My Valentine's Day

Since I have no one to share it with. I shall wallow in my despair of loneliness. At least this cheered me up though:

 

Just think of the money, time and bullshit you saved today.

 

My office is closed today because of bad weather, so I did some work at home. It's after 6:00 pm and I haven't spoken to another person today. Happy Valentines Day indeed.

 

I suppose this is true. Least I have alcohol to keep me company.

 

Boy, I've never thought of myself as cynical about romance, but that really was my dominant thought today on my first unattached Valentine's Day -- or one of the few -- in probably 30 years.

 

Find a girl that calls Valentine's Day "Wednesday." Then consider yourself lucky. I do.

 

I'm not so much cynical about romance as I am about Valentine's Day. It's just a greeting card holiday and means nothing. If you want to take whoever out in January or buy them flowers in March, do it then, not just because the calendar says so.

 

I was shopping for a greeting card to give my wife and I saw one that was not appropriate, but funny. The front was designed to look like a magazine cover with all these goopy teasers to advice stories geared toward those people who are sickeningly, obsessively, borderline-stalkerlike in love. My favorite was, "Long-distance romance: How to not feel lonely when your sweetie goes to the bathroom."

 

*Tossing a Mountain Dew and a thoroughly guy-sort-of-blow-sh_t-up film to SFE*

Join the club. This too shall pass.

 

All that matters is that one gets a girlfriend in time for true national holiday in march.

 

And good luck with THAT

 

Can you make that a Dr. Pepper? And the blow sh*t up film would be just fine!
