Valentines??

I am actually one of those who says why can't valentines be on every day show your love for your partner every day instead of one specific day. Isn't it a lil kid holiday anyway? Those lil marvel action comics valentines are so cute. but after that it could give the wrong signal. I mean if im into a guy, but he despises me, and he gives me a "be mine" card, whats not to think an emotionally sensitve chick would take it as an "i like you cue" how many crimes do you see fought over a woman...c'mon now, dont let it start here lol.

Seriously though, nobody closes or no tax break happens so wtf? Im a chick so i can buy flowers anytime i want, and its appropriate. A guy, that's just a lil wierd. when you see a dude in a flower-shop its prob for some special occasion or something like that, not for skits&wiggles. But i guess I'll say VD is a rescue for those non emotional, non expressive types. OR its a day to remember that you're alone, hwne i was single and wanting a relationship, I REALLY hated Valentines day. In this economy don't you think there would be cheaper items since it HAS to be a materialistic made up holiday, i mean every damn company in the world is getting a freaking bailout of some sort, why cant it be the normal person, or that one who's wallet looks as barren as the Sahara desert? Wouldn't it be cheaper too, to give a lil candy here,a random rose, or wildflower you find somewhere, or a lil Hi out of the blue or do dishes for your partner, or learn to massage, so you can massage your partner,*they always come with happy endings lol* throughout the year, say on bad days? Sappy ass cards, those things just irritate the hell out of me, I've never been a materialistic person to begin with but hell, $16.95 for a piece of paper that says what I'm fully capable of saying to you myself? cmon now....REALLY? Its not like I can't do it my damn self. Why do i have to shell out money to show you that i care. I mean no, i wont send you a text if you're my partner or something but shit, almost 20 bucks for some random ass company to tell you what i can already? but then again, it may again be an escape route for those non-emotionally expressive types. and for that i ain't mad.
I don't see spending money on temporary things, vd or otherwise, when I'd rather put the vd money into, oh, say... KEEPING THE ROOF OVER MY HEAD? It would mean more if a man HAD to spend money on me, to um, lets see, donate to the BUTTAFLY SURVIVAL FUND? Think about it, it would be a MUCH wiser investment than roses that will die, candy i shouldn't really eat, and a card I might lose on accident. In the end that would help me out, last longer, relieve stress, and mean so much. I hate a man who thinks he HAS to spend money on me. Chivalry doesn't require money. But maybe that's why i stayed single for so long and dated the wrong men for so long. Cause i got lost and strayed away from the root of me.
I think i really came to this concept when i joined the military, all the ladies in my flight were giving me static cause i was the only one that didn't get or do anything big for valentines day. I got my E-3, i was happy. I didnt need anything else. All in all, unless you are EXTREMELY into Valentines day and have someone who likes only getting things once a year, instead of all year and extras on V-day. I don't care for it, i mean i wake up, shit shower and shave, pay daycare, eat, and sleep just like any other day, its not like there's a lunar eclipse on the 14Th of Feb that will annihilate one block randomly from a city each year so that YOU have to celebrate it, so why do it just once. I think I'm getting something for Valentines this year, but if not, I got roses a few weeks ago, he does lil things for me, makes sure we have us time. ***MOST IMPORTANTLY, we still have a home, we still have daycare, we still have each other, my fridge is still full, he still has good job, we still have heat and air. In this economy, not many can say that, so I'm happy either way.
