my funny anti-valentine

if you know me, you would know of my disdain for the hallmark holiday referred to as valentines day. only in this day and age can we have a holiday meant to bring people together making them feel more isolated and alone.

i for one, will not stand for it. so i bring to you, my avid fellow valentines-haters, two weeks of anti-valentines celebrations (a division of Vycious Entertainment, TM).

starting tomorrow i will begin posting, daily, of my hatred and frustration regarding this most false of holidays. each day will have a new song with posted lyrics and info for your enjoyment, thoughts and impressions on the concepts of romance and romantic love (with the cheapening of such by said commercial day), and maybe a little history lesson or two.

the end of this celebratory will involve movies (anti-schmaltzy-romance) and chocolate sundae overdoses for my fellow anti-v supporters and i, either at my place or some as of yet undisclosed, larger, location.

i look forward to enabling your vents and aiding your days through this most troubling time...

... all hail Discordia!

It really is quite unnerving how much like you I once was. Except for that dating girls your not attracted to bit... I don't know how you do it. There'd be an underpants revolt before I was able to boff someone I thought was doggish.

Yes keep your head up and you may yet find a reason to smile Bi... I mean (e:vycious). I know its hard to when things aren't looking up, but your time will come and eventually you'll be a champion against such insanities as an anti-valentines day!

I say that you instruct those who will attend you anti-v celebration to only show up without their clothes so that you all can get right to the love your're missing out on. (just a tip, cover everything in plastic, even Yoda)
These words of hope againt all reason and tact brought to you by (e:inspiraysean) Co.

I didn't think about how Valentine's Day can also make people feel isolated and alone - the singles on that day can seem like second class citizens. My solution to this problem is to reject that though, because if its a fake holiday then why should anybody get worked up about what other people are doing? Stay inside, smoke weed, watch First Blood, buy yourself chocolate and gifts instead of someone else and be oblivious.

I'm not a fan of this fake, business-induced holiday known as Valentine's Day. I've always hated it, but the one good thing about it is that it gives the most doggish of us a chance (maybe last chance? haha) at making the significant other feel special once a year. So for the screw-ups out there - take the shot!

The only difference from the original contrived celebration is that Vhanukkah involves 3 days of romantic-gift giving. Thus placing 3x the financial strain of even the December holiday season on my budget. The girlfriend is not even Jewish. Count yourself lucky :-)
