Oh, For Fuck's Sake, People...

Are there really so many days where everyone in the world is romantic and loving that having ONE where those wonderful emotions are intentionally front and center is a bad thing? I THINK NOT.

CELEBRATE LOVE.

BE TOLD!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm sure I'm with any number of others in this, but my grudge with the day isn't the celebration of love but rather the rampant commercialism that become associated with the act. Apparently I'm not really loving someone unless I *buy* them something. This artifical connection rather devalues our feelings, stating that there is a quantifiable amount which sufficiently expresses our devotion to each other. It is this act, this captialistic social convention, which I detest.

Scorching hot monkey sex is way better than any card, candy, or semi-precious stone in my opinion.

Scorching Hot Monkey Sex for the win!

But as to the other sentiment?

Oooh, touche! Fair enough. I both yield and apologize for the snarly gripe.

Hardly snarly!

*grin*

But didn't The Oatmeal nail it?

All of this is another way of saying: "Hooray for love! (Prezzies totally optional!)"

*grin*

Hooray!
