Obligatory Post-Valentine Cynicism

High Maintenance Valentine

Roses are red,
And I'm feeling blue,
They're so damn expensive,
But then, so are you.

Admittedly, being single is not all that its cracked up to be.

But it could be worse. At least, we end up saving more, for now.

Or, you could end up chained to a vicious harpy. Or a serial killer.

You could also be someone's burnished trophy. Looking good come election day, baby.

In short, you could end up making things worse by being with the wrong person.

Besides, not all of us can end up like this guy.

Proof that God exists and miracles happen

Besides, I believe that Valentine's Day is no longer about love. The saint the feast day was named after was renowned for conducting marriages in the Roman dungeons, and was a witness to love in the face of imminent death.

The modern Valentine is a stupid card you attach to over-priced flowers.

Valentine's Day is about mere "romance" (in its most base, vulgar sense), not love. There are probably more instances of STD transference than actual marriages during Valentine's, a prime testimony as to how a feast day can lose the whole point of its existence.

Ah, that's another story for another time. For now, Happy Valentine's Day / Singles Awareness Day to you all, and a hearty "Fuck you" to all those who suck face just to rub it in.

And to register my protest, let me end a trivialized Valentine's with something both trivial and a little bit disturbing.


Happy Valentine's Day, Liv. I'll see you in Fantasy Land.

Til next year.

    "True love or hidden agenda?" :-D

  2. I'd wager that it's the former. That guy is one of the biggest losers in the American political scene, and the red-headed bombshell will likely get more negative points for being associated with that political wannabe. The only thing keeping her there is love, I'd bet.

  3. One of the distinct advantages of being single is watching other couples flop around. ;-)
