Rant: Valentine's Day.

Hey there! How's it goin'? Sorry I've been away for so long.

The reason I'm doing this is because there's a lot of shit going down in my home country these days and I am really sick of reading about the shit. Makes me feel embarrassed. What if people come up to me and say "Hey! You're from that messed up place aren't ya?"? What if?

The latest joke was about this whole Valentine's Day celebration. Now I know what Valentine's Day is. It is a day where lovers express their love for each other (actually you can do that everyday) and where single men finally have the balls to ask a girl out just because he bought expensive roses (which by the way, triples in cost during this week.) and chocolates for the girl he desires.

I am no expert in religion but I am sure as hell that Valentine's wasn't in Buddhist, Taoist, Hindu, Sikh, Baha'i, and in whatever religion you can find. I am pretty sure Valentine's is NOT a custom in any of the mentioned religions. We celebrate it anyway. Why? Because its a day of love, passion, romance, and I am starting to sound like a girl.

Now I've not had good Valentine's Days in the past. In fact, the first time I've ever celebrated Vday was last year and I can tell you now I regretted it. Oh yeah, RE-to the-GRET! Anyway I'm just annoyed at how couples and new found interests can't share this day together in peace now because there is apparently gonna be patrolling by a bunch of people who never had a decent Valentine's Day in their lives.

GROW A PAIR!

I mean seriously what you do and how you do it is none of our business and we respect that. So why can't you leave those sweet lovers alone and let them do whatever the hell they want? Hey, its not like they're forcing you to watch. Who invited you to the party?

Here's another brilliant thing I've just reallized. Even IF you do patrol the streets and strike fear into those poor young innocent souls, what makes you think they don't have their ways? I mean honestly if they knew you'd be out on the streets and so-called "lover spots" trying to find them, who in their right mind would let you find them? And if these people are doing "immoral" things, what are you? I mean you're trying to invade their priacy and tell them what to do. Heck, you're even LOOKING for them while they're in action. Now seriously, who has moral issues now?

LEAVE THEM LOVERS ALONE!

So to all my readers, if you're still here, what are your Valentine's Day plans? I would love to read your comments and plans for the day. I'm not actually expecting to see any comments but I thought it makes me cooler to say this. Enjoy your Valentine's Day people.

BTW FYI, I am not doing anything for Valentine's Day. It was never my thing. I do have a 5 minute Skype date with the best-friend though. ;)

Missing you, Jayhawk...



Thank you!

Yours truly,
