V-day... bah humbug!

Dayum, that day is approaching soon. Yesterday, before leaving work my friend burcugunes told me "Happy Valentines Day." I won't see her for another week or so, so she gave me early wishes. Thanks, that made my day =) I could go on my usual V-day tirade and gripe for all the other lonesome losers out there, but I'll reserve myself... for now at least. Besides, I have class on the night of, so I won't be able to pelt those happy couples with skittles as they cuddle up to one another in the movies. Just kidding... or am I... muhahaha! Anywhos, these holidays are funny to me, well at least how people act on these days. There are some folks that wait until February 14th to tell that special someone that they love them, or show their affection for them by showering them with candies, flowers, and whatnot... actions that can be as shallow as the words associated with them. Or the folks that try to do something extra special for that someone they are interested in, only to get shot down on the day of because that person that is being pined after has made plans with someone else... talk about a stab to the heart and kick to the stomach at the same time! Hopefully, people are not waiting until February 14th to tell either that special someone, friends, and family how they feel. Those little random acts of kindness tend to be a bit more meaningful and heartfelt in a sense, and the recipient will be much more appreciative than you ever expected (or at least they should for goodness sakes!). So, happy "no need for V-day to have a reason I tell you I love and care about you" day to all the folks that are in my little circle -- including family, friends, associates, and new acquaintances. Although I won't turn down any Tiffany boxes, Sees gift certificates, or arrangements by Moe's or Ashby Flowers if you wanna swing some my way. ;)
