Valentine’s Day
Or Corporate Love day as I like to call it.
What a stupid holiday. Hallmark and American Greetings got together and decided to tell crappy husbands that they need to tell their wives “I love you” once a year.
You may send me some link about how Valentine’s Day actually originated, but I will just delete it because I am correct.
This is a corporate money making holiday and that’s it. Society has drilled it into our heads since we were kids that you need to buy a bunch of pink and red candy and garbage for people and give it to them on February 14th. But what is the point?
Another thing I don’t get is why girls buy into this crap? Seriously, you are basically giving your idiot significant others a free out for the rest of the year as long as they do something nice on Valentine’s Day. Why not expect them to show their love and affection more sporadically throughout the year?
Also, guys only have two reasons for getting their significant others things on Valentine’s Day. One, they don’t want to deal with a pissed off girl for a week and two, they want to get some.
Valentine’s Day for those in love is a lot like Easter and Christmas for fair-weather Catholics. You get your day checked off and you’re good for the rest of the year.
So girls, don’t give guys the one-day out. Guys, treat your women good all the time, not just when 1-800-Flowers tells you to.

Someone at CNN posted an article against Valentine’s Day that was pretty good. His primary grievance was that the holiday was PURELY commercial, because it’s not tied to a religious observance (like Christmas or Easter) nor does it commemorate something of national importance (like Independence Day, Veteran’s Day, Memorial Day, etc). Many of those other holidays have become commercialized, but they were not so to begin with. Valentine’s Day, on the other hand, began that way, and serves no other function.

Oh man, I this stupid day so much that I refuse to refer to it as a holiday, and also refuse to refer to it by common name. What a waste of a perfectly good day in black history month. I mean, as much as the white man wants to crack down, why not stop trying to steal more days out of the already anorexic month of February, and give black history it’s day back. How is it that flowers can be a gift, when they die and at no point can they play your mp3′s while jogging, start your car remotely, or make your computer run faster with a couple extra Gig’s of ram. I’m fine with buying gifts, but not if they will die or flush down the toilette in less than 24 hours. Keep your chocolates Walmart, keep your stupid card’s Hallmark, and keep your stupid flowers Hy-Vee. Instead of blowing a bunch of money on false love promises, I’m gonna instead make an additional principal payment on my house, and buy my kid a back brace to fight their multiple sclerosis. Take that you worthless piece of crap February 14th…
