Welcome to JAWC v2.0, now with 23% more emo! The 14th really depresses me, it reminds me of how lonely I am or rather how incapable I am of being loved... Singles Awareness Day or Valentines' Day, really is just annoying to me, mainly because I don't have anyone to share it with... the other part of me dislikes the day because too many people play up the romance of the day, instead of realizing that everyday is special when you're with the person you love... Dedicating a day to candy, flowers and romance is a slap in the face to all the people who are genuine romantics, the people who find that just being with a person is satisfying... that even though deep down you feel insecurities bubbling to the surface, when you're together everything doesn't seem as bad... and then here comes a holiday that makes everything seem romantic... As if this day absolves all the days where the guy was a creep... here's a rose and a box of chocolate... love me!... the hell is that bullshit? I just don't get it... the whole concept of offering gifts to recieve love seems more superficial than christmas and twice as shallow... it sorta makes me sickened when I think about it... knowing that women fall for this crap and buy into it, with lines like, oh he bought me this... as if to show that your love is worth a set price... I see someone brag about what they got for V-Day and I can sum up how much of a whore she is... "oh, so that's what you're worth?... how nice for you..." However I'm looking at the day through the superficial instead of acknowledging that there are indeed romantics out there who genuinely use the day to express there love in a fashion slightly more affectionate than they normally do... please note "normally do".. that means they're affectionate throughout the year, not just that one day in order to get laid or some other favor... it's slightly comforting to delusion myself into thinking that there are people out there using the day correctly, expressing there love and truly being greatful for the love they receive in return... Yeah... that's all I got, it's almost 4am... and I'm tired... g'nite... - Tiki Man
