"never should have called but my head's to the wall and i'm lonely"

I just got done with a nice clean shave and I always feel a little better after that, I don't really know why. Maybe it is all about the after shave and smooth face or maybe it is because I actually accomplished something necessary today...who knows. I have been kind of drifting through my life the past few weeks and I don't really mind that too much to be honest. Sometimes it is better when you have the blinders on your life and just go straight ahead, not think about anything too in depth and keeping everything simple. I have found that thinking get's you in trouble as does trying to change things which are set in stone. One man cannot change the world, even if the world means everything to them.

Ok, I'm done for tonight...I just got up from a nap and I feel like ass.

This day...again

"Suddenly our shortcomings don't seem to matter that much"

To start off my entry on this lovely Valentines Day I would like to post the away message I will have on this entire wretched day:

"Valentines Day brings to mind the mindless greeting cards, useless stuffed animals, ridiculous pink and red hearts, people trying way to hard to get laid, shitty candy, a little naked winged man, stupid poems, even stupider love songs, fake sentiment, absolutely god awful roses, special "valentines day themed" television shows, no actual celebration of Saint Valentine, drunken and depressed singles, obnoxiously happy couples, those fucking little paper bags in elementary school were valentines were put, DID I MENTION SHITTY CANDY?!? and of course...everyone wishing everyone else a happy valentines day like it is a real fucking holiday. Here is what I have to say to this holiday:
FUCK OFF AND DIE YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF COMMERCIALIZED HALLMARK BULLSHIT!"

Now, wasn't that fun?

Ok, here is the problem I have with Valentines Day...it is a useless holiday. I know that most holidays are in fact useless( Halloween...not much redeeming value there) but on most holidays, more than 50% of the population actually enjoy celebrating some form of a seasonal holiday. In December you have Christmas, Kwanza and Hanukkah. Three holidays that most of the population can enjoy celebrating, regardless of their relationship status. Valentines day is only relevant to those who have significant others and even then, we could really do without it. I don't think anyones love is going to get stronger via conversation hearts and fancy dinners. If you really wanted to be classy you would do something for a person you cared about ANYTIME YOU DAMN WELL FEEL LIKE IT, not when the card companies tell you to celebrate your feelings. I have such issues with a holiday that is based off a Saint when there are hundreds of other Saint days that we could celebrate. HAPPY SAINT BARNABUS DAY EVERYONE! Doesn't really have the same ring though, does it. I am tired of the cards, the candy and the way that this holiday demeans those who are single for not having found someone. In the end though the card companies sell a shitload of paper, the candy companies keep churning out that chalk like candy and single people will still be surrounded by lovey dovey obnoxious couples who have big plans for this meaningless day. If you think I am bitter simply because I am single, you would be partially correct. I didn't care for this holiday much when I had a girlfriend and I sure as hell hate it a little bit more when I am single. Do I hate the fact that I am single...hell yes I do. Do I still like seeing cupid's bare ass everywere....hell no I don't. Single or not, this holiday has to go the way of the tower of babel...total and utter biblical destruction. Ok, I think I have done enough ranting on a topic which I could really go on bashing for about 3 more hours. Happy Saint Barnabus Day everyone...hey, it's getting kinda catchy.
