wrong with that ???
Me:well it could as well be a country's economy

B:So what ass h&*$? Are you saying i should become
this vegitable with no emotions and escapes
from this monotonous life and have a fun time with my gal/guy..!

Me:
is there an escape from the eternal recurrence of this life ?
The sad news is there is no escape... or even if there is one.. it's
definitely not in buying gifts or sending greeting cards.

B:
Alright...! i had enough of this you liberal F&^*, so your saying
i stop celebrating and start saving money so that i could donate
to some dying kid in an african country... i don't buy it..!

Me:
Well, don't buy it.. Cause that's not what i am selling
I am as selfish as you are when it comes to satysfying my needs
be what you want to be.. and have fun with your
mate..
Show off your valentine hearts.. to people who think they are
not worthy enough to have one.. gratify your ego with the
sense of superiority that you attain by blowing the horn..

Take her out for a romantic candle light dinner, just like they
show it in the movies.. say the right words.. make her feel at home
and then.. slowly take out that "bright" but not so expensive ring that
you got.. for a cheap deal @ the holiday season sale....
make her feel like she's the only angel on the planet that
you have laid your immaculate eyes....
Yes, she will be impressed.. impressed by your taste.. may be not so
much by the number of calcualtions you made before you planned
the romantic night..
That's alright she will never know..
Yes, thats my only point..
She will never know.. not until you exchange rings
and spend months F&*king like two jack-rabbits,
not untill the day you woke up and see the woman
sleeping right next to you and start wondering.. what the
hell happened.. !

All you'll be left with is the spilt milk..
it's too late isn't it..
what went wrong..
who is to blame
Is the Saint F&*)* Valentine ??
Or Is it the Capitalists.. who made this so called fest
such a big deal ?
or is it the society that urges you to act like the rest.. ?

The last and the Question that you should be asking first..
Is it Me ???

If..Not for the kids in somalia..
If..Not for the economy...
ask this Question
Atleast.. For yourself.. you selfish peace of S&(*

for, these norms that say that you have to exchange
your sensual fealings of love for someone.. on this
particular day, will might as well put your rationality
(which again is wicked ) to rest and urge you in to a
relationship...that you'll end up regretting for ever...


So B "Happy Valentines Day"

P,
Nice post.

I decided I wasn't going to get bitter about this day, and decided I would celebrate love in my own way. Hence yesterday's post. I realized that love can be acknowledged in many places and it doesnt have to be simply a celebration of romantic love.
Besides, "today is a holiday invented by greeting card companies to make people feel like crap." (From Eternal Sunshine of A Spotless Mind) Maybe there should be a new holiday that celebrates being single. That way all the people with a significant other can feel like crap. (haha jk)

I'm lovin how you always capitalize your 'Q' s.

M.

PS. yes, rationality can be quite wretched

P,
My apologies if I implied that I thought it was.
Guess you could say a remnant of my own bitterness escaped me there. (and I was trying so hard!) LOL
