I was thinking back on this and I realized that the one Valentine's Day I was with someone sucked worse then all the collective ones without someone to squeeze.
Ditto, and also the main reason why I've never done anything major since on VD. Not giving up on love and all that, but would rather do something quiet instead.

Nope...I personally don't like how commercialized they have gotten, but they at least have a christian background that I respect and believe in. Valentine's Day doesn't.
Actually, there is a Christian background. Not as important as the two holidays I mentioned, but there is one.

I'm dead serious about the trading women for comics part.

You know why a comic is better than a woman?

You know if a comic is gonna deliver the goods or not a few minutes into your relationship.

Or is it because you can shove a Hellboy comic up your ass a hell of a lot easier than you can do the same with Selma Blair?

And yet Jabba ponders the future of humanity because people are gay. Here is a much more concern worthy development.

Rath. Ego. Whoever else I'm too lazy to look up. We get that you don't have the money to get the power to get the women. And we're sorry.

But to fuckin' whine about it every fuckin' year...Caviezel, man. Get over it. Accept it and move on.

Never belittle someone because they have something you desperately want. Only belittle them when they are rock stupid...

I honestly make more money than I know what to do with, and having a woman is not the problem here. I couldn't care less about being single during this time.

I just hate watching the pitiful sheep wandering around the malls and department stores because media hype and corporate manhandling has made this holiday into something based solely on merchandising.

Drones sucking on the corporate tit. That's all it amounts to.

My complaints have literally nothing to do with whether or not I have a partner. Don't misunderstand what I say here.

Valentine's Day was much cooler a couple thousand years ago.

The Romans called it Lupercalia and it was celebrated on Febuary 15.

It was a fertility festival where the highlight was a few young men of the city (patricians as i recall) who killed a few goats skinned them and then proceeded to run through the city flailing the goat skin (called "Febura") on women they passed who wished to be fertile.

You can now go back to the seasonal depression

Or you can do Valentine's day the Roman way and start killing some goats.

The first story, the worst one:


February 13, 2001...I make plans with my girlfriend that had been living with me for just over a month (we'd known each other for much longer) and then I go to work.

March 8, 2001...I heard that she got married about a week after the last time I saw her, which was February 13th.

Up Next:

February 14, 1999: After having a rough time dealing with an ex girlfriend coming back into my life through mutual friends at a get together, I more or less (cowardly) try and get my best friend to talk to her for me, since she wouldn't even look at me. Maybe it was to bury the hatchet. Maybe it was because at the time I still had feelings for her. I don't know. He talked to her all right and I think they're still together to this day. This ended up ending our friendship later on, obviously (I tried to still be friends after this but it didn't work) but me being the moron I am, I tried to deal with it this particular day by drivng like a maniac without wearing a seatbelt on snowy, icy roads purposely trying to hurt/kill myself. Pretty fucking stupid, eh? It's amazing how much growing I've done since then. Astounding what women can do to us...


Currently:

I have the best girl in the world who I love very much. She'd never do anything like the bullshit written above. She hates Valentine's Day too, in fact. Her friend Lisa is trying to make plans for she and her boyfriend and us to go do something but I'm not all that excited about it. If we do anything, I'd rather it just be us, especially since Lisa's boyfriend is, well, a fucking chode.

Valentine's day 1975-2004:

Don't have anything even remotely resembling a girlfriend as this stupid "if you have no one you're wothless" holiday is shoved simultaneously up my ass and down my throat.

Well, especially since it falls on a Saturday this year, I'm glad most of my friends are single. So the chance of having a good weekend is still there. I don't have to sit at home listening to Slayer or falling asleep to "Demons 2."

Much like the first time...

Yet another annual installment illustrating my vehement hatred for the corporate raping this herd of braying sheep we call society has been welcome to endure for years on end.

Each year, I set my ear closer to the heartbeat of the world, and each year I am saddened by the way individuals are automatically drawn into a marketing tactic, a scheme designed and implemented for one single objective. I listen to the parasites that worship this day babble endlessly on about today's history and, differently from last year, I feel no pity for them. Their decisions have already been made. The ideas fed to them by corporate marketing and advertising agencies like so much charcoal forced down the gullet of a drug-addled teen. I couldn't really care less why this day has come about and what historical significance it has. The fact that it has turned into a merchandising ruse to get automatons to mechanically fawn over each other for a single day out of the year, still makes me want to gargle antifreeze.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Ode to the Holiday Section at [insert retail store here]

Festive, abusive candy and card culture.
Under no circumstances does anyone need this much chocolate.
Can't this floor space be used for something more vital than
Knick-knacky, cheesy, false sincerity and pennance for "normal-day" neglect?

Voluminous, ridiculous aisles of shame.
As soon as one holiday ends, the next moves right in.
Lest we forget that Hershey's and Reese's still make sweets,
Every two months another brightly-colored bag of gut rot
Negates the last bag of similar gut rot, which was purchased
The day after whatever holiday it was, at a reduced price.
I bought some of it, after the fact, to prove that I want
Nothing to do with paying full price for empty, soulless drivel.
Everyone else in the world eats this shit up, needs it like a crackhead needs another rock.
So fucking what.

Do not expect me to buy in.
A candy bar is a candy bar, no matter what section of the store it comes from.
Yeasty, itchy cooze infections upon every employee of Hallmark Cards, you leeches of love.

A little too over the top this year?

A national crisis is at hand. It lies not in the hands of any administration. Not in the military. Not in the politics of this age. Instead, it lies in the hearts and minds of this pathetic populace contrived of half-wit automotons striving for that one unreachable thing, an emotion that can only be achieved through purchase. Propogated by a system, a system bent on the moral control and corruption of its inhabitants, these drooling lab rats shamble through their zombie-state toward that falsly-devised, morally-abject novelty...love.

Love is weakness.

Love is control.

Love is manipulation.

The system weilds love as a weapon. A bludgeoning tool used only to dominate its dejected sheep. The feebleminded public is herded like cattle into stores, often bewildered by the shiny paper, impelled by corporate coercion. In a world that embraces and preys on their weaknesses, this system invents emotion for these parasites. It has conjured a guilt-ridden holiday, based upon corruption, policy, greed and ultimate evil. It is this evil that manipulates these poor souls into extortion. A voluntary genocide. Prisoners to the system, these hapless fools claw their way through shelves in search of a prize which in the end, only helps to drag them further into the dark bowels of that very system. In the end, it leaves them financially bankrupt and morally defunct. Dead to rights, the system exterminates the will of all who follow it.

Fight that system.

Valentine's Day IS the new Holocaust.

You, who believe, are the victims...and there's no soap in these showers.

You can tell how desperated retailers are to do away with the Febuary consumer blah's. Valentines is getting pimped harder than Halloween and Christmas put together — I know flowers and chocolates are a thing of the past, but "surprising" her with 3 – 400$ worth consumer goods is silly. On a positive note, I'm pleased by the cheeky displays in the grocery store, where lube, fruit and whipped cream packages, et cetera can be purchased from the same display. If anything, the day should be about solid fucking, not the misogynisitc daddying of a significant other.

My dog died on Valentine's Day last year. Every year before that it had been a fairly shitty day for varying reasons. I think I'm cursed when it comes to V-Day. I really don't care though, celebrate or hate it all you want.
