valentine's day rant.


today at work, i overheard a homely female employee voicing her hatred for Valentine's Day to another homely female employee and it got me thinking.

i think it's ridiculous whenever girls say they hate valentine's day because of the commercialization of the occasion. how it's nothing but a conspiracy that the card companies, chocolate factories, and teddy bear stuffers are all behind.

"I'm not gonna let them deceive me," they say. "I'm too smart to buy into that."

listen. all holidays are commercialized. unless you boycott every major holiday, why should anyone take your principles seriously? rarely do you ever hear a girl complain about Christmas - the most over-commercialized holiday.

embrace it. the odds are good that someday you'll eventually have a boyfriend on Valentine's Day and you'll want to go out, but he won't take you out, because youll be too afraid to admit that you want to be taken out. so be honest. get it off your chest. once and for all. you hate valentine's day because of all the acne years you spent alone in your room while all your attractive friends were holding hands at the mall.

so this Valentine's Day. I challenge you. all lonely and bitter single girls. when you put up your sad away message tonight.

just copy and paste this:

"alone again. on valentine's day. not because of the commercialization, but because im socially awkward and unappealing to the opposite sex. new episode of LOST tonight though. pretty excited about that."

AWESOME. I agree completely. I've only ever heard girls bitch about it when they don't have anyone or they have someone who doesn't get off their butt to make a fuss of them. Whatever. I chose the different route when I was by myself and celebrated by doing/buying something special for myself because I deserved it. Happiness is about being happy within yourself not just about being part of a couple.

i like this.. definitely true. i almost gave into being like that on valentine's day because it was one week after i broke up with my boyfriend. but instead of dwelling on being alone and hating valentine's day, i hung out with my best friend and watched lost. i think it was better that way.
