Valentine what?

So lots of people, mainly girls, are so giddy when Valentine’s rolls around on the 14th. It’s great, but have you really thought about where it came from? Did you know two martyrs pretty much gave birth to Valentine’s?

Here’s why I think Valentine’s (v-day) is one of the biggest bullshit ‘holidays’. Think about it for a second. Did you really need Hallmark, Zales, Kay Jewelers and FTD to tell you how expect ‘love’? Give me a break people. They don’t give a shit if you are loved, they give a shit only about how much your love can pad their profits.

Guys are expected to be extra sweet and ‘loving’ on the 14th. Seriously, girls, if your guy is only acting that way on the 14th and no other time, you have a big problem. I tell Suz I love her every single day. The 14th won’t make me love her more or less. It’s just another day in our lives.

Instead of wasting money on flowers that die, put it away in savings for your next vacation together. Or maybe save for your (folks who aren’t married) wedding? Or how about that down payment on the house you can live in together. Get with it girls, stop getting herbed by those marketing departments!
