Happy $#%^@ Valentine's Day
Dear Valentine's Day:
You're lame.
Love,
Daorcey

I'd like to think that I'm a romantic guy. I like long walks to nowhere, random gifts of flowers or pastry, unexpected trips to the mountains, carefully placed "I love yous" and all that jazz. But, Valentine's Day is just too much for me. I know the argument has already been made about how this is a plastic holiday manufactured by greeting card and chocolate companies, so I won't rehash it here.
Simply put, I'm a fan of cards when you're not expecting them and chocolate when you feel like indulging. I'll bow to the corporate romance cabal any other day but today. I refuse to participate and that makes me
and only me
feel good about myself. Sorry, Natalie, but dem's da breaks.
I have gotten Natalie a card or two in our past. The best being a card that says "Valentine's Day is for Losers." If I can find something good like that again, I'll pick it up. But otherwise, I'm not going shopping today.
So, that brings me to the next two images and why I'm redeemed for posting them. You see, quality Star Wars humour trumps plastic holiday. And so, to you, I share the following valentines.
And my favourite:
Buy cheap chocolate tomorrow and throw it in the freezer for when you need it.

amen to that.
Valentine's is for chumps.
We have initiated a mass boycott. "Mass" referring to the two of us -- Jen and I.
We walked around today and saw worried-looking men walking around with flowers, and crowds of people in the red-covered-chocolate section of the Shoppers Drug Mart, and the flowers and teddy bears in the supermarket -- and it made us glad that those people are not us.
And we'll just be nice to each other all year round.
If only they made those cards. Look here for other great examples.

You know, although many of us are in great relationships, I would like to say that somewhere out there, the girlfriends of boys who like "The Fast and the Furious" and umm, the sequel to that movie, probably spend a lot of time sans chocolates and flowers. If your man sucks poo, maybe it would be nice if he spent a couple of hours at the mall, feeling like a complete tweeb, in order to buy your love.
Maybe, we all like Christmas, don't we?
Roz, are you referencing someone I know? Because I think you are.
At least it's not me. The Fast and The Furious is on the same list as Titanic: never seen it, never will.
"... if your man sucks poo"
These words will stick with me...
I join this fight with my arms flailing! Valentines is a day for lame ass couples who need Daddy Hallmark to tell them when they love eachother.
Oh and Daorcey, I live my life a quarter mile at a time.
Valentine's day can go fuck itself.
That is all I have to say on that.
And the 15th is actually a little known holiday, called international man day, where one sits in a bar, watches sports, drinks beer and eats wings.
That day... that day I like.
Are you sure that isn't just Kris and Lawrence being bitter?
Although wings would totally make any holiday.
