So it's valentine's day....again.
I always get a kick out of the idea of valentine's day. To me it's a joke. Why bother showing the one you love how much you love them by buying flowers and chocolates? You should be doing that everyday. That's the way I look at it. To me this day is just a made up holiday to drum up sales in the gift card, flower and chocolate industry. As if the chocolate industry needs to sell more shit. I think, looking around at the majority of society, that they've done pretty well already.
I wish that we had a day to celebrate being single. I do it everyday but imagine a day dedicated to being single. There'd be drink specials at the bars for single people, you'd get discounts at stores everywhere, but only if you were single. Dinner for 1? Half price? Sign me up.
Of course this day does offer many opportunities for single people. Heading out to a bar or pub offers many chances to strike up conversations with lonely girls and guys who find this day rather depressing. Hey guys, it's just another day on the calendar. Or course we've been programmed to think of it as something bigger than it really is.
But hey, why not try and capitalize on it anyway?
